The European demand ha re ted somewhat and Liverpool quotations are jlso lower. There Is some flour Inquiry from lie Orient, but no demand for wheat. Buy ip for California account is lighter, as pres- lt requirements have been ' well filled, but huch wheat has been sold that has not been hipped yet I The market for oats Is very strong at $26 while feed. The demand is largely the suit of railroad construction on the north ink of the Columbia, contractor having faced eeveral heavy orders here. Gray oats re nominally quoted at ?25. but are very 6 rc.

IMPROVEMENT IN POULTRY. rket on Chickens Gradually Working to a Higher Level. rhe poultry market shows gradual lmprove- Int eo far as chickens are concerned. Re- Ipts are still light and the demand is a lie better. Prices ranged yesterday from to 11 centH, and will probably go consld- kbiy higher the coming weak. Turkey, on other hand, were weaker yesterday, as lelpts were large, and 17 cents was quot- jas the top. There was a good demand for lilce ducks and gcefc. ne commission firm reported a good in- lase in receipts of country eggs, but others Ire not eo well favored, and the general Lrcity held prices up. A car of Eastern was unloaded yesterday and several more on the way. Eastern eggs are quoted at If 27 cents. hie butter market Is weak and unsatlsfac- y. The only hope In sight for the cream- men is a cold spell that will diminish the hply of cream. NEW ORANGES FAIRLY GOOD. ag Local and Shipping Demand for Cranberries Grapes by Express. fhc car of new navel oranges that has In on the track for several days, vu un- 3ed yesterday. The fruit was in fair jpe. rather green, but it will soon color. ing prices were $3.750.4. Several mall 'of grapes were received by express and he .held generally at $1.40. though some Icy Tokays brought as high as $1.75.

HOP TRADE DRAGGING. ion Market Is Steadier, but Weaker Feeling Develops at New York. ie only features of the hop market are the ttlnucd lull in .local trading, a turn for the in the New York market and more tidiness In the foreign situation. lost of the dealer? of this city think that llnecs will not improve until near the closo he month. The buying done thus far has rly all been for the purpose of covering rt Mies, and November deliveries will nat- lly be held back as long as possible In hop that better bargains can be made r. Any Improvement In prices now Sid, of course, cause a wild scramble on part of these shorts, but such a turn la to be expected with the bulk of farm- ready and anxious sellers. The heaviest Sers. however, will be buyers right along t.hey cannot compress their business within days at the end of the month. cessation of export buying in New York re, resulting from the virtual cleaning up Ijolce offerings, and a neglecting of the for- grades, which comprise the great arlty of the crop, have given that market rry weak tone, though as yet prices arc no Choice states are quoted in the New market up to 22 cents, but this Is said Ye a "brewers price" made by dealers for purposes. Actual prices paid to grow- according to the New York hop papers. 15 to 19H cents. Pacific Coast hops, of year's crop, are held in New York at !,5 cents. Actual quality considered, they lid bring more money than Eastern hope. but a brewer who has used states" for ytara and built up bis reputation on the particular flavor of his brew is slow to turn hW atten tion to Pacifies." That he will ultimately have to" do so goes without raying, but for the present. Pacific Coast hops will be unjustly discriminated against. The place where Oregon's best hops are mort appreciated is London, .and under normal con ditions there would be an immense move ment In that direction, but this year Eng land has more hops of her own than she needs and will only buy what American hops she has contracted for and such additional quan tity as her epecial needs require. But one Portland Arm Is now engaged in this ex port business. Whether the demand will later Increase is a quostlon, but the chances are not very favorable. The change that has taken place In the London market this week is ap parent rather than real and affects' the tone or value, but not prices themselves. Hops at London. LIVERPOOL. Nov. 10.

