THE aiORJSlNa OKEGQJNIAN. PfllDAY, FfiBKUAliY 17) 1905. ID EXPORTS BF COTTON Oriental Countries Are Taking Increased Quantities, GROWTH OF TRADE-IN DECADE Japan Draws Upon This Country fbr Raw Article, Which It Manufac tures Sells Product to China Opelng for Americans. WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. Some fiffurea jut supplied by the Department or Commerce ana Labor, through Its Bureau of Statistics, "eug i5vt the possibilities -which await the cotton manufacturers of the United States when they may find time to nter seriously upon the task of turning into the manufactured tate the cot ton produced In this country and now supplied .n the natural Btato to the manufacturers of Cher countries. The figures In question abort merely the ex portation of cotton manufactures from Japan o China during a term of yeair, but as Japan uiu.Ma jarseiy uuro uic unueu tun mo raw cotton with which It produce the manu factures In question the suggestion which they effer Is naturally an Interesting one to us. Theaa figures of exports of cotton manufac tures from Japan to China nhow that the total value of cotton yams exported from Japan to China In ISO'S wan $20,080. and in 2t03 $11,112,507; and of other cotton manu facture in 1S93 5221.78.". and in 1003 32.013, 17, making the total ol cotton yarns and fin ished cotton manufactures went from Japan to China in 1S03 251.363. and In 1003 51C.120.054. Meantime tho quantity of raw cotton ex ported from the United States to, Japan lias fjrown from 783,242 pounds in 1S03 to 161.001,--19 pounds in 1900, the value of the same be :ng in 13 08,423. and In 1000 $12,712,619. The quantity and value In 1003 wero somewhat reduced by reason of the very high rrlce of American cottons and the fact that Japan In ;tar of high price In America turns for a par?, of her cotton supply to India, where she ?rds a shorter staple and therefore lower prices. Tho general fact, however, that Japan Ir Teased her purchase of our raw cotton from ft8.000 In lfc33 to J7.500.O00 In 1003. and In the same period Increased her tfcs of manu factured cotton to China from $251,000 In 193 to $16,000,000 In 1003. suggests the posslblll 'ies which await the cotton manufacturers of the t'nlted States vrhen they may choose to turn the cotton produced in this country Into the finished state before permitting it to paws to the cotton consumers of the world. Tills industry, which has recently sprung up in Japan, of buying American cotton, turning it into the manufactured state, and celling it to other countries Is. of course, merely a re production of a process which hasPbccn going on for many years In the older manufacturing r-ountrJes of Europe, The United Kingdom, for example, -took In 1003 $125,000,000 worth of cotton from tho United States, basing this statement upon our figures of exports to that country; and In the tame year exported $322, '00,000 worth of finished cotton ' goods and ?3t.000.000 worth of cotton yarn.--. Germany In the same year bought $S5.000,O0O worth of cotton from the United States, as shown by our own figures or exports to that country, and exported $S0, 000,000 worth of cotton manufactures, of which $71,000,000 was fin ished goods and the remainder yarns. France took in 1903 $35,000,000 worth of cot ton from the United States, basing this state ment again upon our rxport figures, and ex ported $25,000,000 -worth of cotton manufac tures, practically all finished goods, the quan ilty of yarns exported being less than $1,000, 000 in v!ue. Japan, as already indicated, took in IMP. S7.500,0K worth ot cotton from the United States, as indicated by our export figures, and exported $20,000,000 worth or cot ton manufactures, of which but $4,500,000 was finished goods, while $15,500,000 was yarn. The fact that yarns form a much larger pro portion "of Japan's? exports ot cetton manu factures than Is the cac with those of Euro pean countries 'Is -apparently due in part to the fact that her manufacturing establish ments have not yet reached that stage of per fection in the production of finished goods which the older countries of Europe have at tained; and in part, also, to the fact that the people of -her largest customer, China, utilize yarns largely in the household manufactures of cotton cloths for domestic use, especially in years of high prices of finished goods. This lh also true of the cotton exports of India, which in the year ending March 31, 1904, amounted to $34,000,000. of which $28,500,000, went in the form of yarns, largely to China nd other Oriental countries. STRENGTH Ol' GROCERIES. Beans Are Higher and Salt and Hour Are Expected to Advance. lireat firmness marks several of the leading articles in the staple grocery list. The most merest attaches to beans. In which there has been an advance In all grades in California, especially in small and large whlte3, owing to the Eastern demand, which has lately caused 3ieay shipments from the Coast. The strength of th salt market give indica tion of a further advance in a few day?. flour Is also expected to go up. la price In the near future. The market at the moment l very strong and in view of the high wheat prices being paid. It Is thought that the ad vance in flour quotations will be considerable. Trade Is active. Crops Not Damaged. PHILOMATH. Or.. Feb. 16. (Special.) De spite reports of alarmists that crops have sus tained serious damage as a result of the rfe ciu cold wave and of the subsequent spell of freezing and thawing weather, there is little oncrn among v farmers, who would not fall to detect any damaging results ot the freeze. "I cannot see that the cold snap haa Injured gTtin. A fortnight of " but little rainfall had jngs upon low ground where water had col ir.'ted." said County Commissioner Jolly, when interviewed today concerning tho probable ef fect ot tho recent zero weather upon sown grain. A fortnight of but llttl rainfall .had prepared the ground so that any 111 effects or a freeze were reduced to a minimum. PORTLAND 31 ARRETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc The excitomnnt. In the Chicago wheat mar ket has its effect hero, but it lis largely senti mental. Prices arc strong and; on a. parity with the East, somewhat higher, but thore is 'lar-dly any demand and .quotations aro almost nominal. Some inquiry is reported from the Eat. but local dealers report that they are not doing much. Farmers' Ideas have been strengthened by the Eastern bulge and It Is very difficult to get wheat even at the rubted values. It may also be noted that only a small fraction of the crop remains in lirst hands. There is a heavy local movement in flour, occasioned by the general belief that prices are on the eve of an advance. The ex port demand is quiet, orders from the Orient generally being very small. Oats, barley and hay ire rather quiet. Miltfeed is scarce and very firm. ' TV HEAT Walla Walla. SSc; Wuostem 85r; Valley. b7c per bushel.

