FOREIGN MARKET PICKS UP HiiSlb.li Trade Takes a Bullili View of the Situation Front-Street Hutter Market Top Heavy. Demand for Oranges. Orain buyers are offfrity? T cents fr blue--atm and cenla for club wheat In the Portland and Tuet Sound markets, but are not swum much at th'a price. Farmers are slow ec-ners mint the dealers apparently are not sorry for it. with the forelfin markets contlnuinc n such a depressed mate. Home ellKht Indications of improvement wre sven In the English market yesterday and should thing continue to brighten there, there will be more Inducement to buy at thlfl end. With a revival of activity In, the Northwest, higher prices are expected to follow. Opinions in the local trade vary as to the quantity of wheat remaining in farmers' hands in the three atatea. but a conservative estimate is a sixth of the crop. Most of the foreign grain men take a bullish view of the situation. It la evident from the manner in which wheat has been exported from the Tnlted States that the reserves are being reduced to very small proportions. The exports cannot keep up much longer unless the estimates of the crop were radically wrong. In commenting on the outlook. F. Lenders Co., ot London, write: The position of wheat appears to us as perfectly sound, and to be gaining strength dally, so that wehave little hesitation In ex pressing a favorable opinion as to future prospects, and wo look for a largely Increased consumptive demand both In this country and on the continent, which will undoubtedly Ir-ad to strong markets, and In all probability to a further Improvement In values1. Tht weather In Argentine appears to have been favorable on the whole, but some firm continue to receive rather disquieting reports, one especially saying that 3( per cent of the wheat and oats In the South has been damaged through gales and hailstorms. Anxious ns wo may nil be to regard thl in formation n grossly exaggerate!. It would at the same time be folly to ignore it, es pecially In view of the vital importance to Kurope of a large Plate crop secured in good condition. Let nm repeat once more that, if the r.no.000. flW.000 or 7oo,0(rf quarters which Argentine Is expected to supply ua with weekly were to be augmented by liberal shipments from North America. India. Australia and the Black Spa. there might be cause for fear that Kurope would not he able to stand up against such supplies, especially at the present level of values, but all evidence points to the fact that exports from the sources mentioned are likely to be of a dwindling character, and in some cases practically nil. Argentine ship pers ought to know this as well as anyone t Ifo. and It will always be a matter of won der to us why they never seemed thoroughly to grasp the fact, as that country certainly holds the key of the situation, and If they had taken anything like concerted action, they could easily have put the market up to 45s or even 50s per quarter; that they failed to do t h Is, Kuropean consumers may feel truly thankful. The news from India continues gloomy, and the prospect of any wheat being successfully grown for export doubtful in the extreme. This, however, has been expected for ertme time and has probably been discounted; but the latest news from Russia Is distinctly dis quieting. According to today's cable, ad vtc there Is hurd frost In the greater part of the Southwest, without snow covering, and crop prospects are poor. Te principal Black gea porta are still without arrivals from the Interior, and; markets keep wonderfully Arm. CAI'SK OF BUF MOLD IN HOPS. Germ Get Into the Cone Before Picking Time, According; to an Expert. Trade was reported quiet In the hop mar ket yesterday. The B. C. Horst Company was eald to be buying, but the other firms were mainly occupied in taking in previous purchases. A wire from California reported that market "sick" and placed the unsold stock of ll7s at 28,000 bales. In dlscusrtng the attack of blue mold on hops, a well-known dealer said yesterday: 'I eaw this trouble coming as long ago as last October. In fact, when I saw the first samples ot the crop, I knew that unless the hops were moved East promptly, they would become Infected. The trouble is due to the condition of the hop Itself and not to the weather. We have warm, moist weather every Winter, but if the hops are sound to start with, there can be no blue mold. "The disease for that is all it ts Is the effect of the burrs getting their second growth during the rainy weather at picking time. This second growth waj clearly shown by the dark brown color of the cones. When I dis covered this color in the early samples I knew that trouble