WHEATTRADESTOPS
Car Situation Is WorseThan at
Any Time Before.
DEALERS OUT 01? THE MARKET
Orientals Consider Flour Prices Too
High, but the East Is Still
Buying Deadlock in the
- . Hop Trade.
The produce market offer but few favorable
features this week. Trading 'generally "Wjls
dull, and values -were Inclined to weakness.
This was particularly the case with the wheat
market. Added to the depression at Eastern
anfi European centers, there was the car block
ade In the Northwest, which, Instead o Im
proving, has gone from bad to worse. The
result has been an almost total cessation of
buying for Eastern shipment, and as exporting
cannot be profitably done In the face of high
freights and lo.wer English, values, trade for
the moment has almost come to a standstill,
the only buying reported being for milling ac
count. The latest announcement In the railroad sit
uation was an order to the O. R. & N. prohibit
ing the use of any more cars of the Harrlman
system for the shipment of wheat Eastward.
This leaves at the disposal, of dealers only such
rolling stock of Eastern'connectlcna can be
'ftecured, and they are Insignificant when the
vast quantity of wheat yet to be moved Is con
sidered. Fufiy 15,000,000 bushels of North
western wheat have been bought for shipment
to the Eastern States, and somewhat less than
balf of this has been forwarded up to date.
Under the Harrlman order 4t is evident that
"a considerable part of the remainder cannot
reach Its destination until well along Into next
year. Should there come a slump In the mar
kets in the meantime, as some wheat men
fear, it would go hard with the speculators.
Under the circumstances, dealers are casting
.sbout for some means of raising the blockade,
-and they may yet have recourse to the water
iroute to get the wheat East. There Is appar
ently so prospect of securing American steam,
era for the purpose, and they are considering
the chartering of a number of American sail
lng vessels, of which several are lying Idle at
!an Francisco. If these ships can be secured
at figures that will make the business possible,
the problem will. In a measure, be solved.
Under the circumstances. It Is exceedingly
difficult to secure accurate quotations, as any
prices given must be more or less nominal. On
the basis of the Liverpool market, and pro
vided more ships could be secured at 20s.
"Walla Walla wheat for export here would be
worth SO cents. It is not likely, however, that
a vessel could be taken at that rate, and any
higher figure would mean a correspondingly
lower wheat quotation. On the other hand,
wheat has been bought ostensibly for export
purposes at considerably over SO cents, and
It Is reported that one large lot changed hands
at S3 cents. This makes the actual guaglng
of local values difficult. For milling purposes
the flour mills are quoting club at 83 cents,
and for extra choice lots more is paid. On the
basis of the Chicago market club wheat has
been bought In the interior at the equivalent
of 85 cents Portland, but, under the circum
stances above noted, the trading has of late
been of small proportions.
A review of the foreign wheat situation Is
riven by F. Lenders & Co. in their circular,
fated London, October 27:
The market appears to us in no mood for ad
vancing prices. From whatever point of view
the survey Is taken. It is evident that -supplies
are quite ample for all requirements of
the immediate future, and It must be admitted
that stocks in the principal importing centers
are not being reduced at a rate which would
encourage Importers to increase their holdings.
The quantity afloat Is large almost unwieldy
and 'as we have already mentioned, some of
the importing centers are already taxed to find
storage accommodations.
America shows no signs of Increasing ship
ments, and the visible supply continues to In
crease, whilst It is reported that some of the
Minneapolis mills are being temporarily closed,
which may have the effect of bringing down
the price of cash wheat. Primary receipts,
however, show some signs of diminishing, and
it Is quite within the bounds of possibility that 1
the rush of new wheat to market attracted by
the high prices obtainable Is for the moment
over, and If large Interests also should be un
der wheat, there ought to be so difficulty in
keeping up prices over there and advancing
them further. All that, however, need not
affect European markets.
"We are coming every day nearer to the Ar
gentine crop, and already Its Influence Is be
ing felt. As the crop gradually approaches,
maturity, giving evidence of good quality and
a considerable Increase over last year, sellers
offer with greater confidence, and a fair busi
ness la the new crop has already been con
cluded. Once the market cornea under political
influences other considerations are thrown to
the winds, and until the present tension is re
moved, either In one way or the other. It Is
useless expressing an opinion on the probable
course of the market.
