IMPORTING OF MCE
Supplies in Java Will Ee Drawn
Upon.
STOCKS LOW IN THE SOUTH
Market Has a General Vpward Ten
dency Active Demand for Freh
Produce Movement to Re
duce the Hop Acreage.
More interest attaches to the rice market
than to any other of the staple grocery
lines, as this la the only commodity that
shows at the present time a general upward
tendency throughout the country. The
strength of the market Is due to the scarcity
of rice in the South. Not enough domeelc
Tic la left to supply the trade's demands
and Importations from Java will be resorted
to. Advices from the South say the heaviest
orders are coming from the Pacific Ceat
States and other sections of the West, and
that those buyers are bidding; higher prioes
than th4 Kastem trade.
The 'Southern view of the rice situation
Is expressed In the following; Lake Charges
letter to the Bice Industry:
The supply of clean rice In the hands of
the mills of Louisiana and Texas Is very
small. and the bulk of It rests with less
than one dozen laiae dealers. The demand
has not been as active in years, and a gen
eral good feeling exists between both buyer
and seller. Letters fmm Eastern and West
ern brokers are calling for samples, and
goods are being accepted as fast an they
are offered. Considering some of the hard
years tho millers have recently experienced
in marketing the crop, the present demand
Is a little out of the ordinary. Brewers
rice, hran and polish have all been con
tracted for and are very hard to procure.
More than a dozen of the Louisiana and
Texas mills have closed down for the sea
son. Dan Talmage Rons Company, In. thielr
latest circular, say the demand in the
"East and South continues strong with prices
firm all along the line. Stocks In the Sooth
are much reduced and preparations for.
planting are under -way with larger seed re
quirements than usual. Cables and corre
spondence to Talmag'e from abroad note an
active demand for cleaned rice and a hard
er tone.
LOCAL' BVTVI.T OF BCTTKR IS SMALL
Market Would Be Firm, hot for Cheapnrns
of California.
If It were not for the low price of butter
in California. th local butter market mljfht
be called firm. A flrM-claes demand ejdnts
and the make of the city creamertes and
receipts from the Valley clean up each day
without difficulty. The cheapness of tfie
Pun Francisco market, however, acta as a
weight on the local market. As long as
there Is no further decline in the South,
prices will hold steady here until the home
supply lm-reases. Very little California bat
ter has been put on sale so far. A smaUl
quantity was offered yesterday at censts.
City creamery holds at ,10 cents and country
creamery brands at 2T hi fW cents.
Eggs are arriving freely on Front rtreet.
hut move very slowly. Sixteen cents was
again quoted on single cases, but sates of
round lots at 1.1 centa were reported.
Receipts of poultry of all kinds were Ifeght
and the demand was slow. Prices of hens,
Springs and other lines were unchanged.
flOOD TRATK TV GREKN FRO DUCK.
Karly California Truck Clean Cp WU.
Oranges Are Firm.
The brighter weather stimulated the de
mand for frulta nnd vegetable yes ten-Stay.
A well assorted supply of green truck was
on hand, part of whlcrh was received on the
, steamer. A car of fancy Los Angeles cab
bage also arrived. Cauliflower is rather
scarce on the street and flrmly quoted.- As
paragus, rhubarb and other early ve got aides
are gradually declining In price.
Two cars of oranges were received and
good progress was made in cleaning tlvrm
up. The orange market is very firm In
California and an advance. Is expected here
In a short time. Apples, were in fair supply
and generally quoted at good prices. iour
cars of bananas are due today.
For Reduction of Hop Act cage.
The hop market lacked interest ycjtertay.
A f e w emal 1 tranac t ions w ere re ported a t
the former range of prices, but most of . the
buyers who made the active market last week
wers Idle.
, it Is understood that tho Oregon, Wash
ington and California organizers of the Pa

meeting In this city on March :i0 for, the
purpose of taking steps to bring about a
general reduction of hoy acreage on the Pa

Wneat Market la Quiet.
The wheat marker was quiet yesterday
and the quotations of the day before pre
vailed. These prices are s&ld by axportiers
to represent full values, but they do not In
duce holders to part with their wheat, as

