Newspaper Page Textf THE MORNING DREGONIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1907. 17 PAYMDREFORSUGAR Local Market Will Probably Advance This Morning. MOVES UPWARDS IN EAST California & Hawaiian Co. Raises Its List 20 Centa No Word From Western Up to Close of Business Hours. An advance in the local sugar market will probably be announced this morning. All grades of refined sugar went up 10 cents per hundred In the East on Thursday and this move was reflected on the Coast yesterday. Boon- after noon the California & Hawaiian tAnery advanced Its list prices SO cents frr hundred all around. A similar rise In the Western Refinery's prices was looked for, but up to the close of business hours no Such advices were received. This was at tributed to wire trouble, and the belief was general among the Jobbers that they would b notified this morning of an advance by the Spree k el a Company similar to that made by the California St Hawaiian. In the ab Cbo of ancb. advices local prices were not ehangad yesteyday. The Eastern sugar market is in a very strong position, as it has been- for aoxne time past. Hw York mall advices dated Monday said: The higher prices commaaaed by raws have brought about a better feeling In the refined market, and brokers are predicting an advance In price by all refiners within a few days, contingent upon the raw market retaining Us strength and upward tendency. Most of the delayed contracts made early last month, and which have now expired, have been cleaned up, and the trade is in a position to buy more sugar. Demand should be good about this season of the year, naturally, but In addition to this, grocers and Jobbers seem to have little on hand." MORE EASTERN POTATOES ARRIVE. Twenty Ctw-a Have Been Already Ordered for This Market. In addition to the two cars of Minnesota potatoes that reached Portland Thursday, p. car was received from Wisconsin yesterday. It Is estimated that 20 cars from Minnesota, Wlncousln and Colorado are now on the way to this city. They will all be needed, and more too, for the Oregon crop Is closely cleaned up. From the point of economy, however, the movement is bad for the State, as these outside potatoes, which cost not less than $L05 to lay down here, are used to replace home-grown potatoes, the bulk of which were sold at comparatively low prices. The feature of the market yesterday was the strong Inquiry from California for seed potatoes. The orders, of course, could be only partly tilled, and that with great dif ficulty. Owing to the. flooding of lowlands In the California potato growing districts the largest growers have found new loca tions and are now trying to buy seed wher ever they can. It is said that 20,000 acres of land heretofore used for other crops are being prepared for potato growing. The new fields will equal or exceed in size those abandoned, but will hardly produce such arge crops. . .. WESTERN WASHINGTON HOFS LOW. Orting Grower BeUs His Crop at 6V4 Cents Pound. TACOMA, Wash., April 12, (Special.) Isaac Placus A Sons purchased today from an Ortlng grower 175 bales of choice hops at 6Vs cents a pound. This lot was one of the finest produced In the Ortlng district. The grower was offered 20 cents on con tract for the hops, and could have sold them after they were in the bale at one time for 14 oents a pound. The market shows no signs of Improve ment. Advices received by the local deal ers from the leading hop centers of the world are discouraging. A telegram from New York, received this morning, read: "Consider the market ' outlook hopeless for this year and next" ANOTHER ADVANCE IX ONIONS. . Buyers Try to Make Contract", but Do Not Meet With Success, . Most of the Front-street dealers advanced their Quotations on onions yesterday, some asking up to $3.75 per hundred. A good many farmers are hauling In small lots of .onions, but as the majority of such receipts are Inferior they have but little effect on the market. It Is reported that buyers are out in the country trying to make contracts with grow ers for their coming crops, but they are meeting with poor success, as nearly every farmer aware of the situation In Cali fornia and believes that high prices will prevail nsxt Winter. STORAGE! APPLES WILL BE HIGHER. Reserve Stocks Will Boon Be Drawn Upon Orange Scarce. The stock of Oregon apples out of cold storage is about exhausted, and as soon as the trade is forced to use storage stocks entirely much higher prices can be looked for. The firmness of oranges is still a feature of the fruit market. As It Is almost im possible to procure medium sIms of navels, the Jobbers are preparing to bring up Medi terranean Sweets. Among yesterday's receipts were some Los Angeles strawberries in indifferent condi tion, which offered at 15 20c a pound. Two cars of oranges and two of cabbage were due last night. Creamery Butter Market Cnchangcd. The creamery butter market was weak yesterday, but no lower, either on Front street or at the city creameries. Country store butter Is arriving more freely, and as the outlet for it Is poor the price has dropped. The supply and demand for eggs ts about even and the market holds steady at 20 cents. Chickens continue scarce and very firm. Bank Clearings. Bank clearances of the leading cities of tho Northwest yesterday were: Clear. nps. Balance.

