THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, THURSDAY, .JANUARY 11, 1906. is HDD IS ILL BIGHT Fruit Jobbers of Front Street Indorse the Inspector. ATTACK IS UNWARRANTED No Iiifc to IiOcal "Wheat Market Cessation of Eastern Orders for Hops Eggs Arc Becoming More Plentiful. FRUIT Front-street jotbors in dorse work of county Inspector. POTATOES Improvement In ship ping: demand. VEGETABLES House lettuce Is lower. EGGS Receipts ' increasing and market weaker. POULTRY All kinds clean up. MEATS Receipts large and de mand brink. WHEAT Local trade slow. HOPS Flurry in state markets continues. The wholesale fruit dealers of Front street arc highly indignant at the repeated attacks that have been made upon County Fruit In spector Reld by a certain evening paper of this city, which they declare are entirely un warranted. They regard Mr. Reid as an ef ficient and conscientious official, who has al ready done much good in his particular line. That the benefits will be even greater in years -io come Is apparent to any one with common cense, as Inspector Rdd, by educating the farmers up to the proper methods of culti vating and spraying their trees, has gone di rectly to the root of the matter. The abuse heaped on Mr. Reld by the c-cnlng paper la regarded as an expression of personal malice on tho part of the writer of the articles. The only persons in this city who are in a posi tion to Judge of the merits of the Inspector's won: arc the merchants of Front street, and that they indorse him is shown by the fol lowing letter, which was presented to him yes terday: "Portland, Or.. Jan. 10. James H. Reld, Fruit Inspector Dear sir: The undersigned fruit Jobbers, realizing the fact that your un tiring effort toward improving the quality nnd pack of fruits Intended for sale in thla market, have been and are of inestimable value to the general industry of the state, desire that you accept the Inclosed order on Buffum & Pendleton for the bent hat in their house as a mark of their appreciation.

WHEAT MARKET BULL. Offerings Are Light and Holders Ask More Tlian Buyer Will Pay. The local wheat market is in almost a stag nant condition. Offerings are very light, as but a comparatively rmall amount of grain remains untold in territory tributary to this city, and what Is left is in strong hands. Buyers show no willingness to pay the prices asked and a dull market is the reoult. The undertone yesterday was rather weak at the quotations which were given by dealers as 71 72 cents for club and 7374 cents for blue stem. "Our farmers are almont capitalists," says Broomhall in discussing the general situation. "Tho world's crop ! one of the largest ever recorded, buf the price settler Is the demand. In the case of crop returns the value of tho annual compilation Is greatly reduced by the new methods adopted by the Russian and Indian officials in arriving at their annual es timates', by which the llgures for the past three years have been arbitrarily increased to the extent of perhaps 240,000.000 bushels. It is not so much the absolute size of theeroD. it lanrc or small, which determines the be price at which it soils, but rather the dlspo- anion of the holder. ' The British government has issued the fol lowing dispatch from the Viceroy of India, dated December 10, 1003: "Crop prospects dur ing the week ending December 9: West United Provinces No rain. It is urgently wanted in Mccrut, Rohllkhand nnd Allahabad divisions. crops are withering. liundlekhand Prices are high still, with a tendency to rise; test relief works closed in one dlrtrlct. but are being opened in others. Rajputana No rain; large numbers of the cultivating and menial classes have emigrated from Aimermerwura those remaining come freely on relief; Spring crop sewing much restricted, and prospects arc reported to be poor in North and East Raj putana. Central India No rain; situation same as last reported. Bombay No rain; it is urgently wanted In Dcocan and Kaarnatak; test relief works opened in the Doccan dis trict. Hyderabad No rain; situation unim proved; in other provinces, prospects fair or good." contracted with Edward Pelett for 10,000 pounds of hops each year for the next five years, at 10 cents per pound." ' The only activity Just now seems to bo in Oregon, where the only good hops can bo found. The California market is neglected and trade in New York is dull. according to the "Watervllle Times of January 5, which jays: 'It looks as though the dullness of the holi days was to last through January. Buyers claim there is no demand from brewers, and that very little will be doing for a month yet. The holders of hops are disgusted at the low prices offered and roost of them promptly re fute to accept an offer In the few InMancea when one la made. We have beard that the Hathaway lot near Orlskany Falls was sold at 10 cents. Other hops have been sold as low as 7 cents. More Eggs Coming Id. Receipts of eggs show a gradual increase. Trading yesterday was generally done at 28 Vents, but other prices were Quoted. Poultry cleaned up promptly at the quota tions. The strongest demand was for hens, duoka and geese. The butter market waa unchanged. Dressed Meat Sell Readily. Receipts of dresoed hogs yesterday were larger than for any time In three weeks, but the demand was strong and they moved off readily at firm prices. Veal was also plenti ful, but quickly cleaned up.

