THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906.
SARDINE PRICES UP
Marked Shortage in Foreign
' and Domestic Pack.
WILL BE SMALL DELIVERIES
Vnprofitable Season Just Closed by
the Eastport, Maine, Packers.
Karly Cleanup Is
Expected.
SARDINES Short domestic and for
eign pack and higher prices.
HOPS Local market quiet and
weak.
FRUIT Holiday demand opening.
BUTTER Inquirica from San Fran
cisco. FOCITRY Receipts large, but
price hold.
EGGS Steady and fairly active.
Added to the shortage in the French sar
dine pack comes the news that tho Maine
park Is of very nmall proportions and tho
natural consequence is a sharp advance in
prices "all around In. the Eastern markets.
In the foreign sardine trade, the principal
question now Is nit so much the price as
tho filling of ordera. purchases made by
jobbers are being tilled In various propor
tion extending dawn to nothing at all.
Prices of domestic sardines would be
strengthened anyway by the foreign, situa
tion, so the shortage on the Eastern coast
only makes the position that much strong
er. The Maine pack of 100B la now esti
mated to have fallen fully 1,00,000 cases
below that of 1000, when a total of 2,200,000
cases was made by tho Maine factories. As
fully fi5 per cent of this season's output has
been already sold, and It is considered high
ly probable that none of the canneries will
open before July 1 next year. It is expected
that the early Spring trade will clear the
market. The reason for this heavy shrink
age is said to bo due to the low market
pcice for domestic sardines, and to the scar
city of herring In American waters.
The Importance of the sardine and her
ring industry is shown by the figures of
1IMM, when Washington and Hancock Coun
ties, the center of the business realized
about $5,155,000. In the sardine industry
?l,5O0,0Oi was circulated in wages and for
the purchase of the tlsh, and in the herring
lish erics nearly $500,000 more was dis
tributed. The lish were caught by means of
vcirs and traps located along the coast at
a cost of nearly $o50,000.
In view of the conditions, the Eastport
packers who have any stock left have deter
mined to raise prices 10c a case on quarter
oils and 20e a case on three-quarter mus
tards. So that buyers will not feel it nec
essary to put in additional stocks before
taking annual inventories, it was concluded
not to make the advance effective until
January 2.
EASTK1CX til "PPLY OF STORAGE EGGS
Mocks Are IJkely to Be Exhausted Unusu
ally Early.
According to the Chicago Packer, the
storage egg holdings in the four largest
Eastern cities amount to 7il3,000 cases
against 1,252,000 a month ago and 903.000
cases a year ago. The holdings in Greater
New York arc estimated at liiiO.UOO cased.
Chicago is credited with ;t00,000 cases; Bos
ton, 106,000, and Philadelphia, 07.000. The
reduction in stocks in the four centers from
October 31 to November 30, is given as 519,
O00 cases.
It will be seen by the above that the stor
age egg deal, taking the tour largest cen
ters as a criterion, is in a pretty healthy
condition. Going into December with only
733.000 cases in the coolers of these four
large centers and with a moving out for
the previous month of over half a million
cases and taking Into consideration the ex
treme scarcity of fresh laid eggs and the
outlook for them ft looks as though there
would be very few held eggs In the Eastern
coolers by February 1.
RECEIPTS OF POULTRY ARE LARGER
Up to the Present Time Prices Have Been
Maintained.
Receipts of poultry were quite large yes
terday, but nearly all the firms cleaned up
and prices were well maintained up to the
close of the day. The demand, .so far. has
been active, but the future of the market
will depend on the size of the receipts.
Eggs continue steady with a fair degree
of activity.
There were no new developments In the
butter market yesterday. The local supply
was light and prices were firm. Inquiries
have been received from San Francisco
showing there is no likelihood of that mar
ket sending shipments here. Another large
deal in storage butter Is under way, which
may take practically nil the remaining
supply off the local market. '
Hop Market Quiet and Weak.
Nothing new developed in the hop mar
ket yesterday. A number of deals were un
der way, but trade on the whole was rather
quiet and the undertone of the market con
tinued weak. The greatest difficulty is
found in interesting Eastern brewers In Ore
gon hops. A little export buying was done
by Klaber, "Wolf & Netter, but London, like
the Eastern market. Is at the present time
dull and unsatisfactory. It was reported
from Aurora that 14 40 had been offered
there by a Salem dealer, but this was not
regarded as bona fide and excited but little
comment.
Active Market for Fresh Produce.
Holiday orders for fresh produce are be
ginning to come in from the country and by
next week this line of business will be on
In full swing. The city trade was active
yesterday. There were no important re
ceipts beyond a shipment of Hawaiian pine
apples, which were quoted at $3-75 f$ 4.50
per dozen. Oregon apples are in heavy sup
ply, and although receipts exceed sales, the
market holds fairly steady.

