writer tho market will open. Seme buyers
are talking of 23 to 25 cents as the projKT
vjilwee. but the grower want SO cents. The
' rale made fo far have been from mutton
Mhcared feerr around 23 ccnte. Shearing will
gin in the Valley early in May. The clip
Umatd at about' 2,000,000 iounds, the
average output. Owing to the high price
asked fw hheep, not so many in proportion'
Imvt Im-oh id owl of the Valley as In East
n Grgm. Th quality of the Valley clip
will be Rood, owing to the jniM Winter.
A 4a.000-pound clip in Morrow County was
centra etod for lat week at 20 cents, the only
future business reported in that section this
ean. Tilts Is the price that the Kastern
Oregon growers are demanding, but the few
buyers In the fteM have btn offering much
lrn. In the trad, the opinion prevails that
tuiee will haw to route down to a much
lower banis before buyers can take liold in
rarn'-.Tt. As a local dealer oxpresfd it yes
terday: "Nearly all the deal or lost money lost
year, some of them vory heavily, and they
vrltt operate more cautiously this year, and
ore already doing je. withdrawing their
buyers from the districts In the Southwest,
whore the growers are asking high prices.
The market will have to opon considerably
below the closing of last year, or there win
not be much doing. To come out with any
profit at all. It will be necessary for dealers
to buy Valley wools at 23 ct-nts and Eastern
Oregon on a 6coured basis of CO cent", which
ia equivalent to lC?i cents in the greafe."
It Is feared that thore will be heavy loss of
goats in the Valley on account of the cold
wave. Shearing bogan lat week on many
farms, and the low temperature may kill oft
many of the goats. The Mohair market is
quiet.
nOP MAJULET OPENS QUIET.
Several Dealers Report Eastern Orders.
Low Prices Paid in New York. -
A few new Eastern orders for hops were
resorted yesterday, but the week opened quiet
ly in the local market. Several fairly large
deals arc paid to be under way.
The depressed condition of the Eastern mar
ket is shown by the prices lately paid for
New York states. The Waten-ille Times, of
March 0 says:
The few holders about here arc not willing
to accept the prices offering, but are in hope
r an advance later. Wc hear that the hop
left In growers hands in Schoharie County
are bringing all the way from 7c to 10c
The Cooporstown Journal, of March J, tald:
The local bop market during the past week
is reported to have bcon very quiet. From
75 to 100 bales have changed hands at prices
ranging from 5c to 10c
The CoblejklH Times of March 1 said:
There id not much to nay about the local
hop market savo to repeat the same tory
tM for Kevoral weeks past. Tator has bought
a few lota. Darnet has been buying and Smith

BETTER DEMAND FOR EGGS.
Cold Heather Stimulate Local Trade
California Butter Quotations.
The oold weather stimulated the demand
for eggs yesterday, and the local movement
was large. Some fair-sized shipping orders
wore also filled. Tho increased business
strengthened the market and a few of the
dealers advanced their prices, but the gen
eral quotations were 15 and 16 centa.
Poultry prices this week will be governed
by the size of receipts. If chickens come in
tui liberally as they did on Friday and Sat
urday it will be difficult to maintain quota
tions. Butter holds steady with a fair movement.
The cold weather is not likely to have any
effect on tho market, unless it should con
tinue, which is not probable California but
ter, received by the last steamer, is offering
on Front street at 27" cents, which is the
price now quoted in tho San Francisco mar
ket. FIVE CARS OF ORANGES IN.

Five cars of oranges arrived yesterday, and
two more are due Thursday. This la prob
ably all that will be along for some time,
as it has been raining for two days in South
ern California, and this will stop picking. A
car of cabbago and cauliflower and a car of
sweet potatoes also arrived yesterday.
The vegetables brought up by the steamer
Saturday nlgh.t reached Front street yester
day morning, and it was found that much of
the cabbage and cauliflower had frozen while
on the dock. Tho rest of the produco was in
good shape.
WHEAT MARKET FIRMER.

The wheat markets improved all around yes
terday, closing with higher prices in the East
and abroad. Locally the feeling was aleo
sraer. but In tho absenco of offering dealers
did not feel called upon to quote any higher
prices and thcreforo quotations were un
chwffd. Some email inquiry was reported
from California, but the buyers 'of that 'state
are holding back, being under the Impression
that there Is a lot of wheat left in the north
that will have to he sacrificed later. A letter

STOCK PRICES SAG
Market in the Hands of Small
Professionals.
LOWEST PRICES AT CLOSE
Threatening Aspect oC Uie Labor
Controversy .Responsible for tlic
Hesitating Tone Reading
on Downward Grade. .
NEW YORK. March 12. Today's stock
market was left very largely in the hands
of professional operators and those, apparent
ly, of the mailer cUus of room traders who
are rat Is fled to dose up an operation en a
price movement of a moderate fraction. Tha
Saturday movement had to serve to discour
age confidence in the capacity ef the market
for- a further extended advance, in spite of
the appearance of animation after the middle
of last week. As a contequence. new buying
orders In commltslea-bocsc were in moderate
amount with the opening of the week.
Trading was of a mixed complexion from
the opening and prices began to sag pretty
promptly. The 'threatening aspect taken on
the labor controversy In the anthracite fleW
was given credit for the hesitating tone of
the market. The character of the reply of
the operators to the proposition of the min
ers was so uncompromising that It seemed to
effer little room fer further negotiations and
the anticipation gained force that a strike
would result. Stock market comment en the
outlook was confined largely te estimates of
what the c fleet of the strike would be eo
stocks.
No notable effect was produced today out
side of the . persistent tagging tendency of
Reading. The pressure which carried It off
3rL points gave no rign ef urgency, but the
stock wax without effective support at any
time The sympathetic effect of this move
meat oa the general list, ef course was con
siderable The announcement that gold bad been se
cured la London fer shipment to New York
fulftllcd the speculative hopes of last week,
but had no Influence in reviving the market.
The exact amount secured was not authori
tatively announced, but was small at the out
side The prompt effect In the marking up of
the price of geld in London a half penny an
ounce and the rise of a fraction In the dis
count rate in London marked the quick meas
ures ef protection by that market against
further taking for New York account.
New York exchange at Chicago roe to 5
cents premium contrasted with 25c discount
early last week. The sub-Treasury started
the week wliji a contribution of nearly $71)0,
000 to the banks and the monthly tide of pen
sion payment Is now rising to Its maximum.
The sub-Treasury, however, was a creditor
at the clearlag-hecsc this morning.
Reports of gross earnings for the first week
in March ehowed a considerable shrinkage in
the ratio ef Increase over last year as com
pared with the February average ana mere
was a slightly perceptible note of conserva
tism la the weekly discussion by railroad traf
fic officials. The dispute over Chicago and
New York passenger rates and the stormy
weather in the Middle West were subject to
discussion as bearing on railroad earnings.
Oceailenal advances during the day In
stocks which were responsive to deal rumors
did not affect the general tone of the mar
ket and the clesfng generally was near the
lowest level ef the day, with a slightly Ir
regular tone
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value $1,990,000. United States 2s' and So
advanced U per cent on call, the oM 4s
and the new 4s 1J per cent on call.
