13 TIIE 3IORMXG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1905. WHEAT IS STRONG Market Shows an Upward Tendency. FOREIGN PRICES HIGHER Increasing Demand for Bluestem In the Pacific Xorthwest General Advance In Prices Is Looked For. Sentiment In the local wheat market has become decidedly bullish and another ad vance In prices seems Imminent. For sev eral weeka Portland exporters have been buying heavily. In many Instances at prices considerably above the market. They oper ated on the assumption that such specula tion was justified by the strong underlying position of the market and that foreign prices would In time come up to their basis. Their assumption proved correct, for the European markets have now reached the stage where the recent purchases show a profit. Instead of buying above export values now. the prices current here are probably under the foreign basis. At any rate, it Is believed in the trade that a gen eral elevation In quotations la likely to be made In the next few days. Private cablea received yesterday showed strengthening markets In Europe and made the prediction of better prices In the near future. The cables ot the Merchanta- Ex change reported cargoes steady at 87s 6d. with Liverpool options 4 higher at the cloee. All the world is looking to the Pacific Northwest for Its supply of white wheat, stocks of which. In Europe, are deficient and are absolutely required for mixing with the darker wheats. The demand for blue lem In this section Is. therefore, becoming stronger. The Merchants' Exchange reports Argen tine shipments for the week as 560.000 bush els as compared with 1.472.000 bushels laat week: India shipments 2B4.O0O bushels against 112.000 bushels last week, and Aus tralia. 160.000 bushels compared with 224.000 bushels last week. Oats were prominently strong at yester day's session of the Board of Trade. For September tl 40 was bid, an advance of S cents over- Thursday's closing. For Decem ber, f 1.41 4 was offered. Wheat waa about ready with 89 cents offered for September and 90H for the later month. Barley was firm and 2 cents higher than the pre ceding day. Receipts for the day were 58 cars and 8250 aacks wheat, 3 cars and 233 sacks oats, cars and 300 sacks barley, 2 cars mlll aturTs. 22 cars and 487 bales hay. The range of futures was as follow (f. o. b. warehouse Port land 1: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. rpt. .... $.... .-..

Yesterday's rain, which extended over a good portion of the Oregon hop belt, was J welcomed by the growers. It will nelp tn hopeio -mature and will add many bales, even to the yards that were but poorly cul tivated. The rain la also likely to extermi nate the red spider, which has become trou blesome In some sections. A market transaction of much interest to the trade was the sale by Thomaa Holman. ot Salem, ot 327 bales of 1907s to Ed C. Ilerren at 3 cents. As the hops were ot very good quality, the sale shows a considerable depreciation in market values In the last tew weeks. There la much talk of contracting, but nothing definite tn this line has been made public. It ia said contracts have been made from 5 to 7 cents and half the rise. It Is certain, however, that many growers are becoming anxious with the near approach of picking time, and some of them are having much difficulty in arranging for the financ ing of their harvest operations. James Plncus, ot Tacoma, who waa at -the Belvedere Hotel yesterday, says that In the next two vears Washington will cease to be a hopgrowlng state. The growers have be come discouraged over the low prices and are putting the land to more profitable usea He bellevea California will be the next atate to quit hopgrowlng. as many of the large growers there are about all in, and In a few years practically all the American hops will be raised In Oregon. "I think the market this year will open at about 8 or 9 cents." said Mr. Pincua The best export hops will probably sell at 10 cents. I cannot see why there should be any very low prices or high ones. I look for a steady market during most of the sea son. The worst feature ot the situation Is the big stock ot hops the brewers are carry ing. The American crop is sure to be light, not over 210,000 bales, but the foreign crops will be Increased. England, according to our latest reports, will have 500.000 cat., and the continent 1.100.000 cwt. Conditions may improve In this country after the November elections, but Just now the brewers are not Interested. "There Is a good deal of foolish talk going on about the short sellers, but anyone who knows anything about the market knows there has been but little short selling so far. The Indifference ot brewers haa made such business almost Impossible. The big dealers axe long." It la not surprising that Mr. Plncus and the other hop dealers should find the brew ers hard customers, considering the falling off In the consumption of beer. The Govern ment figures on the production In July, which have Just been received, show a de crease of 773,330 barrels as compared with July laat year, while for the first seven months of the current year the shrinkage has been 2 138.244 barrels.

Pencil Kerelpta Lighter. The fruit business continues quiet because of the unfavorable weather. Watermelons are especially slow and cantaloupes do not fare much better. A lot ot poor local canta loupes are on the market and some are sell ing as low as 50 cents. The beat are quoted at ft. 3091.73. Peach receipts were not so heavy yester day and the market waa firmer at 60 R5 cents for good average offerings. Grapea moved fairly well at the former range of 1 prlcea A good many off-grade apples are coming In and ara hard to dispose of even at low prlcea. Tomatoes are still a drug on the market and receipts are moved with difficulty. Sales were made yesterday as low as 23 cents. A car of sweet potatoes was re ceived. Poultry Receipts Are Large. Poultry receipts were again large and with a lighter demand the market was easier, especially for chickens. Egg receipts were small, only 170 caaea. The mirkft -was quoted firm with nlu of extras at 200 2T cents. I Butter was firm and unchanged. Receipt from the country were 73 boxes. The cheese market was Quoted firm with a moderata movement. Sugar Down 20 Cents. All grades of sugar declined 20 cents per hundred yesterday. This change, which was the first In many weeks, was the result of the weak condition of the Eastern market.

