POULTRY Good demand .predicted BUTTER Steady and unchanged. L kc the price of all other commodities In the grocery line, coffees, teas and spices are fctrong, with an upward tendency. All grades of coffees arc quoted 'very Ann at New York. Central American coffees arc from six week to two months late in arriv ing at San Francisco, and the market there Is up from to i of a cent per pound, with very -short supplies. The supplies are particularly light on ordinary and low-grade coffees, and there is practically no standard Salvador in importers hands, as It goes right Into consumption as noon as It arrives. Low-grade tens continue very firm In all markets, and the prospects favor high prices at the opening of tho market for all sorts, Japan, China. Ceylon and India teas. The spice markets have also of late taken quite an upward jump, and tho trade looks for a still higher range -of values. A good ehare of the Increase Is no doubt due to scarcity, but a part of It is also occasioned by the fact that sliver had advanced materially. STRONG DEMAND FOR OLD HOPS. Nearly Every Denier Is Looking for 1001 Crop Market, Conditions Abroad. The most interesting feature of The hop market yesterday was the strong demand for 3 004s. Nearly all tho dealers were out look ing for olds, and Klaber. "Wolf & Netter, who bought the big Krebs lot, had numerous offers on them. Thte firm was also looking for oUicr purchases of tho same kind. Stocks of old hops In thin state. It is said, amount to about 1700 "bales. The Shields lot of 09 bales of olds at Gervale was -sold yesterday at a price sold to be C cents or better. The name of the purchaser was not known, but It was believed to be Page & Tooze, of Woodburn, Among the transactions in 1005s was the purchase of the three Ridings lots at Marquam amounting to SO bales, which IClabcr. "Wolf &. Netter paid 1014 rente for. Seavcy & Metzler bought twp lots, one of 70 bales at 8 cents from a Chinaman on the Core ranch at Tual atin, and a 34-bale lot at Sherwood, for, which hry paid "6 cents. :Thcf6' were tPWIoa mere of the Gore hops which another dealer bought and rejected. The T. D. Llhnfon lot at Eugene, Is again reported .said, this time to M. W. Gllbcrtson, at 8 cents. There are 122 bales In the lot. W. P. Cheshire, of Eu gene, sold. ISO bales to T. - A. Llveslcy & Co . at cither 8 or 0 cents. J. W. Seavcy, who was down from Eugene yesterday nays the hopgrowers in that sec tion are busy cleaning and grubbing their yards, and" will devote Just as murh attention to cultivation this year as last. If the price is not right, however, there may be some hops that will not be picked. ' The latest mall advices from London re port a quiet market there. Manger & Hen Icy, London dealers, say of the trade In the past year: The large crop of 1803 was grown without the usual trouble and difficulties of aphis bMght, washing and sulphuring being almost unknown. The result was a yield on 48. 311" acrc of 059,913 cwts., or 14.21 cwts. per acre. Choice hope wore very few, not mcro than 10 per cent of the crop. Prices started very low. choice hops 50s to 65s per cwt copper hope 42s to D2s. low hops 25s to 35e. A very rapid demand set In, and continued all the way through. A steady rise in prices of 15s to 20s per cwt. has taken place, and the crop is practically absorbed, not more than 3 per cent being in growers hands. It is estimated that the loss in the production of tho hop crop In this country this year will exceed half a million. Bernard Blng writes from Nuremberg, Ger many, as follows: There has been a very good trade on our market elnce my last report and the firm ten dency 1 reported lately has been fully main talced. Demand Wotli from exporters and Ger man breweries was very active; it Is esti mated that more than 0000 bales have been cleared off from our market during the last four -weeks. Stocks are considerably reduced, as receipts .are very light. WHEAT MARKET EASIER. Eastern Oats Offered at Lower Trice No Advance In Barley Expected. The wheat market was very dull yester day and the tone was weak. Oats are still quoted steady at top figures, but .continued offerings of Eastern oats at lower prices check any tendency to advance farther, not withstanding the'' limited supplies in the Northwest. The barley market Is unchanged, but a somewhat easier tendency Is noticeable In view of the better crop prospects In Cali fornia, which at least may operate against any rise In value here. The hay "market Is very quiet and w.cak. The following table exhibits the American- visible wheat supply as compared with prc mous years: Bushels. Decrease.

