THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1903. 13 P0TAT0ESG0H0RTH Strong Demand From Alaska Points. FAIRBANKS ORDERS IN But Crop Will Not Be Ready for Large Shipments to That Sec tion Active Demand for Fresh Fruits. Potatoes are going forward on Alaska orders and buyers are paying from $1.10 to II 25. the top figure for atrictly fancy stock. The quantity available at thia time, how ever, la not lance. Were the Oregon crop a little earlier, the movement would be a heavy one, aa shippers have good orders from Fairbanks and Cltena. but they have to get the bulk of the supply from Cali fornia. Potatoes for Fairbanks go in by way of St. Michaels, and the Mackinaw, the last steamer to leave, sails from Seattle on September 1. a date too early to permit of the handling of much Oregon stock. Fairly good potato prices should rule throughout the country this season. Invest gatlons by the Department of Agriculture showed the condition of the ITnited Statee crop on August 1 to be S2.9 per cent of a normal, aa compared with S9.8 on July 1. UK'S. SS.5 on August 1. 1P0T. S9 on August 1. 1906 and S8.S. the ten-year average on August 1. In the Pacific Coast division the condition on August 1 last was S3 per cent, a decline of 3.3 per cent since July 1. and 4 4 per cent lower than August !. 10O7. The ten-year average condition in the Coast district is 9. 4 per cent. LOCAL. FLOCR MARKET 18 FIRM. Prices Not Affected by Scrapping at Seattle. The recent decline In the Seattle flour market has no effect on flour prices here or elsewhere In the Northwest: In fact, prices hare been advanced In the last few days at some points east of the mountains. The Plica cutting at Seattle is the result of a fight between a few millers there and the low prices named are not Justified by con ditions In the wheat market. The flour market !n Portland is quoted firm with a steady demand. Wheat buying continues on a small scale, as farmers are hard holders. Prices offered oy exporters yesterday were unchanged. At the Board of Trade the feeling was firmer. September wheat cloyed with a gain of one cent and December closed lj cents higher. Oats were unchanged with $1.30 bid for September and $1.35 for the later delivery. For spot oats $1.35 was offered. Barley was 2 4 cents higher at the close. Receipts for the day were 1 cars and 850 sacks wheat. 300 sacks oats. 5 cars barley. 4 cars middlings and 14 cars and 74 bales hay. The range of futures was as follows (f. o. b. warehouse, Portland): WHEAT. High. $... . .SO 4 Low. I .89 Close.

The fruit market was booming yesterday with supplies amp In all lines. Peach re ceipts were the largest of the week, 1500 boxes arriving by express, mostly from Roseburg. Many of these showed the effect of heat. Prices ranged from 40 to S5 cents with most sales around GO cents. California peaches wera weaker at S5 cents. Five cars of watermelons arrived and they moved freely at firm prices. Jobbers find It hard to get their orders filled. Canta loupes cleaned up better and were quoted firmer at $1.75 for the best. A straight car of Malaga grapes, the first of the season, was due last nignt. They will be offered today at $1.50. Rose of Peru sold at $1.25. and for common Dalles stock 85 cents to $1 was the quotation. Seedless ( grapes will be out of the market until shlp menta from Yuba City arrive. Two cars of bananas were received in the afternoon. Hot Weather (berks Baying of Eggs. The sultry weather has had the effect of checking tho demand for eggs somewhat, but recelpta of strictly fresh stock are so limited that full prices are readily ob tained. Extras were again quoted firm at 24327 rests. Total receipts for the day were 2S caaes. Seattle la In the market, but at low prices. Thera waa a strong demand for chickens, which were quoted Arm because of light ar rivals. The butter and cheese market waa quot ed firm and unchanged. Butter receipts were 67 boxes. Bank Clearings.

Up ward Tendency Advance in Butter Expected. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.) Ninety-two cents was asked today for blue stem wheat on the Merchants Exchange, but no sales were put through at that price. The highest bid was 00 cents. An impres sion prevails among some of the dealers that the buying movement of a. week ago will be" resumed toward the end of the month, when boats begin to arrive on the Sound to load for export. Oats and barley were firm. The tendency ts for higher prices. Although late varieties of peaches are not abundant, this was the leading fruit on the street today. The top price was $1. Prices ran down to as low as cents. Butter is Arm. In view of the fact that prices are several points lower than at the corresponding date last year, and with an exceptionally heavy demand, -the prediction was made on the street today that an ad vance will occur soon, possibly on Satur day afternoon.

