T UP A CENT.
Much Firmer Feeling in the
Local Market.
BUT TRADE STILL LIGHT
farmers Not Disposed to Sell, Kither
on a -Decline or an Advance.
Interior Stocks Are in
Strong Hands.
There Is a. distinctly firmer feeling pre
vailing fn tlia wheat market. Local buyers
yesterday advanced their prices one. cent ail
around, quoting-, Muestem at 84 cents and
club at 83 cents on track here. Some busi
ness at these prlcea was reported, but the
volume of trade was light. The European
demand Is still backward and until the In
quiry Improves, buying will not be general
in the Paclflc Northwest. The long period
of Inactivity and declining prices has not
had a weakening effect on growers and
at no time -were- offerings freely made. Even
the near approach, of the dote for tax col
lecting has failed to put -wheat on the mar
ket, as has been the case In previous sea
sons, and It Is evident that what wheat re
mains la the country Is in strong hands.
The foreign markets were In steady trim
yesterday, but prices at Chicago made a
clean Jump of nearly 3 centa over the
opening- quotations, and this Is likely to be
reflected in higher prices at Uverpool to
day. As the situation Is viewed by local
traders, the steady decrease In Argentine
shipments, expected from now on, can only
have a bullish effect on values, which will
be further strengthened by the falling off
In exports from the United States and
Canada. What the gain in prices will be,
when the upward movement once sets In In
earnest. Is & question. The statistical posi
tion of the market Is exceedingly strong,
but the fact must bo borne in mind that
prices are already at a very high level.
HOP TRADE OF SMALL PROPORTIONS.
A little Business Doing on Foreign Ac
count -London Trade Report.
A few lots of hops are changing hande every
day, but the market Is by no means active.
Orders from the EaM are scarce and most of
the business being done is on export account.
Oscar Weldner & Co. have bought the Strue
lot of 42 bale at Buttevllle at 3 cents. T.
A. Rlggs, of Monmouth, has secured the fol
lowing lots in the Independence flection for
London: Alva Craven, 100 bales; Sloper Bros.,
bales; D. N. Taylor. 407 bales; W. H.
Murphy, 61 bales, and John Cooper, 65 bales.
The la teat circulars of the English hop
trade follow:
Wild, Neame & Co.. London Since our last
report there has been a fair business doing
in the bee descriptions on offer at current
rates. Other grade continue to be neglected.
W. H. & H. Le May. London The inquiry
continues for all classes of copper hops, and
several lots have changed hands during the
week, the low prices now ruling for euch
warranting buyers fully covering all their
requirements.
Manger & Henley, London There Is &
steady demand for all sound, useful grades,
which are now getting into a much smaller
compaes. Prices remain steady.
J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester Business
continues on verv moderate lines, sales beinr
almost confined to the usoful medium quail- '
ties, which change hands at about recent
prices. Inferior samples find little favor with
consumers, and holders are not anxious to
prees sales, as the rates obtainable baruly
cover picking, curing and market expenses.
WESTERN WOOL FN EASTERN MARTS
Boston Reports Very Little Doing In Ore
gons Some Sales of Idaho Wool.
Mail advices from Boston are of very
small transactions In Oregon wools, aside
from a fair movement in, low valley on the
scoured basis of 40 cents. Quotations are
22 23a for No. 1, 2526c for No. 2 and
21 22C for No. 8- The small offerings of
fine staple Eastern are not attracting the
attention of consumers. No. 1 Is quoted at
22(S23c.
The purchases of territory wools In Boston
have been swelled by the operations of one
large consumer, involving between 300,000
and 400,000 pounds of Idaho wool, under
stood to be at 20c, the scoured cost being
estimated at 66 57c. Aside from this fea
ture the market has been qulet, with sales
confined to moderate parcels of about all
grades, low grades figuring perhaps more
conspicuously In the transactions than for
merly. About 125.000 pounds half-blood and
three-eighths have changed hands on the
scoured basis of about 6ic for the former
and 55c for tho latter. The producers of the
best class of woolens have been buying fine
wools of the better order on the basis of
tX62c, and fine medium at a cost of 55
57c. It Is reported that 300,000 pounds of
Wyoming fine medium have been trans
ferred, the terms being private. Montana
clothing -wools are held at 21 23c and sell
ing for about a cent less. Sales of average
quality low territory have been made at
454Sc, clean.
STEADY MARKET FOR OREGON ONIONS
Fresh Produce of All Kinds Is in Strong
Demand.
The placing of a shipment of new Japan
ese onions on the Puget Sound markets ha
had no effect on onion prices here. With
firmer advice's from California, the local mar
ket Is In a very steady position. The sale of
a few cars at $2.25 was reported yesterday.
While some of the growers are showing a
willingness to unload their stocks, the others
are holding firmly.
The potato market is quiet and steady.
There was a good demand for fresh produce
of all kinds yesterday. Two cars of oranges
and one car of sweet potatoes, made np the
heavy receipts. A small shipment of Mexi
can tomatoes was received and they were
quoted at $3.&0 per crate.
SUPPLY OF POULTRY IS INADEQUATE
Higher Prices Obtained on Light Receipts,
Butter Steady.
The unusually light arrivals of poultry and
a flr.st-clae Inquiry, especially for chickens,
have again put prices up. Fat hens readily
sold at 14 cents yesterday and a good pre
mium was paid for small springs. Ducks
were also in demand and were very scarce.
The egg market was weak and prices were
reported to be steadily sagging. Stocks on
Front treet, however, are not excessive, but
Jobbers give them no chance to accumulate.
The butter market is bteady to firm, as
the daily receipts clean up promptly.

