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.

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.

WHEAT PITNERVOUS
Trading Falls Off in Chicago
. Market.
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.
