THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY 'APRIL 7, ' 1905. lo IV OH PRICES LOWER Easier Peeling in Bessemer Production. LARGE FOUNDRY CONTRACTS Building Outfook Is Steadily Improv ing Finish jjjg MillS'Are Getting Heavy- Specifications More Talk-of Importing. CLEVELAND, April C The Iron Trade Re Mcn this moraing says: An easier feeling ap. pears In the pig-iron market. Purchases ol ,000 tons of Btssscmer Iron for April deliv er by the steel corporation -were made at $15.30, valley furnaces for the bulk of It and $15,40 at furnaee for the balance, the Bes semer Association receding from, the tand taken one -week ago for 510 at furnace. These ansictlons show the purpose "of the largest Interest to hold prices in check and prevent a repetition of the unlfpalthy boom features of 1902. They thus furnish a key to the policj fipected te prevail in finished material mar kets, though it is to be said that steel billets a: today slightly out of proportion with $15.50 pig-Iron. Southern Iron can be had at $13.50, as heretofore. Of a 3000-ton purchase rf No. 2 foundry iron in the Pittsburg district, one considerable lot was at $15.75 furnace. The general run of foundry buyers nave iron bought three months ahead, and are disposed to await developments as to the sec ond half. As Indicating the attitude of large buyers, a 4000-ton contract is reported from Chicago, one of 2700 tons from New York and 'ne of 1000 from Pittsburg. The City of Chi cago has bought 8400 tons of cast-iron pipe, and that Industry is enjoying unusual pros perity. Meanwhile pig-iron production is In creasing. Selling firms which Imported iron freely In 1002 are figuring again on business in foreign Iron and steel. Ocean freight and prices abroad are .too high for -the bringing in of Iron for purely home consumption, but a $2 aavance would start imports Dy reaDoara consumers. The building outlook Is steadily Improving, and plans involving large business for the structural mills are coming forward each week. The American Bridge Company booked 50,000 tons in March, though 40,000 la & normal av erage. In other lines there has been no marked ac tivity, but with few exceptions finishing mills are getting heavy specifications. Meetings of the billet and plate associations in New York this week decided to make no change in prices. Bar iron lags, among mill products, and the scrap market at the present level works con sumption toward steel at the expense of iron, Leading plate mills are -three months behind cn delivery, but Bessemer tank steel can be shipped in 50 days. Advances of $1 to $2 a fn have been made in light rails, for which recent demand has been unusual. HOP AND BEER STATISTICS. Show Plainly That Brewers Must Buy More Hops. SALEM. Or.. April 6. (Special.) Hop and beer statistics received today by Salem hop dealers from the United States" Treasury and Agricultural Departments furnish the basis far discussion of a decidedly "bull tendency Trem the Agricultural Department it is as Trtalned that for the year1 ending July 1 I9C4. there were" consumed by the brewers of Tnlted States 39.565,534 pounds of hops cr 219.888 bales. These figures are com pi'rd from the sworn statements of brewer ebowmg the articles consumed by them. Prom the Treasury Department it is learned that the quantity of beer manufactured was a lit Me more than 4S.2OS.0OO barrels. This show a consumption of .82 pounds of hops per barrel of beer. Now," eays Conrad Krebs," If there wre 46)00.000 barrels of beer brewed in the Vn'ted States for the year ending July 1904. there will be 60,000,000 barrels brewed In the year ending July 1, 1605. At the same rate per barrel of consumption of hop It wl)l take 227.777 bales of hops. For pat ert medicines, yeast, etc. it will take 13,000 bales more, or a total of over 240.000 bales. "The crop of 1001 amounted to 260,000 bales, There were exported 80,000 bales and im ported 12,000 bales?, leaving a visible supply of 192,000 bales. It Mens to me that this shows that the brewers will be greatly need of hops before the crop of 1005 comes on the market." EARLY HOOD RIVER BERRIES Will Ripen by May i If the Weather Con tlnues "Warm. HOOD RIVER, Or., April 6. (Special.) It is feared the California berries may Interfere in the markets with the early Hood River strawberries. The Davidson Fruit Company has received word from Florin that the first shipment from there was made April 2, and that the season is expected to be In full blast by the 16th. Shipments from Florin will continue up to June 1. The crop there Is said to be an average one. Last season it was equal to that at Hood River. Strawberries hero have been blooming for two weeks, and it the warm weather con tinues will "be ripe by May 1. two weeks earlier than usual. The crop promises to be of fine quality. The acreage is not so ex tensive as last year, the crop this year bolng estimated at 75.000 crates. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour. Feed. Etc. There has been very little trading in the wheat market this week, aside from the buy ing by millers. Prices are quoted firm. There is some inquiry from tho East, and should the advanced prices there be maintained, buying is expected to be resumed on a better ecaler The Eastern movement, however, cannot ex pand to very large proportions, as there la no: much wheat Jft untsold in this oountrj. There is " fiome Oriental demand for wheat, tut no demand from Europe- The Japanese a.e also buying large quantities of barley on tjs Ooaet. The demand from that country r-r flour is less active this week. V, HEAT Club. 87c per bushel; blue stem. 95c; Valley.

