BUSINESS SLOW MOST LINES
Some Selling of Hops at Concessions

Asked for Flour-Firmer Tone
in the Butter Market.
Trade in nearly aH lines has been slow in
the past -week. This was to ibc expected in
the crocery and merchandize business at this
wason. as the Spring trade has not yet opened
up. In lines of country produce, unfavorable
weather, and In borne instances high prices
have cheated the demand. Wheat trading has
been on & email scale, and in the export flour
trade little was done. Heps have sold more
freely, but at concessions in prices.
AVHEAT Only a small portion of last year's
wheat crop remains in the hands of growers.
and they do not appear to be in a hurry to
mil. 'Dealers are also slow to buy. except
on the few orders they have from the East
and California. Notwithstanding the dragging
trade, prices are on a Arm basis.
Foreign market conditions are reported "by
the London correspondent. of the Northwestern
M!tler of January IS as follows:
The strongest point in the present position Is
the decided falling off of the Russian hlp-
Tnents. This country has supplied nearly 50
pr cent of -the total quantity shipped to Eu
rope since August 1, and 1f there ehould be
a permanent falling off In the movement, not
even the promised abundance from India could
keep prices down, for the wants of Europe are
enormous, and American wheat and flour will
not evidently be available for another six or
seven months.
The world's visible supply on January
compares as follows, with previous periods.
the noteworthy features being the large stocks
in English ports, viz: 3.000.000 quarters, as
compared with an averago of 2.000,000 quar
ters at thin date during the previous ten years;
tne comparatively moderate Russian port-
stocks' and the relatively email American and
Canadian visible supply: the last named. In
fact. Is 60 per cent smaller than the highest
total on record, which was In 1893, and only
1.000,000 quarters greater than in 1890. when
the total was the smallest on recent record.

The total of wheat and flour cemn out at

great reduction In tho flour import, which it
Is calculated has necessitated an Increased
production on the part of the homo millera of
about 2.000,000 fear I,, compared with 1903.

FLOUR. FEED. ETC There Is no Oriental
demand for flour at the present prices quoted
by dealers on this Coast. The Asiatics arc
cither consuming other kinds of food, or are
buying tholr flour from Australia cheaper than
they can get It for on this Coast. This flitua
tlon has not weakened prices here, however.
as there is still inquiry from the Bast, and
millers have not scon fit in the face of it to
lower their quotations. This they probably
could not do with profit, in view of the height
at which wheat values arc maintained by the
Eastern demand tor cereal.
Mlllfeed Is strongly held, although the de
wand is purely of a local character. Stocks
on hand are not large, as the mills are grind
ing dui nine nour. uats ana barley are
rather quiet, but are steady In price. Hay is
mevlng slowly. The indications now are that
the Government order for both hay and barley
will not be placed here.
HOPS- There has been considerable activity
In hops in the pest wt?ek, sales aggregatln
about 220 bales. The price paid was in tho
neighborhood of 27 cents. It Is this constant
unloading by small growers without a doubt
vat is holding the market down. But little
change is reported from other markets. The
New York Journal of Commerce of January
said
The reports received from the Coast con
t'cued to report quiet markets, but there were
few hops being proved for pale, and prices
were quoted unchangod and Meadv. Up-stale
an reporter ngni eaering. sellers cen
c-al'v being indifferent, and prices were quoted
j.-"hang-d. The local Market was reported
;-,- and featureless.
T'ItODr"E Potatoes are steady, with a good
.r al and a ralr efeipping demand. The San
X'-anrlsco market is eapected to adv&ncc owing
f the nooarrlval of the Elder's cargo. An in

The onion market is Arm. but without much

Rrc'pts have been large, and the local demand
smalt, but shipping orders have prevented an
accumulation. Arrivals of eggs have been
lighter, as there have been numerous ship
.treats from tne Valley direct to the .Sound, but
friers here have not fluctuated, as buyers hav
been slow ta take hold. More firmness is
rhonn in the buttfr market. Receiits are

GROCERIES. MEATS. "ETC Beyond an ad
vance in local salt quotations,, do changes

rise in the price of fcs.lt. and dealers are equal
ly positive that sugar will also go higher.
Large receipt at the Portland Livestock
yards and a quiet demand has had a weaken-
eSect on values. Dressed meats of all
kinds, however, continue firm at last week'
prices. Hoe products are unchanged.

