FOREIGN DATS HERE Canadian Article in the Local Market. LARGE SUPPLY AVAILABLE Alberta Farmers Seeking to Market Their Surplus on the Pacific I 'ohm May Hold the Prices Down. Canadian oats have appeared in the local market for the Brut time In the history of the trade. An Initial lot of 200O tone Is to be marketed here In the near future and e t,w eara of the shipment have already been received. Theae oati were grown In Alberta and coma by way of Spokane. Local sraln mn who have examined them pronounce the quality ae icood aa or better than the Orefon and Waihlncton oats. After paying & duty of ft.eS per tan they can be laid down here at about 39 per ton. There la an un limited aupply said to be available, and aa the Canadian farmers are trying hard to find a market for them, they may send la oough to break this market, or at least hold prices In check. A large quantity ot the foreign oate have been disposed of at Seattle and Spokane and an effort la also being made to market them at San Fran cisco. The Alberta growers govern their f- o. b. prices by the valuea prevailing in the American markets. Another factor that is causing some un certainty In the local oats market le the quantity that win be offered for sale by farmers In the Valley and elsewhere aa soon as seeding Is nnlahed. The barley market holds very firm. Tha demand la good and oflertnga are light. Very little business is passing In the wheat market. The eales made yesterday were of small lots and the prices paid were about as previously quoted. Flour la firm, but there is no certainty that prices ulll be advanced in the imme dtare future.

The potato market continues quiet. There are no signs of Improvement In the im mediate future at San Francisco, and until I -hat market recovera local buyers will hardly raise their bids. That the later Imarket will be better Is generally conceded. P ut just when things will mend Is a ques tion. A. J. (Jerry Cousins writes to The On- nonlan from North Yakima, that the state- tnent of John ahourley. regarding the Ivaklma supply, recently printed In The regonlan. Is entirely correct. Mr. Cousins l-a ys: "w n usually secure any number of I are up to June 15, from the growers. This cason what few cars are here are In deal ers nancls. outside ot -0 cars which are eia toy the growers, this being a very I onservatlve estimate. I look for notatoes be higher In the next 90 days than they .-. D.rn in many years. There are prac- iiy no wean points to draw from. Seattle. kane, lacoma, lieUlnghain and Everett isrketa are all firm and high. 1 note there re only 400 cars In Oregon, and 200 will neeoca for sound points. What will the tate of California, do In this case, using "" 10.000 .arks dally or S4 cars ot i. sucks earn-; The result will be that po- .ir win ne proumu m from the Kast at a t of 2 per hundred or possibly more I Iolleve 1 es per hundred will be paid grow rs In Oregon before the last of the month."

AFRAID OF OVERDOING IT V'ndertone of the Sfarket, However, Is One of Confidence That the Worst or Business . De pression. Is Over. -N-EW YORK. April 5. The speculation in stocks did not fully maintain its strong tone throughout the day. although still showing evidence of vitality and under tone of confidence. Speculative opinion seems to have arrived at the conviction that the worst is over In the business depres sion and that Improvement is to be the rule from now on. Mixed with this con fidence is the caution prompted by the probability that the speculation will out run the rate of Improvement, leaving room for sharp market reactions The danger of running out of margins is such a re action and of losses for the too daring speculator are taken into account, and are responsible sfor such periods of hesitation as were perceptible during much of the day's session. The disposition was plainly manifest to reduce market conditions as the hour ap proached for the assembling of the Supreme court. The fluctuations In Reading mean time became feverish. Then followed a period of extreme dullness, until It was announced that the decision waa once again postponed. The tone of aSvices sent out by commis sion houses over the week end resulted in considerable accession of buying orders when the market opened. The further Im provement in financial conditions abroad brought an addition to the demand for American securities from that source also. The selling to realize had effect on the market. In the later efforts to start the market up again a good deal of attention was given to Individual stocks, with a view to their sympathetic effect on the general list. There seemed some Impression that the beginning of arguments in the Government suit against the Standard Oil Company might restrain the speculation. This week's Government report on crop conditions is regarded as of great importance for the light it will throw on the condition of Winter" wheat. Time loans were reported easier and con siderable amounts were said to have been placed on the market. The vigorous advance in the last half hour of Cnion Pacific and United States Steel was decisive in turning the whole market upward again. .Bonds were firm. Total shares, par value, $4,947,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing RHiee. .raign.
