Andrew Kan reports that his entire holdings. 445 bales, have been con signed to the I.ondon market. English hop trade reporta bearing dates of December 7 to 9 follow: Cattley. Orldley ft Co., Iondon Trade during the past week has been quite as lively as usual at this time of year, al though the quality Inquired for Is extremely scarce. Choice quality is still wanted, and higher prices than previously ruled will be paid willingly if the quality can be found. Good medium hops are being picked over, and some speculative buying Is being in dulged In. present prices being far below the cost of production. Foreign markets are unaltered and at present little business has been done with 1'aclflc Coast hops on this market. Wild. N earns gt aVa., London Business during the past week has been somewhat restricted owing to the prevalence of fog, but there la a fair Inquiry for the time of year and good useful hops are command ing fuil rates.

London Business is somewhat quieter this week, and brisk demand is not expected to be resumed before the New Year, buyers being still on the lookout for any of the best qualities that may be still unsold, the demand for second grades continues, but business in tne lower qualities lias practically Mopped for the time being. CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES KVI'E.VSIVE J irm Market for All Produce From the South.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET. Fricea Current Iimlly on Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. The strongest teature of the livestock trade Is the cattle market. An exceptionally good demand prevails and any strictly fancy offerings would probably command a premium over the regular quotations. The tendency of the cattle market Is upward.

WALL STREET FEELS GOOD Stock Market Strong and Bonds Ad vance Under a Brisk Demand. Atchison's Favorable No vember Report. NEW YORK. Dec. 2S. The notable strength and breadth of the stock market today seemed to be based on a fresh realis ation of the favorable factors in the gen eral situation, rather than on any new de velopments. Evidently there has been some apprehension that there would be a tem porary scarcity of banking credlta during the period of the annual settlements that might restrict the resources on which apeculstive holders could rely to carry their holdings. The complexion of the bank statement. which appeared on Saturday during the closed inltrval of the Stock Exchange, was accepted as pretty definite assurance that the dreaded period of temporary scarcity- would be aafely bridged. The contradiction which has been effected In the clearing house Item of loans during the past two weeks has been concurrent with a recog nised expansion In the actual volume of banking credits, on which heavy demands have been made in that time, part of the new accommodation is clearly traceable In the renovated form of the weekly bank statement to the trust companies of New York City The speculative spirit was discernible In the bond market, as well as In stocks. In some bond Issues there was a scramble In evidence which caused as volatile a move ment in prices as ruled in stocks. In the Chicago. Rock Island ft Pacific collateral fis there was seen the spectacle, unusual In bond transactions, of "wide opening." sales being made of 00 of these bonds at prices ranging from 80 to 81 at the same Instant, while the last price at which this bond sold on Thursday was S8. The breadth of the bond market showed a demand of a sub stantial character. The reinvestment of sums which are to be disbursed as profits on capital aftr the first of the year Is often anticipated in this way. Rumors of coming deals In the railroad world were In circulation and found ready credence, owing to the conviction that a prevailing tendency of railroad policy waa in tnat direction. Atchison's report of net earnings for No vember made quite a brilliant showing of earning power and was taken as an earnest of other reports. The asking price of copper was raised at the New York Metal Ex change, with a strengthening effect on copper industrials. A sharp fall In the sterling exchange rata at pans was onset by lower London ex change here, leaving the gold export po sition little changed. Paris again took the available gold supply In the London market. The assignment of H. W. Poor ft Co.. an nounced during the holiday Interval, was totally ignorea. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par vaiue, t.Miu.uuu. Lnitea states 4s advanced per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing; Sales. High. Low.

Butter Is Quoted Weaker Eggs Slump, but Large .Alaska Order Is Expected. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 28. (Special.) Four thousand bundles of Japanese oranges arrived today, but were ln such condition that the fruit inspectora would not pass them without fumigation. Japanese oranges are In oversupply here and since the holi days are poor sellers. Some dealers fear that conditions will soon be as bad as last year unless shipments are diverted. Butter was weaker today, but- the best grades brought 37 cents. The weakness 10 due to the presence in the market of coa siderable California butter. Eggs slumped again, the top being 44 cents. Large quantities of fresh eggs are in the market and the demand is not very heavy. There was a rumor on the street, however, that an Alaska order is likely to be placed before the week ends for between 300 and 400 cases of fresh stock. A shipment of Mexican limes arrived today and are held at $6.50 per case. Large quan tities of green vegetables are In the market and slow sellers. QUOTATIONS AT SAN FRANCISCO.

OWING TO MAY SELLING Strength at the Start Caused by Wet Weather In Argentina, Which Delays Harvesting Operations. CHICAGO. Dec. 28. The wheat market opened strong with prices up a shade to Sc. but failed to maintain the initial firm ness, owing to the selling of the May de livery by a leading elevator Interest. The close was steady with May at $1.00 and July at 98 44 4i 98 c. Trade in general was small. The bulge at th start was due to further delay to harvesting In the Argen tine Republic, owing to wet weather, and to the smallness of world's shipments fore the week. Total shipments of wheat for the past week were 6.048.000 bushels, compared with 8.6OR.000 bushels the cor responding time a year ago. Aside from these Influences, no news of sufficient im portance drifted Into the pit to Inspire either buying or selling and in conse quence the market was a dragging affair the greater part of the day. No export business was reported and demand for cash wheat was slow. The feature of trade In the corn market was the liquidation of December holdings by local longs, which caused general weak ness in that option. Other deliveries were Inclined to be firm The market closed steady with prices c lower to c higher, with May at 61c and July at 6161c. Trade in oaia was very quiet. The mar ket was quite firm In the early part of the day but eased off later, closing steady with prices a shade higher to c lower. Final quotations on May were at 51 & 61c. and OB July at 40c.
