TIIE ,MOKXIG OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, J AMAKi 24, l'JOT. 13 BIDDING 15 im Excitement in the Potato Mar- ket Increases. WITH RENEWAL OF BUYING Shippers Are Paying T'p to $1.50 In the Country for Fancy Stock, Which lias Become Very Scarce. "With th renewal of operations in the po tato market th excitement has Increased and prices tiave risen sharply. Buyers yes terday paid $140 tind $1. AO In the country for strictly fancy lots and elc of lower grades were male at 85 cents to ft. 05. The percent age, of potatoes that will parte as No. 1 has become very small. Latest reports from the country Indicate that the It rat estimate of the damage toy the coll wave were "Tiy no means exaggerated, (m.thft Went Kld the. potatoes that were not clujr are prmctIon.il- n.11 ruined. Stock In the pit did not aufTcr o much, rxcept tha top rows, tvliilc mwt ,of ttie warehousfl potatoes escaped. When it Is remembered that for a con nlrl i-raNn time prwdlng the fren"up no dirftlnsr was done bcuw of the heavy raina, FOmf idea Of the loss of ground stock can be formed. The chrrklng- of opratlnns by the cold weather and the limes Incused have put up the markets all alonff the coast, tut the trade U divided In opinion tut to th future course of prtoee. Some of the best authorities ftfture that still bettrr values are In sticht for fancy Burbanks, while others believe tho bulge Is orfly temporary and will be followed by a reaction. Tho prospects, however, are that common potatoes are about m high as they can go now, .as any further advance in the lower grades will bring In Eastern potatoes. It was rumored yesterday that several cars of Colorado potatoes were pn ttio way to Port land, but this could not ba confirmed. San Francisco wires yesterday ptated that sales of Oregon Burbanka were made at $1.00 and that extra, fancy would, command as hlsh. 1 Th onion market showed no change. The market wax baroly steady here and at San rrancisco. At the latter- place Nevada onlona were being- moved in the absence of Oregqns. No shipments have been made from this end yet. A few may go out on the Roanoke, wh-n she cets free from the lee. and a. con siderablo quantity of potatoes will also be tihliwd on her. HEAVY Bt'VlNO IX WASHINGTON. Hopsrowffrs of That Ft ate. More Ready to Sell. The actuation In the hop market yesterday was unchanRfld. Most of the dealerai reported orders at low prices, but growers declined to Klve way. Some very heavy buying has been done in YVNshlnirton. where the farmers are freer sellers. While the majority of dealers regard the market as weaker, there are others who have not lot faith In it and believe that In spite of the heavy unsold stocks on the Cos at, a demand will materialize that will take care . of all or them. l.-aac rincus & Sons of Tacoma report; Our latest advices from England and the Kant are to the effect that the markets are quiet, with a downward tendency. There was eome buyinjr In XnRlund Jut previous to the turn of the year, but it was simply specula tive, being based upon an anticipated demand (iurinsf January. This demand falling to ma terialize, speculators are endeavoring to un load, wtiloh has caused a decline of ll shll lines lnc the first of tho year. In the mind of every well-poted man In the trade today there is hut one hope for holders of hops, either Rrowers or speculator, that La. bad crop reports during the months of June and July. EXPORTERS ARE AFTER WHEAT. Oata Strong With a Good Milling- Demand. Barley Firmly Held. The wheat market Is very firm, with ex porters buying up lots wherever they can find them. No business is passing on California account, aa the Oriental demand here, to gether with the advance in freight rates south, puts euch dealing out of the question. 'Oats show a firmer tone, with stocks light and a good manufacturing demand, while ac cord Ing to some of the largest handlers, trup plles are now practically out of first hands. Except in Columbia County, no large amount of barley remains east of the moun tains. Growers are holding stiffly and the market im firm. Butter Supply Still Short. ' Although receipt of butter and cream have increnaed somewhat since the -weather mod erated, the local supply is still short and prices very firm. Usir buy In- continues on a limited scale. Receipts were not so heavy yesterday said this temporarily checked the decline. The poultry market was dull and iin- clisnKcd. Orapares the Only Arrival.

