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

Bank Statement Today.
Money Replenished.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. There was an ani
mated and buoyant speculation today which
fully restored the appearance of the latter
part of last week of a reviving of general In
terest In the stock market. 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.
Special stress was laid upon the prospect of
a very strong bank return tomorrow, the fore
cast of the currency movement indicatlnc a
balance of receipts from the interior of up

Very large receipts are known to have oc
curred from Canadian funds. Besides the

tion, the Sub-Treasury showed the extraordi
nary debit balance today of $2,329,000. made
up of pension payments. Government disburse
ments for transportation of mall and the
current redemption of banknotes. With the
incoming flood of funds from various sources.
It is not surprising that the large banks should
have placed very heavy sums In the call-loan
market.
Discounts cased on Paris, sterling advanced
