THE HORNING OMG030AK, SATURDAY, APRIL 2$, lfO. IS BUTTER PH WAY California May Ship Its Sur plus to Portland. STORAGE PLANTS ARE GONE Creameries of That State Preparing to Unload Their Extra Stocks on This Market Poor Out look for Prices. I "BUTTER California, creameries may send surplus to' Portland. EGGS Firm with upward tendency. POULTRY Stocks are light, i FRUIT First California cherries ar l rive. MOHAIR Pool sold at 30 cents. J SUGAR Tralnload arrives from Idaho. HOPS Late buying was by specu f lators. Prospects are not so bright for maintain ing the current level of prices in the butter market a they were a few days ago. It was learned yesterday that a number of the huge San Francisco creameries were prepar ing to ship their surplus to this city, and this can have only one effect on prices. This action by the Southern creameries In due to the fact that all the cold-storage pi ante In San Francisco were burned and as none of the manufactories have storage facilities of the'r own they are compelled to ehlp- to other points. Tht creameries south of San Francisco will rend their surplus product to Los Angeles, while those In the northern part of the state must rend it here or have It spoil on their hands. The creameries along the Oregon and Cali fornia coast will ateo send their surplus to Portland. The butter that will thus come to Portland will, of course, consist of only the surplus product, an the creameries will find an ample market for the bulk of their but ter at San Francisco and Oakland. The Drenent supply of butter of local and state make Is large, but will be much heav ier in May. It was expected that the storage demand In the coming month would serve to hold prices steady, but should a flood of California butter come Into this market, as Is expected, there will be another tale to tell. Prices showed no change yesterday from the early part of the week. Twenty cento was the top Quotation, both of the city creamer ies and on Front street, but it van frrquently shaded, particularly in the commission dis trict A growing, quantity or ITH-cent but ter is being offered. Shipping orders were good, but not at the bent prices. BOUGHT BY SPECULATORS. Explanation of .Recent Flurry la the Hop Market. It Is the general belief in the hop market now that the buying of the last few day was entirely on speculative account. It was a i first thought that there was a scramble b shorts to cover their outstanding con tracts, but trader have since come to tho opinion that the flurry was brought about by buying by a few bold speculators who saw a il-ancc to secure the small remainder or the i:op at comparatively low prices. That It was a good Investment wa evidenced by the 2-cent rise that occurred in less than a week, while every indication points to the market reaching 15 cents before the new crop comes on. Nothing would please the rtiort fellers bet ter than to get prices up as high as they can before Summer. Then, when they have made their short sales for the season, they will begin work at the other end of the line, and swamp the growers with literature that will make them wlnh they had never gone into the growing of hops. Stocks remaining in growers hands ar no longer a factor in this market About all that remain are held by dealers, and they are not sellers at present price. Five hun dred bales is an outside figure of 1P03 stocks In first hand. Dealers' lists show 170 bales twld by Portland growers. TO bales left at Hubbard, 100 at Mount Angel and HO at Sa lm. This stock it carried by seven men. snd they are Just as ttrong as the dealer peculators themselves. The Portland grow ers who are holding are R. L. Durham, who steo tia his 1904s. and W. E. Robertson, who I carrying, in addition to his lat year's hope, his crops of 1904 and 1103. These last named lots are never figured upon by the trade as available hops. Not over 500 bales of olds of all kinds remain In the mate. The total supply of hops in Oregon at this writing in all hands Is estimated at 4000 to 4500 bales. No new business was reported In the local market yesterday. Hops ere nominally quoted at 11 cents, but nothing could be c-uched at this figure. ITRST CHERRIES ARRIVE. Aaoarllle Fruit Bring 31.75 a Box Scarcity of Vegetables. The first cherries of the season reached Portland yesterday morning. .They came from Vacaville. Cal. There were three boxes !n the shipment and they sold readily at $1.75. Twri more boxer came in on the late ex press. Receipts of strawberries amounted to l!0O crates, mostly off In quality." The gen eral run brought J2. though some dollar ber ries that were better, sold for 32.25. One car of oranges arrived. Three cars of bananas R'e due today, "and no more will be in for 10 day. The supply of all kinds of vegetables, ex-'-pt cabbage, and a few local varieties, was JKht. The potato market was quiet. Much unload ing by dealers is reported. Poultry Supply Limited. The market continues almost bare of all Vinos of live poultry, and were It not for the Eastern frozen good, consumer would rave to content themselves with other kinds ?r food. Good bens are quoted at 15 cents and Springs up to 25 cents. Grese are In 'sir demand, and ducks and hen turkeys badly wanted. The egg market held very Hrong. The gen eral quotation was 174 cents. An occasional sal at 17 cents was reported, and one house kd IS cents. Idaho Sugar Received. The tralnload of sugar ordered by the Kel leyClark Company from Idaho Fall reached Portland jesterday afternoon, and jobbers w!ll begin making deliveries this morning. From now on there will bo no scarcity of cgar In the local market. Mohair reel at Thlrtr Cents. The small mohair pool that was sold at Hlllsbecc Thursday brought 3d cents. This about winds up the pool sales in Oregon this season." Bask Clearings. Bank clearing of the principal North west cities yesterday ware; Clearings Balance.

