GREAT N AD I
Prune Holders Trying to Stim
ulate Trade.
LOWER OFFERS ON COAST
Oregon ItaliansGolng Into Consamp.
tion More Freely in the Kiisl,
but Prices Show 'o Im
provement Yet.
According to word received from the
Kaft, Oregon Italian prunes are beginning
to go Into consumption a little more freely,
but there is no improvement in prices.
Holders In this stale. It Is reported, are
seeking business In forward shipments on a
24 -cent bag basis, but though not much
stock remains, the demand Is light.
In California, the concessionary spirit is
mors marked and It has resulted In the
closing of some deals with Eastern buyers,
particularly In so-called outside fruit, but
there has not been enough business offered
to satisfy Belters, and they are reaching out
for more, though to got It they have to
make a deeper cut In prices. A little while
ago. In consideration of the strong statisti
cal situation, holders of prunes In the
f-nnta Clara Valley were disposed to hold
out for a 4c basis on the four sizes f. o. b.
Coast in bags, hut since then sales have
been made on 35e f. o. b. basis. At first
sellers were inclined to make that price on
the more plentiful sizes, but now it Is said
that anything, except 00s, which size ap
pears to be exhausted, can be had on that
basis and on a firm offer possibly a shade
less. Sales of one or two cars of Sonoma
fruit are reported at SVic f. o. b. bag basis
and some goods from other outside points
have sold on a S'ic f. o. b. basis.
It would appear that holders of prunes
aie willing to make concessions now In
order to stimulate buying, the belief being
that once Jobbers' come Into the market
there will be an immediate Improvement
in the situation.
OREGON HOP MARKET STAGNANT.
No Demand for Spot Goods or Contracts.
Conditions in the East.
The hop market has again flattened out
and no business In spot goods or contracts
is reported. The demand for contracts has
been lighter than usual this season and
in view of the prohibition agitation, dealers
tlnd it almost impossible to Interest brewers
in term business at the present time. The
export demand seems to have been satis
fled temoorarily.
.Market comll lions in the New Tork Mip
sections are reported by papers of that
state:
Continued buying at former prices tells
the tale on our local market. There is no
perceptible change In tho demand for the
hops or the price paid whenever they can
be secured. The weaker feeling reported in
other places has not been felt here, and
while there is not a brisk trade there is
something doing all the time. Waterville
Times
Within the past week there has been con
siderable stir In the local hop market and
Borst & Hermann have purchased something
like 300 bales of hops at prices ranging from
7 to 12 cents. T. B. Dornett. of Coblesklll.
purchased about 200 bales, paying from 10
to cents. Mlddleburg News.
The local market has been rather Quiet
the past week. Only the lower quality of
hops now remain in growers' hands, and
they are balng gradually disposed of at
prices ranging from 9 to 12 cents. Coopers
town Journal.
FIRMER FEELING JN. WHEAT MARKET.
No New Developments (Ue Export Flour
Trade.
The sharp advance yesterday in foreign
and Eastern wheat markets is encourag
ing to holders here, but has not yet re
sulted in any advance In local prices, and
trading in the Northwest continues light.
Tho other cereals are also dull.
Beyond the recent sales of flour to North
China and Siberia, no new business ox an
export nature has developed. Advices from
Sf.uth China ports and Japan offer no en
couragement for hope of an early resump
tion of business. Hongkong dealers at last
accounts were very liberally stocked. The
dullness of the Japanese market appears
to be largely the result of financial con
ditions in the Island, as their purchases of
both flour and wheat this season have been
much smaller than usual.
CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES HIGHER.
Jersey Inland Celery Among the Arrivals
Apples From Hood River,
Among the produce receipts on the street
were a car of cauliflower and a mixed car
of vegetables, the latter including Jersey
Island celery, which was quoted firm at
$4.75. Small California vegetables of all
kinds were firm and most of them higher.
Local hothouse lettuce is a drug on th
market. A car of sweet potatoes, said to
be the best of the season, is selling.
Four cars of oranges came in. for which
the demand was fair. Among the arplt
receipts was a shipment of Newtowns, Red
Cheeks and Ortleys from Hood River, quoted
at $3 to $5. Cheaper grades of apples wet
in good suppy.