STOCKS TURN BACK
Advance Is Checked by Rise in
Call Money Rate.
MUCH PRESSURE TO SELL
Interior Hanks Disinclined to Accept
the Proffered Government De
posits Owing to Short
- Time for Holding.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. The advance In
prices of stocks wavered, then came to a
halt and finally turned backward agajn to
day. There was t-onie natural realizing on
yesterday's considerable rise, which served
partly u account for the reduction. There
was, besides, a further advance in the rates
for call money and less confidence as a re
sult in tbe adequacy of the assistance offered
by the Treasury Department to carry the
money market through the demands of the
January settlements. With the reaction in
the market there was some shrinkage in the
rate of activity from that of yesterday. The
liberal offering of funds yesterday was to
some extent a use of the expected Increase
in resources before they were In hand. This
disposition on the part of the active specula
tors to lick up funds as fast as available
comes in for its share of criticism.
Reports were received in Wall street to
day that some of the interior banks were
disinclined to accept the proffered Govern
ment deposits. Tho short time fixed for
their being held and the difficulty of se
curing bond for collateral were offered as
an explanation of this attitude; but it served
to create an Impression that the eagerness
for additional money resources was not as
acute away from New York as here.
Preparation for the $10,000,000 Standard
Oil dividend on Saturday and of the $30.
OO'MIDO subscriptions to New York Central
stock on Monday wtrt aid to be under way
today, requiring some large calling of loans
with resulting recovery in the money rate.
The long-expected announcement of sub
scription rights to new Great Northern pre
ferred stock and the quotation for the rights
in the outside mm ket was followed by a
violent decline in" that stock which chilled
speculative enthuriasm over other expected
developments. The Increase In the Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis divi
dend was without influence on any stock.
The money markets were harder in Lon
don and Paris today, but foreign exchange
rates here reacted in response to our own
stronger money market. There was consid
erable Increase of selling pressure on etocks
lato 1h the day, and tho closing tone was
easy at g Miera.1 declines.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, ?2,0U2.0OO. United States 2s ad

Snowstorm and Snowshoe Drop
Sharply on the Local Exchange.
Other Lines Are Steady.
Coeur d'Alfne stocks were hammered hard
on the Portland and Spokane Kxcliungrn
yesterday. There was a oUc reduction in
the aaked price of Snowshoe and a J5c drop
in the bid price. Bids on Snrwstrm were
T4 c under Tuesday's hid and tne asked
price was $1.30 lower. There were no local
sales in either stock. Why such a Kood div
idend payer as Snowstorm should suffer
such a decline is difficult to say unless It
is due to a renewal of the Hcinze manipula
tion at Spokane, which is more than prob
able. Bearish tactics at the end were evi
denced by a general easing up throughout
the Coeur d' Alene list.
In other parts of the market a good tone
was maintained. Total sates were .V00

WHEATWEAK ALL DAY
Heavy Sales of May in the
Chicago Market.
PRICES CLOSE AT A LOSS
General vs of the Day Is Favor
able, but Is Ignored Receipts
in the Northwest Show
Decrease.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12. The wheat market
was weak all day, because of sales of be
tween 1,000.000 and 2.000.04)0 bushels of May
wheat by a prominent operator. These lib
eral sales Induced many of the pit-traders
to Joir. in the selling movement. Most of
tho offerings were taken by commission
houses, a large portion of tho purchases be
ing for Nor rh western houses. There was
little in the news of the day to cause any
decided weakness. Receipts of wheat at
Minneapolis and Duluth were considerably
less thn for the corresponding day last
year. The total primary receipts were over
20 per cint less than a year ago. The mar
ket' closed weak, with prices at the lowest
point of the day. May opened a shade
lower at 7ie and sMd off to ".Si-e. where It
closed fic lower than yesterday.
The corn market was weakened by sell
ing by cash houses, brought out by reports
of an increased movement in the corn belt.
Th market closed ic lower for May at
43
The break in the price of wheat and corn
caused profit-taking in oats. May closed
o iower at 35 e.
The provisions market was easier because
of a 5(rlOc decline in the price of live hogs.
The weakness of the grain market helped
to depress provisions. At the close January
pork was off 5c. lard was unchanged and
rlba were 2Jc lower.