PRICES CUT UNDER MARKET Losses Arc Severe, Great Northern Preferred IJeadlBjc With a De cline or 25 Points Other Pacifies SHffer. NEW TORK, April 27. Necessitous liquida tion was thrown upon the market today at the time when the demand waa almost par alysed. The bear element asoac the traders showed Itself, moreover, alert and well or- ganlEed, and met the selling ey a saTage onelaugbt on prices which cut under the market and added to the femoral laatlon. The boldnes with which the bear element operated was indicated by the violent rebounds be- t-MMi r.nnv th tiun took hSAtV profits by buying; to cover ehorU. It was the common understanding that the most, urgent, liquidation was for the account f feme of the Insurance companies. The Indiscriminate way In which Kocfci were thrown over and the violence of the de clines at which sales were effected, save ria to disquieting rumors, especially retarding the position of ioat or the Insurance companies. The enormous losses suffered by the Are com panies In San Francisco have given perfectly natural occasion for the keen dlscuerion of their Ktandlng ever since that event, and It has been generally expected that an usarecedrrt ed scale of lossea could hardly fall to result In some casualties. Nothing came to light today to liquidate these rumors, which were act afloat by the action of the market. It was rumored dur ing the day that several of the companies had recured accommodation In large-time loans running In the aggregate to between $4,000. 000 and $5,000,000 for nine months. The rate of Interest payable on there loans waa said to be 6 per cent. This Indication of the tightness of the money market and the ac cepted prospect of Its continuance was an unfavorable ."actor In the situation. But the fact that the insurance companies were pro tected by such accommodation. It was hoped, would avert or defer liquidation of holdings of aecuritles. The fact that aach an arrange ment means a postponement rather than an avoidance of liquidation eervea to discourage speculative confidence In t future advance In prices with ch a burden hanging over the market to take advantage of an effective de mand for securities. Further engagements of gold for Import were eecured In Parts today, the aggregate for the day reaching J 6.000.(00. This was contrasted with $1,500,000. the amount of the day's transfers to San FraacUco. through the ub-Treaury. Thte aubsldenee In the Ude of the movement to the Pacific Coast aroused eome hope that the principal requirements there incident to the resumption of banking were now satisfied. But this encouraging development availed nothing to check the force of the liquidation which poured into the market. The pecu.a tlve account on the long side of the market proved much heavier than there nae been any nutplcion of. and the wiping out of margins and the uncovering of stop-lees orders brought - Boo of sale orders from all qusr ters. The Western specuUuh" crater figured very largely In thla class of aelllrx and the market was not free from rumors of threat ened casualtle In the ypeculatlve field of op eration. No news regarding any of the com panies whore stocks were mort affected, ac companied the break. The violence of the decline In some o. the nrVn rvealed the fact that prices "hio" been marked up during the recent perio of confidence, while p radically no c..r.i.ti were made In the markeL The appearance of any considerable supply of stock proved that no adequate demand existed at the high prices which had been made. The Hill tocks and the Northwestern Pa cific were the largest sufferers, and Reading. New York Central and eome of the highly speculative stocks tell abruptly. The break of 25 points In Great Northern preferred mesiftured the maximum, but the Chicago & Northwestern etocka. Northern Pactflc Chi cago & St. raul, Minneapolis & Omaha. Colo rado Fuel and Anaconda offered examples of 8 to 15-polnt declines. In the general list, lowes of 2 to S point were fairly generaL The rise In the early part or tae oa w the continuing effect of yesterday gold an nouncement, which prompted the short to cover It only erved as a better basis for the renewed liquidation.
