THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, XOTi31BER 14, 1903, SURPLUS OF HiiY Local Stocks Too Large for Immediate Needs. SOME SHADING CF PRICES 'o Demand From San Francisco Yet In Spite of the Serious Short age Reported In Oie Cal ifornia Crop. Tta rcent flurry In the San Traneico hay market has had no effect on local prices. Port Land dealer have been Bound ing the trade In the Bay City but without effect, and far as U known there has been no Inquiry at all here from the South. The local market la rather weaker now than It has been, owing to the large re cclptB. Since the beginning of the week receipts hav airregated 72 cars, while 67 cars came in Jaat week. The big surplus on the market Is hard to move and some shading of former prices ts reported. Iealers declare there Is still plenty of hay In the country. A strong statistical position In California has been worked out by the San Francisco Hay Association, which says In Its latest report: "Oreatly to the surprise of the local trade and much to Its consternation. It appears that there is on hand but 116. 80 tons. These fl cures are significant when com pared with the stock of last year at the same Lime of 229. 00 tons, bvlng a shortat of over lOO.OvO tons. This looks particularly serious when the reconls are examined and show the amount cf hay consunvd in the IS an Francisco market between November and May In the last four years, as follows: "November. 1904. to May. 1905. 1 16.000 tons; November. 1905, to May. 1906. 134,000 tons; November. 190$. to May, 1907. 127,000 tons; November. 1907. to May, 190$, 189.000 tons. "Reason In g. t h eref ore. from th ese flg uros, the San Francisco market should be bare of hay about the 1st day of April, 1909. and unless supplies are reoeived from neighbor ing states there Is not enough In sight to go around, and there Is a possibility of serious bay shortage. If not actual hay famine. "When It fa considered that with the figures --and normal consumption as above, there have been on hand on the 1st of May f n r the last A ve years at the least 2 2. 6 00 tons, and at the- most C0.000 tons, the gravity of the situation may be appreciated. While the local dealers have realized there Is a shortage In hay the great deficiency has not been appreciated until nmv. "We learn from the Interior that pas tures are exhausted, that absence of rain has prevented green feed from starting, and that farmers are already beginning to haul hay out of the warehouses to feed their sork Should a dry seaaon add Its share to the situation, hay consumers of California are facing a very serious condition of af fairs." WESTERN WOOLS IX THE EAST. large Sole of Oregon and Territory Are Reported at Boston. Mall advices from Boston report the mar k"t on Oregon wools as firm, with further larsw; sales cf Eastern staple as 18 to 1 cents, or on a scoured basis, around &S corns.

DOMINANT MARKET FACTOR Xo Obstacle Presented to Hie Ad ranee In the General Ust Larg est Sales of Bonds in the His tory of the Exchange. NEW TORK. Nov. 13. No apparent ob stacle presented itself to the advance In prices today. Except as bids were received, there seemed to be no stock offered for sale. The mere fact of the advancing ten dency of prices 'served to reduce the of ferings, holders retaining: their stocks In the hope of conviction that they could Just as well get hljrher prices for them. Such offerings as were encountered were absorbed with ready confidence. Stocks which have lain dormant were revived by putting in bids at gradually advancing quotations without bringing out any stocks, the re sult being some remarkable advances in the sale prices over preceding transactions, sometime, dating back months into the period of depression. The market took all th. appearance of an excited bull movement. The general proposition advanced by the enthusiasts was that a quick restoration of prosperity was in sight, with prospects of larger re turns to capital than ever before. United Slates Sleel was made an ob ject lesson for all followers of the prevalent speculative- spirit. ' That stock forged up ward to successive new record prices, so that each stage of its advance offered an additional profit to any purchase that had ever been made of the stock since the form ation of the company. Its, top figure of 68 i represented a rise of two points over the closing price last night, which In turn showed a gain of ITi over the closing of the preceeciing night. The expansion In valuation thus represented on the &.O00.0O0 and upward of common stock shares of the corporation represented so potent a force of absorption in the appetite of capital for speculation and investment as fairly to overpower the imaglnatron. It had that effect today and was the dominant factor in the market. Of the day's total sales of all stocks, reaching 1.S93.200 shares, those of I'ntted States Steel reached the number of 3l'1.800 shares. Simultaneous sales at the opening were of 15,000 shares, and numerous blocks of between 3000 and 10.000 shares were re corded on the tape throughout the day. There Were purchases of that and other In dividual stocks by single brokers of 10.000 shares and upward in many cases during the day. The large proportion of the day's dealings concentrated in that stock and in I'nion Pacific and in Southern Pacific-was significant of a centralization of forces in speculation. Bonds were strong and active. The day's transactions were probably the largest for any single day In the history of the stock exchange. Total sales, par value, IS. 84",, 000. I'ntted States bonds wre unchanged on call. CI.OPINO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sale,. High. Low. Bid. Amal Copper i!',.iM Nii fcHi.j K7 Am Car It Foun. S.:on 4' SH'j 47',, do preferred ...

SOME PRESSURE TO SELL News of the Day Tends to Bearish- ness Shorts on the Alert, . However, for Any De velopment, CHICAGO, Nor. 13. Trade In the wheat pit was void of any great activity and the BeBslon was characterized by considerable nervousness. The majority of pit traders seemed to favor the selling side of the market, but the first signs of any material support from bull leaders caused hasty cov ering by those who had sold short. News of the day was chiefly of a bearish nature; the Liverpool market was rather weak, re ceipts from the West liberal, weather in Argentina was more favorable to the grow ing crop and export business showed a de cided falling off. Following slight weakness at the start, the corn market was strong the remainder of the day and at the close prices were c above the previous close. Pinal quota tions for December and May were similar at Oats were firm early in the session, but became weaker late in the day. A decline of lc in feed farley and of He in oats was responsible for much of the selling. The market closed easy with prices unchanged to He lower with December at 40c and May at 51 'fee. Provisions were weak nearly ail day ow ing to selling brought out by a 5 to 10-cent decline in live hogs. Receipts of live hogs were again extremely liberal, total arrivals today at Western points being 78.40O head against 41.300 head a year ago. Tha lead'ng futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. .
