THE MORNING OREGONL1N, THUKSDAT, MiL&CH FLOUR AND HOPS Features of Week's Trading in Local Markets. MILLERS HAVE GOOD INQUIRY Japanese Orders Continue to Come In Turning Point Is Probably Reached In the Hop Trade Country. Produce . Slow. The most 'Important . feature in local busi ness In the week Just closed were the con tinuance of the export flour demand and the noticeable improvement in the hop market. Wheat trading was not to satisfactory as in the previous week. Wool and mohair are both in etrongcr tone and give promise of food prices when the burins season opens. Farm produce, on the whole,, was alpw In movement. Staple groceries were quoted gen- erally at former prices with the volume of business about up to the average. FLOUR The Oriental demand for flour con tinues brisk. AIn addition to the large ship ments that local exporters will make on the next two steamere of the Portland fc Asiatic line, a full cargo Trill go forward on a spe cially engaged steamer to call from here about April 20. New orders coming to hand Indi cate that the May steamer of the regular line will take out more than the average quantity of flour, and It is possible that an extra steamer may also be chartered for that month's salting. All thla flour goes to Japan and Is bought for deHvery before the advance In the Japanese tariff on July 1. Af ter that date the volume of business will de pend on the status of the war. A correspondent of the Northwestern Mil ler, writing from Yokohama under date of February 25. said: Flour stocks in Japan at the beginning of the year are estimated at 1.225,000 sacks of 49 pounds each. This itock is distributed smong the importers in Yokohama. Kobe and Nagasaki. Dealers tell me they do not think much of it was consigned. bu that It is most ly owned by importers or natives and import ers. This stock was accumulated before the advance in America, or bought for future, shipment before the advance. Arrivals during November and December were light, as the advance stopped purchases, and. the natives turned their attention to persimmons and. sweet potatoes as being much cheaper. The crop of rice was a- very large one In Japan this year, and had it not 'been for the war supplies taking such great quanti ties, prices must have been much cheaper. The stock of flour is valued at what It would cost to replace, which la regarded as prohibi tive by the natives, and they are letting It alone. If there Is a decline of any amount in Amer ica, dealers stand to lose a considerable sum, as storage and Interest charges must be reckoned with. Australia has sought trade in Japan, and in my opinion this Australian flour will be -welcomed by Importers who are mostly Engnsn and would favor a British sub ject at the same price for a like quality. Flour In Yokohama has not yet felt the In fluence of the high prices mllng in foreign markets, owing to previous overstocking. During January the tendency of prices was downward, but a largo government order for biscuit caused a slight rias In February, and the prces have since continued Arm. In vjew of the increased demand. for manu facturing bl?cult. no change Is anticipated for some time. The present prices vary from I .$1 15 per bag for Crown to $1.20 for Royal wheat ear). The present stock consists most ly or American flour, which Is preferred to Australian and Canadian on account of Its lower price. On February 15. when the stock In Yokohama was about 375,000 bags, it was reported that no contracts Tor lmnnrt ini yet been made this year. GRAIN Tbe tone of the wheat market has been, if anything, weaker In the past week, there has been a little buying for the East, but the trade has lacked the activity of the early part of the month. The export situ ation Is worse than ever with the constant decline in English markets. The latest ad vices from Buenos Ayrea. dated March 21, eald of the crop of Argentina: The official report of the Argentine Secre tary of Agriculture, in which U -lven the government's latest estimate of the wheat crop, Mates that the average yield will be 10 per cent over last year's. The oats market has been dragging in th pas., week. Buying has -been of a hand-to-mouth character, and buyers have generally demanded concessions. Trading