VEGETABLES California produce

MEATS Market firm with good de
mand. HOFS Steady buying In. the coun
try. The strongest feature of the produce market
in the last few days has been poultry. Very
liberal quantities have been sent in. but the
demand' has been in exeeH of the supply and
pricos have gradually hardened on all descrip
tion except turkeys. Chickens have sold ex
ceedingly well, yesterday's quotations ranging
nround 13 cents on bena and Springs about
-cent better. Some very fancy hons brought
14 cent. A considerable Hhlpment of drossed
turkeys was received and the prlee varied,
some dealers offering at ICfflT cents seme very
pood birds, while others hold for higher
prices. Gcee and 'ducks were In firm request
at the quotations.
Reviewing the poultry situation this week,
the market letter of a. Front-Htreet commis
elon Arm says:
"The market, on predicted by us, lias been
very firm, and while wo have had large re
ceipts, wc have not had all we needed by con
siderable. We have a large demand for hens
at 134fl34c and good Springs are about the
same. Gee are also In demand at 10llc.
Ducks are very firm at 15fl6c. Turkeys arc
In cood demand at 1510c alive, and fat
dressed will noil for 20f21c. We are quite
sure that we are not mistaken when we eay
that this country does not produce nearly
enough poultry. Since last Spring there has
hardly been a time when the demand for
good poultry has not been excellent. Fat
chickens, fat geese and, in fact, all poultry
are generally in good request, and at fair to
fancy prices. Lost Spring, locking ahead to
a good market during the Exposition, we tried
in all ways to Htimulate tho production of
more poultry, and we are sure that our efforts
brought forth fruit, for there has been an
enormous amount marketed, and It is still
coming."
The following Is taken from tho price cur
rent of another Front-street dealer:
"Our poultry markot is in fine condition.
Everything selling on arrival at quotations and
not enough coming to supply tho demand.
Ducks, fat hens and nmnll Springs are very
arce. This kind of.poultry will bring fancy
prices. Geese also will sell well."
VEGETABLES WILL BRING BIG 1 'RICES.
California Produce Sells High Because of
Crop Damage by Frost.
The California produce unloaded from the
steamer yesterday brought very stiff prices.
The supply was short as the crops in tho
Southern state were seriously hurt by the late
rrostfl. Beans sold at 20 cents and peas read
ily brought ir cents. Sprouts were firm at
74 cents and all the arrivals cleaned up
quickly. Ensler prices on cauliflower and
cabbage are lookod for later. A good many
tomatoes are hanging fire on the street, but
It is difficult to buy choice stock in San
Francisco. The demand for local hothouse
lettuce has fallen off somewhat and the Job
bing trade has a large supply on hand.
There were no carlot arrlvulw of fruit yes
terday. Two cars of bananas are due today
or tomorrow and a car of oranges is also
about due.
EGG QUOTATIONS VARY.
Receipts Are Not Evenly Distributed and
Dealers Have Different Views.
The egg situation is again somewhat mixed.
Yesterday's receipts were not evenly divided,
which probably accounts for the various opin
ions expressed of tho tone of the market,
which went all the way from very strong to
very weak. Quotations given were 28, 29 and
SO cents. As a. dealer expressed it, this is a
"wcathor market," and the future is un
certain, but all indications point to lower
price. It is evident that country shippers
will send In supplies as faBt an they can get
them.
flutter continues firm at the established quo
tations. Stocks on Front street are generally
light, while the city creftmerles have no sur
plus to bother them. An active trade is re
ported. HOP ORDERS UNFILLED.
Some Dealers Hold Bark. Expecting Tiower
Prices Later In Season.
The buying movement in the hop market
-continues unchecked, but the activity Ut wide
ly scattered and most of the transactions are
In small quantities, as is to be expected with
4 bo much of the crop already moved. Many
unfilled orders arc still on hand, somo of tho
traders holding back in the belief that prices
will later weaken. At tho momqnt, tho tono
of the market Is very steady.
Among the business done yesterday was the
purchaso by A. J. Ray of soveral lots at
Sherwood, aggregating 150 bales, at 8 cents.
Other buyers In the market were M. Rcln
rtcln, Catlin & Linn and Durban & Shucking.
Dressed Heat Firm. .
The market for dreaned meats is in satis
factory shape. The demand for choice veal Is
strong nnd good hogs soil well at top quota
tions. Mutton also moves freely, but receipts
are not heavy. There Is a stronger tono on
beef and an advance is looked for soon.

