THE MORXING OREGONiAN, TUESDAY, DECIDED ER 7, 1909. 17 ALL GRAINS STRONG Extreme Prices Being Paid by Country Millers. OATS AND BARLEY UP Former Advance Sharply In. the Sound Market Good Demand, for Local Produce. Hops Are, Quiet. All the grain markets were strong again yesterday. Prices In the local market were not much affected, but It was reported that higher prloes were paid on the Sound. There were also reports from the country of ex treme bids by Interior millers for wheat. Thsse Isolated purchases at prioes far above tidewater values are having a decidedly bullish effect on farmers. Such was the re ported deal at Colfax, where the Potlatch Milling Company bought 500O bushels of blueatem from Claud Hollingsworth at $1.124 In the warehouse there. Oats are firm In the local market with some holders now asking $:t2.o0, while sales have been made at Seattle - at $.13. It Is said that 10 per cent of the oats on Conner flat were damaged by the recent flood. The barley market Is quoted, firm at $29 locally.

Th nnllln market l . l).l.lflll- tnni affair locally. Jobbers' quotations yesterday ranged from $1 to $1.25 per hundred and i:nless the cold weather abates, the price may go higher. In the meantime there is no Improvement in the shipping demand for potatoes. The top on Oregon Burbanks at San Francisco Is 41.10, but. Oregon Garnets are held as high as $1.75 In the Bay City. Buyers for ship ping account are not operating at this end now and they quote Burbank carlot bids nominally at CO to TO cents according to section, but potatoes are worth more In the counrty for this market. v Mall advices from San Francisco report a steady market, but Infer that the recent advance was forced by speculators. The unsold stock of Rivers is placed at 1.O00.OOO sacks. A Lab Angeles letter, noted, .the ar rival of 12,000 sacks and quoted that mar ket weak. No California potatoes are be ing shipped to Texas now, as- Colorado con trols the trade. GOO DEMAND FOR FRES1C 1'ROIUCK Storm Has Llttla Effect on Front Street Trade. In plt of the storm, business was good on Front street yesterday. The activity was in part the consequence of the light buying last week. There was not much to offer In the way or local produce, but there were liberal re ceipt from the South. The steamer brought up a good assortment of vegetables, while the rail receipts Included three cars of oranges and one car each of apples, celery, cauliflower and sweet potatoes. The latter are firmer in response to wires reporting much damage to field sweets In California because of freezing weather. Among the express receipts was a ship ment of 100 crates of Cornlchon grapes, probably the last grape shipment of the sea son. They offered at 31.50 per crate. SALVLL IXCAXj PFMAXI) FOR HOPS. Light Inquiry and Snow Storm Cause a Dull Market. There was not much business stirring in the hop market yesterday. The demand was light and buyers preferred to remain in town until the snow storm is over. A few growers came in with offers, but they were for the most part holders of inferior grades. No choice goods were put on sale. With tho majority of dealers out of the market at present. It seems useless for grower to make offers'. They can accomplish little besides giving tho market a weak appear ance. When the demand revives this sellers will quickly hear from the buyers. That tho inquiry has not absolutely ceased was shown by a bid of 23 cents for choice hops, made yesterday by an exporter. The offer led to no business. BUTTER FIRM AT TTE NEW PRICE. Receipts of Cream Are IJght Poultry and Kggrs Strong. Most of the city creameries quoted the new butter price of 3! cents yesterday. The market is strong at the advance as cream receipts are very short. There. Is talk in some quarters of another rise, but whether the market can be lifted again in the face of a good supply of Eastern butter remains to be seen. Eggs were firm, but no one was disposed to ask over 45 cents, though a further rise seems to be In sight. Holders of Eastern eggs are not pressing the sale of them. Very little poultry was on hand and the prospects are for light receipts in the imme diate future, with prices on a firm basis. Rank Clearings.

STOCK TRADERS ' WARY Sudden Drop in Sugar Has a Bad Effect on the List Rumors of Dividend Increase in Reading. Bond Market Is Firm. NEW YORK, Dec. 8. Hesitation and -constraint made themselves felt In the stock speculation again today, following the yolatlle movement of Saturday. The ex planation of the action of the market was somewhat obscure. It was suspected that a process of distribution of stocks under cover might be going on. That the appear ance of things was designedly confused was taken for granted, while the abundant re sources displayed in forming this appear ance made the smaller traders wary in their operations. The assembling of Congress had Its usual restraining effect. It was understood at the outset that the President's message would not be presented today and the stock market believed Itself to be accurately in formed on the contents of that document. Another sudden drop In American Sugar was regarded as suggestive and helped to prompt a selling movement of wider scope. There was occasional demand for Reading, with Insistent assertions that a dividend in crease was near. Sales of Rock Island pre ferred at 90 were due to reiterated re ports that it would soon go on a 5 per cent dividend basis. The question of wage readjustment among railroad employes was discussed, but with out disturbing effect. The feeling is duo in part to assumption that the railroad man agers stand ready to make concessions in demands for increased wages. Higher wages may be conoeded, although reductions were not made in the late period ' of depression. Transfers - of currency were made again to' San Francisco, and foreign exchange rates held at a figure where more gold was engaged for South America. Money brokers reported some time loans on spe cial collateral at rates from 5V4 to 6 per cent. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $4,842,000. United States 4s declined 54, and the 2s advanced 14 per cent fn call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.

UP OK CROP SCARE Bullish Wheat Cables From Argentina. CHICAGO MARKET STRONG Rain and Cold Weather In the South American Republic Shorts Ac tively Engaged ' in Cov ering Operations. CHICAGO, Dec. 6. me crop scare from Argentina Injected a vast amount of bull ish enthusiasm Into trading in the wheat pit today, although the market bad displayed moderate firmness. The reports .from the South American republic, however, were not of a satisfactory character, falling as they did to state definitely the area affected by the alleged visitation. Although part of the crop has already been harvested in the Northern sections and other portions of Ar gentina, lt Is .now beyond the damage stage, although a vast amount of It. it was claimed, is still subject to Berlous injury by cold weather. Early advices from Ar gentina told of a return of wet weather which would delay harvesting . and this, together with firm cables, had Inspired con siderable covering by shorts during the first hour. The liberality of world's shipments, the movement for the week being about 8,000,000 bushels in . excess of the figures for the corresponding period a year ago, had a tendency to hold -buyers In check early in the day. Demand for the Decem ber and May deliveries was about equally urgent during the last half of the session. The former month ranged between $1.06 and $1.07. while May sold between $1.06 and $1.07. The market closed strong, De cember at $1.07 and May at $1.07. Corn displayed remarkable strength, con sidering the material drop in temperature over the corn belt.