In barley has also been quiet. HOPS There seems to be a brighter future to the hop market. Prices have not yet ad vanced, but the undertone Is considerably firmer. The .selling pressure ha ceased, and with an Increase in buying, whieh Is almost Inevitable under the circumstances, values must go up. The principal factor that has led to the changed conditions has been the elimi nation of weak dealers. So far as can be learned, most of this class Is out of the market, and the consumers must now go dl ret to the growers and the large specula tive holders. The growers of Oregon, who thus have the situation In their own hands, are holding tighter than ever, as shorts who have been trying ur cover In the past day or two can testify. The firmness of the growers is no doubt due to the arguments of Kreba and Plncus, who have been untiring in their -effort to keep them in line. They evidently stand a better chance now of winning- out than they have any time thl sea son. Not many transactions have taken place since the last report. The most Important up the Valley was the sale by CaUla & T.in, of JBalem. to Charles Werner, of New York, of 100 bales of the "Walter L. Tooze crop at 23 cents. Not much change is shown in the latest advices from the East and Europe. A New York report of March 25 said: The feature was the appearance of an Eng. Ush export buyer In the market as pur chaser of state hops. As near as could be learned it was believed the order was for a limited .quantity only, and fer choice grades. The amount purchased for the day, it was understood, was limited to a few hundred bales, and the prices paid were 27 and 23 cents. Hop conditions In England were stated la the Kentish Observer of Mareh 2 as follows: The trade since the middle of last week has been quiet, and whenever sales have been effected the prices have ruled low generally only . oQ5 10s per owt. Several lot have been withdrawn from the market, and many holder are hoping for an Im provement In values as a result of the pool icg arrangement. wiw Ntame & Co., bop factors. London, report binder date March 1: The market is slightly flnner this week, owing to the fact that some of the weakest holders hae cleared out. and prices have in oonteauecce assumed a somewhat harder tendency. Many lots have been withdrawn from sale, and the situation may be regarded as more satlsfac 6ry from the growers' point of view. Manger & Henley, London, report: The de mand for the cheaper useful copper hops con tinue and a good steady business has ben done during the past week in these grade. Prices have a firmer tone, nut are quotably unr-banged. W XL and XL UiUr, London, report: The market la hardening, and there are very few he-pa now to be obtained under an advance of at least 10s per cwt. on prices current last week tRODCCB-The week has"been a rather un satisfactory one in farm produce. Trade has been e;cw and dealers have generally cwin- yuB -reviving large stocks of what thty oo not want ana small supplies of the line that are wasted. Butter continues to weaken. Nearly all the Front-street boasts quote 30 cents for "best. ana uae city creameries may also have to drop their prices. Receipts' of country butter and cream are heavy, and large shipments of California butter help to depress the market. Eggs are also weak under heavy arrivals. TOjy a juoacrue demand ana little or no outside shipping Inquiry. Poultry, on the other hand, lias ruled firm. though no higher. Receipt have been small. and nave Invariably cleaned up with prompt- sees. The potato market is dragging again. There is a good California demand for fancy pota toes, but not 5 per cent of the stock offering comes under that classification. Onions aro also moving slowly; Groceries, meats, etc. The only change of Importance in the grocery list in the past week -was the 50-cent advance In standard rolled oats. The sugar market holds steady, uoaee is inclined to weakness. Rice Is ex pected to Improve In the Spring, as primary markets are firmer, Livestock receipts have, not been large, and former prices have ruled at the yards. Dressed veal is weak andSlower under large receipts. Pork Is only steady. Hog products are "unchanged. POI1TLAND MAE SETS. Grain. Floor, Feed.

