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.

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.

heavy yesterday. Buyers were well filled

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.

but they cleaned - up without trouble at
steady prices.

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

Factor in Market.

lower level on the Stock Exchange today.
Many of the leaders showed declines of a
point or so. Rumely preferred lost five
points. Heaviness of the metal stocks was

02VLX DECEMBER WHEAT OPTION
HIGHER AT CLOSE.
Good BlllUn; Demand for Hard Winter
Grades Russian Movement
la Now Higher.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. 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. Other
commodities sank under realizing sales

TRADE SCHOOL DISCUSSED
O. M. Plummer and Dr. E. A, Som-
mer Talk Before Business Club.
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.