SOBER SECOND VIEW
Stock Market Takes Schiff's
Speech More Calmly,
AND LOSSES ARE REGAINED
Time Chosen for "Warning Believed
to Imply His Conviction That
Tension In Money Market
Has Xow Passed.
NEW YORK. Jan. 5. The strength f the
Mock market today shewed Irra restraint than
at any time thin week. The relaxation In
the money market was more pronounced than
since the turn of the year. There was a
much calmer view of the significance of yes
terday's remarks by Jacob H. Schlff foretelling
the greatest panic in history unless some
change was effected in the prevailing cur
rency system. Thin revised view was due not
s much to the qualifying phrases found In the
full report of the seech aga!nt the Inten
tion to imply & danger of Immediate disaster
as to a riper consideration of the conditions
of the address. It was realized that the
Ktgaclty of the experienced banker would pro
hibit the issuance of a note of alarm at a time
of actual Klraln and danger which wouM ag
gravate the danger. It was reasoned, there
fore, that the choosing of this time for giving
his warning implied Mr. SchlfTa convictions
that the time of actual danger of the condi
tion of tension In the money market was now
passed. The stress laid upon the agitation
for railroad legislation as an undesirable al
ternative to the desired meanares for cur
rency reform also Indicated a strong special
motive for the banker's addrew.
As speculative sentiment rrcelvol quite a
shock yesterday In the first perual of the
bulletins of this speech, there was . a corre
apondlng revulfion in rcntlment today. There
seemed to be a considerable demand to cover
e hurts en the part of bear operator?, who
sold the market hastily on yesterday's break.
Something was made of the fact of Mr.
SchlfTs contention that the Inconvenlesces in
the recent money market were net to be at
tributed to excessive speculation. The active
and vigorous support of Union Pacific was
given flpeeial significance as a reflection of the
market attitude of the banking interests from
which a warning came. The copper stocks
rebounded violently from the fierce raid nude
uxm them yesterday, and so relieved the
market from one of its principal factors of de
prosioii. The forecasts of the cash changes of the
week showed a very large movement of cur
rency to New York from the interior. The
margin of the receipts on balance over the
ksea on account of the ahmrptlon by the
sub-Treasury and the withdrawals of gold
for export, the latter amounting to $X,29S,V00.
was estimated at $2,(XXi.00Q and upward. The
precedent of former years warrants the .as
sumption that this reflux of funds to New
York from interior points will continue on a
large scale for several weeks to come.
Money wan offered for loann on call much
more freely as a .consequence of there condi
tions and from the early high rate of 8 per
eent was forced down after the active demand
for the day had been satisfied to below C per
cent.
The easing of the money rate was followed
by an advance in foreign exchange. Sterling
exchange at Continental points moved against
London and the transfer of this pressure prob
ably had Its part also In earning up the
Hterllng exchange rate here. The flrmaees of
British ceni-eis, however, had the effect of re
assuring sentiment over the European poiiUca!
outlook.
Pending meetings for the considers Ilea of
dividend action were the grounds for tome of
the special movement in prici, notably Union
Pacific. Amalgamated Copper and American
Locomotive. The sharp rise in the Kansas
City Southern tockri was In connection with
the rumors of absorption for control In the
interest of su Paul. Light selling to take
profit during the last hour was absorbed eas
ily and the final purt in Union Pacific car
ried the market to a strong and active closing.
Iionds were Irregular. Total sales, $3,H3,W.'.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

