Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 190S. 13 HOPS IN DEMAND Steady Movement on Eastern and London Account, PRICES SHOW NO CHANGE Larse Part of the Recent Buying Ha$ Been Done by Clem Horst. Government Figures on the Beer Output. A fair demand for hops continues, both on Eastern and export account. The surplus Is bang steadily reduced, but buying will have to be oil a much larger wale to pre vent a. Rood supply being carried over Into the Slimmer. The choicer grades, how ever, are becoming decidedly scarce, and as the demand for them has not c'eased at any time since the season opened, the holders of such Qualities show no anxiety to part with them and some wouid not sell except at a premium of several bents over current rates. The heaviest buying recently has been done' by the E. Clemens Horst Company, whose purchases In the last few days have amounted to some 800 bales at prices rang ing from 5 to 6H cents. Among the Horst purchases were the Otto lot of lOO bales at Iaurel. and the owner's share of the.Sauls gaber lot at Hillsboro, amounting to lliS tales. Some of the Horst Company's buys are understood to have been for expojrt." Klabcr. Wolf & Netter are also buying for the London market. Hart & Hubbard have bought about 700 bales recently, and Kola Neis has also been an operator in the market. Government statistics Just received show that the beer output of the United States In November last amounted to 4,2ii4.9r9 barrels, as compared with 4,174.221 barrels In November. 1001. It was generally ex pected that there would be a decrease ow ing to the financial conditions that pre vailed. ' DRIED IKtlTsHvEAK IN THE EAST. Market Unsettled, Both on California and Oregon Prunes. Commenting on the weakness of dried fruits generally In the East, the latest issue of the New York Journal of Commerce says: "The easy feeling was raort pronounced in connection with California prunes than in other Coast products, but while in the effort to secure business holders seemed willing to. make -some concessions from quoted prices there was no general decline. Offerings of shipmentl from the Coast were made in some quarters on a 4c t. o. b. bag basis for Santa Clara fruit, but the general f. o. b- basis remained ' 4 He. Oregon prunes were dull and unsettled with scarce ly any demand. Good fruit feels the com petition of the Inferior stock with which the market is loaded and while prices are not quotably lower it is possible that some shading of quotations would be done to se cure orders." PLENTY OF SOUTHERN VEGETABLES. Street Well Supplied With Two-Days' Arrivals. The vegetable and fruit markets were well supplied with yesterday's and Sunday's arrivals and a good general business was : done. Two cars of California and one car of Japanese oranges -were among the re ceipts. Nearly three cars of celery were distributed along the street. Two cars of bananas are promised for Thursday. Onions are firm at 2 cents for the best stock. The California demand is heavy, but buyers are not able to get hold of many cars, as the growers have very strong views on the situation. The potato market is also firmer with better advices from San Fran Cisco. There is a stronger jobbing demand on Front street- and slightly higher prices are quoted. . s - POULTRY DFLL AT PREVIOUS PRICES. Kggs of Al! Descriptions Are Weak Butter Is Unchanged. Receipts of poultry were limited yester day, but the few arrivals, together with the stocks carried over from Saturday, proved more than enough to satisfy the demand 'and the tone of the market continued to be weak. The former prices, were- Btill qirbted. The sale of eggs dragged and In view of the plentiful supply of the ranch variety the feeling was ratfy. The general quota tion on the street was SO rents for Oregon eggs and 20 to 22 cents for Eastern. City creameries reported a fairly good movement In -butter, and as the best grades are comparatively scarce, the previous prices were easily maintained. Country creamery butter remains weak, owing to the Urge supply offered on Front street. AH Rtre Markets Are Firm. The firmness of the Eastern and Southern rice markets continues, according to the latest circular of Dan Talmago's Sons Com pany, which says: "The new year opens with a fair line of orders; prices are firm, as recent shipments from primary points show increased cost. Advices from the South note improved de mand on the Atlantic Coast. At New Or leans the market Is strong, with fair in quiry. In the Interior southwest Louisiana and Texas an active demand is reported with hardeulng tendency on all desirable grades. Cables and correspondence from abroad note quiet tone." Bank Clearings.

