In Hop Market.
All the local grain markets yesterday
Tere bullish. Business -was not very ex
tensive, as little grain was offered and hold
era asked prices that were jenerally be
yond the range of buyers.
In the wheat market there were sales
reported of club at $1.04. Exact quotations
on bluestem were hard to get In the ab
sence of trading In this variety, but $1.18
was said to represent a fair average variety.
Local buyers were not disposed to pay this
price, while holders asked more. Most
of the recent business In bluestem has
been In the Interior, where some millers
have paid on the ba?ls of $1.18. There wa
a report yesterday that a lot of No. 1
bluestem chanR-ed bands at. Seattle at
$1.2:'i. but this fiKure was retarded as
far above the market.
Among the outside buyers In the city
yesterday was Paul D. Roberts, manager
of the Riverside Milling Otnipar.y of Reno.
Nev.. who has come to Portland to secure
wheat for his mill.
An increased demand for oats and barley,
and a diminished stock. have further
strengthened the market for these grains.
For white oats. $.1fl has been paid, while
sales of barley have been made by farmers
as high as $-S.

HOP TRADIN4J HETWEEN DEALERS.
Stronger Market In New York State Con
ditions in (iermauy.
Fxrept for a little business between deal
ers, there was not much done In the hop
trade yesterday. Market conditions in gen
eral were unchanged.
The New York Journal of Commerce esti
mates that the stork in New York state
has been reduced to about 220O bales by
recent sales at 1212'- cents. Part of the
tock remaining Is held at 15 cents, and
this figure hss been bid on two lots.
fcernhard Bing writes from Nuremberg
Under date of January 30 of the German
market:
In the month of January 'we had again
a. very lively business and important trans
actions on our market; exaorters for Eos
land especially were in the market. I
estimate that during the last four weeks
more than B0O0 bales have beer, taken off
from our place. Stock is visibly decreas
ing under these circumstances; besides at
tention has to be called to the fact that
our hops are advancing gradually in their
classraent of qualities. Choice green col
ored hops are very scarce.
In the reference In yesterday's Orcgonlan
to Isaac Plncus & Pons' letter to the Eng
lish papers, their estimate of the coming
crop should have read 270.0OO bales, instead
of 270 bales.
PRrN'E CORNER IX NEW YORK.
Email Jobbers Said lo H Captured (Sup
ply of Oregon Italian.
The New Tork Journal of Commerce of
recent date says:
According to rumors which are carefully
guarded on the East Side. Mit which never
theless leaked acr-ss town to the West
Bide grocery district yesterday, the East
6!d Jobbers have been for several days
past quietly negotiating a corner in Oregon
prunes, which are very generally sold
among the residents of that section. It
Is well known that the holdings on th
coast have been tunall some say only five
or six cars and a persistent camraign of
withholding orders has been practiced by
Fast f-lde houses in the hope of depressing
the values of these few remaining goods.
Now It turns out that several meetlnjs of
the East Side Jobbers have been held of
late looking toward a corresponding agree
ment to maintain the price to retailers, and
report says it is explained by the fact that
the Jobbers have succeeded In capturing
the available balance of the stock and
reached an agreement not to sell for less
than cents for 3os. which would net
them a handsome profit, especially with
the advent cf the Jewish holidays, when
the demand is. acocrding to usual experi
ence, at its be.-t.
M'RFLrH OF KliGs WORKS OFF.
Former Price Are Maintained Because of
hm1 shipping Orders.
The combined receipts of eges over Sun
day and the holiday wero large, but the
hipping demand was strong enough to
take up most of the surplus and the former
prices were thereby maintained. Most of
the city business was at 22 to 22 !j cents
and large shlpplr. - orders re filled at. a
lower figure.
Receipts of poultry were also large. The
demand was not as active as last week on
the part of the large retailers, but there
was na change in prices.
Most of the city creameries are quoting
butter at $4 cents In box lota The sup
ply is short and the present price may
bo maintained for some time to come.
Rain Cause Celery I.oxt.
A cat or California celery was unloaded
yesterday and this was all that came In
from the South. Advices from Southern
California were that because of the in
cessant rain 100 cars of celery have been
lost. Some local cabbage of fine quality
was on sale at I'i cents. Hot house let-
tuce was plentiful and quoted at $1.36
1.T5. No asparagus was received.
There were no new developments in the
potato and onion markets.
Good Run of Chinook Salmon.
ASTORIA. Feb. 23. (Special.) A good
run of chlnook salmon Is reported all along
the Lower Columbia, and the price being
paid to fishermen is 8 cents per pound for
chinook and 5 cents por pound for steel
heads. There Is also reported to be a
plentiful supply of smelt In the lower river
and soma good catches have been made.

