wir. advices lust received by the trade
Indicate & weaker condition In the Eastern
prune market. This Is of especial Interest
in this state, as a part of the crop Is still
. i i in
Eastern prices Is the natural consequence
of linhter buying, brought shout by the
closing of mills and other establishments
which has been going on since the finan
cial trouble began. There are also re
ports of a good many rejections In the East,
and It now looks as If there would b a
considerable stock carried over. The prune
market advanced to an unusually high
point in the Summer, and when the demand
became restricted, weakness at once became
apparent In values. There is no possibility
of figuring what the final outcome will be.
but at the present time the tendency of
values is downward. The Oregon growers
who sold their crops early can be congrat
ulated i r,ettled tendency is also noteo m
other dried fruits, a. Is the case with
nearly all commodities, but this section will
not be affected much by any change except
In prune values.
HOI'S ARE NOW MOVING FKEKI.Y
Active Trade In the Oregon and Washing
ton Markets.
An active movement Is under way in the
hop trade of this state and Waehlngion.
It is estimated that 2300 bales hav. changed
hands In Oregon so far thU week. Of this
amount about 2000 bales were secured at
prices ranging from 6 to 6 cents. . In spite of
the low prices many growers are anxious to
sell. Seven cents Is Quoted by dealens as
the extreme .top for the boat aualll and
although such prloes mean a loas to the
growers, they seem .willing. In view of the
uncertainty, that hangs over the market, to
take this loss rather than the chance of a
greater loas later. The present market is
a fine thing for the shurt sellers, and It can
be taken for granted that they are nq.
missing the opportunity to cover their sales.
Among the transactions reported yesterday
was the sale by B. L. Young, of Independence,
to Catlln & IJnn, of 150 bales of choice hops
at a price reported to be either 6 or 1 cents.
A telephone message from North Yamhill re
ported that Jack Carmlchael bought an ex
port lot of 80 bales there at 6 cents. In
Washington. Carl Motter secured the Frey
lot of 100 bales, choice at Ortlng at 8 cents,
and McNeff Brothers paid the same price for
the Black lot of 183 bales at Chehalls, and
4 centa for the Brownell lot of 120 bales at
Puyallup.
The hop movement In the United States for
the fiscal year ended June 30 and the two
previous years is given by the crop reporter

r ACKERS ARE IN A GOOD POSITION.
-Better Able to Stand Tight Money Situation
Than In Former Years.
Eastern packers of tomatoes and corn
have confidence In the future and many are
said to be in better position to stand the
strain of the tight money situation than
has been the case In some of the former
easonB. One of the most prominent Mary
land pnekern is quoted an saying:
I have looked over the situation among
the packers carefully In the last few weeks
and know for a Tact that they are as a
whole In a better position to sit on their
holdings until better times come than was
the case last year or the year before. The
, packers In the last few days have come to
realize' that they can do nothing with the
Jobber until the money stringency haa been
relieved. This Is the explanation of the
comparatively small offerings of corn and
tomatoes now on the market. There is abso
lutely no pressure to sell corn or tomatoes
by the large packers. Here and there
smaller concerns are willing to move goods
to get a little cash, but these are isolated
cases.
"The pack of tomatoes for ths coun
try Is estimated at Xrom 8.500.000 cases to
10.000.000 cases. Of this pack a very con
siderable portion has been sold and a good
deal of It has gone into consumption. The
carry-over Into the new year will. I believe,
v prove to be smaller than that last year,
and some of the holders are confident that
the market will advance to at least 93c
per dozen on full standard No. 3s.
UNITED STATES CHEESE SUPPLY.
Reduction in Visible Warehouse Stocks Re
T ported by Chief Webster.
The compilation of cheese statistics by
Chief Webster, of the dairy divlson of the
Department of Agriculture, shows a sharp
decrease In holdings In all American mar
kets last month. The output for the win
ter season is saiHSHn o i ov ucr cent
short, due to the general scarcity of milk
in most seotions. The comparative figures

HOLIDAY TRADE IN PRODUCE LINES.
Ret Hers Expect Good Business. Judging
From the Buying.
The holiday trade In the produce markets
Is opening up and sales, both to the city
and country trade, are fully as good as ex
pected. Figs, dates, nuts, imported grapes
and cranberries supply most of the move
ment in this line and the way the retailers
, are buying indicates that they expect a
first-class demand.
A car of oranges arrived yesterday and
found ready sale at firm prices The orangs
market Is m good shape all over the coun-
try. Prices are holding up well in Califor
nia where difficulty la found In transport
ing tlte crop. A car of bananas came in that
was several days overdue. Three other cars
were due yesterday, but have not been
located
THANKM.IVl.Nt; TIKKKVS APPEAR.
Hut Sales are Made at 19 lo 20 Cents Eggs
Firm and Butter Steady.
A few shipments of Thanksgiving turkeys
have come in. but the trade is not ready
to take hold so easily and prices drag.
Prices quoted yesterday range from 19 to
20 cents. From the advices the jobbers are
receiving It Is now evident that the supply
next week will be large.
Live poultry of most kinds moved freely
yesterday. Chickens were In demand at
firm prices and ducks and geese also sold
well. Live turkeys were the only weak
spot In the market.
There Is an active movement In eggs, as
Is to be expected at this season, and ranch
stock is very firm.
Butter moves out well with the city
creameries and prices are on a steady basts.
The demand on Front street Is fair.
Why Rice is Steady.
There Is no probability of rice prices de
clining much In the near future, accord
ing to Dan Talmage's fions Company, the
great authority on this staple, who say In
their latest market letter:
"Demand for the week has been fair.
Buyers are taking freely for needs. The
general distributive movement Is very near
usual volume. This Is no doubt due to the
unique position rice holds In comparison
with other foodstuffs; not having been the
football of speculation, prices have been
maintained at about the normal range the
past two years, hence rice la now about
the cheapest food on the counter."

