TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1908. mm m woe SUPPLIES NOT EXCESSIVE Much Country Creamery Butter Comes to Portland Northern De mand Keeps Down-Ac-- cumulation or Eggs. The movement In the produce trade since th opening of the year has -been highly atisfactory to the flrma on Front street, and the returns show no falling off in th -volume of business when comparison is made with the same period last year. An ticipating some decrease -4n consumption, the Jobbers have been placing their orders rather cautiously, with the result that stocks In some lines are low, and prices are, therefore, very well maintained. There has been a shortage of desirable alzes of oranges, but the street Is now better . m thrcA far vera received from the South yesterday. Among the offerings are new Kedianas oranges, wmcn vm mand the top quotations on this fruit. All descriptions of oranges are firm in sympathy with the strength of the California market. The banana famine was partly relieved by the arrival of three carloads, but unfortu nately most of them were overripe. The available supply of vegetables was In creased by the arrival of a mixed car of celery, lettuce, peas, beans and sprouts, for all of which there was a good demand. COUNTRY BUTTER MORE PIaENTTFTTL Entire) Output of Some Creameries Sent to Portland. Prices of city creamery butter In fhe local market continue to show a spread of 2H cents. The supply Is reported inade quate In some quarters, while in others there la an accumulation. On Front street stocks are large and increasing, due in part to outside creameries chipping all their make here, instead of sending a portion of It to the Sound as heretofore. Eggs are arriving freely and are quoted weak, but there is enough inquiry from the North to keep down the surplus. The poultry market In general Is firm, the principal demand being? for chickens and ducks. Supplies were light yesterday. Member of Board of Tea Experts. George W. Caswell, of San Francisco, has been reappointed a member of the United States Board of Tea Experts. The board, which meets annually in New York City, will convene this year on January 27. The Board of Tea Experts is composed of seven members selected from the tea trade of the United States, two from New York, two from Chicago, one from Boston, one from Philadelphia and one from San. Fran cisco. The object of the board Is to fix standards to regulate the Importation of teas into this country, thereby keeping out all Impure and Inferior teas. STEADY TRADING IN HOP MARKET. Movement Is Slow In New York State at Present. j Soma business Is passing in the hop mar ket all the time, but no particular pressure Is shown, either to buy or sell. One of the latest transactions reported was the pur chase by Urn eat Wells of the Barnard Van hover lot of 120 bales at Forest GroVe. Conditions In New York are reported by 'papers of that state as follows: The market still remains in the quiet con dition reported for the past few weeks. There is little or no business doing, but the general market has not been perceptibly weakened by this apparent neglect. There are still some of the larger crops raised In this vicinity yet unmarketed and the grow ers show no anxiety to force their goods onto the market . at prevailing prices. Waterville Times. The local hop market, in common with the markets of the state generally. Is de cidedly slow. Not only is the price low, but there appears to be little demand. Cherry Valley Gazette. With the exceptions of a few small lots at 10 cents, there Is little trading on the local hop market. For some unexplained rea son It is evident that growers In this sec tion have not received this Fall the prices paid at Waterville, Cooperstown and other upstate points. Morrlsvllle Leader. Wheat Market Very Firm. X considerable amount of wheat buying was reported yesterday. The market was quoted very firm. Oats and barley were steady at the previous prices with but llttla doing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Many wide ad vances were recorded in the prices of stocks today and the volume of business sensibly expanded. The movement was uneven and spotty, with large activity congested at a few points, where also the principal rise has occurred, except for wide advances in a few inactive stocks which have not sold before in the interval of the general Im provement in the market. Dealings were highly professional and successful maneuv ers against an outstanding short Interest formed an important feature of the day. Profit-taking at the end greatly reduced the day's gains. The broad underlying basis of the opera tions for the rise was the pronounced re laxation in the money markot. Conspicu ous strength In a few stocks was a prin cipal element In the general advance. Of these Northern Pacific was most prominent. The animated speculation in that stock was based on a constant stream of rumors re garding the alleged intention to declare an extra dividend on that stock. No official sanction could be obtained for these rumors. The Harriman stocks were strong on as sumptions of the benefits to accrue to them from the supposed project affecting the Hill properties. Another rise in the price of copper in London was a helpful factor In cheering sentiment. A late strengthening in the call loan rate added to the disposition to take profits on the rise, and the results was an easy tone at the closing. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $3,480,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Adams- Express ..Pen;.

