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. .

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

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

STOCKS TOO HIGH
Market Is Top Heavy and Vio
lent Reaction Occurs.
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.

mated. Strength of corn, reports from the
Northwest claiming small ' reserves, a fore
casted falling off during the week in exports
from Argentina and advices from the South
