17 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1909. IflOl DEMMD Trade in the East Suddenly Revives. PRICES MOVING UPWARD About One Million Pounds Change Hands at a Rising Scale of Values Lack of Interest in Hop Oratn Is Strong. A brisk flemana for mohair ha 1117 de veloped unexpectedly In the Eastern mar ket The larxe milla have begun to operate heavily on Spring and Fall clip and a a result price have moved upward. Mail ad Tlces from New York under date of October said: "Th extensive operation of vral lare manufacturing- wncma la Texaa mohair during- the oast wek or ten day surprised local handlers of thla textile raw material, a the interact shown recently a not of . kind that would lead aellera to believe that a. strong buying- movement wm belug con templated. It U estimated that tioae to 1.000.000 pound of this fiber were traiu-ferred before the contracting- ceased and t.iat the purchasers had procured the bulk of what waa available, which included much of the Eprlng and Fall cilps. These tranaacttona had an Immediate eftVct on values, which rose harply, and white price are quite high, com pared with recent quotation nevertheless the bfwt description are tiU below the basis ob taining two years ago. The muhair held oa thi market received considerable attention also. The busines done by one house alone totaled 100,000 pound, and this same factor succeeded in dU-p using of more than aaln as much during the clo . lng days of the weelc previous. The average cost of mohair suitable for carding purpose Is now 2S to 32 cents a pound, although choice qualities have sold as high a 35 cents. Carding nwhair is quoted at 24 to 28 cent for grade that could have been bought at from 22 to 25 cent a couple of weeks ago. The call was so brisk during the last few days that holders of mohair expect th demand to broaden from now on." HOPS BK1XG SENT TO LONDON. Iralrrs Will Have Them on Hand There When the Buylna- Beg-ina. The hop market is quiet temporarily, with moro sellers than buyer to be seen. The ' big holders are not offering their hops, but there are enough small growers on the mar ket to keep It more or less unsettled. Some largo shipments of Oregon hops are being made to London, enough having gone out recently, it Is said, to make up a train load. As the foreign demand has not yet opened It is probable these hops are being sent over to London to have them on hand when the buying begins. The demand for old hops Is good, as It h as been all the season. C. A. Dorcas Is reported to hav bought in the past few days 900 bales of 1907 Sacramento and 250 bales of 1907 Oregon, also 250 bales of New Orleans. Trade circulars of the London hopdcalera. just received by mall, say: Cattley. Oridley Co. The market for Bnjrlu hops continues active, and a consid erable clearance Is already noticeable in the cheaper qualities, which continue to harden In value. Continental markets are extremely firm at higher currency than English, and cables from the Pacific Coast report advanc ing markets. The quality of the Orejron crop. Judging from the samples now coming In, seems much poorer than lat year. Wild. Neame & Co. A brisk trade con tinue in all description and value are fully maintained. The larger growths of East and M id Kent are no w com tug on the market, and in view of their excellent quality and re stricted dimension, are meeting with a good demand. It is estimated that three-fourths of the cmp Is out of growers' hands: Ad vices from the Continent and America report firm markets, with a hardening tendency. There Is still a good demand for export to the Continent. W. FT. A H. Le May The English cip . quietly going Into consumers hands. Prices r firm for all descriptions, and thotw that are suitable for export to the Continent hae advanced during- the week. The government return of the crop is 214. 4M cwts., which con firms our estimate of September 4. when we said it would be about 214. 753 cwts. M anger Hen ley T he larger growth of Fast and Mid Kents are now engaging at tention and some strong busineM has been done durln the past week. Price firm for all descriptions. Exchange and Hop Warehouses The market still continues active. email growths and thw of medium quality are being rapidly ab sorbed. Prices rema In firm. BETTER FEELING IN BI TTER MARKET. Some Talk of Advancing Prices In the Near Future. There were some weak spots In tha butter market yesterday, as regards both city and country creamery, but, on the whole, the market was steady. Most of the city cream eries are clnsely sold up each day and there Is some talk' of advancing prices In the near future. There were no new developments in the egg market yesterday. Oregon egg? have become so scarce that they are hardly a factor In the market. The general quota tion on fresh extras yesterday was 40 cents. That the shortage of supplies in the(country has become acute is shown by the fact that local dealers an making sales of Eastern eggs to merchants In several Willamette Valley towns. Country dealers are ho Id in 3 ranch eggs at SS cents at shipping points. The poultry market was barely steady. Chicken were plentiful and 14 H cents was the top. Live turkeys were in fair de mand and dressed turkeys w-re quoted firm. LOCA I. MH EAT MARKET 1 9 STRONG. High Prices Quoted. Notwithstanding Weak BfMi Y.mt and Abroad. A' though the Kaetern and foreign wheat markets were off yesterday, there was co change In the local situation, and the tone was as strox.g as ever. lUueusem was quoted at fl.tfS and club at &4 cent. The demand was principally on the part of exporters and firms having California connection. Oats and barley were quoted- firm at un changed pfU-e.

There were no other changes in the provisions list. Grape Prices lemorallzed. The grape market was mure or less de moralized yesterday. Two cars of Cali fornia graphs were put on sale, and as the stormy weather kept down the demand, prices suffered. Tokays were quoted at 15 to 7S cents and Malagas at 74 cents to . II per crate. Because of the rain no fresh Concords were received and the holdover stock was hard to move.
