THE 3I0Ityi-G OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, I9QS. -il INTEREST IN 'GRAIN Active Trading at the Mer chants' Exchange. ON SOUTHERN ACCOUNT Kxport Wheat Market Depressed by Cable Advices Choice Grades of TIops Hold Firm Produce Trade Is Light. A livelier interest In th grain market was shown at yesterday session of the Mer chants' Exchange. Among the sales oti the floor were 5X tons of wheat, two sales of barley aggregating 450 tons and a. small sale of oats. The demand for the coarse grains for California shipment continues good and there Is also a steady Inquiry trom the Fouth for wheat, which. Is expected ti show an increase soon. The export wheat market was Inclined to re depressed In view of the cable advices of the day. London reported cargoes dull and depressed with no buyers and Walla Walla j rompt shipment 3d lower at 37s 3d. December options at Liverpool were d lwer than Wednesday's close. Wheat at Chicago, however, was firm for all deliv eries. Shipments for the week from Argentina were 644,000 bushels, compared with 6fll.00 tushels last week and nothing from India against 2i,ny bushels last week. Local receipts, in cars, for the week to date, as reported by the Merchants Ex change, were; 21st and 2".t h and Total 21'nd 2"M 24th JTtjth last wek Wheat ...; .1 41 122 345 !rI-- ....13 4 15 ll!t H"ur IS ..

The rlrtstna- up of accounts in the Thanks giving turkey trade reveals the fact thai, notwithstanding the high price current, no one. In nil probability, made much money out of the deal except the growers. And pot all of the latter, either, for the farmers who fattened their birds with dollar wheat are nt likely to have been overburdened with prosperity a a consequence. Trie Iar:e city retailers and packers bough t their supplies In the country this ur and in do-ng so bid up the prices sc;iirt eai-h o'her, with the result that tti r' was not much margin left hen they got through. They likewise overbought, for the most part, and at the end had a carry -iver of rulU that represented a considerable shrinkage tn th'tr profits. 1 riis direct buying by the big handlers rut off l lie regular supply of the Front t ret jobbers and nnt of those who tried to HI' their orders only did so by buying .utrik-ht in the country. The quantity of t urkx s srnt In on cons'enment was ex i - c I i j 1 1; 1 small as compared with the quart titifs handled in previous years. The operations of the packers were an e"-open"r to the old-titne houses on Front tr-'et. who had no intimation of their move- trrnta or at least, paid no attention trf tuem. Hy shrewd work the packers gained an ad van t ago they are not likely to let K af and they w til have to be reckoned with in the hoiMny trade pf this, city in th future. They put the market on a cash ir.-t;id of a commission basis, in the busiest st-ason of the year, and it would ' surprise none if they followed tip the lead they opened In other than holiday periods. The poultry market yesterday was a nominal affair. There was considerable stork in all hands and no business to speak of. bTFADV I KM AND FOR CHOICE HOPS. Bus Poor rades Are Being Pressed lor bale. A steady domand continues for the best trade of hops, but there Is little doing In the lower qualities, which are under con siderable sWUng ptcssure. During the day Klabor, Wolf A Netter boutcht 200 baU-s In the Independence sec tion for export at 8 cents. The J. W. fceavey Hop Company bought 35 bales from Huntley A JtcAdams and 2 2 bales from B. E. Krjxjr. of Carlton, around 8 cents. A cable received by a local firm quoted the London market steady at unchanged prices. The following cable mas received by Laac IMncus A Son, from Ironmonger, at Lon don: "Martoet quiet, less doing. Only a few ienlers In the market- Urewers" trade dull." Manger Henley, of London, cabled to Isaac I'lncus & Sons: "Market dull: only f w buyers of Pacific Coast hops. No Im provement anticipated In near future." , ORWtiKS ARE Qt OTEU LOWER, rullfurnia Inquiry. For Potatoes, but Not at Prlrea Aked. The supply of fruits and vegetables was good yesterday, hut trade was of small pro portions. Very little fresh stuff came in xcpt applfs. and they are coming In svery day and are weak In price.