STEEL CAMPAIGN OPENS ORGANIZED MOVEMENT IN THE PREFERRED STOCK. Price Rushed Up to Record Mark on Enormous Buying Entire List Is Helped. NEW TORK. April 6. The stock market broadened out today in a much better distri bution of strength, and there was a decided growth in animation as well. The tone of the railroad list was not so distinctly differ ent from that of the industries as tr&s the case yesterday and earlier in the week, but there persicted a rather spotty tendency among the railroads. The Inciting Influence to the notable- revival of speculative Interest was the organized move ment in United States Steel preferred, which stock was rushed up to a record price by rapid steps on an enormous accumulation. This moreroent was, of course, bfcsed on the extraordinary activity and prosperity in the iron and stetl trade. But this is not a new development nor is there any immediate new feature in the situation in that trade. It was inferred, therefore, that the suddenly aggres sive tone developed by the stock was due to the formation of a speculative party for the conduct of market operations rather than to a spontaneous spread over night through the country at large of a desire to buy the stock. The preliminary rise In London and the im portant buying of the stock here carried the impression that the campaign has Its ramifi cations abroad as well as In this country. The obvious nature of the operation did not have a deterrent effect ,at all on the sympa thetic Influence of the movement on the rest of the list. It has been a matter of discour agement among the speculative element for some time that the United States Steel stocks were neglected and comparatively unresponsive to the. unprecedented trade conditions in that Industry, the effect being to suggest some unknown condition back of the superficial sit uation which might prompt ultraconservatism on the part of the insiders in the corpora tion. The relief afforded by today's develop ment from the dampening effect on the gen eral list of the sluggishness of the bulky and unwieldy Steel Issues was very quickly mani fest throughout the market. The purpose of the $100,000,000 increase in Union Pacific preferred stock was as much a mystery as when first announced, and the wide range of conjecture on this point was a potent influence on the speculation in various stocks. The conviction was universal that the acquisition of control of another railroad sys tem Is in contemplation, but the identity of the railroad intended shifts constantly In the rumors current in the market- St. Paul and AtchUon were both pointed to at different periods today, while the New York Central hypothesis suffered some decline by the drag ging effect on that stock. The coming lead merger, which Is now gen erally accepted, was a stimulating factor in the stocks Immediately affected. The move ment in the Southern group of railroads was helped by the great growth in the cotton movement, and the encouraging reports from the Winter wheat crop were a supporting fac tor in the general market. The gradual easing of the money market encourages the faith of Ihe speculative ele ment that there is plenty to go around for all their purposes. The announcement of a call for 50 per cent of Government deposits in two installments on May 15 and July 1 did not disturb this confidence in the slightest degree. The extent of the day's advance in vited considerable realizing and the market closed Irregular and generally below the best. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, 55.225.000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. STOCK QUOTATIONS CloMng Sale. HIsh. Low. bib.

Sharp - Call for Excessive Margins Forces Much Covering at Start ,Close Is Easier. CHICAGO, April C Strength of May wheat was the main factor of tho wheat market at the opening. Initial quotations on that de livery were up 131c. at $1.1831.18. July was unchanged to c higher, at 8S3S9c Another factor, however, that exerted consid erable Influence was a substantial advance in the price of wheat in Liverpool. This up turn in May was due to an urgent demand from shorts. Owing to the congestion In May. commission-houses showed signs of Increasing unwillingness to tako new trades is that de livery except at unusual margins. A sharp call for excessive margins Is said to have forced some of the covering purchases at tho start. It was reported that margins as high Las 20 cents a bushel had been asked. As the session progressed, the threat of a sensational advance In May resulting from a bull raid as affecting later deliveries began to wear off and some prominent local operators who had covered July wheat as a precautionary measure commenced to resell. Offerings were sufficiently heavy to start a decline, which developed Into considerable weakness before the end of the day. Foor demand for cash wheat in all outside markets had a depress ing effect on speculative trading here. Addi tional reports were received telling of favor able growth of the Fall-sown crop. Late In the day May wheat sold off to $1.17 and July 87c. The market closed almost at the low est point of the day. -with May c higher, at $1.17 and July lc lower, at 87SSc.
