THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 190?. 13 CROP REPORTS VARY Argentina Conditions Influence Wheat Market, WEATHER SAID TO BE BAD Leading Factor In Steadying Prices at Liverpool, Despite Heavy Ship ments From Russia No De mand for Flour. Trading In wheat is almost at a standstill. Deslers are buying' very cparlngly, devoting most of their time to making deliveries on past orders. Eastern business has been checked, not only by the slow movement pro Aided by the railroads, but alo by the grad ual decline in Chicago prices. Export trading Is also dull as the foreign markets, while they have advanced somewhat, have not yet reached that point that will make shipping from this Coast profitable, in view of the stiff freight rates asked by shipowners. The decline In the Chicago pit has been due principally to the easy position of the cash market, caused by heay receipts and the un willingness of millers to take hold. Advices from Argentina have, therefore, been nearly Ignored, notwithstanding they have been the leading factor in steadying the Liverpool mar ket Report from the South American coun try hav been more or less contradicting, but the undercurrent of all has been a feeling of apprehension over the crop outlook. Dullness fcatinues to mark the English trade under the IsOuence of very large supplies and continued CBarmiMUt uhlnmonla f mm nncclo natural London, correspondent of the Northwestern Mil ler "writes: The large quantity afloat for Europe at the dose of last season (July 31). and the liberal clocks In the port, together with the big Rus sian ishlproent. have, to a large extent, coun teracted the effects of the abnormal scarcity of American wheat and tf.our. And there Is m. growing feeling that, with another large Argentine crop and continual large supplies from India Europe may continue for some months to Ignore American price conditions. Personally, I feel that the extraordinary con ditions of the season do not lend thomselves -to a lower level of prices In Europe than we have cow arrived at and I believe that the last half of the season will prove what fhave all along maintained, namely, that It will not be easy to obtain all the wheat necessary for the re quirements of the importing countries In the absence of American wheat. Today cables from the Argentine Republic report heavy rains,' which, of course, arc pre judicial to the crop now within a few weeks ef harvest. Shipper! are, however, prepared to take present spot values for shipment next February -March. For Australian wheat for distant arrival the premium has also quite disappeared. The price f new crop January-February shipment is now S3 3d per c. L f. A month ago 35s uas quot ed Today's cables from Adelaide announce that wheat cutting may begin next week, and that the prospect Is for only half of last year's surplus of 1.000.000 tons. The European visible supply is now the largest since 1805, but the American and Can adian quantity is far below the average for the time of year.

It comes to the conclusion that America must now practically cease to be an exporter on any Important reale. and may eoon become an Importer of wheat because It will not pay to use fertilizers to any extent. It eeems to forget that next year crop may quite possibly equal that of 3901, via., 750.000.000 bushels, in which case America, would again resume the role of chief provider of wheat for Europe. The Bulletin des Halles, the most reliable French agricultural paper, makes the follow ing estimate of the world's production of wheat In 1004: 1003. Grand division. Bushels.

