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.

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.

STOCK TONE HEAVY
Leading Issues Are in Light
Demand.
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.

strong today. A weak opening was follcwod
by a reaction which was accelerated by re
ports of a renewal of the strong milling de
mand In the Northwest which yesterday ap
parently had reached Its height, an advance In

teract the effect of the falling off in the
cash wheat figures In the Southwest. Enor
mous shipments of flour from -he North
west also strengthened the market. For
eign cables were bearish, new crops In Rus
sian and Argentine wheat being freely of
fered abroad. December spread over a
range of ltoc. closing 9iS'c higher.

was bulllshly Influential In the corn mar
ket. There, were closing gains of toe In
October to 1 to 41 54 c in December.
In the oats market the range w;as from
toe marited up against the July option to
c for December.
