Affects Wheat Trade East-
It pn nminr fnf Clniir
The most encouraging feature of the hop
market la the entry of Eastern brewers.
Nearly all the local dealers axe supplied
with orders, -which, .however, they have dif
ficulty In Ailing. There Is now no question
hut that most of the big breweries of the
Bast are practically out of hops. They have
held oil, hoping that the market would
weaken, but finding that growers held steady
they have at last come Into the market. As
the demand from England Is sUll good, prices
continue very strong. Purchases from first
hands have not been large in the past two
days, owing to the unwillingness of growers
to part with the remainder of their crops.
It is noticeable that whenever a lot is of
fered for sale, a buyer is always ready to
seize upon It. Most of the hop districts are
closely cleaned out, about the only large
lots remaining at Eugene, Aurora and n the
country around Salem. The latest pur
chases announced in the Aurora district
were made by Seavey & Metzler, who se
cured 60 bales from F. E. Yergen, 81 from
Fred Tergen and 65 from Isaac Miller at
from 8 (Hi to SOU cents. The same firm
bought a 163-bale lot from Phil Nels, of this
city.
The latest cable advices report strong mar
kets on the other side. The following was
received from Nuremburg:
Hop market firm, with an upward tend
ency in Bohemia. English exporters are in
the market. More buyers than sellers. Hold
ers are firm in their views and not disposed
to sell even at the advance.
The London Times, pf October 8. reported
the hop trade In that city as follows:
Trade has been of fairly large dimen
sions, the demand running chiefly on the
cheaper varieties, which 6how a further ad
vance. The choicer descriptions are meet
ing with more inquiry, but so far the vol
ume of business in this direction Is small.
Growers display an Increasing disinclination
to offer at the present level of values, espe
cially in view of the 6harp advance re
ported from the Continent, where demand
continues active, and many places appear
to be practically 6old out. "W
The Times reports from the hopgrowlng
districts follow:
Kent and Sussex Trade during the past
jj week has been slow; many large buyers con
tinue to postpone purcnases ana more nan is
generally will not buy with any freedom.
The value of copper hops has steadily and
continuously risen. The szna'llness of the
crop and the complete absence of any sub
stantial reserve of old bops makes the pres
ent position of the market stronger and safer
than it has ever been before. The total sup
plies of English and foreign new and old
hops available for use must be less than tho
available supply of all descriptions in 1882,
when prices rose to a record level. The Board
of Agriculture's official return of the crop,
just Issued, disposes of many erroneous es
timates, some of which put the crop at fig
ures out of all proportion to the actual re
sult, which is a total of 282.230 cwt. Taking
the total annual consumption for all purposes
at from 750,000 to SOO.000 cwt., this would
show a deficit, at the lower figure of 467,070
cwt., and the total crop is therefore only
equal to a little more than four months'
consumption. As time advances the scarcity
of hops must be more and more keenly felt,
and it looks as if there will he practically
a hop famine before another crop can begrown
and gathered. The serious reduction of acre
age which has contributed to the present
position has been caused entirely by the heavy
losses incurred by growers In late years.
Continental markets are rising and the Bel
gian crop Is believed to be largely oversold.
A far larger proportion of English copper
! hops are already sold than Is generally real
i ired. but at present there is scarcely any in
quiry for East or Mid-Kent growths.
Worcester Ttodays market was not quite
r so well attended, and business ruled slow
for the time of year. Most of the successful
growers continue to ask extreme prices for
their hops, and this has retarded business to
a certain extent, but in some quarters more
' disposition was shown to meet purchasers'
views.
"WHEAT The wheat market offers few new
1 features this week. There continues a good
i Eastern demand for wheat, but the car slt
x uatlon is even worse than it was before. The
V nion Pacific has been making use of Great
Northern cars, but now they decline to take
any more and are evidently determined to
worry along with their own equipment.
"Wheat shippers, by paying the additional lo
cal charges, could get access to Great North
ern rolling stock. This would bo an ex
pensive undertaking, but they may yet re
j eort to it.
There Is practically nothing doing In the
"Ray of export business. English prices have
. declined with liberal Russian shipments and
( the possibility of heavy receipts from Ar
t gcntlna further weaken the situation. This
I Is shown by the following review in the
Northwestern Miller of October 10. from its
London correspondent:
The feature of the market Is the enor
I incus shipments from Russia, which have
!been attracted by the higher level of prices.
, They have beaten all previous records for the
, season, for the last nine weeks. Since the
1 beginning of the season, the Russian exports
con-pare as follows for four years, In quar
ters:
1004...
1JW3...
1002...
I 1001...
. 8.700.000
3.120,000
2.400,000
1,700,000
These large shipments, supplemented by a
. I'.beral movement from India, have the ef
fect of diverting attention from the Ameri
can position, and from the lack of shipments
Mfrcm that country. But it is not to be ex-
pected that Russia wilt bo able to continue
this rate of shipments long.
