Farmers Not Eager to Part
With Their Crops.
HOLD VERY FIRM VIEWS
About Sixteen M ill ion Bushels Re
main in (Growers' Hands Sta
tistics on the Crop Move
ment to Date.
Ftjsures that havecen compiled on the
wheat movement to date show that about
JS.fVtO.OOO bushels of the Pacific Northwest
crop have been exported and almost as
nuh still remains unsold in farmers' hands.
In view of the advancing tendency of the
market, farmers are very deliberate In
parting with their crops, and the disposi
tion . of this surplus is therefore a slow
matter. At the moment the shippers, " es
pecially in this port, are not particularly
eager to buy, owing to the congested con
dition of the Portland docks and ware
houses. The following figures show, In a general
way. the position of the Northwestern wheat
supply:

Wheat is coming Into Portland at the rate
of about 100 cars per day. as the amount
being put afloat, however, is greater than
fhis. it is likely there will soon be some
relief from the congestion. Some of the ex
porters find their movements handicapped
by the scarcity of labor on the docks.
Trade was only on fair volume yesterday.
The market was quoted firm at previous
prices.
Wheat Arrivals at Tacoma.
T A COMA, Wash.. Dec. 1ft. (Special.)
Wheat is pourinir in fo rapidly from the
Interior to the immense warehouses on the
water front that there is every prospect
that the grain receipts of December will
break all records in the history . of the
State Grain Inspector's office at this port.
The daily grain receipts are running above
the 00 -oar mark, and until December 1 less
than 7' cars ot" grain were received daily.
The month is tittle more than half gone
ami 1 "47 cars of grain have been received
for inspection. Of this number 1554 cars
contained whfat. The total receipts of No
vember, which was an exceedingly busy
month for the State Grain Inspector,
amounted to 2100 cars.
Overaupply of Chickens.
The poultry market was oversupplled with
oMrkons yesterday and prices had to be
"slashed to keep them moving. Dressed tur
Key are beginning to arrive more freely.
Most of the sales yesterday were around 18
cents.
Ess continue weak in tone, with Inr
creating receipts, and holders are punning
sales.
Titers are no new features In the butter
market, which is firm.
Hrarrity of Christmas Oranges.
It Is likely that Portland will be short
of oranges at Christmas tlme. Dealers or
dered sparingly because of the recent drop,
and as the packing-houses are now closed,
they cannot replenish their supplies. Stocks
are scarce on the street and the market
rules firm. Trade generally was fair yes
terday. A car of celery waa distributed.
Active movement In Hops.
The movement in the hop market Is still
active, though not of the large proportions
of last week's trade. Klaber, Wolf & Netter
were liberal buyers yesterday of export
Quality, but the terms were not learned.

PKAI.KKS ARK NOT ANTAGONIZED.
I,ovdal Says Klaber Does Not Understand
1'nlnn rian.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Dec. 17. (To the
Editor.) L'pon my return to Sacramento
from a trip through the hop-growing dis
tricts of California with a committee - on
organization I was turprlsed to note an ar
ticle in The Sunday Oregonian of the 8th
inst , headed. "Says It Will Fall"; ' Herman
Klaber's Opinion of the Hqpgrowers' Union'
Up to this writing I have declined to be
Interviewed by representatives of the press,
as we had not organized the State of Cali
fornia, and even now it is not my Intention
to outline our plan in advance pf the com
mittee which has arranged to visit Oregon
and Washington. Therefore. I am reluctant
to go Into print upon r. subject that has
taken so much of my personal time and at
tention. However, as the originator of the
present movement to organize the "hopgrow
ers of the -Pacific Coast, under what is to
be known as the "Pacific Coast Hopgrowers'
Union," I feel compelled to make a brief re
ply to Mr. -Klaber's criticism, without wish
ing to Impugn his motives.
As Mr. Klaber has been laboring under a
misapprehension of. our plans, I feel justi
fied in asking the growers and dealers not
to draw hasty conclusions of a matter that
has not yet been outlined in Oregon and
Washington. Mr. Klaber's article in The Ore
gonian was evidently written under a mis
conception of the objects and methods of
the Pacific Coast Hopgrowers Union. If Mr.
Klaber will await full information on the
subject he will realize that our plan is not
so very objectionable, even from the stand
point of a dealer. There is nothing we have
contemplated that can by any possibility
make the condition of the grower worse than
it is. while some substantial good is sure to
result.
Next week a committee from California
will lay the plan before the growers of Ore
gon and Washington for their consideration,
and they have little doubt of the result, for
it Is so plain and fir that It appeals at
once to every grower. The growers of Cali
fornia were ' at first reluctant, hut when
they understood the matter they became
practically unanimous In Us favor. I advise
both dealers and growers to withhold any
opinion until the plan has been laid before
them officially by the committee selected by
the growers of California, who alone have
authority to represent the union.
On behalf of the committee from Califor
nia. I desire to state that we are all grow
ers of hops, and as we feel the Interests
of Oregon, Washington and California are
mutual, we trust that every grower and
dealer-grower will avail himself of the op
portunity of attending at least one of the
meetings.
The California committee feels that Its
mission Is not one of antasonism, but one
of education and organ Ization, as the plan
of forming a co-operative growers' union is
so fair that it cannot but appeal to every
grower Yours truly, W. E. LOVDAL.

