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.

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.
