TAKE MUCH WHEAT
Active Buying at Points in the
Interior.
STIR AT WALLA WALLA
Large Blocks Bought t'p in Last Few
Days at Firm Prices Demand
Strengthens the Ideas
of Holders. -
There were no new development In the
grain markets yesterday. Wheat waa
quoted fairly steady at the previous day's
prices, but ao far as could be learned, not
much was bought. Oats and barley were
slow, but firm. The flour market was re
ported dull, but xnlllfecd was very firm
but no higher.
Advices from Walla Walla not active
buying; n that market in the last few days.
From December 1 until January 11 prac
tically nothing was done there, but on the
latter date thn market awoke and since
then about 400,000 bushels have changed
hands. One buyer took on 2o0,000 bushels.
Most of this 'wheat was purchased at 73
renta for club and 11 cents for bluestem.
This movement has stiffened the. farmers
and now most of them are holding- oft for
an 80-cent market. '
Experts at Walla Walla estimate that
only about one-fourth of the crop of the
county haa been sold. They figured out the
yield at i, 000.000 bushels and on this basis
have some 3,7."O,O0O bushels still on hand.
According to Superintendent Cutter, of the
Northern Pacific, a large amount of grain
has been sold at different stations In the
Inland Empire, and Judging from the num
ber of care ordered, the company expects to
have all it can do In the next month in
handling .the shipments.
ENGLISH HOP MARKET IS QCIET.
But Holder on thi Other Side Are Not
Aluklns; Concessions.
London cables yesterday reported the
English hop market quiet, but holders were
not making concessions.
In the local market there wag consider
able activity, most of the lots changing
hands being of small size. Among the
transactions was the pun'hajje by the seavey
Hop Company of a 92-baIa lot of good
primal at Eugene at 5 cents.
Klaber. Wolf & Nettleton bought several
lots, mostly for the American trade, and
John Carmlchael was also reported to be a
buyer. No news-was forthcoming as-to the
Horst Company's operation.
The local dealers artf getting ready to
mak up their annual, estimate of unsold
stocks in the state, one good nTect of which
will be to settle the dispute as to the size
of the 1107 crop.
v
WESTERN WOOI-S IX THE EAST.
Htocks of Oregon Are Small and No Sales
Are Reported.
Mall advices from Boston do not report
any sales of Oregon wool in that market
last week. Stocks are small, particularly
of good staple and clothing wools.
Among the transactions In territory wool
are staple and clothing wools graded and In
the original bags. Qood fine staple has sold
at 24 to 2oc and half-blood staple, which
Is scarce, at 25 to 2c. Fine and fine me
dium clothing wools sold at a wioje range of
prices as to quality, from 17 to 22c. The
scoured coat is placed at "Oc for fine staple,
67 to 6SC for half-blood staple, 63 to 5c.. for
fine' clothing. ftO to 61. c for fine medium,
about 65c for three-eighths, -ami 57 to 58c for
one-quarter blood. About 500.000 pounds of
Montana wool changed hands at Philadel
phia during the week at 23c for half-llood
staple and lOc for fine and fine medium
clothing.
PLENTY OF ORANGES COMING.
Eleven Carloads Will Reach Portland With
in the Next Week.
There will be no scarcity of oranges In
the local market for some time to come.
Besides the fair stocks already carried, two
cars arrived yesterday and 11 mor cars
will be in before next Saturday. The light
supply of. apples was Increased by the ar
rival of a car from Wenatchee consisting of
Northern Spy and Rome Beauties. The apple
market is firm at previous prices. California
advices report a firmer lemon market there.
Vegetables are cleaning up well and
prices are generally maintained. Two cars of
Ijos Angeles cauliflower and three cars of
celery will be In early next week.
Eggs Working Downward.
Eggs are arriving very freely and ac
cumulating In some quarters. The local
trad Is only fair and as the dealers find
Northern buyers indifferent, it Is necessary
to reduce prices further to keep the goods
moving.
The poultry market lacked snap yester
day, and Friday is usually the best day of
the week. As receipts were not heavy, the
previous day's prices were in force.
No new developments occurred In the
butter market and the former range of
prices was quoted.
