HOPS Much quiet buytnff under way. POUI..TRT Chrtetmaa turkey . ftiar Icrt uncertain. EGOS Weak, and quoted lower. BUTTER Front -atrco-t market, drag ging. CHEES0 Scarcer and firm. FRUIT Overdue bananas arrive. Tn active demand in the Oregon wool market In the past two weeks, which, has resulted In a practical clean-up of tlie clip of the state, was but a reflection of the strong inquiry that has existed In the Eastern market for the product of Oregon and all 'other kinds of wool as well. .With the dwindling of supplies in' the East, buy ers lost no time In entering the Western territory and buying up all the remnants they could lay their hands on. Recent advices from Boston estimated that not to exceed uO.000 pounds of Valley wool and 2,000,000 pounds of- Eastern Ore gon remained on that market. This quan tity has since been cut down, by later pur chases, but the supply will soon be aug mented by the late shipments which are now on the way. t Of the trading in Oregon wools In the Boston market last week, the Commercial Bulletin says: There Is considerable activity in Oregon wool, both Htaple and "Valley being in volved. Makers of fine worsteds are seeking the former, and a recent transfer of 500,000 pounds in onn house- alone Is reported. One lot of 300. OOO pounds was rejected on ac count of the wool not equalling the expec tations of the consumer, but in till It Is esti mated that f.'lose to a million pounds were old this week at 24!25c, the latter figure helng given for chotvo wools. The scoured cost of some purrhases will be near 7.r. There is alRo a l:ir demand for Valley, with No. 2 bringing :tO(g(lc. The supply of Valley Is now practically cleaned up. Of the general situation the same paper says : T.ie- market, as a whole, Is In splendid condition, and many dealers are today ob . talnlng 1 or 2 cents more for' their wool than they would have been plad to accept a couple of months ago. But in the meantime the situation had changed; then the different houses were generously stocked with high priced wools not wanted by consumers, wnllc now the consumptive demand is con tinually apparent, but the desirable wools have vanished. Thus in marked contrast to a short time ago, merchants control the situ ation. Their power, begun by the scarcity of desirable stocks. Is being daily augmented by the increasing strength shown In the for eign markets. From no part of the world does there come any hope of lower values in the near future. The consumption of the Unltd States, we think, shows little difference from that of Inst year, and although the domes tic clip Is practically unchanged In size, our importations are some 50.000.000 pounds less t'nan in HH3. In thi expectation of break ing dealers' price, t-ho mills allowed their stocks to touch a very low level, and the recent necessary activity was proportionately great, thus cleaning up the good wools in hort order. UNCERTAIN MARKET FOB TTRKEYS. Eastern Supply Coming That Will Not Help Price. The Christmas turkey market is very un certain and there Is no assurance that prices ' will hold up to the close. Receipts have started out heavy, indicating better supplies tn the country than was expected. A mixed car of Eastern poultry Is also coming and If It should arrive on time will have a weakening effect on the market. The car, however. Is not certain to be In in time. Most dealers quoted the market weak yes terday, though some were satisfied with the outlook. The few looetl sales made were from 21 to 22 cents, only one firm quoting 23 cents. There was a good shipping de mand, and this helped steady the market. The local retail trade Is looked for as buy ers today. The chicken market was very slow and unsatisfactory, soma houses cleaning up at 10 cents. Geese and ducks were firm. Eggs were quoted weak at 82 H to 35 cents. The butter market on Front street drags, but prices have been maintained up to the present. A. fair trade Is reported by. the city creameries. Ifops Strong and Active. The hop market continues decidedly ac tive, both in this state and in California. As is to be expected under the circum stances, the operations of the dealers are kept Tery quiet, and this is one of the strongest features of the market. It Is known that dealers who would not pay over 12 cents a week ago are new freely offer ing 18 cents. Supplies of Fresh Produce. ' Yesterday's receipts on Front street in cluded five cars of bananas in good condi tion, one car of oranges, one car of sweet potatoes and a car of Grand Ronde apples. The latter were quoted at 75 cents to $1. Trading In the fruit and vegetable lines was brisk. C heese Becoming Scarce. The cheese market Is vvery firm. There re only 1200 cases In the Tillamook coun try and not over 400 .ases will be made there In December and January. Most of the Tillamook factories are closing down. Bank Clearings.

MONEY '.BECOMES EASIER Prices Make Some Headway Upward Cntil a Ijate Decline tn Iiouis- vllle & Xashville Weak ens tlie Kntire TJst. NEW YORK, Dc. 20. The stock market today save evidence of a subsidence of the presnure of liquidation which was so strong ly manifest yesterday. There was desultory recovery In prices on a volume of business less than Sialf that of yesterday.' In the lat ter stages of the trading, the market be came practically stagnant. This Is one of various signs that the strength of the mar ket was not due to an Important re-entry Into the market on the long side. Stocks which were weak yesterday were the principal gainers in today's movement, while those that offered firm resistance to yesterday's weak break moved but narrowly in the upward turn of prices today. The In ference suggested is that the large respon sibility of buying to cover shorts -by bears was the demand which lifted prices. The hasty unloading of the 4iill stocks and of St. Paul seemed to hare come to an end. and the market was much relieved from a depressing sympathetic influence by this. Discussion of the unusual manner of the St. Paul stock issue continued very active and the question was canvassed -with a weaken ing effect on the stock "market. The easing of the call money market put an end to the forced selling of stocks by withdrawal f credits. The early rate for call loans was as high as 10 per cent but the rate receded to 10 per cent before noon and to 7 per -cent afterward. This result was plainly due in an Important degree to the liquidation effected in the stock market, yesterday. The result was seen In the num ber of brokers who were paying off loans, having sold their stocks. An effect was. pro duced on the tone of the money market by the announcements of railroad companies that they would prepay dividends and in terest due on January lprior to that date, following the example "of the New Tork Central announced yesterday. The St. Paul and the Chicago & Northwestern companies took similar action today. This money is not Immediately available to the money market but the assurance that It would be before January 1 had a soothing effect on se ntjnxcnt- Natlitng further was heard of yesterday's rumors' of further assistance for the money market from the Treasury Department. There, was a report circulated that tne banks had the countenance of the Washing ton authorities, for an encroachment upon their reserves- in an emergency, with the ap plied assurance that the additional Govern ment deposits might be regarded as a po tential .safeguard for the situation. "The ef fect of the treasury measures a'r'eady adopt ed still made a meager showing In New York. The gain of the banks from the sub treasury for the bank statement this week has reached (4.6GG,0H and the Government institution was a- debtor at the clearing house today for J 1.097,985. The weekly return of -the Bank of England made It evident why any withdrawal of gold from London for New York account would force en advance' tn the official discount rate. With a loan expansion of over $29. 000,000 " and ' a decrease in bullion, holdings of over J19.BO0.OO0, the proportion of re serve to liability is reduced for. the week from 47.02 per cent to 38.54 per cent In the weekly statement. The Bank of France also was weaker, but that instrtution parted with additional gold holdings for the relief of the English bank. Nearly $2,000,000, however, left the English bank for South America. - - Louisville" &. Nashville's decllile late in the day affected the whole list. Gains were greatly impaired and tbe market clotted easy. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, JI.SUIMMIO. United States new 4s declined U per cent on call. - v CLOSING. STOCK QUOTATIONS. . .
