There is apparently no end to the demand
for hops? About 1000 bales changed hands in
this market yesterday. Most of the trans
actions were between dealers, though a con
siderable quantity was bought in the country.
The heaviest buyer in this city was H. L.
Hart, who secured close to COO bales at prices
Tanging from 9 to 10 cents. The largest
part of Mr. Hart's purchases werj; from other
dealers.
The United States National Hank, which put
600 bales on the market a few days ago. has
sold 272 bales of the lot to M. II. Gllberti-on.
representative of S. & F. Uhlmann, of New
Tork, and the hops were taken In yestorday.
The price paid was 8 centa. It was ru
mored In the market that thp bank had sold
another part of the same lot, amounting to
127 bales, to Mr. Gllbcrtson at 10 cents, but
this could not be confirmed. There is still
another lot of 201 bales In the bunch on
-which bids have also been made. All these
hops were grown bj' Chinamen at Independ
ence on land leased from Krebs Bros.
An extremely firm market prevails In the
country, where the growers' Ideas have been
elovated to some extent by the news of the
activity here and also by the offers of 10
and 10 vents that have latoly been made
to some of the holders. Nine cents Is now
demanded for almost everything of a low
grade, while the few holders of cholec Qual
ity are looking for better prices than have
yet been paid. Only occasionally is a sale
reported at a low price, as the Lovlnger lot
of 44 bales at Eugene, whleh T. A. Llvcsley
& Co. bought at 7 cents.
In some quarters It Is believed that the
present buying movement is solely to fill Jan
uary orders and Is, therefore, about at an
end, while other dealers stand by their opin
ion that the shorts have oversold and will not
cease to buy as long as the goods arc avail
able. The unsold crop In thin state must be
reduced to something like 20,000 bales by this
time, which reduces the visible supply to
alarmingly low figures for any short sellers
who have not covered yet, if there are any.
of thero In that fix.
A srivatc letter received from New York
yesterday stated that there were 20,000 bales
of "states" about to be thrown on that mar
ket by disgusted growers, who have :en prices
steadily declining there while they ad-anced In
Oregon. A consigned lot of 600 bales of Wash
ington hops was also on that market, and
these things produced a weak undertone,
which It was feared might affect the situation
here. There has been no activity In the Cali
fornia market In the last few days, according
to wire advices received yesterday.
The following table shows the movement of
hops at the port of New York up to the close

COAST SALMON SITUATION.
Bockcye Holders letermlned to Get Better
Prices This Year.
Prices on future cockeye salmon have not
yet been considered by Pugct Sound pack
ers, according to a letter from a prominent
shipping house, and are not likely to come up
for determination for some time yet. Con
tinuing the letter ays:
"There seems to be a general feeling among
the packers, however, that last year's prices
were very unsatisfactory. Some of them are
under the impression that half-pounds ought
to be a dollar a dozen, tails $1.50 and flats
$1.65, going back to the traditional difference
of 1 tie between talis and flats. These views
are pleasant to speculate upon, and there is
usually some nice prospect for the new sea
son's policy brought out at the beginning of
each new year, which, like the New Year's
resolutions and the 'pledge, are generally
made to be broken In a new place. However,
it Is more than likely that last year's prices
will be Increased, and it Is not likely that
such a fierce scrap will be made for business
as was done the last two or three years.
"The Sockeye holders seem determined to
make good their policy of getting a higher
price, and if they hold the goods nothing can
prevent them from getting the figures set. It
looks very peculiar to see the Columbia River
pack sold at 90c for half-pounds and the
cockeyes bringing $L Indeed. It is reported
that Xemlng Intends to .put his half-pounds to
1.05 very soon.
"Most everything in the salmon line seems
to bo pretty well cleaned up on the coast,
with the exception of what few cockeyes are
tied up on account of the prices and the
few Alaska reds that are still being held In
San Francisco. Chums are all gone and at
a premium; pinks seem to be in about the
same fix. Nearly, if not all, of the stiver
Aides have been cleaned out. Half-pound sll
vcrsldes particularly seem to have been in
very good demand. The last of ours were
disposed of a phort time ago, and we have
many inquiries for the same."
POTATO MARKET WEAK.
Shippers Reduce Their Bids la the Facp of
Depression at San Francisco.
Weakness again characterises the potato
market. San Francisco, which sets the pace,
is not willing to pay up to former prices on
Oregon Burbanks and as a consequence, deal
ers here have reduced their bids. They are
now willing to pay only 7075 cents for strict
ly fancy offerings and common stock they do
not seem to -want at any price. Fifty cents
is said to be a fair quotation on the less
desirable grades.
"An ovensupply of potatoes is staring the
trade in the face," said a leading shipper
yesterday, "and I expect to buy Oregon stock
at 25 or 30 cents before the season is over.
Only a small percentage of the Oregon crop
this year was choice, and what is left cannot
compete at San Francisco a gainst the" Sacra
mento rivers. Immense supplies arc still
stored along the banks of the Sacramento,
and every time there is any improvement
these will be fed to the market before the
Oregon shippers can get action. Portland
speculators arc carrying large stocks, and
these will likewise be used up before addi
tional supplies are bought in the country.
"The best thing for the farmers to do who
are carrying, potatoes is to sort them over.
sell the bet and dump the remainder or feed
them to their stock."
Poultry and Egg Price Unchanged.
There were no new features In the country
produce markets. Receipts of Chickens were
Just about equal to the demand, and prices
held steady.
Eggs were unchanged, the bulk of business
being done at 28 cents.
Butter continues easy in same quarters,
though the city creameries are carrying no
more top-grade butter than they want, and
they look, for no change in the market for a
month ycu
Cereal Market Dull.
The wheat market 16 very quiet. The ten
dency was rather easior yesterday and lower
prices were quoted by some dealers. Oats and
Isarlcy are very strong, but the volume of
business passing is not large.. .
Prefth Produce Slow.
The only heavy arrival In the fresh produce
market was a car of sweet potatoes. A car
of celery Is due tomorrow. Trading was slow
yesterday, the weather again operating against
business.

