Refiners Are Engaged in Cut

hut Firm Market for Grain.
Important Hop Sale.
The unsettlement of tr Ka.'lem sugar
market Is the result of price cutting on the
part of several refiners who are trying" to
stimulate trarle and work off some of the
-cumulation of ototk. A factor In the
situation la the belief that the American re
finery will soon withdraw all forma of guar
antee. The Arbitrates have already taken a
-en In this direction. IMscuBSlnc the move,
the New York Journal of Commerce says:
The "guarantee" means that the buyers
re guaranteed by the- refiner against any
decline until the sugar they order Is deliv
ered. Grocers are sold on seven days' time
nd manufacturers on 30 days" lime, and If
for any reason the refiners do not deliver the
sugars within those, periods the guarantee,
against loss continue until delivery is actual
ly made, the conjmmer having the benefit
of any reductions that may be officially an
nounced In the meantime.
This matter of guarantee ha, been the
source of more trouble In sugar circles than
even the price cutting. refiners having
charged their competitors with utlng prom
ises! of delayed deliveries to secure large or
der that were never Intended to be delivered
In the resular way.
On the other hand, grocers have, according
to the refiners, been forcing delays In deliv
eries' to an extent that has convinced the
rftners that something must be done. "Gro
cers seem to have no honor whatever. said
leading refiner. "In the matter of living
tip to their contracts. It is nonsense to talk
about making special selling arrangements
with them: they will not live up to their
yresent arrangements and take the sugar
they have agreed to take."
FITCHARO BUY rEKflVAt. HOPS.
rtno Independence Lot Is Taken at rven
Tents.
The only development of Interest In the
hop market ye-ter.lay was the purchase by
Chsrlre U Fitrhard of 1TO hales from W. W.
PTClval. of Ir dependence, at 7 cents. No
rfrorts of buying hy other dealers were
made.
According to the Tendon Time the bill
recently Introduced In Parliament to pro
hibit the use of bop substitutes In brewing
and the Importation of hops' except In bags
p-operly marked eon.tsts or three elau!es. The
n-st clause provides that a brew for sals
shall not use any hop substitute In the brew
ing of beer and shall not receive or have In
his custody or pos-espion any beer contain
ing any hop substitute, or In the brewing of
which any hop siibjtltute bas been used, or
any hop substitute except for domestic use,
the proof whereof shall He on him. The sec
ond subsection of the clause provides that If
any brewer for sale uses any hop substitute
In the brewing of beer or receives or has In
his custody or posevssdon any article In con
travention of the section, he shall Incur an
excise penalty of 100 and the article shall
be forfeited. The third subsection contains
the defllnitlons of "hop substitute." "beer."
and "brewer for sale." Clauee 2 Is a mark
ing clause, the intention of which Is to apply
to foreign hopn the same provisions as are
applied to British hops under the hop-marking
acta. The third clause Is the short title and
commencement clause.
INQUIRY FROM MKXICO FOR WHEAT.
"With IJgbt Supplies I'ndertome. of Grain
.Markets la Firm.
The grain trade continue alow, but with
a satisfactory undertone as a result of the
light supplies left In the hands of growers.
"London cables quoted wheat cargoes quiet
but firm, though options were lower at
Liverpool. The Chicago market closed one
cent higher.
There is soma inquiry in the Northwest
Jrom Mexico for wheat. Owing to the
scarcity of wheat in that country, the
government baa reduced the import duty to
jS-6 centa per bushel. The reduced rate
Is In effect from December 13, 190S. to
iAprlt 30. 190.

tBomo California Inquiry for Oregon Onions.
Potatoes Are I Mill.
A shipment of Japanese oranges, the
third of the the season, will be put on
ale this morning. A car of California
oranges waa received yesterday and a car
of lemons wma due last night. A car of
celery waa also due. City trade in fruita
and vegetables waa of fair volume and
country, orders were plentiful. Prices gen
erally were unchanged.
Interest in the onion market la steadily
Increasing. A little Inquiry is coming from
California, which Is likely to result In
business very soon. In the meantime the
undertone of the market Is much firmer.
The growers' association has Its plana about
completed for marketing Its crop through
regular agents during the remainder of the
season and la confident the plan .will be an
entire success, notwithstanding the
knocking'' that la being Indulged In.
The potato market continues dull and
shippers do not look for outslda orders
oon. except for very fancy sorts.
BITERS ARK ALL AFTER CHICKENS.
"Market Is Firm and Higher All Around.
Eggs Very Weak.
There were liberal receipts of poultry yes
terday, but the demand was strong enough
to clean up all the offering Buyers were
specially keen after chickens and ducks.
Hens sold higher at 12,4 centa and duck
brought as high as IS centa Geese did, not
xnove so well.
Eggs were weak and dragging with most
of. the business done under 40 centa
There waa an active market for city
creamery butter, which cleaned up well at
firm prices. Cheese waa quiet.