In the first place, the end of November will
I see the Asov ports closed by ice; and In the
it second place, the offlolal estimates of this
1 year's crop show it to be much smaller than
(last year. In Poland. Caucasia. Siberia and
Asiatic Russia an average crop is about 16,
f 000.000 quarters, although last year nearly
0.000.000 quarters were grown. The general
opinion is that prices will have to rule at
a high level for Russia to ship more wheat
I this season than she did last season, not-
I' withstanding the increase shown by the ex
perts so far since August 1.
From Roumanla it is now pretty well con
firmed that the surplus will not exceed
2.500,000' quarters, as compared with above
5.750.000 quarters last year.
From JVustralfifilA. thA mnt n.nt Mv.A.-
I krmounce that, owing to insufficiency of raln-
jfall the crop will be decidedly leas than last
I year: perhaps to the extent of one-third. This
would, however, still leave a surplus of
000.000 to 2.500.000 quarters, against 6,000,-
000 in the present year.
1 "With regard to the American position, a
certain part of the trade here still believes
tn&t there must oe a respectable amount
for export, and that Chicago. Minneapolis
aad New Tork can not long maintain their
prices above an export level.
It Is needless to add that a good deal more
than usual depends upon Argentina. There
fire all sorts of exaggerated statements made
las to the enormous Increase in the area sown;
lome of these statements indeed are physic-
lUy Impossible to be true. It is, however.
fact that so far the weather conditions
Lava been favorable on the whole, although
pot so uniformly eo, as was the case last
season. The present indications are, never
theless, that the crop may exceed even that
bf last Tear, which prorlded about 11. 000,000
quarters for export W-e must, however, wait
another month before it will be eale to reckon
Upon. this crop.
The world's visible supply has increased
materially during September, as is usual at
this period. The most significant item is
the large increase in the' Russian docks.

FLOUR, FEED, ETC. The only outside
flour demand of any Importance now comes
from the Eastern States. It is estimated that -;
about 150.000 barrels of Oregon and Wash
ington flour have been bought for Eastern
shipment and the movement shows no abate
ment. No difficulty Is found in securing cars
to transport these orders. The Oriental busi
ness has fallen off materially, as the Chinese
and Japanese- balk at present asking prices.
Exports, however, still continue active on
old orders. No new trading is reported with
Europe or other foreign quarters. The local
demand Is good and the maket remains firm
at last week's advance.
Mlllfeed of every kind is strong at former
quotations, owing to the good inquiry from
near-by points and also from without the
state. Barley is quoted very firm, .while oats
remain steady. More strength is shown by
the hay market.
PRODUCE The city creameries complain
that the demand for butter is not nearly so
good as It was during the recent wet spell.
Cream is coming In more freely and there
is no shortage in local butter stocks. East
em butter is fairly plentiful and is, offered
at prices, for some grades, far below those
of the home product. On the whole, prices
may be said to be only Xalrly steady.
Oregon eggg are very scarce, but the de
ficiency is made up by a plentiful supply of
Eastern, which find ready eale to the hotel
and restaurant trade. Many of the retail
grocers are taking fresh Eastern eggs in pref
erence to Valley eggs, as the latter are not
all what they are claimed to be.
The poultry market has held Its own this
week in spite of efforts to bear down prices,
and unless there is a heavy influx, values are
not likely to go lower.
Receipts of Oregon potatoes are increas
ing and the Inquiry for California potatoes is
consequently lessening. "Well-Informed deal
ers expect that eventually some Oregon pota
toes will be shipped to San Francisco, but
price conditions now do not warrant such
business, as the Oregon article is held too
high to compete with California potatoes. They
base their views on the fact that there al
ways has been a certain demand in Califor
nia for Oregon potatoes, and these purchasers
will take no others when they can get them.
Nothing new has occurred in the onion mar
ket, which, at present, is dull.
GROCERIES, ' MEATS, ETC The staple
grocery list remains unchanged from a week
ago. Sugar is strong on the recent Eastern
advance. Coffee Is also firm. Teas are dull
and unchanged. The undertone of the rice
market is firmer. A shortage in the Califor
nia tomato pack gives indication of a possible
advance In these goods.
A steady livestock market was reported dur
ing the week, .with average receipts at the
Portland yards. Dressed veal has ruled
firmer with prospects of higher prices. ' Pork
is steady. Hog products are as last quoted.

STOCK BUYING IS CHECKED
SEVERE INROADS ON PRICES AT
NEW YORK.
Reaction Is Held Under Control and
Process Benefits the Market
Effect of Foreign News.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26. Dealings in stocks to
day were not up to yesterday's record, but tho
dimensions and the astonishing breadth and
variety or the market were well maintained.
The list was eubjected to a pretty searching
liquidation, and severe inroads upon prices re
sulted, but the benefit to the market's health
of this process began to show in the latter
part of the day, when there were substantial
recoveries from the low leveL
The reactionary course of the market was
largely due to technical causes. As much of the
recent buying has been due wholly to the fact
that prices were moving up and "were expected
to continue to do so, yesterday's demonstration
thsit the advance was checked induced selling.