IMbvcmcnt In Wearing Apparel and Foodstuffs the Feature Demand for Holiday Goods. NBW YORK, Nov. 10. Dun's Review of Trade tomorrow wilt y: Each week brings stronger business, seas onable weather having removed the last draw back, and the pressure for shipment of goods Is sa great In many lines that the partial hstt day put deliveries still further behind and caused much Inconvenience. Reports of wholesome conditions are now practically unanimous and Improvement In collections is noted In many dUpatches. Retail trade in wearing apparel and foodstuffs Is the feature. while Interest Is beginning to be nhown in holiday goods, of which very large stocks are accumulated In expectation of a record-break in: season. Manufacturing lines constantly establish i high-watr marks ot production, the prevnt output of pig Iron being at the rate of more than 2,008.000 ton monthly, and this Is one of the bsst-known business barometers. Railway earnings thus far reported for Oc tober show a gain of 2.5 per cent over last year's. Prosperity is also evidenced toy further rise in prices of commodities. Dun's index number en November 1 being $108.85$. the highest point of reernt years. The per capita amount of money In circulation Is also at a lew recoid of $$1.00. Foreign commerce la fully maintained, ex ports from this port being valued at $.147.S more than In the same week last year, and Imports Mined $1,028,944. Prices of hides have moved to new kick records for any date lnce the Civil War. and there is little difference even in com na risen with that period of restricted production. Failures this week number 18$ in the United States against 218 last year, and 18 in Canada, compared with 17 a year ago. COMPLAINTS OF CAR CONGESTION. New Orders Are Discouraged In Some Sections.

BANKS' LOSS ESTIMATED Strlngcncr In Money Market Is Ir no red by Stocktradcrs PrcS' sure Is Resisted and Up ward Move Continues. NEW TORK. Nov. 10. The rate for call loans went to 15 per cent again today, and the ssUmates- of the losses In cash by the banks for the week on the currency movement ran from . 18,000.000 to nearly .510.000.000. Nevertheless, stocks showed effective resis tance to pressure and later In the day de veloped aggressive strength. The conductors of the speculative operations for an advance eemed to have come to a concerted deter mination to Ignore the stringency in the nseny market as an influence on sentiment and to pay the prevailing rate from day to day loans and hold their stock. In the active discussion of the money sit nation, which went on all day. much was heard of a claim or a complaint that the ap parent stringency In the money market was the result of manipulation and was designed against Important speculative pools in special Mocks. The comparative tranquillity of other departments of the money markets was point ed to as corroborative of this view, it was a view that did not receive much countenance In banking circles or outside speculative clr ores about the stock exchange. A decline of JS.009.000 to ?10.000.000 within a week in the cash holdings of the banks, with the sur plus reserve at the beginning of that period down to J2.354.275. while speculative borrow lng continued Into this week in attempted ex tension of operations for the advance at some points seems sufficient explanation for the necessity on the part of the banks to curtail loans. It Is by no means unusual for Interest rates for a commercial purpose to be held down to a 6 per cent rate In the midst ot violent flurries In the call-money market on the flock exchange. The precedent of IS per cent quoted on eall money at the stock exchange In De cember. 1S99. while 6 per cent ruled for tlni Ioam and for mercantile papr. Is the mod striking example. It Is the comparative tran triHIty of commercial Interest rates that Is offered to explain the reluctance ot the Sec retary ot the Treasury to take any measures for the relief of the money market so far as the purely speculative needs are concerned The week'ct operations of the banks with the rehireasury alone show a loss of $5,127,000. The high rate for money Is an effective barrier against foreign pressure for funds upon New York and foreign exchange made further wide decline today. This was in spite ot a hardening of discounts in Paris and Ir Hn. Offerings of bankertV bills In the ex change market against loans placed In the money market was the principal factor In the weakness of exchange. The attractive level of money rates was said to have Induced largn offerings from outside centers and for account of corporations and capitalist In different parts of the country- The calling of loans oa the part of local bankn. however, kept up the rate most of the Ume above 11 per cent. Foreign market were discouraged again by the Russian troubles. asVshown by the fall In Russian bends. ThenV was no further tranofet of currency 'to th Intel lor throuch the pubtrrasury today, and this had some good effect on sentiment. It was pointed out In this connection that the Government InstI tittles thus far in November has already transferred $3. 150,000 to the Interior, compared with a total for the whole of last November of si.730.000. The activity of the stockmar ket diminished a good deal In the late deal ings, out there were only small concessions from the best prices and the etoMng was fair ly (Steady. Bonds were irregular.

At tlras the. bull leaders sup ported the market openly by liberal purchases, but efforts of this rort caused only small temporary rallies. Commission houses, while fair buyers at Intervals, were compelled to execute numerous setting orders for stop-loss account, adding materially to the weakness. Interest centered In the enormous shipments of wheat from Argentina.
