HAY SUPPLY SHORT
difficult to Bring In Stocks
From the Country.
PRICE ALSO IS ADVANCED
Wheat Si cuciy at Former Quotations.
Oats Are Being Ofrered More
Freely Fruit Trade Is
Very Quiet.
Tha difficulty of retting supplies Into tho
city, particularly from points east of the
raountaina. haa caused a marked shortage
la the hay market. Since Saturday the total
receipt! have been 58 cars, and a total of
only 0 cara came in last week. 1ie uaual
requirements of the city at this time of
year are estimated at not lesa than II cars
of hay a day. Nearly all the local dealers
are out of hay and the wholesalers are mak
ing; every effort to ret in additional stocks,
bat with little suecesa. The railroad com
pany aeems to have plenty of cars at ita
disposal, but is short of motive power, owing
to the unprecedented passenger movement.
Prices of the best Eastern Oregon timothy
have advanced to 119 and the, dealers do
not look for any decline soon. While the.
supply is likely to continue short as long as
the railroad trouble lasts, the hay men have
no fears of a real famine at any time, either
now or later In the season. There Is a con
siderable supply of hay this year in Eastern
Oregon and ahlppera of tha Bitter Root
Valley. Montana, ass also making offers to
the Portland dealers. With a rate from
these points to Portland the dealers say
they can lay Montana hay down here if it
becomes necessary.
There was no change in the local wheat
market yesterday. The exporters still
quoted Club. Fife and Turkey Red at 88
cents and Blueatem at cents. Bluestem
has sold at higher prices at Seattle, but only
small quantities have been moved there and
the purchases were understood to be urgent
one on account of ships in port awaiting
cargo.
Oats and barley were slow and unchanged
In price. Offirlngs of oata were larger than
they have been for some time past.
Local receipts, '-..-cars, were reported by
the Merchants' Exchange as follows:
Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay.

WHY OREliON WOOI. IS SLOW SALE.
fonJirrable nothing Stork Said te Be
Mixed With the Staple.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin of recent
date says the fact that there Is considerable
short wools mixed In with the staple Oregon
stock makes manufacturers rather reluctant
about buying thla raw material at current
prices, and In consequence business is com
paratively Inactive. However, It la under
stood that a small amount of staple waa
recently sold at 25 to lc In the grease, and
in another quarter XOO bales of clothing
wool were moved on a grease basis of 21 He.
The Bulletin estimates that the remaining
supply of the 190S territory clip In dealers'
handa throughout the country la Uttle in
rxeess of .00.00 pounds. The large con
sumers, in many cases, have sufficient wool
for the next three months, but a number
of smaller mills. Including some worsted
ones, have not bought their requirement
for tha near future, and In consequence tha
remaining raw material available will ba
needed to aatlsfv. the deficiency.
HOPGBOWEBS EXPECT HIGHEK r RICKS.
r.t fMTere Da Net Tempt Them te
SelL
No new business cam to light in the hop
market yesterday. Several buyers were In
the country, trying to All orders, but they
fouxtd growers Indifferent sellers at current
prices. Most of the farmers who have free
hop bava set their minds on getting S3
cent and the buyers are unable to present
arguments that will shake their determina
tion. The dealers do not look for any active
participation by the foreign trade until the
official figures cn the English crop ars
announced. Thay are expected to show a
1eld of not over 200,000 cwt. If this proves
to be the case. It Is difficult to see how
he market can help advancing.
FRCTT TRADE 19 VEKx" DCXL,
Stocks are Small, Assortment Limited aad
Demand Peer.
The fruit trade had another dull day of
It. There was but little on offer except
grapes, and the demand was not keen for
anything. Moat of the California grapes
received cleaned up at firm prices. There
was a fair supply of local concords, which
held at 25 cents a basket. A few amall
ahlpmenta of peiches came from Southern
Oregon, and a car is dua from California la
a, few days.
Three cars of bananas arrived, meetly
gran.
Demand for Poultry Is Slow.
Poultry receipts wera of good volume, but
there was not much life to trsule, though
prices were maintained all along .tha line.
Whether quotations will continue to hold
will depend largely on the size of today's
arrivals.
The egg market was firm, with a good In
quiry for strictly fresh ranch stock, which
sold at former prices.
There were no changes in the butter or
cheese markets, which were firm.

PRICE CHANGES' SMALL
Movement in Telegraph Sliares the
Feature of the Day PennV'v"
nla Keroverg From Pre
vious Day's' Decline.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23. There was some
further liquidation at time in today' stock
market. When relieved from this pressure
prices tended to recover, but the dealing
dwindled to such an extent a to reduce the
day' total to the smallest figure in over
week. The day proved almost barren of Inci
dents and the market of light Interest.
In the period of dullness one or two special
tie were picked for Individual upward move
ment. The telegraph stock were an In
stance. Mackay companies rose buoyantly
to new high records, accompanied by rumors
of Intended dividend Increase Western
Union bore it company and American Tele
graph was affected to a less extent. The
movement In connection with these stocks
Invariably gives rise to rumor of Intended
consolidattlon.
Some resistance to the depression was shown
by Pennsylvania, which recovered briskly
from yesterday aharp decline on rumor Jf
a coming dividend Increase.
Money, both on call and time, seemed to
grow somewhat easier, perhaps as a result
of liquidation of stocks already affected. The
currency movement was against the banks.
Tha Subtreasury has started to withdraw
large sums from the banks, the amount since
the last bank statement having risen to
(3.662,000. The money situation was ac
cepted a the explanation of tha reluctance
of the speculation to take up its activitie
with vigor.
Bonds were irregular. Total ealea. par