FLOUR The flour trade Just now is running
olow. The bulk of the new business Is with
the Eastern States, the Orient taking but lit
tle Interest in the situation. It is estimated
that somewhat over 500 carloads of flour have
been bought by the Eastern trade since the
movement started, and inquiries and orders
continue to come in. No trouble with the car
situation Is reported in this line. But few or
ders have been placed by the Asiatics lately,
as they have not seen fit to raise their views
to a level-with asking prices on this Coast. A
good supply of former orders, however. Insure
full cargoes for the next two regular liners to
call, and the usual quantity of overflow -freight
will go to. the Bound, for- shipment by the
steamers there. There are also rumors that
an independent steamer may be chartered to
take care of some of the business that the
local line Is unable to handle, but the report
cannot be coo firmed.
HOPS The market for hops Is In as inactive
state. Eastern brewers are holding off. evi
dently trying to shake the confidence of hold
ers. Growers want 32 cents or better, and
dealers and agents of the Easterners will not
talk hops at these figures. . The result Is a
deadlock, the outcome of which depends on
which side holds out longest. Should weak,
holders become frightened and start, lo un
load, a break would be Inevitable, but" if all
growers stand pat. It Is universally conceded
that they can bring the brewers to time. The
fact that the consumers are offering around
30 cents, and are anxious to buy bops at that
price. Is a pretty good Indication that they
want the goods. No important sales .from
first hands were made In the last few. days.
Statistically, the position Is stronger than the
actual market, but there Is no cause for
alarm.
PRODUCE Potatoes and onions are the only
varieties of farm products that show much
firmness. Their strength is due rather to
small receipts than to any Increase In the de
mand. Farmers are holding back their poultry,
which gives an Improved look to this market,
but, on the other hand. It cannot be said that
there is any "real betterment, as retailers still
decline to take hold. An attempt made yester
day to advance prices was unsuccessful.
Game Is coming In sparingly, but sells well,
yeeasanta, at &e5.50 and quail at 22.50.
"Wild ducks, are as last quoted.
Oregon ecss. If strictly fresh, bring 32
cents; but they are very scarce. Eastern cgs
are firmer on the advance try the East, and
some of the big Nebraska shippers have noti
fied their ens termers here that their stocks are
available.
Butter continues steady, though receipts are
lighter. Local butter makers complain of a
scarcity of cream.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC No important
changes were made in staple groceries In the
past week. Sugar Is as last quoted,- in spite
of numerous advances in the East, which gives
rise to some talk of manipulation on the
Coast. Others believe prices here are held
down by the presence of large quantities of
China sugar. Rice Is rather firmer, Liverpool
salt Is down $1 from last week's figures.
No change beyond a weakening in hogs Is
reported.. In the livestock, situation, notwlth
standlngrecetpts have been heavy. Dressed
meatsare slow, and veal and pork are con
siderably weaker and hard to move. Hog
products are unchanged; .

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 36. (Special.) The
potato market was badly handicapped by In
cessantly large arrivals from river districts,
which are crowding the wharves and filling
the stores. There IS no present cutlet through
shipping channels. Until the great Incubus of
ordinary stock is worked off, leading dealers
do. not expect an Improvement in prices. Really
fancy Salinas and Oregon Burbanks bold up
well In the depression, and are relatively firm,
the former selling up to $1.35, and later to $1.
Sweets are steadier under light arrivals. Fancy
onions are firm, but offerings at $2 are ample.
Moat kinds of garden vegetables are In smaller
supply, and choice selections show firmness.
Oranges are easier, with $2.75 a top quota
tion for fancy navels, and standard selling
down to $1.75. The first carload from South
ern California has just arrived. A carload of
Sunflower brand Is expected from Redlands on
Friday. Choice lemons are firm. The apple
market Is overloaded and weak. Half a dozen
freshly arrived carloads from outside the state
are now in the railroad yard. Fancy shipping
grapes are selling at $1 to $1.16.
Wheat options, affected by the Chicago ad
vance, sold higher, with trading light. Spot
prices were steady. Barley and oats were well
maintained. Feedstuff were firm. Hay was
dull.
Dressed turkeys are In larger supply and

STOCK MARKET SENSITIVE
REFLECTS UNEASINESS FELT IN
THE LONDON EXCHANGE.
Bearish Feeling Accentuated by Ab
sence of Expected Accumulation
of Outside Orders.
NEW YORK. Nov. 16. Valued of securities
showed themselves sensitive today to the re
newed uneasiness In London over the reports
of friction la the negotiations between Russia
and Great Britain over the North Sea trouble.