STOCK TRADE ML
Holiday Feeling in the New
York Market.
DAY'S NEWS FEATURELESS
Holders 'ot Subjected to Pressure
by . Money-Lenders Little De-
mand for Mercantile Paper.
Bonds Hold Steady.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19. The atmosphere
of the holidays began to gather about the
stock exchange today and the tone of the
dealings became dull and Indifferent. The
operations showed tome of the favorite de
vices of professional manipulation to be In
force and the hole market gave clear evi
dence of its narrow professional limitations.
Activity was congested in a few stocks, and
In these the action was Irregular and not
ruled by any consistent motives. Any sign
of strength in one part of the list was taken
advantage of to self stocks at another.
There was a rather general show of strength
at the outset In- continuation of the move
ment among the bears to cover up their
shorts which has been manifest for a day
or two. Meantime, stocks which have been
made the engines of the bulls in lifting
prices against the shorts began, to show
the effect of the retreat of the bull party.
Especially In Reading, the' movement to
take profits -was conspicuous and that stock
was sold .teadily, at the time the Hill stocks
were most conspicuously strong. '
There was little in the occurrences of
the day with any direct bearing on values
of securities. The rise in American Loco
motive seemed to indicate a feeling of grati
fication by stockholders that the rate of
the dividend distribution was left un
changed. New Tork Air Brake, however.
was equally strong, in spite of yesterday's
decision to postpone the dividend action.
New Tork Central and Pennsylvania did not
share In the early rise in prices, notwith
standing yesterday's declaration of the divi
dend at the full 6 per cent rate for the first
and an Increase in the subsidiary Pennsyl
vania companies' dividend In the cae of the
other. Much weight is given to the sup
posed Intention of these companies to pre
pare the way by these dividend actions for
the offering ot additional new securities at
a later period.
A sharp advance in the London price of
copper was a feature of the day's news..
Holders of stock were not suhjected to any
great pressure by lenders of money, but the
easier tone of the call loan market is at
tributed to the keeping of funds in hand for
the needs of ,the end of the year. The
time money market Is almust wholly nom
inal yet, and there Is no market of conse
quence for commercial paper. There are
some fears of embarrassment unless suffi
cient demand for merchants' paper springs
up to take care of some of the large re
quirements . at the end of the year. Rates
for call loans became somewhat firmer as
the, day progressed and there was an active
demand again for remittances to London.
Another engagement of gold was made in
London for New York, nevertheless. The
weak Bank of England return was dis
liked in London, and any reduction in the
official discount rate before the turn of
the year was considered less likely. Not
much of the earlier gains were left at the
end of the day.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, $2,136.
000. United States bonds were unchged
on call.