MERGER RUMORS
Used to Boost Specialties in
New York Stock Market.
PROFIT-TAKING ELSEWHERE
Union Pacific Is Sent to a Xcw Icc-
ord "Level Constant Pressure
in Amalgamated Copper
Causes n Break.
NEW YORK. Jan 17. The feature of to
day's stock market was the revival of specu
lative operations in a number of stocks
which have been exploited In the speculation
of the immediate past and which passed
through a period of profit-taking subsequent to
that speculation. There was a lively renewal
In the same connection of a great variety of
rumors, mostly pointing to combinations and
-mergers which have already played a prin
cipal part in the advance effected In those
f-toeks. The capacity demonstrated by the
movement for the completion of a digestive
process of profit-taking In the market and a
Hill further advance In the stocks affected
made a considerable Impression on specula
tive sentiment. The reversion of the market
operation to these stocks was accompanied
by constant profit-taking at other 'points of
the list. This extended to many stocks which
showed strength In the earlier part of the
day. so that they were made to yield their
gains in the subsequent dealings.
The most conspicuous example of the re
version of the speculation to former channels
was that of Union Pacific This was subject
ed to some further extensive profit-taking in
the earlier part of the day. but It broke
through this restraint later and nvc to a
new record level, above 159. The smelting
and metal stocks were another example of
this tendency in the market. Smelting and
,Lad both rising to new record levels. Amal
gamated- Copper was kept down or forced
back when It did advance by a constant
stPMm of realizing sales.
The news concerning these properties was
plentiful, but was entirely In. the form of
vague rumors. A settlement or the Montana
copper war. a merger of the smelting and lead
companies, and a gigantic combination of all
the copper raining, smelting and allied metal
Industries are examples of the character of
those rumors. There was an enormous dis
tribution of "telegraphic correspondence from
Boston alt day In connection wlth the mar
ket campaign.
The movement in Colorado Fuel was of sim
ilar character, the rumors regarding that
property pointing variously . to Its absorption
In the proposed Southern Iron merger and In
the United States Steel Corporation and a
purely speculative campaign in the market
here of the same origin as the recent opera
tions in the Southern iron stocks.
The actual news of the day was not im
portant beyond the continued heavy accumula
tion of cash resources In New York. Money
rates, in consequence, continued to work
easier. Interest attaches to the probable ac
tion of the Bank of England authorities on
the discount rate tomorrow, owing to the op
erations of the bank this week being designed
to advance the open market rates, which is a
uttual preliminary to an advance In the bank
rate but the bank has beefi able to secure the
supplies of gold In the market this wrek.'and.
this being the case, an advance in the bank
rate Is les probable.
The cenMant pressure upon Amalgamated
Copper proved too strong for the resisting
powers of that stock. -Its shade break later
In the day decided the course of the rest of
the market, which had been subjected to
steady profit-taking under cover of the ad
vances In the specialties. The price of cop
per In London fell harply and some appre
hension was . expressed of X reantlen in th
market for other metals.
Attention was attracted by the remarks of
President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern,
asserting that the Nation was living profligate
ly, and some selling was said to be due to
the tenor of the address. There were rallies
from the late break In sympathy with the
downward plunge In Copper and the closing
tone was neady.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $0,009,000. United States bonds were
all unchanged on call.

NEW YORK. Jan. 17. The Iron Age tomor
row will say:
The United States Steel Corporation has
purchased from the valley furnaces. 85,000 tons
of bessemer pig for delivery during the first
quarter at $17 25, and aim 40.000 tons for
delivery during the second quarter at an ad
vance. Negotiations for about 50.000 tons
additional for the second quarter are pending.
When the latter surchaje has been consum
mated, practically all the surplus bememer
and basic pic Iron in the valleys for the first
half of the year will be out of the market.
The cast Iron pipe Interests have been the
heaviest buyers of pig Iron lately. The gen
eral foundry trade has bought largely, and yet,
particularly for the second quarter, prices are
not quite, as high as have been de'manded
lately and as are being freely paid for the
first quarter delivery.
Among the rail purchases by the larger rail
roads are 20,000 tons for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which carries the total require
ments of the system close to 20O.0CO tons, and
10.000 tons additional for the Gould lines.
The structural saops are booking a good
deal of work. A fair "percentage of the ca
pacity of the shops of the steel corporation
will be needed for the extensions and better
ments of Its own slants.
The. Eastern bar mills are facing a difficult
situation. The Industry has not been pros
perous and yet a demand for an advance in
wages of about 12 per cent 'has been made