DUETO RUSSIAN OUTLOOK
WEAKNESS jOJF STOCKSlN NEW
' YORK MARKET:
Upward Tendency at the Opening is
Checked by Important Speculative
Liquidation Later in the Day.
NEW TORK, Jan. 25. The weakness of
docks, which became more pronounced today.
-was doubtless attributable to the uncertain
outlook in Russia, but the effect was not pro
duced directly through the usual channels. In
fact, London bought hero during the early
part of the day almost as freely as . It sold
on Monday. The tone of the foreign markets
generally also reflected a relaxation, of the
acute anxiety over the situation in Russia,
and the point of view adopted waa indicated,
by tho circulation of a rumor that advances
were making toward mediation between Russia
and Japan, as a consequence of the embarrass
ments of the Russian government at home.
This foreign influence and the demand to cover
shorts from the late sellers of yesterday rave
the upward impulse to prices at the opening.
With the better basis of price afforded by
the opening advance today there was some
important speculative liquidation. This was
believed to come largely from "Western sources
and from the great steel centers on the part
of the operators, who were responsible for tho
large transactions of last week on the long
tide of the market. While no positively un
favorable news became known to account for
the speculative liquidation, it waa thooght
probable that it had been decided by those
who had entered on the speculation that no
considerable public interest opuld be expected
in the market while affairs in Russia con
tinued In fo uncertain a state. With prospects
poor for an advance in prices It seemed to ba
considered the part of wisdom to lighten noia
incs.
The very heavy demands reached by the gold
export movement today was a chilling Influence
on speculative sentiment. It Is evident that
Paris regards its large holdings of Russian
securities as requiring the fortifying of ita
cold reserve to an Important extent. Tne au
nute amomr the railroads over the export grain
rates as between the Atlantic and the Gulf
perls came in for some conslderaUon and fa
vorable action by a Congressional committee
upon a proposed Investlgotlon of the Unltea
States Steel Corporation weighed upon Its se
curities. The gold outgo caused a firmer tone
for time loans, but, the premium on New Tork
Exchange at Chicago rose sharply. Indicating
an available source for still further repienun
intr the local money supply.
The demand to cover from the day's short
aeiiom was sufficient to effect a material rany
and the closing was Arm at recoveries from the
extreme declines.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par valu,
$5,165,000. United States bonds wero un
changed on call.

firmness that pervaded the market had a more
substantial basis in buying by commission
houses. The purchases were generally guaged
to apply against sales made by a leading short
lntertiu In all it Is said that over 1.000.000
bushels of May wheat were covered for this
account. Except for a momentary wavering
at the start, when offerings of long lines at
the advance caused the May option to ease off
to $1.1561.354. decidedly more than merely
adequate support was afforded the market by
shorts, who hastened to follow the example of
the larger Interests. May advanced to $1.15
ei 15U. and closed firm at $1,154.
Corn was firm, but trade was dull. May
started a shade higher at 444c and closed
firm at 454e-i54c
Oats were steady, though dull. May closed
46 4c up at 30Tr31c .

Growers Take Advantage of
Good Prices Offered.
LA GRANDS, Or., Jan. 25. (Special )
Nearly every pound of Wallowa County wool
has been contracted In advance by the Kosh
land" Company, at 16 cents per pound. There
are over 200,000 head of aheep tn the county,
which will shear from S to 8 pounds of wool
which will clear from S to 84 pound. of wool
d snipped out. The reason given for the ad-
ance contracting by Wallowa County wool-
men la that the county la Isolated from the
railroads and market centers, and that, if
half the woolgrowers sell In advance, the re-
raainaer or the clip would not be sufficient
inducement for buyers to go Into the Valley
next Spring. Therefore, when Jour or five of
w ueaviesi proaucers sola in advance, the
other sheepmen took advantage of the good
prlcs offered to get rid of their clip.
Wallowa sheep are in excellent condition this
Winter. Mttle hay having been ed yeL
Many of the sheepmen own ranges on the
Snake River, where their sheep are running

man hops sold In New Tork City this week
tor 1 2 cents per pound.
Under mail advices of Januarv 17. tM firm
has this to say as to present conditions of the
nop market:
"Our local market has become more active
on eccount of unavoidable purchases, but brew-
ers nave been holding off in the expectation
01 a oreaK mmewnere. We do not . h
faintest reason for such an expectation, ex
cept in the .frantic statements of some big
shorts who have gotten themselves In a de-sp
hole by making extensive short sales. Large
holders and growers on the Pacific Coast have
a cinch on the market. It thev stand flrmlv
tcgetner tor higher prices, which. In our Judg
ment is the certain outcome of present condi
tions. England's shortage for 1004 Is 86.323
Dales under the production of 19CS. and la
22S.391 bales less than her crop of 1901. or
mucn less than one-half the production three
years ago."
No doubt whatever now exists- among those
tuny informed as to the elements of nrodue
tlcn and consumption that the actual short
age pow existing in the United States Is very
nearly, u not quiet. 40.000 bales, a condition
of the market never before known la the his
tory of the hop market. That the price of
nops win advance with rapid strides later on
In the season seems unquestioned."
Offers of IS cents for 1906 hops are being
made at Woodburn. without result. It U not
believed that any contracts can be closed for
less than 20 cents, with growers Indifferent as
to doing business at the latter figure. Holders
of nops here are very firm.
