CHOICE GOODS ARE STRONG Active Trading at Various Points in the VaUey Unloading: of the Krebs Stock of Yearlings Is Announced. HOrS Growers of inferior grades pressing sales. Choice hops Arm. Un loading of Krebs holdings. FRUIT Foreign apple markets. "Working off local surplus of grapes. rOTATOES Shipping season soon to open. POULTRY Continued improvement in local prices. EGGS Steady market for fresh Ore gon. There were more hopgrowers in the local market yesterday offering hops for sale than on any day for a year and a half. Every hop office in the city was. visited by num bers, but the net result of their efforts to un load was lnrignlflcant. "While theyf were all anxious to sell, they were not o (ready to take the price offered for their gooas. when ny price at all was named. The majority cf samples thus brought in were of inferior crops that buyer in the field had passed by. The same report of conditions in the country was brought in by hopmen. Practically all the hops being forced on the market there are tf the lower grades, while to get a choice Rrticle. buyers must pay the limit. This they recm very willing to do. as is shown by the 32 and 13-cent transactions that are an nounced. The strong demand for there cream ere is not affected in any way by the gradual eoftening of value of the lower grades. Buying of prime and choice hops through out the Valley was spirited yesterday. Salem and Portland dealers taking on large lots. The heaviest trading was In Polk County, where Joe Harris, of Salem, was the leading oper ator, and where purchases by Klaber. "Wolf & Nctter on the previous day were reported. Other Portland dealers In the- market were Seavey & Metzler and A. J. Ray. who secured a number of lots around 11 cents, and Ernest "Wells, of the Horst Company, who bought a ?ntall lot or 70 bales at 10 cents at North Yamhill. v The rumors that haVc been In circulation for several days of the selling of Krebs Bros.' holdings of 1004s were practically confirmed by reports sent down from Salem during the day. which Indicated that the price ranged be tween 0 and 10 cents. Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Tacoma. are reported to have taken 200 bales of Krebs hops, Joe Harris 100 bales. Henry Ottenhelmer 100 bales and other deal ers various quantities. The Krebs holdings amounted to about 2000 bales, and were the largest lot of last year's crop held by any firm on the Coast, except Durst Bros., of Wheatland. Cal.. who are said to have some thing over 4000 bales. According to local deal ers, the selling of Krebs' hops will have a bad effect on the market for olds, but need not materially affect prices of new hops. The only material change reported in other markets yesterday was a slight decline In values at San Francisco, according to pri vate wires. The Associated' Press reported the New York market as .steady, against a pre vious description of firm. POULTRY ADVANCES SLOWLY. Tront-Street Market Has a Good Undertone Eggs Steady. The poultry market has a healthy under tone. Receipts were better yesterday, but quickly cleaned up. Prices are advancing slowly under the improved conditions. Hens were quotable yesterday at ll(jri2 cents, and very fancy stock was worth about half a. cent more. Springs ranged from 114 to 13 cents, according to size. Young turkeys were held at 16217 cents, and old ones at 1717 cents. The egg market was about steady, with fresh Oregons quoted at 2S. 29 and 30 cents, and Eastern in good supply at 24 and 23 cents. There is a stronger demand for store but ter at 1616 cents. Creamery -grades are weak and unchanged. GRATES CLEANING UP. Market Will Be Bare by Time Next Steamer Arrives. Very few grapes wore received on Front street yesterday, which was a good thing for the Jobbers, as It enabled them to clean up most of the accumulation that has been on hand since the last steamer. Prices had to be shaded in many instances, but the 6tock brought all it was worth. By the time the next steamer arrives Sunday the market will again be In good shape. Apples were in fair demand and brought steady prices. Potatoes aro firm, but no higher. A few email shipments have been made to the South and a genoral shipping movement will coon begin. 1'orelgnvApple Markets. George A. Cochrane, the Boston apple ex porter, under date of October 12, reports the foreign markets: "Latest cable advices from the principal apple markets of Great Britain this week are again very favorable. The de mand keeps good and large, and all arrivals are sold promptly. The red varieties of Fall apples, such as Gravenstelns. "Wealthys, Alex anders. Harveys, Snows, 6old to give nets all th" way from $2.50 to $3.50. with occasional sates of very fancy lots, especially Kings, ld to give nets as high as $44? 4.23.

Less veal has been received this week and wl'.h a good demand - for fancy stock, prices haw advanced half a cent. Poor veal are not wanted at any price. The inquiry for good hogs continues brisk. Other meats arc dull. Bank Clearings. Bunk clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. $ Ml .732 1.177.002 604,11)0 014.752 Balances, Portland . Seat'le ... Ta.-oma ..