Onion Sales Are Slow.
- The onion market Is slow, owing to the
unwillingness of holders to .sell at current
prices. One or two cars have been sold at
$3 10 and the sale of a car at $2.15 for
February delivery is reported. Most of the
buyers are willing to pay 2 cents, but not
many care to go over that price. It is
ald that sales to date for shipment up to
February 1 are 20 to 30 cars, and the shippers
art apprehensive of the effect these arrivals
will have on the markets. There Is also
renewed talk of bringing onions from the
Fast, but no facts are available on this
subject.

EARLY DECLINE IN STOCKS
Miplng Industrials Hardest Hit by
the Slump in the Early Part of
' the Day Late Kecoverj
Is Maintained.
NEW TORK, Jas. 17. Substantial progress
was made today In the digestion of specu
lative profit-talcing; whicn has been accumu
lating on the stock market for several days
past. The sharp reaction which developed
yesterday was quite widely extended- during
the early trading today and afforded such
relief from the pressure bearing on the market
that" the way was. opened for a material re
covery. The bears were active sellers -on the
decline and their active demand to cover
helped the rebound.
So did the circulation of rumors of impor
tant changes In financial Institutions, especial
ly an alleged passing of control of the Equi
table Life Insurance Society. to J. P. Mor
gan. This rumor, coupled with the aggregate
advance in Northern Pacific, was the effective
factor in turning the market and driving the
bears to -rout. Northern Pacific showed re
sistance to the early depression, in conse
quence of the same showing in yesterday's de
cline. The persistence of this strength gave
it impreesiveness and served to convince tile
skeptical that some good news was forth
coming regarding the stock, the result being
the revival of assertions of an intended extra
dividend on the stock, such as were current
prior to the declaration of the regular divi
dend. Money markets gave striking evidence of
the continued growth of banking reserves
both here and abroad. The declining tendency
of foreign discounts and the appearance of
continental lenders In the Ixmdon market,
driving down tne London discount rate, did
not prevent a rapid rise. Jn the sterling ex
change rate bere and discussion of a possible
early gold export movement. Reserves are
now accumulating so rapidly on -New York
that this prospect seems to have no dis
turbing effect. The banks have . made an
other heavy gain on the week's interior cur
rency movement, receipts and balances from
the Interior having reached apparently the
neighborhood of S8.000,OUi. besides about $2,
OOO.vuO on sub-treasury operations.
That exports of gold at this time would
hinge on money market considerations rather
than on merchandise accounts against the
United States Is indicated by the foreign trade
statement for December, which shown an ex
cess value of exports of sil4,S90,e5, which
is more than twice as great as in December
of 1006. December gold net Imports amounted
to $43,444,138. following Ihe U3,uOO,000
brought In during November. There has been
an abrupt falling off In the value of Decem
ber Imports of merchandise to $92,288,771, com
pared with $U0.943.000 in November and $134.
350,000 In December of 1906. making a strik
ing exhibit of the country's reduced con
sumption as an effect of the financial crisis.
December exports, on the other hand, have
risen several million dollars over4 eveSi the
November record, to an absolute record for
any one month of $207,179, 40U The outward
movement, of grain and cotton has conduced
largely to this result.
The violent early decline in prices' centered
largely In the metal industrials. Amalgamated
Copper and American Smelting being special
targets of attack, for reasons obvious In the
depressed condition of th,e mining Industries.
New York Central was also pressed for-sale
sharply, the. lon account in the stock -having
been considerably extended in the buying fol
lowing the sale of equipment no(es. The sell
ing of Amalgamated Copper was accompanied
-by comparisons of the relatively high price
of the stock now and when It was on a 2 per
cent annual dividend basis before. The ex
tent of the retrenchment plans outlined in
reports concerning some of the great railroad
systems was a weight on sentiment. The late
recovory was well maintained and last prioes
were near the best.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$3,350,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

PBKIN". Jan. 17. The officials of Shansi
province have recovered from the Pekin
Syndicate, a British corporation, all the
concession rights held by the syndicate
in Shansi. The Ions' negotiations in an
endeavor to reach a compromise, were
closed yesterday by the syndicate airree
ing to accept 2,700.000 taels, payable in
four years, and quit the province. The
matter of "rights recovery" recently has
brought about a revival of the demon
strations against the syndicate, which
held the sole riffhts over the immense
mineral fields in Shansi. So incensed were
the Inhabitants against the granting of
these concessions to the foreigners that
a rebellion was precipitated last year.