Not Induce Speculation.' NEW YORK, April 12. Prices moved Ir regularly downwards In the stock market today on narrowing transaction, of a pro fessional kind. The declines were said to have Induced some liquidation ot long stock, but Importance was assigned to the activity of tho bears in the market. The news of the day was not of great ap parent effect outside a few special stocks. In the coppers there was weakness both here and abroad. This was in connection with the fall In the price of copper war rants in the London market, and the mark ing down of the price oT copper upon tho New York Metal Exchange. The denials by agent, of the great producers of the relia bility of these quotations as an index of the actual market for copper was given a good deal of discussion, but they do not pre vent the stocks of the copper companies from being depressed by the lowering quo tations. Copper' securities abroad, Including Rio Tintos. fell sharply in price. This movement of the coppers had more or less sympathetic effect upon the whole market. Professions of apprehension over the pros pects for the crops were a factor in the depression. These were found in the reports of crop experts traveling in the crop re gions and their Influence was Increased by the firm tone in the wheat market. Be sides the immediate effect of these reports In depressing prices, they served as a re minder of the growing importance to be looked for from this time forward of the new crops as a market factor. The continued decline in money rates both here and abroad seems to have failed to in cite any active demand for securities. The failure of the market to respond to this de velopment has much to do with encouraging the bears to make attacks on the market, which have been noticeable for two days past. Preliminary estimates of the week's cur rency movements with the interior Indicate a balance in favor of New York of less than $1,000,000. The sub-Treasury operations have contributed (2,809,000 to the banks since the last bank statement. Last week's cash gain, although very large, was less than the preliminary estimates, and this gives some expectation that the preliminary figures somewhat understate the actual gain to be shown in tomorrow's statement. The abstract of National bank reports as of March 22 shows the extended position of the credit situation the country through and explains the expectation in banking Quarters of a continued demand for cash from the Interior to keep up reserves. From January 26 to March 22 the loans expanded $72, 676,469, while the percentage of legal re serves to deposits had fallen from 21.53 per cent to 20.74 per cent. Agricultural exports for March showed an increase la value over March of last year of $12,726,184, although each item except cotton showed- a decline from last year of 1.628,767 bushels for wheat and 1.441.285 bushels for corn. The market was hot under immediate pressure at the closing, but there was no vigorous recovery. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,204,000.

Jobbers' Distributions, However, Testify to Unbounded Confi dence in Future. NEW YORK. April 12. R. G. Dnn & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Erratic weather makes trade reports ir regular. Retail sales of Spring wearing ap parel are retarded by storms and cold weather, although some sections experience seasonable conditions. Temporary Interrup tion to retali distribution has no ill-effects upon Jobbing and wholesale business, how ever, heavy transactions and shipments tes tifying to confidence in the future, while mercantile returns show improvement. Several strikes have lately retarded work, notably in sawmills at Portland, Or., and in shipbuilding at Cleveland, but manufactur ing returns are most satisfactory on the whole. Textile mills, machine shops, steel plants and footwear factories have little ldlo machinery, forward business appearing more rapidly than the rate of production in many Most encouraging news comes from the iron and steel industry, large sales of pig iron being made for delivery up to the end of the year. Structural steel is now a no table feature, large negotiations being under way, especially for Western interests. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, April 12. Bradstreet".

WHEAT IS SOARING Sensational Reports of Dam age to Growing Crop. BIG JUMP IN MAY OPTION Ravages of the Green-Bug in Kansas and Oklahoma Said to Be Seri ons Late Seeding In the ' Northwest. CHICAGO, April 12. Everything in the way of trade gossip was subordinated to the news from the Southwest. The green bug is said to be malting rapid inroads into ter ritory hitherto free from this crop pest. Wheat fields throughout the southern tier of counties in Kansas are said to be dam aged extensively, and one e.xpert now in specting the crop In Oklahoma made the claim that only half a crop would be har vested in the northern section of that state. Talk of late seeding lu the Northwest re inforced these bullish advices. The Weather Bureau report, which predicted fair weather in Kansas and Nebraska, was an additional strengthening influence. Trading in the pit was extremely active all day. There being an orgent demand, offerings came almost ex clusively from longs. 1 The market opened excited and at a sharp advance. As trading progressed, prices soared still higher, the liberal profit-taking seeming to have little effect on the upward movement. The close was strong, with prices near the highest point of the day. May wheat opened c higher at 78 78 He, adveamd to 79 "4c and closed at 78a Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 452,000 bushels.

Possibility of great loss to the crop In Oklahoma and Kansas caused an unusually active demand for oats, which sent prices to a still higher level. The highest price for the season on the May option was recorded today. May oats opened o higher at 44V4ffl44ttc. sold at 44c and closed at 44 14 c.
