MOT TMDE QUIET
Better Movement Is Expected
Later in the Season.

Hcvival of. Export Flour Demand
Would Strengthen Prices In the
Northwest, Where Stocks Arc
Small Foreign Conditions.

ed later In season.
HOPS Market very firm and active.

POULTRY Strong market lor

LIVESTOCK Cattle coining forward
slowly.
DRESSED MEATS Veal, pork- and
beef strong.
PROVISIONS Advances In hams,
bacon and short clears.
Local "wheat prices do not show any ma
terial change from those quoted a week ago.
"While the Chicago and Liverpool markets
have advanced somewhat, San Francisco has
ahown a, decline, owing to the wet weather
and .better prospects for tho coming crop.
How thfr weather conditions can affect 1003
wheat, however. It Is difficult to sec. The dull
nets of the California market Is explained by
the tact tliat the rolllj have shut down owing
to the lack of export business. Sufficient
stocks of wheat are carried there for flour
grinding for present homo requirements, but
It is believed more will be needed for this
purpose before the new crop Is ready. Any
revival of tho export flour demand, even a
small one, would quickly strengthen the po
sition of wheat holders In the Northwest.
Stocks of unsold grain are small and In O. R.
fc 2. territory very little Is to be had.
Besides a continuance of the past firm
ness, there are no new development In the
markets for oats and barley. Stocks are not
heavy and trading is only moderately active.
The latest weekly foreign crop summary
of Broomhall'u says:
"United Kingdom The condition of the
crops continues fair. France The crops are
in fair condition; supplies of good wheat are
very scarce and there Is more talk of im
porting foreign grain. Germany Snow has
fallen and the recent weather has Improved
tne condition of tho crops, but still some com
plaints are heard; there is also talk of a
ehort acreage, as well as reports stating that
loreign purchases will continue to be made
after March 1. Hungary Snow has fallen.
Roumanla The condition of the crops is fa
vorable. Russia The weather is milder, with
rains In the south, otherwise the situation ia
favorable: the movement is fair."
MANY HOPS SOLD.
Market Is Again Lively, and Full Prices Arc
Paid.
. jrh nop market was lively -asuin' yesterdirr-
though the transactions did not reach the
record volume of those on Tuesday, when
close to 2000 bales changed hands. Reporto
were received yesterday of sales aggregating
ji oaies. ana it is believed 200 or 300 bales.
more were disposed of at points up the val
ley. Besides this, a number of transactions
took place "between -local dealers.
At the rate that hops have been selllnir in
! the last few days, the Oregon suddIv will
not last more than a week or so longer,
as well-posted men in tho trade say there are
only 12,000 to 14,000 bales left in rowers
I hands in the state. This explains well enough
the pressure to buy on tho part of many of
tne dealers. It Is also probable that some
of them are trying to anticipate the consign
ment plan that M. H. Durst has submitted to
the growers, which, if carried out, would
take a good ehare of the hops out of th
country and leave only an Insignificant quan-
Itity remaining to fill tho requirements of the
I shorts.
Julius Plncus. of Lachmund & Plncus. of
j Salem, believes the Durst plan would be an
excellent thing for the market. "'It is
grather late to work it now." he said, "but
if it goes through it is bound to have a
I good effect on prices of the coming cron. I
I hope it will be successful."
The heaviest buyer yesterday was the iz
Clemens Horst Company, which secured "on
Ibales from Joe Harris, of Salem, at jiu. ..
-.
land paid Rubens, of Fairfield, 10 cents for
90-bale lot. H. J. Ottenhelmer bourtit th
Armes lot of 131 bales at Woodburn at 9V4
loents. Lachmund & Plncus made several
purchases aggregating 130 bales at 0 and 94
cents, -j.no demand for old hops continued
Igood and one lot of 100 bales was disposed of
for C cents. The hops belonged to Martin
Vdams, of Overton, and the purchaser was
Backus, of Milwaukic.
I

Strong Demand In That Section for

GERVAIS. Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.) There
have been two sales of 1005 hops In this sec
tion In -the past few days. Elzard Dupius
sold 123 bales at 10 cents to McKlnley Mitch
ell, and John Halemann 25 bales at 9 cents to
Salem dealers. These lots were of choice
quality. There yet remains several ' more
large lots, which the growers are holding for
advanced prices, and dealers are negotiating
for several other lota hereabouts at ruling
prices. There Is qcjte a demand, at a price,
for olds and cheaper grades: in fact, the best
demand appears to be for the cheaper kinds.
The weather conditions are the very best
and bopgrowers are rapidly clearing up their
yards of old vines and burning them. There
will he no hopyards plowed up In this sec
tion. There are fewer changes In tbore rent
ing yards thsn usual, bur a number of new
yards are finding renters. John C Barnes
has rented of Julius Wolf, of SUverteon. 50
a crw of growing hops, or what Is known as
the Belgian Hill yard. The roots appear to
have come through the Winter in excellent
shape. .

