T&E MOBNISG .0RE(3QyiAyy , THURSDAY, MARCH . 23, 1905.. DEMAND FOR FLOUR Japanese Buyers Are Again in the Market. LARGE ORDERS ARE PLACED Eastern Inquiry for Wheat Revives Hopbuyers and Growers Apart on Price Question Pro duce Market Steady. The most encouraging feature this week In the local markets Is In the flour trade. A revival In the Japanese demand promises large shipments In the next two months. There Is also a better reeling lr the wheat trade with some Inquiry from the East. Hops continue slow, both sides playing a waiting . game Prices Tor farm produce .generally are unchanged. There la a steady movement In groceries and moat Jobbers are satisfied -with the volume of trade. .Some, however, had placed their expectations too high and are disappointed because the Increase In business is not Tfcatr. WHEAT The advance In Eastern wheat prices In the past few days gave an f oppor tun.ty to local dealer to sell some cf their surplus stock, which they at onco took ad antage of. The condition, however, did not prcmote trading In the Interior, as the hold ers, always firm, were further strengthened In thcr views. Prices' are a shade better than a week ago In consequence of the slight spurt ef a.tIty, though the' Eastern market Hrorpd off again yesterday. Small Quantities cf rr .lng wheat are still going to Southern Ca:.';rnla. Of export business there Is none. Foreign crop and market conditions are re ported by the London correspondent of the Northwestern Miller of March 15, as follows: TJrre has been a' certain amount of ex citement here In the Indian wheat market this week, owing to the unfavorable crop reports which continue to be received by cable, theie wheats have appreciated In value about sixpence per Quarter, but In other de scriptions there has been little change In Tribes and very little animation In the de mand Apart from the Indian crop news, the fcau'cs are very large shipments from Ar gen':r.a 487.000 Quarters to Europe last week' and a further large Increase in 'the quantity afloat for the United Kingdom. The preser, . amount of wheat on passage to the Tn"'e3 Kingdom is. In fact, the largest on record for the time of year, which .J, a cir cumstance added to the certainty of continued liberal (shipments from Argentina for some time to come, that quite overshadows the re ports of damage to the Indian crop, the ef fects of whloh will only be felt later because there Is a large quantity of bid wheat to be carried forward Into the new season. Meanwhile it would be unwise to ignore the fact, now proved by official advices, that the 2rtd.an wheat crop is a' more or lees serious lit' ure in the most Important, wheat-growing ecct ons of the country, viz., the united Prcvins and the Punjab, which together produce about two-thirds of the total Indian crori. I atll recently the trade was skeptical with regard to the private reports ot damage to the crop which had promised so. well in De ftTber But the action of the London Corn Trade Association in applying to the Indian gcernroent for official- news had the effect tf bringing out the following official report from the Viceroy, dated February 23: The wheat crops aro poor in Bombay. Elser here they were very promising until Irbrua -r when thoy were damaged by frost' snl mt, r.h.lefly in the United Provinces, whtre tho Injuny 'Is -very. .eerious.r I may explain that Bombay grows only about 6 .p-r cent of the total crop, and Cal cutta "Bengal), where tho prospects are fair ly good, although the harvest Is very fete, another 6 per cent. It is very unusual and cx'raordlnary that the crop should suffer from frst .n February: so unusual is it that the damage may easily be much more serious than is at present apprehended by the .offi la'.s, who naturally are Induced to be opti mistic In their views. Ind.a last year (1904) supplied about 15 per cent of the worli's total shipments of whoat and flour. America 13 per cent, Ar gentina IS per cent and Russia about 32 per cent In the United Kingdom' supplies this season, however, India figures for27 per cent and Russia 8 per cent. ScrJ-us damage to the Indian crop as is here fcrushadowed will mean probably an unwilling ness to sell, on the part of Indian growers; ''eady the price ot new cbe-lce Kurrachee wheat for May-June shipment, which some weeks ago was 2te, and of No. 2 Calcutta ArrH-May shipment, which was 29s Cd, has risen :n each case to 3ls c L f. This very bearish element whloh existed a month ago. therefore, has been removed. Anof-.er feature which, somewhat perplexes the trade here la the deadlock" on the Russian railways. The war had already caused a Great restriction of rolling stock ou the rail ways and rendered the transport of grain to tie seaboard difficult, but tho present general t rite on the railways threatens to have still fur her very serious results. A'rea-'y the port stocks of wheat in Russia are diminishing fast, and unless they can be j-ecjRii-ucted by liberal, fresh supplies, we may find It very difficult In the Spring and Summer to obtain tho necessary supplies from that country. These two points, relating to India and Russia, act, therefore, as a set-oft to the usja ,y dc-resdng Influence of large La Plata h rments. and the growing quantity afloat. L Jl R, FBBD, KTC. The uddon demand for flour that has come from Jaran is due to tho f ac that a ' further advance in the tariff cf about ITS cents, geld, per barrell will take effect July 1. The shipments vdll bo made from here in April and May and the move ment will be much larger than In the past few months. As tho Portland line steamer carry out on an average of nearly 50,000 bar rels each trip, the new orders will give them all he freight thfy can carry in the. two months There are some Eastern Inquiries for flour, but they have not yet resulted In business. Nothing is doing .with the United Kingdom or South Africa. Locally there Is a good maikot at full prices. M '1 fwd maintains a Arm position with prices tfrong In view -of Mght stoeks carried. Oats and barley are both quoted firm, though trading is very dull Hay is Iaw sale and pr'ces are weak, owing to the lateness of the Sfasir HOFS Only one sale from grower to dealer was reported In the boo market this week. The io thai changed hands amounted to 45 bales and brought 224 cents. The bops were primes. Most dealers have Eastern orders for ncl'-e bops at under 24 cents. There Is nfc'.l ng pressure and the market is conse quently inactive. Kastera and foreign mar kets show no new developments. Mall advices frc:n New York of March 18 say; JJj new developments- ware reported from up the state or the eaast. business