SLOW TO SELL HOPS
Growers Not Disposed to Take
Present Prices.
EASTERN DEMAND IS GOOD
Many Orders on Hand That Cannot
Easily Be Filled Heavy Arrivals
of Feed From the Country.
New Sugar List.
HOPS CSrowers are Blow sellers.
FL'HiD Receipts of hay, oats and
barley larger.
SUGAR Jobbing prices revised.
FRUIT Bananas arrive in fine con
dition. POULTRY Chickens In atronc de
mand. BGGS Weak, but no lower.
There was some falling off yesterday in
the volume of hop business, but It was not
due to any lack of demand, but rather to
the unwfllingness of growers to sell at the
prices offered. Buyers report It exceedingly
difficult to Interest country holders at the
present time. The weak growers have near
ly all sold out and those that still have hops
are waiting to see what happens after the
first of the year. They are not going to hold
Indefinitely, but the spurt Just before Christ
mas encouraged them to believe that the
market Is on a better foundation than ap
'peared to be the case a short time ago.
Therefore it Is likely that but little wlH be
offered on the market before New Year's.
Considerable bear talk Is being heard, as
is usually the case during a lull, and there
Is evidently a moro or less extended short
Interest that Is opposed to any advance In
the market at this time. It Is pointed out
that a number cjf the big dealers are selling,
but as they are turning a legitimate profit
on the transactions, this Is no evidence of
weakness, but on the contrary shows the
healthy position of the market. Other deal
ers make no secret of the fact' that they
are supplied with Eastern orders which they
willful as soon as they can find sellers.
A-Clumber of deals were made Christmas
in I.ane County, but several of them were
riot closed as the quality did not run up to
the samples. A special dispatch' fro Eu
gene reports the following sale:
Eugene, Or., Dec. 27. Yesterday, Fischer
brothers sold to Kola. Nels, through their
agent, Frank Heyer, 170 bales of hops at
12'4c. Mr. Heyer states that this leaves
about 2oOO bales in the county, most of
which are in the warehouses. These figures
Indicate that about three-fourths the Lane
hop crop for 1906 has been disposed of.
Larger Receipts of Feed.
Most feed dealers believe that the present
prices will be the highest of the season.
Values have advanced more or less steadily
since the crops were harvested, first on the
strong demand and later because of scar-"
city, due to the poor car service. Supplies
are now coming forward better and hay, es
pecially. Is arriving very freely. If the
receipts continue large, there Is some like
lihood of a decline, but if too much is not
dumped on the market, hay, barley and
oats can be counted upon to rule steady.
Fruitgrower's Annual Review.
The annual review and harvest edition of
the California Fruitgrower, which has just
been received, Is the best issue of the kind
yet turned out by that periodical. It con
sists of 80 pages of facts and figures about
the fruit industry of the Pacific Coast and
of California In particular. Subjects treat
ed of at length are fresh, dried and canned
fruits, vegetables, olives, salmon, wine,
beans and nuts. A statistical section con
tains much valuable information in handy
form. The edition Is well Illustrated.
Firm Market for Poultry,
A good demand exists for chickens and
as receipts since Christmas have been very
light, prices have steadily advanced. Geese
and ducks are also In limited supply and
firm. Turkeys rule slow.
Eggs were quoted weaker yesterday, but
were no lower.
Butter holds steady and unchanged.
Revised Sugar Priors Are Lower.
The Portland wholesale grocers yesterday
revised their sugar prices to meet the con
ditions now existing In the trade. The new
list shows a reduction of 12iic per hundred
from the prices previously in effect on all
grades. No changes hava been made by the
refiner.
Bananas Arrive In Good Condition.
Three cars of bananas arrived yesterday In
good selling condition. A car of sweet po
tatoes also arrived and a mixed car of
oranges and grapefruit was due last night.
Trading in fresh roduce was active in the
forenoon.
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearances of the leading cities of the
Northwest yesterday -were:

