THE HORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1903. 17 LONDON FUR SALES Prices Are Compared With Last Year's. MANY LIMES UNCHANGED Lower Range of Values la Predicted at the March Sales, Owing to ' the Lighter American Demand. A report of th mid-winter fur sale in Txindnn has been received by Herman Metzr, of this city, and local prices on furs are made to conform to the values fixed there. The prices established at the London sales of last March were repeated on raccoon, civet cat, marten, white fox, sliver fox, otter, bear and wolf. Muskrat old 20 per cent higher than in January of last year, and squirrel, gray fox and cros fox 20 per cent higher than lat Marh. Lynx advanced 15 per cent over the March sales and skunk and badger 10 per ceAt. The declines were equally numerous, the greatest being on wolverine, which sold 20 per cent under the price last March. There was a reduction pf 15 per cent on the March price of fisher. Red fox, mink, wild cat and house cat were 10 per cent under the March figures, while beaver declined 5 per cent from the price realized at the January, 1007. sale. Mr. Met2ger said yesterday of the sit uation: "While the prices realized at the Jan uary sales In London are seemingly not much lower, the American demand, owing to the financial depression, has been very slow, and lower prices are predicted for the March sales." POOR OUTLOOK FOB CASCARA BARK PeI Is Likely to Be Largely Increased This Year. No hopes are held out by buyers for an early resumption of interest In eascara bark. The Eastern market is lifeless and all offers made bring back the reply that manufac turers are supplied for a considerable time. It was expected that last Fall the demand would absorb considerable of the stock held on the Coast, but the money stringency In the East prevented manufacturers from stocking up. Then came the financial flurry, which seemed to have totally destroyed 'any demand whatever. The outlook does not seem very promising for anything but low prices to prevail, owing to the cheapness of labor, which will have a tendency to over stock the market again by the addition of new bark to the stock of old bark on the Coast. Oregon grape root was very scarce in the Fall, but the supply has since been In creased, the slackness of work In other lines setting many people to work digging this commodity and prices are now largely nominal. There Is a good local demand for Oregon fir balsam when put up In first-class clean condition. . HOPS ARE BULL AND WEAKER. Growers Anxious to Sell and Demand Xm Slow. The hop market was exceedingly slow yesterday and the feeling was weak. A num ber of good lots are offering on the mar ket at 5 cents without takers. The following English trade reports were re'eei ved yesterday : Wild, Neame & Co., London Trade Is again rather quiet. Buyers show little Inter est beyond covering their actual require ments. Values are unchanged. Manger & Henley, London There Is a fair amount of business doing at about the same rates, which are very tempting to con sumers. W. H. & H. Le May. London. S. E. The low prices that are being accepted to clear out growths continue to attract the atten tion of consumers and several Important lots have been taken. Occasionally choice hops are Inquired for, when fairly decent prices are obtained for selected parcels. J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester Trade remains quiet and the small consumptive demand montly met out of merchants stocks, the quantity of growers' hops pass ing the public scales being quite nominal. Good co lory samples are scarce and firmly held. OREGON ONION MARKET FIRMER Strong Demand From the So nth and Growers Are Not Pressing Sales. A firm tone prevails in the onion market and more sales at J 2.50, the price asked by growers, are reported while the Northern demand Is slow, as the markets there are well stocked at present, the Inquiry from the South Is good and is likely to continue o, for only .a limited quantity of onions are in transit. Stocks in Oregon are getting in small compass and only at a few points can carload lots be secured. An Invasion of Eastern onions is no longer feared and the matter proves to have been more of a scare than anything else As an experiment. It is believed to have been an unprofitable one xro the persons concerned. One car reached the Sound last Friday and one or two more cars may come along, but not enough to hurt. Very few cars of East ern onions have been put on the California market, and what were sold there were of a quality that did not put them In compe tition with Oregon onions. GOOD SUPPLY OF GREEN PRODUCE Front Street Stocks of Vegetables and Fruit Replenished. Trade was of excellent proportions In the vegetable and fruit line yesterday, and the Jobbers had a plentiful supply to work on. The arrivals, some of which were due the day before, were two rare of mixed vege tables, one car of celery, two cars of oranges and three cars of bananas. The vegetable receipts were largely made up of cabbage and cauliflower. Celery was in strong demand. jSweet potatoes are about cleaned up on the street. Of the bananas that came In yesterday two cars were green and In the other a few were turning. The feature of the fruit market Is the good demand for oranges, but apples also sell well. NO SNAP TO THE POULTRY MARKET. Egff Prices Are Held Up by the Demand Fr-am Alaska. There were good arrivals of poultry yester day, but the demand was not particularly brisk, though previous prices were maintained. Northern orders for eggs continue to be filled ana tnese keep the market In steady trim. The Sound buyers, however, are not so ready to pay the current prices as they were. The Immediate future of the market, therefore, largely depends on the attitude of the North ern purchasers. The butter market is steady, with nothing in sight to Indicate a change In prices soon. With the city creameries, the supply and de mand Is about equal, and on Front street the better grades move freely. PORTLAND QUOTATIONS. Vegetables, Fruit. Ete.

