bushels In January last vear. while for the
cereal year to date California has received
from Portland 2.073,(107 bushels, a sal nut less
than a million bushels ii. the corresponding
period of the - preceding season. That the
pressure from the Kouth tor supplies will
continue during the remainder of the season
ta not questioned and !t Is equally certain
that available stocks in this section are
retting Into rery small compass. Though
the demand for wheat Is stroan. offrrlnKS

NOT MATT GROWERS' HOP9 OFFERED.
Recent Buatneee Betaew Dfalrn Con
ditions In the East.
A moderate demand for hops was reported
yesterday, but there were few sellers In the
market at current prices. The only busi
ness reported was between dealers, a Dallas
lot of lf9 bales changing hands at 7
centa
Conditions In Mew Tork State are reported
by the Watervllle Times of January '2Q as
follows:
"In the absence of stock of almost any
description there is not much dclng on the
market bere. The few who hare hops to
sell of the better grades are firm holders
and are not In -the market. The demand Is
quite as strong as during the past few wwka
and hops of all descriptions have been picked
up pretty close, especially In Oneida, Madi
son and Otsego counties.
"The sales are limited, therefore, by the
absence of available stock and meanwhile
the dealers are scouring the country for any
and all grades, and are meeting with in
different success."
LOXDOX AFPX.K MARKET LOWFR.
Factfle Coast Box Stork Sells at Reduced
Prices.
The latest report of W. Dennis & Sons,
of London, say x:
The apple situation this week has been
somewhat disappointing Instead of a con
tinuation of the improvement whit h we
noted In our last report, the market has
dropped back to a Phado lower figures on
barrel and, more especially, box stock, and
at the moment It Is difficult to see any
Immediate change for the better.
On the other hand, supplies are shorter
than they have beon for many years, every
thing Is go in Into Immediate consumption,
weather conditions are favorable and the
general trade of the country is gradually
showing Improvement.
We therefore hope the reaction may
take place at any moment. In the mean
time, barrel stock and also box stock Is
selling at the following figures: Nova Sco
tlan Baldwins, IS? 20s; do Greenings. 17
19s: Russets. lTdK Fox Xewtowns, Wat
so nvl lie, 6s 9d7s per box; do Oregon. 8 9s

4EGG9 ANI BUTTER ARE LOWER.
Market Conditions for Former Product Not
Good for Holders.
The butter and egg markets both tumbled
yesterday. As was annoanced In this paper,
the city creameries which had been quoting
t) utter at 87 cents, made a 8-cent cut In their
prices to 84 centa At the new price sup
plies cleaned up well and the tone of the
market was very steady.
The egg market. In the language of the
Street, was shot full of holes, much to the
dl?gust of the jobbers who had brought up
sv large supply of California eggs. It was
the knowledge that this supply was on hand
that caused the retailers to bear the mar
ket and the result was that they came very
near getting eggs at their own price. Satur
day AO and 5 cents was freely paid by the
retailers, but yesterday no one wanted eggs
at these figures On the whole, the market
was fully a nickel under last week's prices.
Receipts since Saturday from all sources
were over 200 case a
Poultry arrivals were small and the de
jtNejd was quiet.
Thbure was no change In cheese, which
was verty firm.

TONE IS BETTER
Absence of Unfavorable News
Helps Stock Values.
TENDENCY IS UPWARD
Gains Are Reduced at the last by
Professional Realizing Call
I-oans SllRhtly Firmer.
Bonds Irregular.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. The day's devel
opments were regarded as negatively favor
able to stock values and a firmer tone of
the market was the consequence, but the
growing lethargy of the speculative interest
left the dealings dull at times. Selling at
the opening was so Inconsiderable that the
traders' demand to cover shorts with the
purpose of taking advantage of expected
selling was sufficient to advance prices.
Professional operations were renewed for a
decline when this state of affairs was per
ceived, but they were not pushed aggres
sively. Call loans were but slightly firmer. Money
rontlnues In abundant supply. The marking
down of the prices of copper nnd reports of
storm damage to Western ruilroads did not
alter the hardening tendency, but profes
sional realising reduced the extreme gains
at the last.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $3,440,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
