THE- MXRNING OEEGrCfcNIA, HTJ;RSDAY, NOYEMBEK 24, 15 iEADbQI$ MOPS No Business D6ing as BuyersJ Are Out of Market SOME HOLDERS ARE ANXIOUS Improvement Is Expected After -First of theVear Decll ning Wheat 'Prices Check. Eastern Busi ness Flour Situation. A condition pres.Ua In the hop market that has been long feared 'by 'many- of the big grow ers and dealers. It Is a prolonged deadlock that Is having a natural effect on prices. Brew era -srill Tict buy. England? ls'Stt present out 'of the market, and speculators are holding aloof. The result is a deadxnarket that cannot "be described, as otherwlse'than -weak. 'While it is true that not many bops are offering. It is eald.that some-good lots can be. procured at about one cent under former asking prices. This, ltehould be .stated, is rather due tottbe -weakness of the individual holders than to any other reason, for the great majority of grow ers refuse to make any concessions. A case is cited -of one lot (sold Within the last few days at about SO cents by a speculator who bought them not long ago at a cent over the price at which be cold them. It is presumed he was .financially pressed and had to realize on them. There are other speculators in the same fix who may be forced to sacrifice their hops and I a lew growers -who likewise have cold feet re trying to sell at lees than they formerly wanted. All thla hurts the market and in creases the feeling of Weakness. Well-posted hopmen, veterans -in the trade, who staked their money with a realization that Just such an emergency was apt to arise, display no uneasiness -whatever. They point 'out that the last month or six weeks of the year Are almost invariably dull, especially if high prices prevail. Brewers do' not buy more than they have to before the lend of the year. but wait until after their Inventories are made ' up. Thla explains the activity that is nearly always seen about the middle of January. There Is no reason .In their mind why this sea son should prove an exception to the rule, therefore they are- confident that the present depression will "be" followed "by an active buy ing movement!- and higher prices. The sta tistical position of the market is certainly in their favor. While they are agreed that there will be improvement not' later than the middle of January, there is a difference of opinion cs to how low prices will go If they drop at All before the turn of the year. Even those who are most certain that there will be a tem porary decline do not think that the market can pos6lbly,get below 28 cents. Others, and their opinion is Just us good, .declare that the present level of values will be maintained. Everything, of course, depends on the attitude of holders. They have the market in their hands now more than at any time since the reason opened. Careful compilations of the state's output by 1 ceding dealers, based on shipments already made and Quantities In storage, show 80,000 to 5,000 bales as Oregon's production this year. This Is more than was generally figured upon earlier In the season, the Increase being due to the appearance of numerous lots from t-ectlons where they were not expected. For the same reason the quantity ' unsold in the stat is placed by sores hopmen as high as 15,000 or 16.000 bales, but most vraders believe that not over 10,000 bales are in the hands of growers and email country dealers. Eastern advices are of quiet and unchanged markets. The English situation Is thus re ported by the Kentish Observer of Novem ber Si: During the past five or six days the hop market has been inactive. The largest buyers are holding, back longer than usual, and are k apparently trying to wear the growers out. One fair-sized . parcel of East Kent hops has been sold at 10 10s per cwt., but a much larger lot of Bramllngs part of a growth the quality of which was declared to bo as fine as anything grown this year, has been parted with at 10 per cwt. This was the price offered for It In the first Instance, and the grower was not able to get any advance, though It was -stated that other growths not nearly so good had realized 10 10s and 10 15a. Some Mid Kent growths have changed hands since last week at 8 15s, and an offer of 9 for Fuggles has been refused. Holders as a whole are very firm. A mail report from .Nuremberg says: There is a quiet tendency prevailing on our market at present. Buyers axe offering lower prices which have in some instances been ac cepted and generally speaking quotations are about 4s to 5s lower than at the beginning of. me past week. WHEAT The local wheat market shows no sign of life. With the .falling off in Eastern prices, -the demand from that section has come to a standstill, and dealers are giving their whole attentton to Ailing old orders. The ex port market Is also dull, owing to the de clines at Liverpool. Shippers are -waiting to tee what will be the outcome of the meeting of the Foreign Shipowners' Association at Lon don. If they maintain the present freight schedule, there Is not likely to be any export movement of wheat until prices abroad are ad vanced, or values here are lowered. The foreign situation is thus reported by the London correspondent of the Northwestern Miller: Enormous -arrivals in this country, almost unprecedented in exjent, tend to keep the mar ket In a dull state, and there are sellers today of cargoes for distant shipment at sixpence below last week's level, which" may be an in dication either that the .trade does not be lieve that America can raUe the European level of price to its own, or that buyers do not believe in paying ik premium on distant ar rivals. We are perplexed, too. by the various report received from the American "side of the At lantic; we do not know, In"" fact, whether America hss an exportable surplus of .SO.000.000 bushels, as some affirm, or of onlyT-tO.000.000 bushels, which latter Is the total vindicated by your .exports during the part .four months, of about 16.000.000 bushels, against 52.000,000 last year. Meanwhile 11 Is tolerably certain that the Australian surplus next year will not reach the half of that In the past year, -which amounts to about 40,000.000 bushels; the fact that only about halt a dozen vessels have eo far been chartered for new crop loading against 50 or 60 vessels chartered by this date last year, Is a sufficient indication of this. With Tegard to the Argentine crop, which Is of paramount Interest in regard to the future course or prices, it s uuncuii io give any really reliable estimate. The one tiling clear is that the .history of the growth of this season is by bo means eo favorablas last year, which indicates, a smaller yJsld per acre oa the In creased acreage. This' Increase Is estimated officially -at 22 per rent, but very little reliance Is placed on this .preliminary official opinion, the. trade remembering that only last year an increase of 17 .per cent was similarly -estimated early in the season, whereas the result- showed a harvested area only 2 per cent greater than in the previous year. It is' believed, therefore, that 10 per cent will cover the increase this year, and thus makfi -the axes, about 10.205,000 acres, against 94170.000 last year. The yleio. per acre, according to one .author ity, is not likely to exceed .11 bushels against ISVz last year, so that & crop of US.