INQUIRY FOR WHEAT
Better Demand From the East
, and California.
QUOTATIONS HAVE ADVANCED
No Flour Business With the Orient
Hop-Buyers and Sellers Waiting
for Developments Farm
Produce Active.
There is a better Inquiry from the East and
California for Northwestern wheat, but the
demand for other cereals has fallen off. The
flour market Is particularly dull. In the hop
trade, both buyers and sellers are apart.
Business ha been good In all lines of country
produce with a general hardening of prices.
Potatoes and onions are'lslowcr. There have
been no important changes In the grocery list
in the past -week.
WHEAT Prices In the wheat market are
qjoted about one cent higher this week. In
sympathy with the strength shown in the
East and at San Franvlsco. There Is e6nsld
erable Inquiry from both sections which prom
ises a good movement. Nothing seems possible
In the way of export business, owing to the
p-arcity of low-priced ships. Only a compara
tively small portion of the crop remains in
farmers' hands and the holders, as a rule,
rare indifferent sellers. Conditions in Europe
a'c reported by the London correspondent of
the Northwestern Miller of January 23 as
follows:
There has been a decided increase of firm
ness in the wheat market this week, although
it Is unattended by much activity in the de
mand. Russia is shipping much more moder
ately and as stocks In Rurslan ports are 33
prr cont lr.w than at this time last year it
probRblc that until the reopening of Azof
r.a igatlon in the Spring, we may not find
Jhc average weekly shipments from that coun
try cquRl thoso of last year from January 1.
iz: nDout swt.WO quarter.
Another feature which has tended to check
any further downward -movement is the receipt
f confirmatory reports from the Argentine
Itepubllc that the crops or Santa Fe and
Cordoba hav been sadly damaged both in
quality and quantity: as a matter of fact, the
bulk of the prfent offera of Rcsario (Santa
Fe) whrt for shipment now being made,
have a guarantee of only about 61 pounds per
bushel, whereas at this time last year 03 to
CI pounds per bushel wheat from these dis
tricts w paramount. v
This fact is quite important, as the Santa
Fc and Cordoba provinces last year had 0,000.
000 acres, out of the total of P.270.000 acres,
under wheat. Rd although the provinces of
TiUenos Ayrea and Entre Rlos send us very
glowing reports of the cror. the increase in
those districts compared with Inst year Is not
likely to compensate for the deficiency cl.c
w here.
Another point Is. that owing -to tho lateness
cf the harvest and the bad wather in Santa
Fo during harvest operations the new wheat
is slow In coming forward to the seaboard, so
that shipments on any Important scale arc not
expected until next month, whereas last year
the export movement was already large by
the middle of January. I'nder thene clrcum
stances, buyers arc willing to pay plxpenee
more for January shipments of La Plata
wheat than for later ones.
The recent depressing element In the trade.
as I pointed out a fortnight ago. was the
very favorable official account of the Indian
rop which Is regarded as likely even to equal
last year' abnormally Inrge yMd. which In
Its turn was about 14.OOU.000 quarters or near
ly ,0 per cent above tli previous average.
The conFoquence was that boar operators sold
rrw crop, No. 2 Calcutta, whleh. was worth
T,tm Cd on the spot InlLondon. down to 20s 6d
for April-May and May-June shipment.
Greatly reduced shipments and a reduction
last week of 440.000 quarters In the quantity
Rfloat for Europe, however, tended to alarm
these bears and the present prlc 1s 30s per
quarter. There is. 1 think, a disposition to
Xorgct the extraordinary charactnr of the ea'
on, and to rely upon India and Russia per
forming with ea?r the task of making up for
America's shortcomings In the matter of wheat
exports.
Nothing is more probable"1n my opinion than
tmt Russia, Argentine and Australasia will
between them nhip only about COO.flOO quarters
a week during the next threw months, and It
Is now tolerably certain that Eurotvan im
porting countries wlil require at least 1.100,000
quarters a week (thiy have Imported In tho
past five months about 1.100,000 quarters a
wek). It will be seen that the remainder.
fo0.000 quarters a wek. la a larger amount for
India America and Canada to make good.
A rapid reduction In our storks during the
next three months seems. In fact, inevitable.
and those who sell In blank during the re
mainder of this season will do so, I think,
with more than ordinary rlk.
FLOUR. FEED. ETC. Stagnation continues
to rulf In the flour market, so far aa export
burlness Is concerned. ' It was thought the
Orientals would be In the market before this.
but price are still an obstacle to trading. The
local movement Is fair. -Mlllfccd of all kinds
romajns strong, but is no"hlgher in price. The
barley market is firmer In sympathy with the
advance at San Francisco, but there Is not
much activity hercln spite of reports of
strong Inquiry. Oats arc- also qulot and
Fteady. No change Is reported In the hay
market. Local stocks are heavy.
HOPS Both buyers and sellers of hops are
waiting for something to turn up. Very few
transaction wore reported In the past week
Dealers who have made offers to tho East at
current rates have had no response to their
telegrams.
The New York market is thus reported by
the Journal of Commerce of January 8:
Thero were reports, to tho effect that some
dealers in the local market were showing
rather more of a desire to wll. they being
anxious. It was understood, to turn some of
their holdings of hops Into cash. Buyers,
however. w6rc indifferent and to have, moved
supplies lower prices would have had to be
accepted. Advices from the Coast reported"
steady markets, with prices ranging from 27
to SO cents, and the reports from up the state
reported prices holding steady at 30-32 cents.
j'.xportH for the week from -the port of New
JorK were. e0 bales. Exports frem Phila
delphla from September to January 1 Tvere
Dates, ana from Boston for the same
lerlod JS5 bales, making the total export
movement to aate irom the three ports. New
j. urn. x-jinnaeipnia. ana uoston 03.201 bales.
Tho Kentish Observer of January 12 said
of the foreign situation:
The. demand for English hops continues
quiet, and runs mostly on Mid Kent and
Sussex hops at prices which growers would
not nac loosed at' a month or two since
a tew growtns nave changed hands rprntu-
at from 8 10s to 8 15s per civt.. air round.
Holders of East Kents decline to accept less
than 10 per cwt.. but there are no offers at
that price at present. Consumers have been
buying foreign hops in large quantities, thus
lioplng to wear out the patience of the home
producer.
Wild, Neame & Co., hop factors, London,
report: There Is no alteration to report in the
Ftate of our market. Business continues quiet
and values unaltered.
Manger i Henley. London, report: A steady
inquiry continues for the cheaper grades of
useful copper hops, and a fair business has
been done during the past week. Values favor
buyers where sales are pressed, but remain
quotably unchanged.
W. H. and H. Le May, hop factors, Lon
don, report: Tho .demand is of a retail char
acter, but Just sufficient to take any hops
that arc offered a littlo below nominal rates.
The trade for "Wore esters has not increased
much In volume Elnee the holidays, and only
four pockets of growers' hops have passed the
public scales here last week. Values remain
without alteration. Up to December 31 7509
pockets of new hops were weighed at the
public market, compared with 14.571 In 1003,
and probably less than 3000 pockets of 1004
growth now remain unsold In planters' hands.
Albert Holler, hop merchant. Prague, writes
as follows: Since the new year there is a
good inquiry on the Bohemian and German hop
markets for all sorts of 1004. hops and prices
are quoted very Arm, wlth.xatfier an improv
ing tendency.
PRODUCE The market for farm products-
has been in better shape this week. Poultry,
eggs and butter have generally been in good
request. Receipts of chickens have been
lighter and, therefore, prices were maintained
without much difficulty. The colder weather
and a falling off in egg receipts have forced
prices upward. Butter hi quoted Arm, but as
the Ban Francisco market Is easier. It is
feared that If shipments arc brought from
there it will have a weakening effect locally.
There has also been a better demand for
dressed meats, which has kept the market in
strong tone. Receipts of livestock have been
fairly large and prices have ruled steady.
Potatoes are slower, both here and at San
Francisco, while local receipts have been ade
quate. The onion market Is steady with a
good undertone.
Apples are arriving more freely, but the
trade, as in all kinds of fruits, has been
checked by the cold weather.