Prices moved, up- wsrus again today on the stock exchange, and the advance was notable .In view of the down ward swing which has been In progress since the first of the week. Tha average level at the low point yesterday was not lower than before the recovery set in last week. Such irnewea resistance at a similar price level nas great significance ascribed to It as ,1 demonstration of a fixed level where resist ance becomes effective If a downward move- meat breaks through the level of a nrevlocs decline made shortly before. It Involves the Impairment of margins and the uncovering of siop-ioss orders In addition to those which were reached on the immediately nrecedlnr de cline and. Is therefore likely to be sharply extended. With the power of resistance de veloped anew, the professional party of re action la likely to conclude that their efforts at depression have been defeated and desist. The recovery did not extend very far at ursi. ana the animation died out of the market to a marked degree. The speculative demand, was restrained by the immediate out look in the money market, which is such as to threaten Inconvenience to borrowers un duly extended and dependent on call loans. The immediate Influence on the call money market was the placing of subscriptions for tne 33,ooo,ooa Installment of the Japanese loan. Whatever precautions may be taken to avoid disturbance In the placing of subscrip tions, it is obvious that with the books held open for several days there will be a neces sary tlelng up of funds temporarily, the sub- senpuon requiring a deposit to be held until the awards are made. It was believed In the hanking world that at least $7,000,000 or a,W0.00U would thus be. Involved. The call loan market "today showed the effect of this preparation In the 4 per cent rate, at which money lent even early in the day. It is re ported that large subscriptions are being of fered here for this loan for European account. ana the transfers of credit tn anticipation may telp to explain the recent large de cline in the exchange market here. Peace rumors were again influences In the world's securities market, and London was a buyer here as a reflection of this. Influence. The same influence served to check the ad vance in tho exchange market. The question Is canvassed whether the subscrintlcna to the 'Japanese loan will involve the withdrawal of gold on the demand of the Japanese gov. eminent. The successful London stock ex change settlement was an additional incen tive to buying for London The Canadian Pacific group made another strong demonstration, although the only news bearing on them was tho very favorable state ment of net earnings for February by the parent company. Reports from the coal trade Indicated large orders placed for anthracite at the reduced prices to go Into force In April, owing, it is said, to the desire secure ample reserves against possible min ing troubles. The announcement of the Pennsylvania bond lreue was according to expectation and tbe co operation in the underwriting of the two great banking houses which are most repre sentative of the rival lines of division in the railroad world was- of decided effect on senti ment as a sign of the harmonizing of Inter ests. This consideration gavo renewed force to the late suppositions as to the Northern Securities settlement and Its consequences. Union Pacific rebounded strongly as a result, and this had a notable sympathetic effect on the whole market. It had been feared that there would be flurry in call money late in the day. and when this failed to develop, the market took on new strtngth and animation, and went to the best prices of the day. The closing, how ever, was Irregular and rather dull. The striking advance In the Wabash de benture B bond's on the contention of a com mittee of bondholders for an exchange Into a fixed Interest bond, 'was tho feature of the -bond market.

Profit Taldsg of a Prominent loag the Leading Feature. CHICAGO. Mareh 29. Interest of traders to day centered In the.com nit. The nurtM w a big affair with proflt-taklng by. a promi nent long the leading feature. The sales by this one trader are said to h- 3,000.000 bushels. Influenced by this heavr liquidation, pit traders became short fli ers, thus adding to an already weak situa tion. Oae of the chief reasons for the unusual selling pressure. It is claimed, was the ex ceptionally good weather conditions and the prospects of extremely early corn planting. One report claimed that planting will be over In Central Missouri In two weeks. Another factor, however, that Is said rto be exerting a powerful Influence on the corn market at the present time, la the probability of a beavy movement from Argentina in the immediate future. The market opened steady with May unchanged to a shade higher, at 47Ti8 48c. For a time a comparatively firm tone prevailed. May advancing to 48c on covering by shorts. One of the srinelml lnn th. started to sell out part of hla holdings, and .ny uecnnea 10 46jc. The market rallied on renewed covering by shorts, but the close was weas, wua ilay off fiiie. at 47Vs47Jic The wheat market was affected- to a lan-n extent by the slump in corn. A secondary faeier was the continued excellent weather conditions and additional reports of the fa vorable progress of the crawl rur en. Xr, optimistic report from Kentucky was that more wheat will be raised in that.reglon than ever. While the acreage "tj not as large, it was asserted that the condition of the crop Is close to 100. and that the weather Is per fect. This report was supplemented by one from Kansas asserting that the total acreage devoted to wheat In that state la 5 per cent greater than ever before, and that the con dition of the new crop could not be exeelll. July opened c lower to Uc higher, at 8SH9 co:c. curing me nrst part of the session the market held comparatively steady, but with the break In corn, prices gradually yielded. July declining to S7?Sc- The market rallied materially late In tho day on coverlnr by shorts. There also was some disposition man ifested to take on long wheat In view of the decline In the value of future deliveries dur ing the past few days. Final quotations on July were at 88HSSS5c. May opened un changed to lower, at S1.11X81.12, sold between $1.11 apd $1.12. and closed at ?L12?4. Trading In oats was active, llauldatlon b-r local and outside holders being of consider able volume. The market was Influenced to large extent by the weakness of other grains.
