MARKET ON FIRM BASIS Export Flour Trade Is Slow, nut May Revive Soon -Oregon Prunes Rejected in the East General Declines In Provisions. An Inereaainj amount of business i re ported In the wheat market, bat the activity usual at this time of year la lacking, owing to the firm holding of growers. The mar ket was quoted firm yesterday with dealings In club wheat reported on the basis of 85c track here: Trading In the coarse grains wss light. The export flour market continues In an unsatisfactory condition. Some Inquiries are coming forward from the Orient, but no business of Importance has been worked lately. Financial conditions in China and Japan are Riven as the reason for the In activity. The latest mall advices from the other side indicate that stocks are much deploted. and now that there are signs of Improvement In the silver market, it Is hoped there will be a revival of buying by the Asiatics. Australian- flour will not be In .competition with the; American product this season and what buying the Orientals do will have to be on this Coast. It Is also very probable they will have to pay prices much better than those they turned down earlier In the season. ORKCrON PRUNES IX EASTERN MARKET Soma Rejections Owing to Condition and Count. A New York letter received by a local Jobber yesterday said of Oregon prunes In that market: "There have been many cars of Oregon prunes rejected here, the trouble being their condition on arrival. Some of them came In In moldy condition, which we consider was caused by early shipment, the prune not being Surtlciently cured. A few were rejected owing to count. Taking Into .con sideration the financial situation, we can see nothing In sight that will cause the market to advance." Of the situation as regards California prunes, the latest Issue of the New York; .Journal of Commerce says: "An unsettling factor In the spot situa tion is the pressure In some quarters to clean up balances of lOOtt crop prunes. The goods are more or less out of condition. Some of them were euphonistically described by a broker as having "feathers' on them. Consequently the prices made by the sell ers have to ba very low. and such quotations have a tendency to affect the good fruit. Nevertheless, the market for the -latter has a Arm undertone, as the supply Is moderate and there Is every Indication of a good de mand during the Spring months. "Advices from the Coast retted a firmer feeling there, in the closing days of December quite a number, of cars of Santa Clara were sold for January shipment at -considerable con cession from the then nominal f. -. b. bag basis of 4UHc, some as low as 3c basis It is Understood that this business ' cleaned up a number of weak holdings, leav ing the balance- of the Coast stock In strong hands. A telegram received from one of these yesterday quoted 1!4C 1. 6. b. bag basis on :Wia to 70s inclusive, in assortments, and It Is now held to be .extremely doubtful If anything better could "be done."

TRADING NOT SO .BRISK Conservative Attitude Is Shown Toward Previous Day's Advance. Northern Pacific Dividend Rumors Xot Confirmed. ' NEW YORK, Jan. 7- There was a con traction of business In stocks at the Stock Exchange today and the market gave other Indications of a conservative attitude toward the advance which, came Into play yesterday. Active profit-taking -was pur sued where price advances had proceeded far enough to make this attractive. In a group of high-priced stocks, in whlen purely speculative accounts are at all times email, on account of the large sums re quired to operate them, . there were some striking advances. Stocks of this class suf fered most severely In the ruthless liquida tion of the last few months. Usually they are supported by buying orders In sufficient volume to protect their security as collat eral. 'When the panic ruled, however, all necessary safeguards were swept away and prices dropped away many points at a time on marketing of small supplies. Now that the strain of such selling is past. It Is found possible to mark, the prices upward by suc cessive bids with great facility. There is much, reconstructive- work of this "kind to be done in the market and the clearing of the financial skies is being availed of to perfect it. The buoyant appearance given to the market by striking1 advances is of great service in sustaining speculative con fidence in the pushing of operations for the rise In stocks of which the supply is much more liberal and which are at all times much more active. In these the effect of "the freer market supply was obvious today In noldlng- back the prices while the inactive specialties were rising buoyantly. The evidence of selling; to take profits when any sustaining influence in the market offered favorable opportunity created some suspicion of the rise in prices which has occurred . and of the ' reports which have been put In circulation to ac count for it. Professions were stilt made today of en tire confidence that the extra dividend on Northern Pacific had been determined upon, although it was admitted that a meeting In tended to act on the matter had been post poned. No official information could be se cured. and the subject was thus kept within the realm of speculative chances. The stock was quite steadily sold all day. with ulti mate decisive effect on the tone of the whole market. Evidence of the rapid improvement of the stock situation continued to manifest them selves, but they Tere not so stimulating to the supec-ulatlon as they were yesterday. Reports of difficulties In the diamond trade, although adjusted by a trusteeship, gave rise to a discussion which pointed to possi ble mercantile embarrassments In other di rections. The increasing; demand for- commercial paper furnished one of the possible safe guards against such difficulties, and its de velopment, therefore, is watched with satis faction. The present reflux of Interior "bank funde to New York bank: depositories, which has set In In a plentiful stream, is evidence that the loaning capacity' of banks making the deposits la not Impaired and the available credits of the New York central reserve banks are greatly expanded by It. This is by reason of the provision of the banking law, which permits National banks outside the reserve centers to count as reserve a portion of their cash kept on deposit in the reserve and central reserve centers. The surrender of this privilege In the panicky calling home of bank deposits from the re serve cities was the most demoralizing fac tor In the crisis, and the repair now going on is fast removing' the most serious cause of restriction of credit facilities.. The speculative realizing; proved the dom inant factor in th,e day's market and the stocks that were most active showed a ma jority of declines at the end of the. day. Rumors of an intended application for a re ceiver for one of the smaller Western grain carrying railroads was a factor in the late reaction In the market. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, $3.32.000. XTnited -States 4s coupons advanced 1 per cent on call. - CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bid. , , Sales, High. Low.

