L TO BE LOWER
Prospects Not as Good as
Last Year.
VIEWS OF THEO. BERNHEIM
MM Output Has Been Sharply Re
luced Unfavorable Opinion of
Oregon Valley Fleece Less
Demand for " Monalr.
Theodore Bernhelm, who returned yester
day from an extended trip through the
manufacturing sections of the Eastern
States, believes that woolgrowers will have
to accept lower prices this year than they
did last. According to Mr. Bernhelm, the
market Is now 3 to 4 cents lower than at
the close of the last buying season, and
the Indications do not point to Improve
ment. He said:
"I found half of the factories closed en
tirely and the others working on practically
half time. CertAfn classes of goods are'
neglected, especially caslmcres, but worsteds
and serges are In good demand.
"Stocks of wool are lying heavily on the
Boston market, particularly clothing wools
which cannot be moved. All the merchants
have large stocks, and to effect sales, big
cuts in prices have to be made. When wool
buying begins In Eastern Oregon this sea
son, prices will be fully 3 cents lower
than they were last year.
"I found Valley wools giving poor satis
faction in the East; In fact, they are run
ning coarBer from year to year. The mer
chants tlnd on opening the bales that the
fleeces have not been taken care of and the
wool Is generally full of tags. Much of It
being damp was discolored on transit. 'Some
of these valley wools cannot be used, except
as carpet wools. Formerly the Oregon valley
wools were all used for combings. The
farmers will have to look to It In the future
that the tags are kept out of the wools if
they want to find buyers.
The prospects are by no means bright
in the mohair market. Prices have not been
established yet, but from present indica
tions the market will be several cents lower
than it was last year. Many of the plush
mills are shut down and others working
only part time. One thing that kept the
mohair market up last year was the
Teddy Bear erase, and now that this fad
has about subsided, It wilt have effect pa
the market. Several ' large lots of last
year's mohair are lying unsold in the East
and cannot be disposed of within several
cents of what the buyers paid for them."
MAftilrtiLATIOX IN TICK HOP TRADE.
I'nscrnpuloti Tactics In Which Some of the
Smaller Buyers Engage.
Prices in the hon market are becoming
demoralized, owing to a new scheme of
manipulation on the Dart of some of the
buyers that does the trade no credit. By
means of repeated rejections some of the
buyers have been able to so weaken grow
ers in certain sections as to get hops far
below the market value. Their game is to
buy a lot of hops at a certain orice and
then reject the lot because of some alleged
defect, later sending along a confederate,
who goes through the same process, and
who Is probably followed by one or two
more. In the end the poor farmer is thor
oughly subdued and he sells his hops, which
may be worth 5 cents or more, for a beg
garly 2 ot 3 cents. These gentry are known
In the trade as "blue mold artists." as the
blue mold scare furnishes the basis of their
operations.
It is only fair to the legitimate dealers
to say they do not countenance any such
methods. Furthermore, they are sufferers
as well as the growers, aa they are un
able to compete for Eastern trade with a
bnyer who by repeated "cutting" can get
hop for almost nothing.
OREGOX APP1.KS IN LOVDOV MARKET
Demand Is More Active at Fairly Satisfac
tory Prices.
The latest weekly apple circular of W.
Dennis 8ons. of London, says:
We are glad to be able to report an
active apple market at fairly satisfactory
prices, prices, however, which vary very
considerably for the different qualities of
fruit. The demand for all classes, how
ever. Is much more active, and this, we
think, is a healthy sign, but on the other
hand supplies have not been unduly heavy.
The following prices are those now- ob
tainable. California Newtowns, 4-tier. beet quality,
ftraiOs ber box; California Kewtowns, 4-tieY,
second quality. 8ijfSs; California Kewtowns.

24s per barrel; New York Newtown Pippins,
second quality, 10los per barrel.
ONTON MARKET IS MICH FIRMER.
Sales Made by Growers at J2.40 and $2.50.
Arrivals From Japan.
