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.

TRADE NOT HELPED
Abundance of Funds Does Not
Promote Business Activity.
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.

Estimated Increase in Argen
tina Wheat Movement. .
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. The strength
shown was due to an advance of almost
1 penny at Liverpool, an excellent demand
for cash wheat, and doubtful reDorts re
garding the condition of the Fall-sown crop
in the Southwest. The market closed
weak. May opened a ehade lower to a
shade higher at (1.02 to (1.02, advanced
to (1.03 and declined to (1.02, where
it closed.
Cold weather inspired active selling of
corn, which resulted in a weak tone
throughout the entire day. May opened
6o to o lower at 60c to 61c,
sold up to 61(&61c and closed at 61c
Oats were quiet and weak. May opened
c lower, at 54c. sold between 53 c and
64jj54c. and closed at 53 c.
Provisions were a trine easier early in
the day. owing to a 5-cent decline in live
hogs. The market regained all of the loss
later in the day on good demand for lard
and ribs by a local packer. The close was
steady, with May pork showing a gain of
2 & 6c- Lard was a shade higher and ribs
were unchanged.

Bill Relieving Homesteaders of
Hardships Passes Senate.
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-

In other words, if the entryman re

FUNDS FOR WALLA WALLA
Jones Introduces Bill to Provide
Public Building.
OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 23. Congressman Jones
has received a resolution from the
Waila Walla Commercial Club giving
him considerable information which
will enable him to put before the com
mittee on public buildings and grounds
in a convincing way the necessities of
Walia Walla for a public building, a
bill for which was introduced by Mr.
Jones the' first day of the present ses
sion of Congress. Mr. Jones is await
ing a little additional information he
has called for from the Postoffice De
partment, and when it is received he
intends to appear before the commit
tee and urge the claims of Walla
Walla for a public building.
Mr. Jones has introduced a bill re
tiring Thomas Harrison, a clerk in the
United States Naval Observatory here.
Mr. Harrison is over 80 years old and
has been in the service 60 years and
the bill seeks to retire him on a pen
sion. The bill is of interest to Wash
ington in that Mr. Harrison is the
uncle of Mrs. Snively, of North Yakima,
the wife of a prominent attorney of
that place who was the gubernatorial
candidate on the Democratic ticket in
1892.
Mr. Jones also introduced a petition
of citizens of Spokane who served as
soldiers and sailors in the Civil War
favoring the enactment of the Sher
wood bill which grants these veterans
a pension of il a day.

NEW YORK. 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..
