THE MORNING OREGONIAIS, THtYKSDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 190o. 13 TRADE PICKING UP Improvement in Nearly Every Line of Business, DUE TO CHANGE IN WEATHER City and Country Merchants Eiegin to Fill Depleted Stocks Strong Local Demand for Flour Im portant Changes Made. Improvements in nearly every line or Jobbing ani retail business haa bein iOiorled la the past week. Deaisrs attribute it largely to tbo c'snge In the weather. Travel Una tncieascd cn the local rail' and river lines, and oountry orders for the various commodities are mure numerous. The city grocery trade is also lack ing up, and the effect folt in the wholesale rrodjee district. There is less activity in. the gra!n markets, as the reason is practically at an end, and in hops dullness prevails as the resu!' of divergent views of buyers and sellers. . HEAT Some inquiries are being received from the East for wheat, and a considerable quantity will likely be shipped in that direc tion in the near future. The San Francisco market is pVactlcaliy closed at tho moment, a."! prices here preclude dealings with tho Cal ifornlans. New export business Is also out of t!;e question, though the movement may con t.nue a little longer, as it Is reported that negotiations are on for the charter of a ship to transport a quantity of wheat now stored V.-rv. Buying of wheat from first hand has been very stow, but dealers look for more ao tlity this month, as many farmers will wish to sell in order to avoid the tax assessment ct March 1. The foreign wheat situation is reported by the I.ondon cot respondent of the Northwestern ill r of February 1. as follows: A weaker feeling has obtained in the Euro pea.!! whe3t markets during the past week, mainly owing to the continued abundance of Iidlan wheat, especially from Kurraohee, and partly to a fear of a pressure to sell new La Plata wheat, now that it is coming more freely o the seaboard. In a general way it may be said 'that prices fart the year about 2s per quarter above l'rt year's point, which advance may be re garded as the measure by which Europe re gards the effects, so far. of America's failure to export wheat in any quantity. It may safe ly be said, however, that, in my opinion, the advance would have been far greater had it not b-n for the abnormal abundance of In dian wheat, the supplies of which have exceed ed tha?e of 3003 by about 32.000,000 bushels. This is, of couw, far from tilling up the loss of ove- 100.000.000 bushels in the American and Canadian supplies In 1004, compared with 1003. that has ben done to a sufficient extent by Argentina and' Australia. But as Indian wheac Is not, of itself, so far regardod by Eng lish millers as capable of making a saleable sack of flour, any excessive supply lends to unduly depress the rrlcc. The first three months of 1005 are likely to witness short supplies and a very large re duction In our stocks, which latter are still "arge. However, a decrease of about SO per cent In our stocks, which seems probsble dur ing theso three months, is hardly likely to co-'nclde- with declining price, although it is r-f-bablc that the big shipments from Argen tina and India will keep 'values in check until something be known of the outlook of the next European crop. Bflow I .give tho latest and. nwt complete account of the world's wheat production in 1BP4, compart with tho four previous years. I i-liould explain that the crop of Japan, offl 'la !y reported, is now added, and other addl Lcns and -corrections made since UiU state ment last appeared.

FLOUR. FEED. ETC. The Oriental demand for flour shows no improvement. A few in quiries are coming forward, but tho business is no better than it has been at any time- dur ing the dull season. The local movement, however, is more satisfactory, millers report ing a heavier trade in the first week of Feb ruary than in January, which in turn was better than in the same month of last year. As a consequence, prices are exceedingly firm, and in the case of a few outsido millers higher, though the Portland company has not yet changed its list Themarket for mlllfeed is also very strong, but as yet no higher. Oats and barley are quoted firm, but the movement is quiet. The hay market Is easy under liberal offerings and slower sales. There Is much Interest In the trade as to the future disposition of a large quantity of hay which has been accu mulated hore, but whether it is intended for Government use or Is to be chipped to one of he belligerent powers In the Far East every one is in the dark, except the firm directly concerned, and they offer no explanation of the mystery. HOPS A few sales of hops have been made v4n the past woek. the price said to be a frac tion over 25 cents. Most dealers consider the market to be on practically a 25-cent basis, and report that they cannot get Eastern or ders even at that figure. Twenty-five cents Is tho mark at which it was predicted the slump would halt, and the prophets believe, there 'ore, that a turn in the tide is now due, and that prices -will again resume an upward dl rcftion. The big holders remain stanch in their policy of ignoring all low offers, and de clare they will see the thing out to the end. Trading in the East continues of a hand-to-mouth natute. The latest New York advices A tame market continued to be reported. The advices received from tho Coast and -up the state reported a quiet condition of busi ness, and prices quoted "were more or less nom .na. locally, there was practically no de mand, dealers being Indifferent buyers, and business with brewers Wasvslow. PRODUCE The local market is again-flooded with apples, for which there 'Is only a limited demand. " The recent clean-up and improve ment in prices Induced growers to ship Jn heavily, and, as & consequence. Front street Is overstocked, and prices are barely maintained. The improvement In the potato market has been checked here and at San Francisco. In a measure, by the threat of Colorado shippers to flood tho Coast territory with their product. Holders in this state arc still Ann, and dealers report difficulty in buying stocks at market prices. The onion market is steady and. un changed. Eggs have made a .sensational decline in the last few days, and the indications point to a still lower level of prices, as receipt are In creasing, and buyers, as is always the case on a falling market, purchase only to fill their immediate needs. Poultry. In the main, haa dene well, as thcro has been a strong demand for good liens and Spring chickens, though commission men com plain of excessive receipts of rough roosters and such scrub stock. A firm butter market is reported by handlers of city and oountry creamery brands. The future of the market is conceded to depend al most wholly on -weather conditions, a mild spell being sure to increase the cream out put, though not so certain to improve the de mand. GROCERIES, MEATS, ETC The practical settlement of the salt war that has disturbed trade conditions on the Coast for so long was signalized yesterday by an advance of 50 cents per ton in all grades of California. salU An other Important grocery change was the an nouncement that W. SjO. beet sugar had been put back 10 -cents per 100, putting It now on the fame basis as Spreckels beet sugar, ?3.P3 per 100 pounds, with the usual cash discounts. Livestock receipts have been good during the week, but prices close practically unonangod at tho yards. There has been a good demand for dressed pork and voal, and prices have ruled very firm, as 'recelpt have not been sufficient. Marked declines were announced in bacon during the week. rOKTX&ND MARKETS. Grain. Flour. Toed. Etc WHEAT Walla Walla, S5ft86c: bluestem, 90 91c: Valley. 67c per bushel.