OUTWARD FLOW OF GOLD
NOMINAL OCCASION FOR SELLING
OF STOCKS AT NEW YORK.
Large Exports Were Expected This
Week Offerings Proved Heavier '
Than Could Be Absorbed.
NEW TORK, Feb. 1. The heavy engage
ments of gold for export to Paris tomorrow
were made the nominal occasion for selling
of stockd today, but the taking of proflts on
yesterday's feverish and volatile advices was
an obvious motive in many parts of the list.
The weakness of theso stocks was offset by
strong advances at other points, according to
the usual methods of supporting this market to
facilitate the taking of proflts by profes
sional operators But the not very striking
advance In such stocks aa Reading and Mis
souri Pacific among the usual favorites, vcn
supplemented as it was by the rise in a long
list of specialties, proved a poor substitute as
a stimulating factor for yesterday's motive in
the Vanderbllts. The mass offered to the
market for digestion proved under these cir
cumstances somewhat heavier than could be
comfortably absorbed and the prevailing tone
was heavy
Large exports of gold were expected this
week and the prospect has occasioned little
concern. The Insatiable demand of the Tarla
market for gold Is the more notable In view
of the rapid recuperation of London s supply,
that capital having received J5. 000.000 from
Egypt and the largest single consignment ever
received from Cape Town within the past
week. Yet the principal demand from Paris
continues to be diverted upon New York.
Quite a factor in the stock market was the
action of ihe Vanderbllt shares and of the
attention given the recent rumors regarding a
Wholesale consolidation of that group with the
great Harrlman properties. Yesterday's ac
tion towards the concentration of operating
control In the Vanderbllt group and tho
known extension "of Rockefeller holdings In
New York Central, "while of admitted Impor
tance in the standing of these securities, was
not felt to be sufficient to explain the violent
movements In tho group. The rise of 25 points
yesterday In Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha, which was partly lost before yester
day's closing, wasN completely yielded at one
time today on transactions as small as those
of yesterday. Its parent stock. Northwestern.
and New York Central were also subject to
the pressure to gt-t out of the" high level ofJ
prices.
There was no difference of opinion as to tho
favorable showing of the quarterly report of
the United States Steel Corporation, but its
ecurities were also subjected to a natural
process of realising, with the good news all
public Tee strength of th local tractions
seemed to be associated with a threat of a
strike by Subway employes. The halting and
irregular tone of tho market continued
throughout.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales. $5.05,000.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

