NGREASE IN TRADE
Spring Demand in Jobbing
Lines Shows Improvement
COUNTRY PRODUCE IS ACTIVE
Hops Moving Freely, but at Prices
Unsatisfactory to Growers No .
Trading in Wheat Oriental
Inquiry for Flour Slow.
From grocery Jobbers come the re part of a
gradual increase Jn the Spring trade, which
for 90R:e reason has been backward this year.
In other lines not much Improvement is shown,
except jn the handling: of fresh produce. Hops
have been more active, but at weak prices.
Nothing is do ng in wheat and very little In
flour- The wool market is firm, with contract
ing having ceased, probably for the eeason.
There is still a. good demand In California for'
choice Oregon potatoes, but the (situation here
is iess satisfactory, Colorado stock is again
coming in. Tho onion season is nearly at an
end. Some excitement has been caused in the
egg market by active buying by speculators
for fmg. Butter is firm yet, but receipts
-e on the increase.
X HEAT Dealers report that there have been
no transactions in the wheat market in the
I as, week. There la no Eastern or California
drrr.and at the moment, and export tradhtg is
ct of the question. The acceptance of red
Oregon wheat on contract at Chicago has had
3 appreciable effect on prices here, as there
Is ret to exceed &00.O00 bushels of this grade
remaining in the Northwest. In the absence
of trading prices arc wholly nominal. Dealers
race the talue of club wheat on track at
I'prtland at S2S3c. But It would probably
be impossible to buy from farmers under Soc
"Valley wheat ia still quotable at S7c here,
i whi.e some millers throughout the Valley are
jPay'ng from 2c to Sc above this figure for
erna.l lets. Word is received from "Walla
"Walla that ealea of wheat for the season in
that district have closed, but shipping is far
more arthe than for a long time. The large
grain companies, which have been buying oon-
tnucusly through the "Winter, are beginning
to throw their purchases on the Eastern mar-
Ikrts, and the demand for cars is almost as
great as earlier in the "Winter. Some grain
la gc!ng to the Sound and Portland, but the
greater part is destined to Eastern markets.
Foreign crop and market conditions are sum-
roarized by the London ,oorre6pondent of the
! Northwestern Miller, in the issue of March 8,
as follows:
The wheat markets have been rather unset
tled this week. On the one hand, the retter-
laled cabled reports from India affirming that
serious damage has been done to the crop.
Iepeclal'y in the United Provinces, have tend-
led to strengthen prices, but on the other hand.
the liberal shipments from Argentina and the
I unexpected large supplies from Russia effect
ually kept buyers in check.
There is now little doubt Ohat the Austra
lian crop Is at least 33 per cent less than the
abnormally large one of last year, from which
bout 5,000,000. quarters were exported; but.
iltbough the surplus for Europe this year may
Inot exceed. 1,000,000 quarters, practically the
whole of it will evidently be shipped In the
first four or Ave months of the year.
The latest advices from Argentina, confirm
previous statement that In Santa Fe and
Cordoba the yield Is fully -30 per cent les than
Haat year's, so that, after making allowances
Ifor an Increased yield In the province of
Juenos Ayrcr. It 1 tolerably -clear that- the
fotal crop will bo at least 2,000.000 quarters
less than last year, when 15.000,000 quarters
er ereaped and 11,360,000 quarters exported.
lere again, however, although tho surplus
say be 2,000,000 quarters less than last year.
it is still a large -one, and will for the most
part e ehipped Jn the first six months of the
k-ear, thus guaranteeing a total weekly move
sent from that country.
"With regard to Russia, we are still to some
fxtent In doubt as to the probable extent of
ber future shipments. That there is plenty
If wneat tn the country Is not to be doubted,
Notwithstanding the liberal exports of tho last
Ilx months; but there is a very serious lack of
lolling stork on the railways, owing to th
trolongatlon of the war, and it is becoming
triaentiy Increasingly difficult to move the
rain to the seaboard. Another effect of the
far is an expected large decrease in the area
own with Spring wheat, which' is by far the
norc Important crop In Russia.