OFFER FEW STOCKS
Demand Exceeds Supply. in
New York Market.
TONE STRONG THROUGHOUT
Lack or Pressure to Sell Gives Trad
ing' a Dull Appearance More
Confidence - in the
Money Outlook.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2T. The supply of
stock offering in the market today- was scan
ty and the demand, though not large, was
sufficient to lift prices. The absence of any
pressure to sell stocks was the most distinct
characteristic of the day's market and It
was Jhis that gave it the dull and strong
tone. In spite of the near approach of the
January settlements and a higher range
for call loans than was secured yesterday,
there was no sign of necessitous liquidation.
Borrowers were able apparently to secure
facilities at the rates asked and were willing
to pay them and there was no forcing of
holdings on the market.
The resumption of trading in the London
stock market after the holidays seemed to.
be in favor of higher prices for Americans,
as considerable advances were scored there
before trading began here.. The responsive
opening here was followed by considerable
selling to realise and a setback in prices
resulted. The rebound in the Hill stocks re
moved one of the Influential factors in
causing the recent depression In -the market.
All of the trans-continental railroads were
strongly bought. There also was a decided
upward movement In Reading.
There was a growth of confidence in the
money outlook. Today was the final day for
the payment of the (30.000.000 of subscrip
tions to New York Central stock. It is be
lieved that this sum when paid to the treas
ury of the railroad will become Immediately
available for temporary use in the money
market and so help to tide over the year-end
demand.
A feature of the day was the decline in
the open market discount rate in London,
notwithstanding weak returns by the Bank
of England, the Bank of France and the
Imperial Bank of Germany. A further de
cline in foreign exchange also broadened
the profit now admitted to exist on engage
ments of gold in London for Import. Local
bankers continued to maintain the opinion
that no Inward gold movement was Imme
diately imminent.
The strong advance in Great , Northern
preferred. Northern Pacific and St. Paul
was accompanied by declines in the sub
scription rights to those stocks. Whatever
the sources or the motives of the day's de
mand, its presence was unmistakable and
was well sustained. A late reaetlnn Hit rn
V profit-taking on the day's rise was followed
Dy a strong closing.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, (1.698.000. United States new 4s reg
istered declined 14 per cent on call.

Humphrey Spoils Yarn About Van
couver Barracks Removal.
OREGON'IAN NKWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec. 27. There is absolutely no
truth in the story sent from Washington
to the effect that Vancouver Barracks
will he abandoned or be transferred to
American Lake, near Tacoma. Quartermaster-General
Humphrey, who has di
rect jurisdiction over army posts, said
today that Vancouver Barracks would
not be abo'.ished and its garrison would
not be diminished, in fact no change is
contemplated at that post.
He said efforts are being" made to have
the brigade encampment established at
American Lake in order that the Govern
ment may have permanent grounds for
Summer maneuvers of state and Federal
troops, hut the establishment of such en
campment will not have any effect what
ever upon Vancouver Barracks.

WORKED AS STENOGRAPHER
e Ha j Ian Was Twltttd About His
Effeminate Appearance.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27. Hiram O.
Hance, a lawyer of 229 Broadway, is con
vinced that Nicolai de Raylan, the Chi
cago woman who posed as a man was
employed In the offices of the late Colonel
T. C Campbell in this city 10 years ago.
The young "man" secured employment
as a stenographer under the .name of
Langel and because of his general ap
pearance and effeminacy there was a
disposition to twit Langel, but this dis
appeared when a woman came to the
office and was Introduced as Langel's
wife. Langel was very efficient and there
was regret when illness forced "him" to
give up work.
Mr. Hance said he studied the recently
published photographs of De Raylan and
was Impressed with the almost complete
Identity with the features of Longel. Mr.
Hance regards as conclusive that De
Raylan and Langel are one and the same,
that De Raylan had died of tuberculosis,
a disease with which Langel was unmis
takably affected.
Go to Yaqul Country at Own Risk.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. The right of
the United States to Intervene with the
view of suppressing the alleged murder
ous acts of the Yaqul Indians in Mexico
is seriously questioned by officials of the
State Department. From the highest of
ficial sources it was explained today that
Americans and others who go into that
part of Mexico inhabited by the Yaquis
do so at their own risk. The ease was
said to be analogous to the early days
of the Far West, in the United States,
when prospectors and others went into
Indian country, where it, was unsafe for
white people" to be, and it was added that
had some foreign subject been killed or
injured there the Government would have
resented Interference from the outside.