Eggs Are Down Again.
Egg quotations were dropped another cent
by some of the Frqnt-street handlers yester
day, prices quoted on the street being 19
to 20 cents. The little city business was
mostly done around 20 cents, but the lowet
figure was necessary to secure outside trade.
Poultry receipts were light, the demand
small, and prices -were unchanged.
The butter market was steady and fairly
active at last week's prices.

Onion Market Easier.
Owing to the lateness o the season and
the fact that a shipment of Japaneseonion
is due at Seattle today, some holders of
Oregon onions are showing less firmness
than they did and are now willing to meet
buyers on more equal terms. Several deals
were carried through yesterday at a price

Stock Trading Lifeless at New
York.
SPECULATORS ARE WAITING
They Want to See Kvidenccs, of an
Actual Revival of Industrial
Activity Before Making
Commitments.
NEW TORK. Feb. 24. There was hardly
enough motive power In the stock market to
day to cause any defined current in the
price movement. Only about half a dozen
stocks were traded In to the extent off more
than a few tiundred shfircs. Contending
parties among the room traders made the
varying fluctuations in these few stocks. As
for any outside interest in the market,
either in the way of speculative ventures,
investment demand, or of marketing of hold
ings, the situation was one of profound ne
glect. The speculative attitude evidently is one
of waiting for developments. The change
in conditions, whether In the country's trade
for investment. Is ricnecterl to revive the
action of the securities market. Sentiment
is not wholly pessimistic in the financial
district in that there is a hopefulness preva
lent that the limit of actual contraction
in business has been touched. The arrest
of the heavy accumulation of idle freight
cars, resumption in some directions of
work by idle factories, a better showing of
bank clearings compared with last year's
levels than for a time and other Indexes
are regarded as evidence of check to the
contraction. But of actual revival of indus
try there is not yet sufficient sign to prompt
any speculative commitments looking to
higher values. Fear of a- resumption at
intervals and in special securities of the
kind of forced liquidation which spotted
last woek's market is an additional deter
rent. The covering of shorts in the mar
ket preliminary to last week's holiday
seemed to exhaust the outstanding open ac
counts in the market.
Efforts were made to extend the upward
movement frnn this cause today. The ef
fort was conVncd to the coppers. Reading
and the Pacifies. The movement in the
coppers was hampered by a renewed decline
in price of copper w-arrants in the London
market and by discouraging reports from
the trade as to accumulation of stocks and
continued sluggishness of demand. There
were persistent reports also of instability
In the Iron market, although explanations
w-ere offered on behalf of the principal pro
ducers that cutting of prices was confined
to smaller Interests and to an amount of
sales that made a negligible quantity. The
United States Steel stocks, however, were
somewhat affected by the reports and their
depression interrupted the slow advance In
other stocks.
Railroad traffic officials had little change
in conditions to report. Slight Increases
in movements of merchandise In less than
carload lots were contrasted with a falling
on in the grain movement, the decline In
prices of grain leading apparently to less
ened offerings. A sharp rebound In wheat
prices also was the result of this. A snow
storm, while Interrupting traffic to some ex
tent, was considered beneficial to wheat
crop prospects by providing a covering for
the Winter-sown grain.
London talked of a probable coming re
duction in the Bank of England discount
rate and the private discount rate declined
at Berlin, while Paris talks of the present
capital situation there as one of redund
ancy. There were cable .reports of the
presence in foreign centers of agents seek
ing to find a market for intended new
American corporation securities. Arbitrage
brokers for foreign commission houses, how
ever, sold stocks on balance in this mar
ket. Sterling exchange rates, nevertheless,
receded considerably below last week's level.
The subtreasury has taken up some large
sums from the money market in the new
banking week and the explanation is made
that return of Government deposits has been
made by some of the bankB. voluntarily, on
account of the cheapness - of money at the
present time. New York banks also are
making payments to the subtreasury on be
half of Interior correspondents for retire
ment of circulation.
Bonds were heavy and duJ4. Total sales,
j.ar value, $2,0S0,000. .United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

