Aside Fmm Bents' Operations Market Opens
Quietly.
The week opened quietly tn the bop mar
ket, no transactions being reported locally
or from the country. The only sign of ac
tivity was In the McMlnnville section where
It. L. Bents was making offers. Mr. Bents
tste last week purchased the Lee Loy lot of
IPO bales at Gervals. but the price was not
learned. Andrew Kan reports that his
entire holdings. 445 bales, have been con
signed to the I.ondon market.

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.
W. H. ft H. Le May. Iondon There Is
more business passing in the best hops ob
tainable at current rates, choice hops are
getting into a narrow compass, medium and
Ic.wer qualities And some inquiry at rela
tive values.
Manger ft Henley, London There la still &
fair businesa being done in the good copper
hops, and some good-sized lots have re
cently changed hands.
Exchange and Hop Warehouses. 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.
Such California vegetables as the Port
lsnd market depends on at this time are

cents, sprouts at 10 cents and artichokes
at $1.40. a car of celery came In and was
held firmly at $4.50. Two cars of sweet
potatoes also arrived. Local hothouse let
tuce waa In better demand and higher.
Apples are selling well, ordinary varie
ties at 75 cents to $1 25 and fancy stock
at $2&3. the lat,ter price quoted on Hood
River Spltxenberps. Oranges are firm, es
pecially the large sixe. One car of oranges
and two cars of bananas were received
yesterday.
The onion market was no higher, but the

are expected tn the near future. Potatoes
w-ere qu'.et and about steady.
EGi QUOTATION IS f-HAIF.D.
Oregon Ranch Offered on the Street Vnder
40 Centa.
The sluggish movement in the egg mar
ket, which has caused stocks to accumulate
on the street for several days, led to shad
ing of prices yesterday. While a few deal
ers quoted Oregon ranch stock at 40 cents,
others dropped to 371! cents. Eastern eggs
were also quoted lower at 27S to 32H
centa
There was a good demand for chickens,
ducks and turkeys, of which receipts were

FUNDS NOT SCARCE
Annual Settlement Period Will
Be Safely Bridged.
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

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

BULGE AT OPENING
But Gain Is Not Maintained in
Chicago Wheat Pit.
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.
