Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONTAN. FRTDAT. NOVEMBER 21. 1913, 21 DEMAND IS BROADER Inquiry From England for Hops Is Reported. UNDERTONE IS STRONG further Business Pat I'll rough at 24 Cents Lower Grades Are Also Advancing in Price Activity in Washington. Interest In the hop market wi further stimulated yesterday by the report of fresh Inquiry from abroad. Coming on top of the keen demand from domestic sources, any Im portant buying for European account can only have the effect of strengthening- the market to a great degree. The report from the valley that Durbin A Connoyer had bid 24 cents at Newberg was significant, owing to this firm's connection with the great London house of Wlgan Rich ardson A Co. In addition to the Otto Hanson lot of 153 tales, at Oak Grove, which Joseph Harris t ought Wednesday at 24 cents, Mr. Harris yesterday secured another lot of 85 bales sit the same price. Twenty-five cents was also paid by the Kola Nets Bop Company to James Linn for B bales. Offers of 24 cents were made by other dealers, but no farther acceptances at this price were reported. Ralph Williams purchased abont 100 bales at Dallas at 23 cents. A carload was se cured by H. L. Hart at Silverton at 22 ft cents. The Ehlndler lot of 25S bales, at Sa lem, was sold to William Brown & Co., at 23 cents, and the Shaner lot of 81 bales at 22 cents. Grlbble bought the Dunlavln crop of ITS bales at Brooks at 22 cents. The Washington market continued active. A 600-bale lot, of ordinary grade Yaklmas, was sold at 22 cents, but the other details were not learned. James Ftncus bought the Kohler, Pearson and another lot at Che halls, aggregating 850 bales, at 23 cents. Choice hops are held higher In Washington, as in Oregon. The following cable was received from London: "Market firmer for prime to choice, weaker for lower grades. Continental mar kets strong.' 1 WOOL DEALINGS AT BOSTON LARGER Wither Prloes Have Been Secured on Some Choice Lots. Wool trading on the Boston market has enlarged,, particularly In territory grades. Among the sales reported In the past week were 00,000 pounds of Soda Springs fine medium at li cents, Wyoming at IS cents, Utah at 15 to 10 & cents and Montana at H to 1 cents. A mall report says of the week's trade: "Contrary to the' predictions, the market for wool shows a gain In activity. Conserve, tive Interests figure that upward of 4,000, 000 pounds of wool have been distributed, while some dealers estimate the total busi ness at fully 0,000,000 pounds the past week. The supply of domestic wool unsold has been reduced to such unusually low figures that difficulty is foreseen for those manufacturers who have not provided for their require ments for the heavyweight goods season. "Higher prices than those secured at any previous time this season have been ob tained on some choice lots of wool during the period mentioned. In fact the scarcity has become so apparent that the market bhows a gradual tendency to strengthen. Lstlmales of a decline of 40,000,000 pounds In the domestic clip this year are now con sidered very conservative, though not a great while ago they would have been thought radically large. Some dealers figure that the aggregate lor -the season will fall 00,000,000 pounds short of that last year. WHEAT MARKET ON SOUND BASIS Higher Prices Quoted la Some Quarters. Mill Feed Lower. A firm undertone prevailed In the wheat market yesterday. Local dealers quoted bv cents as the full price on club, but higher bids were made In some quarters. The blue stem quotation was maintained at 80 cents, though It Is known that but little Is avail able at this price. ' Trading in oats and barley was quiet. The break In the San Francisco mill feed market, and liberal offerings by some of the mills in the North, have created an easier feeling here, commenting on the situation, J. 11. Klosterman said: "California markets have gone all to pieces owing to large shipments from Portland and the Sound, something over 30U0 tons having been shipped last month, with prospects of still larger shipments during the present month. Rains In California have weakened the market in all feeds generally. We quote bran to the trade at $11). Ml; shorts at ti'1.50. tight draft, November, December and Jan uary shipment." Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: 1W 14 17 18 41 82 14 4 6 b 57 18 14 a la 33 8 U U 01 22 7 8 e 8304 lT.l.j 1057 030 1270 ts543 1161 055 SOI 0U Tuesday Wednesday . .

