THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1906. 13 is H MINES SLOW Lack of Demand Makes Drag ging Local Market. CROP PROSPECTS ARE GOOD Conditions in Foreign Exporting Countries Strong Demand for Oats and Barley Here Hay Is Still Weak. WHEAT Steady with light outside demand. BARLEY Firm and active. OATS Market strong and. supplies light. HAY Moderately actl-e and easy. 1IOPS Heavy buying in local mar ket. POULTRY Good demand lor every thing except turkeys. EGGS Prices are no lower. BUTTER Active and steady. Owing to the quiet and dragging condition of the wheat market, it looks as It it would take all Summer to dispose of the small quan tity of grain remaining in farmerrf hands in territory tributary to this city. The demand from Europe Is light, as Argentine and Aus tralian supplies are being offered in increased quantities, and there is practically no Ori ental lnaulry for cither wheat or flour. Cali fornia, which has been a good buyer In this market, is now out of it, as the breaking or the drouth there has left buyers In no mood to invest further in Northern grain. In pltc of the Inactivity here, prices hold to a Hteady basis. Latest reports from the growing districts ere that crop prospects- are very good. The acreage will be fully up to the average. If not larger. Some districts have been shy of moisture, but there is plenty of time yet to remedy this. The demand for oats and barley is good and prices rule very Arm. Hay in fairly active, but large stocks keep prices easy. Crop conditions in exporting countries are reported as follows In Broomhall's Corn Trade "cws of December 26: India The rains we mentioned last week do not appear to have been general, but reports have been contradictory, some saying the rain had censed, others reporting later rains. The first official bulletin for the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh says that the condition on Irrigated land Is good, but the crops are poor where not Irrigated. A decrease of over 1,000. 000 acres In the area under the wheat crop is estimated. Argentina The last word we had on Friday from our agent at Buenos Ayres reported that the harvesting of the wheat crop is progress ing favorably. The export movement is now HrhU Russia Navigation is now closed on the Asoff both at upper and lower ports. The sit uation la Btlll very bad at Baltic ports, but wc are now receiving letters and telegrams from South Russia with little or no delay. POULTRY ACTIVE AND FIRM. Everything In Selling- Well Except Live Turkeys. The poultry market was active yestorday at Arm price. The weekly market letter of a Kront-strcct dealer said: Today chickens are selling on arrival at prices that certainly will net the shippers a profit. Receipts arc Increasing somewhat, but the demand is excellent, especially for fat hens, and small Springs. Ducks continue scarce, not half enough coming to supply the Ch!nei trade alone- Geese and turkeys, alive or dressed, will sell readily at top quotations. Another local price current said: "We predicted a firm market for this week, and were not at all mistaken, for, while the receipts have been quite large, wc have hod none too many, and prices have held up well. Hens and good Springs have sold at 13tH3',A cents alive, and fancy dressed about a cent advanco over this. Ducks are very scarce. The Chinese arc in the market for a lot of them at this time of the year. Prices range at from lS-jrlS' cents alive. Geese aro in fair demand at lOifll cents alive, with fancy dressed at from 126713 cents. Live turkeyw arc not as Arm as they might be at about IS cents, but fat dressed ones go readily at 20 cents. While- receipts have been quite large this week, and while it Is true that high prices al ways bring the goods out of hiding, wo are quite sure that shippers will not miss It if they will ship freely the coming wcok. Good goods hardly ever go begging, and wc ask that shippers endeavor to chip prime stock only. Egg receipts were amplo yesterday and prices showed no further change. Meat of the business seemed to be at 28 cents, though tome single case lots we're sold higher. The butter market continues steady and unchanged. GOOD DEMAND FOR HOrS. Buying Movement In This .City Shows No Slackening Big Block on Market, The buying movement in the hop market was again on in full force yesterday. Most o the trading was between dealers, and It was tald to exceed In volume that of Thurs day. One dealer reported sales of 218 bales, but mosc of the other transactions wcro in -.mailer lots. Prices paid ranged from SJs to 10'a cents. ' The greatest Interest centered in a block of 6G0 bales of Independence hops that wcro of fered on the market by the United States .National Bank. They were grown by two Chinamen on land rented from Krebs Bros., and consisted of three lots of 127, 261 and 272 bales. Bids on the hops were asked, for and tenders wore made by a. number of Portland and Salem dealers. Up to the close of busi ness hours. Cashier Robert W. Schmecr had not signified his acceptance of any of the bids. Among the deals reported from the country were the jales of the Boechc lot of CO bales at Aurora to Lachmund & Co., of Salem, at 9 cents, and the sale of the A. W. Cooper lot of 36 balca at Independence at Sa cents to Kola Ncls, of Albany. Sweet Potatoes Sell Well. The only car-lot shipment that reached the produce dlrtrlct was a car of Southern Cali fornia sweet potatoes, that was nearly 'cleaned out by the close of the day. The demand In oilier lines was bIow and prices w,ere un changed. Bank Clearings.

The strength was spotty and the tone was Irregular at times, with an occasional moderate reaction. The rotation of the demand, however, brought ln.o the advance practically all the Important stocks before the day had passed. There was, besides, a host ot low-priced and minor-grade stocks ranging all the way down from mod erate dividend-payers with Increasing earn ings to warrant expectation of larger divi dends to the grade of securities for which the value of shares beyond that ef the paper oa which the certificates are printed Is question able. Individual transactions were on a very large scale and this and the skillful tactics pursued In the selling to take profits In one quarter of the market while stimulating another quarter by fresh buying were evidences of the large part played by professional operators In the market.
