TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER S7, 1913. COFFEE HI BOTTOM Market Has Again Started to Climb. CROP ESTIMATES ARE CUT Shipment or Fancy Sumatra, Bought by Local Roaster in Europe, Will Arrive Soon on Itoyal Mall Liner. The Royal Mai! steamer Den of Crombie, due here from Europe early In October, brings a shipment of fancy Sumatra coffee, purchased In Amsterdam by a Portland roaater and Importer. The Portland buyer, ever ready to purchaae In the market af fording the beat coffee at the cheapest price, went to Europe for hla fancy Sumatra and Java, when auch coffees were not obtain able In the usual marets, except at a de cided premium over the price prevailing six months aito. I-aek of saillnc vessels, in insurable con dition. In the East Indian to New York trade has made the fancy Sumatra market advance from 1 to cents per pound in the past six months. Sumatra coffees owe their peculiar flavor to the agin or browning- received in the holds of sailing vessels crossing the equator twice In tho trip from the East Indies to New Tork. The European connections of Terkes Co., coffee brokers, writing regarding the mar ket on brown coffees, ssys: "We are mak ing you by this mail various offers of yel low coffees and we beg to observe that these coffees are in very Mmtted offering Just now as a consequence of growers In the country of production having sold next to all the production In the fresh state. Yerkes Co.. commenting on the Brarll market, say: "The hop that the market would be maintained for some time to come st no higher level than that prevailing dur ing the past two months has gone gllmmer 15. upon receipt of authentlo news from Brazil reducing present crop estimates from 1? fioo 00O bars to 9.000.000 or 9.500.00O bags ,j the further reports Intimating T.500.000 to 8.5O0.000 baSs for the 1914-1915 crop. We look to see a gradual advance In coffee values, such advance being hastened or re tarded In the degree that the bullish reports are accepted by the trade. -The shortage of mild eoffees.of desirable grades 1. having Its effect, with the result thst Central American. Colombian and Mexi can coffees are now priced, not according to their real worth, but according to their value, made by large demand and small supply. . "Present prices on coffee In general would seem to bs as low as wo will see this crop vear. but there Is still hope that no great advance will occur and that the market will remain on about today's level. HOP BUYING IS NOW MORE ACTIVE Growers Are Holding Firmly at All Points on Pacific Coast. Hop buying was more active yesterday, but no Increase n price was reported. Buy ers are paying more attention to tho lower grades, and bops to be had around 25 cents were freely taken. Prim to choice lots brought 26 and 2H cents. In Wash ington, where operations have recently been heavy, SV4 and 27 cents was offered. Dealers estimate the unsold stock In Ore gon at about 60.000 bales. California wires received yesterday said that only about 30. 000 bales are left unsold there. This was on tho basis of a MO.OOO-bale crop for Cali fornia. Even if the crop should prove to be less, this Indicates a remarkable clean up for this early date. Growers at all points on tho Coast ars holding well, and there Is nowhere any evi dence of pressure to sell. A cable from Ironmonger, of London, said: "Market Is strong, with every Indication of advance." Manger A Henley, of London, aay In their annual review of the hop market: "We. estimate the yield will prova to be about 300.000 cwts. on. say 30.000 acres, be ing about half our consumption. From re liable Information tho Continental crop Is estimated at nearly two-thlrda of last yesr. Reports from America speak of an average crop, and estimate their yield about the same as last year. "We never remember reserve stocks of all kinds being lower than at the present time. This, coupled with the fact that our crop 4. ..i. hnut half our reaulrements. with Jlttlo or no competition from the Continent, makes us confident that enhanced prices must necessarily prevail, and the English grower thus bo compensated for his strenu ous efforts and tho great outlay which he has Incurred." 1 INDERTONE IX WHEAT MARKET WEAK limited Amount of Club Bought at 19 Cents. Coarse Grains lira. The feeling in the wheat market is still weak, but dealers find It difficult to buy In tho country at lower prices.

RETAIL BUSINESS GOOD Operations Are Larger Than at This Time Xast Tear, and Money Is Easier Dry Goods Trade Is Active. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. Bradstreeta will say tomorrow: Distributive trade has held the center of . l - ..I. w anj in this line, dry goods, clothing and wearing apparel gener ally have been most active, oom at u'D sale and retail. Trade tendenclea In gen eral, however, are onward, and though there are enough exceptions to prevent uniformity, business affairs show further improvement. This manifestation may very properly be corelated to the fact that stocks every where are light, that rains In the Southwest have superinduced a better feeling there, that colder weather over a wide area In the fore part of the week furnished a re minder that heavy goods were needed, be sides affording a stimulus to retail trade, and that the crop movement had enlarged, with farm produce prices especially remu nerative, this latter feature being reflected In somewhat Improved collections. Most reports Indicate that trade is better than It was at this time last year. More over, money appears to be a little easier. Business failures for the week were 287, which compares with 259 last year. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ag gregate 3.9SO,265 bushels, against 6,850,902 last year. CURRENT TRADE ON LARGE SCALE Feeling of Cant Ion Less Manifest Than Heretofore. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. Dun's Review will say tomorrow: Sustained progress along conservative lines Is the keynote of advices from the leading mercantile centers. Improvement is not wholly uniform, and soma sections and branches of trade reflect better conditions than others. In the aggregate, however, the volume of current transactions continues large, and. though hesitancy is still shown In entering upon future commitments, the feeling of caution is less manifest than heretofore Unseasonably low temperatures in some parts of tho country have led to further claims of crop damage; but distributions of merchandise at retail has benefited and the wholesale movement Is gradually expanding. Well-maintained activity is apparent in all departments of tho dry goods markets. Failures this week numbered 264 In the United States, against 261 last year, and 6S In Canada, compared with 24 a year ago. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.

Sent. S. Although there was some Improvement in tho action of the stock market today as compared with the sessions immediately preceding, tne move ment was still Inconclusive. Karlv transactions showed a confused mix- ture of small gains and louses. The only conspicuous movement was in Union Pacific which rose steadily to the highest figure of the week. The rumor of a cash distri hiiftAn An this stock was revived, and made to do duty once again. The advance In this stork exercised little Influence on the gen era! market. Gradually, however, a firm inn devrioned. with a showing of strength in Krie, Reading and Can. Gains In general were Insignificant, and the strong features were levelled by a selling movement in the last hour. Forecasts of tomorrow's bank statement Indicated a gain in cash holdings of about (8. 000.000. Canada's need for gold at this season of the year was reflected in the withdrawal today of Jl, 000, 000 for shipment to the dominion. Bonds developed a good tone, with pro nounced strength in the Rock Island issues. Total sales, par value, XI. 790.000. United Statea bonds were unchanged on calL CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
