Newspaper Page TextTHE MOUSING QREGONIAN, F.RIDAY, JANUARY IT, I90S. 17 PIPERS NOT POSTED Tacoma Men in the Dark as to Actual Wheat Prices.. ' WHAT IS NOW BEING PAID Grain Quotations In the Portland Miid Puget Sound Markets Are , Uniform Buyers Do Not Discriminate. It is the usual practice of Tacoma. wheat men and Tacoma newspapers to quote high er price than are offered by the Portland trade, probably believing; by this action that they pan demonstrate the superiority ot Tacoma over Portland as a wheat .market. For tome time past, however, the price current In this city and thosa quoted In the Tacoma papers have been in Portland's favor by several cents. This seems to hava rasped the sensibilities .of the grain men and newspapers in the Sound, city, for the Tacoma News, of "Wednesday, under the heading, "Portland Grain Quoted Troo-High," published the followlrfg: Wheat quotations in Portland! Or. for soma time past have been so much higher than the "market in. Tacoma as to attract attention of wheat men, and to cause sur prise and incredulity. The Portland mar ket according to figures given has been fully 1 cent higher than Tacoma, and today ttj-e figures given were 2 cents above those quoted in Tacoma. Bluestem was placed at 68 cents, whereas in Tacoma the market price was Stt cents, and dealers pro tested that even those figures were too high. Demand from Europe is light, and the Orient demand is nil. "One big dealesjflnally said: r f ' "Offer Portland 50,000 bushels at 3 cents, and the grain be forthcoming If accepted." The offer was immediately wired, bring ing a prompt response: "Bluestem at 88 is an error. No such quo tations In.Portland. Market today aa well as yesterday Is S3." Thus the puzzle Is solved. "Why Portland should pay ' figures so "much, higher than those prevailing in Tacoma has been a source of much annoyance to Tacoma deal ers. The best market prices are always paid In Tacoma. and it is likely that hereafter the Portland market-maker will adhere more rigidly to actual values. T. B. Wilcox, president of the Portland Flouring Milts Company, of Portland, and the Puget Sound Warehouse Company, of Tacoma. was asked yesterday for a state ment In regard to the market quotations of the two cities, and said: . "I do not know where the papers of port land and Tacoma get their wheat quota tions, but I do. know that we have been paying SV. 8H and 80 cents for bluestem wheat at both places. We make no distinc tion between the two cities in our prices. Today the market is a trifle easier, but not malprially lower." ' j Thin settles the matter and now the niurket:makcrs on the Tacoma papers can get their prices in line with actual values, unless they persist in believing that the heat market prices are always paid in Ta coma. " -i POSITION OF THE BUTTER MARKET Two City C'rrameHew Jo iWk to Top Fig ure Lrfm-er Oradea plentiful. Two of the city creameries, the Townsend and Washington, advanced, their quotation on best grade of butter to 37 cents yes terday, and the Weaiherly creamery will be "up to this price today. The Oregon and Brandes creameries bold to .the former price of 3r cents and make no announce lilt-lit ui a II iiimjiiucu wood. Damascus and Sunset creameries have steadily quoted 37 -A cents for several weeks. This .Is the market from a city creamery standpoint. The upward tendency of the market thus shown is due to the fact that the supply of strictly flrst-clasa butter is limited, though other kinds of butter are too plentiful. At this time of year cream that will grade as No 1 is not easy to get, as every creamery man knows. r Front street is .heavily stocked with country creamery and storage butter, and sonic of the city creameries are carrying more seconds than they like. The result Is that white the beat grades of butter are be coming firmer, the lower grades are1 grow ing weaker. The members of the city creamery trade declare that the present movement In prices has no relation whatever to meetings of buttcrmakers recently held here. OKDERg IN FOR SPOT HOPS. No Important Transactions Reported Yes terduy. No transactions of importance were re ported in the hop market yesterday, but orders were said to be plentiful. R. J. Smith, is still collecting consign ments for the Eastern market and since January 11 has shipped 800 bales, including S,"0 bales secured at Junction City. - The two contract suits brought by the Krebs Hop Company against E. J, Smith in the Circuit Court in this city have been settled out of court and will be dismissed. The condition of the y?w York State market, is reported by the Waterville Times of January 10 as follows: There lias been quite a brisk trade for the past week on this market, in the neigh borhood of 300 bales having been sold. Some lots' were picked up around Augusta. Orlskany Fulls and Forge Hollow, the prices varying from 8 or tf cents for the poorer grades and 11 and 12 cents for the better grader:. c. H. Curtis, one of he largest growers in this town, sold his crop of 101 bales recently, the price not being stated. . Eftf? lower and TouHry Dull. Largo receipts of eggs and a railing off In the demand caused some dealers to cut the. price yesterday to 274 cents in an effort to work off their accumulation. The poultry market was slow with the preceding day's prices again current. About theonly demand apparent was for broilers and ducks. Turkeys drag heavily. Consid erable numbers of wild geese are coming , to market and are quoted at :t. 304-50 per dozen. Bananas Arrive in Good Condition. Receipts In the fruit and vegetable line yesterday .were three cars of bananas in fine condition, one car of oranges, one of celery and one of sweet potatoes. The latter wre quoted very firm. The street is grad ually cleaning up its heavy supply of veg etables, prices all around were well main tained. Bunk Clearing.

