THE MOBNISG OREOONIAiv TH.URSDAY, JAOTARX "19, 1905. lb' TRADE 18 WAITING Inactivity Still Ruies in Hop Market BIG BREWERS YET TO BUY Nearly All Business Now Is Between Dealers Wheat Quiet, but Oats and Barley in Demand Pota toes and Onions Firmer. Aside from a number of transactions between dealers, there has been little doing in the hop market In the past -week. Traders on both sides pursue the same waiting attitude and do not look for much activity In the near future. Growers maintain a firm position and wait for better times, and consumers conUnue to hold off. The most encouraging feature of the sit uation ia the faot that the bis brewers of the East, firms of the Pabat, Schlitz and Anheuser Bufcch class, have yet to make their purchases of the lJXil crop. The town was full of out-of-town liopmnn yesterday. They were not at tracted by the market, but were here in at tendance on several bop cases in the. courts. There haa been no material change In the situation in other markets. Mall advices from Kcw York dated January 14 say: f "Business for the day was reported as quiet. 2o additional sales of Importance were re ported made in the prlmar markets, but after the sales of the past fow days growers were very indifferent sellers, and Inclined to hold Sor a higher basis of values. Locally the mar ket was firm and dealers in some instances continued to report brewers showing more In terest as buyers. Prices were quoted un changed." The English hop market was reported by the Kentish Observer of December 23 as follows: ".The Borough market was virtually closed on Tu-5day. business not being resumed until yesterday- Tho few inquiries reeelved point to a much hotter doniand in the near future. Prices in the meantime arc firmly maintained, and holders show little inclination to submit samples at the present level of values. "Manger & Henloy. of London, report: There has been very little chance of business in consequence of the denec fogs, which have been continuous the whole week the holidays also interfering. No alteration to report in prices, -which remain quotably unchanged." Advices from Nuremberg say: "Notwith standing the near holidays, tho dally transac tions are on about the same level as during the past week, and both quotations and tend ency are unchanged." The Department of Commerce reports No vember hop imports and exports as follows: Pounds. Importr. for November 86S.579 Imports for 11 months to Dec. 1 2,1)37.(20 Exports for November..-...- 7,251,755 Exports for 31 months to Dec 1 14,5ti7,'.H4 Export of Import for November.... 003 Exports of imports for 11 months to December 1 15.S53 WHEAT The -wheat market has shown but li'tlt activity in fhe pant week. Some trading has been done on Eastern and California ac count, but at a lower range of prices. Of ex p r; buitinexs there is none. The world's markets arc reviewed by the 1. 'iitfon correspondent of the Northwestern M Her of Januarj 11 as follows: Tho flrfrt reliable estimate the probable ol crop in Argentina has been received by ' able this week, and it estimate Uie prob able surplus Mt a maximum of 2,500,000 tons, or about 11.500.000 quarters of' wftc'at, com-ra-ed with an actual export 'ifjttre "'present jear of abeut 11,000,000 quarters. This, I think, disposes of all the rosy and exaggerated early estimates, nomc of which insisted that the yield would be 25 per cent larger than last year. Evidently the yield per acre Is quite below la-1 year's out-run. and it is only the In creased acreage which makes the total crop equal t last year's.

Tlie Australian crop, on -the other hand, in proving to be larger than expected: cables from Adelaide this week represent the crop in that portion of the confederation as even larger than !at year, viz.: 1.S20.000 quarters, agslnst 1.G4S.O00 last year, thus making .the probable total yield in Australasia 7,250.000 fl'iartrrs-. agairut fl.50o.O00 quarters last year. The export surplus, therefore, is about 2.750. 000 quarters, of which about 1.000,000 quarters w til be required by extra Kuroi?an ?oui.tne. The indications are tac, owing to the Ar gentina surplus coming into play, always sup posing that it Is as large as at prosent &ti n.aud the probable- weekly ni;."n-c s during t.ie next three months will be tuffic:-nt for all purposes with only IOQjOO quarters weekly Yom the United States and Cans-lo. ee!rs fit stocks are lar-ie enough ir the United Kingdom mid in moet ui.-r European cot-.ti-tries, witli the large quua ty afloat, to enublc the difTercMce between "he xiiecteal wwkly si :ment of 1.050.U00 .uit-eT and the aUuM requirements (otttlinated at 1. 150,000 quarter a week) to be made up with tolerable e.te.

The higher grades are In L.lr supply and move more slowly at the lately ad vanced figure, probably owing to th abund ance of cheaper grade of Oregon nd Cali fc ma butter on the market.

The volume of the stock market expanded again today, and some of the movements were excited and cessa.- tional. but the activity was congested ard the general movement cf prices was not much more benefited than yesterday. It was clear that effort was made to take advantage of the stimulating effect of the excited advances "to sell stocks in other quarters of the market. It might almo. be said of Reading that 500O shares was the normal unit of the transactions in it. so frequently was the apparance of 5000 share lets cn the tape. The total outstanding l;rue of Reading common stocks amount to 1.400,000 chares. It Is known that a large part of these have been taken out of tho mar ket and distributed to different railroad com panies to Insure the balasce of control of this property. But Reading has often given evi dence of the large reduction ot Its floating supply. The roovemeat In Ontario & Western and In the other coalers to a less degree was supposed to be sympathetic and was equally without explanation In the ncrrs of the day. The ac tion cf the conservative Illinois Central direct ors In declaring an extra, dividend on their stock went far to confirm the encouraging ef fect of other recent Increases In dividend dis bursements, as showing the confidence of rail-. road managers In the future prosperity of their properties. The announcement of the settlement of the Pali River strike was received with gratifica tion as serving to clear up the situation. In one of the few Industrial quarters which have lagged In the trade expansion. The absorp tion of two minor railroads which have been within Its sphere of Influence by tho New York Central gave come early strength to that stock. The whole list gave way. however, with some violence during the last hour, when the suspi cions engendered by the character of the day's trading had 'come to a head. The falling o3 of upward of $84,000,000 In the trado balance in our favor tor December, due both to in creased Imports and tho heavy decllno In ex ports, was not regarded as a cheerful showing. and gave promise ot the continued ability ot the world's outside markets to draw our-gold supply. The closing was quite strong, owing to a rally of considerable force In the final dealings, led by Baltimore & Ohio. Bonds were active and firm. Total sales. $0, 500,000.

From start to finish the wheat market exhibited much strength. At the opening May showed a gain of He to ic at S1.15H91.12;. The Initial strength was duo mainly to the comparative firmness of the Liverpool market. Just after the opening a feeling of hesitancy developed in selling brought out by Increased receipts In the North west. In these offerings May sold off to $1-154. A more careful analysis of conditions In the Northwest, however, revealed the fact that a large percentage of today's arrivals at Minneapolis was wheat bought from country elevators at last week's prices, and that there was little likelihood ot any material Increase in the movement from the farms. This ex planation relieved the bears of their principal ammunition, and started fair covering by many or the early sellers. Lack of offerings caused a quick advance In tho prices, and for the re mainder of the session the market held strong. Final quotation on May were at $1.160 i.iau- Smallness of receipts gave the corn market a strong start, and although trading was net of large volume, a firm undertone was mani fested throughout the day. May closed un changed at 45c. The volume of business In oats was very small, and tho strength of other grains held prices firm. May opened a shads higher, at 31Uc, closing at the same figures.