A shipment of Tokay grapes was received from the Carson vineyard at Grants Pass and put on sale at (1.73 2. The demand for oranges Is rapidly as suming normal proportions, as the quality of the fruit is improving. The market is steady. There is a good shipping, move uient in apples, but city trade is poor. A shipment of strawberries was received from Los Angeles and sold slowly at 15 cents a basket. The demand for vegetables of all kinds was good and prices were steady. Local rhubarb offered at SVi cents a pound. A car of celery Is due today. The second car of dates was received yes terday afternoon. Poultry Supplies Are Increasing. Receipts of poultry of all kinds were heavy yesterday. Buyers were well filled upon chickens and . would not offer over 14 cents for hens or Springs. Live turkeys were quoted at 20021 cents. A good sup ply of dressed turkeys came in. but almost the only outlet was on the Sound. Dressed meat arrivals were also large. but they cleaned - up without trouble at steady prices. Conditions were unchanged In the egg, butter and cheese markets. Culmn Sugar Output Larger. According to the estimates of H. A. Hiine ly. one of the best authorities on the Cuban sugar production, the final figures for th 1013-13 sugar output of Cuba were: Of cen trifugal. 10,775,102 bags and of molasses sugar 220,581 bags, making a total of 17, 004.683 bags, or the equivalent of 2,429,240 tons of 2240 pounds.

Fair business In Winter wheat for export helped December up c net today, but May closed unchanged and July o off. On lightness of country offerings, corn closed steady, a shade higher to a ahade lower. Oats, because trade was light, finished unchanged to a shade lower. Free selling eased lard and ribs 2o to 7c. but May pork, on rather liberal buying, gained 2c. .Besides the buying of export wheat there was a good milling demand for hard Winter grades. A light Russian movement and a forecast for smaller Argentine shipments kept prloes from sagging materially, but 'the market was not as responsive as bull lead ers had hoped for. General commission-house demand united with lightness of offerings to hold corn steady. Business In the oats pit was small. May pork attracted buyers and advanced on tho better prices at the yards.

The building; of a new trade or technical school for Portland was the chief topic of discussion at the Pro gressive Business Men's Club weekly luncheon at tho Hotel Multnomah yes terday. The speakers were O. M. Plum mer and Dr. E. A. Sommer, of the Portland School Board. Dr. Sommer has Just returned from a trip East, in which he paid especial attention to the matter of trade schools In the cities he visited Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chicago and Gary, Ind. He also spoke of the trade schools In Munich, Bavaria, which he said was the father of the technical school a city of 600.000 inhabitants with trade schools that accommodate 1700 pupils. Dr. Sommer said that an important point to be considered in the choosing; of a site lor a new technical school was ample space for playgrounds. He also advocated the expenditure of a sum of (25,000, or whatever sum should be found necessary, for tho physical education of school children, the ma jority of whose ailments, he said, were due to Improper feeding and training;. He considered it a duty of the school board to. have experts examine the teeth of pupils and see that they g;ot their dentistry work done at cost. BLUFF ROAD WORK SOUGHT Sandy Commercial Club Pledges $1000 and Asks for Assistance. A vigorous effort Is being; made by the Sandy Commercial Club to get the Bluff road Improved with a macadam roadway, from Sandy to Pleasant Home, there to connect with the Multnomah County road system. The club has pledged (1000 and E. H Wemme, of Portland, has pledged a like amount toward paying for the improvement. A special road tax probably will be levied in the district through which the road runs, at a special meeting which will be held tomorrow night in Sandy. It is hoped to raise $4000 or J5000 more by the tax. Mr. Wemme estimated that it will cost nearly (9000 to lay a first-class macadam road. He offers other assistance- besides his cash pledge. The road follows the margin of the bluff over looking the Sandy Valley and river. The Portland Automobile Club is asked to assist and Clackamas County Court will be asked to make an appropriation.
