SUPPLIES ARE VERY LIGHT flaying I Principally Tor California Account Other Grades Not in Such Request Coarse Grains Are Slower. Th lo.-al thNl market la netting close lo the dollar mark. The demand Just now ! tlmoit wholly for hluestem. of which the supply Is small. Local holders generally are not disposed o sell, even at $1. At the Merchant- Eschanite yesterday there was a sale of .too tons of bluestem to a Cali fornia miller, and while the price was not made public. It wa known to be high. Another small lot of bluestem sold on fan Francisco account at 5 cents f. o. b. and there has been some business In a small my in the country on the basis of U'J'i cents here. Most of the bluestem now chancing hands Is for shipment to the South. Export values are considerably un der this figure and even the quotation of IK&S7 cents, made by the leading shippers. l said to be above the export basis. Aside from the demand for bluestem there was not much inqulry. Trivate cables reported some Improvement la foreign grain markets. The Merchants' ISxrhange reported Argentine shipments for the week at 414. o' busiiels as compared with 5l4.ooit bushels las: wee. The trade In oats and barley was slower than It has been for some time past, but former prices were firmly maintained. The new local Tour prices, which will g Into effej-t this morning will show an ad vance of 20 cents In patents and 10 cents In atraights and Valley grades. The hay market was steady yesterday at the former range of prices, except on alfalfa, which advanced $1 per ton to tl.'l. Local receipts. In cars, are reported by the Merchants-.

About 40.000 Bale Were Sent East in linrt Three Month of Seaeon. Since the opening of the crop year, hop shipments from Oregon have aggrcgaitd 3!.!7 bales, or 57:U bales less than were shipped In the corresponding period last year. The decrease Is the consequence of the lighter demand for hops' this year. The shipments for the first three months or the current season compare with the movement In the same period last year as follows. ' 19n 1!07. 2(17 1i.:i;'.T 21.;I76 September October . .

HOOD RIVF.R APVLKS IX XKW YORK Market la . Firm on Western Bostork With Few Sellers. The condition of the New York market for Western apples Is reported by the Fruitmena Oulde of November 2S. as fol io s: in the local market the tone was firm on 11 tha Hood River and Western box stock. Some sales of Hoof Klver were reported at the close up to .X .".0 per box In a small wav. and while as a rule S3 was given as the outside quotation there were few sellers willing to sell small lots at the figure. Here and there a little business In fancy Jons thana was noted op to $4 per box. There were some Spltxenbergs In boxes that -soid out at 3 to 1:1.2.1 per box. The holders are not disposed to force the market on tha fancy box apples in spite of the ratber liberal arrivals. Covering the general range on the Hood Rivers the market was quoted at from $2 to $" per box as to slie. grade and variety. The other far Western box applea sold at from f 1.2-1 to 2.75 per bushel box In a jobbing way. SHIP KCAI.KS WITH -POTATOES. Ore ham Fanner Can Prove Their Weight Are Correct. There is no Improvement in the potato rrarkft either here or In San Francisco. There Is some local buying In a small Job bing way. but shippers are not operating freely. The latest San Francisco advlcea report a dull and overloaded market. According to a San Francisco letter re ceived yesterday, a car of potatoes that hud been shipped by a number of Oresham farmers was unloaded there a few days ngo. The quality of the potatoes was alt right, but what astonished tha receivers was to find the shippers scales aljo in the car. Whether the shippers merely overlooked them or distrusted the scales used by the California potato men Is not clear. JArAM-.SK OK.l(.ES SELL WKI.U Apples Continue Weak rnder 1-ars.e Suppllea. Yesterday's fruit receipts consisted of a car each of oranges and bananas, the latter in fine condition. Japanese oranges are. c'eanlng up well. Anotjier shipment of about 20O0 boxes is due next week. The apple market continues easy under plentiful offerings. The general run of prices on the street is 00 cents to $1.00 per box. though an occasional fancy lot goes at a higher price. Among the vegetaftla arrivals was a car of Los Angeles celery. Small truck was in aufTlclent supply and In good demand. Eggs Slower hut Firm. While the egg market is very firm and will doubtless continue so as long as re ceipts ar small, the movement has become lighter all around because of the elvatrd prices. The demand for poultry was active yester day, chickens and ducks especially being asked for, and prices were firm. Goese moved slowly and there was not much call for turkeys. There were no naw features In the butter er cheese markets. Change In Provision. A few slight changes In the provision list are noted In a new price card Just Issued. Short clear backs.

CHANGE IN ITS TEMPER Forthcoming Presidential Message Expected to tie Mild as Regards Attitude Towards Corpora tions Money Firmer. ' NEW YORK. Dec. 4. The restraint under which operation for higher price In the Mock market have labored during the week wa thrown off to a large extent today, and the advance wa resumed with more appear ance of harmony than the movement has shown for many days. The change In the temper of the market was not explained by any striking Item of news, although there as much discussion on the floor of the Stock Exchange of the supposed content of the forthcoming mes sage of President Roosevelt. The word -was passed around that the tone of the mes sage was mild and that It contained noth ing calculated to frighten the most timid speculator. It was also announced that a modlncation of the Sherman antl-trufct law would be asked for to provide against Its application to other than unreasonable com bination In restraint of trade, and so open the way to allow agreement among rail roads on rates. The action of the market owed something to the relief afforded by the speculative liquidation already effected and of which there wa evidence of a subsidence today. This was notably true of United Sta.tcs Stiel, in which the selling Jia been perslBtcnt throughout the w-eck. The freedom with which that stock advanced, although to a moderate extent, was of material effect in shaping sentiment on the whole market. Lower priced stocks continued a prominent feature and in some of these the only rea son advanced for volatile upshoot was the activity of market pools which had accumu lated large amounts of chosen stocks and were holding them out of the market for higher prices. The Gould group, led by Wnhash pre ferred, was a conspicuous feature of the dealings. Great Northern preferred -A-as the leader of 'the high-priced stocks. The money market continued stiffer than of late In reflection of the large demands making upon banking suppliee, rates for call loans ranging higher than since Janu ary, when the money market waj Just emerging from abnormal condition follow ing the panic and the premium on currency w-as but newiy established. The speculation appear entirely unapprehensive and confi dent that the Interval will be easily bridged to the period of disbursement of Jantiaty Interest and dividend money. Preparations were in progress today for participation in the Panama Canal bond Issue, for which subcrlptions to the amount cX X30.000.0O0 are to be opened tomorrow. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value. $6,330,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