V POTATO MARKET IMPROVING. But No Demand for Poor Stock Hothouse Lettuce Lower. " An Improved feeling is noted in the potato market. The shipping demand continues to be for fancy grades, which are very scarce and in the abeence of these, buyers are pick ing up the next best offerings to be had. Poor scrubby stock is still a drug on the market and is hard to move at 50 cents a sack. A light inquiry is still noted in the vegetable market. Stocks are ample, and in the case of hothouse lettuce, lower prices are quoted. A car of celery is due today. Advices from San Francisco say that cabbage Is very firm there and will not go lower. A car of fancy oranges arrived yesterday and a car of Riversides is due today or tomorrow. WANT HOPS BADLY. Buying Movement in This Stat Is Gaining Force. Tho hopbuyir.g movement seems to be gain ing force Instead of diminishing. Those deal ers who last month declared that the market would die a natural death at the close of the year have another guess coming, for the ac tivity since January 1 has been far greater than In the same period before New Year's. Almost every dealer in the city has orders, some of them big ones, though they are loth to acknowledge it. The buying is said to be largely by Eastern Arms that sold short, and now, fearing that the market will get away from them, are covering as fast as possible. Ten and 104 cents was reported offered for choice hops at Aurora yesterday, but holders of these grades were generally above the market. The trade was Interested during the day in a report from Hlllsboro that tho Cates lot of about 500 bales'-had been sold at 8si cents. The Tenness lot of 40 bales at Oregon City was bought by Fred Shores at 8 cents,' who aUso nought two other lots there, aggre gating 50 bales, at the same price. A dispatch from Aurora says: "M.

Talk of Gold Exports. NEW YORK. Jan. 10. There was a further contraction In the activity of the dealings in stocks today and the dUpoltioa to take proflu was even more clearly manifest than yester day. The profit-taking, however, was con ducted in an orderly and systemaUc manner and without creating any serious disturbances of values. The market still showed itself under effective control. Prices opened higher all around, the up ward spurt at the beginning extending to a wide man-in In some cases. This was evi dently for the purpose of affording a belter basts fcr selling stocks and the process was immediately begun. There was a striking demonstration .of the continued power of the organized speculation to sixain prices. Tho same force was perceptible during the day In the effective sustaining influences of the mark ing up of special stocks which served as a brake on the downward course of the general market under the psocess of realizing. There was no new news to account for the day's movement- of prices. The selling to realize proflts seemed In pursuance of the fixed plan of operation entered, upon in tho early stages of the movement by the pow erful speculaUve combination ruling the mar ket. That Is to say, stocks were taken and held with obstinate determination enough through the 125 per cent money rate of De cember with the fixed purpoto of meeting the general outidde demand to bo expected with the seasonable relaxation of the money market at the first of the year. Such a demand has bten a factor in the market, but it han failed to reach the expected proportions and nothing like the runaway bull market that was hoped for has developed. The palpable fact of the pront-taklng on the part of the large organ ized operators has undoubtedly bad its part In discouraging a precipitate speculation on the part of the general public which has been well Informed of the conditions of the mar ket by the wldcopread and notorious discus sion of the bituatlen. So far as the re-naming doubts over tho money outlook are a fac tor. It Is not because of any apprehension of such a scueeze as would force out presont holders. The principal Influence in today's money market was the response to the decided re laxation abroad. DUcounts cased both In Lon don, Parte and Berlin, and London exchange moved up briskly in Pari. This operated to prevent the expected profit on an engagement of gold In New York for export to Pari, in spite of the further rife in foreign exehanc. in New York. Later gold exports are still looked for. Canadian Pacific and Kansas & Texas were strong and AmAgaraated Copper made good headway agalnev the weight of the selling. There. were various other points of strength among the rallroado and specialties. Theso poved their sustaining power throughout, but prices gravitated to a lower level In spite of frequent rallies. The doting was easy after one of these rallies and with -stocks at the lowest, , Bonds were Irregular. Total salci. $2,SS5. 000. United States 2u coupon dt'clined 3i per cent on call.

Dan & Co.' annual report of failures contains the following Information: Commercial failures- in the United States during the year 1903 were 11:320 In number, with assets of $57,828,090 and liabilities of 1192.678,172. a most otriklng Improvement compared with the 12,199 failures in 1904. when assets were $S4,4SS,G76 and liabilities J HI. 202.311. In every comparison the figures for 1903 are more satisfactory than those of the previous year. Thus. In manufacturing operation- there were 2726 failures against 2848. while liabilities were $14,252,629. against f32.950.473; trading fallurto numbered 8473, against 8S9S. and liabilities were S5I.734.3o3, compared with 564.429.C44. Other commercial failure, such as brokerage, real estate, insur ance, etc., not properly Included In the two principal divisions, were 519 In numbor and $6,639,040 la amount, against 433 failures In 1904. when the liabilities were ?2J.S22.194. This Is the most striking decrease in amount of liabilitlef. and It- partly due to the Baltimore fire la the previous year, although the de creases were aim large In other sections of the country, notably New York. Massachusetts and Illinois. In addition to the commercial failures, there were 78 suspensions of banks and other fiduciary lnrtltutlons, with nn ag gregate defaulted Indebtedness of 120.227.153. against 99 in the previous year for ?28,158,811."

Dur ing the past 20 years the amount of capital inverted In the various gainful occupations has Increased almost steadily and the volume of trade expanded so remarkably that it would be logical to expect the amount of de faulted Indebtedness to rise in a similar ratio. That it haa not done so I conclusive evidence of progress in the right direction, of the more conservative methods prevailing and the gen erally healthier situation.