LIFTED BY SHORTS Covering Operations Send Stock Prices Upward.. BUT GAINS ARE NOT HELD Smelting and the Goulds TTnder Selling Pressure Interest In the Coming Bids on New York City Bonds. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. The early stock mar ket today presented graphic evidence that an Important proportion of the conspicuous sell ing which carried prices downward on Mon day and again in the closing dealings on Tues day, must have been rather reckleea opera tion on the short side of the market. "When those sellers felt impelled to cover their con tracts today, they found a scarcity of stocks offering and a rather mercurial upehoot of prices resulted. Almost equally striking was the relaxed tone of the market when the needs of the uncovered bears had been satisfied. The Inference pointed to Is that while the genuine demand for stocks for the present Is light, the supply offering In liquidation Is also scanty. At occasional Intervals there are ealea tn the market of special stocks that look like liquidation and this is attributed to some clearing up of loans in connection with adjust ment of banking affairs holding over from the troubled period of last Fall. With, this ex ception, there does not appear any Important selling, such ao would suggest a general in clination among owners to reduce their hold ings of stocks. Very positive assertions on Monday that the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific dividends would be reduced accompanied the free selling of those stocks. The declaration of dividends on these stocks today at unchanged rates ac cordingly caught an Important short Interest uncovered, and they were foremost In the ad vancing tendency. The coalers also were con spicuous. Not a great deal of activity charac terized the rise, and the subsequent sag was preceded by a period of hesitation and dull ness. Unsettling factors) were the pressure on American Smelting and violent breaks in sev eral of the Gould stocks with no apparent sup port. Speculative operations in American Smelting are large at all times and the mo tives difficult to trace, but importance was at tached to reports today of the retirement of a conspicuous engineer from the service of the controlling Interests in this company. The weakness of the Gould stocks caused the re vival of former reports of projects for new financing by those companies. The day's de velopments bearing on the general situation were not important. Reports of some addi tional mill resumptions also were made a fea ture. - A fall in the price of copper, both here and in London, was an Incident of the day that did not conduce to holding prices of se curities. There were operations1 in the outside market today in the New York City "when and as Issued" bonds at quotations from 1.04 to 1.04, which is higher thaH the average price which bond experts expect to eee the bonds sell for. A marked stimulation of investment demand In general. It is believed, will depend on a figure for the New York City bonds higher 'than 1.03. That the bonds will be abundantly subscribed for la taken for granted, but more attention Is being paid to the price they will bring. There was no revival of strength In the later stock market. Bonds were irregular. Total . sales, par value, $2,092,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Private Wires Rooms 201 to 204, CLEAR ISSUE II P.UHIQN REPUBLICANS DECIDED AS TO STATEMENT NO. 1. Two Lists of Candidates to Be Voted for at Primaries to Name Legis lative Nominees. SALEM, Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) Indi cations are that opponents of Statement No. 1 will have clear sailing in the pri maries to be held in Marion County three weeks hence, and that they will also have undisputed control of the convention to be held a week later. Advocates of State ment No. 1 express an Intention not to participate In the convention or prelim inary primaries. That Is the natural at titude of friends of Statement No. 1, for they take the view that no convention Is necessary or proper for the purpose of nominating or Indorsing legislative candi dates. Should there be a general move ment for a state convention for the pur pose of nominating candidates for Presi dential electors and choosing delegates to the National convention, advocates of Statement No. 1 may participate in the convention to that extent, but, according to leaders on that side of the issue, they will not recognize the right of a county convention to Indorse Legislative candi dates. It is therefore quite certain that the convention will Indorse for the Legisla ture five candidates who are unalterably opposed to Statement No. 1. It Is also certain, according to Alonzo Gesner, the spokesman for the Statement No. 1 peo ple, that there will also be presented In the direct primary election a list of five Legislative candidates who will sign Statement No. 1, and the issue will thus be clearly drawn and fought out. The race for Indorsement will be on in earnest during the week between March 7, when delegates will be chosen, and March 14, when the convention will bo held.

A programme committee was appointed for the next meeting, consisting of Dr. Paine, J. I. Jones, B. L. Bogart, F. M. Wilkins and M. Svarverud. Enthusiasm ran- high. Dr. Kuykendall, Dr. Paine, Colonel Mercer and W. G. Griffin made stirring speeches, principally against State ment No. 1. M. Svarverud spoke for Statement No. 1, but was almost alone. After the speeches were over, an in vitation was extended for those present to Blgrx up as members of the Lane County Republican Club, and nearly every man signed, including some for mer Democrats. George S. Shepherd's Platform. SALEM, Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) George S. Shepherd, of Portland, today filed notice of a candidacy for Republican nomination for Congress In the Second District.

DOGS. WORRY ASSESSORS New Problem In- Placing Valuation on Oregon Canines. ALBANY. Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) How to assess dogs Is a problem now worrying assessors of this part of the state. In accordance with the act of the last Legis lature, declaring dogs to be personaNprop erty, the assessors are required to list them on the tax roll this year and the way to classify, describe and value them Is causing an extra expenditure of thought and Is adding to the manifold burdens of the assessors. County Assessor D. B. McKntght, of Linn County, Is col laborating with the makers of tax rolls of adjoining counties on the problem. The main difficulty will be In describ ing adequately this new class of property. "Rover, Township 12 South, Range 3 West." or "Tiger, Lot 2, Block 68, Al bany," are suggested .forms. Or John Jones may be assessed with "one black water spaniel," or Mrs. Smith with "one bow-legged bulldog. . Dogs range in value from 10 cents to J2B0, and lt Is expected the value win re lower about the first of March than at any other period of the year. The law under which the assessors are obligated to place dogs on the tax rolls is known as the shortest act ever passed bv an Oregon Legislature. It was H. B. 271 at the session of 1907 and reads as fol lows: "Be it enacted by the people of the State of Oregon: Section 1. Dogs are hereby declared to be personal property."