The uneasiness was accentuated in the London
market by the news of the collision on the
Afghanistan frontier. But the special sensi
tiveness of the New York stock market to
these rather remote factors was probably due
to the fact that the gradual restoration of
telegraphic facilities to outside centers failed
to bring In the expected accumulaUcn of buy
ing. There was some vigorous opposition to
the reaction at the opening, but the support
ing tactics became languid when the light
ness of the Increased buying orders was per
ceived. A fairly general reaction followed.
The later improvement In London sentiment,
and the termination of the day's business for
account of that capital opened the way for
recoveries In the later market, and there were
a number of aggreailvely strong, features de
veloped to help on the rally beside the violent
movements In obscure specialties, which con
tinued In evidence with a rather dubious effect
on speculative sentiment as a whole.
The action of stocks which were the sub
jects of goo4 news announcements was espe
cially disappointing In the early reaction. The
advanced price of steel billets of $1.50 per ton
Increased the selling pressure of United States
Steel and some of the other steel Industries,
with resulting losses of a point or more. It Is
not a new rule for observance by professional
traders In Wall street to sell on good news.
But the recent absorptive power at the market
has taught -the dealers to expect the accom
plishment of such selling without making much
impression on prices. News of general con
ditions offered nothing to warrant depression
of values. The optimistic speech of the Secre
tary of the Treasury at the Chamber of Com
merce banquet last night was much commented
upon. The cancellation of over $1,000,000 of
the Intended gold shipment to Paris was an
nounced, although most of this waa re-engaged
later In the day.
The foreign trade statement for October
showed a decline of over $8,000,000 In the bal
ance In our favor, compared -with last Octo
ber, but an Increase In the total value of, ex
ports of over $2,000,000. With the value of
domestic experts alone lower by nearly $10.
000,000 than last October, there was a growth
In exports of manufactures of about $12,000,000,
In which the extraordinary movement of cop
per presumably figures. With total exports
of a value of $162,670,393. the October figures
are lifted above those of any preceding month
since October of 1900, with the exception of
December last. The value of imports has also
Increased, to a figure larger than since March
of last year, thus making the balance In our
favor for the month. But the foreign trade
total for the month has mounted to an aggre
gate of $255,000,000, not counting the move
ment of silver and gold which Is in excess of
any previous monthly total In recent yearn.
The features of strength In the market were
Amalgamated Copper, the local tractions, and
the subsidiary Pennsylvania stocks. They
failed to- sustain prices at the late recovery,
and the market closed easy, with some stocks
at the lowest of the day.
Rock Island bonds were active and strong,
and some of the other active speculative Issues
were well maintained. Total sales. $1,503,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on call.

GENERAL BUYING MOVEMENT.
Lifts Prices at Chicago After a Weak Open
ing. CHICAGO, Nov. 16. Before the opening- the
wheat pit traders were greeted with an offi
cial statement of the world's shipments and of
the visible supply, both totals being discour
aging to the bull sentiment. Another factor
contributing to the easier tone was a decline In
all foreign grain markets. Liverpool was
down over c Initial, quotations on Decem
ber were c lower to c higher, at $1.10
to $1.11. May was c lower to c higher,
at $1.1101.11. For a time there was gen
eral selling, and prices slumped. December to
$1.10 and May to $1.10. Shorts took ad
vantage of the break, and In covering sales
caused an upward movement In prices. As
the session advance, the buying became more
general, and resulted In a strong undertone.
The improved demand was attributed mainly
to a revival In cash business at all Important
grain centers. A message from Minneapolis
stated that the demand for cash wheat there
was the beat experienced so far on the drop.
An explanation of the sudden development In
the demand for cash wheat in the Northwest
was the presumption that millers had either
made some large sales of flour or that they
had come Into the market for future supplies
because of the dip In prices, In this connec
tion a message from the Pacific Coast, stating
that it was hinted there that Japan will be
forced to buy Immense stocks of American
flour within a few weeks, was considered" sig
nificant. During the latter part of the session
prices steadied until December touched $1.12
and May $1.12. The close was almost at the
highest point of the day, final quotations on
December being 11 higher, at $1.12
1.12. May closed lc up. at $1.1201.12.
Strength -of wheat was the main factor In
the com market. December closed lc up,
at Cl051.
Oats were firm, pecember closed c up, at

Buying by packers, and covering by shorts
caused a strong provision market. The doee
