Hurley Is Weaker iu California. Poultry Trade Is Slow. There wre Kastern inquiries in the hop market aguin yesterday, after a lull of several days, and the feeling In the mar ket wn thereby Improved. A number of purchases mere reported, including 600 bales bought by Catlin Unit at 21 cents and better, and 78 bales bought by J. J. Meta ler at 21 cents. The dealer do nut look for any material change in conditions for the ne'flt six weeks. Xt Is probable tire market will ruto quiet, but with s. sprinkling of orders now and than that will keep prices on a. steady basis until the expected heavy Spring de mand begins to make Itself felt. p G C SvMay returned, yesterday from an extended trip through the Eastern States. Ha found Industrial conditions Improving very-whone. London hop factors reports, bearing date of December 1, say in part: W!ld. Ni;m A Co. A fair inquiry con tinues for the hew bope remaining on the market. Values are without alteration. afang-er A Henley Thera Is no alteration ta report In our market during the past week. Prices remain Arm. W. H. & H. Le May There -Js a quiet and consumptive demand, especially for new bops suitable for copper purposes, prlcea for which continue to harden. There Is also some business being done in year lings snd older dates. Stocks of all de scriptions are in a very small compass. OREGON WOOL IN THE EAST. Most off the Stork Now Held 1 Coarse, Whic h Dealers Want to Sell. The condition of the Eastern market for Oregon wool Is reported by Fibre and Fabric, bf Boston, as follows: Many rumors have been going the rounds of the trade that holders of Oregon and California wools were shading prices. " If such Is the case the dealers are not willing to admit it. They do say. however, that most of the stock hold here Is coarse and ns the demand early next year will natural- be for fine wools, some dealers misrht tw a little anxious to sell now. Prices r- ported as paid for wools during the past w.ek do not indicate any weakness. A anle of 150,000 pounds of fine stapled Ore gon was made at '24rfi2nc. while 800,000 imuncis of California brought 23 ? 2fic ; the scoured basis of the latter Is 65 67c. In addition to this 80.0OO pounds of otoolce Humboldt wan taken at 30c and nearly 75, imio pounds of all kinds of Calif ormas at protons rates. TOO MANY EASTERN. EGGS ON HAND. Market I Weak For All Kinds Poultry I; Steady. The local egg market hasS-j-eceived a set back. Receipt of Oregon eggs are light but prices have declined o 40 42 cents. The trouble Is the present over stock of Bastem eggs. Not only Is Front street heavily supplied with the Eastern article, but Rastern dealers have also fllkxl up most of tbe retailers and the result is that prac tically no eggs of any kind are now moving In jobbing way. The Northern markets re in a similar condition and are not at present calling for ggs from Oregon. The poultry market was steady with the demand only a shade better than it has been. Chickens sold at oents and turkey t-84J6 cents. Cheese and butter were firm and un changed. KAsnat FEEjjyo ix btono market. Csdlfond Stocks Larger Than Expected d price There. Are Weak. "Wheat was strong yesterday, but not vrtlve. Some buying of club at $1.08 was -reported and $11 was offered for blue rem. with tl.ao asked by mast sellers. Tttm barley quotation remains at $S0. but tba feeling In the market Is easier because be weakness at pan Francisco. Stocks c tarley in California have been figured oat to be fiO.OOO ton greater than was ex ported, This baa also had a sympathetic fleot on the oats market. Sales of oats Vseterday at $32.50 were reported. Xocal receipts, in axs. were reported by tnt aferchanta Kxchange as follows: Wheat Barley Pinurfwt. ww Monday ....,., T7 Tuesday 4 "Wednesday a Thursday .-. a 4 Tear atfo ..... 4S Season to dato..4;!

Potatogrowers have been excited In the fast few dars by a few buyers offering above the enrrent prices, evidently expecting that tha market Is on the point of another ad vance, Tha result Is that most of the Belt ers have withdrawn and the shipping move ment has again fallen off. Based on price In California, the majority of the shipper are still bidding UtfTS cents In the country but the raising of these limits by a few others has almost blocked the market. In the meantime, farmers are taking advantage of the fine weather and digging operations re on a larjie scale. This big supply, should It be "thrown on the market soon, may have a bad. effect on prices. Fruit Trade 1 Not Active. The fruit and vegetable business was far from brisk. Rtyoipts during the day were two cars of oranges, a car of oranges and lemons and a car of cauliflower, a car of celery was due lost night. Navel oranges were the tlrmest feature of the fruit market. Tangerines are about all cleaned up. Another shipment of Jap anese oranges Is expected Monday. With the arrival of the next shipment of bananas the local price will be advanced. Uank ClrarliigH.