RUMORS OF DEALS
Copper Stocks Lifted at New
York.
FOLLOW RISE IN METAL
General Market Is Irregular, but
Tendency of Prices Is Upward.
- Speculation as to the Course
of Money Supplies.
NEW YORK, March 17. Tlere was same
further speculative liquidation going on in
the stock market today as a natural con
sequence to the active selling to that end
In progress at the end of the previous day.
The volume of the market diminished con
siderably and the tightening of the selling
pressure before the end of the day opened
the way to an irregular recovery. The rally
was not entirely satisfactory to speculative
interests and the later market fell into dull
ness and hesitation.
The action of the Amalgamated Copper
was of large Influence in the general course
of the market and the evidence of support
In that stock helped the recovery, just as
it. sudden break the afternoon before had
proved disconcerting to sentiment. The de
cline was accompanied by the expressed sup
position that another mossage waa soon to
come from the President contalnlnf a severe
arraignment of corporations and capitalists,
but was checked by the later assumption
that the expected message was to be mild
in terms and calculated to assuage the dread
of aeeurity holders. The passage of the
Tillman resolution by the Senate at Wash
ington, providing for an investigation as to
the extent to which National loans fester
speculation In stocks, had a somewhat dis
quieting effect and was placed In the gen
eral category of Influences hostile to Wall
street, which are complained of m the
financial district as representing a prevailing
disposition of the times.
While the price movement was downward,
attention was paid to news Items of a tenor
unfavorable to the Idea of business revival.
Reduction of wages among eotton-mllt work
ers was an instance, as was also the report
of labor difficulties on the Denver & Rio
Grande. A projected prosecution against
the Chesapeake & Ohio kept alive the in
fluence of yesterday's Superme Court de
cision In the paeking-hcruse discrimination
cases. Yesterday's passing of the Crucible
Steel preferred dividend was supplemented
by some reports from the Pittsburg district
alleging renewed decline In the rate of
activity In the steel trade for the first half
of March.
Another rise In the' price of copper in
London was an aid to the making of higher
prices for the copper securities, although Its
effectiveness today was In contrast with Its
lack of Influence yesterday to check the de
cline. There was a reappearance of "deal"
rumors in connection with the recovery of
prices, affecting supposed further combina
tions of copper interests and also plans of
readjustment among the Harrlman proper
ties. Conjectures In which the trading ele
ment showed the greatest Interest, however,
had to do with the course of the money
supplies which were Instrumental In last
week's rise in stocks and the firm intentions
of those wielding this influential instrument.
The late tone was considerably unsettled by
doubts on this question, but last prices were
not widely below the best.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
$2.824 000. United States bonds were' un
changed on call

CHICAGO. March 17. Wheat was firm al
most all day except for a short time during
the latter part of the seAsion, when the mar
ket weakened owing to realising sales, but
irllinediately preceding the close the mar

strength of corn. May opened - a shade to
t46'itc higher at WM to 95S,c. sold at 9GHC
and then declined to P5c. The close waa firm
at J5?66Vjc. World's visible supply as
shown by Bradstreets. decreased 783,000
bue-hels.
Corn was strong all day, owing to an of
ficial forecast of unsettled weather for the

selling waa1 mainly by longs and offerings
were not large. The close waa 'strong with
prices at the top notch. May opened a shade
to IfSV.c higher at 6514 to 60c. advanced to
6Gc, where it closed.

feature of trade In the oats market. May
opened unchanged to He higher at 54Va to
54i4c, sold at 53c and closed at 54c.
Provisions were rather Arm because of small
receipts of live hogs, but eased off later

OLTMPIA, Wash.. March 17. (Spe
cial.) In the bitterly-foupht Pullman
election ' case. Browing out of the
changing of the wards just prior to
election, the Supreme Court has af
firmed the decision of Judse Chad
wick, of the Whitman County Superior
Court, who granted a writ of mandate
to compel tiie .City Clerk to register
E. S. Bursan. Today's decision Is
chiefly, however, on the novel point
raised that Chadwick's . decision was
void because the court 'had the esse
under hearing during tho bank holi
days. Iu the case of W. B. Presby vs. A.
Melgard, judgment for defendant la
affirmed.
