TRADING FALLS OFF Condition of Foreign Crops Oats Market Stimulated by Eastern Demand Plowing l"p Hop Yards In New York. Trading In the local wheat market yester day wu ot small proportions. The feeling was eavy and prices a cent under, those of last nee-lc were quoted. This decline had the effect of almost entirely checking the sell ing movement. A good deal of business was transacted last week and the strong local demand met with more or less ready re sponse on the part of sellers. The decline yesterday, however, did not have the effect that It sometimes does of bringing out more offerings, .but on the other hand brought business almost to a standstill. Farmers are very Arm and independent in their views, and practically all the wheat left unsold Is held by growers who are financially able to "hold on longer. Uroomhall's latest foreign crop summary follows: United Kingdom Quite large area shows plant weak, and possibly some reseeding will be necessary, especially barley and oats, wheat offerings are small. France, Italy, Bulgaria, North Africa and Spain Outlook unchanged ; favorable. Germany Outlook satisfactory; supplies of native wheat umall er; this country continues a free buyer of both Argentine and Pacific Coast. Russia Notwithstanding improvement In the South west, one-third crop expected; prospects for Spring crop good, but Spring wheat is less reliable; elsewhere there Is plenty of snow and prospects are excellent; poor outlook for Winter grain may retard seeding of Spring; supplies very light. Roumania Weather seasonable and crop promises well. Hungary Weather unseasonable; stocks decreasing. The oats market continues to show a firm tons because of the demand from the East, but buying on local account Is light. Barley Is dull and nominal. Hay Is going slowly Into cdnsumption. Some growers having a cheap grade of hay are pressing sales, but most of the best quality of hay Is In firm hands. JXK'AL HOP TBAIK QUIET MONDAY Conditions In New York State as Reported by Kit stern Papers. There wefre no Important developments In the local hop market yesterday. A few small sales were reported from the country at previous prices. The latest Issue of the Watervllle (N. Y.) Times said: There la a little business doing here, but nnt as much as there would ,be if the right srfrt of goods could be found. As soon as there Is a crop of the better quality offered on this market It Is quickly picked up. and only the scarcity of thin quality restricts the sales here. There is some talk of plowing up some of the yards hereabouts, but it U not so general as over in Madison County, where there were a good many poor hops grown which are still left in the growers hands. The Cobleskill (N. Y.) Times thinks It sees the finish of he Pacific Coast grower. It says: The hop market remains in practically the same condition as It has for several weeks, wherever a good crop is to be found it Is eagerly sought at prices ranging from . 10 to 12 cents, in spite of the fact that Coast 'hops are selling at from 4 to 5 cents. This disparity In price is owing to the recognition rty brewers that state's have the strength ajid flavor superior to Coast hops. It Is only a question of time -when the Coast growers will have to go out of the business as they cannot command the price. Their land is too valuable for . fruitgrowing to long hold on to a lowing game. DEMAND 'OR POl'LTRY NOT STRONG rWoring of Kick at Present Price Not Ex tensiveButter Active. There were very few arrivals of poultry yesterday and the market was more or less nominal. The trade does not look for a demand as active as prevailed at the open ing of last week. The egg market was flat. The general quotation on the street was 16 cents, but round lota were offered lower.. A little stor ing of surplus stocks has been done, but not many eggs will be put away until bed rock has been reached and 16 cents Is not ronsldered bottom this year. Some of the largest speculators say they will not store any Oregon eggs this season, but will de pend on the East for their storage supplies. The butter market continues very active and city and country creamery cleans up readily. Present prices are likely to be main tained unless there is a further drop In the California market. Light Arrivals of Produce. There was a good demand for fresh produce yesterday, but the market was light ly supplied with green stuff. An assortment if Southern truck is due on the steamer today. Arrivals yesterday were one car of sweeet potatoes and three' cars of California oranges, one of them from the Eiler ranch. The movement in oranges Is very good. Ap ples are In fair supply and sell readily. Weekly Grain Htatlntlca. The n eekly grain statistics of ' chants'" Exchange follow; American visible supply- Decrease Bushels. Bushels.

