THE IIORXIKG GREGORIAN, THURSDAY,, - JAJJABX 5, 1905, HEAT JN: DEMAND iproyement in Prices-in East I and at-San Francisco. ' ; LOUR OUTLOOK- IS' BETTER kcumptiop of -Large Orients Ex perts Expected Soon Feed Shows Strength-No Trading ImHop Country Produce Dull. An improved demand for wheat from the ist and California, and -a brighter outlook the flour market, as a result of the fall of rt Arthur, are the features In commercial xles tblx week. Country produce linos are nerally dull, and merchandise trade Is also ilet. The hop market Is still lifelcas. WHEAT Better prices and an awakening of ie demand for wheat are reported from the aet and California. Business with the lat t quarter, however, ia restricted by the re. nt advance in freight rates made by the oast SteamEhlp Companies. Shippers are mplalning loudly of the advance, as they Clare it save Puget Sound dealers the ad- ntage over them. There Is nothing doing an export war, and exporters do not believe lere will be a resumption of the movement cept In a small way, during the remainder i the season. At the came time. It Is worth iotlng that foreign prices have moved up lightly since the holidays. The foreign situation Is summarized by the xmdon correspondent of the .Northwestern tiller aa follows: Wheat operators on this side, while disposd o view the future prices with a certain mount of confidence, .are not risking much. aelng content to work down old stocks, which ire undoubtedly large, until some more rell ibb opinion can be formed of the Argentine prop now being harvested. This week's cables on the subject from Buenos Ayres have con tinued to be of a somewhat conflicting char acter, some insisting that serious damage has been done to the crops in Santa Fo and Cor loba, in which provinces half the total area under wheat is to be found, while others main tain that the crop Is likely to greatly exceed last years. One thing; however, la tolerably, jerfiln. vir. that the crop is late, and that onteo.uently the movement of new wheat in rge quantities may not commence until the middle of February, Instead of the middle of anuary, as was the caso last year. The trade has not taken very much notice Of the extraordinary largo official estimate of the Russian crop, which was issued toward the end of last week. The Fame authority (Central Statistical Bureau at St. Petersburg) which has Issued this present final estimate of the crop. Issued a preliminary account about two months ago. which indicated a fall ing- off in the wheat crop compared with last year of about 15 per cent. Now. however, the yield Is said to be Shi per cent sreater than laet year One has never been able to thor oughly understand these Russian official crop estimates; in former years they were entirely out of all ordinary reckoning wbfn judged by the actual exports which, of course, are known with sufficient exactness. During the past few years, however, these estimates have shown rather more coherence, as the following com parison shows in quarterns Crop. Exports. .... 75.6S5.O0O 16.500.000 76.4T0.OttO 17,500.000 ...4. 82,820.000 1M2-3 1B0.V4 .... 15KK.5 .... So far this -season, or since August 1. Rus sia, has exported about 10.000.000 quartern. agalnrt 7.650.000 quarters in the oorregpond- ng period jast season. If the above official crop figures are reliable, it would follow that rural can this season export about -4.000,000 quarters, against 17,500,000 quartern last xra- son, thus showing an Increase of about 7,000,- UOT quarters, Tnls may be said to compare with an estimated shortage In the American and Canadian export this season In relation to last season of about 10,000.000 quarters. With thin In view, and with the expectation that the Australasian surplus will be at least 2,000,000 quarters less than last year, and the Argentine surplus probably no larger than last year, wheat-holders are disposed to accept these Russian estimates with equanimity. FLOUR, FEED. ETC The fall of Port Ar thur has been followed by a number of new inquiries for flour from the Orient, but they have not yet developed Into business. It la not thought by millers that any real effect of the changed conditions on the other side will be felt for a week or two. There la certainly nothing In sight to justify the hope of cargo shipments within that period, but at the same time the outlook la naturally much brighter. Japanese and Hongkong speculators are known to have carried large stocks In anticipation of finding a market by the capture of Port Ar thur, and they will be the first to send sup plies Into Japan's newly acquired territory.. This movement will pavo the way for now trading with the Japanese and Chinese ports which must fill up their depleted stocks. The local flour trado continues moderately good, and prices are steadily maintained. Then is an urgent demand for mlllfeed of various kinds, which keeps prices strong The advance looked Sot has not yet materialized. Trade In oats, barley and hay Is dragging at former prices. HOPS There Is no hop market to npeak of. Seme dealers look for a revival of activity about the middle of this month, but others are not so sanguine that business will be resumed on a satisfactory scale before Spring. In the meantime holders are waiting firmly for bet ter prices, and show no Inclination to let go until they set them. There la no material change In the situation In the East or abroad. The Journal of Commerce of December 31 said of the New Tork market; "A firm market continued to be reported, and dealers were picking up the few low that oame on offer at the present basis of values. Advices received from up the state reported als about 150 bales at prices ranging from 2&c to 32c, according to quality. Coast advices reported a sale of about 100 bales of California hops at a price close to 27Hc It was learned that It was some trading between dealersln the. local market: a sale was reported of about ISO bales of medium to prime Coast hops at 30c" Advices from Nuremberg of December 10 fol low "Owing to heav) demand from Bohemia transactions of our market were rather consid erable during the last few weeks. Excepting oh some inferior grades, prloes are unchanged and on a high level. Stock Is extremely re duced and Is smaller than in other years at this time Sellers are. there fere, very firm." PRODL'CiS Very few lines of country produce have shown activity this week. Po tatoes are held at steady prices, with a mod era e local demand, but shipments to the Scuth arc light. Onions tore steadier than a week ago. but as yet with no Improvement la price Egg are coming In very freely and with dec'lnms prices, buyers naturally hold off. whl h adds to the weakness. The poultry market has been very satisfac tory Receipt cleaned up readily at advanc ing quotation, and more would have been sold had they been available. Butter on Front street Is quoted weak, but city creamery prices remain steady, and may be advanced if too weather turns cold. Tilla mook and Coos Bay brands are offering In large aupply. the fqrmer at 2714c. the latter at 25c. A well-known East Side firm has taken the agencr for the Coos Bay product. GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC. Another week has passed with no change In prices of staple groceries. The jsugar market is somewhat uncertain, with price-cutting going on at San Francisco and Eastern quotations advancing. Low-grade coffers are firm, with, an upward tendency. Rler Is dull Livestock prices advanced from 25c to 50c at the Portland Union Stockyards in the past week. There Is also a better tone to the dressed meat market, with supplies light arid" the desaaaa strong. JHbg prodacta are "nn- Ichanged.' : PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Hoar, Peed.

