TTt; OREGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, JIAKGH 4, 1908, 13 PRICE CLIMBS UP Wheat Advances Another Cent in Local Market. FARMERS' OFFERS LIGHT UuIUsli View of the Situation Take by Holders in the Country. Expert's Opinion of the Market. Local aheat prices were advanced one cent all around j-esterday as a result 4he Improvement in the foreign and Bast em markets. While the foreigm demand la bet t e r and ex port ers" are m ore disposed buy. business In this section Increases very slowly, as the farmers, as a class, are noi disposed to let go of thetr holdings nt th offered pricea. All the markets were strong yesterday ""hiru.o, after several weeks of depression rot buck to the dollar mark. Cargoes a Iondon were quoted fid higher at .".tie thounh options at I,1erpoo! only held steady. 1 ne market letter of an Eastern com mission firm on the statistical situation o: wheat calls attontlon to the decreasing stocks compared with lat year, the fact that the visible Is only slightly more than in 1007, the fact that the world's ship ment?, despite the huge Argentine move ment. were smaller than last year, and ex pressing belief In the Impossibility of Ar gentina to ship enough to completely offset the American shipments. The letter con tinues: For agument's sake let us assume thr America will ship two million bushels e uck to J.uly i. How much of our 44.5' onn bushels' visible will remain as burden snm stocks .Inly 1? Ist year the visible showed a steady increase- up to May 1. If there Is any merit In the above urcumen this year we shall see a decreasing rather than an increasing visible. Kven the bears admit that receipts will show a falling off compared with last year. It is true the mount on nassace Is the largest on record but Europe needs the wheat, as evidenced by the way Importing countries hit off huge chunks of the Argentine crop directly that country was In a position to sell and deliver. Let us look at home for our bui incentive. Our May has had practically 22c break from the hlsrh point. The Gov ernment report, due- March 10, showing re servrs in farmers hands, will show a smal total and may he the jerk to call attention of the trade to our own home conditions. It seems to us there In sunuhlne ahead for the bulls. D( RKAlSK IN rKOI)t (TION OF BKER. Brewers, In View of Prohibition Agitation, Cannot lie Interested In Hops. The Government returns on barrel tax show the beer production in January ti have been S8.:UXl barrels less than in th same month lt year. The output In Jan uary, lIOjs..- was :t,fl!Hl, 1,11 barrels, as, com pared with. 3,7.17.44 barrels In January, I!K7. This' is the first time in many month that, the Government statistics have shown a decrease in production. Both the brew era and the prohibitionists will prohably at tribute the shlnkage to the prohibition agl tat ion, though it is more likely due to climatic conditions and the business dc presslnn in the East. However, the pro hlbitlon movement has much to do with checking business in the hop market, and brewers decline to make commitments In view of the uncertainly whether or not they will be In business next season. It Is possible, though, when the weather turns warm again and brer sales Increase that they will not take such a pessimist-ic view of the future. The largest transaction in the hop mar ket tills week has been the purchase by Charles Livcsley of about 400 bales of George Hose's crop. The price was not learned. .It is believed in the trade'that the hops are for Clem Horst. who. as usual, does not begin to operate much until the other dealers are out of the market. WIIX NOT ISK ORE;OX POTATOES. Watsoovilie and Saltans Rtork Will Go on Battleship Order. The Government order for 7000 sacks of potatoes for the battleship fleet has been swarded to a -Southern dealer, who will All It with Watsonvllle and -Salinas stock. A number of bidders had figured on put- - ting in Oregon potatoes, but their bids were too high. Among those who submit- ' ted bids on Oregon Burbanks was D. J. Smith, of San Francisco, who is now in this state buying nj&tatoes for the California market. The fruit and vegetable trade continues f satisfactory volume. A car 4Pf oranges came in 'yesterday, and several cars Of bananas arc due this morning. A car each of cabbage and cauliflower will also arrive today. Asparagus Is becoming more plenti ful, but is still quoted at a high price. The market Is well stocked w It h tomatoes, which are slow sale. CAIJFORMA Bt'TTKR OS FRONT ST. Outside Orders Hold Kgx Market Heady Poultry Firm. The butter market holds about steady at the recent deHtne. A shipment of Califor nia butter was received on Front street yesterday and offered at flrv rents per roll. There is a good demand for storage butter, which Is firmer In tone, price considered, than fresh creamery. Outside orders for eggs are about equal to dally arrivals, and the market holds steady. Local buying is not a factor on Front street, as most cf the retailers are getting supplies direct from the . -ountry. Receipts of poultry continue moderate and prices are firmly maintained.

PRICES UP TEMPORARILY Decline in Copper Metal an Influ ence in Bringing About a Later Reaction Money Market .Featureless. NEW YORK. March 3. The stock mar Ket was whipped into a semblance of ani mation for a time today, but soon the proceedings dropped back Into a lethargic iaiE a reaction from the advance. ucinig operations by shorts were as signed as a chief source of the demand, which was invited bv a. mrrcsHlnn nf tn- .cidents in the last day or two. serving to ' me noris uneasy. Today there was printed in the financial district a specific statement attributed to Attorney General Bonaparte that there was no intention on the part of the Government authorities to move an injunction against pymeni 01 tne southern Pacific divl dend on shares held In the T'nion Pnrifii control. The bear element in the specula tion had been making much of the nun posed Intention to help in depressing stocks, and nuugni io cover with this develop ment. Support was Still evMpnt In Ka- tional Lead and the resumption of mining uHciniiuns in me jviontana copper camp con tinued under discussion with some stimulat ing effect on the copper industrials. The element that prospers from habifual activity In stock oneratlons was much im pressed with the progress of attempts to secure legislation lookinr to the limitation of such operations to the actual transfer or homings fully paid for. The Introduc tion of a bill in Concress to tax stock transfers at the rate of 50c for every $100 enures 01 siocK manes a penalty that would be prohibitive of the ordinary marginal operations in stocks. Reports that this bill had the approval of the administration were current about the Stock Exchange and added to the feeling of gloom for some time prevalent over any chance of revival of stock activity. Fears were expressed of a similar measure from Albany. The nu merous prosecutions announced on behalf of the Government against the railroad companies for non-compliance with the safety device requirements of the law kept alive the subject of governmental activities against corporations. The publication of the annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad, although it dealt with conditions of the past, was made the occasion for the support of the stork owing to the record achievements of the year In earnings as well as the outlaw The reports supplied by the railroads to the In terstate Commerce Commission of monthly net earnings are read with-growing atten tion, although the changes in accounting prevent accurate comparisons with previous reports. Copper was marked down, again today both in London and at the New- York Metal Exchange and this had an Influence on the reaction in prices from the advance. Money and exchange markets were dull and featureless. The rise in last week's exports from New York to a value of over $20,000,000 Is explanatory of the restraint on any advancing tendency in the foreign exchange market. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. $2.2!2,000. United States 2s de clined H per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing High. 52 Low. Bid. Adams' Expreas . .
