REASONS FOR FALLING OFF Trade 1905 AVasi Abnormally Large, Owing to Lack of All Kinds of Merchandise, Caused by AVar. Oriental trade reason for falling off lit exports. HOPS Local market still quiet. FRUIT Supply of banana runs low. POT ATOI3S Slight improvement In car situation. POULTRY Chickens advance one cent. BGGS Active and firnr. BUTTER Local market In good condition. . Tha decline In the export trade of the United States to China and Japan as com pared with 1905 has led to considerable mis understanding. The United Kingdom and other nations have suffered similar losses, showing that there was nothing peculiar in the decrease in American exports. The Daily Consular and Trade Reports, published by the Department of Commerce nnd Labor, explains that the exports in 190."; were abnormally larire, owing to the lack of all kinds of merchandise in Manchuria, j caused by the war. There was a rush after the war to fill tne gap, and that caused a large increase in the irfa ports. Rut normal conditions have now followed, and while the Importations have fallen off, they stllr re main much above the normal of years pre ceding the war. For the eipht months ending with August, lOOtl, the exports from the United Stales to China were In value $22,316,210, as compared with $42,300,91)0 in the corresponding months of 100."i. Rut the largest exports in any preceding year were $ 17.01 :t,S4S In l'.M2, showing that the exports this year are $3, 0"0,000 greater In eight months than they were in any year preceding i:Kr. The ex ports to Japan for the eight months aggre gated $20,752. :i7 7. as compared with $.'!!, 174, (1S2 in the eight months of IDOS. But only once before, and that in 1000, were the exports to Japan for the corresponding time greater than they were this year, while In li'01-2 and up to and Including 1004 they were very much less than for 1!H)0. The ex ports to Asia and Oceania for the eight months of this year were In value $sui,t'll, 375. which was much larger than In any year preceding 1003, but in the clsht months of 1005 the exports aggregated $110,225,003. OUTLET IS FOUND FOR CHH KFN turplns Stock Sent to the North and XT ices Improve. The express company notified the Front street poultry trade yesterday afternoon that it would take poultry shipments to the nrtn and as a result the day "cloned w ith an advance of 1c In the chicken market. A fair quantity of poultry was taken off the street anil forwarded to the north. It was said at the express office that the shipments would bo made by way of Wallulu. It was promised that the road will bo open for di rect shipments in ample time to handle all the Thanksgiving poultry moving. Dressed turkeys are beginningto come In freely but the demand had hardly opened up yesterday. Trade quotations were 20c and 21c for the bulk of the lots received. Live turkeys were slow sale. Live geese and ducks were in good demand. There was an active market for all kinds of eggs, with no further advance in the price of ranch stock. The butter market Is In healthy condition. BANANA STOCKS AGAIN 1SUN LOW. Potato Shipments Are Improving as & Few More Cars Are Available. The banana market is again almost bare. The last lot received was ripe and a good deal of it was worked off on the peddlers. Four cars are due Sunday night and as they will probably be ripe, they will be imme diately disposed of for the holiday trade. A car of fancy navel oranges was received and quoted at $3.75. Other varieties of fruit were In fair supply. As a result of the recent agitation, there has been some Improvement In the car sit uation, according to the potato trade, rihlp itwnts to the South are not heavy, but they aro better than they were earlier in the week. okfa;on hop market still ira..s. Only It tiMn ess Reported Yesterday XV ua in La no County. Tlits hop market was again a very dull aiTutr yesterday. The local trade had no business to report and telephone messages from Salem, Aurora, Sherwood, SUverton nnd 1'idk County points were of Inactive condi tions. The only dealings that were learned were at Eugene, where Kola Neis bought 75 bales from William Neis and 40 bales from liruno Vitus, the latter at 11 cents. In spite of the slow market, growers are holding remarkably well and choice lots at bargain prices are extremely hard to find. Tho latest olTiciol bulletin of the Depart ment of Agriculture gives the following es timates of foreign crops : The lOoo nop crop of England is officially estimated at 2,57,0,'0 pounds, against 7,704,501 pounds in 1003. The French hop crop of 1005 is of ficially estimated at 10,00;t,53i pounds trom an area of 73S0 acres. . Buuk Cleurings.

SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. (Special.) The Tonopahs were dull and "heavy, the call of Rescue bringing out the largest batch of orders. Goldflelds were irregular and the rumor of some big orders for today's mar ket did not develop. Two dollars and 50 cents was bid for Little Tonopan but no stock was brought out at that price. Silver Fick started to go down, but good buying orders brought the price back to $1.00. Jumbo was $4 bid. Silver Pick was not well supported. . The call of Great Bend caused a commo tion and it was bid up 15 cents before all the orders were filled. Red Top extension was well traded in and a small business in Daisy did not weaken Us price. There is nothing new to report and the market is apparently a speculative proposition. Among sales were: McNamara. SOc; Gold Anchor.

IS STILL EASY St. Paul the Only Leading Issue to Show Much Strength Realiz ing In Union Pacific Hill Bnying Katy. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. The unsettled and irregular tone of the stock market continued In evidence today. The uncertainty of the Price movement discouraged oierarronjt and the consequence was a dull and sagging., ten dency. The downward movement was neither universal nor marked. There were strong spots in the list, but they were among the least influential stocks. There was a story of Hill buying of Missouri. Kan sag & Texas to account for the rise In those stocks, said to be for a strategical move aKain-t the Harrlman control of Illinois Central. Of the stocks of most prominence, St. Paul was the only one to be notably strong at any time. The evidence of realizing In Union Pacific wai of more effect on sentiment. The only explanation offered lor it was the assertion that the forthcoming annual report of the company would prove only a routine offi cial document. The heaviness of Union Pa cific had an additional iniiiience from the fact that the decline In Standard Oil shares on the curb market was resumed, the price yielding at one time to 4u0. Supporters of stocks had to contest also with the effect of further realizing in Great Northern pre ferred and the fall in the price of ore cer tificates, which were dealt In on the curb when issued. The cail money market showed no sign of disturbance. The market for time loan.-', however, was characterized as stringent, and brokers reported that that market was practically, bare of offerings. The stock market was unresponsive to the continual spurts in a series of low-priced stocks and the market closed easy. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, l.:;ji;.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Adams Express 275 Amalgamated Cop. at,:i0O 114 ll.'IU 113 Am.

GENERAL TRADE IS ACTIVE Industry in Nearly AH Lines Pushed to the Limit of Production. Car Congestion Is Yet Apparent. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Early In th day pit-traders bought wheat on the compara tively firm tone of the Liverpool cables and the continued small receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth. The market for a time was firm, "but offerings were not large and trad ing soon began to draff. The principal de mand was for the May option, which was wanted by commission houses. Toward the middle of the day bears began to hammer December and the price of that delivery cased oft. The demand for cash wheat at Minneapolis was again urgent and exports of wheat and flour from this country for the week were larger than for the corre sponding week last year. December opened unchanged to 4ic higher at 73 ft 73 c cold between 73 & 73 He and 73&c and closed at 73 He. Trading in the corn pit was extremely quiet, but the market was strong for the greater part of the day. The market closed steady. December opened a shade higher at ifr4-ic, sold between 42'c and 4c and -closed at Oats were higher because of liquidation in the December holdings by local longs. December opened He to & 4 c higher and enld at 33c. sold oft to 33Hy33Vc and closed at 33ic. Provisions were Inclined to be weak all day because of Felling by local packers, which was based on a decline In the price of live hugs. At the close.

