Bears Still at Work in the Hop
Market.
SALES AT 18 AND 20 CENTS
Statistical Review, Showing the Ac
tual Shortage In the World's
Supply, Prepared by G.
Mueckc, of This City.
The slump In ths hop market continues
unchecked. -Bearish manipulation by short
tellers In th Eut and the waiting game
being played by the Sngllsh buyer tn
weakened the market so tbat value bare
declined materially. Tba -weak situation baa
been farther aggravated at this end by
the irrowlnr. desire of numerous farmer to
find buyers for their crops, without much
regard for the price consideration,
Tha reault of thla combination of bearish
buyer and weak-kneed seller la tbat hops
sura now pasalnr out of fust hands at It
and 0 cents. Four or ava lota, ascresatlns
snr 100 bales, are reported to bare been
sold yesterday at It cents, while In the
Aurora, and Eocene sections there war
sales of earloada at 20 cents. The latter
were described as fairly oo primes ana
the lt-oent hops as mediums. No choice
, hops are belns; sacrificed now. but at the
rata Ova others ara sous; tne oesi wmim
only be worth about J cents.
Nothing; apparently can ba done to stay
the downward cdurse of the market as lone
as there ara sellers at the bid prices. It la
noted that the speculators and dealera are
not lettlnr o at the current market level.
The larger holders have faith that the thing
will soon right Itself and prlcea reacn a
point that the technical position of the mar
inate tustlnea.

THANKSOimO TtKKKY MARK.KT.
Coarse ef Prices Will IX-pend eo the Ontslde
Demand.
There Is always much uncertainty as to
what the Thanksgiving turkey market will
be. and this year It Is more of a puxxle than
ever. The large handlers frankly acknowl
edge they cannot predict the outcome, but
ail agree that there will ba no ahortage.
unless the demand on Oregon ahould be
i - h.Mlid Aver what It was last year.
Reports coming In from the Valley turkey
sections Indicate that the crop Is about the
same as last season, which, as everyone
knows, was ample. The local consumption
should be greater than last year, because
of the growth of population and the general
prosperity, but what will have the most
effect on prices will be the shipping de
mand, and this la something no one can
figure out Just now. The Seattle buyers are
snaking frequent Inquiries here but as yet
have placed no orders. If they should come
in strong at the beginning of the week, stiff
prices may prevail, but If the Northern peo
ple have ordered the bulk of thelr-eupply
from the East the proepecta are that Port
land will have a surplus of turkeys and a
broken market. .
A good many dressed turkeys came tit
yesterday, hut there was a slow demand
for them. The best were held at 29 cents.
' Chickens were sluggish and weak. Game was
In light supply.
The egg. butter and cheese markets were
firm and unchanged.
FI-l RKY IX THE MOHAIR MARKET.
Trade en a Large Scale and Demand le
g gttimate.
The activity In the Eastern mohair mar
ket still continues, according to the New
York Journal of Commerce, which says:
The leading handlers of this fibre re
ceived numerous Inquiries from manufactur
ing concerns and succeeded in disposing of
another Isrge quantity at full prices. The
market has been pretty well cleaned op of
the best description of domestic mohair, but
as the supply will be augmented shortly
buyers will bo able to provide themselves
with stock during the near future. The call
for thla nbre Is the keenest known In rears,
and the breadth of the demand convinces
holders that the wants of the mills are far
from being satisfied. A couple of years ago
there was a sharp flurry In mohair, but the
opinion here la thst the present activity Is
not only larger but more stable. The last
time mohair moved briskly there was con
siderable speculative buying, but the ma
terial being purchased now la moving di
rectly to manufacturing centers.
WHEAT MARKET Ql IET BCT 6TKOJ.G.

