THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1907. 17 FAITH 111 FUTURE Weakness of the Wheat Mar ket Only Temporary. TRADE LOOKS FOR ADVANCE' European Position Is as Strong as It Was Before the Flurry in ' Wall Street Which In settled Business. The future of the wheat market Is not viewed with misgivings by close observers in the trade. They regard the late slumps In the Eastern Exchanges and abroad as only temporary affairs, due to the financial difficulties In Wall street, and believe that as soon as money matters are straightened out the true wheat values will .reassert themselves. The foreign situation is un doubtedly as strong now as tt was before the financial flurry in the East, and that Europe needs wheat Is evidenced by the heavy export buying at every decline. Add ed to the known shortage of supplies In Eu rope Is the condition of the Australian crop as a strengthening factor In the market. The yield In 'that country will not only be light, but will probably be diminished to a point that will not allow of an exportable surplus. While the general view of the trade Is that there is nothing on the horizon to Indicate a serious weakening of values but. on the contrary, that the natural tendency of the market will be upward when It is left to Itself, still buying In this territory has been much restricted of late. Prices show but little change in spite of the fluc tuations at other points. The firmness of the barley and oats mar kets has resulted In higher Quotations for those cereals.. Mill feed Is strong at the recent advance. HOP BTJYTNG FOR EXPORT. Trading Wednesday and Thursday Was On a Large Scale. There has been more business in the hop market in the past two days than In any corresponding period this season. Tho In creased activity Is attributed in large part to the freer offerings by growers. While the holders of choice lots, as a rule, are still firm, there are many others who are anxious to dispose of their holdings while the de mand Is good. Buying for the export trade is the feature of the market. Klaber. Wolf A Netter oper ated heavily in export quality Wednesday and Thursday, and Carmlchael Is also re ported to be still buying. The purchases of the latter to date are said to aggregate over 1000 bales. Henry L. Bents has also been a large buy er on London account. Among his latest purchases are the crops of Chris Kocher and Fred Bents, of Aurora, at 0 cents. The J. w. Seavey Hop Company secured nearly 500 bales In the Mt- Angel, Bllverton and Eugene sections at 8 to 0 cents, and other firms also purchased for the American trade in the same range of prices. A Japanese lot of 473 bales at Brooks, bought early In the week at 7 cents. Is said to have been rejected. ' ONION GROWERS WILL NOT SELL. Buyers Freely Offering the Top Price, But Without Result. Practically the entire stock of Oregon onions in first hands Is off the market. Growers are the firmest kind of holders, and although buyers were out In the country yesterday offering 82.25, no sales were re ported. The onion farmers of this state realize that they hold the key of the situ ation In their own hands, and they are not likely to break a rising market at this time by letting go. Those that early in the sea son declared they would not sell under 2 cents have now advanced their Ideas to 4 cents or better. It Is estimated that not to exceed 20 cars of the Oregon crop, exclusive of seed, have been disposed of to date, and the weak holders are all believed to be out of the way by this time. The potato market is In a good position, so far as fancy varieties are concerned, and buyers are readily paying $1 for this kind. There la but little demand for Inferior grades. BETTER FEELING LN BUTTER MARKET. Supplies Cleaning Vp More Promptly Poultry Is Finn. Country produce of all kinds moved Yes terday at the previous day's quotations. Re ceipts of poultry were quite large, but the demand was good for all descriptions. Trie egg market held steady. A better feeling Is noted In the butter market, as supplies clean up more promptly. There is no likelihood of any lowering of prices, with grass getting short and feed values higher .than ever before. On the other hand, the present situation does not seem to Justify an advance in quotations. Oregon Wool In Boston Market. The latest advices from Boston note Steady buying of Oregon wools. The move ment In Valley stock has continued and the market Is now practically bare. Recent sales were at unchanged prices, from 27 to 87 M cents for No. 2, and 25 to 26 cents lor Nos. 1 and 3. Aside from a few small holdings of Eastern fine staple, that grade Is sold up. Small lots of No. 1 clothing have sold at 20 to 21 cents. Shortage of Grape Fruit. There was only a fair movement in fruits and vegetables yesterday, and former prices were, as a rule, maintained. The grape market continues to show strength. Citrus fruits of all kinds are firm. There Is a local shortage of grape fruit, but a small shipment is on the way. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

TONE BECOMES BUOYANT Frompt Belief at Hand In the Nick of Time to Prevent Further Sacrifices Pressure on . Bond . Market. NEW YORK. Oct. 24. The cheerful spirit In which operations began at the Stock Ex change today had given place to conditions that were fast slipping Into demoralization when In the nick of time $25,000,000 was sent into the Stock Exchange to lend on call under the auspices of the man who has been the directing force ' In shaping the measures of salvation for the critical posi tion which had arisen. This brought prompt relief from a tension that had grown up In the stock market, owing to the dearth of money or loans on call. Such supplies as were sent In were proving Inadequate to the requirements of hard-pressed holders of se curities, and heavy sacrifices were being made to procure funds. Forced liquidation had been in evidence at various points In the list all day, one or two stocks running off even at the opening when the general tendency was buoyant, due to relief and satisfaction over the measures announced overnight for saving the financial position. As the day progressed, persons standing obligated for loans at the Stock Exchange found themselves In no enviable position, and the brokers in the loan department were in large number and urgent throughout the day. The selling of securities which was going on was clearly necessitous, and the general air-of confidence which began to pervade the banking world was beginning to be regarded as poor consolation by thosa Involved in holding of securities. The heap ing up of resources to safeguard the bank ing position seemed to be aggravating the distress of the stock market rather than re lieving It, because diverting resources from all other purposes to that of fortifying barUc reserves. The $25,000,000 of relief probably saved the market from disaster, and the re bound which followed was cenclusive. The market closed in some confuBlon after this violent rally, but the tone was as strong in the main up to the closing, the United States Steel stocks signalizing the transformation In the situation by rising generally over last night's levels. These stocks were notably Arm all day, although the sinking fund bonds began to be acutely affected by the pressure of liquidation late In the day. The bond market was more .responsive to the pressure of liquidation than at any time heretofore during the present trouble.- High- grade securities were sold apparently to pro vide means for" protection of, sucn otner holdings as were totally unsaleable. There were not a few In that condition In such a market as today's. There was gloom and depression In consequence In the nelgn borhood of the Stock Exchange. This was effectually dispelled by the receipt in the loan market or the bankers' xuna lor inn relief of the money stringency. In spite of the acute depression or tne stock market, the feeling at all times was one of encouragement for the hope that the threatened crisis in banking had been avoid ed. The suspension of several smaller bank ing institutions In the city, removed from the financial district, did not impair this feeling. Neither did the continued run on the Trust Cempany of America or tne signs of runs on other minor trust companies. The determinations of the great powers among the trust companies to stand to gether for the protection of the Trust Com pany of America was regarded as assuring th solution of the difficulty. The unlimited offer of thfl Secretary of tha Treasury of government facilities to meet this crisis was the powerful co-operative factor which con firmed the hopes of saving the situation. The stock market itself closed in a sudden re vulsion os" sentiment from the tone almost of despair Into which It had fallen. Bonds were demoralized. Total sales, par value. $5,030,000. TTnlted States Zs regis tered declined 14, the coupons 14 and the 4s registered 1 per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. AAnm' Kinnu .. 100 165 165 165 Amal.
