Fruit Firmer Tone In Wheat
Market Subsidence of
Activity In Hops.
Oregon Italian prun.s a re the active fea
ture of the dried fruit market in the Eait.
The demand, so long awaited. Is now making
Itse'f flt. It la reported that sale have
ben made of a good max y car for hip
nint from tha state to Eastern markets
on a 3t4-cent f. o. b. bag hals for straight
A's, an4 A-rent basis for equal quantities of
8 and 4C. The demand appear chiefly
for the latter size, the proportion of which
In thli Maron't crop was relatively small.
Of the condition of the spot prune market
In the East the New York Journal of Com
merce eara:
'The conpuminc demand for spot Ore iron
Italians, which wa Inclined to drag a while
ago. is now hrlrtt. Kant Side Jobbers report
ing a very satisfactory business in point of
the number of orders1 they are receiving;. A
fair Jobbing buslnera Is being done in Cali
fornia prunes on the root, but there Is little
Interest shown In offering- for shipment from
the Coast, and while the statistical situation
there Is stronger tban It has been In many
past eeasona at this time, the market seems
to be unsettled by the efforts of some hold
ers to get orders. There are no open offer
ing, however, on less than a 3c f. o. b. bag
basts for the Ave sires. 5 to 90s. In Sonoma,
or SWo basis, for Santa Clara fruit, but on
a firm ofTer It Is possible that some conces
sion might be made on the leas desirable
s'zes. The premium of a half to three-quarters
of a cent on 4fe la maintained, and It Is
difficult to And sellera of SOs. either In
straight lots or In combination with other
slses. at any price."
FIRMER miJNC IN WHEAT MARKET.
Holders Lraa Inclined to Sell. With Im
provement at Other Points.
There was a muoh better feeling In the
wheat market yesterday In consequence of
the Improvement In the Knot and abroad, and
holders were less inclined to part with their
stinks at the prices lately offered. The
Merchants Exchange's London cables quoted
Walla Walla cargoes quiet but firmer at 37a.
and December options at Liverpool closed d
higher than the last prices of the previous
day May and July wheat made good gains
at Chicago.
(t and bar'.ey in the local market were
quoted strong, with offerings on a small
scale. The hay market was about steady.
The following bid and asked prices were
reported at the Board of Trade:

HOP BVT1NO rOMFS TO A STOP.
Klaber. Wolr Jfetter Withdraw From the
Market.
The nop market Battened out completely
ve.terd.ay so far a. activity was cr.n
HrnS L Klaber. Wolf Netter withdrew
from tb. market and made no Pu"h"f
during the day. " was any buying an
nounced by other Portl-nd dealers. It was
reported that Kola Nel. "cured the
Hedges Davidson lot at Independence for
shipment to London at cent. -c
and It was also .aid that H. U Bent,
was in the market with offers.
' The recent buying flurry has had the
effect of stiffening tbe grower, consider
ably There are fewer hops offered on
the market now than last week and holders
generally demand better prices. That l
probably the reason for the cessation of
buying and bears out the assumption that
the lata operations were for speculative ac
count. Recent Hop IeaN at Get-vale.
GERVAIS. Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.)
There have been a number of hop sale,
here the paat few days. John Mills sold
125 bale, to Henry U Bent, at 6c. Jo
seph Ruben, .old to Ed. C. Herren Co.
at "He M. J. Kepplnger .old S3 bale, to
Kola Nel. at 5c There Is more of a dis
position among growers to soli than has
been manifest for some time past, owing
to the pressure of demand, for settlement
cf accounts.
CHICKENS WEAK AT LOWER PRICES.
Rreeipta Large and lemand Light Other
Poultry Moves Well.
The chicken mark6t was rather demoral
lxed jesterday. Receipts were large and
at the same time buying was lighter than
usual, the large retailer, practically being
out of the market. Aa a result prices of
hens and mixed chickens were lower. The
demand for springs, especially small ones,
continued good. Ducks, geese and tur
keys sold readily.
The egg market was weak. A few deal
era still quoted 4214c but the general quo
tation on the street was 40r4lc for Oregon
ranch, with some small sales reported under
4"c. Buying was not spirited, as the high
prices have checked consumption.
The butter market was quoted steady
to Arm at last prices. Cheese was firm,
with a good demand.
' Japanese Orange. Due Today.
Two shipments of Japanese oranges are
due today and will be offered at ?5c per
box. an advance of 10c over the price of
the first shipment. California oranges were
in good demand at firm prices. Bananas
are cleaning up well.
There was a fair demand for green truck
of all kinds. Firm prices are quoted on
everything brought up from California.