Owing to the fact that mall for the
war vessels In the Pacific is being in
cluded with mail for San Francisco,
thereby causing inconvenience and delay,
Instructions have been issued by the
Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service at San Francisco that all malls
addressed to naval vessels .in the Pacific
must be Included with mail for the State
of California, but railway postofflces are
to make up matter for war vessels in
separate packages and sacks and label
the same "Pacific Station, via San Fran
cisco, Cal." As the volume of this mail
will greatly Increase as the fleet ap
proaches San Francisco, It is very neces
sary that proper preparation of the same
should receive particular attention.
Streetcar Company Denies Blame.
The Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company has Hied an answer to the dam
age suit of James Wilson, in the Circuit
Court. It says Wilson could have waited
for the next car when he saw the west
bound Morrison-street car was crowded.
Instead of doing so, he stood on the bot
tom step. The answer says that when
the car reached Chapman street a num
ber of Multnomah athletes rushed out
and tried to alight. The car was In mo
tion. Wilson was crowded off the step,
being unable to hold to the brass han
dles. The company asserts that it is
not to blame for Wilson's injuries.

ALL MARKETS GOOD
Wheat Advances in Eastern
and Foreign Exchanges.
SHARP GAIN AT CHICAGO
Expectation of Decreased Shipments
From Argentina the Loading
Bullish Factor American Vis
ible Shows Bis lteduction.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.- Wheat opened ac
tive and strong because of an advance of
more than 2 pence at Liverpool, which was
based upon the expectation of decreased
shipments from Argentina. A large de
crease in the visible supply steadied the
market at the advance. A reaction set In
later because prices for cash wheat did
not follow the advance. Selling pressure
was not heavy, however, at any time during
the day. The foreign statistics were bearish
and Included an increase of 4,208.000 bush
els in the visible Bupply of breadstuffs on
ocean passage, bringing, tha total to 54,
624,000 bushels, the greatest quantity ever
recorded. The strength of the market
abroad, however, offset ail bearish Influ
ences. The close was strong. May wheat
opened Te5llo higher at 94149414c, sold
between 9H951ic and closed at 94c,
114 c higher.
Corn was firm at the opening, partly in
sympathy with wheat and also because of
small local receipts and unsettled weather
in the corn belt. Later prices eased off some
what on offerings of cash corn and the ex
pectation of increased deliveries within a
few days. The close was steady. May
closed unchanged at 60Hc.
December deliveries of oat were easy to
day, while the May option showed con
siderable strength. The market was largely
Influenced by wheat and corn, but the ex
pectation of large deliveries caused an
easier tone at the close. May closed at
52i52ic.
Provisions were firm all day. despite a
larger run of hogs here and at "Western
packing centers offerings -were limited and
shorts were good buyers. May pork closed
714 c higher, lard was up 5e and ribs were
214c higher. '

VEHICLE MEASURE VETOED
Council May Pass Iiicens Ordi
nance Over Lane's Head.
Mayor Lane yesterday vetoed the ve
hicle tax ordinance, which was passed at
the last session of the Council. Tomor
row afternoon, when the Council assem
bles, a fight to pass the ordinance over
his veto will take place, with Council
man Menefee, its author, leading for its
passage, and Councilman Kellaher lead
ing the opposition. It was freely pre
dicted after its passage that the Mayor
would veto the measure.
Mayor Lane, In vetoing the ordinance,
said:
To the Honorable City Council Gentlemen:
X hereby return ordinance No. 17.414 Dot ap
proved. This Is an ordinance entitled an or
dinance to license vehicle and repealing
ordinance No. 13,338, an ordinance to license
vehlclea.
In respect to this ordinance I have to say
that many objections have been urged
against It by different persons.
It Is not clear if lt became a law that
lt would not operate to fix a tax upon the
wagons of all farmers coming Into this city
to sell their produce, a condition of affairs
which would work. & great hardship to them
and to the city as well.
It exempts fn specific terms all 'vehicles1
used for pleasure only upon the on hand,
while upon the other hand It fixes a direct
tax upon every person who usee a vehicle
of any sort as a means to gain a livelihood
for himself and family, which In itself is
enough to condemn It. For these and other
reasons which are obvious I return the or
dinance not approved. Respect fuly,
HARRY LAN HI Mayor.
