BOGS In steady demand.
BUTTER Receipts are decreasing.
Thero was a fair amount of buying In the
hop market yesterday, but the flurry that
startled the trade in the early part of the
week has subsided. Holders of the lower
grades show more disposition to sell, and
this Imparts an appearance of weakness to
the market. Choice hops of export quality
are firmly held, and to get them buyers must
come up to sellers' views.
More buying by Carmichael was reported,
but the transactions, go far as learned, "were
not large. One of his purchases was re
ported to be the -Beck lot of 42 bales at
Carlton, for which he paid 15 cents. Other
buys were the Triplet lot of 20 bales at 13
cents and the Martin Johnson lot of 75
bales at the same price both at Carlton.
Two lots bought by Lachmund & Pincua
at Hlllsboro were the Jolly crop of 140
bales and the Reese crop of 160 bales, at
13 Vi and 13 'j cents.
A London cable received yesterday said
that Clem Horst was offering choice hops
there on the basis of 13 cents on the
Coast. This may explain in some degree
the Indifference shown In the London market
for Pacific hops.
Hopdealers fear that the trouble they hue
suffered from lack of cars will be aggra-
ated by the washouts on the Southern Pa
cific, but the railroad is now handling Ub
through business southward over the West
Hide line. The Jefferson bridge will prob
ably be ready for business again in ten
days.
Southern Pacific figures compiled up to
October 23 show that 14.607 bales of hops
were shipped out of the state on that line
since the opening of the season. The move
ment has been very small, particularly In
view of the large crop. Some of the hop
men have lately raised their estimates on
the yield of this state, one large dealer and
grower placing the figure at 140,000 bales.
Very few men in tho trade now estimate
the Oregon crop under 125,000 bales.
OREGON WOOLS ARE NOW IN DEMAND.
Selling Freely at Good Prices in the Boston
Market. '
Western wools, Oregons especially, are at
tracting most attention In the Eastern mar
kets now. Main advices from Boston are
to the effect that 800,000 or 900,000 pounds of
Oregon staple were transferred during the
past week. A large New England mill was
one of the heaviest purchasers, buying on
the basis of 23a23e cents. It is said that
s large and well-known clip was moved at
better than 23V, cents. There is some in
quiry there for Valley wools, but there is
practically nothing being accomplished in
them. It in claimed that No. 1 is worth
about 27 tic 28c; No. 2, 283 210, and No. 3.
2D 20c.
Commenting on the activity of the market
In general, the latest issue of the Boston
Commercial Bulletin says:
The mills in general had gotten down to
lower stocks than variously estimated, in
the belief that the market might be finally
broken. The smaller consumers had been
awaiting the attack of the American
Woolen Company, which, however, came
Kooner than some buyers expected. As it
w:is, the choice wools had not been pur
chased too quickly, for different manufac
turers had been figuring on them for some
time, a fact which became known to the
lnrge users of wool. Little time was then
lost to obtain possession of them.
It is claimed that manufacturers, realiz
ing the fairness of values and the apparent
impossibility of obtaining any lower ones
for some time, will now come in and pur
chase generous quantities of wool. The con
tinued activity of the different classes of
consumers seems to bear out the contention.
Dealers are not as anxious to sell their
.stocks as they were a few weeks ago, and a
much firmer front in regard to prices is
being shown buyers.
Everything considered, the situation is
better, and the movement of tho available
wools is on in earnest. Merchants are more
optimistic in regard to a maintenance of
values, and manufacturers are apparently
eatlslled to pay current rates.
Srarclty in Few Lines Only.
The railroad washouts will not have much
effect on the fresh produce market, as very
little such freight is coming northward
now. What is urgently needed can be
brought by way of the West Side line. There
may be a temporary scarcity of lemons and
sweet potatoes, but that is about all. The
next lot of bananas will come in over the
Northern Pacitic A car of new navel or
anges and grapefruit la being made up in
Northern California and will arrive here
next Wednesday or Thursday.
Chickens Move Slowly.
The poultry market was dragging again
resterday. so far as chickens were coucerned.
Receipts were not heavy, but if it had not
been for outside orders, prices could hardly
have been maintained. Small Spring' and
-rood fat hens were the only kinds asked for.
There was some Inquiry for geese to fat
ten and turkeys in good condition moved
well.
The egg market was steady, active and
unchanged.
The stormy weather has had the effect
of lessening the cream supply to a certain
degree and the but'er m.-rket is somewhat
steadier.
Wheat Market Is Weaker.
Owing to the car situation, which is seri
ously hampering the wheat trade, and the
weakness of other markets, dealers here are
quoting lower prices, ranging from 1 to 2
vents below the figures quoted early in the
week.
The lack of cars has had tho effect of
stiffening up the hay market, by prevent
ing the replenishment of local supplies which
have become small. Oats and burley, for
the same reasons, are firmer.

Discount Kate Unchanged.
LONDON. Nov. 8. The rate of discount
of the Bank of 'England remains unchanged
at 6 per cent.
STOGKMARKETDULL
Speculation Checked by Ad
vance in Call Money.
RATE GOES TO ,10 PER CENT
Buying of Hill Shares a Feature of
the Day Rumors Revived of
Proposed Disbursement
to Stockholders.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The rate of activ
ity in the stock market receded again today
to a mid-Summer level of dullness. The
effect on prices was slight until the flurry
In Money to 10 per cent, but the sagging
tendency inevitable in a neglected market
was perceptible. A few individual stocks
furnished the features of the day's market.
The Hill stocks wore again absorbed on ji
Impressive scale, and often-repeated asser
tions were renewed of an early arrangement
for disbursement to stockholders of the
benefits of the orelands deal in some negoti
able form. Pullman was aftected by reports
of an Intended extra dividend distribution
on the stock of the accumulated surplus.
Brooklyn Transit was hurt by the poor show
ing of net earnings for the quarter ending
September 30. Outside of such special
movements, Reading was the most conspic
uous figure and was alternately weak and
strong as the room-traders operations in the
stock shifted.-
The intense dullness of the market as a
whole was obviously due to the exigencies
of the money situation, which exercised a
repressive influence on speculative activity.
Growing importance is attached to the di
version of speculative activity to the mining
stocks dealt in outside the stock exchange.
Apprehensions that the Bank of England
would advance its discount rate today proved
unfounded, but any good effect on the New
York market that might have resulted was
forestalled Jy the decline In American se
curities in London before trading began
here. The demand for sterling exchange in
this market was evidence of a process of
reduction of the outstanding indebtedness of
this market In London. Rates for time
money were strongly held, and reports of
some large loans lor a period of six months
at prevailing rates were the ground for a
beli.-f that no- early relief from the tightness
of money was to be looked for.
The closing was weak under the influence
of the flurry in money, but there was no
great increase of activity.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$1,720,0J0. United States new 4s advanced
14 per cent on call.