EASY TO LIFT THE MARKET SCrons Position of Values Shown by the Ignoring of' Unfavorable In Xluences Trade In Pro fessional Hands. SETT YORK. Nov. 27. The decrease in the activity of the market for .locks to day indicated the lapse Into professional hands of most of the dealings and the subsiding general interest on the part of the money Interests. The price movement on the diminished scale of activity indi cated a growth of confidence on the part of the professionals In the stability of prices. Stocks which were sold out on the eve of the ThankSRivlnpr holiday on the chance of unfavorable developments in the interval were re-purchased today. The renewed uneasiness over the eitua tlnn in the Balkans, which was causing de pression in foreign centers when dealings began here, was without influence in cheek ing the advancing tendency. There was no important selling pressure and this opened the way to the success of the efforts of tho room traders to lift prices along with their absorption of stocks, no Important news developed that explained the buying.- The expected financial plan for the South ern Factnc continued Jo play an Important part in the motives of the professional buvlng. but no progress, was made in any authentic knowledge ul what is the plan or of the actual existence of such a plan at all. Another motive for some of the not able movements was the expectation of de cisions In pending cases by the Supreme Court at Washington on Monday. This wns the avowed explanation of the wide advan-:e in the Consolidated Gas shares, the con test of .hat company against the 80-cent gas law being l:i the hands of the court for dec! ilon. Tl.e coalers are expected to be benefited bv the expected decision of the court In the case agreed upon to test the commodities clause of the Hepburn law. Another advance in the price of copper at the metal exchange and In the T,ondon markets dissipated the Impression that the market price or the metal was declining, owing to a falling off in the demand. He ports of large prospective orders for struc tural steel material and for steel rails had some stimulating effect on the shares of Industrial corporations connected with the iron and steel trade. Some of the Indi vidual advances were based on special causes, rumors of Intended dividend In creases figuring in one or two cases. Indicated declines foV the week In the cash holdings of the banks in the neigh borhood of $:.no0.OOrt seemed to be viewed with equanimity. Kesldes the Government operations, some demand for funds .has affected this result, transfers having been made to San Francisco by deposit with the sub-treasury. The Hank of France made a strong return and there was a shading In the discount rate there. The Bank of England authorities refrained from raising the minimum discount rate in soite of a considerable decline in the proportion of assets to liability, resort hav ing been made to the credits of the institu tion during the week. An advance in the discount rate had been looked for and the open market discount rate, in consequence, fell tiack to srme extent. Here the condi tion of the money market was not appre ciably changed, the six months' period, however, showing a slightly lower Interest rate. The foreign exchange market was firm hut rates were not quotatily changed. The most active trading of the day oc curred Just at the last and prices were then rising vigorously. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. Sft.l.-,o.o0n. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing ' Sales. High. low. Hid.

Condition of Fall-Sown Grain Re ported to Be Below That of a Vear Ago. CHICAGO, Nov. 27. The wheat market orened rather weak on .selling brought about by a moderate decline at Liverpool, price at the start being a t?hade to ytc lower than Wednesday's close. Within the first 15 min uts. however, a firmer tone developed and prices advanced more than he!f a cent above the opening price. The volume of trad dur ing the greater part of the day was email. An additional advance was recorded In the last half of the eesslon. but all of the gain was not maintained, although the close was strong, with December at $1.03 and May at ?l.fl8H51.U- News from, the Northwest furnished, the principal reason for the firm ness, although a report of a St. LouLs trade Journal, which claimed that the condition of the Fall-sown crop of wheat Is much below that of a year ago and that the acreage is considerably smalller had some effect. Fresh news regarding the Argentine crop was mea ger, but one dispatch stated that weather conditions were favorable for harvesting. De mand for cash wheat here was tame and a poor demand wai? also reported In the South west. New York reported new export bust ne aggregating 75 boatloads. Increased offerings of corn from Illinois and Iowa caused weakness in the corn mar ket, but the volume of trading was small. The market closed weak, with prices to c lower.

WHOLESALE TRADE GOOD Retail Business, However, Shows Irregularity Decrease in Num ber of Failures In the Week. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. Bradstreefs to morrow will say: Wholesale trade, crop and industrial de velopments are generally in the direction of Improvement; there is less idle machinery and the tone of affairs generally Is still cheerful, but there are numerous irregulari ties noted in conditions in different sections and industries. The situation as a whole, therefore, lacks some of the uniformity which characterized lt some time aso. Most optimism and strength are exhibited In the leading lines of domestic manufacture and wholesale trade, particularly as to the outlook for next year, and manufacturers are buying more freely of most raw materials, while wholesalers report evidences of scarcity In many lines, especially cotton goods, for Spring and later dellverx next year. In re tall trade there Is a good deal of irregularity, though the advent of rain and snow, fol lowed by colder weather, helped to Improve conditions as the week advanced. Collec tions are better, except at the South, and money Is in better demand for business pur poses. Higher prices for leather, a turn in the tide of shoe shipments, predictions ol freer buy ing of railway materials, of lrrrt and wteel and higher prices, with smaller sales of raw wool, are leading incidents- of the week. Failures in the United States for the week ending November 2 number I'M, against 273 lart week and As In the like week of 17, 17 la 1900. 188 In 105 and ItH in 1S04. Business failures In Canada for the week numbered 25, which compares with 34 last week and 46 in this week last year. Wheat. Including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing November 26 aggregate 4.836.342 bushels, against 8,599,314 law week and 5,4nf.321 last year For 22 weeks ending November -'6 this year the exports are 94.319,706 bushels against 90,4S2,818 In the corresponding period MANX MILLS ABE REOPENING. Substantial Progress Made Toward Normal Activity. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. Dun's review of trade tomorrow will say: Although the holiday and' unseasonable weather handicapped business this wjK. further substantial progress was made to ward normal commercial activity, especially In respect to the number of wage-earners employed in the leading industrials. MlilB that hav-s been closed for over a year are TO-opening and many plants that were on part time or force are now in full opera tion. Recovery Is making remarkable strides and almost every comparison with condi tions a year ago provides a reason for the day devot-ed to grateful recognition. One of the best features of the week was the demand for supplies. Steel rails were ordered moderately and many leading roads are ready to operate If the mills will roll according to special schedules at standard Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. Nov. 27.
