This week attention has been given the hay mar ket by Oregon dealers. It having been reported that the bay crop of that state Is short. A leading authority considers It likely large ship ments will be made to Oregon before the end of the season, which will make the market In teresting here, especially if Southern Califor nia continues to draw on us. At present up per grades of wheat hay are plentiful and easy, but medium grades hold their own much better. (Portland hay dealers say there Is no likeli hood of purchases being made In California for the local .markeC They 'say there is enough hay here to satisfy all their demands, and that they can get all they want, besides,, from Eastern Oregon and "Washington, and from Idaho. It Is possible that some California hay may be shipped to Oregon coast ports, but this Is .doubtful. On the other hand, should the weather turn bad and enow remain on the ground for any great length of time, California might be drawn on for supplies. ) PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Teed, Etc Very little Is doing in the wheat market. "With the decline In grain freights, the outlook is more promising for exporting than It has been at any time this season. The strong demand for gray feed oats and their scarcity has sent the price of this grade above that of No. 2- white oats. WHEAT Export basis: Walla Walla. 81 S2c; bluestem.

Operators Are Not Inclined to Make Heavy Committments on the Eve of Election. NEW YORK. Nov. 4. There were some very large professional operations In stocks today which were attributed to speculative pools, and sharp price advances resulted. The industrials absorbed much of the attention of the traders and were generally strong. The railroads were decidedly In the background. One or two points of, strength appeared among them, bat the railroad stocks generally were Inclined to sag. The subduing Influence of the coming election was plainly discernible in the disinclination to make commitments on the scale lately cus tomary. The pause In the advance Inevitably brought about some realizing Is the railroads, but it was not urgent. The prominent leaders of the speculation were credited with a pur pose to hold prices on & reduced volume of business for the present. The aggressive strength of the United States Steel stocks formed a broad underlying sup port of the whole market. The common took precedence over the preferred stock, both in the volume of the dealings and In the amount of its gain, but both stocks touched new high levels for the movement, allowing for the divi dend which came oft the preferred stock yes terday. The other Iron and steel stocks were arrested in sympathy, on account of the very substantial growth of orders received for vari ous grades of the product. Outside of these, there was a bewildering array of all kinds of Industrial stocks, some of them .selling at nominal figures, and some of them making their appearance in the record of transaction. There was no news to ac count for their sudden stirring up from a sedimentary otate, but the movement naturally spread when it was fairly started, based on the widely-held view that market prices of securities are capable of adjustment through out. Progress toward this point Ir the mar ket has been seen in the recent comparative prominence of Jow-priced railroads In the spec ulation. The money market continued very tranquil, notwithstanding the heavy losa In cash by rea son of the gold exports. The receipts from the interior on the express movement proved less than last week, notwithstanding the small premium on New York exchange which haa ruled at Chicago. A decreaso of nearly $9,000,009 In cash on all accounts Is indicated, not including the $2,000,000 in gold which will go to Cuba next week, and the recovery In exchange today brought conditions nearer to a resumption of engagements for Europe. When It was seen that the late money mar ket was not going 'to be affected by these con ditions, prices stiffened, but profit-taking on the day's rise made the closing rather easy, with only the United States Steel stocks at the best prices. Bonds were Irregular; total sales, par value, $6,855,000. United Suites bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Dta. Atchison do preferred ....

Nov. 4. Weakness in wheat was manifested at the start. Liverpool quo tations were much lower, presumably as a result of an increase In Argentine crops and a report from that country of contradicting rumors of unfavorable weather. Northwest ern receipts were quite liberal. In addition, prospects of rain In the Southwest gave promise of a break in the existing drought. This combination of features unfavorable from the bull standpoint brought out a lot of loosely held wheat, purchased under more encouraging circumstances than surrounded the market. Opening quotations on De cember were off to c at $1.12 to $1.12. May was down He to Sc. at $L11 to $L11. The demand was not of sufficient strength to prevent a steady weakening of values. December sold off to $1.11 and May to $1.11. Late In the day the market rallied somewhat on buying brought out by a report of a St, Louis trade Journal. Ac cording to this authority, drought conditions have prevailed quite generally throughout the "Winter wheat belt, and in some sections, notably In the Southwest, complaints of re tarded growth or Inability to seefi are be coming more general. Trading throughout the greater part of the day lacked enthusi asm, and was confined mainly to local oper ators. The market closed rather weak, with December c lower, at $1.11. Final quo tations on May wero at $1.11L11. Fins maturing weather and weakness of Wheat had a depressing Influence on the corn market early In the day. December opened unchanged to be lower at 48c to 48c and closed at 48c The trading In oats was extremely quiet and the market held steady the entire day. December closed at 28 623 c Liquidation of provisions was on a rather large scale, and, on an absence of support, the market became quite weak. At the close January pork was off 17 be at $12.524. Lard was down 10c at $7.05. Ribs were 59?bc lower at $6.47bS6.50. The Board of Trade will be closed Tues day. November 8, election day. The leading futures ranged as follows: "WHEAT. Open. High. Low.

Low Stocks Produce Pressure for Quick Delivery and Strengthen Prices Traffic Returns Gopd. NEW YORK. Nov. 4. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Business Improves steadily, and there Is ao evidence of anxiety regarding the future. Pay ments aro more promptly met, tending to cum ulate preparations for coming trade and the disposition to limit purchases to immediate needs is gradually disappearing. Conserv atism during the Summer and Autumn had a beneficial effect, reducing stocks to a low point. As the demand broadens, this scarcity of supply produces pressure for quick deliv ery, and prices are strengthened. Aside from Inflation caused by speculation, there is no better sign of commercial progress than ad vanclng commodity markets. All the leading branches of manufacture are in better posi tions. , Traffic reports are satisfactory, railway earn ings In October exceeding last year's by 7.6 per cent. Foreign commerce returns at this port for the last week show a gain of $789,276 In. exports and a less of $297,752 la Imports, as compared with 1903. "Wholesome progress Is recorded In the iron and steel Industry, sentimental Improvement being succeeded by actual business. Limited supplies maintain hides In a very strong position, and eome lines are bought on advance of salting. Raw woel has again ad vanced, and is an Important factor In the situ ation. Commercial failures this week in the United States are 229. against 253 last week. 215 the preceding week and 210 the corresponding week last year.

Resumption of work by 10,000 Eastern cotton millbands la a feature, but the Fall River tie up continues, and the success of a. comparative ly small number of mine employes Is respon sible for the idleness of close to 40,000 In diana and Illinois coalmlnera, and higher prices for bituminous coaL A very general advance in staple prices covering a wide range of in dustry is an event worthy of note.