Uncertainty Over Strike Mat
ter a Repressive Factor.
STOCK MARKET VERY DULL
. i
Outlook for Another Poor Bank
Statement Saturday Rumors of
Gold Engagements TJafoundcd.
Amalgam a ted Is Pressed.
NEW TORK. Feb. 7. There was further
falling off of business at the Stock Exchange,
today, aad the general list fell Into a rendi
tion, of neglect. A flip of speculative activity
In a few of the recent favorites redeemed the
market from a condition of mid-Summer dull
ness. . Aa It was, the ticker was practically at
standstill at some periods of tse dy. There
was no marked evidence of depression, but
there was equally an abiencc tf demand.
Less apprebe&Moa was felt over the outcome
of the wage controversy In the coal fields
and that feature ceased to Induce any active
selling of stocks. But it is realized that the
definite decision, of the question of a strike
must remain suspended until the outcome of
the consultations arranged for next week in
New York. Until that definite, outcome, the
uncertainty of the matter is expected to ex
ercise a repressive .Influence on speculation.
This probability had as much to do as any
one thing with the unwillingness to make
speculative commitments ia the market.
The outlook is for another poor bank state
ment on Saturday and with a holiday follow
ing on Monday, the Inclination to defer ipec
ulatlve operations is emphasized. The sub
Treasury's absorption of funds since Saturday
rote to nearly $3,000,000. according to today's
statement of operations. There Is general
agreement also among bankers that last Sat
urday's bank statement understated the de
crease in cash, which makes it probable that
the effect wilt be thrown over onto this
week's statement under the working of the
system of averages.
Foreign exchange continues to rule firm
and the report gained circulation this morn
ing that gold bad been engaged for export
to a large amount. Stocks weakened upon the
rumor, which proved unfounded, however.
Discounts were firm in London and Berlin, but
eased slightly at Paris.
The expanding tendency of bank. loans here
Is attributed partly to the recall of credits
placed here by Interior institutions while
money rates were firm. The present period of
the year, however. Is one of normal loan ex
panKon, owing to the custom of deferring
large financial operations at this season,
when currency la likely to be flowing back to
reserve centers. The likelihood of require
ments -upon available capital Tor Intended
financial projects comes in for consideration
In the money market and banking outlook.
The few movements of any note In today's
market were due to special causes. Those at
fectlng the Hill roads and the Pacifies went
well understood. Amalgamated Copper was
subjected to some pressure, presumably by the
yielding tendency of prices of the metal.
The closing showed an easy tone and the mar
ket generally was quiet and In spots easier.
Bonds were Irregular, Total sales, par value,
$4,163,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

WHEAT SELLING ACTIVE
yum CLOSES "WITH A IOSS IX
THE CHICAGO 3IARKET.
Caused by Xews From Australia of
Increase In Crop of
That Country.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7. During the early part
of the session, the feeling In the wheat pit
was steady. Numerous reports of damage to
the crops In Nebraska. Kansas and Missouri
wero received, but these dispatches did not
offset the fact that prices in Liverpool did hot
reflect the interest shown in yesterday's mar
ket here. A cablegram from Argentina re
porting a reduction of 13 per cent in the
surplus for export in that country encouraged
the bears. Later In the day, however, a dis
patch was received from Australia placing the
wheat crop of that Island at 68.000,000, against
53. COO. 00O bushels last year. This caused ac
tive selling by commission houses and prices
declined steadily, closing almost at the low
est point of the day. May opened unchanged
to a shade higher, at &3QS&c sold between
84T40S3C, and Sdc cloning off CSc, at
84GS3c
Liberal local receipts and a poor demand
for cash grain weakened the corn market.
May closed c off at 44244c
The eats market was steady. May closed
unchanged- at S0?c
Provisions were strong because of a 5c ad
vance in the price of live hogs. At the close
May pork was up- 17c lrd was up 2

San Francisco Market Is Again
Demoralized-
POOR OREGONS UNSALABLE
Stocks Are Accumulating- and Spoil
ing In the Warehouses and on
Wharves limited Demand for
Strictly Fancy Burbanks.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 7. (Special.)
Large dealers In potatoes report a greatly de
pressed market. The lower grades of river
and Oregon stock are almost unsalable with
the quantity accumulating and spoiling on the
wharves and In the warehouses. There l a
limited demand for strictly fancy, but even
that grade shows easiness. About five car
loads of Oregon potatoes arc on the railroad
track awaiting sale and a considerable part

COUNTESS STANDS FIRM
Deaf to Appeals ot Do Castcllane
Family for Peace.
PARIS. Feb. 7. Strong- efforts con
tinue to be made In behalf of the Cua
tcllano family- to bring: about the
abandonment of the divorce suit begun
by the Countess de Castellane, but up
to the present the desired result has
not been achieved. An attempt made

lute divorce has also been unsuccess

no further necessity for the defendant
to appear unless the Judge decides that
his evidence is essential. The pro
nouncement of a decree releases any
contract relating- to marriage settle
ment, each party resuming- control of
his or her own property. A divorced
woman may not remarry within ten
month3 after a judgment, while an
appeal against a decision must be
lodged within six months.
A report which cannot be confirmed
says that Count Bonl lias entered a
counter pica, claiming- heavy damages.