CAUSE CHICAGO SELLING Market Lacks Bull Support, the Only Demand Coming From Shorts. Corn Higher, Oats Lower. Advance in Provisions. CHICAGO. June 6. Sentiment in the wheat pit was inclined to be bearish all day, although the market displayed moder ate firmness near the end of the first hour on covering by shorts.

The market lacked sup port of the bull leaders, the demand com ing from shorts. May opened c to c lower at $1.07 to 1.07, sold at $1.08 and then declined to $L07.

Lonergan,' one of the Supervisors under the Schmltz administration, who con fessed to the taking of bribes in the trol ley franchise and the gas and telephone franchises, died this morning at his home in this city of -heart disease. He had been suffering from the affliction for several months, during which time he had been under the care of a physician. 1 Lonergan arose at 6:30 o'clock this morning, feeling a slight depression and choking. He managed to dress and make his way to the street, but had to return to the house immediately. His wife be came alarmed and. sent for two physi cians and a priest, the former, however", not arriving until after Lonergan was dead. Until Lonergan was elected Supervisor on the Union Labor ticket he drove a pie wagon for a local baker. After his ex perience in politics, during which, accord ing to his confession made to Detective Burns, he accepted many bribes, he re turned to driving the pie wagon, having resigned from his office after confessing. Most of the many thousands of dollars obtained by Lonergan while he was Su pervisor was lost, a part being burned In the Are .of 1906, as he had it in green backs, stored in the mattress of his bed. He was 49 years old and a native of Oregon Water Power Ry. Co.

WOMEN AS CHURCHGOERS But Two Cities in Oregon Where Men Are Ahead ot Their Wives. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) That the women-of Oregon are more religious than the men of the state and that they contribute more to religious work than their husbands and fathers is evidenced by statistics compiled by Rev. Dr. S. M. Martin, of Seattle, who held evangelistic services in the First Christian -Church in this city. He has held evangelistic meetings in 11 Oregon cities and in each place he has held a meeting for men only on one Sunday afternoon and a meeting for women only on the succeeding Sunday. In every city but Grants Pass more wom en went to their meeting than did the men to theirs. And in the aggregate re ceipts of tho two meetings the women's contributions exceed those of tho men in all cities but Corvallis and Silverton. This record of the Oregon men in ex celling the women in total contributions In even two cities out of the 11 is remark able. Dr. Martin thinks, for in 14 years' evangelistic work throughout the Eastern states the women have exceeded the men In total contributions in all but five meet ings. The men are a trifle the better pro rata givers, however, and this Is true of the Oregon meetings by a small mar gin. In the 11 Oregon cities where Dr. Mar tin has held msetings, the total attend ance at all the men's meetings is 3121 and at the women's meetings 4495. The amount received at all of the men's meet ings totals $265.17, while the women in the 11 meetings have contributed a total of 351.96. ST. JOHN ADOPTS CHARTER Vole at Special Election Is 127 For, and 63 Against. At the election yesterday in St. John Hie new city charter was adopted by the people by a vote of 127 for and S3 against. The vote by wards was as follows: First "Ward For the charter, 60; against, 45: Second for, 67: against, 18. Total vote cast was 152, out of a total of over 500. There did not appear to be much interest, as lt was taken for granted that the charter would carry. This is the third charter .the city of St. John has adopted. It was framed by City Attorney S. H. Greene, George J. Perkins, D. C. Rogers, B. Norton and W. H. King, who represented the City Council and the Commercial Club and who were appointed over a year ago for the work. The prin cipal work done was to make clear cer tain portions of the present charter and to provide a better way of handling the finances of the city by requiring all funds to pass through the hands of the City Reporter. Since the first charter was adopted St. John has grown to a ctty of 4000 people. It is believed that under this charter, which -while not perfect, the place will move forward even more rapid ly than ever. Kratz Creditors Get 14.48 Per Cent R. L.