The state of the Indian crop is. of course, of
jeneral importance with regard to the future.
suse Indian wheat in the past 12 months
by its abundance and relative, cheapness
en the chief factor in enabling Euronean
fcarketa to Ignore to & great extent the very
HER prico or American wheat. If. as Is
aimed by some authorities, the Indian wheat
ap prove to be 33 -per cent less than last
wr. it would still be an average crow, and
peld a. fair surplus, but one not large enough
be attracted by low prices.
I For the present calendar year. 1IKI3. it Is
robaole that Argentina, India and Australasia
EHI not supply more than 19.500.000 quarters,
usslan will also probably ahip less, so that a
pry serious condition might result if Amer-
ft In the coming season should again find
self without a large surplus.
IFLOUR. FEED. ETC. The forelcn market

should hare do bearing on our domestic snar
Tcets, because yew Tork State -produced rally
this quantity mere than 1M3. and. besides our
imports of Continental hope tfcow (reduced to
American standard) 5000 bales increase. Un-,'
der the above conditions, we will have plenty
of heps to meet all requirement up to the
next crop, unless England should appear again
as buyers. Such is unlikely at present, con
sidering that all foreign markets are dull and
lower.
During this time' in 1903 and ISO! It was
figured out that the remaining stock was not
sufficient to meet requirements, but instead
there happened to be a surplus. Now again
some are figuring on tho same lines for the
1004 growth, and the result remains to bo
seen. Consumers do not Appear to be alarmed
and are keeping values in chock by pursuing
the "hand-to-mouth policy" which they have
adopted successfully during the past seasons of
high prices.
Quite a large business was done In contracts
for the coming 1305 crop at prices ranging
from 17c to 20c to growers, according to dis
trict, but sow the demand for these is limited.
If nothing unforseen happens, the IKS Pacific
Coast crop will be the largest on record, and
there Is no telling how big It will be the year
following, on account of the tremendous in
crease In the acreage.
FARM PRODUCE The San. Francisco potato
market Is firm for fancy grades and weak for
common stock. The local market, on the other
hand, is better supplied with choice potatoes
than it has been for some time past. This
fact has caused a weaker tone here, but the
balance would soon be restored had it not been
for the unexpected arrival of ten cars of Col
orado potatoes. These may yet- be diverted to
outside points, which will relieve the local
situation. Early seed potatoes are in strong
demands at high prices. Onions are quiet, as
the season Is Bearing an end.
There are Increased receipts of butter from
the country, and city creameries also report
more cream coming in. The market still holds
up firmly for best Oregon grades, but c. weak
ening is expected soon. California butter has
declined under an accumulation at San Fran
cisco, and it Is likely that a part of the sur
plus will be worked off here.
Egg dealers are busily storing, as It is
thought the bottom of the market has beea
readied this Spring, though low prices may be
looked for again in midsummer, when, how
ever, the quality will not be so good. The
cold storage operations, together with a fair
shipping inquiry and a good local demand,
which has been stimulated by the low prices,
have together strengthened the market Re
ceipts, however, are too heavy to permit of an
advance in prices. The general quotation
yesterday was 16c flat, though nme houses
gave a range c above and below this figure.
There Is a good market for poultry, and as
receipts have been adequate, prices have held
about steady, with 14c quoted as the top for
chickens.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. No changes
have taken place In the staple grocery list
since tho last 10c deellne In sugar.
Livestock receipts have been of average size,
and firmer prices have been quoted at the
Portland yards. Dressed pork and veal are
quoted Arm on Front street, notwithstanding
liberal receipts of the latter.

Chicago Wheat Affected by Minneapolis
Flour Market.
