fllE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1903.
S
Business Expands in the Ore
gon Market.
FOREIGN AND HOME TRADE
Operations In California and the
East 'Wheat Trices Hold Their
' Own Cheese Will Ad
Tance Today.
There sras a considerable Increase in the
Yoluma of easiness In the hop market yes
terday. It does not appear to have been
occasioned so much by a growth of the
demand as by a willingness on the part of
sellers to meet th views of buyers. The
vales reported aggregated more than 1100
bales. A number of deals Involving fairly
large lots wer-3 under way and may be
closed today. Yesterday's business was for
both export and domestic account.
Henry L. Bents operated heavily, secur
ing close to BOO bales In the Woodburn.
11 vert on and Mount Angel sections at prices
tanging from i to EH cents.
Julius Pincua bought the Lee Loy lot of
117 bales at Champoeg at (H cents.
McNeff Brothers bought "SB bales from C
Kurd, of Eugone. at 6 cents, and another
Eugene lot of 52 bales at the same price.
Two sales of 1907 hops were reported at
Vs cents. The lots were among the best
of last year's crop left in tho state. One
res the Otto Hansen lot of 1:7 bales at
Crowley, bought by Jack Carmlchael. and
the other the Finney lot of 171 bales at
Erodks. secured by Mlschler. of Aurora.
San Francisco advices noted the purchase
of 130 bales of California hops by T. A.
XJvesley A Co. at C cents.
A London letter received by a local dealer
tated that Clem Worst Is Ailing some of
his English contracts with English Instead
of Pacific Coast hops. The effect that this
will have on conditions here will depend on
tho extent of Horn's operations along this
Una.
Market conditions in New York are re
torted by the Watervllle Times of December
1. as follows:
There has been a steady buying on this
market during the past few days and a
large number nf lots have changed bands.
Among these are the William Smith and C.
I Terry growths which are. among the
largest and choicest In this vicinity. These
crops have been firmly held and it Is said
their owners refused l3 cents for them a
few weeks ago. The fact that they were
sold for 12? cents would indicate that
there was a little easier feeling on the mar
ket. There are still a number of choice lots
held here which cannot be purchased at
present rates.
Between 200 and 30O bales of common
to medium hops were picked up In "the vi
cinity of Deansboro for from 10 to 104
cents. Saturday and yesterday. This brisk
buying Is looked upon by some as an Indi
cation that there will be a better market In
the near future both as to demand and
prices.

prices today of from j to 1 cent, twin

MARKET
LUCKS SNAP
Fluctuations in Stock Prices
Are Narrow. .
TRADE IN VERY FEW HANDS
Operators Take a Conservative
View of Year-End Speculation.
Redistribution of Stock Hold
ings Since Recent Panic.
NEW YORK. Dec. 7. The stock market
narrowed perceptibly In lta speculative scope.
Market pools operated by fits and starts in
choeen stocks. In the body of the list the
operations were almost entirely in the hands
of the room traders, who conducted their
transactions with great circumspection. The
lack of decision In any of the day s move
ments reflects accurately tho speculative sen
timent prevailing for the moment.
Enough motives for conservation are per
ceived In the possible course of events over
the end of the year to prompt a waiting at
titude. The ccn-lctlon Is very general that
whatever slight firmness Uiere' may be In the
money market la connection with the ap
proach of the end of the year and Its many
requirements, the turn of the year will see
a relaxation to even greater ease. The ois-
bursement of the yearly Interest and dividend
money Is counted upon to revive an active
Investment demand. The element In the
speculation which takes this view of the out
look expects the stock market to mark time
or fluctuate narrowly uatil the end of the
year and then take up a vigorous advance
again.
There were no developments today to throw
very clear light oa the course of affairs.
Some compilations published by the Journal
of Commerce of average stock holdings made
up from a canvass of a large number of rail
road and Industrial corporations give soma
indications of the re-distribution of holdings
which resulted from the upheaval of the past
year. From these It appears that 40 Indus
trial corporations, in which the average num
ber of stockholders was 4640 before the panic.
had increased this number to 7407 In Decern
ber a year ago and to 8506 now. For 25
railroad corporations the figure for the seme
periods were 4027 before the panic, 8443 in
December a year ago and 10.0S3 at present.
This Is a very strong showing of the ex
tent to which formerly concentrated holdings
of corporation shares have been scattered Into
smaller holdings In a larger number or nanas.
The; wider Interest from such a welfare of
corporations as Is to be Inferred trom tnis
showing Is counted upon to soften the tone
of public hostility towards corporations to a
considerable extent and so to Influence the
course of proposed legislation. It 1? evidence
of the alertness shown by a large class of
Investors to take advantage of the low values
which ruled during tho past year. The ab
sorption of the floating supply of shares la
the stock market thus effected formed a sub
stantial foundation on which to start the ex.
tensive rise In prices which has occurred
since. As to how far holdings havs been re
distributed since as a result of the attraction
of the hlih nrlces brought about In th spec-
ulatlon only suppositions can be made. The
shifting of purely speculative noldlnga, aieo,
which do not often figure on the stock trans
fer books of corporations, has no light thrown
on it bv these figures.
The publication of the Government's De
cember 1 estimate of the condition, of the
"Winter wheat crop was an event of some lm
portance. The real significance of the 86.8
condition reported Is somewhat ooscurea oy
the active speculative conditions in the wheat
market and the exaggerated estimates of ths
damage done to the plant by private experts
last week. Tne violent break In the price of
wheat, which followed the appearance of the
report, was due to the previous advance
based on these reports.
The commencement of dividends at the rate
of 4 per cent on Wisconsin Central preferred
stock was a sustaining factor In keeping alive
speculative interest in that class of stocks
which have furnished the features of the
market for some time past.
Paris again took the available supply of
gold In London and discounts advanced there.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$4.384i0O0. -United States bonds, registered,
advanced H per cent on call.

