THE MORNING OREGONIAX. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER, 15, 1909. 19 EAST WANTS WHEAT 4nquiries Are Again Received in the Northwest. ALL GRAIN VERY STRONG Oats Steadily Advance With Small Prospect of Getting Outside Supplies Produce Trade Is Active. All the train markets seem t be en caged tn a race for top mark honors. Wheat, oats and barley ara being- steadily puhd upward. The high prices In the East immediately affect values in this seo tlon because of the lightness of available supplies. A good part of the demand comes from California. The. Southern dealers were bears on grain during all the early part of the season, but they htn had to eome into 'the market at last and are now active buyers. Most of the transactions at x- tram prioea whlah are reported from time to time ara for California account. Oats were especially strong yesterday. ' Stocks In local warehouses ara reported to be very light and buying la of a hand-to-month character. Receipts have been light for some time and no cars came In yesterday. The demand In the country Is so keen that It takes up practically all the oats that are offered. Local holders asloed as high as JS3.E0 yesterday, but there were no buyers at that price. . Dealers whothave made an effort to get oats In the Fast have not been able to ac complish anything. A wire from an Eastern house stated that prices had advanced sharply, as the cold weather reduced offer- ' Sngs to a minimum. Prloes ara also too high In Montana to permit oats being brought from that state. Canadian oats are out of the Question at present. The demand for barley Is almost as strong -as for oats, and offerings are on a very light scale. The rise In wheat prices In ths Eastern markets has further reduced the number of sellers In the Northwest. Buyers In this market Quote as fair prices $1.17 491.18 for bluestem and S1.051.07 for club, though as high as J1.10 has been paid for the lat ter. There were offera yesterday equivalent to 11.18 In the Big Bend country for blue stem, with farmers demanding $1.10. The most Interesting news of the day in the wheat market was a wire from Spokane re porting that there were Inquiries from the East In that market for wheat. l.ncal reoelpts in cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: - Wheat Barley Flour Oats Bay Monday Tuesday 77 64 10 15 21 19 12 14 11 l B Tear ago 2 2 Foason to date. 6431 91 Year ago .. .."978 1257 970 840 147B 468 538 1587 rot'LTRT MARKET IS VERT WEAK. Steady Jecline in Chicken Prices Turkeys Are Slow. Weakness Is still the feature of the poul try market. Reoelpts ara out of all pro portion to the demand and prices, es pecially of chickens, continue to decline. Sales of hens were made as low as 18 H cents yesterday. . For dressed turkeys, 25 cents was Quoted as the top. A car of mixed live poultry was received from East ern Oregon by a local packer andv will probably be held for the Christmas trade. Two cars of dressed turkeys and a car of docks, geese and chickens Is coming from the East for the holidays. The egg market was steady and un changed. An Improved demand ss expected for the next 10 days, which may cause a firmer market. Butter and cheese were acttve at nn ; ehanged prices. Condition of Foreign Grain Crops. Foreign crop condition are reported by the Liverpool Corn Trade News s fol- lows: United Kingdom The early planted wheat is In fine condition: rains, however, have stopped further sowing. franco, Italy. Fpain and Germany The crop outlook Is favorable and supplies of native wheat have increased; the weather is mild. Australia Harvesting is progressing and the weather is favorable. Our agent at New South Wales says: "The strike there le interfering with receipts at the sea board." Russia The entire wheat area with the exception of the extreme south is under : enow, which is favorable for the crop; stocks of wheat at the ports and also the interior are large. Roumanla The crop outlook Is favorable and supplies of both wheat and corn are liberal; the weather is mild. North Africa The crop outlook continues ; most favorable. Good Market In Or en Produce. Fresh produoe receipts were light yester day, but there were ample stocks on hand for the good demand that developed. An-, ! other shipment of. Japanese oranges was i put on sale at 1.25 1.60 per bundle. I Otherwise prices were unchanged. Cali fornia advices say that the damage by the recent cold weather to field sweet potatoes wss severe and that hereafter the trade will have to depend solely on cellar stock. Bank Clearings.

Afraid, to Order In Bast Because of XTncertaln Deliveries 'Butter and Eggs Firmer. SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 14. (Special.) Reports received here from Portland stated that dealers were offering 28 cents for tur keys there, which led dealers here to be lieve that a strong market Is In sight for the Chrlstmastlds. It is pretty certain that dealers will take no chances in ordering Eastern poultry with delivery as unsatisfac tory as at present. Retailers are not buy ing yet and dressed stock is nominal at 28 cents and live at 25 cents. The difficulty In getting butter and eggs through from the East Is stiffening those commodlltles. Feed dealers have decided to contest the new law effective January 1, compelling all mixed feeds to bear a state label. A test case will be brought. Navel oranges have dropped to $2.50, and at that price good ripe fruit moves brisk ly. Potatoes were stiller today, owing to light receipts. Only for an oversupply of inferior potatoes, prloes would advance. Twenty dollars was obtained for the best today. Florida grapefruit moves rapidly. Boat receipts from the South were below normal, and as a result stocks of green stuff are limited. In grain, the tone was firm, but prices are nominally unchanged. QUOTATIONS AT SAN FRANCISCO.

LEADERS ARE IRREGULAR Preparations for Enforcing the New Tax a Source of Disquiet to Cor porations Time Interest Rates Are Lower. irarw TOTRK. (Dee. 14. The stock market today wee srttH characterized by the wide movements) tn stocks not neoally prominent in the dealings. The sudden swakentnr into activity of these at advancing prices was ac companied In some cases by "dear' rumors. Hera and there were slight signs of reinvest ment demand, in anticipation of the profits to be available, for use after the first of the yea" . . In tho Bd market, where It is usual ly most marked, it has made no perceptible impression at all. the demand for bonds continuing- inert up to this time. , The speculative movement was halting and Irregular. Tbe active strength of the first hour seemed to be taken advantage of to effect some distribution of stocks and the' tone was drooping thereafter. The action of Reading was of large sympathetic effect in this result. That stock, after early strength, sold off on reports that the meeting of directors to act on the dividend would be held tomorrow. Attention was attracted by a report that the United . States Steel Corporation will as sign preferred stock for subscription to em ployee this year In pursuance of the profit sharing plan, instead of common stock, for which the employes were allowed to subscribe at 60 last January. Preparations for enforcing the corporation tax are a cause of disquiet to corporations. Adroit use Is being made in the speculation of the varying rumors of the merger of the so-called Guggenheim copper properties, of which official details were lacking today. Interest rates for 60 days and six months loans were lowered today, with increased of ferings and lessened demand. Call loans again touched 5 per cent. Foreign exchange rates were higher again today and gold was engaged for shipment to South America. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,622,000. United States Zs advanced H per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. .... . ign.