INFLUENCE ENTIRE MARKET i I-"iir trier Incline In Activity at New York With Operations Largely in the Hands of Professionals. Rally Nat the Close. XEW TORK. Jan. 23. There was a fur ther decline in the activity of stocks today, the total deaHnRa bearing no larger propor tion to those of yesterday than did those of yentrrday to tho active market of Mon day. The character of the dealing's was lit tle changed. Professional operation again neemed to make up practically all of the dealings and constant shifting by traders kept values in Art unsalable condition. The early decline In sympathy with the break In the Hill stock' elicited support ins; orders of the kind that have made the beara grow timid and which gave co'.or to suppositions- that an accumulation of stocks has been o-oins; on with a desire to avoid violent fluctuations. Th- movmont In t ti Hill stocks was a direct response to the judicial upholding of the contention of the Minnesota State authorities that consent of the State JlallrondXand Warehouse Commis sion was requlrad for 1 1 e proposed lasuc of new Great Northern stock. The companion movement In Northern J'aclflc represented the view that Its proposed stock Increasa mlarht be opposed by similar measures, while the marked check In the upward movement of Kt. Paul was caused by the speculative assumption that the quick manner of com pleting Its gtoek Issuft had forestalled such probable hindrance. Another target for attack was Canadian raclllc. which was sold largely for foreian account. Some apprehension of an addition to outstanding stock had a part In Its de pression, but an overextended speculative position in the stock was e-iven the re sponsibility for most of the depression. Money continued to ork easier, but the terms at which railroad corporations are selllns note to ru for periods of several . . , nr. tne interest rate to ma turity run to 6 per cent and upwards, de tract from the eff-ects or the relaxing- money markets. A feature of the money market Is the Improved demand that has sprung up for commercial paper, which has resulted in a reduction In rates to o 14 per cent for prime arradea. Discounts in Berlin receded today. The foreign exchange market here was but little chineed. The operations of the sub- treaaury continue to yield a liberal addition- to the bank reserves, the ftaln since the last bank, statement DOw. amounting to 2.a5,t)00. . Today's fluctuations were lis various as tho.e of yesterday, but the closing found a rally In progress instead of a reaction as on yesterday.

PLANS ARE PRETENTIOUS Contemplated Expenditures Will Add ?0,3 15,000 to Bonded Debt of Portland. If Approved by the People. Voters of rortland will have to decide at the next June election whether the city is to be bonded to an additional amount of I2.375.0iv). A bill containing provisions for the Issuing of bonds to that extent Is ibelnft prepared by Cttv Auditor Uevlln, but before It Is submitted to the people it will fro through the hands or various public bodies and cMc improve ment organizations. The latest addition 1r 25.ooo for a separate system of water mains for Are protection, recommended yesterday by the ways and means com- mltte. The largest Item will be Tl.OOO.nOO for the extension of the park system, aa recom- mended try the FarK Board. By the ex- ppndittir- of thin amount of money Port land would have one of the finest parte systems possessed by Wewtem c-itles. The plan includes extensive playgrounds for ehlldrpn. Half a million of dollars la provided for the l-u I !lliiB 0f a. new bridge a.t ATafM- ' on street, and a. HKe sum for the acctui- tlon oy the city of public docKs. By the expenditure of t'lOO.OOrt for doaks it Is believed that tho city can reaulate dock, aae charges in Portland and that the investment will besides be profitable. City Auditor Devlin has long advocated that the city pursue such a course, and Mayor Lana is an enthusiast on the sub ject of public docks. The city would charge for the use ot the dockage accom modations but the charges would be reasonable and would serve as a regu lation. The ways and means committee vester- day afternoon recommended that 50,000 be Included in the bill for the laying ot a separate system .of water mains for rlre protection, and $126,000 for a new fire boat. This makes 3To,W0 Sor the Fire Department. Ten-Inch mains would be laid throuah out the business district to connect with the Btandplpea of the buUdlnsa. In Ulnar of nre the newdfire boat would pump water throuRh the mains and would be equally as valuable as half a dozen enaines. By. the installation of t lie sepa rate system of mains the fireboat would play an important part lit all blazes within the business district. With the fireboat at work pumping; from the river there would be hiarh pres sure In the water mains and stanclpipes.