IN PROFESSIONAL HANDS Harrlman Issues Show Increased Strength Metal Shares Pressed for Sale Railroad Bonds Are Heavy. NEW YORK. Aug. 19. Brleflr summarized, today's Mock mark.t waa dull, narrow and meanlngls. Trading waa very much cur tailed and It required but a cursory glance at the list of buyers and sellers to make clear the professional character of the day-, opera tions. The Increased strength of the Harrlman is sues la ascribed to further digestion of the annual reporta of the Union Paclflo and South ern Pacific, recently submitted, wherein It was manifest that both systems have mada material reductions In operating expenses, despite the increased taxes Imposed, which, In the case of tha Southern Pacific, seemed well nigh onerous. ' The metal stocks wera pressed for sale fre quently during tha day, American Smelting being heavily sold by an operator recently Identified with tha advance. Belief that the movement in American Smelting and Amal gamated Copper has been somewhat overdona prevails In many, quarters, especially as trade conditions have taken a less favorable turn with three distinct reductions In the price of copper metal. United States Steel shares were relatively heavy. Advices from the lead ing' Industrial centers indicate a very slow renewal of operations, but with better pros pects for such. The only feature of the money market was tha offering of call loans at per cent. The general tons was easier on larger offerlnga Railroad bonds were heavy. In sympathy with the stock list. Total sales, S2.436.U0O. United States bonds held steady. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlirh. Low. Bid. Amal Copper 32.4IK) lb 77H Am Car & Koun. 4( o7s do preferred! ...

Henry Clews writes from New York under date of August 15 as follows: Bevond question the abundance ana cheapness of money has been one of the most influential factors In the late rise In the etock market. It furnished the big eperators with an unlimited supply of funds with which to carry stocks at low rates; and cheap money always means dear stocks sooner or later. Our banks are literally glutted with Idle funds, and although crop moving demands have commenced the New York banks show a surplus reserve of about $60,000,000. which is near. if not exceeding the record. This phenomenally plethoric condition of the money market Is attribu table to two Influences: First, the dimin ishing activity of business; and, second, an excessive and unwholesome expansion In our currency. As to the first cause the facts are un pleasantly familiar. Business in general Is running between 10 and 20 per cent below last year in volume, and In some cases the shrinkage Is even greater, the Iron trade, for example, running less than 60 per cent of Its capacity. The lower range of prices established for many commodities also lessens the requirements for money. Happily these depressing elements are gradually passing away; and surely, if slowly, we are recovering from the disasters of 1907. The great expansion of our currency, however, has not received the attention it deserves. According to the last statement lsaued by the Treasury Department the amount of circulation In the United States was $3,045. 000.000 or $264,000,000 more than a year ago. This Is a huge Increase, and comes at a time when the supply of currency should contract rather than expand. Of this enormous circulation $1.309".900.000 was in gold coin, bullion or certificates, which Is $219,500,000 more than on August 1, 1907. Here is inflation of the most pronounced type, especially If the banks are to grcnt credit on the usual basis of 4 to 1 on gold. Where does this great pile of gold come from? Well, the United States. In addition to an already large stock of the precious metal, la producing annually at the rate of $100,000,000 and over. Last Fall we Im ported -more than $100,000,000. of which we returned only about half. Much less is now being consumed in the arts or for adorn ment than formerly, owing to business de pression, and . considerable amounts have been returned from hoarding since the panic. In ordinary times we should reduce such a swollen surplus by exporting it to Eu rope. But the foreign banks already hold about $150,000,000 mere gold than a year ago and have no present need to cfcll upon us, with South Africa breaking all records In output. In July the Rand district pro duced 690,000 ounces of geld, compared with 683,000 ounces in December. 1 This world-wide ease In money and surfeit of gol.1 must exert an Inflationary effect upon value.. When not wanted for pur poses of legitimate business lt will surely be used for speculation. Such a state of affairs may be undesirable, because reaction will surely follow, delaying rather than accelerating genuine recovery. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET.

Aug. 19- The wheat market was firm all day. but trade was of slender volume. The September and December de liveries showed the greatest strength, the May option being depressed to some extent by the excellent weather for harvesting the Spring crop in the Northwest.
