THE MORXING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1912.
PINK SALMON FIRM
Strongest Feature of the
Canned. Goods Market.
PACKERS HAVE WITHDRAWN
Decline to Sell at the Opening
Prices Pack- Is One Million.
Cases Less Than Last Year's.
Kice Prices High.
The most Interesting feature of the
canoed goods market Just now la the
atrencth of pink salmon. Some of the
packer have withdrawn their stocks from
: the market and decline to sell at the op-
entng- prices. The pack is 1,000.000 cases
' less thsn last rear's and the packers feel
that the market will clean up and that the
: man who holds will get a better price
later.
There was m large pack of red. salmon,
bat the price Is reasonable, being 20 cents
less than last Tear's, and the fish Is going
Into consumption fast.
The Columbia River pack, which is short,
is completely sold up and packers are mak
ing 40 to 60 per cent deliveries.
The rice market In the South has opened
this year 75 cents a barrel higher on rough
rice than last year. The opening In 1911
was 13.25 and the price later advanced to
4.23. This year the market has opened
at 4 and since the opening has been very
ttnxu
Louisiana rice Is on the market In plen
tiful supply and Texas rice Is coming on
the market now. The Texas mills are hold
ing. If anything, stronger than the Louisi
ana mills.
f-CENT ADVANCE IN XBW YORK HOPS
Bids of 87 Cents Are Sow Being -Made in
- That State So Loral Mies.
No business was reported in the local hop
market yesterday and so far as could be
learned no bids were made. ' A good many
growers are now seeking to get in touch
with buyers, which would seem to promise
a large and early selling movement.
A California wire reported the sale of
318 bales of prime Sonumas at 18 cents.
A New York wire announced that bids In
- that state had been raised to 27 cents, but
growers are holding for 30 cents. The
Continental markets again Improved. An
nual circulars received from two London
hop firms comment on the future prospects
of the market as follows:
'Considering what the hops have had to
put up with, they are looking better than
could have been expected. In addition to
excessive rains and low temperature, a very
severe attack of aphis blight was defeated
only by persistent washing.
"It Is our oplnlon-xhat the quality of the
English growth, with fine weather now,
will be distinctly good, although the quan
tity will average less per acre than that of
last year. We should Estimate that the pro
duction cannot exceed '300.000 cwt, or half
our annual consumption, but should unfa
vorable weather continue this estimate will
have to be seriously reduced. Stocks here
are nearly exhausted, and the demand, as
soon as the hops are on the market, must
be great." W. H. & H. Le May.
"The English crop, provided that good
weather prevails until the end of the plck
iug, promises to be of very good quality
and of about equal quantity to that of last
year. Stocks of all kinds are exceedingly
small and brewers' requirements are increas
ing on account of advancing consumption of
beer. It Is evident that trade must be good,
and this crop should meet a good demand
and-- bring --remunerative prices, thus en
abling growers to recoup the very heavy
expenses Incurred la- Its production under
adverse conditions. From the Continent
there is an expectation of a crop above the
Average, but as harvesting Is being done In
very - Inclement weather the quality . and
color must therefore be affected. As
prices ruled very high there last season,
theu- brewers will no doubt avail themselves
of the opportunity 'to buy sufficient for their
current needs and also enough to form a
reserve for the future. In America the
crop is reported to be larger than last year,
' but the quality must be deteriorated by re
cent serious attacks of vermin and by un
favorable weather. .With a great Increase
In population In the States and In Canada
their consumption of beer Is larger and
must reduce the quantity of hops available
for exportation." J. H. Matthews.
TALL CLIP MOHAIR 13 ADVANCING
Growers In Texas Are Now Asking 34 Cents
and Withdraw First Quotations.
Domestic mohair values are showing an
. upward tendency. Fall Texas hair is evi
dently In good demand, says the New York
Journal of Commerce, for the reports re
ceived from that state are to the effect
that growers are declining to entertain
propositions that are not up to their Ideas
of what the fibre should bring. The con
sumption of mohair promises to be unus
ually good during the next six months.
