Falling Off.
CAUSE OF DULL HOP TRADE

Markets Are Firm Light
Trade In Poultry.
The lack of Interest shown ny Eastern
brewers In Orfra hops l! explained by the
returns from the brewery trade for the sea
on to date. The Government figures of
her production In November, which were
Issued yesterday, showed an even greater
shrinkage than was recorded In October.
The decr-ase In output laft month, aa com
pared with the correspond!:;: month of
1!W7. was 37B.S barrel, while the com
parison with November, l&oa. shows a loss
of 3'.'S.6'JS barrels for the eleventh month

Tn addition to the unsatisfactory con
dition of their business, many of the brew
ers are carrying a surplus stock or old hops
and others have provided for their current
wants by forward contracts. None seem
disposed to stock up against the future
while their sales are running so far behind
last year s, even with prices down to a
bedrock basis
Although the American business Is poor.
thre is a fair amount of foreign buying
In the Oregon market, which keeus ud a
certain degree of activity all the time. The
largest purchaser for export account yester
day was Kola Nels. who was reported to
have secured, among other lots. 170 bales
from TV. M. Porterfleld. of Independence;
515 bales from J. R. Cooper, of Indepen
dence; two lots aggregating about 10
bales from Walling, of Salem, and 00 bales
fr- m Adelman. of OTvals. H. L. Bents,
mlso a London buyer, bought the Crulk
shsnk lot of 120 bales at Gaston. Other
buyers Id the market were Julius Wolf and
the Seavey Hop Company.

The holiday poultry market practically
came to a close Wednesday, so there was
little done In this line on Front street yes
terday. The few turkeys that arrived were
used for fllllng-ln orders and sold at the
firm prires of the oarly part of the week
Some of the leading dealers reported that
hey could have used mere. Live poultry
of all kinds was slow.
The general tone of the egg market was
rather weak In view of the limited buying,
which has caused an accumulation In some
quarters.
Futter was quoted steady by the city
creameries, but there was more pressure to'
sell outside creamery on Front street. A
considerable shipment of Coos Boy butter
was received.

CLOSING UP DEALS
Little Desire to Speculate
With Holiday at Hand.
STOCK TONE IRREGULAR
Rumors of Deals Still Hare an Im
portant Effect on Sentiment.
Sharp Fall In Wabash.
Bonds Are Active.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24. With a closed In
terval of three days In prospect on account
of the holidays from tonight until Monday,
there was little disposition to operaNe on a
large scale In stocks. Committments were
unimportant and the day's business was
largely devoted to closing up contracts al
ready open.
This seemed to operate both ways In the
market, serving to Illustrate the decided
confusion in which speculative sentiment
stands at present. Short covering was in
evidence In some stocks which were left
over from tho active soiling earlier in the
week. In other quarters there waa liquida
tion of long accounts. In the case of some
of the stocks which have figured In the
week's dealings there were rumors that the
selllrhr caused a very unstable condition of
prices. A counteracting movement appeared
In other quarters where the doal rumors
extended and advances were made In stocks
that have not responded hitherto to the fact
that they are available for possible junc
tion with larger railroad systems. '
Belief that very extensive amalgamations
ana In prospect In the railroad world, es
pecially In the Southern section, continued
a dominating influence In the market. There
was a pronounced movement also In the
Vandorbllt group in pursuance of the sup
position that .an early entry. Into active di
rection of the affairs of that property will
be made by E. H. llarrlman. The railroad
equipment stocks responded to reports of
resumption of mill activities of some of
these properties. American Smelting was
weak and showed the continuing effect of
the formidable competition said to be or
ganizing in its field of Industry. United
States steel was also inclined to be heavy
and was affected by the moderate rate of
expansion reported to be in progress in the
steel Industry.
The sharp fall in the Wabash stocks rep
resented partly profit-taking sales on the
advance which has occurred on the strength
of reports of an approaching "deal" af
fecting this property. These stocks were
weakened also by reports of the withdrawal
of the company from the trunk line agree
ment and its determination to cut freight
rates to the seaboard. The recent dif
ferences of this same company with other
lines over Pittsburg and Chicago passenger
business, joined to the present develop
ments, created the Impression of a new de
parture In policy which was of disturbing
effect.
The demand for call loans to carry ovr the
prolonged holiday caused no disturbance in
the money market and this left without much
effect the indications of continuing Increase
in the banking reserves. Evidently the In
creasing need of this center has drawn
funds from the interior, the Movement In
favor of New York on balance since the
last bank statement having reached about
$2,500,000. The Subtreasury operations have
taken over $7,000,000 from the banks In the
same time. Not only has the Interior sent
cash to New York during the week, but
lending In this market by Interior banks has
been a feature of the money market.
The decline In condition of the Bank of
England, reported today, was unusually
violent, even for this season, but the Lon
don money market was little affected and
the price of gold was lowered there.
The price movement of stocks manifested
a good deal of confusion in the later deal
ings and was sluggish and Irregular.
In the bond market, beside the active
dealings of a speculative complexion, there
were traces of reinvestment demand in some
of the high-grade, seldom-active bonds.
The tone was Irregular. Total sales, par
value. 8. 2(6. 000. United States bonds re
mained unchanged on call for the week.

