THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTE3IBER 25, 1907.
IT
OATS TO GO EAST
Dealers Figure on Making
Large Shipments.
LOWER RAILROAD RATE
Local Market Is Firmer, Willi a
Heavy General Demand Barley
Is In a Strong Position.
Wheat Is Active.
Dollars in oats re figuring on the poset
fclllty of making large shipments from Ore
iron and Washington to the Eaatern mar
kets thia Fall. Oats prices In the East, are
soaring, because of a partial crop failure,
and values have practically reached the
point now where shipments can he made
across the Rockies with profit. When the
new railroad rate goes Into- effect next
month, the movement will probably begin.
The new rate, which will be effective
October 15. will-be equivalent to a reduction
cf 2 per ton.
The local demand for oats, for general
feed and milling purposes. Is very strong
now and prices have had a further advance,
white being quoted at $26 and gray at 2S
per ton. Farmers are not ready sellers and
this adds to the firmness of the market.
The croo In the. Northwest is now figured by
omo dealers to be less than that of last
year.
The barley market is also very firm.
There Is a good Eastern demand for brewing
barley and an Improved local inquiry for
feed barley. The latter grade is decidedly
scarce, owing to the fine quality of the crop
this year. It Is estimated that fully four
fifths of the crop has turned out to be of
brewing quality.
The wheat market was firm and un
changed yesterday. Business was reported
as active for export account.
II CTITIOI S OFFERS MADE FOR HOPS
Market In the Country la Practically Tied
IP-
The hop market is in a more or less con
fused state. Little actual business is being
done, but the sltuatfon Is complicated by
prices quoted in the country by some deal
ers which are considerably above the limits
of the trade In general. These higher offers
are not producing results, at least the deal
ers who are making them are not buying at
a. - an far a. a n ha learner! Th
only visible effect of the offers and options
is to further strengthen the views of grow
ers and thereby to bring business to a
standstill.
No one here seems to know the object of
the manipulation that is going on in the
country. If the purpose la to raise the
market. It can only be accomplished by
making actual purchases at an advance, not
by making fictitious offers. The highest
price actually reported paid so far this sea
son in Oregon has been 9 cents.
Regarding the situation in New York
State, the Watervllle Times says:
.'The last few daya of bright weather
greatly helped the crop which was j-et un
harvested. but It came too late to benefit the
bulk of the crop which was already picked.
The quality will not be up to the usual
standard on account of the unfavorable
weather Just at the critical stage. There
will, however, be some good lots. Dealers
are not active, preferring to wait until the
crop ta ln-tha fcale ready - for- -sampling.
There have -been only a few sales at about
15c. The crop Is put by some at 35,000
bales, and we think that Is a liberal esti
mate. One man took the yield of 15 grow
ers, and as compared with last year the
amount was only a little over one-half of
the same acreage. Another took 20 other
growths and they- averaged nearly two
thirds. It will probably be a safer estimate
to place it at 60 per cent of last year."
POl'I.TRY IS WORKING DOWNWARD.
Big Buyers Take Advantage of the Increase
In Receipts.
The poultry market Is working toward a
lower level. Receipts are on the Increase
and the big buyers have taken advantage
of this fact to reduce their piychases and
thus bring about a further decline. This
is the time of year when the local supply
becomes heavier and a lower range of
prices can be expected.
The egg market was firm and unchanged
yesterday. Ranch stock was in limited
supply and sold readily at the quoted
prices.
Because of some slackening up of cream
receipts a few of the city creameries find
the market in better shape, so far as their
own trade is concerned, while others still
view the market as weak. On Front straet
trade is active, particularly on brands
quoted below the city creamery price, but
there Is a large supply there to work upon.
The cheese market Is quiet and about
steady. A considerable quantltyVof Eastern
cheeso is cn sale, which Interferes with the
movement in the Oregon product.
PEACH SUPPLY IS INCREASED.
lte Clings Arrive and Prices Are Not so
Firmly Held.
Receipts of peaches were larger yesterday,
most of tnem clings, and the high prices
that have prevailed for the last few days
were not so easily maintained. Very few
iales of fancy stock were made over $1.10
and for the ordinary run, 85 cents was the
general quotation. Grnpes were in fair sup
ply and in good demand. Apples and pears
moved well.
The market was practically bare of sweet
potatoes, but two cars were due last night,
tslx or eight more cars are rolling.