- 000. 000 bushels Is regarded as the present In dication. Against 124,000.000 last year. Stocks of wheat In United .Kingdom ports hare increased 20 per cent during Septem ber, ,tha present total of wheat and flour .In all the ports being estimated at 2,700,000 quar ters." against "2.000,000 quarters last year, and 1. jrns.ftCO i 102. TLOUJt A strong loetl and a weak foreign 'situation is reported: There is so Oriental demand tax. current rates and -the situation Is further ' complicated by the. ,rr5x-'up in1- the . tr&ns-Pvaciflc freight ..situation 'caused by the chartering or, an inaepenaeat steamer io loaa here. Should -it result in the lowering of freights to the Asiatic coast, there would prob ably be a free movement bf'flour in spite cf the good stocks .that are known to be carried over there. ' The Eastern demand has also fallen off, as was to be expected when wheat prices began to decline. " locally prospects are good, as there is a etrons Inquiry, which en ables prices to be easily maintained. PRODUCE The most uttentlpn this week was naturally given to the turkey market- On the -whole it was a. 'success. Front-street deal ers succeeded In cleaning up their stocks and there was no slumn. Prices Wednesday were quoted around ,10 and 20 cestx. TbeBputhtrnV urcgon producers wno snippea u ban xraa clsco did not fare so well, and will probably favor this market at Christmas. Other poultry was also In good demand Vnd the mid-week business closed with the market tn excellent shape. .-.The same satisfactory 'report was made by frult and vegetable dealers, who transacted a 'heavy business j at satisfactory prices. e-eb quotations nave continued iairigBicuj,; at least for Oregons, though Eastern eggs have advanced. No actual change has taken place In the 'butter market, some creameries quoting It arm. .ethers weak. Oregon ist generally In pood supply.' California and Idaho butter is also cn the market, but East ern butter is scare. Dressed meats have improved in the last fsw days under the Thanksgiving demand. Were Needed at Portland.. ROSEBtTRG. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) About 190,000. pounds of fat dressed turkeys, being nearly lO.OOO'blrds, occupying seven. cars;were f hipped from Douglas County for the Thanks giving trade.' Most of them, went" to Saa Fran cisco. Oakland maintains the lead as the heaviest shipping point, having sent out about 110,000 pounds. The producers received an -average of 10 cents per Bound for live birds and 18 to 10 cents for dressed. The output at this time is valued at about 435,000, and other shipments will be made later to supply the holiday trade. Offers and Sales at Woodburn. WQODBURN. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) The reports of bears in Ithe bop market that prices are lower is without foundation. Eastern and foreign markets remain very firm with some purchases at prices ranging from 30H&31HC In view of the fact that over 200,000 bales of hops have been sold by growers In the United States during the last CO days, It is not sur prising that the present market is not of &a exciting character. Offers of SOHp for ordinary primes were made' In this c)ty yesterday and today -with the result that some small sales have been made Thirty-one and a quarter cents liave been offered and declined for choice hopa Less than 200 bales remain unsold in growers' hands In the 'vicinity of this city.

NEW YORK, Nor. 23. Prices of stocks we& considerably lower at ono time today than hey -were last night and then rather more than recovered the decline, with some promi nent instances of aggressive strength. The whole market turned largely on the money situ ation. The hardening loan rates and the pend ing Thanksgiving holiday prompted consider able HgEttmf&g of speculative loans. Another result was the decline in the amount of busi ness done Yesterday's flurry In the money market held its Influence this morning, on account of the firm tone shown both for call and time loans. There was practically no time money offer ing for any period for less than 4 per cent. The engagement of additional gold coin. $500,- 000. for shipment to Germany emphasized the influence of this showing. Money rates re laxed later. The presence of bills against the gold exports In the foreign exchange mar ket lowered the quotations in that market and eo obstructed the gold outgc Money did not get higher than 3& per cent and the large offerings at that figure caused trie Impression that important banking interests purposed to oppose the advance above that rate at present. The trust companies and J. P. Morgan &. Co. also announced the purchase at $20,000,000 of Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy bonds. Railroad stocks were n6t greatly affected by the selling, 'and, in fact, moved rather slug gishly all day. But a large number of low- grade industrials and specialties and some of the obscure railroads suffered materially. This is the' natural consequence of the rather heed less speculation in thwe securities which haa been a marked feature,' of the recent trading. Amalgamated Copper showed sympathy with the reaction in the. foreign copper market rather than with domestic copper stocks, which were higher. The great strength of Atchison was unexplained by any news announcement, but It proved an effective stay for the whole market. United States Steel preferred was also an . effective, sustaining factor and was helped by the report of large railroad buying of various products for equipment as well as by the Iron Age's cheering viow of the trade condition. The market closed below- the" best and barely steady. There was & confidlnt ab sorption of" United States b'teel sinking fund on a rising scale. The bond market today was 'slow. Total sales, par value. $3,500,000. United States bonds were "unchanged on call. --- CLOSING bTOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing nlL Hlirh. Low. hid.
