TIIE. MORXING OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1912.
E
Active Demand for the Best
Grades on the Coast.
OTHER KINDS ALSO FIRMER
Prices Locally Are Fully Two Cents
Higher AH Around California
Market Strong With Up to
21 3-4 Cents Bid.
Choice Oregon hops are passing out of
(rowers' band at a rapid rate. The up
ply Is limited and sales are effected with
out trouble. The demand for the lower
trades la not so keen as that tor choice.
but even primes and mediums are stronger
than they were a short time ago. Sales
are being made at 17 and 17 cents of
hops of a grade that three weeks ago
would not bring over IS or 14 cents.
Choice hops are firm at 20 cents. Klaber,
Wolf ft Netter yesterday bought about ISO
bales at this figure. Whitman Shorten
paid Uty cents for the Johnson lot of 100
bales at Aurora. Other business was done
within the range of 18 H to JO cents.
The California market is strong and work
ing upward. The strength there Is very
likely to affect values In this state In the
near future. As high as 21 cents was
bid yesterday for special lots in the Men
docino section.
No European cables came through.
NO FOKEIGX DEMAND FOB WHEAT
'Cargoes Cannot Be Sold Abroad, Though
Markets There Are Steadier.
Continued quietness prevails In the wheat
market. The undertone of the market Is
about steady, but most of the dealers do
not quote over 77 cents for club or 81 cents
for bluest em. The Liverpool market,- -ac-
eordlng to cables, was In good shape, and
Chicago closed steady to firm. The for
eigners, however, would not buy cargoes.
With no European demand for wheat and
the Oriental flour demand almost flat, deal
ers regarded the situation as pointing to
lower prices. Foreign conditions are such,
however, that the wheat trade situation
Inay any time change over night. The at
titude of farmers in the Northwest is not
the same as in former years. Heretofore.
they were generally ready to sell on de
clines, but this year price reductions only
top the selling movement, and when any
wheat is let go it is only on advances and
not much then.
la the coarse cereals conditions were as
formerly, with a firm underlying feeling,
and only small lots changing hands.
Liocal receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows;

Foreign crop conditions are summarised
by the Liverpool Corn Trade News as fol
lews:
United Kingdom The condition of the
wheat has Improved, owing to the dry
leather which has prevailed for the past
w eek. ' The sowing of the new crop Is pro
gressing lavoraoiy.
France The outlook for the seedlngs Is
ravorsble. although some rain would be de
sirable.. Supplies of native wheat from the
interior have increased, for which there, is
a good demand.
Germany The sowing of rye la finished.
but wheat sowing is backward. Supplies of
-wneat are only moderate, with some of the
arrivals showing very poor condition. Sup
Tiles of oats are scarce. The weather is
favorable.
- Hungary According "to an official report
the weather has been unfavorable for the
. plowing for the new wheat crop, and also
for the growth of the corn and potato crop,
bat recent estimates are being maintained.
Roumanla The weather is rainy, which
Is unfavorable for the corn crop. Stocks of
wheat are Increasing.
Russia The outlook - for the seedlngs Is
favorable. Arrivals are variable, with stocks
increasing.
Australia Present Indications point to a
recorQ crop.
Argentina According to present reports,
the outlook for the wheat crop Is favorable.
India The outlook for the seeding Is
eansraciory. uia wneat is being freely of
fered. FRUIT TRADE AFFECTED BT WEATHER
Grapes Still the Firm Feature Only Cheap
Apples Wanted.
The inclement weather has at last af
fected the fruit demand and trading yes
terday was rather light.
Grapes continue the firmest feature. An
other car of Tokays arrived from Cali
fornia yesterday, . and sold at the former
firm prices, no Oregon grapes or peaohes
were reported in.
There was but little demand for apples
except the cheaper grades. Most retailera
want stock that they can sell at 81 or
less.
A car of California tomatoes was received
and quoted firm at 75 cents. California
shippers are offering head lettuce in car
lots, but local dealers consider the season
too early yet. Celery is clearing up better
without Improvement In price.
Poultry Prices Are Improving.
The poultry market la improving slowly
under moderate receipts and better buy
ing. Hens sold yesterday at 14 1414 cents
and Springs brought the same price. Other
kinds were in fair demand. Dressed meats
are still qulat and inclined to be weak..
The egg market was firm at 40 centa
for fresh Oregona. No. 1 Eastern -Aprils
were quoted at 85 cents.
The dairy produce markets were without
, change. '
Bean Acreage la Small.
Stockton advices by mall say that the
bean acreage ia very small, but the yield
ia a very good one. "Were it not for a large
carryover from last year's crop there would
probably be a scarcity of beans, as this
season's crop is only about 60 per cent of
the total yield In this country in 1811," says
the Stockton report, "Pink, blackeye and
white beans are being threshed and al
though they will not be fully matured for
two or three weeks yet they are in good
condition for the trade."
Seeking Market for Alfalfa Seed.
VALE. Or.. Oct. 22. (Special.) Farmers
In the Malheur Valley have begun to won
der whether they are to find a market for
their alfalfa seed, which, has been harvested
for some time. Last year at this time
there were many inquiries from seed buy
ers all over the Northwest, and there waa
ready sale for more seed than the farmers
had. This year very few sales have been
made, and the demand seema to be dis
couraging. There Is considerable seed in
the Valley.

Hogs Sell at $8.65 Cattle Jlove at
Unchanged Prices Delayed
Receipts.
' Trading at the stockyards subsided in a
material degree yesterday, only about live
loads being sold. Ten loads of cattle and
hogs arrived late In the day. but the quan
tity available for the regular market waa
small. .
Price conditions were not materially
changed. The several lots of cattle dis
posed of went at usual prices, quality con
sidered. Hogs brought $8.65,
The Livestock Reporter says of conditions
In the hog market:
"The strong markets in the Middle west
have made it Impossible for Coast packers
to Import swine supplies and as there are
60 per tent more home-grown hogs available
this year than last, conditions have worked
out Just right for the selling end. Ordi
narily a pork deluge such as that of the
lust six weeks would have caused a panic in
prices, but there never has been a time when
the hog market was In great danger of
breaking. Top quality light swine have

Stock Values Recover in Spite

LONDON IS AGAIN A BUYER
With Subsidence of Trading tnto la
the Iay, Early Gains Are large
ly Lost Sub-Treasury Draws
Heavily on Banks.
NEW YORK, Oct- 88. War In the Balkans
was again a paramount influence In thi
stock market today. There was an ab
sence, however, of yesterday's heavy liqui
dation for foreign account. Indeed, Lon
don bought moderately here of United States
Steel, Amalgamated Copper and other spe
cialties. AH European markets continued to mani'
fest uneasiness, London taking more stocks
from Paris and Berlin. The latter exchanges
were weak, Canadian Pacific declining I
points In Berlin on what appears to b
urgent selling.
The opening here displayed some irregu
larity, followed by general Improvement,
and by midday some substantial gains were
reoorded, chiefly In the coalers, union fa
clflc Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
In the latter part of the session trading
feu away until it failed to possess any sig
nificance, the only feature being the actlv
ity In Chlno Copper at a new high record.
Towards the end prices fell steadily until
little remained of the early gains. Union
Pacific and Lehigh Valley being especially
heavy.
Call loans opened at S per cent and the
creator part of the day s offerings were at
that figure. Local banks suffered another
heavy drain to the Subtreasury, their total
loss since last Friday approximating 86,
000,000. The market for time money was
dull but steady.
The bond list. In its heaviness, followed
the course of stocka Total sales, par value,
aggregated $1,700,000. United States Gov
ernment bonds were unchanged on call.