STOCKS ARE STEADY
But Still Feel Effect of Mon
day's Reaction.
SUPPORT IS FORTHCOMING
I Pinch In Money Rates Possible at
the Turn or the Month Re
quirements to Be Met.
Bonds Are Firm.
NEW TORK. Sept. 24. The effect of v-terday-,
reaction, which developed In the
stock market today, was quite distinct, but
the holding of the market steady seemed
enough to satisfy those Interested In the sup
port of price.. Further clearing of the sit
uation is awaited, especially the passing of
the quarterly requirements of the money mar
ket at the endi of the month.
The local money market remains tranquil as
yet. the rates for call loan, espeelslly showing
great ease, but a pinch with the turn of the
month is regarded as a possibility. In addi
tion to the regular requirements to be, met
in New York on October 1. there wilt fall
due an Installment of $11,625,000 of subscrip
tions to Northern Pacific slock. The domes
tic Interior also Is beginning to assert Its de
mands for supplies of currency, as Indicated
by the rapid decline In New York exchange
at Chicago. There was deposited at the sub
treasury today $250,000 for telegraphic trans
fer to New Orleans. These fact, gave special
Interest to reports which were circulated in
Wall Btreet today that the Secretary t the
Treasury had determined to allow the substi
tution of municipal, state and railway bonds
for Government bonds now held to secure
Government deposits with the banks, on con
dition that the Government bonds thus re
leased should bs used to take out additional
note circulation. This was a device employed
by Secretary Shaw, but there Is no official
confirmation of the report of its adoption at
this time.
The detailed report of condition of National
banks by sections on August 22. reported by
the Controller's office at Washington, was re
garded as proving that the Interior banks will
be able to command curreacy shipments from
New York in the usual volume, the Middle
Western group, for instance, - .bowing $35.
000,000 more is due 1 "oanks of that section
than a year ago. with $106,500,000 less due
by them to other Institutions.
The statement of treasury operations at
Washington each day do not Indicate thaf.
more than 410.000.000 of Government funds
has been freshly deposited with the banks as
yet, while It Is estimated that a total of
$42,000,000 or even $50,000,000 would be avail
able for that purpose this Fall. The avoid
ance of severe stringency, therefore, 1. still
hoped for.
The virtual granting of immunity to the
Chicago & Alton In the Standard .Oil rebate
cases was of moderate Influence on stocks,
as It had been expected. There wss renewed
weakness of the London copper industrials, the
price of the metal in New York being reported
unchanged. An outstanding short Interest In
the coppers helped the recovery. The in
junction granted against the Minnesota freight
rate law helped the Hill railway stocks.
Bonds were firm. Total sates, par value,
$1,114,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

COUNTY OFFICER IS GONE
Position of School Superintendent la
Vacant In Harney.
BURNS, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.)
There is a vacancy In the officer of
school superintendent of Harney Coun
ty, which must be filled by the county
court at its next meeting;. Professor
M. E. RIgby, who has held the office,
left here in August with the declara
tion that he was grotna; to visit friends
and attend to some business matters
in western and southern Oregon, and
that he would be back here the latter
part of this month to perfect arrange
ments for the county institute to be
held in October, but instead he has
gone to Montana, where his father re
sides and now writes to one of his
bondsmen that he will not return to
Oregon. There was some talk of his
resigning the office before he left here,
as there has been considerable dis
satisfaction and grumbling on account
of his methods and he went so far as
to state that he would resign if the
court would appoint Mr. Gerald Grifln,
of Narowa. to fill out the term, but the
members of the court would not com
mit themselves. There will be a spe
cial meeting of the court October 1,
when the matter will be settled. It
la thought that either Mr. Griffin or
Mr. A. E. Millard, of Harney, will be
appointed. There is no thought of any
thing wrong in the affairs of the offlce.
SEELET-JJUYS AT HOOD RIVER
Portland Grocer Invests $18,000 In
an Apple Orchard.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.)
Evidently convinced . that there is
money In Hood River apples even at $8
per box, Francis Seeley, of the firm of
Seeley & Mason, of Portland, has in
vested In an apple orchard near this
city. The purchase Includes 40 acres
for which Mr. Seeley la said -to have
paid $18,000. The farm Is considered one
of the best at Hood River. For several
years an effort has been made to Induce
this and other Arms at Portland to make
a market In that city for fancy Hood
River apples, but until this year the
claim has been made that the apples
were too high priced. The success of Mr.
Seeley In disposing of the fruit lie re
cently bought here at a big profit Is
thought to have Induced hlm to invest at
Hood River for the purpose of getting
a supply of fruit for consumption In
Portland.

CHICAGO MARKET FIRMER
Advance Is Also Aided by Reports
of Damage to Grain In the
Shock In the Dakotas fcy
Wet Weather.
CHICAGO. Sept. 24. The strenftth In
wheat developed late In the day. Prior to
that the market was weak because of a
decline of one pence at lterpool. Durlns;
the last hour, trade, which had been In
rather small Tolume. became more active
on the report that nearly 100 boat-loads
Jad been taken In New York for export,
and on reports of damage to wheat In the
shock In the Dakotas by wet weather. The
market was firm. December closed at
$1.004-
The corn market opened weak because
of heavy local receipts, the failure of the
predicted frost to arrive In the corn belt,
and also because of sympathy with wheat.
December closed firm at 67 c.
The oats market opened easy In sympathy
with wheat and corn, and later became firm
on covering by shorts. December oats
closed at B2c.
The provisions market was fairly active
on moderate buying by packers. January
pork being chiefly In request. At the close
January pork was 18c higher, at 115.80.

Chamber of Commerce will meet In a
few days to fix standards for all kinds
of grain grown In the Pacific North
west. The standards set by this com-,
mlttee are adopted by the London Corn

Inspectors In Portland and on Puget
Sound, whose duty it Is to Inspect all
outward-bound grain cargoes and fur
nish the consigners with certificate of
their quality. These certificates are
vised by the secretary of the Chamber.
Standard grain is made up' into small
sacKs, which are sent to all ports In
the world.
The grain standard committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is composed of
Peter Kerr, chairman; Theodore B. Wil
cox, R. Kennedy and W. J. Burns. The
Inspector for the committee at this port
Is Alexander McAyeal. The Puget