It was estimated by onion shippers yester
day that not over ltt to 15 cars of onions re
main unsold in Oregon. A few cars were
sold at J2.40 to $2.00, and the market was
quoted much firmer. Shipments to San
Francisco in the past ten days have been
heavy, but that market continues strong
with the best grades quoted at t'S. The
Puget Sound markets are temporarily over
itocked with Eastern and Japanese onions,
the former being quoted to the trade in
Seattle at $2.25 repacked, and the latter at
J2.S3.
Some of the Japanese onlor.s lately re
ceived at Seattle have been withdrawn
from the market and forwarded to San
Francisco. A shipment of onions from
Japan will reach Portland on the steamer
JCumantia, due about March 2. The first lot
brought to the Coast arrived in good con
dition. Eggs at Various Prices.
Various prices were quoted In the egg
market yesterday, most of the sales were
made at 18 to 1S4 cents, though business
at half a cent above and below these fig
ures were reported by some of the Jobbers.
Several good out-of-town orders were filled
within the quotations named and this ship
ping business tended to check the decline.
Poultry was in light supply and generally
firm In price.
The supply of butter, both of city and out
side make, is small and the market Is
quoted firm. Receipts of California butter
are looked "lor next week.
New Asparagus and EgKPlant Received.
Among the vegetable receipts from Cali
fornia yesterday were the first shipments of
the season of asparagus and eggplant. The
former were of the green variety and
brought BO cents a pound. The eggplant
sold at 20 cents. A car of assorted vege
tables and a car of oranges arrived yester
day and another car of small vegetables and
ear each of celery and cauliflower are due
today. Business continued of very good
volume.
Wheat and Mlllfeed Firmer.
The wheat market was firm yesterday and
the quotations of the previous day were
stilt In effect. A gradual expansion In the
buying movement is noted, but the market
Is by no means active, owing largely to the
firm holding by farmers.
An upward tendency Is noted in all kinds
0
of mlllfeed, and the coming; week will prob
ably see s general advance.

Improvement at Last Shown
in" Stock- Speculation.
DUE MOSTLY TO RUMORS
Wall Street Greatly Puzzled by the
75-Per Cent Dividend on O. R.
& N More Steel Plants
to Resume.
NEW YORK. Feb. 28. For an hour to
day the stock- market took on an appear
ance of reviving- animation. It then re
lapsed into Its recent condition of lethargy
and scarcely moved fo the rest of the day.
The grounds advanced for the operations
which advanced prices the first hour had to
do with unconfirmed rumors for the most
part, and betrayed the professional orifiin
of most of the activity.
Copper mines in Butte, it was said, were
to te reopened and an extensive combina
tion was to be effected among copper inter
ests, which were still workine Independ
ently of each other. Inauizics in official
quarters failed to verify these assertions.
The price of copper metal in the Lon
don market suffered a reaction.- The pub
lished remarks of the head of the Amer
ican Smelting Company permitted the con
struction that a deduction in the dividend
disbursement on the shares fa in contem
plation. The influence of the various ru
mors In circulation showed some waning
power, therefore, as the day progressed.
The report of a large extra disbursement
by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany, one of the subsidiaries of the Union
Pacific, puzzled the trading element at the
stock exchange greatly, owing to the intri
cacy of the financial relations between the
various companies in that eystem. The
operation in itself was regarded as largely
one of a change In a book account, but
surmise was busy over a possible ultimate
bearing on the i'lan for segregation of the
Investment holdings of the Union Pacific, of
which official Intimations have been given
from time to time.
Money influences were . affected by the
preparations of the March 1 -settlement. The
week's known movements of money fore
shadowed a loss by the banks on account
of this week's absorption by the sub-treasury
of nearly fl,00i.000 through withdraw
als of Government deposits and also by tha
retirement of National notes. The dispo
sition of interior banks to retain their re
serves at a high point is inferred and is
confirmed by the Controller's abstract of
conditions of all the National banks as of
February 14. This shows a rise in the per
centage of legal reserves to deposits of 29
per cent compared with 21.0S9 per cent at
the time of the last call on December 3 and
with 26.82 per cent on January 26 last year,
the nearest -date corresponding to the pres
ent. The re-opening ot additional steel plants
was an item of the days news that had
a favorable effect. Remarks read to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by rail
road officials who were pleading for post
ponement of the nine-hour law for work of
telegraphers offered some rather gloomy
figures of railroad earnings. The circum
stances under which they were made had
the effect of modifying somewhat their in
fluence In forming judgments.