DOWN WITH CRASH
Stock Prices Slump Under
General Selling.
LOSSES OF 3 TO 6 POINTS
Steel War the , Principal Cause of
the Scare in Wall Street.
Heavy Liquidation by
Foreigners.
NEW TORK. Feb. 23. Suspicion and dis
trust of the speculative position In the stock
market spread rapidly today and brought
the fabric of values down 'with a crash. The
conviction was quick in forming after the)
opening of the steel market to competition
last week that the stock market position
was artificial and. had been brought about
by false assumptions of the trade position.
Various factors combined to accentuato
the weakness. The serious view taken in
London of American steel trade disturb
ances, as shown by the heavy declines there
yesterday during the New York holiday,
paved the way for a renewal of the down
ward course. London sent heavy selling
orders to New York as soon as trading was
begun, thus helping the downward rush.
There was also considerable accumulation
of orders from domestic sources.
A new weakening feature cams in the
inference of the Federal Court decision
against the New York Central for rebat
ing. The speculative element Jumped to
the conclusion that a later decision would
uphold the constitutionality of the com
modities clause of the Hepburn law and
so constrain the anthracite railroads to get
rid of their mining properties.
Another reduction in the price of copper
and the new trial of the Standard helped
increase the gloom. Reading sold as low
as 1.18, a loss for tho day of 10te points.
United States steel sold down to 41te and
closed at the lowest, a loss In price since
Saturday of 4te points. Liquidation spread
throughout the market and prices at the
close were off from i to 6 points in all
the active stocks.
Bonds wena weak. Total sales, par value,
$7.::iO.OOO. United States bonds $s coupon
advanced 14 per cent on call.

May Wheat Sells at $1,16 7-8
at Chicago.
FLUCTUATIONS ARE WIDE,
Excited. Opening Due to Drouth,
Xews From India and Disturbed
Political Situation in Eu
rope Cables Higher.
CHICAGO, Feb. 23. Sensational bullish
news from Europe caused a pyrotechnical
display at the opening of yie wheat mar
ket during: which the May delivery passed
the previous high-record mark and sold at
$1.16 '2. Later in the session the record
was again smashed, when the price touched
$1.16T. The bulge at the start was due to
sharp advances in tho price of wheat at
all of tho leading grain centers of Europe.
The strength abrfead was caused by drouth
news from India and by the disturbed po
litical situation in Europe. The upturn at
the start brought out liberal realizing sales
which caused a quick reaction, the price
of the May delivery within five minuted
being forced down to $1.15 V. Support by
the leading bulls carred the price back
again to $1.16 In almost an equally short
space of time. For a time the market
was comparatively dull and prices showed
little change, but during the last half of
"the day extreme nervousness prevailed and
the volume of business was unusually large.
A feature of trade was the relative strength
of the July delivery, which sold up to
$1.02 k on covering by shorts. Toward the
close the May delivery showed a tendency
to decline and at tha finish the price was
only a shade above the previous close,
final quotations being at $1.15. July closed
at $1.01 bit.
Wet weather in the corn belt caused
moderate advances in the prices of that
grain during the first half of the session,
but the gains were all lost on selling based
on a likelihood that receipts here for the
next few days will be unusually large. The
market closed easy with prices H14e
lower, compared with the previous close,
final quotations on May being at 65 V
65.c and on July at 64 c.
Rapidly increasing receipts were the
basis of a free selling movement in the
oats pit which caused moderate weakness
during the greater part of the day. At
the close prices were We lower than Satur
day's final quotations. May closed at 54c
and July at 491ic.
Provisions were firm all day and closed
2 z (ft 5c . to 10 &il2 Me higher than the
previous close.