SPURT IN SPECIALTIES Skyrocket Sfovemcnt in a Miscellan eous Assortment of Inactive Shares Standard Issues , Show Better Tone. NEW YORK, Oct. 20. Dealings In stocks expanded today and the -market broadened out Into greater animation and strength than for a long time part, the sales for the day rising to a total of 920,700 shares. The demonstra tion was in the nature of a. celebration of th dlsUnct relaxation of money conditions and was to a very large extent In the hands of the professional element. Commission houses continued to complain of smalt business. The celebration took on a rather riotous form during the progress of a series of sky rocket movements In a miscellaneous assort ment of specialties, many of which do not appear on the tape for months at a time. Practically every stock of this clas listed on the exchange was brought Mnto the movement at one time or another. The choice of those stocks, the majority of which are nondivldcnd payers and all of them selling at low prices, was based on the argument that dividend- paying railroad stocks require a larger amount of capital to carry them on margin, thus in creasing the burden of speculation during a period of htgh-money rates. But this did not discourage the continued attention to a class of gilt-edged and high priced railroad stocks owing to the great fa cility with which wide price movements can be produced In these stocks, of which the floating market supply Is always very small. The consequence Is that prices may be bid lip In such cases by points or even by five ana ten-point Intervals without bringing any of ferings where an advance of or in an active market leader would necessitate the absorption of thousands of shares In order to hold the advance The rather Incongruous spectacle was pre sented, therefore, of coincident movements In Standard Rope & Twine, V.nlcan Detinmng, American Grass Twine American Hide & Leather and stocks of a like class, valued from $t to $10 a share, and In high-priced railroad stocks selling at from $200 to over 5100 a share, while the body of the list of standard railroad stocks remained comparatively im passive. The usually active railroad siocks averaged a gain of about a point, however, the advance occurring mostly after the move ment In the specialties had proceeded foe some time and being prompted apparently by a realization on the part of the conductors of the movement, of the Incongruity of the lag cardness of the standard stocks. The close attention to the money situation was evident In the prompt response In the market to the publication of the preliminary estimate of the week's currency movement. which was quickly followed by the great spurt of activity for the day. The figures pointed to a small addition, on account of the regular express movement with the ..Interior, to the large gain of cash by the banks yielded by the subtreaeury operations which had contrib uted to the banks, up to Thursday evening. $4,457,000. The addition of the regular cur rency movement promised to bring the total gain In cash up to about $5,000,000. Discounts were shaded at all three of the. great money centers abroad and speculative sentiment was Inclined to leap to the con clusion that the strain of the October set tlements being over, an early return ot ease In money was to be looked for. The only un favorable factor In the days money market was the continued aggressive advance of ster ling exchange In this market. The announce ment of the final payment of $3,000,000 for tho purchase of the friars' land In the Philippines. which calls for the remittance of tnat sum from New York, may help to explain the per sistent strength this week In the exchange market. The common supposition, however. points to the remittance of Japanese funds on deposit here as the prime factor in exchange The high tide of the market's activity was not maintained and last prices were not at all the best, but the closing tone was strong. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par alu $3,770,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

Harris Believes Growers Arc "Unwise to Part "yith Their Crops at Present Prices. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 20. Special.) Over 1000 bales of hops were bought today by Salem dealers. Joseph Harris, agent for Benjamin Schwarz &. Sons, being the heaviest buyer. Among the lots bought by him were the fol lowing: The Tom McNIsh crop of 213 bales. at Dayton, at 12 cents; the Pierce Rlggs crop of 215 bales, at Independence, at 12 cents; .the Dupee crop of 123 bales, at St. Louts, at 114 cents; the Ed Cavanaugh crop of 130 bales at St. Louis at 11 cents. Other purchases of small lots were made at 11 to 12 cents. All 12-cent purchases were choice hops, and the others good primes. Harris has bought 5000 bales this season, and says he hopes to buy as many more. Never theless, he says he believes growers are fool ish to sell at present prices, for conditions make an advance almost certain. "If growers could speculate on their hops last year at 30 cents, I don't see why they should not gamble a little now at 10 cents," says Harris. "However, If growers are will ing to beat the price dowa to 10 cents I am willing to buy at that figure." Dealers generally report that owners ot choice hops are still firm, but holders of me diums and primes are anxious to let go. Dealers generally assert that the consign' raents of hops being made In North Yakima and In the Aurora district on 7-cent advances are bound to result In lower prices when those hope are thrown on the market. They are unanimous In condemning the consign ment policy. DALLAS HOT MARKET. Numerous Sales Are Reported Around Twelve Cents No Export Trade. DALLAS, Or..

The price situation Is strong as a whole. though some weakness, as In sugar, corn, bog products and raw silk and In other lines ot raw material, point to demand having been Hatisfied. Nothing of this sort. Is. however, Indicated In hides. "Wool Is quiet, as a whole.
