GRQWER5HQLDFIRM
Onion Men See Better Prices
Ahead.
BUYING AT A STANDSTILL
Future or tlio Market Depends on
Weather Conditions In the East.
New Crop Onions Not
a Factor Yet.
Onion buylnp has come to a stop in this,
territory. On the bal of the San Francisco
market, buyer cannot pay over $2.10 and
lee a profit, and aa this "sure Is out of
question with the growers, nothing Is being
done. The 30 odd cars left in Oregon are
widely scattered thoughout the onion sec
tions and in no case are Individual holdings
large. Therefor the growers run little risk
In holding and may profit much If circum
stances favor them. The presence of Eastern
onions on the Coast is the only disturbing
factor. The recent rejection of this class
of goods has discouraged the movement
somewhat and a very slight advance in the
Eastern market would check the movement
entirely. Such an advance, however, depends
largely on weather conditions in that ter
ritory. A change to higher temperature
would speedily bring it about.
If onion prices In the East are raised 10
or 15 cents, and some buyers look for such
a change, the markets on this Coast would
be at the mercy of the Oregon growers as
soon as the present Eastern stocks are ex
hausted. The California trade is in a posi
tion now to respond readily to such a situa
tion, but In the North there are a good
many Eastern onions on hand. Seattle has
received ten cars, of which two were re
jected and It will take some time to work
these off. There will be no new California
onions on the market before the tmlddle of
March. As for Texas Bermudas, advices
received yesterday .said It would be March
IS or April 1 before they could start shipping
to the Pacific Northwest. These new onions
will be high in price and will have little
effect on the general market. The only
thing the Oregon growers have to fear la
the Incoming Japanese onions, and what
their quality will be on arrjval Is unknown.
COAST HOP MARKET STAGNANT.
No Demand Now From the East or From
Europe.
There is no life In the hop market at pres
ent. The Eastern demand has almost en
tirely ceased and nothing Is doing on ex
port account. The best hops left In the
state are offering at 5 cents with no takers.
The same condition prevails in California
where choice 1907s are freely offered at S
cents and olds In abundance at Hi cents.
In Washington there is absolutely no mar
ket, old traders say they never saw a time
when things .were so dead.
In the meantime the growers are prepar
ing to raise another bumper crop. Cultiva
tion is under way in many sections. Whether
all the hops grown will be picked, however,
is another question. Picking money was
hard to get last year, and will doubtless be
harder to get this year. It la understood the
banks will not take hops as collateral, and
It remains to be seen whether the farmers
will be willing to mortgage their lands to
produce what may be an unprofitable crop.
Growers are making efforts to contract on a
10-cent basis but find little encouragement.
BUTTER FIRMER OS FRONT STREET
Several Country Brands Are Advanced.
Eggs 8eU Leaver.
While some of the city creamerymen are
looking for lower prices In the near future.
Front street has suddenly taken on a
stirrer tone. Several of the best brands of
Outside creamery butter, which have been
selling at 70 cents, were advanced to 75
cents and another Valley brand was raised
from 60 to 70 cents. This advance la due to
lighter stocks on the street.
Another half-cent drop was noted in the
egg market. Some Puget Sound houses, in
reply to offers, said they were securing sup
plies at San Francisco under the Portland
quotations.
There was a good Inquiry for chickens and
the light receipts were readily disposed of at
unchanged prices. Other kinds of poultry
.wers In fair demand.
RICE MARKETS ARB ADVANCING.
Only Three Months' Supply Is Left In the
South.
From the bet information received by
the trade, stocks of rice in the South are
sufficient only for three months' consump
tion. The mllls are turning; down offers from
brokers without exception. Samples coming
forward show a steady advance In values,
and the mills will not accept offers at less
than the Hat. Good grades of Japan seed
rk-e in the South are worth 4 cents and
Honduras head rice Is also very firm, in
fact, all grades show an upward tendency.
As the new crop will not be in until No
vember, It is evident there will have to bo
large Importations from Japan la the mean
time. Veoistaiu.es from walla walla
Seattle Anxious to Consign Lettuce Ad
vance in Celery.
Among the vegetable arrivals yesterday
ere new spinach and green onions from
Walla Walla. The former sold at $1.25 per
crate and the latter at 40 cents per dozen.
Seattle dealers are anxious to ship or con
sign hothouse lettuce here, but the local
market is overstocked. Celery is quoted firm
at 94.75 for the beat. Another car arrived
from tho fcouth yesterday, also a car of
sweet potatoes.
Ono car of oranges was all tlfe fruit re
ceived in the carlot line. Bananas are about
cleaned up. Apples are In good supply and
sell fairly well.