HAY MAY BE DUMPED EXLENSBti;G JOOIj EXI'ECTED TO BE SOLD SOOX. llrisk omun1 for Oranges at Seal tie Five Cars of Eastern Eggr Arrive. SEATTLE. Wash.. Doc. 16. (Special.) Feed dealers look for a crisis in the hay situation soon. That the entire holdings of the Ellenaburg long will be dumped at present prices, either in &eattte. Taooma or Portland, or in all three places, quietly if possible, is the opinion of dealers here. The bolder of ths bulk of the Kittitas crop is here. Seattle dealers paid $24 for tim othy hay iu Eastern Washington today. Oats were stiff. Wheat was not quite as firm, with $1.17 the top. Mills are handi capped on account of slow deliveries. Owing to a brisk demand for nayel oranges, particularly for the small sices, the supply of navels la about depleted, as far as the best sell-era are concerned. The scarcity of small navels has improved the demand for Japanese oranges. Heavy ship ments are due on the steamers scheduk-d to reach Seattle before the first of the year. Potatoes are easy and unchanged. To matoes are very scarce and in brisk de mand. Efforts are being made to secure stocks in Cuba and also in Mexico, but shipments from these countries will probably not reach Seattle until after the first of the year. A possible egg famine was beaded off today by the arrival of five carloads of Eastern eggs. One carload of -butter also arrived. Poultry receipts today were heavier. Considerable dressed - stock ar rived. Not many turkeys rame in. A brisk demand kept hens cleaned up. QUOTATIONS AT SAX FRANCISCO. Trices Paid for Produce In the Bay City Market. SAN FRANCISCO.

PRESSURE VERY LIGHT Demand- in the Remainder of the List Tnusually Small Operat ors Await tlie Passing of the Year - End Period, NEW YORK. Dec. lit. Difficulty "was found in throwing off the lethargic ten dency which crept into the speculation to day. The movement in prices was halting and irregular, and there were long pauses in activity, when many stocks practically dropped out of the trading. Forced ' sales under sueh circumstances cause ' widespread breaches in values and give an Impression of hollowness and of manipulative origin for tho short-lived actlrity. The principal interest of the traders to day was in attempting to draw deductions from the action of Reading as to the gen eral speculative position. Yesterday's divi dend increase did not induce sufficient new demand to lift the price. Adherents of the bull position derived considerable satisfac tion from the lightneas of the pressure to realize on the good news. The increase in the dividend has been so long anticipated and the price lifted so high that a violent reaction has been dreaded. As long ago as early September. Reading had risen to 173 in anticipation of a dividend in crease, and has not risen as high since. In view or the prolonged and constant spec ulative use which has been made of the higher dividend expectation fo Reading, the reactionary force in the stock today must be regarded as extremely moderate. The demand in the general list was scanty. The parsing of the year-end period was felt to be desirable before attempting large market operations. The question of a gold movement to Lon don was left open by the active demand for remittance in connection with year end requirements. The reduction in the premium of New York exchange at Chicago this week indi cates less Inducements here to draw funds from the interior. The new of the ab- paniea by the banking house which has j transacted the , recent financing of the American Telephone Company strengthened the impression of the interrupted compaign of consolidation of corporate interests which is In progress. .Bonds wore steady. Total sales, par value, 3fSti2.000. United States bonds were, unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

WA9HIXGTOX. Dec. 16.-That the phy sical form as well as the habits of living and ways of thinking of the descendants of foreigners who immigrate to America is different from that of their ancestors, is the conclusion of the Immigration Com mission, as embodied in the preliminary report of that body, whicll was presented to Congress today. The investigation was undertaken soon after the appointment of the commission and it was conducted in a scientific man ner. Professor Frank Boas, of Columbia Lniversity, was engaged as expert. The inquiry was confined to New York City, and bo far as the present report shows was restricted to Sicilians and Eastern European Hebrews. -Children born even a few years after the arrival of the immigrant parents in Amrica develop in such a way that they differ in type essentially from their foreign-born parents. Among other results noted, It is shown that the American-born children of the long-headed Sicilians and those of the round-headed East European Hebrews have nearly the same intermediate head form. The children of the long-headed Sicilian are more round-headed than their parents; the children of the round-headed Hebrew are more long-headed. Similar changes are traced in the development of the faces of these types. The amalga mation, is most rapid during the period immediately following the arrival of the immigrants. ' Up to this time the investigations have not been carried so far as to determine what happens in the secend generation of immisrrants, but it seems likely that the influence at work among the first genera tion born in America, will be -still further accentuated. The commission has also made the dis covery that as a rule there is a falling off in the size of the families fter their ,-irrival in the United States, and coinci dent with this discovery has come the more important revelation that as the number of children decreases, the size of the Individual Increases. Another result of the investigation is the development of the fact that, while removal from Europe to New York has had a beneficial effect upon the physique of the Eastern European Hebrews, the result has been just the opposite on the Sicilians, the conclusion being that, bad aat they are, the surroundings in New York are better for the Jews than in their city homes in the Old World, while the cramped quarters which the Sicilians occupy in New York Oity are not as de sirable as their rural surroundings in Southern Italy.