ARE LARGEST ON RECORD
EXPORTS OF DOMESTIC MANU
FACTURES IN 1904.
For Firet Time Exceed Five Hundred
Million Dollars in Value Iron
and Steel Head List.
PORTLAND. Or.. Feb. 1. Exports of
domestic manufactures from the United
States In 1004 exceeded for the first time
-$300,000,000, against $121,000,000 In 1003.
and $441,000,000 in the earlier high-record
year, 10QO. Comparing 1004 with still earlier
periods. It may be .said that the exports of
manufactures were In 1S94. ten years earlier,
hut $177,000,000; In 1884, $136,000,000; In
1S74. $02,000,000; In 1S64. $40,000,000, and
in 1834. $28,000,000. These figures relate to
calendar years except those of 1SS4 and
earlier dates, which are those of fiscal
years. -The chief growth In the exports of
manufactures. It will be seen, has oc
curred during the past decade, the growth
during that period being $325000,000, ag&lnst
$41,000,000 in the decade 1SS4-1S94. $44.
O00.O00 in the decade 1874-1884. $52,000,000 in
the decade 1864-1S74. and $12,000,000 in
the decade 1S54-1S64. .Thus the increase in
the exports of manufactures, decade by de
cade, from 1854 to tho present time has
been as follows:
Decade. Amount-IDecade. Amount.

1S74-S4 .. 4 1.000.0001
Considering the last decade, in which the
Increase was six times as great as In any
preceding decade. It may be further said
that the growth in the closing year, 1904.
was greater than that of any other year
of the decade, as will be shown by the
following table, which gives tho total value
of manufactures exported from the. United
States In each year from 1834 to 1001:

This Increase of $81,000,000. tho largest
Increase shown In exports of manufactures
in any calendar year In our export record,
occurs chiefly In Iron and steel, copper, re
fined mineral olts and cotton. Comparing
1004 with 1503. the Increase in Iron and
steel is $20,300,000; in copper, $31,000,000;
In mineral oil. $8,000,000; and In cotton
manufactures. $6,500,000. A statement print
ed herewith gives the total value of the
ten principal articles or groups of articles.
classified as manufactures in the export
statements prepared by the Department of
Commerce and Labor through Its Bureau of
Statistics. .These ten articles or groups of
articles, considered in their relative magni
tude, are Iron and steel manufacture!.
per manufactures, refined mineral oils,
leather and manufactures thereof, cotton
manufactures, agricultural Implements,
chemicals, and cars and carriages.
Considering Iron and steel, the largest of
these groups of manufactured articles and
the most Important because of the fact
that it represents in a higher degree the
finished product than is the case with cer
tain other of th articles classified as man
ufactures. It may be said that the. figures
of.lOOh $123,553,013. are more than four
times as great as those of a decade earlier,
the total value of Iron and steel manufac
tures exported In 1804 being but $20,043,720.
while the total value of Iron and steel manu
factures exported since 1900 exceeds $1,000.

SLUMP IN WHEAT.
Declines In Northwest Affect Chicago
Market.
CHICAGO, Feb! 1. The slump in the wheat
market occurred late in the day. The opening
wan steady., with May a shade lower to a
hhado higher at $l.lG!i01.17. Increased re
ceipts in the Northwest had a tendency to
create bearish sentiment at the start, but news
from the Southwest was sufficiently bullish
to prevent any great amount of selling. Ar
rivals at Kansas City and St. Louis today
were only 44.000 bushels, compared with 255,
000 bushels a year ago. After selling off to
$1.18X0-1.10?. May advanced to $1.174 on a
fair demand from commission houses. The
buying was partly the result of firmness of
cab Ire.. Extreme cold weather In tho North
west was also a decided factor. The effect
of the cold wave, it was claimed, would be" a
material decrease in receipts. Later In the
day the market was somewhat affected by the
weakness- of coarac grains, but showed only a
'slight loKfi. During the last hour, however.
wheat 'became decidedly weak, following de
clines at Minneapolis and St. Louis. A report
from Minneapolis that some of the mill there
Would close owing to the poor demand for
flour was apparently the moat Important In
fluence. In the May option the low point of
the day was reached at $1.16. Final quota
tions on May were at $1.16S1.1GU
Havy liquidation by a prominent long
