Wholesale fruit dealers are watching with
murh Interest the progress of a new company
being formed to fight the banana trust In this
sc-tlon of the country. The .name of the new
concern Is the Planters' Steamship Company.
Its head office Is to be at New Orleans, and
the promoters of the company arc business
men of the Middle West, well able to finance
the undertaking.
The banana trade of the Northwest Is in the
hands of the Fruit Despatch Company, of New
Orleans, This -company has a practical mon
opoly of the buulncfis. and conducts Us affairs
after the most approved Rockefeller and
Havemeyer methods. It not only dictates
prices tn the trade, but Insists that they shall
buy all their bananas of It. The slightest
brcarh of this agreement brings seriom pen
allies on the head of the Jobber, Inasmuch as
the Fruit Despatch Company immediately
shuts off his supply of bananas. The trade,
therefore, Is forced to buy from this "company
or do without the fruit.
Two Independent banana companies are in
operation in the South, but are not In a posi
tion to compete successfully with the trust.
and the trade in this part of the United
States Is, therefore, at the mercy of the big
magnates. The Independent companies are
the Thacker Bros. Steamship Company, of
Mobile, and Vaocaro Bros. & Co.", of New
Orleans
The Planters' Steamship Company Is Intend
ed to be a co-operative organization, the
stockholders being the Jobber who will
handle the produce. The company has e
cured poescsslon of valuable properties 1n cen
tral America, which will assure an adequate
supply of bananas of choice grade. It Is hoped
by Jobbers here that It will be successful,
as they are tired of the trust methods and
would like, i the future, to make some profit
out of their banana business.
HOI MARKET LIVELY.
But All the Buying Is for the Account of
Short Sellers.
The hop market was reported very active
yesterday. Several of the Salem dealers were
heavy buyers and a number of the Portland
dealers also operated. Prices paid ranged from
8 to 10 cents, .according to grade. No buyfng
above 10 cents was reported, All of the trad
ing was done by or for short sellers and deal
ers who tried to Interest the Eastern market
met with failure.
There will be a meeting at Santa Rosa, Cal.,
today of the hopgrowers of Sonoma Count',
to arrange wme method whereby the grow
ers may handle the crop every reason among
themselves and thus do away with the mid
dleman. The plan which Is proposed Is very
much like the Idea of the ralslngrowcrs of
the San Joaquin Valley, who have formed an
asportation for the handling of the raleln
crops.
DRIED FRUITS ARE STRONG.
Supply of Apricots In California Unprecc
dentedly Light.
The market for dried peaches, apples, apri
cots and prunes Is very Arm. . with a general
upward tendency. Concerning the situation
In apricots on the Coast, a prominent packing
Arm of California writes: "Notwithstanding
the large crop, the demand from Europe has
been unusually heavy, and this, coupled with
a good domestic demand, has taken practical
ly all available goods. In Northern California
we do not believe there are ten cars In grow
ers' hands today, while In Southern California
three daye ago there were probably 30 to 40
carloads, and there arc now less than ten.
With these held at almost prohibitive prices.
None of the packers are carrying large
Flocks."
Lima beans also show an advance, and still
higher prices are lookod for.
roultir Moves OfT Well.
TouUry of all kinds; moved off well yester
day at no special change In prices. Chickens
were In good request, but turkeys were not In
otieh strong demand.
The egg market was active and steady at
former prices, 35 cents for fresh Oregon and
about 20 cents for Eastern.
But'cr nss slow, weak and unchanged.
California Produce Receipts.
The steamer stuff unloaded yesterday morn
ing was In fair demand at the prices quoted.
The receipts were not large, but were ample