ALLSTQBKS STRONG
Market Affected by.Wells-Far-go
Melon-Cutting.
BUT TRADING NOT ACTIVE
Revival of Interest In N the Copper
Group Foreign Money Tosl
tlon Shows Improvement.
Bonds Are Firm.
NEVY" YORK, Nov. IS. The strong tone
of stocks today waa not accompanied by
animation In tha speculation. The most
striking incident of the daye news was
the announcement of the "melon-outtlng"
by the TVells, Fargo Express Company. The
maximum dividend distribution on this
stock, uo to the present, has been 10 per
cent yearly, the advance to that rate rep
resenting a concession to demands from a
clamorous minority of the stockholders.
The high record price for the stock before
the present year was 325. Todays an
nouncement Induced sales at 560. -
The distribution amounts to three times
the par value of the outstanding stook In
cash, calling for $24,000,000, while theT capi
tal la Increased to three-fold at the- same
time and the Increase Is offered to present
stockholders at Tar. The -reinvestment of
capital to be distributed might Involve some
Ingenious reason as to the direct profit ac
cruing, but the effect Is sufficiently brilliant
to appeal to investment holders of all sim
ilarly situated corporations.
The collateral topic came up for discus
sion how far this action might anticipate
possible Inquisitorial activities by Govern
ment autnorltiea and leglslatora as to the
conduct of an Industry that yields such
prolits. especially In view of the contentions
by the National authorities for Inclusion of
the express companies as common-carriers.
Various other high-grade Investment
stocks rose buoyantly, especlall those for
which the possession of "concealed assets'
Is claimed. The anthracite coal carriers come
wrthln this range. The coppers were re
vived to some extent and there, were re
ports of some recent large sales of the
metal, which were put forward, however,
without official authority attached.
The Issuance of the call for reports of
the condition of National banks at the close
of business November 16 has been expected
to relieve the banks from some constraint
In granting accommodations which they
have been under while awaiting this call.
The building up of the Bank of Englatid
reserve to O4.U0 per cent to liability gave a
strong Impression of the effectiveness of the
recuperation of that Institution, Foreign
financial markets seamed somewhat de
pressed today, however, with the political
complication threatened by the rejection of
the British budget.
There was another engagement of gold
made In New York for shipment to South
America, raining the total outgo for the
present banking week on that account to
$4,4O0.tK)0.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$.1.M2,vO0. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

Steers Are Moved at $4.60 and Cows
' at $3.75 at the Yards Hogs
Are Also Firm.
Livestock trade was active yesterday, wit h
a strong demand for good stock and prices
on a tiFm basis. The receipts for the day
were 15l cattle. 243 sheep, 325 hogs and 20
Sa"es In the cattle line comprised good
quality steers at $4.60 and $4.65. and fancy
cows at $3.75. Hogs sold at the former
range of quotations. A large bunch of sheep
went at 4. bat had the quality been prime,
thev would have sold higher.
The following statement of interest to
shippers, was made by General Agent D. O.
Lively, of the stockyards company:
"Pending the adoption of a uniform con
tract, which is now being considered by the
Oregon Railway Commission, shipper? from
Southern Pacific points to the Vnlon Stock
yards are put to some trouble and Incon
venience by reason of having to go through
the terminal yaMs to the O. K. & N. local
station for the purpose of signing an addi
tional livestock contract. We are advised
L-y R. B. Miller, general freight agent for
the O. B. N., that he will see If some
method can be arranged, either by filing
bond or otherwise, that will take cars of
this and at the same time take up the
question of accommodation for the. men in
charge of shipments of livestock, who at
present are under the necesfity of riding on
the tops of the cars. It is my opinion that
before long shippers will not be put to all
this trouble."
Shippers at the yards yesterday were: C.
Thompson, of Buhl. Idaho, with one car
of hogs; W. L. Dishman. of Wallowa, two
cars of cattle; Henry Laxinka, of Pilot
Rock, three cars of cattle; F. K. Llnd, of
McCov, 6 eows; I E. West, of Halsey, two
cars of sheep; J. C. Davis, of Shedd, one
car of hogs and goats; F. E. Llbby, of
Jefferspn, one car of hogs, and Webber
Brothers. 68 hogs by boat.