for the day :n these markets oeing quiet. There was no prcsure to market supplies and prices were quoted unchanged and steady. Business in the local market continued dull, but prices were reported noiotng lainy steady at me nasi quoted. PROPl TE There is a general eating up of adit'.ons In the butter market. Receipts from tthe state creameries are steadily increasing. ?)rnia butter is offering in large quan tits and the output ot the city creameries growing heavier. Full prices are still ob- alcabie. nut tho undertone of the market Is eaker and but -for a good local deraand rices could not have been held up so long. ftggs also give Indication of going lower c n urt tne. nniemng rmaaa Improves. ure large lots are being placed In Alaska. ut the Sound country has been buying liber ty In the Barw Local receipts continue wrt vy . . - . . . Arrivals of poultry have been rmaller than usual. There lias not been much demand this week. except for Spring chickens, and prices have not fluctuated much, The receipt of a car of Eastern poultry bad some effect In diminishing the inquiry on- Front street. Potatoes' are weak'cr, as Colorado are again 1 offered here as well as at San Francisco, and buyers are not Inclined to pay the high prices lately offered. The onion market is qule and steady. ' GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC A 30-eent drop is the price of package coffees was the only important change In the staple grocery list during the week. . j Receipts of livestock have been large during the week. Sheep bave held up to the pre vious firm quotations, but bogs weakened. Cattle prices have remained steady. Dressed pork was quoted weaker yesterday and dressed vealsteady. A new local price list Of bog products showed slight advances In lard and a decline In picnic hams. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain.

ON A DESCENDING SCALE STOCK PRICES SUFFER FROM LACK OF DEMAND. No Aggressive Upward Movement Is Looked For". In fthe Imme diate Future. NEW YORK. March 22. The growls Indif ference In the demand for stocks had a chill ing effect on speculative sentiment and tho level of prices was let down considerably fur ther today in spits of the constant Irregularity of the market- The fluctuations were largely due to the activity ot tho board room trad ers of tho larger class, whoso position was occasionally shifted in the progresa ot man euvers, designed probably to evade an un desirable following. This shitting process in- olved the buying of stocks now and then. but there was no evidence of positive strength In the market at any time. The growinr con viction that no aggressive upward movement to.be looked for In the Immediate future prompted considerable throwing over of se curities by holders not prepared to retain their contracts through an indefinite decline. The entanglement over "Venezuelan relations I was the subject of discussion, and wmie no 1 around was perceived for Immediate- alarm. It was felt that tho progress ot the affairs concernlsc various powers In Interest onereo. delicate situation with roow. for trouciesoraa developments. Tho action taken yesterday by the directors of the Corn Products Company In reducing the dividend on the preferred" stock had a de cidedly unfavorable influence. especially coupled, aa It was, with the pessimistic re marks of the president of the company cn conditions in that trade. The shutting aown ot sugar refineries was cited as' a parallel to show Chat trade might not be undevlatlng ly prosperous In all lines. The persistent heaviness of the "United States Steel stocks In spite of all the glowing reports of tho enormous demand for its products bad a dis- couraglng effect on the advocates of higher wTL, t- imnravment In- prices. . The merely nominal Improvement In dlcated In the NeWYork Central net earnings or the March quarter, although compared with a period last year of extraordinary ob stacles to transportation, was not relished. More attention was paid than recently to the apparently officially Inspired disclaimers of some of the lately prevalent rumors of intended dividend Increases and stocks which nave moved under this Influence were notably heavy. Importance was attached to the news from Albany, as promising the success of some of the measures of legislation which' are feared for their effect on securities. The foreign news also failed to offset any sustaining influence for stocks, and soma fears were reportea 01 Closer money conaiuoaa i London, which would endanger the hopes of relief from that quarter by gold imports, which were beginning to be Indulged. A Rus sian Joan was reported once to have been ne gotiated In France and the Imminence of an other Japanese Issue was also taken account of for the requirements on tho money mar kets, especially In view ot the reported par ticipation b American bankers. In the case of the last Japanese loan, these subscriptions Involved shipments of gold to Japan. The first transfers of currency through the eub-Treasury to New Orleans for the season marked the beginning of another cause of draining New York banking reserves. sub- Treasury reculrements also included large pay ments for internal revenue collections, which are made on drafts from Interior centers, whero the collections arc due and which are rep resented in that way and "an Indirect drain on New York reserves for the benefit of the Interior. These developments Impair any con fidence that caTi money will fall back im tlon. Tho pressure upon the stock " mar ket Increased progressively and was most se vere in the dosing transactions, tho trading endinc on a ranldly descending scale of prices. losses extending from 1 to 1 to over 2 points for many cf the- leading speculative stoeks.

"That one which looks Ilka miniature billboard," he continued. "That dress-suit case has more foreign labels on It than- any other satchel or valise I have ever seen, yet I know tho owner of it has never been outside of Oregon. "I know this to be a fact, as I. have known the party personally xfor years. He seems to have a mania for pasting labels on his case. He comes to Portland about once a week. He resides in one of the small towns about a hundred miles from here. Each time I seo him I notice there are a few more labels on his dress- suit case. At the present rate he is ac cumulating labels and tag3 I figure he will bave the leather of his case obscured from view within two months. I havo repeatedly asked him where he got, all those labels, but he would never tell me. I think he has some relatives In the East." ' Liabilities $1,000,000, No Assets. PHILADELPHIA. March 22.