MATURING OF LOANS
Causes Forcea Liquidation in
Some Quarters.
UNSETTLES STOCK PRICES
Evidence That Interior Banks Are
SlreiigthenlnK Their Position.
Rise in the Premium
on Currency.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. There was not
the consistent weakness in the stock market
today that was so conspicuous yesterday,
but the course of prices was uncertain and
fluctuating all day. Liquidation of the
special kind that was evidenced yesterday
was suspended for a time today. The per
ception of this fact prompted some cover
ing of shorts put out, during the decline.
Hence the midday rally In the market.
Suppositions as to . the source of yester
day's rumors had crystallized Into rather
definite information, pointing to the personal
needs of an individual capitalist which di
vorced the operation from any suggestion
of any unfavorable comparison of develop
ments. The rumors were taken to heart,
however, as an evidence of possible inci
dents to occur from time to time with the
maturity of loans to Influential capitalists
who no longer command the unlimited tol
erance of banks and who may be. In conse
quence, forced to similar expenditures to
meet their obligations. There was a recur
rence of such liquidation late In the day.
The distinctly easier tone of the money
market in the last day or two does not
serve as an assurance against exigencies
on the occasion of the maturity of time
loans.
The whole problem of outstanding loan
obligations offers somewhat formidable pos
sibilities for speculative conjecture, espec
ially the conviction that nearly universal
Indulgence has been shown during the pe
riod of practical paralysis, from which busi
ness has suffered. The usual outcome, when
the business body begins to feel the cur
rents of life circulate again and when,
In consequence, liquidation must be renewed,
is the subject of solicitude. It has been
suggested that some of the occasional liqui
dation of securities has come from savings
banks which have placed the allotted period
on the withdrawals of deposits, which no
tice of Intended withdrawals will expire
from time to time. The New York savings
banks report, however, that a large pro
portlon of such notices already have beon
revoked and that newdeposlts are 'coming
in to a large amount.
Consideration was given to reports for
warded to Wall street of the condition of
Illinois 'banks and trust companies as of
November 19, in response to the call of the
state supervising official. The degree of re
inforcement of position shown by the re
ports was a matter of satisfaction and was
regarded as confirmation of the Intention
of the New York bankers to aid In the large
fortification of the interior banks, which
was being effected by withdrawals from
New York.
The development of the day which was
least i liked was the renewed rise in the
premium on currency, and signs of disorder
in the foreign exchange market. The de
mand which lifted the currency premium
again seemed to be quite general, coming
from widely different points and not due
to any special need. Discounts rose In the
London market and the continued with
drawals of gold from that market seemed
to oe viewed with some disquietude.
The impression grew that obstacles might
be found to the placing of the United
States Treasury cne-year 3 per cent cer
tificates, from which so much was hoped
in the breaking of the deadlock. The ex
tent to which bids were coming in for the
certificates and the reports of the many
questions raised by bankers concerning ths
terms and the provisions of the issue, fos
tered the impression of lack of smoothness
in placing It. The calling of loans by the
banks, which ran the call loan rate up to
13 per cent, was attributed in some quar
ters to preparations by banks for subscrip
tions to the United States Treasury cer
tificates. The effect was to weaken the
whole market again.
Bonds weer Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $3,722,000. United states 3s declined

