OTHERWISE DOLLAR GRAIN Fanners Are Not Letting Go at Pres ent Prices Large Receipts at Tidewater for California and Oriental Shipment. There would have been a dollar wheat market In the Northwest yesterday with out doubt but tor the breaks at Chicago and Liverpool, which took some of the wind out of the sal la of the bulla. As It was, the local market was quoted at 99 cent on bluestem and it was firm at that. A lit tle business has bean done already at $1, but It Is understood to have been for par ticular lots for special requirements. Opera tions in the country were reduced to a min imum because of the extreme bullishness of farmers. Offers of 86 cents were made for club and &&hi cents for red. Wheat Is coming; to tidewater now In quantities equal to the movement of last Fall. Receipts at Portland yesterday were 162,500 bushels and the arrivals for last week were- 738,400 bushels. Most of this grain Is destined for California and some of it Is understood to bo awaiting; shipment t Japan. The oats market was firm, particularly In the Interior, where holders asked top prices.

Apple market conditions In London, ac cording to W. Dennis & Sons' report of Feb ruary 15: The box Newtown trade In Liverpool Is absolutely stagnant and there are, in our opinion, too in any on the market and on the water to permit of any rise on present figures for some little time. In London extru fancy Oregon Newtowns, scald free, are wanted at about 10s. but unfortunately a good portion of the arrivals this week have been more or less scalded, the discolor ation depreciating values anywhere from Is fcd to 3s 6d per box. The barrel Albemarle trade Is slow, the demand no doubt being adversely affected by the low prices ruling for box Newtowna We give below current quotations.

LONGS ARE BUYERS Uninterrupted Advance in Wall Street Stocks OFFERINGS ARE LIMITED Important Operations for London Account Coppers Signer on Metal Rise Bond Market .. Is Firm and Active. XEW YORK, March 3. Operations on the long side of the stock market were con ducted confidently today. For the present. at least, there is a reaction from the ex treme pessimism of the last few weeks. The supply of stocks was limited and bear traders were unable to discover a weak spot of any Importance In the list. No at tempt was made to force up prices with a rush, bnt the slow, creepinc advance went on virtually without Interruption until many of the leading stocks bad gained two or three points. The coppers. Pacifies and Steel were In especial demand. There was some profit-taking toward the close, whlca scaled down prices. It was assumed that National politics would hold first place this week in the talk of the street. Political considerations have played such a large part in the de cline of the last "tew weeks that traders were Inclined to await definite indications of the attitude of the new Administration before entering on extended new commit ments. An important factor In the day's advance was London buying. Amalgamated was In good demand from abroad and there was considerable buying of Steel, Canadian Pa ciflc and Erie. The advance in the copper stocks was In sequence to the rise in the metal markets. London reported a considerably higher range of prices, and In the domestic market there was a stronger tone. The world-wide demand for money and the poor showing of the banks last week were reflected in the strong tone of the money market, call funds opened at per cent. The bond market was firm Total sales, par value. 32,150,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C. Wilson & Co., Lewis building. Portland.

ALL CEREALS ARE WEAK Estimates That Farm Reserves Will Exceed Accepted Figures Have De- pressing Effect on Market. ' Foreign Advices Bearish. CHICAGO. March J. Estimates that farm reserves go far beyond accepted figures had a depressing Influence today on wheat. The market closed heavy to o net lower. Corn finished ttt$c to o down, oats off 4 to c, and provisions varying from SHc decline to an advance of 92 Ho. In the face of supporting ordera from big houses, bear leaders In the wheat pit sold right and left and forced a decisive break. Trade reached the largest volume in several weeks. - Both foreign and domestic condi tions were against the bulls, ndla sent word that a normal yield was now expected. world shipments were larger than had been looked for, and the outlook throughout the United States Winter -erop belt put . the bears on their mettle. Primary receipts were 1,080,000, against 627,000 . bushels a year ago; eaboara clear ances equalled 278,000 bushels. Corn eased eft on account of wheat weak ness and because of favorable weather. The bear ' side received aid also from a gain in the visible supply total and from the record-breaking estimated farm reserve. Oats likewise dragged lower In conse- ouence of an asserted record reserve. Profit-taking by longs took some of the edge from a sharp advance m provisions. The upturn was due to scarcity of hogs and to a bullish report as to packing-house stocks on hand. The leading -futures r-mged as follows: WHEAT. Open.. High. Low.