Quotations were down yesterday to 24fj25 cent and there was practically no movement- Poultry arrivals were not large enough for the demand and prices of all kinds were consequently good.

The .stock market's show of spotty strength was about the fuur.o today as yesterday, except that some different etocks were affected. In tome cases it was apparent that the movements yrero due to operations by pools in the particular stocks. In some others there was news or rumors -which offered ground for higher prices. Low grade Industrials continued to play a con cplcuous part in the market and In the rail road list the low-priced non-dlvldend-paylng stocks came Into greater favor. Stocks of the Morgan group. Including United States Steel common and Rock Island, -were examples In this class. Union Pacific advanced again to slightly above its high price of yesterday. But the failure of a stock exchange house which warf said to be due to .uncovered commitments on the short side of the market, was believed to explain to ioa-.e extent yesterday's sharp rise in Union Pacific The strength of the stock In consequence did not hold throughout the day. There was. however, a corresponding advance to & new record price far Northern Securities on the curb and buyers of the stocks professed confidence that an early in crease In the Union Paclflc dividend rate was In contemplation. Yesterday rumors ot a transfer of control of Ontario & Western to New York Central were denied on authority, but that stock con tinued to show strength and the minority In- terests were said to have faith that they would bo granted lucrative terms. The decline In exchange rates continued and money was In abundant supply. The time la now approaching, however, when, the tide ot the currency movement from the interior is approaching the turn as indicated by the de cline in the Interior rates for exchange on New York. This periodical course of tho Spring money markets Is a natural restrictive influence on speculation in stocks and there U a tendency to anticipate It even before it docs develop. Great attention and active discussion wero given to the contest for control of tho enor mous resources ot one of tho great life In surance companies. Aido from the personal phases of the contest and of the merits of the dispute over the manner of administering tho Important affairs In-olvcd. the bitterness evoked by the struggle U witness to the vast importance attached to the control of the in surance companies. The effect was not stimu lating upon tho speculation in stocks. Further cuts were announced on freight rates In the progress of the .war for export traffic and there were complaints ot freight obstruc tion from the stormy weather. An uncertain tone developed in consequence and the bharp selling movement ot the last hour -wiped out about all ot the gains and established a few sharp losses. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $5,540,000. United Stat6 bonds unchanged on call. STOCK. QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

Feb. 16. The attention ot wheat tradcrs'-today centered around the May deliv ery. Trading In the option was at high ten sion all through the session. There was ap parently constant fear ofv unexpected develop ments. At the start. May was up i3Uc. to fifi-ic at $1.2031.20. July was unchanged to Uc higher at $1.02H1.02i. Commission houses generally had orders to buy at $1.20 for customers who wero short. Fllllne of theso orders was attended with no little ex citement. Within a few minutes aftur tho opening May soW at $1.20 and July at $1.01.02i.. Statistics appeared to have lit tle effect, the congested condition of the mar ket for May wheat being the all-absorbing topic of conversation. At the Initial advance there was long wheat for sale In large quajuJ. titles uy outside holders. Later the selling was augmented by offerings from houses that have Seen trading largely for "Wall street speculators. As a result prices experienced a harp setback. On covering by shorts May quickly regained much of the loss. July, however, was in poor demand. Tho market was extremely nervous the remainder of the session. Just before tho close another sharp advance occurred as a result of renewed cov ering. May rose to a new high record mark for the season, tlie price touching $1.21. "T!iu July option responded less readily. Final quotations on May were at $1.21- July closed at $1.02iJl.l25ii. Notice was posted that E. A. Ring, a small broker, hod failed to pay his balance at tho Clearing House. Aa in the chm:-oC E. H. Prince yesterday, the trouble was laid to the May deal In wheat.
