THE. MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. L Pacific Coast Potato and Onion Markets Breaking. LARGE SUPPLIES FOR SALE ban Francisco Markets Steadily Drop Under the Pressure of Exces sive Receipts From Ore gon and the East. Potato prlcs continue on th downward grade and onions are weakening. Buyers of potatoes have practically withdrawn from the market except where they can buy good lots at concessions. Even at lower prices they are not disposed to operate except on a mail scale. . In spite of the depressed mar kets, good shipments continue to so for ward to San Francisco by boat and rail, as the shippers here have no object In hold ing; previous purchases, but are forced to sell them for what they will bring. The sole troublo with prices just now Is the large quantity of potatoes and onion's being dumped on the San Francisco market. A wire received late yesterday afternoon from -th Bay City said; "The onion market is busted and the potato market breaking badly. Today's arrivals from Oregon were 13 cars of potatoes by rail and six cars of onions. Stocks are pressed for sale and buyers hold back.' The arrivals of potatoes at San Francisco os Monday, according; to a letter received yesterday, were 14 cars by rail and nine cars by the steamer Elder. These came on top of unusually heavy receipts In the lat ter part of last week and only a small pro portion of them were moved. Another Sail Francisco letter said: "Everybody is falling over everybody else In the effort to sell. The market Is depressed and fast declining and prltoa are 15c to 23c lower than on Satur day. Returns from last week's shipments of Oregon Biirbanks showed good common po tatoes selling there at $1.40 to $1.65 and choice grades at $1.75. Fancy potatoes were quoted nominally at $1.00 to $2, and a very desirable lot might bring a small premium. Several cars of Eastern Oregon potatoes have passed through Portland en route to San Francisco and more are understood to be on the way. The only thing that Is like ly to arrest the decline in the Bay City would be a marked increase in consumption, which may result from the lower prices. HOPS ARE BOUGHT FOR EXPORT. Fui-chasea by CarmU'ha! at Brooks Trad ing Betwem Dealers. The reported purchases of export hops by Carmlrha-l, of Salem, were confirmed yes terday. They were bought at Brooks and consisted of the Finney lot and another small lot aggregating two carloads. Ton cents was paid for the Finney hops and lOic for the other lot. There was some trading be tween local dealers .during the day. The Nw York Journal of Commerce of February 23 contained the following item, evidently pertaining to the operations of P. R. G. Horst, which will be of interest to hopmen here: ."A letter from the Coast ad vanced the opinion that a prominent dealer who has been buying freely is not as Ion of hops as Is generally believed. The writer stated that it is understood on the Coast that the dealer in question is identified with a combination of two or three English deal ers aiid Is handling most of the hops bought by him for tbeir account and shipping by . way of Baltimore and Galveston.' The following table shows the movement of hops at the port of New York up to Ast week : Receipts. Exports. Imports, "Week ending Feb. 21..

There Is a growing demand In the poul try market for small chickens of the rfying and broiling size. A few coops of this de scription came in yesterday and sold at from $2.R0 to $4.50 per dozen. Those bring ing the latter price, which was equivalent to about 30c a pound were of just the right size and in excellent condition. Old hens were also in good request and were quoted at 14c and 14 V; c, with a fancy lot occa tonally selling at 15c. The chicken market has been good for several weeks past, but the receipts have been more or less mixed. Ducks were also firm, but geese and turkeys were weak. Eggs arrived heavily, but there was good out-of-town trade that prevented any accumulation. Prices were unchanged from the previous day. CHEESE SUPPLY BECOMING SMALL. Market Is Very Firm With a Good Local and Shipping Demand. The cheese market is very firm, as stocks arc light and there is a good demand, not only locally but from Seattle. San Francisco and I -oa Angeles. Shippers can only fill part of the orders coming from those points. Aside from the storks held in this city, the state is practically cleaned up. Less than SO cases remain at Tillamook, and no new cheese will be available before April 1 or 15. There is much surprise in the trade that in view of the situation the price has not ad vanced. A year ago -when stocks were much larger, higher; prices were ruling. The Ban Francisco market has lately advanced and high prices prevail In the East.- Larger Sales of Butter. A steady increase in the demand for but ter is reported by the city creameries and commission men. Receipts are gradually 'becoming larger, but hardly keep pace with the growing consumption. The larger sales of best grades of butter are due to the fact that no more storage butter is to be had. While the market is firm, no change in price Is looked for. Bananas Arrive tn Good Order. Four cars of bananas came in yesterday, all of them in excellent condition. "Two cars of oranges were also received. Two cars of small mixed vegetables arrived lato and will be on sale this morning. Another mixed car of Eastern Oregon apples was received. The demand for both fruit and vegetables .was active. , Advance in Local Flour Prices. The expected advance of 10c per barrel in local flour prices took effect yesterday, ac cording to the. new price card of the Port land Flour Mills. All grades are covered by the advance.

MARKET IS UNSUPPORTED Developments at Interstate Com merce Investigation Responsible for Tone of Speculation. Low Levels Touched. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The stock market was upset today by selling of the same ex tensive and varied character as that which broke prices on Monday's low level for the year. Yesterday's rally had given the Im pression that Monday's selling was largely for professional short account. Today's sell ing had much the appearance of liquidation and the market was In the same unsupport ed condition as on Monday, a fact which accounted largely for the material inroads on prices on comparatively light selling. It was generally held that the develop ments at the Interstate Commerce Commis sion inquiry were responsible for the tone of the speculation. It was not any Imme diate item of information disclosed, that prompted the selling of securities, but the fears of the ultimate consequences growing out of the investigation. The recognized aim of the investigation Is to demonstrate the desirability or necessity of more Btringent control over railroad companies by the Gov ernment, especially in the matter of issues of capital and purchase of stocks in other properties, on account of the bearing on the freight rates charged which these .matters have. It is believed that so far as the im pression upon the public mind of those con cerned, the , inquiry will have the effect of strengthening the contention of the Govern ment substantially and of furthering the efforts to secure legislation to secure those aims. The acknowledged effect of the hear ing upon the mind of observers is that of an exercise .of individual power through the resources of the great railroad companies that seems invincible. The showing is im posing even to the Wall-street mind, which has become familiar with the conditions and views them with the spirit which custom breeds. A decided growth in the agitation for restriction and control of corporate pow ers is expected. Some disturbance was caused to sentiment by supplementary rumors of the interest felt on the part of the stockholders of some of the great railroads In a movement parallel to that in the Insurance companies follow ing the Insurance' Investigation. These ru mors were poorly defined and were given their principal influence by associating some of the names presented In the campaign against-the old insurance contror In the al- Ljeged plan for the new Crusade of minority stockholders. Additional legal restraints upon the fiduciary activities of railroad di rectors and executive officials were the sug gested method of procedure. The news of the passage by the Senate of tne Aiarich currency measure was of dis appointing effect on the market. There was a momentary rise in the opening dealings. but prices promptly sold off again with the growing downward impetus. The average level at the lowest was rather lower than was touched earlier in the week. The aver age list was affected by acute weakness in a few prominent stocks. There was some ex tensive buying during the final hour, which seemed to be a profit-taking by the bears. It had the effect of steadying the market, but there were no important recoveries. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. (1.920,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing bales. Adams Express High. Low.
