THE MOKMAG OKEliOMAN, WEDNESDAY, DECE3IBEK 11, 1912. 361 FULL RATES PAID Fair Volume of Export Flour Business Is Passing. NORTH CHINA IS BUYING Orders AIo Arriving From tlio Jap anese Ports Xo Demand at Prcs out From Hongkong Wheat Selling Freer in the Country. Th export flour trade is of fair proportloi at the Dwent time and full pricw are ob telnable. Orders are coining- in mainly for Xorth fhina shipment and some business is also being done with the Japanese pun. There is practically no business under way with Hongkong, the demand from that quarter, for some reason, having ceasea. . Domestic trade, as usual at this time of year, is quiet, but prices on patents are being fully maintained. Mill feeds are firm at the recent advance. A somewhat freer selling movement is re ported in the wheat district. This, to aether with the easier markets East and abroad, has given values in the Northwest n weaker tone than prevailed last week. Tne same prices are being offered, however, but buyers are not keen to take noia. Oats and barley price are also un changed with but small volume of business passing. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows; Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 131 24 J Tuesday M 11 7S 1 11 7 Feason to date 7S 12R2 107 5S 104 ier ago wif - " Foreign crop conditions are summarised by the Liverpool Corn Trade News as xoi lows: I nited Kingdom There has been some land unsown to wheat as a result " rnnftnued wet weather. France The crop outlook Is generally favorable, although some land is still un seeded in the north and west. Supplies of native wheat are larger, witn prices easier. Foreign wheat and oats is being Imported freely for home consumption. Germany Large yields are confirmed, but the quality la rather poor. The demand for fore Jim wheat is slow. The weather Is seasonable. Russia The crop outlook is satisfactory. Bad roads are hindering supplies arriving from the Interior. Shipping on the Aioff Is about finished. The condition ot corn J bri. The weather Is seasonable. Koumania The land is too soft for sowing . and a fair decrease In acreage is expected. Arrivals from tho Interior are small. The condition of corn is bad. Australia Our agent estimates the crop of wheat of the commonwealth at tu.aw, ih0 bushels this rear. India The recent rains failed to reach some parts, but generally conditions are normal, with the weather at present gen erally favorable. Italr In the south there is active buy tng of foreign wheat, elsewhere dull. The weather is seasonable. THE HOP MARKET IS NOW BLOCKED Kerent Heavy Buying Put Growers Oat of Helling Mood. , Business In the local hop market yes terday slowed down materially. This was not because of any cessation in the de mand but because of -the practical with drawal of sellers fro"m the market. The blocking of trade was the natural result of the recent activity. Growers still hold Jng hops ask more money and buyers are not disposed to advance their bids. It Is uncertain how long the deadlock will last, but. in view of tho very small quantity rt hops remaining unsold it would look as if the holders hud the best of It. Dealers who have been making a canvass of the unsold crops aie confident that not over 10.00O bales remain In first hands In ' Oregon. This compares with a stock of about 6000 bales held In the state one year go. California has about 20,000 bales - compared with 8000 at this time last year. Washington growers hold 4000 bales against 2000 bales a year ago. . .... POIXTRY RECEIPTS LIGHT THIS WEEK Prices Are Improving. With sv Better De mand Eggs Accumulating. Poultry receipts so far this week have been lighter than lat week and with a mod crately good demand prices have shown some improvement. Chickens sold readily yesterday at i;i?13H cents. Arrivals of dressed hogs ha.ve fallen oft sharply, but the retail trade is fully sup plied and In the absence of demand, the low price is still quoted. There were signs of an accumulation of local eggs In some quarters, and asking prices were reduced. Cheese Is moving out better thsn last neek and the tone of the market Is better. There was no change In the butter situation. (OOD SCFPLY OF PKODt'CE ON (STREET Demand Is Principally for Bananas and Oranges Florida Fruit on Sale. Front street was well stocked with varieties of fruits and vegetables yesterday. but buying was on a rather moderate scale. The demand "waacIilefTy for bananas and for oranges. California navels are holding firm. A car of Florida oranges and grape fruit is on sale, the former at S4 and the latter at $4.25. A car of mixed vegetables and a car of celery are due today. Mohair Markets Are Quiet. Arrivals of Texas mohair in the Eastern markets are more numerous, but little has yet been sold. No foreign hair of any mo ment Is being Imported and prices for spot, while firm, show no advance. . The English market Is dull and uninter esting, new export orders being a minus quantity and eld business being moderate, exports of yarns being particularly slow. Advicei from the Cape indicate a fairly steady movement of .Winter hair, chiefly for Fnglish account, at Sd. Winter kinds bringing 14 4d.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. After another se vere break, which forced quotations to a new low level for tb protracted downward movement, the stock market rallied effec tively today. The recovery was not reg-arded as indica tive of a marked change in sentiment. The downward movement was begun on the rendition of the .Harriman decision and extended beyond a point to which the in fluence of that decision may be said to have made itself directly felt, and there has been no specific development since that time to account for the continued pressure. There was no apparent reason for a change in sentiment today, and it was the opinion of many market observers that the rally was due in large part to over-extension of short selling. The ooenlnsr was weak and through the morning there was a steady stream of sell ing orders, which at times almost demoral ised the market. Xo effective resistance was offered and stocks were unloaded In Increasing volume. Steel sold down to 64H, Union Pacific to 161, Reading to ltfo'i, and Amalgamated to 7u!4- Among the jess ac tive issues declines were more severe, ex tending to 15 points in Lackawanna and 11 in national .Biscuit. The turn in the market came with th noon hour and prices mounted steadily until Steel, Reading and a number of other im portant issues showed net gains of a point or more. Just btore the close tne maritei became heavy, although prices did not re lttriSA to th Ion- nnlnt of the dav. The Increase of 2r8,000 tons In the United States Steel Corporation's unfilled tonnage was regarded as a satisfactory snowing, nut was without influence on the market in Its present unsettled state. The bond market moved in close sym pathy with stocks, but some of the active issues showed less recuperative power. j.o tal sales, par value, 2.9:o,00Q. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