Better Reports From Steel Trade

Railway Earnings Reports
Show Xo Improvement.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27. Conditions in the
stock market showed no Improvement today
and it -was the general comment that tho
day of small things has arrived. Dealings
were not only at a low stage, but the leth
argy of the price movement was more pro
nounced, detracting from the ability of the
room traders to scalo their fractional
profits In the course of the day. The sales
for the day were slightly in excess of the
record low level of one day last year, but
with that exception the daily business at
the stock exchange was less than lias been
done on any one day In over three years.
So far as any general condition was re
flected In the day's sluggish market, that
in the metal trade was of most influence.
Authorities were agreed in assigning some
Improvement to the steel trade, particular
ly to the placing of steel rail orders by the
railroads from which some re -employment
of labor and trade is hoped for. The re
ported increase in rolling capacity of the
United States Steel Corporation was re
garded as of cheering Import. The stocks
of the corporation were as little affected
by "this favorable news as they have been
by other favorable happenings. While the
United States Steel stocks have given signs
of being "pegged." their action today did
not inOicate a disposition to advance the
prices. The coppers were more responsive
to various favorable reports that were cur
rent during the day. Large sales of metal
were said to have been effected and the
surplus stocks largely worked off in th at
way. Rumors were in circulation to the
effect that there was to be a resumption
of work In the Butte copper properties, but
they were without foundation. The circu
lation of statements of that kind indicate
the professional character of the market.
The appointment of a receiver for a sub
sidiary Gould road in Texas had some de
pressing effect on sentiment, notwithstand
ing vigorous assertions of tbe purely local
causes of the incident having to do with
Texas legislation.
There was an Imnresslon In the stock
market that chances were increasing for
enactment of a currency measure at Wash
ington, and this had. some effect in sus
talnnig stocks. Railroad earnings reported
showed no marked change In the unfavor
able conditions for some time prevailing.
This was a special Influence on New York
Central, which was a heavy spot in the
market.
The return of the great foreign banks
showed an expansion of their outstanding
credits and money rates abroad were af
fected In consequence. Time money rates
here for the loncer periods were higher.
The slight movements in the stock market
were not held with any constancy.
Bonds were irregular.' Total sales, par
value, $2,820,000 United States 4s regis
tered advanced per cent on call.

HAVE NEW BUNCO GAME
Swindlers Pose as Collectors of Light
Bills.
Bunco men have appeared in Portland
with an entirely new game. The scheme
Is to enter a business man's office and at
tempt to collect .the electric light or gas
bill after the pretended representatives
of the lighting companies have made an
examination of the meters.
Two men, purporting to be collectors
for the Portland Light & Power Company,
entered the office of Jaynes, Johnson &
Co., 211 Fourth street, yesterday, and
looked at the meter in the office, after
which they announced the bill was $7.
The proprietors of the place demurred
and said they would not pay bills unless
submitted in the regular way. The sup
posed collectors left the place and the
men in the office, becoming suspicious.
called at offices of the lighting company
at First and Alder streets later in the day
and related the incident, asking if the
system of submitting monthly statements
had been changed.
It was found that the two men did not
represent the company in any way, and
it is suspected that the two are working
their game in other parts of the city.
All patrons are warned by the lighting
company that they should not give money
under any circumstances to persons not
properly authorized to receive.it.

who had gone home Wednesday night
leaving the faucet running.
Dan McAllen was unable yesterday
to estimate the loss, but said tliat lt
would likely be several thousand dol

etc The insurance adjusters are now
at work estimating- the damage.

Wheat Prices Go Soaring in
Chicago Market.
OVER THREE CENTS GAIN
t
Strong Cash Demand and Light Re
ceipts Are the Strengthening
Factorsw-Reports of Hessian
Fly in the Southwest.
CHICAGO. Feb. 27. The wheat market
opened weak because of a decline of more
than .one penny at Liverpool. Before the
end of the first 15 minutes of trading, how
ever, sentiment had changed to the bull
side and throughout the remainder of the
day the market showed unusual strength.
The domestic situation was the chief bull
ish Influence. Primary receipts are still
running very light, the total arrivals to
day being 831.000 bushels, against 631.000
bushels on the same day last year. The
demand for cash wheat here and at out'
side markets was strong, several reports
being received from the southwest telling
of damage by the Hessian fly. Demand
was general with shorts and prominent
bulls leading in the buying. The market
closed strong near the highest point. May
opened 14c to 149'c lower at 95c to
9514 c advanced to 98 88 14 c. and closed
at 98 c.
The com market was strong all day on
active demand by shorts and commission
houses. The factors responsible for the
brisk demand were small receipts. large
clearances, talk of small farm reserves and
the sham advance In wheat. The close
was strong. May opened He lower to 14c
higher at 6014c to 6114c, advanced to 62c
and closed at 61 c.
Oats were strong because of the advance
In wheat and corn. Trade was light. May
opened unchanged to c lower at 5214c to
03c, advanced to 53 o and closed there.
Provisions were firm desaite an easier
market for live hogs. The strength of
wheat and corn was the chief bullish In
fluence. At the close May pork was up
15c at $11.55. Lard was 10c higher at
$7.55. Ribs were 101214c higher at S6.53.