Some late sustaining effect on prices was
exercised by the news that the Fowler cur
rency measure had been favorably reported
to the House at Washington. The succes
sive departures on long trips of financiers
have the effect of intensifying the dullness
In the stock market. The advances, al
though not fully held in the late dealings,
were better maintained than the first move
ments have been previously this week.
Bonds were steady. Total saies, par value,
J2.1CMJ.000. United States 3s and 4s regis
tered advanced Vi and the 4s coupons de
clined Vt per cent.

GROWTH OP BUSINESS XOT
, EVEX IX ALIi SECTIONS.
February Trade, However, Compares
Favorably With the First'
Month of the Year.
NEW YORK. Feb. 28. R.. G. Dun A Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
"General business holds the ground re
cently recovered from the point of depres
sion, but reports of further progress are
sporadic. Geographically, the best news is
received from the West and South, and more
Idle machinery has resumed at the steel
mills. Many manufacturers find orders
scarce and there Is much complaint of high
prices. . while In Jobbing and wholesale de
partments th large attendance of country
merchants is not accompanied by the cus
tomary volume of business. Dealers operate
more conservatively, providing only for ur
gent needs, but low stocks Bupply a strong
statistical position that must eventually pro
duce activity in all departments. Consid
ering the storms and holidays, February
compares very favorably with the month
preceding.
' "Contracts for finished steel products con
tinue Bmall In size, but are numerous and
the aggregate tonnage of new business is
larger for the month of February than the
previous month, which, in turn was slightly
better than in December. Quotations are not
materially reduced in order to obtain con
tracts, list prices ruling steady, and If con
cessions are made they do not appear in re
ports, so that the markets remain nominally
unchanged.
"No Improvement has occurred in the de
mand for hides and prices have declined
still furtheT."
LAKGR DISTRIBUTION OF STAPLES
But Merchants Are Still Buying In Con
servative Way.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2S. Bradstreets to
morrow will say:
"Distribution of staple goods by jobbers
tends to increase as the Spring buying sea
son advances and the large number of buy
ers' excursions draw merchants to the mar
ket, but there Is a concensus of opinion that
buying is in a high degree conservative and
that staple goods and what may be classed
as necessities comprise the heavier part of
the business. Retail trade Is very quiet, ex
cept -where price reduction on winter white
goods tempt buyers. The distributive de
mand unquestionably feels the reduced pur
chasing power of the public at large, due
to short time or earnings In Industry.
Wrholesale trade Is quiet as a whole.
"Business failures in the United States
for the week ending February 27, number
254 against 326 last week. Failures in
Canada for the week number 55 against 44
last week.
"Wheat, including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week
ending February 2(7, aggregated 4.244,838
bushels against 3,201,064 bushels last week.
For the 35 weeks of the fiscal year, the ex
ports are 15,140,258 bushels against 121.

Pressure Proves Too Strong
in Wheat Market.
CLOSE IS AT A LOSS
Good Advance at the Opening Fol
lows the Rise in Liverpool, but
Gains Are Not Held In Face
of the Liquidation.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28. Wheat opened strong
because of an advance of more than two
pence at Liverpool, caused by smaller ship
ments for the week from Argentina than had
been expected. The market continued strong
during the first half of the day despite lib
eral sales by local longs, but later prices
yielded to the selling pressure, the May de
livery declining about lc from the high
point. The close was easy. May opened o
to o higher at 98c to 80c, advanced to
99o and then declined' to 97ig"97c, clos
ing at 978Sc-
Corn opened firm but soon weakened be
cause of liberal selling by holders and offer
ings from Canada. The demand for cash corn
by shippers was slow. May opened unchanged
to o higher at 61 c to 82o and advanced
to 62o and then declined to 61c, closing
at 61 c.
Oats were weak, influenced chiefly by wheat
and corn. May closed at the low point, 63c.
Provisions were firm the greater part of
the day. but weakened just before the close
on moderate realizing. The final quotations
on May pork were !2c higher, lard was un
changed ar.d) ribs were 2c lower.
