fiL FOR ONE FIRM
Heavy
Buying Continues in
Hop Market. '
IN ALL PARTS OF STATE
I'.vcry I'uri'lia Supposed to lie
Made for the .ccount of Klaber,
Wolf & Xettor Mystery
Surrounds the Deal.
There was no pause yesterday In the
activity of the hop tnirkrt. As was the
esse Saturday, nearly everything bought was
by or for Klaber, Wolf A Netter. Par
ticulars of their business were not obtainable
but It was understood their purchases dur
ing; the day amounted to about 1000 bales.
The priors paid were not known, except
In the caae of a few small lots, and these
were at the figures current last week. Th
buying- was don In nearly all sections, but
was heaviest around Sllverton.
The operations of the firm aroused th
greatest Interest In the Portland and Falem
trade and there were many jruesses as to
the reason for the heavy buying. The gen
erally accepted belief was that It was purely
for speculative account, though a few dealers
were of the opinion that the firm was buy'
Ing to cover Its contract requirements. M
Klaber would throw no light on the mystery.
The hopnn of Salem and Portland hav
been engaged In the past two weeks check
Ins; up their sample bots In order to
rlva at a definite estfmatp of the size of
this year's crop.
WHEAT PRICES ARE MAINTAIN En.
Loral Market Not Affected by Changes
Elsewhere.
The decline In foreign and Eastern whea'
markets yesterday would have Imparted an
easier feeling to the local market, but for
the lightness of supplies In this sectlcn.
There was some Inquiry for wheat from
Moxleo and Texas, but in general the mar
ket waa very quiet.
The coarse grains maintained their former
strong position. Prices above a parity with
the Portland market were reported paid
in the Interior for oats In small lots and aym
pathetic strength was given to the barley-
market.
Sales reported at the Board of Trade were
?i)0 tons of February-March oats at I32.V
and ?00 tons of March-April oata at $33.
Prices posted at tno Board were:

Southwestern emanl for Potato.
There is a moderate demand from South
; western points for Oregon potatoes at the
prices now current. This demand la likely
t to continue throughout tho season and ship
pers look forward to a good business with
lhat section unless prices are raised at this
end. which will make It impossible for
Western Oregon stock to get into those mar
kets. Farm Produce Is Slow.
The week opened quietly in the market
Tor farm produce. Receipts of poultry were
very light and the little stock that was
carried over from Saturday seemed suf
ficient for the demand. Eggs moved slowly
at last week's prices.
Firm conditions prevailed in the butler
and cheese markets.

portant being declines of half a cent ' In

NEW YORK. Dee. 14. Speculative oper
ations In stocks were restrained by the out
look In the money market, but In the
absence of actual withdrawals of credH
there was no Dr3ssure to sell The mark-
Ing up of prices here and there In the list
was a 'sustaining Influence and facilitated
what prom-taking sales were made with
out much effect on prices until a rudden re
lapse at the end, which wiped out in
gains.
There were a number of development
In the news which helped to advance prices
and these were supplemented by rumor
which got some acceptance. The report
the subtreasury operations revealed th
principal factor of depletion of bank re
serves In the rain of Saturday by that
Institution of $10,523,000. bringing the loss
of the banks to the Government for the new
banking week to $15.3:17.000. These changes
are due to the payments for subscription
to the Panama canal bonds, wnich are ex
pected to run through the present week
This sum. added to :he $3.90u.OO0 gold
shipped to Paris on Saturday, which has
not yet figured In the bank statement.
stands opposed to a surplus reserve of th
banks on Saturday of $16.8119.825. It 1
manifest, therefore, that further resources
for speculative operations are dependent on
a shifting or loan accounts.
Call money went ua. to 3!4 per cent
compared with 5 per cent last week as th
highest. The Braxllllan coffee loan. Issued
In London today, will be offered to New
lork participants to the extent of $10,000,
000 during the week. The sale of $5,000,000
bonds by Pennsylvania subsidiary compa
nies was announced during the day.
The possibility of a check to the gold
ouLgo was a factor in the strength show
by the gtock market. Much importance
was attached also to the filing of freigh
changes with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by the Trunk Line Association, th
Central Freight Association and the Trans
continental Freight Association, thus em
bracing all the principal railroads of the
country.
The astounding yield of the country
agricultural products, summarized In th
annual report of the DepRrtment of Agri
culture, made for cheerful views by the
property noiuers.
One of the day's incidents that had
sensational effect on the speculation was
me rise in me price or (Standard oil In th
curb market to above 700 for the first tlm
In over three years. A report that th-
Pennsylvania Railroad had placed Its stee
ran orovrs ror tne year was DromDtlv de
nied Dy tne president or tne railroad com
pai y. The Supreme Court decision, exempt
Ing E. H. Harrlman from the obligation to
answer queries of the Interstate Commerce
1 ommission. was regarded as a steD toward
rcKiriciun or ine power or tne commission.
American femeltlng was the weakest fea
ture ana was sold down to successive lower
stages from the general distrust of the price
ir.Ti cumpmpu witn earning power and ulvl
aend prospects. This, coupled with the
flurry to 3 per cent in call money, caused
toe late orenK in prices. A number of lm
portant declines was ftie result.
Total sales of bonds were s.t Aon nnn i-nl
ted States bonds were unchanged on call.

PROTEST RUDOWITZ ORDER
Chicagoans Ask That Russian Mur
derer Be Xot Extradited.
CHICAGO, Der. 14. Five meetings
were held here yesterday to protest
agrajnat the actloil of United States
Commissioner Foote In issuing an order
looking to the extradition of Christian
RudoTvitz, the Russian refugee. Sev
eral speakers declared that the action
of the Government is dictated by Amer
ican interests in Russian bonds and the
influence of Wall street.
Airs. May Wood Simons said:
"There would be no sentiment against
Rudowltz and other refugees today
were It not for the big Interest Ameri
cans hold in Russian bonds.
"Many of our financial interests are
closely- allied to Russia because of their
Investment in the bonds. An enormous
amount of American money was applied