HQLIOAY TRADE IS LARGE
Uff-IXESS MUCH BETTER THAN
A YEAR AGO.
Movement In Wholesale and Jobbing
Lines Is Seasonably Quiet.
Collections Are Fair.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24. Bradstreel's to
morrow will say:
Holiday trade expanded further and
reached its maximum this week, with a ma
jority of cities reporting this class of busl
ness'larger than a year ago. A few cities
even report the volume larger than In 1906.
though qualifying this by saying that the
aggregate money value Is smaller, owing to
cheaper grades of goods bought. In whole
sale and jobbing lines the week has been
a quiet one. with the possible exception
of staple wools, which have been sold well
at the highest prices of the year.
All interest In wholesale lines is largely
centralized In inventories and calculations
as to the entire year's business. As to this
latter, there is very general agreement that
while business In the latter months of the
year helped to swell the turn-over, there la
a perceptible decrease, ranging from 5 to
20 per cent in the volume of value of busi
ness done In 1907 and 1906. There Is also
general agreement that the profits have
been decreased, owing to the prevalence of
small orders throughout the year and cut
ting of prices to attract business.
Reports as to collections are not ma
terially changed from last week, and the
number of cities reporting payments slow
or only fair exceeds that reporting normal
or good receipts.
' The iron trade Is marking time, as usual
at this season of the year.
Business failures for the week ending
December 23 in the United States (five days)
number 196. against 311 last week, and 24s
In the like week of 1907.
Wheat, including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week
ending December 23. aggregated 3.024,591
bushels, against 5.645. 2S5 the last week and
6.554.190 this week last year. For the 26
weeks ending December 23 this year, the ex
ports aie 112,855.423 bushels against 113.
976.273 In the corresponding period last
year. '
IRON AM STEEL OITI'LT INI KE.V-a.XG
Commodity Price) Gradually lUslug Hides
Are Firmer.
NEW YORK. Dec. 24. R. G. Dun ft Co.'S
-weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Retail sales have been large, both of
holiday goods and staples, but seasonable
dullness Is noted In Jobbing and wholesale
lines Fall River mills and some other man
ufacturing plants closed from Thursday
night to Monday morning, but many "shops
had too many orders on hand for an ex
tended lay-off.
The output of Iron and steel Is steadily
Increasing, blast furnaces at Gary being
added to the active capacity this week.
Little change occurred In prices, most com
modities rising where any alteration Is
found. Aside from the complaints from the
South, attributed to the low price of cotton,
trade reports Indicate much greater activity
than a year ago.
Retail trade in dry goods was not large at
the East, but very faorable reports are re
ceived from the West. The brief spurt in ex
port trade was not maintained, no further
interest being shown by China, while the
only new business Is In small orders for
prints from Manila and South America.
More lines of woolens have been opened with
fairly good results.
A steadier tone Is noted In packer hides
and country stock Is also firmer. Cattle re
ceipts have decreased and seasonable deteri
oration In Quality of hides is not accom
panied by a corresponding decline In prices.
On the other hand, foreign dry hides are
weaker.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 24. (Special.)
Business was dull today in the produce mar

of eleventh hour supplies and most of them
kept away from the street all day. One
large wholesale butcher had to go on the

previously contracted for. Turkeys were
quite finrf today, some fancy stock selling
as high as 25 cents.

tinued firm the entire day. although senti
ment was a little less bullish late in the
session. At the close May sold at $1 06"4
1.07. and July at 9Sc. The bulge at tho
start was due to an advance of 374C In
Liverpool, which was caused by reports of
delav to harvest operations in Argentina
by rains. Shorts were active bidders early
in the day. but as the session advanced
demand became less urgent and trade was
Inclined to drag. Late fn the day the de
cline of 2 cents In the price of December
delivery at New York had a bearish in
fluence. No export business was reported
for today, but Duluth claimed that bids
were near a working basis.
The corn market was strong early in the
day. but weakened during the final hour
and closed easy, with prices a shade to Vsc
lower than yesterday's close. May closed
at 60T,c and July at 60 61c.
Oats were strong during the first part
of the day on renewed buying by cash in
terests, but weakened later ' the session
and closed at a net decline of c. with
May selling at 51S51ic and July at
46 Sc.
Realizing sales caused weakness in pro
visions, final quotations being unchanged

At one or two banks the idea of a pres
ent to the force of ' clerks, in apprecia
tion of their faithful services and evi
dence of cordial relationship, was rather
lightly treated. . One severe-looking of
ficial when asked what the custom is in
his institution with reference to Christ
mas, scowled and said: "We close the
bank and allow our employes the whole
day to themselves." That brand of
Christmas sentiment was confined to the
one Institution, and probably to the one
man. Dickens' Scrooge came to mind
during the interview.
With that one exception, the bank of
ficials when asked about holiday soft
ened the stern expression of their coun
tenances and talked freely of the day of
"glad tidings" and looked off into space
as though seeing happy homes with the
clerks of the bank at the head of the
Christmas dinner table.
Employes of the United States National
were presented with cheeks to amounts
equaling one-half of their monthly sal
aries. The Bank of California employes re
ceived amounts, that one of the re
cipients said were for handsome sums
and probably as large as any banking in
stitution in the city.
The Merchants National made presents
of the usual percentage of salaries to all
its employes.
The German-American officers gave
checks to the employes, but did not de
sire the amounts made public.
Ladd & Tilton reported that presents
would be distributed, but declined to say
anything further concerning the char
acter or amounts of the gifts.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon all
the 24 office employes of Hartman &
Thompson met in a jollification and the
firm distributed presents to each. The
married employes received some house
hold gift and the others handsome gifts
in the form of jewelry or keepsakes.
No observance of the day is customary
at the First National, as It Is usual with
the directors of the institution to take
some action at its last meeting of the
year to make advances In salaries and
in some instances vote bonuses to em
ployes. The Canadian Bank, of Commerce
makes a distrubution to the employes
of the ISO branch banks at the close of
its year, wnich is early in December.
At the banks not mentioned, the of
ficials said they did not desire publicity
regarding their Christmas custom.
