TIIE MORNING OREGONIAX, FRIDAY. JANUARY 21, 1908. 17 E Market Is Slow, With a Lighter Eastern Demand. SIX CENTS THE TOP PAID 51ost of the Lots Xow Offering on the Market Are of Inferior Grade Trade Kcports From London. Hop buying has quieted down consider ably this week and only a few buyer, are now In the market. The Oregon crop has been well picked over and most of the lots at present offered to the trade are of In ferior quality. So far as can be learned no export business Is being done, and on the basis of Eastern orders. 6 cents Is about the beat that dealers can pay. Most of the transactions lately have been around 4 and 4 cents. The trading yesterday-was principally among dealers and was confined to small lots. Among the purchases from growers was a lot of 118 bale that A. J. Ray & Son bought at Dayton at 6 cents. Isaac Pincus & Sons secured 200 bales In the Chetxalla section at 5 cents. The pur chase of Hart & Hubbard In the past week aggregated 1312 bales, some of them Wash ington a, with prices ranging from 2 to cents. Reports continue to come In of the pres ence of blue mold, but opinion is divided as to the extent of the "damage. The latest English trade reports received, bearing dates of January 4 to January tf. follow: Wild. Neama & Co., London The new year has opened with a better inquiry for hops of all descriptions, though the actuiU business taking place W still of a limited character. Values are without lteUon:pir Manger & Henley. London The Inquiry for good copper hops continues and several lots have changed hands. There are good offers made for goldinga. but in some in stance refused, more money being expect ed presently ae the year advances. W. H. and H. Le May, London There Is certainly more general inquiry for useful found copper nops, which, ai e now ottering at such a price as should muke them sound Investment against eventualities, they be ing below the cost of production. The Kxchange and Hop Warehouses. Lon donThere Is not much alteration in the state of the market juat yet, although the demand for middle quality hops Is improv ing, a few long lots have been sold during the week, trade Is expected to be brink dur ing the next few weeks, and an Improve ment In price is expected. J II. Meredith Ac Co., Worcester Busi ness opens slowly after the holidays, trans actions being chiefly out of merchants stocks Rt the low quotations current before Christmas. The supply of good hops is extremely small and rtrnily held. On Satur day pockets of new hops passed the pub lic' stales besides ,-S pockets of yearlings but only one pocket was weighed previously in WKSTKKN WOOLS 1W THE EAST. New Important Transactions In Oregon Wool Movement of Territories. Xo Important transactions In Oregon wools In the Eastern markets are reported' in the latest mail advices from Boston. On the staple wool left former prices are quoted. 23c being considered an outside quo tation for No. 1 A small lot of fine XXXX scoured sold at GTc. - " The market l also quiet on territory wools, with most reported transactions in small lota of 10.000 to 25,000 pounds each; the only exception being a round lot of 7f.000 pounds, understood to have been sold to a large mill by a seller who wished to clean up the pile. The terms are kept private. The tone of the market is steady for staple wools, which cannot be bought much less than 70c scoured for fine, and 6Tc for half-blood. Kin and half-blood staple together have sold at 25 c In the grease, a scoured basis of TO to 72c being reported, and about :w),H)t pounds of half-blood straight At 20c and a little less, the scoured cot being placed at 83c. A fair amount of medium clothing wool sold at 24 to 20c, the scoured basis ranging from 55 to GOc and a few hundred thousand pounds of fine and fine medium clothing have been taken up in small Individual quantities at a wide range of prices, as to quality, from 17 to 22c. WIDE RANGE OF BUTTER PRICES. City' Creamery Brands Being Forced Up. Country Grades Weaker. The local butter market is somewhat complicated. There Is a spread of 71 to 10 cents on a roll In the price of some o the creamery brands, and the tendency ls toward a still wider margin. The city creameries seem inclined to force the price higher, while the country creameries may have to take lower prices to dispose of their output. The general quotation on city creamery butter is 37 H cents a pound, but a limited quantity is held at 40 cents. One of the local Institutions named this top price on the best portion of its make, and another now quotes its entire product at 40 cents. The rest of the Portland creameries, so far, have declined to enter the race for the honor of being high man, but may be drawn into the contest. This butter war, or what ever it is, was inaugurated not for the pur pose of squeezing more money out of the consumer but to increase the Individual cream supply of the manufacturers, and after bidding up on the raw material the necessary consequence has been an eleva tion of the selling price of the butter. It is announced by the two creameries in ques tion that the demand for their product has been in no degree lessened by the advance. On the other hand the Front-street butter market is in a decidedly weak condition, be ing badly overstocked with many brands of country creamery. Some of this butter is pronounced of excellent quality, but even at 32 cents it cannot be worked off as fast as It comes In. Ixmdon Apple Market. The weekly apple report of W. Dennis & Sons, of London, says; Our market Is at the moment practically 1are of apples, so far as recent Importa tions are concerned, but there are still in the hands of dealers stocks, not Inconsid erable, whit h consist mainly of inferior quality of fruit. The demand is certainly much better at the moment than at any time within the past four weeks, and we cannot but think that any shipments which may be afloat will realize good values com pared with what hns been obtainable dur ing the past few weeks. There la a particular scarcity of really good fruit and there Is no difficulty in making from K.s to lSa per barrel on Bald wins or Greenings that open up of fair sixe und clean, but we have a great deal of inferior qualUy on the market, which Is legging it so much that it Is only some thing good that stands out by Itself that commands attention. VIEWS OF BEERBOHM ON WHEAT. Believed Argentine's Surplus Will Not Be Equal to Europe's Requirements. In commenting on the unusually strong position of the wheat market Bee r boh m writes In the London Trade List as follows: It is hardly necessary for u9 to recall what Is now generally agreed to be a sound proposition, vis., that the market has seldom r never been in the strong position statis tically that It now Is. The present world's wheat visible total Is practically the small cut, wlih one exception, that of January 1. 1 Sil. on record. The world's visible of January 1 may be taken as a fair record or indication of the position of the article, but this year the attendant conditions are un usual and somewhat abnormal becaune ow ing to the financial stringency in America . id Canada a much greater proportion of FEWBUY S S the crops has been already exported or i "in sight" that would usually be the case. In other words, the amount of wheat at the back of the American visible supply must be considerably smaller than at this time last year and the same Is evidently true of Russia and Roumania. It Is not surprising, therefore, that the trade Is beginning to realize how much Is dependent upon Ar gentine wheat during the remainder of the season and how unlikely it is that the ex ports from that country can be equal to the European requirements. PRODUCE TRADE IS IMPROVED. Onions in Strong Demand, but Practically None Offering. The presence of a large number of out-of-town grocers In the city has stimulated the produce trade, especially in the orange line, and supplies are being worked off about as fast as they come in. The apple market continues to display firmness as Stocks in the country, especially of the cheaper grades, clean up. Among the produce ar rivals yesterday were three cars of oranges, two of which were distributed and two cars of sweet potatoes. A car of celery will be in '.oday. The onion market is gaining in strength as the demand Is very good and practically none are being offered. Home small sales at $2.25 are reported. The trade Is rnostly en gaged now in getting off shipments of previous purchases, which is made difficult by the scarcity of cars. Poultry and Eggs Slow. The poultry market drags along slowly. Receipts for several days have . been below the average, but the demand has also been very light. Prices previously quoted are still in force. The egg trade was quiet yesterday with no change in prices. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