NO DEMAND FROM SHORTS Railroad Earnings Reports Are Un favorable, ' but Iron Trade Ad vices .Are Distinctly Brighter. Copper Dividend Discounted. NEW TORX Jn. 16. The irowln. In stability of., the stock market at the ad vanced level ' fit srtces whicH has ben In evidence during all of this week, -culminated today in a reaction of some violence. 1 The downward course of prices was. .un-. accompanied by any news pointing;. to a ehanjte from the conditions which have pre-, vailed while prices were Being advanced. In fact, t there - were ' some facts indicating amelioration of factors .which . seemed t? militate against the advance while tt was in .foree. For Instance, iron trade 'advices are distinctly brighter than those heard at the . openlnc of the year. But . the stock market ' was unable to resist fhe topheavy condition to. which it had been brought by the extension of the one interest and its desire' to realize profits, while the elimi nation of the short interest which has been driven to cover on the rise, deprived the market of the principal source ot demand which has helped to sustain it for several days past The early movement of prices was erratic and feverish with the suspicion of manipulative measures to -sustain prices. These were apparently abandoned as the day advanced and the whole list save way. An example of the importance given to the showing; of railroad earnings was tho action of the. Missouri, Kansas '& Texas stocks on the publication of the earnirigs of that syatem for November. These showed a shrinkage of nearly 20 per cent in the gross .-earnings, with the expense of operating still expanding, the result being that the net return for the month was cut to less than half that shown for Novem ber of last year, while the charges for interest, rentals- and taxes would leave an actual deficit for the month, compared with $600,000 surplus last year. Compilations of the returns of 74 rail roads for November reporting previous to today show a decline In 'the net return of 13.40 per cent from that of November in the preceding year.' Gross earnings of 31 railroads for the first week. In January show a decrease of 12.81 per cent com pared with the corresponding week of last year. . This showing makes it certain that some heavy reductions in net earnings will have to be encountered later, when accounts are made up covering current operations. There is a fear,- also; that a bad impression will be made .W the quar terly report of the United States Steel Cor poration, .which will be published on the last Tuesday of the, month '. for the last quarter of last year, covering fhe period of -contraction following thef financial. panic. Reports have been coming -into Wall street during the week of the bad effect of ths mild weather on" the ..coal trade, and this has modified the good effect of the sus tained earnings heretofore -shown by tha coal-carrying railroads. The American Railway Association's estimate of 207.000 freight cars standing idle on the railroad lines of the country was a contributing ln flucnce to the depression. The reduction In the Amalgamated Copper dividend to the 2 per -ce'ht rate which was the low level prevailing for two years from the latter part of 1003. is a sufficient index of the depressed condition existing In that trade. This action was not. however, a dominant influence on the day's stock market as it was anticipated wifh exactitude and was followed by a subsequent rally ih prices. A judicial mandate to prominent finan ciers to answer questions in the fnterstat) Commerce Commission's investigation of the Harilman railroads, and the reports of renewed prosecution in the Standard Oil Company case were used with effect by the bearish element. Their activity led to, over-extension on the short side and a widespread covering movement rallied ttoe late, market. The reduction in the Bank of England official discount rate was to.o clearly foreseen to be of much immediate effect. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. $4.2.SO,000. United States 2's declined to and the 3's M per cent on call. ' CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. B.ld. 7. 166 52 V, 5014 514 3214 31 14 31 -Si 34 33 3'H4 i..
