WAVE OF HOP BUYING
Dealers Take Hold Freely at
Present Prices.
GROWERS READY SELLERS
Between 2000 and SOOO Bales -Are
Bought From Farmers, Mostly
Low Grades Bulk of Transac
tions Are at 1 0 to ie Cents. ,
Another hop buying flurry haa struck the
Oregon market. Induced by the fact that
prires now asked by growers coincide with
the vlewa of buyers. In other word the sell
ing pressure is such that dealers find it an
'easy matter to buy at current prices, which
are somewhat lower than those prevailing
two weeks ago. Prices of the lowest grade,
are now closo to the cost of production, and
in view of the statistical position of the
market, and its" possibilities, these prices
are becoming more attractive to buyers of
a speculative turn, although it Is not be
lieved that any speculative buying has been
done yet. Favorable developments, should
they come, are not expected before the
Spring market arrives.
Transactions during the present week ag
gregate in quantity between B00O and 3000
bales. The purchases were made at the
wide range of S to 18 cents, with the bulk
of buying at 10 to 12 cents. .
C M- Werner has bought in the past two
days 800 bales at S to 17 cents, all in this
state. George W. Lewis, who buys fos Hugo
Loewl. is also reported to have bought 00
hales at 10 to IS cents. Dorcas Bros, during
the week, purchased close to S00 bales at
the same prices. H. L. Harfs purchases In
the last two days were 500 baits at 10H
to 18 cents. Klaber. Wolf Netter and
A J Ray Son have also been in the
market. In fact nearly all the dealer, have
made purchase, of some extent during ths

tors say:
Wild. Neame & Co. We have no altera

Trade is quiet and where hops are preased
for sale values favor purchasers.
Manger Henley The general business
during, the past week has again been of a
quiet nature. Prices, where sales are pr
favor buyers, but otherwise remain unaltered
W H. H. Le May Although the general
trade during the past week has been quiet
several of the choicer growths of East and
Mid Kent passed out of growers' bauds. In
consequence of the quietness of the general
trade, prices must be quoted slightly in buy
ers' favor for all but the choicest.

KLOl'B SlTU.Vr.ON IN FAR EAST
KBert of High Freight Rate, and Wheat
Buying on Trade.
Reportins on the flour situation la the
orient Vk--Con.u!-Gcnral A. E. Carlton.
..f Hongkorg. says:
"The lack of available tonnage and tne
consequent increased freight rate, from the
IMcifio Coast are Important features in the
Hour stluatlon In the Far East and there
I no apparent likelihood that this condi
tion will h.j changed for the next Ave or
-x m.mth. For October and November
.l.'lyrl.s ths rates have Increased In some
'nances to $r..M- gold currency per ton and
therefore the .arge dealers of flour are not
,., re-basin,- er.rcpt of certain brand, which
it is necessary to keep in stock. As a mat
ter tf fart the present supply In Hongkong
and Shanghai, with tho 1.WO.00O bags en
route, is sufficient to meet all demands for
five or six months and importers are not
anxious to Increase the supply, believing
that In January or February shipowners
will be willing to take a lower rate.
To add to tills ununnl situation, the
Japanese "had bought up to early Septem
ber something like 40.000 tons of wheat be-.aus-
of the very high price of rice, and
Japanese bottoms alone are bringing out
this wheat, thereby shutting out dour and
other merchandise.
The price of flour on the Pacific Coast is
comparatively low. yet it would be possible
to compete with the heavy ontput of the
Shanghai mills It the freight rates were
more or less the same as last year. The
f ct that large consignments of flour from
Shanghai are being shipped to Canton and
other coast ports of South China was not
altogether anticipated, but it la not ex
pected that thl. will have any effect on
flour for future delivery."
FAST WILL WANT WHEAT UTKB
t.ood Trade With the Orient Is Also Ex
pected Present Market Dull.
There was but little doing In the wheat
market yesterday. Club wa quoted at 77
?78 cent, and bluestem at 80 31 cents,
tmt ttaee prices did not appeal to holders.
The Eastern demand for wheat has
quieted down, present requirements being
tilled, but advices from the East are that
purehasina will probably be heavy after the
first of tho year.
There is some buying of wheat for the
Orient, but In a limited way. This business
Is also likely to assume much larger pro
portions after tho turn of the year. Sup
piles of native Asiatic wheat are known to
be practically exhausted and as the Aus
tralian crop is short, this fact will turn the
Oriental buyers to the Pacific Coast for
what they need.
Weekly foreign wheat shipments were as

ALL KINDS OF POULTRY WEAK
Snpply Is Too Largo for Present Require
ments oooa rgs r inn.
The poultry market was weak all around.
Some of the dealers cleaned up their stocks
of chic-kens, which were large, at 12 cents
and others are said to have sold at 11
cents. More turkeys came In thsn were
wanted and all were, therefore, not sold.
Good dressed stock waa quoted at 233 24

shppty.
There was a scarcity of both pork and
veal, whlrh were firm at unchanged price..

TURKISH SITCATIOX AI'EXTTS
THE SECVRIT1ES MARKET.
Liquidation Weakens Prices in Wall
Street, hut the Xet Declines
Ato Small.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. In response to
profit taking sales, following yesterday,
rise, and some selling by London, stocks
weakened today. The opening was lower
and price, eased off in the morning. Trad
ing fell off to nominal proportions In the
last half of the day and prices were vir
tually at a standstill.
London selling was regarded as the sig
nificant development of the day. It was
estimated that 20,000 to 30,000 shares were
sold here by London, which recently has
been repurchasing American securities dis
posed of at the outbreak of tho Balkan
war. This selling was attributed In part
to uneasiness over the rejection by the
Turkish government of peace term
Another explanation was that the selling
was London's reply to the engagement of
gold there for this country. A further en
gagement of tSOO.000 gold was announced
today.
For a time today there was some buy
ing of stocks by traders who took the
ground that strong influences lined on the
bull side were responsible for yesterday's
upturn. This buying was more than off
set, however, by liquidating sales and Lon
don selling, the Utter being the most ef
fective in Union Pacific, Reading and Amal
gamated. Losses were restricted to frac
tions in most case Canadian Pacific de
clined two points.
Tho bond market was quiet and irrefru
Iar. Total sales par .valua $1,375,000.

Market Affected by Argentine
Weather Reports.
FINE FOR HARVESTING NOW
Primary Receipts Are Three Times
as Large as a Tear Ago, and
This Also Bears on Prices.
Close Is Steady.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Argentine and do
mestic conditions proved more influential
than war news today in wheat. As a re
sult, the market, although steady at the
close, finished c to Ao off.
Prices throughout the day felt the effect
of a return of fine weather for the begin
ning of the Argentine harvest. Further
heaviness resulted from the fact that pri
mary receipts in the United States were
more than three time. a. large as a year
ago.
Fine weather enlarging the receipts and
Improving the .grade of corn made that
cereal easy.
Oats held steady.
Heavy receipt, gave provislqp. a set