Made New York Banks. by INVESTORS TAKE PROFITS Kailnay Traffic Officials Report Continued Shrinkage in the Freight Movement Strong Rally at the Close. NEW YORK, Jan. 13- It is customary to await the actual occurrence of an expected fevent before taking action in the stock market to accord with the event. That fact was the main one Illustrated by the action of stocks today in response to Saturday's disclosures of restoration of a surplus over the legal reserve required of the clearing house banks. The most Important of the buying of stocks induced by this development proved to have been already accomplished when operations were resumed at the Stock Ex change today. There was considerable, in cursion of outside orders, but stocks were liberally supplied to meet this new demand, although prices were bid up considerably higher than Saturday's level to accommo date It. Most of the new outside buying orders were executed at the higher level of prices of the first hour of the day. That proved also the most active of the day, and there was a notable lapse in the animation of the market after that. There was an effective rally again after the realizing sales were suspended. The profit-taking was conducted with caution and skill, the selling not being pushed aggressively on the declines, but on any advance the volume of offerings was quick to. swell again. Professional traders held the market when they found these .obstacles. Attention was attracted by the sell in ff of another kind, small In itself, but of significant effect on sentiment. This was realization sales on odd lots of stocks bought outright in the demoralized period by small Investors, on which large profits have since accrued. f While the heavy accession of "cash to the bank reserves revealed by the bank state ment was accepted as assurance against further damage from money shortage for leading purposes, there was added consid eration today to its significance as an index 10 shrinkage in the active employment of money in business. The heavy decreases n me country s bank clearings gave evi dence in the same direction. Another fea ture of this tendency is the large offerings of National bank notes for current redemp tion at trie United States Treasury, which marks the beginning of the automatic ten dency to contraction of the bank circula tion. Railroad traTflc officials corroborate the evidence of the bank clearings by their testimony to the continued shrinkage in the freight movement. This testimony, in ad dition to the revelations of actual earn ings of some railroad systems,, bad to do with the renewed weakness of bond issues of several companies which have been the subject of unfavorable rumors for some time past. The recession in traffic "returns Is so severe as to bring into apparent doubt in some cases the ability to earn fixed charges. The tone thus caused In the bond market made a bad impression, as a sub stantial improvement In the investment de mand for fixed interest-bearing securities id looked for on the conclusive demonstra tion of a fundamental betterment in the outlook. The selling to take profits was desisted from in the last hour, of the dav. and TTnlted States Steel led a stronsr rally in stocks Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,42i8.O00.

LUMBER CUT OF UNION ITS AXXUAIj VALUE IS ABOtT $700,000,000. Total Production In the United States In 1906 Amounted to 37,550,36,000 Feet. The lumber cut of the United States in 1906, according to the Forest Service of the Depart ment of Agriculture, is valued at not less than $700,000,000. Particulars of the circular follow, which rare based upon the reports of 22,398 lumber manufacturers: "The reported lumber production of the United States In 1906 was 37,550,736,000 feet, with. a mill value of 1621,151.388, the largest quantity ever reported for a single year, and by far the greatest value. In addition, there were produced 11,858,200,000 ahingles, valued at $24,154,555, and 3,812,807,000 lath, valued at $11,490,570; The total value of the lum ber, lath and shingle production reported in 1906 was thus $656,796,513. Making a fair allov.-anme for incomplete reports, it us safe to say that at present the annual lumber cut of the United States approximates 40,000,000. 000 feet, and that the total mill value of the lumber, lath and shingles annually produced ie not less 'than $700,000,000."

BEARS IN WHEAT PIT Two-Cent Slump During Raid on Prices. STEADY AT CLOSE OF DAY Storm Cripples Wire Service . and Buyers Are Held Bark by Ab sence of Sews Oats Mar ket Is Featureless. CHICAGO. Jan. 13. The wheat market opened lirra - on a. fairly active demand, which was baaed on the strength of the Liverpool market. Before the end of the first half hour, however, prices had declined nearly lc on profit-taking. Then a bear raid. led by a leading commission house, caused a further break about the middle of the day. There ww considerable chang ing from May to July delivery, which re sulted in a narrowing of the so read be tween the two options. At the close the market was very poorly supported, would be buyers being held back by the absence of news from the crippled wire service. Buying by shorts during the lat hour caused a rally of nearly lc from the low point. The close was steady. May opened unchanged to H He higher at $l.or 1.05, advanced to $ 1.05 l.Otf, and then declined to fl.03 3t. The close was $1.04 1 04. Liberal receipts and lower cables caused moderate weakness, in the corn - market early in the day. Sentiment, however, be came a trifle bullish during the last half of the session, owing to a possible in crease in the movement because of the severe storm. The close was steady. May opened KSe lower, at 5u5c, sold up to OOHc and the,n declined to 59ac. The close was at GOc. Trade In oats was again dull and fea tureless. The market was steady all day, price fluctuations being confined within a half cent ranee. Sentiment was a little bearish as a result of the slums in wheat. May opened a ehade lower at 53c, sotd off to r3."3ic and closed at 53 c. Immense receipts of live -htnrs had -a depressing effect on the provisions mar ket, sentiment being bearish all .day.

The finding of a human skeleton in a tunnel under one of the oldest buildings In Rawlins has cleared the mystery of the fate of "Slap jack" Dave Parker, who escaped from Sheriff Lemmons, of Carbon County, at this place, in 186S. The legs are in Iron shackles, by which William Daley, who led a posse that searched for Parker in 1SCS, identified the bones as those of the noted outlaw of early territorial days. Be side the skeleton ' lay a double-barreled squirrel rifle, which has been identified as the property of Parker. Parker was under arrest on a charge of murdering two men on the Platte River. He was confined in the building beneath which his skeleton was found today and must have crawled Into the tunnel in an effort to escape. .Prosecutor's Good Record. , . COLFAX, "Wash.. Jan.. 13.