SUSTAINS GENERAL LIST SEVERAL STRONG' POINTS IN NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. New Developments of Interest, but of No Effect on Prices Union Pacific-Atchison Deal. NEW YORK. Feb. S. The stock market had its strong points today, which acted with sus taining effect on the general Hst In accordance with the precedent of several days previous. The movement In Reading and Ontario & Western was carried over from yesterday. But on the other hand yesterday's buoyant rise in Norfolk &. Western. Atchison. Tennessee Coal and some others showed evidence of having run out and halted or turned back today. There were new developments of Interest and of Importance, but price movements showed no direct reflection of these influences. Yesterday's rise In Atchison, unexplained at the time, found the motive in the election to day of H. C. Frldc and H. H. Rogers to the board of directors. Wall street regards this as confirmation of a report now several months old of an extension of holdings in this property In the interest of Union Pacific dom ination In the transcontinental railroad Held. Tho riso In Reading and Ontario & Western had somo explanation in the high rate of Jan uary production of anthracite, and In the rc pcris of reduction of tockrf on hand which Is resulting from Winter obstacles. But other members of the group of coalers were unre sponsive, notably the Erics, The easier tone in the exchange market and the check to the export of sold to France had some effect on speculative sentiment, although larg engagements for Cuba and South Amer ica served as a partly offsetting Influence. Foreign discount markets were inciiretl to be easier, 'and the price of gold was lower In London, while sterling exchange advanced in Paris. Peace rumors continued to affect tho foreign markets, and there as Mmc buynu here ot- atociu for foreign account. Reports of fur the; rurchases -jf pig Iron by the United Statu Steel Corporation were regarded as & satisfac tory Index of the Industrial situation, but United States Steel stocks were not affected. "There wero many advances, however, at other points of tho industrial list. There was some talk that New York. New Haven & Hartford was extending its holdings of Ontario & Western, and thU was held to account for the buoyant upshoot In that stock. which served to support the market at the last, and made the closing strong. Previous tc this tho large realizing which had been in progress alt day had rather generally over come the flrranens of tho market. Tho large number of offerings of now securities, which is In evidence in the financial advertising from day to day, tho occasional closing up of un derwrltlng syndicates and the ready absorp tlon of new bonds is a factor in tho prevailing strength of conditions in the investment mar kot. Bonus were Arm; total sales, $6,410,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. STOCK QUOTATIONS Closing bales.

CHICAGO. Feb. S. Dullnesa to the point where trading was almost at a standstill was witnessed in the wheat pit today. Prices throughout the entire session showed a down ward tendency. Lower prices at Liverpool had some effect on early trading. Initial quotations on May were off c to c at $1.16 1.16. July was also down c to c at $1.01S1.01. After July had sold off to $1.01. tho price rallied to $1.01 on buying by prominent commission houses. In sym pathy May sold up to $1.16. The sugport, however, was only temporary", the market soon becoming easy on lack of buying. One reason for the poor demand was the fact that the domestic situation as to existing supplies and general distribution apparently offered little encouragement to believers In higher prices. Reports from all sections told of lack of de mand for flour. Tho Increased arrivals formed probably one of tho chief causes of moderate selling hero during the day by houses with Northwestern connections. Selling developed fair proportions late in the session, and re sulted in a weakening. Closing prices were at $1.16 for May and $1.00 for July. Notwithstanding the weakness of wheat, the corn market held comparatively firm. May closed at 45c An effort by local bear leaders to raid the oats market was frustrated by active buying by shorts and commission houses. May closed c down, at 3030c Considering thw heavy receipts of hogs, the provision market was surprisingly steady.

Tho decision of. the British government to withdraw all the Infantry satiations from the West Indian colonics at an early date has been the occasion of considerable discussion in business circles durlns tho last lew days, cables the Herald s London corre spondent. It docs not appear to havo comes as a surprise to Army and Navy ofiicers. One man hlch In the military service stated that the move is, in a way. tho complement of what is being done In regard to British naval matters in the same locality. "It appears." said the officer, who however, refused to permit the use of his name, "that the British government has determined to take President Roose velt at hi3 word and accept his definition at the Monroe doctrine. If tne united States . : prepared to prevent any ter ritory In the Western hemisphere from falling- into European hands, it it Is al ready under government by Americans, and to prevent territory now owned by European powers, from being taken over by other powers in Europe, then the necessity for Great Britlan 3 maintenance of ships and troops in the West Indian possessions ceases, at least to a very largo extent. "Why. for example, should we bo at the expense of keeping soldiers at Bar badoes, Bermuda and Jamaica, when those places arc quite as secure from for eign invasion as is Cuba or Porto Rico?"