SELL FOR PROFITS
Realizing Sales as Result of
Recent Stock Advance. -
CAUSE A SHARP SETBACK
Italian Calamity and News From the
Balkans Have a depressing Ef-'
feet Pressure Also Affects
Speculative Bonds.
NEW YORK. Dec. it. The rate at which
prices started upward with the resumption
of dealings In stocks after the Christmas
holidays waa not maintained on the second
day of operations. A substantial ctrock was
encountered In the weight of the offerings
to sell at the higher prices, for the level
at the outsot today waa considerably higher.
Tba genuine buying Investment is Identified
by Its sober methods and its more careful
scrutiny of price levels with relation to div
idend rates and the adjustment of Income
returns to conform to existing conditions in
the money market. The readjustment
pressure was most pronounced in some of
the stocks which were most conspicuous in
recent sudden advances, including some of
the lower-priced railroad stocks, but em
bracing also some of the high-priced spec
ulative favorites.
The railroad deal continued to play a part
In tha speculation and to touch some new
stocks with Its animating Influence. The
copper industrlala ahowed themselves un
responsive to trade reports of the same hope
ful character which proved efficacious In
raising their prices yesterday. Copper metal
was marked up again yesterday In tha Lon
don market and further reports were heard
of an active movement among consumers to
take refined copper, but that group sagged
to lower prices, notwithstanding this stim
ulant today.
There was much discussion yesterday of
the Important effect on railroad earnings
to result from the proposed advance in
freight rates on January 1, of which notice
has been filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The 'amount of public agita
tion aroused against this proposed advance
came Into larger consideration today, owing
to reports of the holding of mass meetings
in California to protect against the Intended
advancea on behalf of shippers.
Railroad traffic officials displayed no
more than a quiet satisfaction with the
freight movement and do not give expres
sion to enthusiasm. In the comparisons of
railroad earnings with the last year it la
pointed out that the comparison is with the
slump In gross earnings following the panic
and while operating expenses were still
held at an extravagant level, as time had
not yet been given to put Into effect
measures of economy. In other words, con
ditions at this time last year and In the
period following were the most unfavorable
for the railroads which have existed for
many years past, so that satisfaction with
a favorable contrast at this time will de
mand some restrslnt.
The Italian calamity brought no direct
pressure upon the market, but the senti
mental effect of such a great disaster is
depressing to property values. The news
of the Balkan situation also had some dis
quieting effect on foreign markets. The de
cline In sterling exchange here kept pace
with that at Paris, leaving the force of de
mand on otlr gold holdings about the came.
Money was offered freely In time loana
and rebates declined. The closing tone of
the stock market was distinctly weak after
a day of hesitation.
Profit-taking was an Influence on some of
the speculative bonds, ss well as stocks,
and the tone of the bond division was rather
irregular. Dealings were still on a large
acale. Total, sales, par value, $9.044, 000.
United States Ss declined per cent on call.

Reports Turn the Chicago Wheat
Market From Weakness to
Strength All Options Close
at the Highest Point.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29. One of the chief fac
tors contributing to the strength of wheat
today was a cablegram from Argentina stat
ing that severe storma were doing consider
able damage to the wheat crop. Other ad
vices from that country confirmed the pre
vious estimates of a comparatively small
amount of wheat available for export. These
reports transformed a weak market to one
of strength. At the opening prices were c
to c lower compared with the previous
close, the weakness being due to a decline
of to d at Liverpool. A firmer tons
developed toward the end of the first hour
and throughout the remainder of the day
sentiment in the pit continued bullish. A
special report on the Fall-sown crop of wheat
in this country, made by a local exporter
who was Inclined to doubt the accuracy of
the Government statistics, showed that the
special figures placed the total acreage at
1.250,000 acres more than waa claimed by
this authority. Thla report helped to
strengthen the market. The close was strong,
with all deliveries at the highest point of
the day. May being at $1.07 and July at
09c.
The corn market closed strong st the high
est point, with price up to c and
final quotations on May were 61(861c and
on July at 61c.
The oats market closed firm at the top.
with prices up (8Vic compared with the
previous close, final quotations on May being
at 61 c and on July at 46e.
Increased receipts of live hogs here and at
other Western packing centers Induced mod
erate realizing In provisions by local longs,
which caused a weak market throughout the
entire day. Prlcea at the close were off 12