STOCK MARKET COMPOSED
RUSSIAN SCARE OVER AND THE
PRICES "REBOUND.
Two-Point Advance In Union Pacific
Has Xotablo Effect on the
General Sentiment.
NEW YORK. Nov. 17. The stock ntarket
sentiment had become composed this rooming
over the Russian outlook and prices rebounded
at the opening. In many places tl.e first gains
were widely extended during the course of the.
day. but the speulatlve taste showed the
same tendency toward specialization as for
some time past. The money market wan tran
quil by comparison with the feverish tone of
the earlier part of the week, and the prevail
ing rate all day was 6 per cent. The action
of the foreign exchange market Indicated that
yesterday's violent advance was due as much
to the fright over Russian affairs as the re
laxation of our money market. The further
decline in money rates today did not push
exchange notably higher, the price fluctuating
Irregularly during the day. Russian bends
recovered abroad and a formal statement from
the agency of one of the great French banks
In St. Petersburg had a reassuring effect there
and cleared up the panicky conditions la Rus
sian financial affairs.
The comparative ease of the money market
served as a reinforcement against any appre
hension that might be caused by the prelim
inary' Estimates of the week's currency. These
Indicated a further decline in the cash hold
ings of the banks, the estimates .varying from
less than $2,000,000 to upwards of $3,000.1X10.
Of this amount, the subtreasury has absorbed
$844,000. There Is no doubt that the . banks
have shipped currency on balance also' to lhe
Interior on the regular exchange questions.
With la, week's deficit of $2,428,800. this
movement would seem to Indicate the neces
sity of a much more violent contraction of
loans to restore the legal reserve than there
has been any Indication of In the stock mar
ket. But It is believed that special movement
of cash have taken place which servo lanccty
to offset the apparent toes. .of. regular exchange
quotations. Large amounts are known to bare
been received from Canada,jartd It i current
belief that shipments hareTeen received from
Interior points for deposit In New York to
be used In placing loans in the stock market.
The loan account of the banks Is expected, as
a matter of course, to shpw a large reduc
tion. The failure of tomorrow's bank state
room? to show a restoration of the reserves to
the regular limit would undoubtedly caum
surprise to speculative sentiment.
The announcement of the Issue of New York
Central treasury stock to stockholders at p,r
was a stimulating influence upon standard rail
road Mocks. The announcement haatbeen ex
pected, but Information varied as to whether
the submriptloa privilege would bs at par or
at 123v the latter being the rate at which the
preceding issue was allotted. Standard rail
road stocks had a more general share In to
day's advance than for any day of the week.
union Pacific's 2-point rlso had a notable ef
fect on senUmcnt. the recent Immobility uf
that stock serving to discourage a prominent
element in the speculative forces. Notwith
standing some normal profit-taking in the'
nnai nour, tne cloning was active, and strong
and generally at the best pricef the day.

and no new ones will be set out next yeUr.

Marion Davis, a Springfield grower, has al
ready commenced grubbing up a fine young
yard of ten acre. Many old growers, among
eihorn are George A. Dorrls. Campbell &
Walker and T. D. Linton, wtll do but little
work on their yards next year, making 'the
expense of cultivation very light, which means
that the yards will not produce over a. third
of a- crop at best. They cannot afford to put
the work on them that was.done this year at
the present price of hops.

NEW YORK Nor. 17. R. G. Dun & Coa
Weekly Review tomorrow wlH say:
A temporary flurry in the money market had
little deleterious effect In commercial chan
nels, moat resorts indicating a further In
crease in the volume of business. Wholesale
trade In holiday geoda is now under way, and
retail distribution of seasonable merchandise
respond to the generally lower temperature.
There Is some delay In collectlorfl. but the
reports Indicate that payments are prompt.
,'ln spite of the higher money ratrs.
Manufacturing plants have scarcely a draw
back excest scarcity of labor In a few In
stances and small strikes, that interrupt struc
tural work to somo extent.
Traffic condition have Improved and rail
way earnings for the first week of November
were 4.9 per cent larger than In the corre
sponding time last year, while the official
statement of foreign commerce for the month
of October, showed a very large Increase In
the aggregate, and at this port for the last
week exports gained $3,933,028 In comparison
with 1904. while Imports decreased $1,1G0.047.
Hides continue firm, but trading Is restrict
ed by the light offerings of packers, who ar
itrid far ahead, rather than any lack of de
mand. Further advances occurred In forelgp
dry hides.
Failures this week numbered 240 in tha
United States, against 217 last year and 42 In
Canada, compared "with 27 a year ago.