Manufacturers are showing a wider range
of -mohair fabrics than In past seasons, and
as the demand has been encouraging the
outlook for mohair fabrics Is considered
promising. a
The opening quotation on Texas Fall mo
hair was 33c a pound. Bids of 32c a pound
were refused this week. and. within a day
or two growers telegraphed that the first
quotation had been withdrawn and that
the ruling price was 34c.
CAR YAKIMA PEACHES Dl'E TODAY
Stocks on the Street Are Small and Prices
Are .Firm.
A few shipments of Salway peaches ar
rived from The Dalles yesterday and sold
at 40 cents. Stairs brought from 40 to 00
; cents, according to quality. A car of
Yakima Klbertas Is du today. j
The grape market is firm In California,
but the tone of the local market Is rather
easy, as a good many of the offerings were
of poor quality, owing to the late rains
in the South. Local prices ranged from 00
cents to $1.15 per crate. Concords sold at
17H 20 cents.
. Other kinds of fruit were In fair demand
and unchanged in price.
DEALERS PAYING BO CENTS FOR CLCB
Quote Export Value at 78079 Cents, but
Buying For More.
Trading in the wheat market continues
on a rather light scale. Local dealers are
trying to buy club In the country at 78 to
79 cents, which represents export ' values,
but at the same time some of them are pay
ing 80 "cents.
Barley Is quoted steady at unchanged
prices, with a good demand for both feed
and brewing. The undertone of the oats'
market is easy. w

AN ATNEVREGQRDS
Preferred Stock Scores a Gain
of Five Points.
COMMON ALSO ADVANCES
General Market Is Irregular With
Early Gains Which Are Afterward
Lost Money Firm but With
Lighter Demand.
"NEW YORK. Sept. 1. The stock market
opened with another upward swing today,
but .much of the advance was lost by mid
day, when the movement became sluggish
and irregular, except in a few specialties,
among wblch American Can common and
preferred were 'especially prominent for
new high records. The preferred registered
a maximum gain of five points, with about
half as much for the common.
As a whole, operations were even more
professional than usual. Surface conditions
indicated that the more substantial Inter
ests are still opposed to anything like a
concerted or ' comprehensive . rise until the
political and financial sltuatiosj emerge
from their present uncertainty. .
Demand for money was light, but rates
for all dates held firm. Local banks re
ported a better inquiry for commercial
paper.
Outflow of money for the week has again
assumed very large proportions.
General news of the day Included an In
crease In coal, rates at Pittsburg and uncon
firmed rumors that Middle Western jobbers
had advanced finished steel products $3 per
ton.
A firmer tone was shown by London dis
counts. The most noteworthy feature of
the Bank of England's statement was Its
$2,600,000 loss of gold. '
Boqds were irregular, with a broader de
mand.. Total sales, par value, aggregated
$1,880,000. United States Government bonds
were unchanged on call.

Foreign Markets Indifferent to vhe
Recent Strength on This. Side,
and Prices Are Uncertain
- . From - the Start,
CHICAGO. Sept. 19. Although speculative
Interest today centered in corn, efforts to
hoist the price of that cereal proved only
partly .successful. The close was irregular,
varying from half a cent off to a like
amount up. Wheat finished c to c
down.
Bulls in corn acted chiefly on statements
from an expert in Nebraska that ylelas
there . were disappointing, as well as in the
Southwest. - Liberal buying of December and
May. corn on the part of a. leading firm
lifted - the market- sharply after an early
show, of weakness, due to the nonappear
ance of predicted frost. A falling off In
Argentine shipments helped the upturn.
Indifferent response which cables made to
strength on this side fumed the wheat mar
ket downward. A backset in corn prices
counted, too, against the bulla The open
ing was unchanged to c lower. . De
cember started at 91c to 91c, the same
as last night to c down, and fell to 91c
Subsequently the wheat market rallied in
consequence of an advance In corn. The
clone was steady, but c n,et lower for
December, at 91 81 c
, Oats closed ranging from a shade loss to
c advance.
Provisions closed- unchanged to a rise of
12 c.