Murderer to Escape. Inquest into the death of L. C. Ruhl, who died at the Good Samaritan Hospi tal on Monday from the effects of a heating received on the night . of De cember 30, was held yesterday by Cor oner FInley, and it waa : found that Ruhl had come to his death from wounds inflicted by a person believed to be Claude Edmonds, a negro lodger in the house conducted by Ruhl at 122 North Seventh street. To preclude any possibility of doubt that Ruhl had died from these wound's, a post-mortem ex amination was held and it was defi nitely established that death resulted from blows received on the head. Although several witnesses were ex amined, the only one who gave any direct- evidenbe bearine; on the identity of the man who killed Ruhl or the cause of the killing was Thomas J. Green, a negro who occupied the room next to Ruhl. Green made clear that the cause of the killing-, instead of being; for robbery, as was at first thought, was trouble with Edmonds about a woman, known only .as Adine. Edmonds, if found, will have to face a charge of murder. After the assault he was not seen again at the lodging house. Xt was rumored that he liad been seen in South Portland four days after the affair happened, but' this ap parently had no foundation, as the po lice since Ruhl's death have failed to get any trace of Edmonds. Some of the lodgers In. the house believe that Edmonds left the city at once. According to. the witnesses In tne case,, the police were notified on the night of the assault, and Detectives Kay and Kelnlen assigned to the case. So far as has been made public by the police; no effort was made by them to apprehend Edmonds on the night of the complaint. Ruhl remained in his house until Thursday, when he was taken to the hospital, having been un conscious most of the time. The police have no explanation . to offer for the fact that no arrest was made on the night of December SO, and the fact that Ruhrs condition was not watched. When the announcement of his death was made, .search was instituted for Edmonds, but there seems little pros pect of his being apprehended. Curfew for Oregon City. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 7.

Market Weakened by Argentine Ad vices of an Abundant Yield. Advance In Corn. CTTTCAGO. Jan. 7. ;Th wheat market opened quite firm, owing, to a one penny advance at Liverpool, but a sharp decline later at Liverpool caused a slump In the local market before the end of the erst hour. The market continued weak the remainder of the' day. The fact that all of the Euro- pean markets for wheat were weak was mainly responsible for. the liberal sales by prominent holders, which depressed prices here. The market was further weakened by Argentine advices which reiterated ' former claims of an abundant yield. The close was weak. May. opened a shade to c higher at $1,071 1.07. sold off to 81.06 and closed at Sl.OtJU 0 1.08 The corn market was strong almoet all day. There was a slight reaction during the first half hour, owing to selling based on liberal receipts, but the market soon be came firm again and continued strong up to the olose. Firm cables, small primary re ceipts, strength of the cash grain and a re port that the Argentine crop is threatened by locusts were principal bullish Influences. May corn opened unchanged to & &o higher af8161c to 61 c. sold to 61 hio and then advanced to 61c. The close was at 61ttS61o. (Trading In oats was very quiet and the market was firm in sympathy with corn. A large Increase In local stock caused soma selling by cash hou&es. May oats opened a snaae to & e Higher at 54 54 Tic. aoia orr to 64 c ana closed at 64 c Provisions . were inclined to be weak be cause of continued heavy receipts of live hogs.