LESS SUPPORT IS GIVEN Bull leaders Show Ijack of Confi dence in the Movement Pres sure on Amalgamated Weak , - ens Entire Market. NEW YORK. March 16. The professional element in the stock market was alert for indications of reactions in prices today. They based their opinion of the market on the extent to which the rise had already run. The inducement to holders on this account to sell and realize profits and the admitted narrow participation attracted into to speculation from the outside public. The conduct of speculation for some time past has relied on an ultimate awakening of widespread interest in stocks to afford a medium for taking the accumulation that had been going on off the hands of holders. The revelations of a wavering of confidence on the part of leaders of the advancing movement confirmed the confidence of the bears in working for reaction. They sold with increasing aggressiveness and offered prices down to take the market from those attempting to realise. lew developments had little reflection In the market. Some confidence was- added to the side of the reaction by the new of the United States Supreme Court de cision in the Armour packing house case. The confirmation of the powers for con trol of railroad rates granted by the Elkin law was felt to be of serious import to railroad companies. The passage of ths dividend on Crucible Steel preferred was minor Influence against the market. Railroad traffic officials did not express fuil concurrence In the views pravalent last weeK in tne stock market of the im provement in business conditions) which has set in, although reporting some slight growth of traffic. A heavy movement of soft coal was attributed, however, to prep aration for a possible strike in that in dustry. Foreign markets were not disposed to fol low eagerly the initiative set by Wall street last week. The investment situa tion abroad as well as here is not yet satis factory to those looking to enlist capital. The London market reflects, in spite of a growing accumulation of banking reserves, d iscouragement over the volume of new Issues. The reserve accumulation there as well as here is traceable to declines In trade activity and is an element In the absten tion of foreign markets from any recall of the enormous sums shipped to this coun try to tide us over our crisis last Fall. The excess calue of our February exports reached $88,743,301, compared with $36,5uO,000 in the same month last year, but the falling oft or nearly $44,000,000 In value of our imports Is the vital factor In this showing and is conclusive testimony to commercial con traction. Speculative sentiment was especially im pressed by the pressure to realize profits in Amalgamated Copper In spite of another rise in the metal here and in London. This realizing In Amalgamated Copper was prime factor in the market weakness of the late market, and. which continued up to the closing. Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value, $2,400,000 United Spates bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low, Bid.

Wheat opened weak and continued heavy the entire day.

May opened c.to c lower at 95c to 96c, advanced to 96c and then declined to 95c. The close was at 96g9oc. The slump in wheat depressed corn some what, but active buying by shorts prevented any great decline. May corn openedi c lower to o higher at 66 to 66c old off to 65c and closed at 65iB05c. Oats were weakened by the decline In wheat. May opened c to V,o lower to 6c higher at 54 to 55c, sold off to 54c and closed at 64c.

Instant relief and permanent cures have so Invariably followed the use of an American prescription lor the cure or SKin diseases tnat European ooc tors, always zealous to lead in fields of medical knowledge, are still direct ing inquiries as to tne ingredients or this external vegetable remedy. The makers of the prescription, the D. D. D. Company of Chicago, are re plying; frankly to such European In quiries that this Eczema remedy is simply oil of wintergreen compounded wfith other vegetable ingredients of known healing power such as thymol and glycerine. Apparently no case of no matter how long standing can stand against this simple remedy, known as D. D. D. Prescription. Here is a typical letter from Mrs. E. Payne, of East Pittsburg, Pa.: "I had a horrible breaking out on ray legs and feet, and tried nearly ell medicines and salves without re sult. The first bottle of D. D. D. helped me and I secured a complete cure. That was two years ago and I have had no trouble since." We have investigated the merits' of D. D. 1.