TRADING FAIRLY LARGE Southern Pacific Establishes New High Record Earnings of Atch ison and Missouri Pacific. Close Is 'Heavy. NEW YORK, Aug. 28. There was another up bidding of prices on the stock exchange today, interspersed with frequent periods of profit taking. The day's business was fairly large, but again the bulk of the trading was in half a dozen Issues, Reading, the Harrlmana, Smelting, the Steel shares and Amalgamated Copper. Some new theories and conjectures were advanced to account lor the rise in toum ern Paclflo, which made another new high record, but they were given no encourage ment in official circles. Obviously, the large short Interest which existed early In the week haa been put to rout. If not com pletely eliminated. The Increased demand for bonds, a con splcuous feature of the last few days, haa done much to restore confidence in the market and a broader and more general m ouirv for high-class issues Is confidently predicted. Crop advlcea at hand today were In line with the encouraging news ot early week, but latest advices from the flood districts In the country fully confirm previous dispatches telling of very heavy damage to growing cotton and serious losses In various Industrial and mercantile lines. The stock market became dull in the early afternoon, but not until a demonstra tion In Reading had carried that stock up 1 points. The buying came from interests previously Identified with bull movements in that stock, and was attended by rumors of favorable developments tn the property shortly. In the group of specialties, the feature was Consolidated Gas, wnicn u vanced over four Dolnts on moderately large purchases. The result of the day was hardly satisfactory, some of the more sub stantial early gains being changed to losses before the close, wnicn was neavy. Estimates for the week's cash gain varied from $3,300,000 to $3,500,000, but whatever the showing tomorrow, the banks are now so glutted with money as to maac n m l,Hal HlffdP.llMi. The most Interesting railroad returns of the day were that of Atchison lor juiy, which show heavy decrease in gross earn ings, but reduction of expenditures converted this into a net gain. The publication of this statement was followed by a smart rise in the stock and Increased activity In the convertible bonds. Missouri Pacific rendered its report for the fiscal year show ing a net decrease in operating revenue of about $.1,800,000. but like Atchison Its June statement showed a net Increase. Bonds closed steady after some loss of their early strength. Total sales, par value, $3,440,000. Government bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Cloning Sales. High. 81 41 Low.

Wheat Market Is Strong Most of Day at Chicago Bearish Ji'ews Ignored, CHICAGO. Aug. 28. The feature of trade in the wheat pit waa an urgent demand for the September delivery by snorts and caen Interests. The amount of offerings of that option caused lt to cell at one time on a par with the December option, and at tne close the premium on the latter month waa only ec. ' The market opened strong on a general de mand by comrniaselon houses, Inltiel quota tions) ahowlng gains of c to S,c. The strength at the start was due largely to an advance of d at Liverpool, which, it was said, was the result ot the small amount of shipments of wheat last week from Argen tina. Liberal receipts in the Northwest and weather conditions In the Spring wheat coun try, which were generally favorable for the harvesting and movement of the new crop, were seemingly ignored. . The market lost some of Its bullishness later in the day, owing to selling, based. It waa claimed, on a de cline In the price of caeh wheat at Minneapo lis and Duluth. The greatest selling press ure was on the December and May deliverlee. The market for caeh wheat waa steady on A fair demand. Export business waa quiet, but It waa re ported that a lot of hard Winter wheat had been sold for export, and Duluth and Toledo also reported moderate sale. The close waa firm.

TRADE ON PACIFIC COAST Activity Slowly Increasing In Indus trial Linefj Lumber Production Expanding Labor Trou bles Are Few. NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Bradetreet's tomor row will say: Buyers are more in evidence this week, and as a result business has expanded measurably at leading Western and Pacific Coast points and at a few Southern centers. Some new stocks are reported being bought at Chicago, which - Is rather In contrast with a year ago. when the coming depression had already be gun to make for precaution In embarking In new enterprise. Despite the Improvement, however, the volume of business does not equal that of last season, and conservatism and caution are still visible. Retail trade is dull the country over. Industry tends to Increase in activity, though elowly, but current production ts still be'.ow anticipations In many instances. Lum ber production has, however, shown expansion at the South and on the Pacific Coast. Money has begun to flow to the country to move the crops, but otherwise the demand Is light and rates are very easy. High-grade commercial paper is in notably light supply, an evidence that uw mercantile operations are, being governed by conservatism. Crops generally have made fair progress toward ma turity.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28. R. O. Dun's Review of Trade will say tomorrow: Gradual Improvement continues, especially In respect to the percentage of manufacturing plants In operation. Country merchants are more disposed to replenish stocks. Retail trade la seasonably ojulet, except where stimulated by clearance sales, but wholesale and fobbing houses are doing a good Fall business, although collections are irregu lar. With the exception of the cotton mills, there Is much less Idle machinery In the lead ing Industries. Several wage agreements have been signed and there la little strife between capital and labor. On the whole, crop prospects are satisfac tory and producers obtain unusually high prices. Packer hides are firm, but other descrip tions have sold at concessions, while trade ts less active.

Mr. Wallace came here from Colorado and was familiar with dry farming methods as ap plied In that state, and he applied these principles to the valley lands bat'lt of Lewis ton. Some of the Daniels & Wallace grain ran 40 and 50 bushels to the acre.