Wheat Ojitions Weakened by Slump

Tor River Potatoes. .
c.N FRANCISCO. Jan. 3. Speclal.) On
'change today. California fresh extra butter
abruptly declined 24 cents and flntts 1 cent,
owing to certain manufacatrers forcing sales.
lx-adlng handlers regard the drop as unwar
ranted in view of the light receipts here and
the small output in leading producing dis
tricts, which will continue so long as the
dry weather lasts, and predict that prices
will soon recover. California fresh eggs also
had a rapid decline, which Is regarded a
natural, as supplies are fully up to require
ments. Fancy mild new cheese advanced to
15 cents. Receipts. 22.800 pounds butter. 3a,fc00
poucd chetne. 13.200 dozen eggs.
Wheat options opened stronger, but the drop
in Chicago discouraged buyers and caused a
weaker closing. Barley was dull, but steady.
Oat were firm. All feedttuffs were strong.
Hay was more active.
Trade in fresh fruits was of small job
bing character and price were easy for every
thing except big navel oranges and Mexican
limes. Tropical varieties were in ample sup
ply. The firmness already noted In high-grade po
tatoes continues. Strictly fancy Oregon wouM
readily bring $1.13. but none of that grade
were In the Cotcmbla's cargo and none ar
rived by rail today. Lower grades are quiet
and unchanged. There Is some shipping demand
for cheap river Burbanks. but any advance
would stop buying. Onions are quiet and un
changed at $1.10fri.35. Garden vegetables, ex
cept tomatoes, are rcarce and hlxh.

WEfiTHER TOO FINE
Unseasonable Conditions Re
strict Trade Operations.
BUT AID STRUCTURAL WORK
3Ianufacturing Plants Rcsnme With
Orders on Hand for Distant De
liveries XtarRe Increase in
Foreign Trade.
NEW YORK. Jan. 5. Dun's Weekly- Review
of Trade tomorrow will say:
Erratic weather and the customary diffi
culties encountered in resuming normal con
ditions after a lengthy holiday have restricted
operations during the past week, especially
in retail and Jobbing" 'departments.
In some porta 0 the country It is - impos
sible to fill orders for lumber and building
materials, open weather making structural
work an unusual feature for the season.
Manufacturing plants are resuming, advance
orders assuring activity for some months in
most cases, and in many dlvMons of the Iron
and steel Industry. Idleness in 1CO0 can only
be produced by extensive cancellation.
Railway earning In December were 8.4 per
cent above last year's.
At this port alone for theitaat week. Imports
xceeded those of a year previous by $6,137,234.
or about 50 per cent, while exports gained
$2,005,771.
Conditions are without change In the htde
markets the demand remaining quiet, and
packers stocks carried over were In no case
burdensome.
Commercial failures this week in the United
States are 258. against 251 last week. 226
the previous week and 290 the corresponding
week last year. Failures In Canada number
32. against 27 kut week, 33 the preceding
week atul 23 last year.
RAILWAYS' SHOWING EX CELLENT.
December the Best Month of the Year.
Large limine In Sight.
NEW YORK. Jan. 5. Bradotreet's tomor
row will say;
December was perhaps the best month of
19u6 for the railways, with an Indicated gain
of 12 per cent over December,' 1904. Cars
are In better supply on open weather and the
passing of the holiday rush, but six months
of large business Is still in sight for the
rallwayH.
Building at New York and a few other large
cities is affected by the ' bousesmlths' .strike.
So far, the printers' strike has had rather
less than the xpeted effect. ,
Resales of conper by Chinese speculative
interests tend to check the upward trend ef
the market, buslnem for future delivery be
ing done on a basis of lc a pound below ttw
markets of this country and Europe. Iad
Is quiet but firm, and there is lew activity
in spelter.
Hutiaess failures in the United States for
the week ending January 4. 1DI. number 220.
against 212 last week and 27S In the like week
ef 1905. In Canada the failures for the week
numbered 22. agalnx 40 this week last year.
Wheat (Including flour) exports for the week
ending January 4 were 3.S39.741 bushels,
against 1.411.947 this week last year.

tions on May were up 4fr4c at 8SfMc.
During the first few minutes commiititon
houses and local traders were active bidders
and they carried the price of May up to 804c
The demand was caused chiefly by an ad
vance of 4d in the price of wheat at Liver

ceipts In the Northwest. The market, how
ever, soon encountered heavy selling orders
from commlftnon houses. These offerings were
generally considered to be made by some of
the leading bulks and general selling com
menced, which resulted in a qulek decline. May
dropping to SSic. At thiw point, there was
a slight rally, but lt was of short duration.
Fresh offerings came out and the market be
came still weaker. 3Iay declined to SSc. .An
Important factor In the latter part of the
trading was a statement from the official
grain Inspector of Argentina, claiming that
the exportable surplrw of wheat would be
greater this year than In 1905, and that the
quality of the grain was better. The market
closed easy, with May off 4c at 8Sc.

ket was firm for almost the entire day. May