HESSIAN FLY NEWS
Kansas Reports Cause Rise
in Chicagp Wheat Market.
GAIN AT CLOSE, 1 CENT
Additional Demand Inspired by
Claims of Small Reserves In the
Farmers Hands in Xorth Da
kota Oats Still Neglected.
CHICAGO, Jan. 17. Wheat prices on the,
exchange advanced more than 1 cent today,
owing to confirmation of recent reports re
garding damage" by the Hessian fly to the
Winter sown crop In the Southwest. At the
close, the May delivery showed a net gain
of lc. Corn was up 4c. Oats were
4!4c higher. Provisions were a shade to
lOfiJiac lower.
The wheat market opened weak on Bell
ing by pit traders, which was brought out
by lower cables and by continued liberal
receipts in the Northwest. Before the end
of the first half-hour, however, the mar
ket began to show signs of recovery and
steadily gained in strength the remainder
of the day. The change In sentiment was
due primarily to an advance In corn, but
the bullishness manifested late In the ses
sion was chiefly the result of a statement
issued by a St. Louis trades journal con
firming previous reports of damage by Hes
sian flies to growing wheat in parts of
Kansas. Claims of small reserves In farm
ers hands in North Dakota inspired addi
tional demand. Shorts were active buyers
the last half of the day and the market
closed strong. May opened to Ho
lower at 1.03 K advanced to l-04
and closed at $1.04.
The early break in wheat caused some
weakness in corn during the first few min
utes of trading, but the market soon rallied
and held strong the remainder of the day.
The market closed strong. May opened a
shade lower at 0Oc, sold at 60H (frSOHc
and then advanced to Glic. The close was
at lc.
Oats were neglected. trade being very
quiet all day. May opened c lower at
5414c sold up to 54c and closed at 51H
54c.
Provisions were weak because of free sales
by local packers. At the 'close May pork

SLOW PROGRESS IS MADE
CONFIDENCE IX FUTURE GROWS
FASTER THAN BUSINESS.
Buyers Appear In leading Markets
in Large Numbers Looking
. for Bargains.
S1W YORK, Jan. 17.7 R. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Progress Is slow, but each week brings a
little improvement and confidence In the
future grows more rapidly than current
transactions. The best feature Is the broad
er market for commercial paper. Loans In
mercantile channels are now negotiated
freely at little more than the normal rate,
facilitating proposed undertakings and mak
ing collections more prompt. Buyers are
coming into the leading markets In large
numbers, which should soon Increase trans
actions unless prices cannot be adjusted.
Manufacturers increase production grad
ually, conservatism being general, and many
Industries are not operating more than 50
per cent of their full .capacity. Readjust
ment of wages is still contemplated by
many producers before machinery will be
started.
Several more steel plants have resumed
and others will start up next week, hut
production will continue much reduced un
til orders come forward with greater free
dom. Blast furnaces are slow to resume
snd a meeting will be held next week to
determine upon the wage scale. Prices have,
declined to an extent that necessitates plans
for lowering costs of production. A fair
tonnage was taken by manufacturers ot
cast-iron pipe, but concessions m prices are
asked by all buyers.
Bank exchanges this week at all leading
cities in the United States are $2.480,2O7.3:;5,
a loss of 21.8 per cent, compared with a
year ago. and 30.9 per cent compared with
the corresponding week of 1906.

lections benefited by the return to normal
in domestic money markets, but trade de
mands arc still below the normal and In
sime sections a late and small Spring trade
is predicted.
Accompanying the. greater ease of money
at all centers seems to have come a tend
ency to pay up something on old liabilities,
and some long-standing bills have been
settled. All reports point to trade, despite
improvement over December, being below
tbe normal for this season. There Is a dis
position to look for small, frequent and per
haps late buying and a later than normal
opening of Spring trade.