The crops of Asia and Africa, on the other hand, have In creased by 56,182,500 and 2,837,500 bushels re spectively. The crop In France shows a shortage of C2.425.000 bushels. FLOUR The past week has been the dullest In the flour market since the 6eason opened. The Eastern demand, which has of late been the great thing, has fallen off. at least, the Eastern buyers have declined to pay prices lately considered satisfactory. The Oriental demand Is likewise quiet, though there was rather more inquiry in the past week than of late. The transportation problem is now the principal factor in this business. .The differ ence between the views of millers on this side and buyers across the water cannot be easily adjusted in the face of the 35 rate of tho reg ular trans-Faclflc lines, and the successful conclusion of business depends on concessions by one of the three parties. It is the hope of the milling interests that some way can be found to secure lower freights, and as they are loath to bring In independent carriers to bring about this result, they would like to see the steamship companies make the con cession. It is said that the continuance of the forward movement in the present condition of the market depends entirely on the freight tariff, and If this Is not lowered, the millers will be obliged to charter steamers on their cwn account, or do no business with the Orien tal HOPS The deadlock In the hop market is unbroken. Easterners and foreigners are out cf the market, and local speculators will not buy unless at materially reduced prices. Growers either ask what they did two weeks ago or shade prices to too small an extent to cause sales. Opinion is divided as to the fu ture of the. market. Few look for much .Im provement until after New Tears. The East ern situation Is thus reported by the New York Journal of Commerce of November 28: Business continued quiet. Both dealers and exporters continue buelly engaged in taking care of deliveries on old purchases, and, there fare, are giving little attention to the market for the present as buyers. Advices received fom both i up the state and the Coast report cn:y small remaining stocks in growers' hands to be marketed, and as it Is confidently be lieved that all available supplies will be need ed this season to supply the demand, there was no attempt made to hurry sales, and prices were firmly maintained. Foreign advices re ported firm, but quiet markets. The Kentish Observer of November 10. said of the fciiuatlon abroad: Trade Is slower, and In consequence of pres sure on the part of some of the large East Kent growers prices are not so firm; Indeed, revcral big growths have been sold at a con siderable reduction. Quotations are merely nominal, ranging from 0 10s to 10 for choice descriptions, and 8 30s to 9 10s for secondary qualities, with Weald of Kent and Sussex growths at iS to fO per cwt. Wild. Neame & Co.. hop factors, London, re port: Business has-been rather quiet during the week, some few lots have been pressed for sale at a slight reduction In values. V. H. & H. LeMay, hop factors, London, report: Mid and East Kent Go ding hops are the feature of the trade now: they are the best value at current rates of any hops that are left, and consumers are realizing this. Good Fuggles. suitable for copper purposes, are al most exhausted. American markets continue to advance, and continental are firm. J. H. Meredith, "Worcester, reports: There is no material alteration in the state of this market, and although some fair sized lots have changed hands, the general trade Is quiet. There are very few samples on offer, and hold ers of the remaining portion of the crop pro fess to be confident that higher prices will be obtained eventually. " Only 152 pockets paesed the public scales last week, making 7219 pock ets welched to date. Advices from Nuremberg-Saax, dated Novem ber 4, say: Since my last report of Septem ber 26, prices have gone up all around 20-30 inks per 50 kilos. This movement Is due to the fact that England's crop was shorter than expected: It Is estimated that more than 50.000 bales have been bought for England and the .United States account within the last four weeks. Prices, therefore, gradually advanced steadily. At the present moment, as the prin cipal buying is effected, a rather quiet tone Is prevailing on the market, but prices are Arm and very high-rated. Our Bavarian and Bo hemian producing points are sold out. PRODUCE There Is again & lull In the po tato" trade, owing to heavier receipts, slow local demand and no shipping movement. Growers and shippers still differ as to the fu ture of tho market, the former naturally look ing for higher prices, the latter holding out no encouragement. The onion market Is in much better shape, and there is a fair movement to California. Apples and other fruits are in large supply and Inclined to weakness. ' Garden vegetables of nearly all kinds are plentiful and hold to steady rates. Since Thanksgiving there has been no life to the poultry market. Fortunately, receipts have not been heavy and prices should be in good shape when the demand revives. Oregon eggs are. If anything, scarcer than a week ago. and candled stock readily brings S2 cents. Eastern are plentiful again, and are quoted steady. Tho butter market has taken a turn for the worse. Local creamery supplies are said to be light, and not much Is coming in from near by outside points, but Coast butter Is plenti ful and underselling local brands, and now California has begun to ship freely. The Indi cations point to a decline, but it may be averted. New cheese Is strong. GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC Another week has passed with no change in the staple gro cery list. Sugar is unchanged In price and slow. In the East and abroad there have been advances as the result of decreased estimates of the European crop. Llcht has further reduced his estimate of the beet crop in Eu rope by 170,000 tons, which brings his esti mated deficiency in European and American supplies up nearly 1.200,000 tons. Lower grades of coffee continue firm. Tea is 6teady and rice firm and unchanged. Livestock receipts were moderately good in the past week, and prices, as a rule, were steady. There has been a fair demand for good veal and hogs, but Front-treet dealers complain of too many poor ones sent In. PORTLAND MARKETS. Groin. Flour, Feed, Etc "WHEAT Export values.

NEW YORK, Nov. SO. The stock market continued Irregularly strong today on s some what diminished volume cf business. The pres sure to take profits was counterbalanced by only a few strong points In the market In the early morning, but lata In the day the Inroads made on the price level were repaired and new points In the list were pushed upward. It was evident that the large and powerful spec ulative Interests which have been leading the trading were still active In the market, and were diligently conducting the leadership from one stock or group of stocks to another. The successful tactics of rotation of buying orders from one point to another while selling Is pur sued In the stocks from which the buying is turned away were very palpable In the morn ing. News affecting property values received little attention, but there were plenty of ru mors of changes projected In property rela tions and of future plans of stock market oper ations by this or that party of traders. With a shift is the speculation to the West ern and Pacific Railroad stocks, the market broadened and the strength became more gen eral. Tho TTida advance in securities on the curb preceded the movement in the Pacifies, and every stock which has been connected at any time with the gossip concerning the sup posed Northern Securities settlement respond ed. There was a large list of sharp gains In a varied collection of specialties and indus trials, which had been a prominent feature of each day's market recently, and a number of high grade investment stocks made marked re sponse to the demand xor absorption. The heaviness of the early market was due largely to the disquietude caused by the liqui dation in the United States Steel stocks. This gave credence to the supposition that the re cent support of these stocks has been the cause of helping the distribution of the sink ing fund bonds, which has been evidently go ing on, and which It is rumored is a forerun ner of the conversion of an additional $50,000, 000 of preferred Into these bonds. Stock ac cumulated in this way for supporting purposes is expected to return to the market after the object is accomplished. The Steel stocks ral lied strongly, however, and the common touched a new high record on the movement. "Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. $8,765,000.

Apparently the influ ence In affecting this change was a radical let-up In the movement of the wheat crop. Both Northwest and Southwest points report ed a curtailment of receipts. Figures In the Southwest were very suggestive of the al leged low ebb to which farmers' stocks have been reduced. Another factor of almost equal Importance was the situation In Argentina, where wheat harvesters are hard at work. Special cablegrams today stated that wet weatherhas threatened serious damage to the crop in the northern portion of that country. After the first hour of business, the market here was very dull, and with an increased demand for both May and December, options udvanced about c Toward the middle of the session a reaction occurred on moderate profit-taking in Decem ber. As a result, the price of that delivery dropped to $1.06. May showed only a slight loss. During the last hour there was active buying of May by the leader of the bull crowd. At the same time December shorts cevsred quite freely. The improved demand caused a sharp recovery. December advancing to $1.08 and May $1.091.09. The market closed strong, with December at $1.07. December corn opened c to c lower, at 48c to 48c; sold up to 48c, and closed at 48c May ranged between 4545ic and closed at the top point.