STOCKS GOING UP
Several Factors Add to the
Strength of the Market.
SHORTS RUSH TO COVER
Decision in Illinois Central Case
.Lifts the Harrlmun Issues Cop
per Industrials Are Strong.
Expect Good Bank Statement.
NEW YORK,. Feb. -20. It was only -after
considerable hesitation and several false
starts that prices moved decisively upwards
in today's stock market. The early tone was
unsettled and irregular, and there was re
newed realizing at the close.
Advocates of higher prices seemed to be
In dread that some outbreak of special llqui
datlon might meet them, as was encount
ered yesterday In the Gould stocks and the
Interborough Metropolitan bonds, and which
mads the upward movement abortive before
the end of the day. But no such obstacle in
tervened today, and the turn against the
short Interest was successfully 1 achieved,
the covering demand. Xrotn that element,
when it commenced to retreat, aiding ma
terially in advancing prices. The approach
of a Saturday holiday increased the dispo
sition of the bears to reduce their commit
ments. The one Item of news of any Importance
which might be assumed to offer new con
ditions was the decision of the question of
the right of the Harriman interests to Vote
their holdings of Illinois Central .stock,
which was contained In the opinion deliv
ered in the Illinois court. The outcome was
viewed In the financial district as a method
for the settlement of a disputa which has
been an unsettling. Influence In other quar
ters as much from the fact of being kept
open as from any questions at issue in the
case. There was but one sale of Illinois
Central stock Itself today, and that at a
decline of one point from the previous sale.
Union Pacific, In contrast, was bought heav
ily. Inferences were sought to be drawn of
a. bearing of this decision on the right of
Union Pacific to receive the Southern Pacific
dividends, which the B'ederaf Government
authorities seek to enjoin, although the Illi
nois Central suit hinges on a state law of
Illinois only.
The assumption of the large part played
by short covering In the advance was cor
roborated by the special strength shown by
some stocks regarding which developments
occurred which have been subjects of ex
pressed fears previously Baltimore & Ohio
has been weak at various times on reports
of new financing. Today's announcement of
the sale of $6,000,000 of one-year 5 per cent
notes, however, was followed by a vigorous
advance in the stock. This road also came
forward today ttmong the first with a state
ment of net earnings . for January which,
while they showed a decrease of $987,S59 -to
$1,012,575, compared with last year, were
apparently not so poor as the previous pro
fessional Belters of the Btock had feared.
tocks associated with the copper indus
try showed aggressive strength, in propor
tion to their recent acute weakness, point
ing to the same conclusion of repurchase of
stocks by bear operators. This group was
affected also by a strong rebound in the
London pries of copper, the first Interrup
tion to the downward course of that metal
which lias occurred In many days. Reports
of new arrangements for the selling agency
of some of the leading copper interests wers
interpreted as indications of the approach
ment of those interests to closer relations.
Assertions were in circulation, which could
not secure official sanction, pointing to an
Improvement In- the January net earnings
of the United States Steel Corporation over
the December showing.
The Substance of President's Roosevelt's
letter to the Commissioner of Labor, giving
Instructions for an investigation ot pro
posed wage reductions by railroads, was
known yesterday and was ground for some
of the short selling of stocks then and
added to today's requirements of the shorts.
Predictions of a strong weekly bank state
ment, which will be given out tomorrow,
were made, owing to the apparent gain of
between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 cash by
New York on the week's currency move
ment. The professionalism of the market
was Indicated by the disposition to take
profits late In the day.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$3,026,000. United States 2s registered ad
vanced , the 2s coupon and the 3s 4.

in the day and prices ranged slightly below
the closing figures of yesterday. Several
commission houses were moderate traders.
About noon the market became strong and
prices advanced lc from the low point of
the session. The upturn was caused by
small primary receipts and & good demand
by Minneapolis millers' for cash wheat. The
market lost much strength in the final half
hour because of the weakness of corn. The
close was about steady. May . opened a

93c. The close was at 92'i6U3c.
Corn was firm early in the day. because
of small local receipts, but later" the mar
ket became weak on general selling. Aside
from a moderate decline In provisions, there
was no apparent explanation for the weak
ness. May opened unchanged to c higher
at 0c to eoc. advanced to 809c and
then declined to CM He. The close was at
65c.