Yesterday's performance In Unlon Pacific and
the inadequatenesa of the news to explain it
awakened uneasiness, owing to the half-hjeter-
ical character of the movement and its revela
tion of tho emotional nature of very large
operations in the market. The unusual state
which prompts the indefinite buying may be
altered by & simple change in the direction of
prices, and considerations of intrinsic value
have .no force to prevent this change. There
is the additional factor of forced sales on Jhe
reaction by the wiping out of narrow margins
and the uncovering of stop-loss orders placed
below the market, which are always In usual
volume after a volatile rise In price.
All these forces operated In causing the
weakness teday. But -consideration was also
given today to the more material factors of
the disappointing statement of the United
States Steel Corporation, the Irritating tension
between Russia and Great Britain and the
prospect of a creditable gold export movement.
Reports weer circulated on the Stock Exchange
yesterday that the quarterly net earnings would
amount to $23,000,000. While the $18,753,032
reported was near the expectation In more rea
sonable and well-informed quarters, the low
figure of the unfilled orders on hand was a
shock to the sanguine feeling which has grown
up regarding the revival In the steel industry,
and the additional Informal assurances given
by the chairman of the board of the further
expansion in orders since the turn of the quar
ter proved insufficient to overcome this senti
ment. Selling from the steel centers and from
the West was very large, both of the United
States Steel' stocks and the Pacifies, and Penn-
sylvanla showed the usual sympathy with
United States Steel. London also sold freely
here.
While it was believed that the acuteneas of
the Anglo-Russian crisis was relieved for the
present, tho situation was felt to be dangerous
and liable to some explosive episode which
might throw it out of the pale of the diplo
mats to control. Veiled Intimations of undis
closed developments In the situation played
part In the market.
The report that arrangements had been prac
tically concluded for a $270,000,000 Russian loan
to be placed In Berlin and Paris sufficiently
explains the pressure from those points for
gold, and points conclusively to a considerable
withdrawal of gold from New York. With the
Interior demand for currency not yet satisfied,
any considerable withdrawal of. gold in addition
will necessarily result In higher money rates
here The recognition of this fact doubtless
hod Its influence in checking the speculative
buying. The reaction was not beyond control
at any time. Rock Island and Ontario & West
em reflecting their employment aa brakes to
restrain the decline. The rally was not fully
maintained, and the closing was easy, but the
urgent liquidation was not renewed.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value.
$6,500,000. United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

HEAVY LIQUIDATION
Leads to
Sharp Break
In Wheat at
Chicago.
CHICAGO. Oct. 26. Small receipts and com
paratively firm cables caused a steady tone in
the wheat market at the opening. December
was a shade lower to a shade higher, at $1.14
1.14. May was unchanged to c higher, .at
$1.131.13. On a fair demand from com
mission-houses and pit traders, the market ad
vanced a trifle, December selling up to $1.14
and May to $1.13. Selling, supposed to be for
a leader of the bull crowd, caused a moderate
reaction. Trading was rather quiet until late
in the day, the market lacking any definite
news, either bullish or bearish. Late In the
day, the market broke sharply under heavy
liquidation. During the latter parTof the ces
sion, a persistent report had been in circula
tion that 250,000 bushels of cash wheat had
been sold here at 2c under the December
price. Naturally, these rumors had a depress
ing influence on speculative trading. An ad
vance in consols and a reported backdown by
Russia was an even greater blow to holders,
especially those who had expected further war
scares. Late weakness at Minneapolis had
considerable influence on, the market here. After
selling off to $1.13, December closed at $1.13
1.14. May closed at $1.12.
In corn, an active commission-bouse demand
for both December and May deliveries caused
a strong tone. December opened 6e higher,
at 40?49c. and closed at 4949c.
Oats were dull but firm. After opening c
higher, at 29 c December advanced to 29c,
and closed at 29c.
As the result of a 10 per cent decline In the
price of hog's, an easier tone prevailed In pro
visions at the opening, with all products show:
Ing slight losses. At the close, all January
products were down 2c

OUTPUT OF THE MILLS OF THE
STATE IN THE PAST YEAR.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 28. Special.) The
Merchants Exchange has received reports
from all flour mills in California, showing a
total output for the 12 months ending June
30. 1004. of 2,183,238 barrels. Exports of flour
in the same period werje 917,176 barrels, and
import 5S3.197 barrels. Assuming stocks of
flour were the same July 1, 2004. as the year
before. It shows that the amount actually
consumed in California- for the fiscal year
was 1,854,259 barrels. The per capita con
sumption was equal to 235 pounds of wheat.
The wheat ground other than California
growth was 71.220 tens, which was one-fourth
of the total amount ground. This was im
ported at a higher price than the ruling rate
for milling wheat in the California market
and was made necessary by the lack of gluten
in California wheat. Thcoe importations have
been rapidly Increasing and are today greater
than ever. The Merchants' Exchange figures
have been compiled to help the movement,
now crystallizing-, to Improve the quality of
wheat raised In California.
The grain market was generally weaker af
ter ' a steady opening. December barley was
freely sold by large holders. Oats closed
weak.
Cool, foggy weather checked trade In the
fruit market. Fancy Oregon Spltzenbers- ap
