BUTTER Steady and unchanged.
Tho potato market Is Buffering1 from one
of those relhpres thut frequently occur dur
ing tho phlpplng season when quantities are
forwarded to the consuming markets in the
South in excess of the demand. Buyers are
.j'ractlcally out of the market now and thosa
that aro in It are operating cautiously. The
top price offered for fancy stock yester
day was S3 cents, Portland. The depres
sion ts lookod upon as only temporary and
hen the congestion as San Francisco is
relieved there may be some improvement.
"If tho farmers do not ship their stock
too fast," said McKlnley Mitchell yesterday,
"the marlcet may be k'-pt in good shape the
rest of the season. The Colorado crop is
short, to a certain extent, and will not
Interfere with the Coast market as it did
last year. When the supply of California
Rivers runs out there will be a better mar
ket for Oregon potatoes at San Francisco.
I look for good, but not high prices
this year. The early potatoes are practically
All gone now, but there will be plently of
late Htnck. The acreage ts quite large this
ypiir and there will be about as many po
tatoes produced in Oregon as in 1005. The
Valley crop will not be of first-class quality
owing to the late rains. But some sections
will have very fair storks. Most dealers. I
believe, have underestimated the crop of
the state. Oregon, In my opinion, will turn
out fully 2u00 cars, about an average crop.
"The farmers who have a good quality
f potatoes will get good prices, but the
Por stu:T must be fed to the hogs. Cali
fornia Rivers are of good quality this year
and will tnka the place of Oregon s unless
(he latter are well ported and put up. The
nmrket Is weak now, as this is one of the
).e.riods when the farmers want to sell and
flood ..the market. Another such period can
be looked for around the holidays."
HRISKv DEMAND FOR OREGON HOPS.
8alem nnd Portland Dealers Active Buyers
Yesterday.
The week started with a good show of busi
ness in tho hop market. Reports were re
ceived of the transfers of over 1000 bales
and it is believed that other lots were sold
that were not reported. Salem dealers were
the largest buyers during the day and It
.seemed as If nearly all of them had' ordrfs.
Iichmund & Pincus bought three lots in
Washington County at 15 cents, the Emery
lot of 15 bales. liagley lot of ISO bales and
Jack lot of Hb bales, also the Leichty lot of
bales at Pratum at tho same price.
A report came down from Salem that T. A.
Uvesley & Co. was in 'the market and that
John Cnrmichael lal also bought two small
lots. Clem Horst'a purchases during the day
were not reported, but on Sunday his buyers
secured about 4H) bales around SHverton at
12 to 13 cents.
W. J. Bishop yesterday bought two lots on
the West side, aggregating ItiO bales, at 13
and 13V4 cents. Klaber, Wolf & Netter se
cured a few small lots for export. Another
export purchase was the Yoakum & Plummer
lot of li' bal-s at Dallas, secured by Phil
Neis.
Kola Neis, of Albany, who was in the city
yesterday, bought some WK) bales during the
past week at 13 'i to 14 cents. Mr. Neis,
like other hop dealers, is much worried over
the car situation. He believes that business
would be much more active If transportation
facilities were better. The lots purchased by
Mr. Neis hist week were those of Gooding,
Davidson, Fancy, Kavanaugh, Johnson and
Jackson, at Woodburn, Hume, Couley and
Cushman, at Brownsville and Durbin, at SH
verton. George Dorcas, now of the firm of McNeff
Bros., of Puyallup, was In the city yester
day. Mr. Dorcas will remain in Oregon dur
ing the remainder of the season, looking after
the firm's Interests in this state. He will
make' his headquarters at the Belvedere.

STOCKS HELD 001
Restraint in Market Due to the
Hardening of Money.
CLOSING VERY IRREGULAR
Coming Election Holiday Also
Checks Trading Influence on
Speculation of London Fi
nancial Situation.
NEW YORK, No. 5. Operations in stocks
wero under some restraint today due prin
cipally to a hardening of the market for
money, but partly also to the eve of the
election holiday, 'causing invariable dispo
sitions not to make market commitments
with an Interval of closed markets to be
passed.
The action of the money market was a
disagreeable surprise as the passing of the
November settlements had been expected to
result in seme return of. money to the mar
ket, which was only temporarily withdrawn
for the purpose of dividend and interest dis
bursements. There Is a growing dispo
sition also to count upon the end of the
interior demand for currency for harvest
ing purposes as within close distance. New
York exchange at Chicago In fact rose to
par today as compared with 47 cents dis
count at the beginning of last week. Esti
mates of the shipments of currency to the
West by Chicago banks make the movement
much heavier than in the last year for
October, while the movement from Now
York to Chicago for the same time has been
leBs.
But it was believed that ,the principal
Influence on the day's market came from the
other direction in connection with outstand
ing credits in London. Neither of the last
two bank statements here have shown any
effect in the loan item from the shitting of
loans from London to New York. It is th
common belief that such an effect has
been only postponed and not avoided. Ac
count is taken also of further scaling down
of accommodations to the borrowers "in
Tuture stock market settlements in Lon
don. The London Statist, speaking of the last
stock market settlement said:
"Trade never was more active in the Uni
ted States and the value of stocks never
was more real. But the account being car
ried over here Is too large, considering the
funds available for the purpose. It is under
stood, however, that very large accounts
have been transferred from London to New
York. It is essentially necessary that be
fore the next settlement comes on the Amer
lean account should be materially reduced."
The stock market settlement referred to
by the Statist occurs next week.
There was some incll" tion today to ease
in discounts both in London and Paris, but
the Bank of England has not made any prog
ress yet In the recuperation of its reserve.
The opinion continues to be expressed in
London advices that the bank rate would
be raised to 7 per cent if that measure is
found necessary to attract the desired in
flow of cash reserves to the bank.
The day's operations were largely in pro
fessional hands. There was accumulation
during the first hour and some profit-taking
late in the day, with an irregular closing.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value.
$1,632,000. United States new 4s advanced

Wheat Traders Backward Be
cause of Holiday Today.
CHICAGO MARKET IS WEAK
Favorable Weather for Crop Move
ment Also an Influence Toward
Lower Prices torn Kasy
and Oats Firmer.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5. Trading in the wheat
pit was lifeless und sentiment was bearish
ail day. The inactivity was largely due to
the reluctance of traders to open new ac
counts in the face of a holiday tomorrow.
The main influence of tho situation, how
ever, was the condition in the Spring wheat
territory. Weather in the Northwest was
much more favorable for the movement,
and it was claimed that if the railroads
would furnish cars shipments would In
crease materially. The market closed weak.
Teeemler pold between 7:t-Sc and 74 Sc and
closed 'ft'&c lower, -at "I'-lv fiillc.
Weakn-'ss prevailed in the corn pit on
selling by several lt,rt?e commission house.
Local receipts were lai-Rer and the estimate
for tomorrow was for still more liberal
arrivals. The close was weak. December
opened He toli'ic lovr. at 43c to 4M,
(?' 4nvic. Hold off to 4:;.c and closed at 4-'y
4'2c, a net loss of sc.
Despite the easier tone of wheat and
corn, the oats market was firm. The mar
ket closed firm. December opened a shade
hlpher at 34 Cn 24 . c and closed at .14sc,
a net gain of Vie.
The provision market was weak on gen
eral selling, which was based upon a de
cline' of 5 to 10c in the price of live hojrs.
At the close January pork was off
