Absence of Demand in the
Lo9al Market.
EUT PRICES HOLD STEADY
Northern Cities Getting Some Trade
With Mexico Four Thousand
Tons to Go South From Brit
ish Columbia Ports.
Trade is at its lowest ebb in the local
Hvheat market, wltti almost an entire ab
fnce of demand from any quarter. The
Js'orthern cities report a little business, but
Bothing is doing at up-country points. While
there are no buyers In the market there
an also no sellers, at least none willing to
aeriflce triMr -holdings, and although prices
are nominal the quotations show no change.
&l fairly steady tone prevails in the Eastern
nd foreign markets, bnt business., the world
ver is quwt.
A part of the small buying reported from
afhe Sound is for Mexican shipment. It is
Staid that 4000 tons have been sold to go
Youth, from British Columbia points and a
34 tie business of this character Is being
Ynoved at Seattle. The "Portland dealers
feave. mo far been unable to get any share
f the trade.
There Is very little doing In the coarse

:ngliNh Market Firm, Folio-winy tha Elec
tions. Xo business has developed yet in- the hop
market. A few orders are said to be on
hand, but Judging from appearances in the
local hop offices no serious efforts are be
ing mad to fill them. . '
Tho .New York Journal of Commerce of
February 4 reported conditions in the East
as fallows:
The loca I market was reported firm yes
terday with a strong undertone. Advices
from Otsrgo County stated that 10 bales
of primo had been sold there at 30c ; in
Lewis County -50 bales were taken on pri
vate terms. Cables from Germany stated
that prices w.mo higher than any time this
season, and bad reference to the recent ad
vance of 3c. The English markets were re
ported os llrm following the elect tone.
The Kentish Observer of January 27 said
of Una English markot:
Business in hops Is almost at a standstill,
only a few small transactions taking place
for actual requirements. Prices were firm,
in spite of the slow trade, being encouraged
by the exceedingly small stocks in the hands
of growers and merchants. Continental and
American markets are in a similar state to
our own, with the exception that the latter
.re rather higher for choice hops, but a
trtfte weaker for common qualities.

(Front Street Dealers Offer Candled Oregon
Stork at 28Va Cents.
The egg market is breaking badly. Sales
Were made in the forenoon at SO cents, but
late in the afternoon dealers were willing to
mcll guaranteed ranch eggs in any quantity
ks low as 2srj, cents. Receipts wera not
heavy, but seemed more than ample. At
any rate, ro one was disposed to hold eggs,
and the pressure to sell, of course. Increased
the weakness.
The poultry market was very strong.
Chickens sold readily at IS cents and every
thing else was high. Arrivals of all kinds
were small.
The cheuse market was firm with most
dealers quoting flats at 20 cents. Butter
Was steady and unchanged.
Good Demand for Vegetables.
Receipts of green produce from the South
yesterday consisted of only a car of cab
tmge and a car of cauliflower. The demand
Tor vegetables was good and prices generally
were firm.
Oranges moved well when the right kind
ft quality was offered. The demand for
-apples was fairly good.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9. When prices of
stocks started upward th is morning from 2
to over 3 points for the majority of the ac
tive vpecuriative issues, it was read as a
reversal of policy on the part of the great
controlling financial powers, rather than as
reflecting any sudden change in the condi
tion of affairs.
Practical suspension of efforts to support
the market has been its marked character
istic throughout the severest portion of the
recent depression. The effect of this with
drawal of support has been a potent factor
n creating a spirit of uneasiness regarding
the market situation. It has caused the
impression that inside interests in the great
corporations and the financial Institutions
were acutely apprehensive of their own fu
ture on account of the rigor of laws, both
those )n force and those in contemplation.
Whatever may be the real sentiment of
the ruling financial powers on this subject,
there has grown up a spirit of criticism of
the policy of lavint the securiites open to
factors of depression without attempts to
contest them. There were reports today of
this criticism having takrtn the form of
open and sharp reproof from a section of
the banking worid representing the great
commercial and mercantile interests in dis
tinction from the financial relations of the
majority of the Wall street banks.
Whatever the inspiration, the stock mar
ket gave clear evidence f mm the outside
today that the downward drift of prices was
toy be no longer unopposed. The late drive
at the market yesterday had to be made
at the rebound.
The effect of the rcovry on sentiment
was obvious- "-More cheerful views were ex
pressed of business. Industrial and political
prospects.
The December earnings of the New York
-Central lines gave material for a summing
up of the year's results and were made the
text for comparisons of conditions and
prices. The combined operations of all the
lines in the system showed1 gross earnings
lor the 12 moi.ths of 233,845,503, an expan
sion of J2i,2S5.Gl7 over the year before.
The increase in net earnings, allowing for
the growth of - operating expenditures,
amounted to $17,4o3.41, which is more than
43 per cent greater than for the calendar
year 190S.
The fact that New York Central shares
sold this week lower than In February of
last year was made matter for lone com
mentary on relative conditions then and
now in the light of the year's operating re
sults. New York Central's response revived
the buying and completed the rout of the
shorts, who bought very heavily in the
closing dealings, extending the principal
gains from 3 to 5 points.