Cold weather and the coming Christmas holi
days have caused a heavy distribution in near
ly every seclloti of the country, save In the
Xorthwestern. where the rather high temperature-
and railway congestion prevent the full
est development. Railway earnings arc enor
mous, but the widespread blockades are as
suming a serious phase and tend to curtail
production In some Industrial lines. Outdoor
construction work is being conducted on an
enormous scale, and a shortage: of labor 1st re
ported from many sections. Real estate the
country over Is very brisk.
Copper, tin and lead have advanced in

reached within the past three years.

HUGH WHEAT IS DUMPED
ILEAYY SELLING LEADS TO
BREAK AT CHICAGO.
A
Opening Is Firm as a Result of
Higher Prices In European
Grain Markets. .
CHICAGO. Nov. 19. Weakness In the wheat
market developed toward the end of the first
hour. Early In the session, the prevailing
sentiment was bullish, and moderate gains
were recorded. At the opening the May option
was unchanged to Uc higher, at SSH8SS;e.
On active demand from commission-houses ami
local shorts the prlee qulekly rose td SOHc.
The buying was largely the result of the
strength Mhqwn In the price of wheat at Euro
pean graln centers, all the foreign markets
being somewhat above the prices of yester
day. Smalt shipments1 from Argentina and
the continuance of disturbed conditions In
Russia apparently formed the .basis of the
strength abroad. Small receipts In the. North
west lent also a bullish Influence to the
market. On the other hand, there wan a lesa
urgent demand for cah wheat at Minneapolis,
which resulted In a reduction of Its premium
over the December option. Near the end of
the first hour, the market showed signs of
weakness. Prlees broke sharply on liberal
selling by prominent bulls. Rumors credited.
one house with sales of over 1.000,000 of May
wheat. Almost Immediately there was a gen
eral rush on the part of pit traders to sell.
The decline brought out numerous stop-low or
ders In the commission-houses. For 5Iay the
lowest point of the day was reached at 87
(JS7ic The close was weak, with prices near
the lowrst point of the day and with a net
lois of H8?4c for May.
Early In the day the corn market was firm
but the close was weak. Mayjc lower, at
44!fcc
Notwithstanding the break In wheat and
com. the oats market dewed stead-. May left
off unchanged at 32He.
Provisions were firm early In the session.
The cause for this wa the fair demand cre
ated by the orders of a local packer. May
pork closed 10c lower, lard was off 21i8c,
and ribs, were down 2 Vic.

TWO MATADORS GORED.
Mining Congress Delegates Disgusted
at-Scenes at Bullfight.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from El Paso. Tex., says: At
the bullfight at Cludad Juarez yesterday,
given for the American Mining Congress,
there was a panic when Felix Robert, the
French matador, who claims to be the
only matador of that nationality, was
towed In the air and carried from the
arena bruised and bleeding.
Later the bull, a ferocious beast from
the ranch of General Luis Terras. Gover
nor of Chihuahua, made a run and
plunged Its long, sharp horns through
Matador Francisco Aloncto Plquero. ,toss
ing him Into the air first, then dragging
him about the ring, blood Streaming from
the wounds In the man's body. The spec
tators sickened at the sight, and women
fainted and screamed to be carried out.
The arena was packed with Americans
from every section of the United States,
few of whom had ever seen a bullfight,
and for a time the situation was serious.
Many men rushed from the sickening
sight In horror, while the women In many
Instances were carried out unconscious.
Order was finally restored, but most of
the Americans left, deciding that they
had already seen enough of the Mexican
and Spanish national sport, although this
was only the second bull up for slaughter
out of the four marked, for the matador's
sword. -