was likely to come later, for the conditions were Just the same in 1S99. The mold first shows itself In the cone and then npreads to the outer edge of the hop. The climatic conditions, of course, have caused the mold to get lte growth, but it would not have appeared if the germs had not already been in the hop. Frost seems to check the spread of the disease by killing the germs, and when blue moldy hops are put In cold stomge their condition grows no worse. High dried hops. I believe, are never attacked." OrTSIUE Hl'TTKK IN OTEBSt'PI-LV Front Street Heavily Stocked, with. Ie ntand Very Light. Although there Is a firm tone in the city creamery butter market, owing to the light arrivale of cream that will grade as No. 1, the Front-street market is badly overlooked. Country creamery butter of excellent quality I. being offered there at 30 and 3i'i cents. The supply is beyond all local requirement and as there is no outside outlet at the pres ent time. It is difficult to see how the sur plus can be dt.poscd of. Only a few brands of outside butter are now held up to 35 cents. Commission men say they do not re member when the market was so badly over loaded before at this time of year. Eggs arrive freely from all parts of the Valley and etock9 are slowly but surely ac cumulating. Local retulle:t buy very cau tiously. In order to interest Northern buy ers, it was found ne-essary yesterday Jo make a further cut in the price, and some business was reported done at 2GS cents on outside account. The general quotation single caws waa 27 cents. The poultry market was dull, with receipts light and the demand for chickens slow. Ducks were in fair request. Turkeys were almost unsalable. A small California Inquiry for cheese is reported, which hae had the effect of some what steadying the market. The last steamer out from Tillamook brought 600 cases. MOP UNION PROMOTERS HOPEFn.

GENERAL BUSINESS QUIET Stock Market in Professional Hands. Rally Low Point or Morn ing Is Xot Held and Clos ing Tone Is Easy. NEW YORK. Jan. 22- Professional opera tions dominated the stock market today. There was a suspicion that tfVe turn In the market was fostered by the strong fcnancial lnteresta which have been given' credit for the support of the market which had been affective up to the end of last week. Con ditions were not appreciably changed today from yesterday. Evidence accumulated of the piling of money in this center, of the growing pres sure to put it out in loans and of the in creasing plethora In loaning channels which Is resulting. The same tendency seems to b quite universal and -reduction in the of ficial discount rates of the Banks of Eng land and France tomorrow was canvassed aa a likelihood In foreign markets. This development Is having its Inevitable effect In Improving the demand for "gilt-edged," highly secured bonds of a seasoned capacity. Information coming to hand today offered little assurance for present expansion of business activity, beyond the increase in confidence of an early revival of demand, for products to be stimulate: by the relax ation in the money market. The day's fluctuations were followed with timidity in either direction and the substan tial rally from the low point of the morn- ng was not with any confidence, the closing tone being heavy. A brisk rally in the Rock Island collateral bond issues was a feature of the bond mar ket, which waa otherwise irregular. Total ales, par value, $3,024,000. United States registered 4s declined per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 22. ( Special. Declaring that the market Is overstocked with coal, the Pacific Coast Company has closed down the Lawson mine near Black Diamond. The action throws out of work several hundred miners, most of whom have homes near the mine, and re duces the production of coal by 400 tons daily. The action of the company is a sur prise to the public, following as it dors, the loudly proclaimed shortage of coal which the officers of the Pacific Coast Company warned the public would take place this Winter. This loudly voiced prediction followed an advance of $1 a ton on the price of coal at the Pacific Coast bunkers, and was made as an ex cuse for such an advance In midsum mer. The Lawson mine is a large producer of the best grade of coal mined by the Pacific Coast Company. Shutting it down will materially affect the coal supply of Seattle, and this action of the Pacific Coast Company may result in a scarcity of coal in a few weeks' time. Under present market conditions. Black Dia mond lump coal ought to be selling for from $5 to $5.50 a ton at the bunkers, instead of $7 a ton. the present price. .
