T
Future of Potato Market Is
Unsatisfactory.
TOO MUCH POOR STOCK
About 75,000 Sacks or Common
Grade Potatoes in State, for Which
There Is No Market More
Activity in Hops.
POTATOES Poor outlook for un
sold stock In Oregon.
VEGETABLES Market well sup
piled nnd demand Active
MOHAIR So-cral email sales re-'
ported.
HOPS Over 700 bales bought In
two days.
POULTRT High prices check de
mand. EGGS Too wide a range is quoted.
BUTTER Small receipts Irom Cali
fornia. CHEESE Market has upward ten
dency. There is a very poor outlook for the holdei
of the 250 cars or more of potatoes that re
main untold In this state. San Francisco
has been the bent and almost the only out
side market for Oregon Burbanks. but con
dltiena thfire now and the promise of the
future are far from encouraging.
"I can see absolutely no relief at all In
the future of the potato market." said W.
H. McCorquodale yeMordny. "Growcro of
strictly fancy Mock, if they" hold until very
late, say toward June, may set a very
slight Increase over present prJcoF. but the
txtra labor they; would have to put In in
resproutinsr and also the extra low In shrink
age from now on would offset the difference.
"All the Southern markets have a very
heavy undertone, aa for every four cars re
ceived two probably are disposed of at market
prices and two are Huffed off at reduced
figures on account of poor quality. For this
roason It does not take very long; for a
large quantity to accumulate there and the
natural result is a big cut in prices to
get rid of them.
"From now on the only potatoes wanted,
irom the present outlook, will be strictly
gllt-edg clock, which means much more
careful tortlng and brighter colored potatoes
than have alroady been shipped. The farmer
that hasn't got good stock is certainly 'up
against it." There are probably, at a rough
estimate, 75,000 sacks of Inferior, Ill-Hhaped
oiatoes left in the state that nivr could
be sld except on a shortage down South
r in uomc other state?. Whnt the holder
f these potatoes arc going to do with them
1 would not care to prophecy The orders
mlng In now are very limited and no
one i buying at all oxcopt on a stray
order or so."
3IORK DOING IN HOPS.
Over 700 Bale Have Been Bought in Ihe
rM Two Days.
The hep market has taken on a considerable
nfgree of life in the last two days and over
hV& bales have changed hands. The price
jid ranged from S to 9 cents. The heaviest
purchaser was the E. Clemens Horot Com
liany, who secured over 300 bales at the top
price. Several of the Portland dealers have
"received orders and more animation is hown
about the local offices than has been the
raw for several week.
The Horst purchases constated of the W.
L. Jerman lot of 126 bales at Woodburn.
the "Woodcock & Leslie lot of 75 bales at
Hubbard, George L. Fry's 90 bales at the
fame place, and the Vincent lot at "Wood
burn. For all these, 94 cento was paid.
A. J. Kay bought two lots of baby hops,
aggregating a carload, at 8 cent from Irish,
of Marquam, and Fuquen, of Gattton.
Joseph Harris, of Salem, secured the Mc
Kay lot, 123 bales, at Champoeg, at fcVa and
9 cents.
The Tom Fcnncll lot of 325 bale at Inde
pendence, was bought by T. A. Rlggs, of
Dallas, at 94 cent.
The same price wa paid bv the J. "W.
Seavey Hop Company to George Perkins, of
North Yamhill, for 79 bales. Mr. Perkins
also put 33 bales of hl crop into the Durst
pool.
A lot cf 74 bales of Oregon City hops was
takrn In by a Portland dealer at 7 and 8
cents.
Oscar Wcldner. of North Yamhill, has
closed contracts on the West Side in the
past ten day for about 1000 bales at 9 and
10 cents for Eastern account.
POULTRY IS WEAKER.
Buyers Object to the High Prices Asked.
The Egg Situation.
