17 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1909. IS No Business in Wheat Now for Eastern Shipment PRICES ARE NOT RIGHT Value Sajr in ihc Kast, hut Are Hoosted In Tills Stlion Vntll Trading for Eastern Account Is Not Profitable. With th Eastern markets sagslns; and prices In the Interior of the Xonhwnt. a: the earn time. te!n bid up under sharp competition, valuta have reached a point where tradln tor Eastern account had to corns to a atop. So fur m can be learned. no business for Eastern shipment has ceen worked this week. The Eastern buyers, however, are still on the ground awaltlne development, so It la probablo they expect to resume operations later. It la learned that orders have been placed with the railroads for 1000 cars to trans port wheat East, and as sh.lppi.-ig Instruc tions have not been received on all of the late purchases. It Is figured out that the total business to date must aggrejrate about J.600,000 bushels. Forelcn markets have gone down with the Eastern decline and the export buyers, too. arc practically out of it, so far as operations Is the Interior o. Buyers In the country are offrtlnjc prices one to two cents lower than last week, but they meet with poor response on the part of sellers. Oats and barley hold steady to firm at former prices. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Tv-beat Farley Flour Oats Hay Mondav 21 18 14 1 Tuesday fll 1 J Wednesday 8 4 t Tear an 75 2 6 6 Total last week 47 OREGON' WOOI. IN TUB KAST Maple Is Flill In Detnaad. But the. More xnrnt la Not 1-ance. Staple Oregon wool la still In demand In Boston, according to the Commercial Bulle tin, although, the rroveroent Is by no means large. One house disposed of about 3.10 baits on a basis of 25 to 2 cents.- It is estimated conservatively that not more than 4O.0OO.00tl pounds o? domestic wool, including New Mexican. California and Texas, are now owned by dcalera la Phi!-Hd-lrilia ;t Is said that the remaining wool sto.k is little In excess of 3.0on.0rt0 pounds, while St. l.ouis haa about 4.0'iO.iVO pounds, tnd Chicago. Including the warehouse, be tween -4.UOO.otM and B.OOO.OOO pounds. Hart ford, Conn.. Is practically, cleaned up. "With the exception of abottt 400.000 pounds held In Wyoming the West Is cleaned up. New Mexico has recently disposed of some of Its remaining large clips on a basis of 21 cents, to that section la now practically bare of wool. In other words the bulk of the 1S09 wool clip has passed to consumers, and Is not available for purchase. It Is true, how ever, that there is considerable wool In stor age, as yet unconsumed. but this is now be ginning to move out to the mills, and It is generally believed that all the available raw material will be needed to satisfy the war.ta of the country. HOP MARKET IV GROWERS' HANDS. They Can Raise It or Break It sm They Choose. A few email hop sales are being made at prices from 23 to 24 4 cents. These are poor grades and are the only kinds being offered new. Good primes and choice grades cannot bo had. The holders of such are too well posted on market conditions to lot them so at the offered rates. There has been no time when the mar ket was mora clearly In the hunds of the growers than now. If they continue to hold firmly, as they undoubtedly will do, tbey are almost certain to force prices in Oregon up to 30 cents, where thev should be. On the other hand. If they get weak kneed and sell in volume, prices may break. There cannot be much of a fall In any event, however, as a decline of a cent or two would cause heavy buying and then there would be a rebound that would make prices higher than they are now. This la one of the years when the growers can see more chance for gain than loss In price fluctua tions. California advices yesterday reported small business In Sonomaa at 27 cents and In Russian Rivers at 23 cents. Other Cali fornia sections were quiet. Exports of hops from the port of New Tork from September 1 to October were 8518 bales, compared with 2479 bales in the same period last year. Imports from the be ginning of the season to October 9 were 6T4 bales against 263 bales In the corre sponding period last year. MISSION GRAPES IHW GRANTS PASS Whiter Banana Apples Offered Hockle berriea .Are Cheaper. Business In the fresh fruit market was not brisk- Concord grapes were In light supply and quoted Ann. A shipment of Mission grapes from A. H. Carson, of Grants Pass, -was offered at 1 per box. California grapes were unchanged. A small lot of second-grade Winter Banana apples came in and 'were held at 2.50 per box. California apples are still in large supply. Huckleberries were cheaper at 6 7 cents per pound. The vegetable market was well stocked with most varieties. except eggplant. Ground cherries are plentiful now and sell ing at $1 per box. Cherry tomatoes are held at 75 ceny rcr crate. Poultry Market In Good Shape. There Is a moderate demand from the Sound for turkeys and this keeps the local market Arm, though 17 cents Is still the top. Receipts of chickens were not very heaxy yesterday and prices held steady. Engs continue firm. Receipts are small and only a light proportion of them grade as strictly fresh. These can be moved at 3S centa The butter market was firm and un- i banned.

PRICES ARE UNCERTAIN Sprrial Issues of a T-ess Consplenons Class Are Pushed Vpward Funds Are in ISetter Supply. NEW YORK. Oct. 20. The dull, and hesi tailng tone of the, speculative Interest in stocks was unrelieved today. Prices did not move long In any one direction and the ac tion was confused by contrary movements. The more prominent Issues In which the greatest part of the market dealings have been concentrated for a long time were heavy In tone. At the same time, special stocks of a less conspicuous class and Inclvd Ing some low priced non-dividend payers were pushed upward. The Immediate condition of. the local money market was not such as to force liquidation, as the banks were not actually calling loans In fact supplies of loanable funds were somew-hat more liberal. The sus tained strength of the foreign exchange mar ket this week continued today. The private discount rate In London rose to above the official discount rate established last week, nnd it was taken for granted that tomorrow would see a further rise in the Bank of England official discount rate, probably 'i per cent, and possibly by aiother full 1 per cent. In this country, the exchange at Chicago moved against New York again and a re sumption of Interior demands for currency was looked for. A report of a contemplated issue of new Chicago & Northwestern stocks was greeted with a sharp decllno in that stock. Bonds of the International Pump Company were offered both here and in foreign markets. The placing of new American Issues abroad suggested another phase of the question of securing new capital In a way that might operate as a sutstttutlon of funding of tem porary borrowings from foreigners and thus relieve the Immediate obligation to repay them. Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value 43.D40.ooo. I nlted Statea 2s declined 'c and the 4s registered 4 per cent in the bid price on call. CLOSING STOCK. QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales.