MAKE IDLE CAPITAL WORK
Appeals to Citizens to Help Banks
Resume Vsual Functions.
PORTLAND. Nov. 18. (To the Editor.)
Theorize as we may about the usolessness ox
money and Its circulation, who will question
that the threatened paralysis to business
and the attendant suspension of Improve
ments Is traceable to the change of attitude
of banks to the people and of people to the
banks? Not that money has left the coun
try, but the tendency Is to refuse to circu
late lt 'reely.
A few months ago when the banks began
to refuse to loan for Improvements, some
critics said that the banks were blocking
the growth and development of the country.
Today bankers can Justify their course by
pointing to the fact that they must keep
the money in hand to meet tho demands of
depositors. If a general settlement must be
made with those who choose to own the
money rather than Its equivalent In prop
erty, the banker. It would seem. Is com
pelled to clieck Improvements and deny
applications for loans. Suppose, however,
reaaonable loans had been made, the securi
ties kept in the banks, and If the mon-ey
employed in the transactions again flowed
back to the vaults, who would have been
Injured?
The shaking up of the banks has demon
strated thJ fact that the great majority are
conducted honestly, with Intent to aid
enterprising men to do business. In all
classes of business engaged in for profit,
men are found who overreach, and recent
developments may be admitted as proving
that for public safety and to promote pub
lic confidence, there should be some method
devised to Insure depositors against loss
from a reckless or dishonest use of trust
funds.
Were it a mere matter of having safety
vaults to preserve surplus money, forcing
money to be locked up and kept out of circu
lation. Uncle Sam could soon settle the
question. But to keep the money safely
and yet keep lt moving, la not so easy
of adjustment. It is every man's right to
claim his own. to demand that his prop
erty be safely kept, no matter jvhat may
be, the nature or quantity of the prop
erty. On the other hand, it is the duty
of every citizen to use his property with
a view to subserve not only his private but
public interest.
How are we to prosper without any circu
lating medium with which to do business ?
Time will adjust matters, but "time I
money" and the longer business is stopped
the more will w ages be reduced, When
business starts again. It is not only the loss
of the time during suspension, but tf busi
ness Is supended for any groat period, lt
will require months and possibly years o
get wages to tho point they were when sus
pension began. A bank account of a few
hundred dollars means much to Its pos
sessor and Is as sacred as are the pos
sessions of the rich. For that reason. It
seems a shame to pursue, a course that will
not only eat up the few hundred dollars,
but will force us to start again at a much
elower pac than when business was sus
pended. No city In Union Is In better tfhape
to grow during the coming year than Port
land. The entire Pacific Coast haa certainly
& bright future, and no other city here
abouts has boomed itself less than Port
land. None ether has better financial con
dition, or so little cause to suspend Im
provements, i- Angeles has passed
through Presidential elections with her pay
roll in go?d condition without half the re
sources at her command now possessed by
Portland. Tha latter city Is now on the
map. Mare eyes are turned this way than
aver before, and never was the way so
clear for prosperity. Millions of dollars lie
Idle, not evsn drawing Interest money that
by proper use will draw many millions from
distant flelds provided Portland moves on
the coming year as It Is her privilege and
duty to do. -
Where did organizations ever have a
better chance to .prove their usefulness? If
banks are not to be patronized why not em
ploy the use of the various organizations
which bring men together in business rela
tions to form combljies to use the money
now Idle, either by forming Joint stock com
panies or by IncorporatliTB;?
If ever a time existed when organized
efTort was invited to prove the efficiency
0t co-operation, that time Is now, and In
Portland, Oregon. The fact that men go
where something Is doing, and also because
there will be an unusual number of men
scattered throughout the Union next year
looking foi-$a growing metropolis to which,
they may gravitate, makes the field all the
more Inviting. Time is the essence of oppor
tunity. T. J. rORDNY.

ONLY BRIEF BULL!
Wheat Market Is Weak Most
of the Day.
FURTHER LOSS AT CLOSE
Bearish Sentiment Due to Decline
at Liverpool and Listless Tone
of the Stock Market Ex
port Trade Is Slack.
CHICAGO. Nov. 20. The wheat market
opened weak and with the exception of a
temporary rally In the middle of 'the ses
sion, the sentiment -was bearish during the
entire day. A decline at Liverpool was
largely responsible for the Initial weakness
here, while the listless tone of the stock mar
ket contributed to a great extent to the
heavy :.::..- which was manifested later In
the session. A slack demand from exporters
was an additional bearish factor. The selling
was chiefly by Northwestern longs. The mar
ket closed weak. December opened to c
lower at 03 to 93SjC, sold between 92c and
933934c, and closed at 92c. May opened
VdSHc to Vjc lower at 1.02i3$1.02. sold
between $1.014 and $1.02 and closed at
$101.
The market was Inclined to be strong be
causo of wet weather throughout the com
belt. There was considerable selling of May
by commission houses which was based on
the weakness of wheat. On this account tne
December option was relatively stronger than,
the more distant delivery. The close was
firm. December opened a shade to jbc lower
at 64r9 to 54c, advanced to o54c and closed
at Do&aC. May opened unchanged to c
higher at 56 to 60Vc, sold between C5ic and
66U and closed at SC'i'Sta'fcc.
Oats were bearlshly affected by the weak
ness of wheat. A feature of trade' was selling
of December by an elevator concern. Trade
In general was small. December ooened a
shade lower at 46o sold between 46H &nd
46e and closed at 46c. May sold between
40H9tc and 50c and closed at 60c.
Provisions were weak early, rallied later
on covering by shorts, the close belngt firm.
January pork showed a net gain of 25c; lard
was up 7c; ribs were al3o up 7c.