Th-ire Is a weaker feeling In the poultry
market receipts of chickens have been
quite large for two day and buyers do
not take hold of them readily, claiming tho
high prices interfere with retail sales. Prices
were no lowor yesterday, but If arrivals con
tinue heavy, it In likoly that quotations will
have to be reduced.
There was a difference of opinion as to
the condition of the egg market and 15c.
184c and 16c were all quoted an tho
actual value. Some few outside orders were
being filled, but most of the trade reported
that their telegrams met with no response.
From the appearance of the street, local
supplies are accumulating, and It Is also
evident that buying by the city trade is very
light.
A small shipment of California butter ar
rived yesterday and was offered at 274
cents. City creameries reported trade slower.
Oregon full-cream cheese has become very
scarce, and a further adance Is predicted by
come handlers.
Bank Clearings Now and a War Ago.
Portland's bank clearings for the week end
ing Thursday, as compiled by Bradstrccts,
show a decrease of 4.9 per cent as compared
with the corresponding week of last year, the
figures for the past week being $4,908,999.
This does not indicate any actual decline in
the clearings, which have steadily gained this
year, but is rather due to the unusually
heavy clearings of the ame week a year
ago, which amounted to $5,225,015, and were
then CO per cent larger than for the corre
sponding week in 1904. The large volume of
exchanges in this week of 1103 was .caused
by the transfer of checks making tip the
J 1,000. 000 deposit made by Henry P. Scott
& Co.. the Delaware bankers, to the stock
holders of the Columbia River & Northern
Railroad for purchase of that property. The
clearings on March 6. 1603, amounted to $2,
OS5.47S. Greea Prodnce in Active Demand.
A car of oranges and a car of cabbago
and cauliflower arrived yesterday. A large
shipment of California asparagus was re
ceived by express and placed on sale at
lOfllc. A email shipment of extra-fancy
asparagus was also a-ecelved and ouoted
at $0 per 15-pound box. Celery is cleaning
mm
up rapidly at full prices. Cauliflower la also
very firm. An exceedingly active movement
is reported In both the fruit and vegetable
lines.
Small Sales of 'Mohair.
There are some sign of activity In the
mohair market; though the business bolng
done Is very small as yet. Two or three
small lots were disposed of this week at
25 cents. x

INFLUENCE OF RUMORS
Professional Operations Arc on a
Iargc Scale The Reading Pool
Again Takes the Long;
Side of the Market.
NEW YORK. March 9. Speculation In the
stock msrket took on a cowlderable degree
of animation today, the volume of dealings
expanding again to over a million share.
There were many striking movement, but
the majority of the were In the class of
specialties and In stock which nave figured
In the operation of pools and pndcr the in
flutnce of rumors and mysterlr la the pail
dealing. An upward movement of moderate
proportion, however, was fairly comprehen
sive Yesterday" vigorous advances and the com
prehensive freedom from selling pressure where
those advance occurred evidently had a con
vincing effect on speculative sentiment and
large professional operation made their ap
ptarance In today' market. There ws a
marked revival of rumors which have lain
dormant as active fire In the market during
the reactionary period. The so-called merger
project was brought forward again Into at
tention. Buying of Colorado fuel was alleged
to bf for the purpose of the control of the
United States Steel Corporation.
The pool In Reading was said to have re
sumed operations on the long side of th
market, thus removing tho depressing influence.
of . that tstock's weakness from the general
market. There were renewed allusion to
the supposed Important developments In pros
pect in the affairs of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company and In the copper Industry. A
study of the distribution of the day's largest
dealings and of It widest advance wilt re
veal how large a part influences of this
character played In the day operation. Tho
upward nuh of fire points in Alchbon late
ywrterday was a large feature In the revival
of speculative confidence but the backwardnops
of that stock today under realizing had no
restraining effect on the advancn elsewhere.
Pennsylvania and the United States Steel
fctocks were inclined to be heavy, aa tho
companies are reported to be contemplating
additional band issues. Profit-taklag made
tiome ImpreMlon on tho day's extreme gain,
but the markot rallied again and closed active
and firm.