TRIES TO SHOOT HIMSELF
WALKER ABOUT TO FLEE WHEN
MEXICANS CAUGHT HIM.
Connecticut Bank-Wrecker Says He
Only Took $345,000 Will
Resist Extradition.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Dec. 19. A special
dispatch to the Tribune from Ensenada,
Cal., concerning the arrest of W. F. Wal
ker, the defaulting cashier of the Sav
ings Bank of New Britain, Conn., lsa;-3
that Walker went under the alias of Mor
rison while in Lower California. He was
arrested on the morning of December 14
at a mining camp called The Potrero,
about 100 miles southeast of Ensenada, by
the Mexican police on an order issued
to Governor Vega through the Secretary
of State at Washington and a similar
Secretary of the Mexican government at
Mexico City. Mr. Hoffmann, the Pin-
kerton detective in charge of the hunt,
accompanied the police into the moun
tains and was present at the time of the
arrest. - '
Walker confessed that he is the man
wanted in New-Britain and that he was
cashier sf the bank there, but says he
took only $20,000 in cash and about J325.OO0
in securities. An officer with necessary
papers is now on the way from the East
and he is prepared to identify the pris
oner personally. When Walker was ar
rested only $1.10 was found in his pockets.
When the police arrived at the camp.
Walker had his things packed and was
apparently prepared to go further into
the mountains or to some other section
of the wild country. ' He was evidently
aware that the officers were on his trail.
Atter being handcuffed, Walker seized
a revolver belonging to one of the camp
laborers and tried , to kill himself, but
was prevented by the police under com
mand of Jose Jiminez, the Chief of Police
at Ensenada.
The prisoner was held in close confine
ment in a single cell, and accorded the
best care. Meals are served from a res
taurant and he is not subjected to any of
the indignities that usually attend the
I prisoners In a Mexican Jail. This treat
ment will be accorded at least until tls
positive identiflcaton.
NEW BRITAIN, Conn.. Dec. 19. The
officials of the Savings Bank of New
Britain learned today that W. F. Wal
ker, the, defaulting treasurer of that in
stitution, will resist extradition.
GRAIN NOW ALL THRESHED
Gilliam Wheat 'Sacked After Longest
. Run on Record.
CONDON, Or.. Dec. 19. (Special.) The
threshing of the enormous wheat crop
In Gilliam County is practically concluded.
A few farmers are still threshing with
private horsepower machines, and some
will have to feed their stock from the
stacks, but the greater' part of the crop
Is sacked. J. C. Wright, who brought a
machine from Pendleton, has taken, his
big separator to Condon for the Winter.
It was thought for some time during
the first part of ,the season that the
threshing could not be finished. This
season's run has been the longest on
record, more than 100,000 sacks being
turned out by one machine alone. The
farmers are taking advantage of the good
weather and roads and are getting their
wheat Into the warehouses as fast as
possible.
MAXY SALES AT CORVAJLLIS
Sheep Shipment to California Val
ued at $15,000.
CORVAL.L1S, - Or.. Dec. 15. (Special.)
In view of the approaching end of the
holidays several real estate sales have
been made at prices at the same level
that has prevailed throughout the Fall.
There have also been heavy livestock
shipments from this point, by one, of
which about $15,000 worth of sheep went
to California. The sales in local stores
have been heavier than during the cor
responding period last year.
Throughout the holidays, far more cash
than clearing-house certificates has
been in circulation. The - three local
banks have large reserve funds, and are
in very sound condition.
Keep Coal tor Railroad Use.
NKW YORK, Dec. 19. The Union
Pacific directors have, in common with
directors of other roads owning and
operating coal mines, been discussing the
question of the segregation of the coal
and transportation departments in ac
cordance with the provisions of the rate
law of last year. The provisions of this
law will prohibit them on and after May
1 from transporting any article or com
modity, other than timber, manufactured
or produced by them. The interpretation
given the laws by the attorneys for
the Union Pacific is that the company
may transport its own coal for its own
use in transportation or otherwise, but
shall not sell such coal (from Its own
mines) before or after it 'hae been;
transported. In accordance with this in
terpretation of the law. it is planned
by the Union Pacific to keep its coal
mines for its own exclusive use.
The Union Pacific Coal Company Is
owned almost exclusively by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company.

WU SAILS FOR HIS POST
Chinese Minister Brings Cordial
Message to President.
PEKIN, Dec 19. Wu Ting Fangr,
who has been reappointed to the post
of Minister to the United States, left
today for Washington. He will sail
from Shanghai in January, taking: with
him a number of young Chinese stu
dents. In view of the public status between
China and the United States, the
throne, it is understood; has entrusted
Wu Ting Fang with a message of un
usual warmth to President Roosevelt.
The indemnity proposal and the
speech delivered by Secretary Taft at
Shanghai have served to draw Chinese
attention to the United State, and as
a result of the efforts of the native
press, the position of the United States
in the Far East is better understood in
China than ever befare. It is believed
in some quarters that China will show
her appreciation by giving preference
to American commerce.-
The departure of the battleship fleet
for the Pacific has aroused much ca
riosity among the enlightened Chinese
who are reading foreign newspapers
with great care 'in an effort to discover
a clue to the meaning of the trip.
The Government is 'anxious for in
formation regarding the manner in
which the Unfted States will act in the
matter of reduction of. the -Boxer in
demnity. It hopes for something tan
gible, as it is unable to raise the
money which it sorely needs for admin
istrative purposes, especially in - the
field of mines and railroads. Wu Ting
Fang Is fully empowered to act in the
matter of the Indemnity payments, and
he hopes to reach Washington before
Congress takes any action.

plaint of Bank. '

land pas Company, was placed in thf?

off the men in the gang of which Stone
was foreman, lie will be arraigned in
the Municipal Court today.
