ORDERS FROM EAST
Business Again Under Way in
the Hop Market.
FEELING . IS IMPROVED
I
W heal I irmly Held at All Points.
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.

Potalogrowers are Excited.
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.

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.

READING HOLDS UP
Moderate Reactionary Ten
dency in the Stock.
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.

FOREIGN TYPE IS KEPOIJT,
Coiiii.ii--t.ion Xotes Great Clianpes in
First Generation of Sicilians
and Jews In Xew York.
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. ' -- .