Slight Loss at Close. NEW YORK. Nov. 23. Bradstreeta to morrow will say: Though checked In some sections by irreg ular weather conditions, trade Is active as a whole, holiday demand is opening up earlier than usual. Industry in nearly all lines is still pushed to the limit of production and little relief from the prevailing car conges tion is yet apparent. The grain markets have displayed fair steadiness with few fluctuations on contin ued light movement from the producing cen ters, part of which is attributed to the car congestion. The feeling grows, however, that the milling wheat production In the Northwest has been overestimated. Hides are scarce and high and leather prices tend upward. Building u rather quiet and materials are not very active, although lumber is in fair request. Raw and refined sugar are quiet and unchanged here, but the prices on the Pacific T'oast are a quarter cent lower on the breaking out of another sugar war. Copper is firm and the - demand for electrolytic for shipment In Deoember Is heavy. Business failures in the United States for the week ending November 22 number 212, against 222 last week and 224 in the like week of 1905. Canadian failures number 27, against 31 last week and 40 in this week a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing November 22 (San Francisco, Tacoma and Seattle missing last week, owing to wire trouble, included for two weeks), aggregated 4.025.073 bushels against 3.742.331 last week and 3.333. 008 this week last year. For the past 21 weeks of the fiscal year the exports Via Salt Lake The journey Eastward should include service in the Burlington's thru Standard sleeping-cars or thru Tourist sleeping-cars from Salt Lake City to Omaha and Chicago daily. Or in the thru Tourist sleeping cars to Kansas City and St. Louis on Fridays. All are routed via the Scenic Rockies, Colorado Springs, Denver and the Burlington's own lines be yond.

IMl'KOVKMENT IX WHOLESALE TRADE. Movement Is Better Than Last Year. Col - lections Are Good. NEW YORK. Nov. 23. R. G. Dun & Co.'B weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Weather conditions have retarded trade in seasonable staple Itnes of merchandise, but holiday goods have begun to move un usually early and In a volume that prom ises satisfactory rerults. Wholesale busi ness is maintaining a much better movement than last year and further improvement la noted in collections. Activity In the hide market is fully main tained, most Western packers being fully sold up. NarroW fluctuations have charac terized the metal market. Diminished re ceipts at the Northwest gave support to wheat, total arrivals at primary markets since July ,1 now showing a material loss from last year's movement, but smaller for eign buying and less activity at flour mills offset the sustaining factors. Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for November amounted to $4,111. P44, of which $1,801,687 were in manufactur ing. $2,207,006 in trading and $103,251 In other commercial lines. SONOMA HOP CONSIGNMENT POOL. Several Carloads Being Shipped to the Eng lish Market. M'MINNVILLE. Or.. Nov. 23. (Special.) Some hops have changed hands at prices ranging at from 12 to 15 cents, grading from babies to good" primes. Growers fell that when the short foreign crop has been cleaned up the actual trading in Oregons will then begin J. B. Fletcher has Just received the fol lowing letter from the secretary of the So noma Hopgrowers Association: Santa Rosa, Cal., Nov. IS. Your letter of some time ago Just at hand. Yes, we are arranging -a shipment of hops to England, and several carloads will be started this week. Our plan Is this: First, we got in communication with London dealers; sec ond, we got a cablegram code so as to re duce the expense cf messages; third, we sent samples as fast as we could get them to England. Then on arrival in London the dealers cable us the amount they are willing to advance on same f. o. b. without recourse. Then the secretary advises each individual member as to the offer on his certain lot. if accepted by grower the secretary and grower I-t:( R. W. FOSTER. Ticket Ajent C, B. & Q. Ry.. 100 Third Street, Portland enter into a written agreement of consign ment, the secretary acting for dealer. "When hops aro inspected and delivered at depot, grower receives bill of lading and on same draws advunce money at bank. By doing this we are getting the hops away from the short sellers at noma. Wo there fore expect to benefit more in the future by causing the dealers at home to iiult sell ing our hops for less than they can be grown, because they think there is going to be a big crop. At the present time 15 to 15 13 all that wo can gel for our goods. While we can get 14 cents advance without re course and a good chance of getting, 5, 6, 7 or perhaps still more when the hops are sold in London. Vsually lt would ot be. advisable to ship all one's holdings, as, it about one-third of each grower's holdings went out, It would force home prices higher than tho cne-third shipped would bring. Of coune you should keep posted on the world's supply and demand to determine what per cent to ship. "A. S. GIBBONS, Secretary." Metal Markets. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.