THOUGH FEELING IS BETTER Pause in Speculative Operations in Wall Street Seekers of New Capital Not Able to Profit by the Conditions. NEW YORK. Jan. 23. The movement of th stock market today was nnder restraint and professional operations were not able to make much impression on prices. The early dealings made up a large portion of the total transactions. The reduction In the official document rates of the Bank of England and the Bank of France was made the occasion for opening prices here on a higher level. prices fell back sharply to the lowest at the last. t The pause in speculative activity was in harmony with the tenor of news of affairs. The rapid progress towards ease in the money market was unaccompanied by any positive evidence of a revival being . thua stimulated In trade activity, although im provement in sentiment in various lines of trade was discernible, as It applied to hopes of future revivals. This was true of Iron and steel trade. The reduction of the Bank of England's official discount rate from 5 to 4 per cent was wider than was anticipated, but the accumulation of reserves to a proportion of 54.80 per cent of liabilities proved the ne cessity of the step in order to conserve the central institution's influence in . the open money market where the new discount rate was still .higher than the open market, which also receded before the reduction In the bank rate. The acceptance of this ex ample by the Bank of Prance confirms the universality of the easing tendency of money. It was significant of the feeling persisting towards Questions of new capital Issues, notwithstanding the rapid accumulation of money resources, that suggestions of new loans, even when reported to be already ar ranged for.' have caused .depression in" ex isting securities of the companies affected. Delaware & tiudson was an example, the severe recent decline in that stock being followed by well defined reports today of the placing of a $10,000,000 one-year-note issue. The seeking of only short-time ac commodation by this company, as was done also by the Vanderbllt Consolidated Gas Company, and extension secured for some other short-time loans were regarded as offering but moderate promise ff immediate advantage to seekers of new capital from the evident piling up of funds in the bank ing centers. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, 12,284.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

CHICAGO MARKET WEAKENS Prices Strong in Early Part of Day on Better Cables, Good Cash De mand and Unfavorable Re ports From Southwest. CHICAGO. Jan. 23. The wheat market was strong almost all day. but became weak in the last houri because of an esti mate of wheat shipments from Argentina, Indicating a material increase in the movement from that -country.

ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 23. It is now up to the House of Representatives, to pass the bill recently iut through the Senate granting a leave of absence to homestead entrymen during the months of Decem ber, January, February and March of each year. This bill was promptly re ported by the Senate committee on pub lic lands, on the showing of hardships which are so often endured by settlers in a new country. The homestead law requires them to remain on their land the year round The homesteader, in his first years, has little to occupy his time during the Win ter months; he has no opportunity to earn an income, and he is actually de prived of the privilege he might other wise enjoy of moving to town and secur ing employment during the continuance of cold weather. The Interior Depart ment approved the bill, and it was with this indorsement that it was reported and passed the Senate. As it passed the Senate the bill pro vides: "That no homestead entry shall be canceled and no final proof shall be rejected because of any failure of the en tryman named therein to hereafter ac tually reside upon the land covered by his entry during the months of Decern- DOWNING-HOPKINS CCX BROKERS STOCKS, BONDS, GRAIN swihl mmA sat sW sass. asal ass ssarrta.

In other words, if the entryman re sides on his land from Airil 1 to No vember 30, Inclusive, for five successive years,, he will have fully complied with the residence clause of the homestead law.

Jan. 2.1.Fim for one of the large railroad companies, says the Tribune, show that a week ago "no ov.wu iaie ireignt cars m the United States and about 8000 locomotives which are laid im on ammt n v, .,u ing off in traffic. As there arc 2.209,000 iicisui vara in me country, this would show that 1 per cent of all the cars owned by railroads are kile. The state ment shows that the railroads have H40. 000,000 tied up in rolling stock for which there is no present use. It is estimated that more than, 30.00J men less are needed than if all these cars were in service. Many of these men have been laid off. But fixed charges of a railroad must be met in dull times as well as in active, and maintenance and other expenses must be provided for, and in view of all the facts, the man agements of many railroads are under stood to be discussing the question of reducing wages, much disliked, but a necessary measure..
