EGGS WILL BE CHEAP
This Is the Opinion of the
Front-Street Trade.
LOW PRICES IN THE SPRING
Market In on the Downward Grade
Xow, as Becelpts Are large and
Retailers Only Buy v for
Immediate Needs;
The dealers who have been speculating
In a .mall way In esfr In anticipation of
cold weather have about given up the be
lief that we will have any Winter, and are
turning their attention now to getting rid
of what they have on hand. In furthering
this plan they dropped prices another cent
yesterday, quoting 25 to 2 cents. Retailers,
however, are willing for the Jobbers to do
ill the speculating, and. therefore, are.
nly buying from hand to mouth. Some of
lhe Front-street firms report their receipts
iwice as large as their sale's. As stocks are
lecumulattng all along the street It Is evl
tent that the downward course of prices
!!! continue unless the weather changes
Toon- "
The opinion prevails that prices will be
unusually low In the local market in the
coming Spring and the Eastern trade has
the same Idea of very low values. The latest
issue of the Chicago Packer says on this
subject:
Already there Is considerable gossip
among the egg trade, the storage ware
houses and tne banks about the outlook
for the coming season. To a man everybody
t predicts that esgs will go in at a lower
price this year than for several years past.
It Is rumored here that a coterie of bankers
have already come to a practical agreement
that 3 per case will be the outside price ad
vantcd on eggs this season and only to A-1
customers at that. Some incline to believe
that somothlng like 2.r0 will perhaps be
nearer the average advance. As a general
proposition storage eggs appear to have
go- on the list of -bad speculative com
modities' with the banks, and while the
banks profess to never have lost any large
amounts of money in financing the egg deal,
the fact remains true that they have lost a
great deal of sleep and have often been
worried nearly to death over the loans made
to certain clients. . ...
On the other hand, it is believed that
there will be considerable Idle capital put
on the market in the near future, and if
there is any difficulty In getting aJl money
invested that will be on the hands of the
banks It Is the Idea of some few people In
the trade that advances on storage eggs will
probably not be so hard to get, even if
large figure Is not advanced.
Altogether, prospects for the coming egg
season Indicate that there will be an enorm
ous production again, and reports at the
present time certainly do not tend to convey
the Impression that there will be any
scarcity of laying hens. Many new terri
tories whore eggs have not been produced
in commercial quantities heretofore have
been opened up. and with Improved trans
portation facilities these stocks enn all be
transported from the furtherest point West
to the furtherest point Kast or stopped off
to be put in storage at intermediate, points.

Country Creamery Butter Shaded.
Except for the shading of prices on some
brand of butter on Front street there
were no new developments ' In the butter
market yesterday. The tone of the market
was very easy and it Is likely that in a
few day there will be an all around de
cline In price, stock on the whole are
excessive, both of fresh make and storage.
While the Coast markets are weakening,
because of the mild winter, -prices In the
East are tending upward, yesterday's Elgin
quotation standing at 32 cent.
Small Lot of Hops Selling.
The hop market was active yesterday,
most of the Portland and Salem dealers op
erating, but the lots changing hands were

NSW YORK. Jan. 27. Price rose briskly
In today's i stock market In face of several
happenings that have been dreaded by the
rpeculatlve element for some time, thus pre
senting one of the apparent contradictions
which confuse observation of the course of
speculative markets. There v.-aa undoubt
edly large selling- on the short side of the
market last week, when rumors began to
gain circulation of an unfavorable turn in
the affairs of the National Bank of North
America and there was buying- by the shorts
to cover today with the announcement of a
receivership for that tlank In a profit-taking
movement. A short interest had aUo been
built . ud in anticipation of the announce
ment at Washington of the plans for a
Government suit to annul the Harrlman rail
road merger. The harmful effect of neither
of these events was as great as had been
apprehended, and no appreciable liquida
tion was Induced by them to help the
shorts in securing stocks to fill their short
contracts.
There was another kind of demand in
cited by the definite elimination of these
unfavorable factors from the market and
which was encouraged by the small effect
which they had on sentiment. The formu
lation of the rumors that have been cur
rent regarding the banking situation Into
the official announcement concerning the
Bank of North America caused a feeling
of relief and the whole situation was felt
to be bettered. Another influence in
strengthening confidence In the banking
situation as a whole. Is the prospect that by
next week the condition of the trust com
panies and state banks In New York will
be the subject of a weekly statement to the
State Banking Department and thus remove
once and for all the obscurity and uncer
tainty which have surrounded the actual
financial position in New York by reason
of the growing inadequacy of the Clears
Ins-House bank statement to reflect fully
the condition a a whole.
The flood of cash which U now flowing
into New York will also facilitate the estab
lishment of the reserves of trust compa
nies which are contemplated in bringing
those institutions into line with the gen
eral banking requirements. Today's state
ment of the united states Treasury opera
tions showed deposits in National banks
reduced -to $243,126,233, the reduction from
the maximum amount of the deposits after
the panic having reached $16,8ttS,036. These
two movements tend to take ud the slack
In the money supplies and to avert an out
ward movement of gold. The heavy re
demptions thus far this month have reached
the sum of s31.!W1.001 and deposits of law
ful money for retirement of circulation in
the same time amount to S6.Gyi.tt4. tor
eign exchange here continued to advance
today and bankers look for some outward
movement of gold, which is likely to be re
stricted by the limiting forces referred to.
The advance in Northern Facinc was an
Important sustaining influence and assertions
of a coming extra disbursement on mat
stock were revived. St. Paul was strong
in connection with reports of ranid prog
ress In the construction of its Pacific Coast
extension. A large grain movement In the
Northwest was a factor of stocks of all tne
railroads in that region. There was a vigor
ous rebound In American Smelting from
Its recent acute depression. Professional
profit-taking In the latter part of tne aaj
greatly reduced the extreme gains and th
closing tone was heavy. -
The bond market gave more empnatic
response to the growing abundance of loan
able funds than has yet seen apparent in
that department and the tone was fairly
buoyant. Total sales, par value, 56.158.00o.
United States 2s declined k per cent on
call.