CHICAGO. March 15. Pit traders and com
mlseten houses were liberal seller at .-,
frem the outset. - Trading was mainly in the
July option. Notwithstanding higher prices
at Liverpool and small receipts in the North
west, opening quotations here showed mod
erate lories. May being off He to c at $1.12;
to $1.13. July was down a shade to "ig'ic
at 92T4c to 93Hc During the first part of the
day the demand was very slack and nri
readily yielded to the selling pressure July
oecuning to 82Vi92Sc May sold around
$1.13. Later in the session a momentary- flash
of strength carried May up to $M3T, and July
to U2c Covering by shorts on bullish news
from the. Northwest was responsible for the
upturn. A report from Minneapolis asserted
that large sales of flour had been made there.
In addition, cash wheat markets In the North
west were 'strong. Trade here soon lost all
of Its strength, however, and the market
doted weak, with May at $1.13 and July at
91T92c.
Trading In the corn pit was again active
but sentiment was inclined to bearishness.

' but More Active, '
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15 (Special.)
Wool-shearing will soon be general through
the middle counties and southward. About
500 bags of new clip have already reached the
local market, chiefly from Kern County.
Growers in that section find no trouble in se
curing purchasers at liberal prices for all clips
op to standard in condition. The recent heavy
rains will temporarily stop shearing, but by
April 1 growers In all districts will be send
ing wool forward. The stock thus far seen la
of good appearance. No wool has been re
ceived from Northern California to date. The
highest local authority says "prices hers re
main nominal and unreliable."
Hops are lower, and are now quoted locally
at 23c to 25c but with more movement at the
decline.
The fruit market was dull, owing to stormy
weather. The railroad blockade in the South
shut off the supply of oranges, and no auction
sale could be held. Small navels were firmly
sustained In the cpen market. Should the
blockade continue a few days, nearly every
thing will be cleaned up. Apples were de
pressed. Potatoes are in ample supply. Only fancy
Burbanks show firmness. The 6t Paul had
not arrived at a late hour. Onions were weak
and lower, at $3.15 to $3.25. Asparagus was
steady, cancers ."buying the surplus. The
Growers Association reduced rhubarb sharply.
The grain market was steady. Most of the
Olympiads oats will go to Japan on other
steamers.

HESITATING AND IRREGULAR.
Bay's Advance In Stocks Red need or Wiped
Out.
NEW YORK, March 15. There was a rem
nant of speculative spirit In the etock market
today, but' it made itself manifest in a con
f crvatlve way. The movement was hesitating
and Irregular. The fluctuations for the greater
part of the day, however, were above last
night's level, and It was not until the latter
part of the session that any considerable In
roads were made on prices.
Dispatches from Chicago detailing the enor
mous outlay contemplated by the railroads for
equipment for 19C5 caused a spurt in the va
rious car and locomotive company stocks.
There were published compilations of the ex
tensive traffic to originate in the Southern ter
Titer yon account of the activity In the South
ern Iron trade and the large cotton crop to be
moved, which led straightway to the marking
up of stocks of the Southern group of rail
ways. Foreigners were inclined to ell Americans
again. It Is Interesting to note, however, that
the London. Statist, la an extensive review of
American prospects, asserts a conviction that
a large movement of European capital into
American Investments is Imminent, owing to
the great expansion of productive facilities
which promises to be required In this coun
try. The Statist concludes:
"In spite of the growth of Imports into and
the drdlne in exports from the United States,
-and also in face of the unprecedented expendi
tures of American, tourists in Europe this
year, there may in th not distant future
signs that the gold which recently has been
exported from New York to Europe will re
turn to the United States."
This operation would be brought about by
a rise In meney rater here. The advance In
the call loan rate today to 4 per cent seems
to htve been Immediately due to the with
drawal of Government Cepcaits at National
banks, but .the effect cf the interior demand
for currency Is looked for in New York by the
cad of March, asd Is takes nmi accooat 'of
In the current ontlook. Prices sold off sharply
cn the rise In the call loan ratea and the day's
advances were much, reduced or entirely wiped
out.
Active discussion of the proposed stocc
transfer tax continued a discouraging factor
In the trading. The market closed easy. In
spite of the late rebound to 63 In Ontario &
"Western. '
Bonds were steady. Total salea. par value,
$3,920,000. United States bonds wore all un
changed on call.