Stimulating Effect f -Northern -Securities Decision Loces Much -of Its Force. . NEW YORK, Jan. 4. There was a decided ahatemeKt ot speculative - Interest In stocks' and a resulting heavy irregular tone In the, day's dealings. To some Extent this was un doubtedly due to the fear that the advances of yesterday -were at too fast a pace for the health of the market. There was perceptible also a senslUveness to the constant fluctua tions in Copper, which continues to be re garded as a danger point by a large element among the operators since their experience of a few weeks ago. The thratenlng utterances from the same -source as at the time of the previous break Id the stock keeps alive this spirit of apprehension. The stimulating effect of the Northern Se curities decision had lost some - of Its force today, and Northern Securities on the curb, and alt the nocks related to it on the ex change, were reactionary. It Is taken for granted that plans are far advanced toward agreement, and there is remaining force In the consideration that the terms fixed for the redistribution of the properties In the merger will end the control secured by the Union Pacific of the old Northern Pacific thus In a measure relrgatlng conditions to the isame state as that existing before the colossal contort be tween the- giantfl pf the railway world In 1P01. There was an Inclination to depend more upon the expected January investment demand for securities. This proved to be of moderate proportions, and was met by offerings, on the part of dealcrx who had taken stocks In an ticipation of this demand. There were sus taining points In the market, however, which held price against any severe reaction- New York Central was notably strong, and reports were persistent that Union Pacific and Stand ard Oil Interests would tend to harmonise lw operation with other railroad properties. The money market here continued extreme ly eaay, but the rate of the gold outgo was of some sentimental Influence on the stock mar ket. In addition to the week's exports to France and South America. It was intimated that gold was likely to be shipped from San Francisco to Japan on account of deposits, at the New York Subtreasury. The only occa sion that can call for shipments Xo Japan at this tune would be on account of New York subscriptions to the Japanese loan. Railroad net earnlnga reported for Novem ber showed good Increases, an Important In stance being Union Pacific The reactionary tendency In the market, however, prevailed, and the close was "weak.

Have -Now With drawn From the Association. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4. The war among the wholesale sugar dealers continues. Today, two more members withdrew from the Pacific Traffic U Commerelil Association, which was formed to regulate the price of sugar. These firms' are F. B. Peterson tc Co. and J. H. Neubaner s Co. This makes eight large con cerns that have severed their rotations with the association up to date. The firms which have withdrawn aT selling sugar at c per pound less than the price quoted by the refineries to members ot the atsodatlon. This represents a heavy loss, but the independent dealers are confident that ulti mately they will succeed .In esUbUshlng'.aa open market for sugar. As yet the local re fineries hare not met the reduction which the position firms have brought about. The oth. firms that withdrew from the association are Haas Bros.. Tillman Ktnal. Susemsn. Wormsir & Co.. Lewis & Meyer, Wellman. Peck & Co.. and the William Cluff Company. As the Tesult of the withdrawal of there four firms. It is believed that the Pacific Traffic & Commercial Association will speedily go to pieces. It Is predicted that a landslide will now follow among the remaining members of. the combine, including many firms In Portland. S-.-attle. Los Angeles and other Coast cities. A member Df one of the Urge opposition firms said today that. In his opinion, the Job. bers of this Coast will never again Join a combine. Many thousands of dollars are being dally lott In selling sugar at c per pound be low cost price, ut big- houses who are fighting the combine believe It to be money well spent, and predict the speedy dissolution of the Pa cific Traffic & Commercial Association and the establishment of an open market for sugar, where everybody In the trade will be- on an equal footing. The independents today offered sugar at c "below the cash prices at which the Western Sugar Refinery is selling sugar to members of the Pacific Traffic tt Commercial Association, and it represents a part of the loss which firms wfio have withdrawn .from the combine are meetfjig in their tight to stop underselling by combine members and to establish an'-open market for refined sugar It was "teamed to day that every time a member of the combine is found selling sugar below the combine's price he la fined $500. Either members of the combine must cease to se'll sugar or elue the combine must meet the cut of the Independents. LIVESTOCK "MARKET. .Trices and Receipts, at Kansas Cify, Omaha and Chicago.
