TIN MARKET ACTIVE
Canners Buying for Their Sea
son's Requirements.
PRESENT PRICE VERY LOW
Indications Point to Higher Values
Prevailing Later Range of Quo
tations In Past Five Years.
Advance In Onions.
Much Interest is given to the tin maf
'ket at the present time, as canners are en
trased In laying In their season's aupply.
Buying la fairly active, compelled by the
necessities of canners to provide for March
April deliveries, which means reasonably
prompt shipment from Singapore. Aa com
pared with the quotations of a year ago,
prices of pig tin are exceedingly low. In
fact, thta article has not been so cheap
since the Summer of 1904. The quotation
yesterday wai 27 X cents, while a year ago
It was 2 cents. It la not safe to fore
cast the future of the market, but from
present Indications It may be Bald the
prospects favor higher rather than lower
values.
The average monthly prices of tin In
the last five yeara have been as follows:

ONION MARKET IS ADVANCING.
Sules Mude Yesterday at S2.50 Views of
W. I. Swank.
Wires from San Francisco yesterday re
ported the onion market strong and advanc
ing with quotations ranging from $2.75 to
S2.90. The market here was very firm, but
not active. Some sales at $2.50 were re
ported. W. I. Swank, a leading onion buyer, says
the growers will find next month the best
time to sell.
"Stocks In Oregon are mucTi reduced," he
said yesterday. "Only about 80 cars are un
told and 25 are in the hands of dealers.
The market Is strong now and will continue
so unless Kaatern onions are brought In
heavily. The season will last for 60 days
yet. but the growers will find that February
will bo the best time to sell. Soma orders
have been placed for Japanese onions, which
will arrive here In March and will probably
be taken for the Alaska trade. These Jap
anese onions can be laid down here at a
cost of about $2 75 to $3 duty paid."
Potatoes are moving more freely, as there
Is a good demand and farmers are disposed
to accept the current prices, which are 75
cents for the best offerings down to 50 cents
for ordinary grades.
BUTTER GETTING READY TO DROP.
Decline on Front street May Affect the
Entire Market.
A decline In the butter market seems to be
Imminent. The weak feature of the situa
tion la the oversupply on Front street. With
the local demand slow and no shipping In
quiry. It looka aa If the only solution can
be a sharp reduction la price of outside
creamery grades, probably to a 30-ccnt basis
for all except a few brands. Tha city cream
oiy market, which le none too Arm, notwith
standing a small quantity of the local pro
duct held above the current market price,
is likely to be affected by the proposed de
cline on Front street.
Bggs are very weak and slow of sale. Sin
gle caws are offered at 27ft cents, but this
price Is generally shaded on lota.
The tone of the poultry market is Im
proved, but not enough yet to affect prices.
The Indications, however, point to some ad
vance In tho coming week.
Four Can of Unsold Oranges.
A car of celery, which came In in poor
condition, was the - only carlot arrival on
Front street yesterday. The Southern celery
market Is advancing, but prices are easier
here because of the nature of the stuff of
fering. The present condition of the orange
market Is Indicated by the presence of four
cars of California oranges unsold on the
track, all high-class fruit. The demand on
Front street is for the cheaper grades.
When Weak said Inactive.
The wheat market was reported very slow
yesterday and weaker. In view of the fur
ther decline In the European market, local
buyers reduced their prices 1 cent.

REPORTS ARE MIXED
Some Plants" Have Resumed;
but Many Are Still Idle.
COLLECTIONS ARE BETTER
General Business Continues to Re
flect the Restricted Purchasing
Power of Unemployed Thou
sands Hides Are Firmer.
NEW YORK. Jan. 24. R. G. Dun ft Co.'
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
More manufacturing plants have resumed
and money Is abundant at easy terms, but
business feels the weakened purchasing power
of the thousands still unemployed. Buyers
arrived in large numbers In the local Job
bing dry goods market, placing fair orders
at the lowest prices named on some descrip
tions, and this forward business was also
liberal at other large centers.
Mercantile collections continue to improve,
although backward at many points. Indus
trial news was slightly more encouraging on
the whole, but there is much idle machinery
and the local coal output has been curtailed
on that account, together with the tardiness
of Winter.
A little better demand is noted for pro
ducts of Iron and steel, and more plants have
resumed, until, lt is probable that one-half
the capacity Is in ogantion. Results thus tar
have been accomplished without material con
cessions in prices. Building operations . are
resuming to some extent. Structural steel
was also taken for railway bridges.
A better tone is recorded In the hide mar
ket, ' tanners exhibiting more Interest and a
substantial volume of business was trans
acted. COMMODITY PRICES MOVE DOWNWARD.
Wholesale Trade, as a Whole. Is Slow to
Onen.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Bradstreefs will
tomorrow say:
Trade and industry are still quiet, com
modity prices have quite generally moved
downward, collections are backward, an in
creased quantity of railroad equipment is re
ported idle, less satisfactory reports as to
demand come from the iron and steel and
coal Industries and an increased dlspositton
is noted to discuss wage reductions ss an
offset to restricted production.
Wholesale trade, as a whole, is slow to
open. Travelers on the road report buying
to be of a fllling-in character, sufficient .mere
ly to replace broken stocks, and a slow late
opening of Spring trade Is looked for. Re
ports aa to collections indicate slowness in
meeting engagements, and mention is made
of numerous extensions being asked and
granted.
There are a number of reports of resump
tion, of increased time in various industries.
but these are largely offset, on the whole.
by restriction in other lines. Some metal
working industries are running fuller and
lumber mills at the South and on tha Pacific
Coast are reported resuming.
