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."

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

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."

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. West

of .sales. At the close. May pork was off

Skeleton of Outlaw Found.
RAWLINS, Wyo.. Jan. 13. 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.