EGOS LOWED AT SEATTLE
BUTTER ALSO MOVES SLOW BE

ment Inspectors Expected.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 7. (Special.)
Eggs were weaker here this morning and
during the day considerable fresh stock
was sold as low as 50 cents, although that
quotation was not general.
Butter Is just steady. The feature of
the market Is the large quantities of East
ern butter being used., owing to th higher
prices of the local product. Local butter
dealers look for a visit from Government
Inspectors who are thought to be working
In the Northwest looking into ths uses of
oleomargarine and renovated butter.
Grapes are about out of the market, what
stock is available being held at $1.25 to
$1.75, according to quality.
Two cars of oranges arrived today. Th
fruit was riper than any that has reached
here this season. Bananas are moving well.
Apples are lower. Dealers ha'-e hard work
to get even $2 for any except the very
fanciest stock. ,

Wheat Market Breaks Badly
at Chicago.
BEARISH CROP REPORT
Acreage Shown to Be Far Ijarger
Than Was Expected Weekly
Statistics Also Add to
the Depression.
( '
CHICAGO. Dec. 7. Announcement of the
estimate made by Government ofnclals re
lating .to the condition of and tho acreat.
sown to Winter wheat In the UnlteS States
was made at the noon hour and was the
occasion for active selling of wheat on the
local exchange the remainder of the day.
As a result of this general selling, prices
declined from lc to 2c from the
high point of the day, the May and July de
liveries showing the greatest losses. Lead
ing bulls apparently gave the market no
support and the principal buying was done
by shorts and commission houses. Accord
ing to the official statistics the condition
of the crop was placed at 85.8 compared
with a ten-year average of 92, and the to
tal acreage was estimated at $9,884,000
acres, a much larger acreage than was gen
erally expected would be shown. The mar
ket was also weakened by an Increase of
2.242,000 bushels n the visible supply of
wheat In the United States. Prior to the
publication of tho Government report, the
markot was fairly steady and trading was
Inclined to drag. The market closed at
the low point for all deliveries, December
being at $1.04, May at $1.08, and July
at $1.01 X. , -
Corn was weak all day. Final quota
tions on December were 6060c, and on
May 6262c.
Oats were dull and weak. The market
closed at the bottom, with prices c to c
below Saturday's final quotations. Decem
ber being at 49l&49c and May at 52c.
Provisions were weak. Arrivals of live
hogs here today were estimated at 76,000
head. At the close, prices were down 7

PILOT ROCK ENJOYS BOOM
Extensive Building Activity Since
Advent of Kailroad.
PENDLETON, Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
According to reports from Pilot Rock
the remarkable period of growth and
development which that town has been
enjoying since the advent of the rail
road, a year ago, bids fair to continue
indefinitely. " The Lodge of Oddfellows
is planning the erection of a brick or
stone block, two stories in height. The
lower story will be arranged for store
rooms, while the upper story will be
fitted up for lodge purposes. A build
ing committee has been appointed to
select a site and when this is done the
plans and specifications will, be
drawn up.
Another important building to be
erected is a new hotel, to be built by
C. S. Brockway, on lots recently pur
chased by him in the north end of
town, and on the east side of Birch
Creek. This will be a two-story struc
ture, with at least 30 rooms on the
second floor. The estimated cost of
the building, according to present
plans, will be approximately $7000.
Several residences are also being
planned and it is believed that early
Spring will witness an unprecedented
activity in the residence building line.