Slight Improvement at Saa Francisco. Steamer Receipt Light. Although the San Francisco potato market was in spmewhat better shape yesterday, local chlboers would, not hold out much hope that the Improvement was more than temporary. ceaicr naa iamomia aaices wuicn me: 'Vc look for"no advances thin reason, and advise you to go slow In buying. There is absolutely no future for ordinary grades. The docks arc loaded down with river, and there 1s abso'utcly no demand for them. San Fran cisco is alto loaded up on onions, and tbey won't tell." Whaujsome of the shippers here cannot understand! is the extremely wide range that prevails aifrSan Francisco between Salinas and Oregon Bsrlwnlus. Not much green produce wax brought, up on the steamer, owing; to the- scarcity below. Head lettuce was quoted at 374 -cents and artichokes-. at $1,35. Other vegetable were unchanged. A fine lot of tangerines arrived on the steamer and were quoted at $1.S5 per half box. A car of Granges and a car of sweet potatoes also arrived. 'KGGS AKE STEADIER. Cool "Weather and Small Shipments North Help the Market. Eggs were quoted oil the way from 224 to 2 cents, on Front street yesterday, with, sales being made at both prices, Tho colder turn of the weather and a small demand from Se attle encouraged some dealers to abstain from making tho customary dally redaction. On the whole; stocks' cleaned up airly well, and the market was steadier. When the poultry market opens 'today a con siderable degree of activity is expected. One of the largest retailers said yesterday that his surplus had been worked oft and he wonld buy freely if Front street did -not shove the price up on him. There was no change in the butter market for. cither city or country make. ' Bask Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings.

Market Is Over. TRADING IS LESS ACTIVE Ilarrlnian Pacifies Helped -by- De cember Earnings' 'Statement and Report of Control Of the " ' IlllnoIstCcntral- . , NEW- TORK. "Feb. 3. The snct striking feature of the zaarket today, was the de creased rate ot activity. It is miny weeks since the aggregate "dealings for a day have fallen much btlow tho 1.500.000-ahare mark. Tho total sales today were about 1.000.000 shares. Half the day's business was done during the. am hour. The reason for the falling off was. clearly enough the completion of nccectitoas selllrx, so far -as was. immedi ately urged, and a Clelncllnatlon to renew any large buying. There was a lively selling movement during the courre of the first hour. iSVhen the dullness of Jhe market gave notice mai scuing prcrsurc was suoaming. mere nu a slow upward swing which became more lan guid ths higher the level ot prices reached. The anthracite coal carriers were equally weak with the bituminous group reflecting the fears that the labor trouble, while inaugurated among the soft coal miners, would Involve also the anthracite regions. The failure ot confirmation of the many rumors of Important deals proves trying to the speculative temper, owing to the very large share played by rumors In the most aggressive advances ot the recent past. The prospects of the money market also are regarded as not calculated to foster an ac tive speculation. The Inauguration of an outgo ot gold is generally expected to oc cur later and to reach considerable propor tions. The email engagement today for ship ment to South America, is evidence of the control of a gold supply In this market by for eign bankers. Meantime, the credit require ments are expanding the loan department et the banks and the influx of cash from the interior is likely to become less as the sea son advances. Sub-Treaxury operations also continue to make large inroads on tho sup plies of the banks. The Wabash and the Hani man Pacifies made good showings ot 'net earnings today. Attention is called to the fact' thai since the first of tho year, new bond Issues have reached the sum of nearly $1CO,000,000, of which nearly $SO,O0".OCK) arc railroad Iwues. The demands thus Indicated upon capital throw light upon the course of the loan. Item of the bank. The Hill roads made ready headway sgalut deprcssioc and the TIarrlman Pa cifies were helped by their December earnings and by the report that union Pacific had ac quired control of Illinois Central.