BUY STOCKS BACK
Improvement in Prices Is the
Result.
COVER SHORT CONTRACTS
Diminished Resources of the Money
Market Still Restrict Speculation.
Placing of Pennsylvania's
Steel Rail Order.
NEW TORK. Dec. Is. There was con
siderable repurchasing of stocks today, more
generallx. by those who had sold yesterday
and the day before. A recovery In price,
was the consequence. The market, however,
continued narrow and professional, much
of the buying being attributed to the cover
ing of short contract, put out during the
previous selling. The upward movement
was encouraged by some of the events of
the day.
The speculation Is still restricted by the
diminished resource, of the money market
and the situation In that respect remained
the principal subject of consideration. Trss
position has not reached that of stringency,
such as forces out speculative share-holding,
by calling of loans, but available re
source, are required for other purpose, than
speculation to an extent that limits the
operations to sustain an advance in prices
on a scale that has proved effective all
through the year's rise. The level of In
terest rates, both on call and on time, has
now reached a higher figure than at any
time since January last, when conditions In
the New York market returned to normal
for the first time after the panic and the
premium on currency first disappeared. The
present condition causes sufficient tightness
In the money market to remove the arti
ficial stimulus to speculation which grew
out of the bulky action of Idle fund. In bank
reserves. Artificial support. of prlcea. there
fore, becomes more expensive and more
hazardous. The large requirements which
confront the money market for other pur
poses than stock market operation, make it
likely that advancing lntenest rates will con
tinue until the end of the year. This Is the
main factor In restricting activity In the
stock market.
The local allotment of the Braxllian cof
fee loan was so largely subscribed that the
lists were closed as soon as opened. The
International exchanges were held away
from the point of profit on further ship
ments of gold to Pari, and the maintenance
of higher money rate, here seems sufficient
to check this movement. It la believed that
any severe rise in money rates would bring
finance bills Into the exchange market.
The official announcement of the placing
of the year's orders for .teel rail, by the
Pennsylvania Railroad was an important
event, owing to the long discussion that
has gone on between the parties over the
specifications In the contract. The waiting
of this settlement has been given as a mo
tive for holding up of orders for materials
all through the railroad world which. It la
assumed, will be released now. Special
strength was shown today by the electrical
companies and this wa. supposed to have
some connection with this expectation. The
rumor was revived, also, of the coming re
tirement of Reading second preferred stock
by exchange Into common and first preferred
stock In equal proportions. The projected
Increase In the common dividend was also
hinted at. but the declaration of only the
regular dividend did not seem to weaken
the stock. The declaration of the regular
dividends on the various Vanderbllt Rail
road stocks seemed to be of helpful effect
on those stocks, although no suggestion of
other action has been heard fur a long
time.
An unusual feature of the day's dealing,
was the almost oomplete Idleness of the
trading In the Intervals between the spurts
of active buying. These Idle period, allowed
prices to Bug back from neglect, .0 that the
day', gain, are .mall outside of exceptional
cases.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par

BUT MARKET IS NERVOUS
Improvement In the Flour Trade Is
the Principal Cause of Its
Strength Foreign Mar
kets Also Better.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16. The wheat market
was a nervous and narrow affair, with
prices gradually working to a higher level,
the top point of the day being reached
late In the session. The close was strong
at almost the highest point, final quota
tions on May being at $1,064 and on July
98 4 98 4 e. The market was strengthened
early In the day by a report of liberal
sales of flour over night at St. Louis, but
this report wa. later denied. A report
from Kansas City, claiming that miller,
were active bidders for cash wheat In
Missouri and Southern Illinois, was largely
responsible for the late firmness.- The
strength of foreign grain market, was an
additional bullish Influence. Commission
houses and local shorts were the principal
buyers throughout the day and selling was
scattered.
Corn was firm early in the day. May
closed at 62ic and July at 614614c.
Cash corn was steady to 4 c lower.

were at 62 4 32 4c and on July 474c.

at the close were a shade to 7 4c below
