THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1914. 15 HIDE MARKET FIRM Foot and" Mouth Disease Is Cause of Strength. EASTERN TRADE EXCITED Strong Prices Are Expected to Pre vail Throughout Winter Euro pean Demand for Leather la Also Important Factor. The foot and mouth disease 1 responsible for much excitement in the Eastern hide markets, which is reflected here in firmer prices, although quotations are not ma terially chanted. The cattle epidemic has resulted in a smaller kill and thereby raised prices on packer hides. The supply of country hides has not been affected, but the market, nevertheless, is stronger In sympa thy. . The great demand from Europe for leather Is also playing an important part in the strength of the hide market. Eastern tan ners have received large foreign orders for harness leather on account of the war and this has put the leather market on a solid oasis. The only unsatisfactory thing about the market is the cessation in the demand from the South for leathers, but this is ex pected to improve by the end of the year. On the whole the hide market is in good condition and the outlook is bright for sat isfactory prices throughout the Winter. Lo cal dealers see no reason why there should be any decline in this market. Concerning conditions in the East, a mail report from Chicago says: "The entire hide market has suddenly de veloped an exceptionally buoyant and ad vancing tendency and tanners have paid ad vanced prices for practically all descrlp LIUIIO, Ullli UU1UCIO UVOT UO.l.ClUU.U .u. .Ufa. increases. "Trading in packer hides continues brisk and, while the increases demanded over latest advanced rates secured on branded hides have tended to restrict new business to some extent, buyers are reported to have entered the market for native steers in large way, taking clearance Quantities kOf Kovember-Oecomber salting ahead at 21 ',4c. Branded cows have moved freely during the past week or ten days. October salting bringing lS&c and September kill 18ic while some butt brands changed hands 19!ic. In these instances an increase of Uc was registered over former trading rates and the packers, being now well cleaned up on most 'varieties of branded hides, are ask ing an additional advance of Uo to c, talking up to 20c for heavy Texas, 18 c to 19c for light Texas and Colorados, 19 $c for butt brands and 38 ',4c for extreme light Texas steers. "Country hides show an even more rap Idly advancing tendency than packer take off, probably because there was a wider spread between last selling rates and values now asked than in other descriptions of raw material." IrOWER PRICKS BID FOR WHEAT Market Affected by Decline at Chicago. Coarse Grain Down.

MEMBERSHIPS IN DEMAND Foreign Exchange Gold Pool Stay Be Dissolved With Resumption of Cotton Export Movement. Money Market Is Easier. NEW YORK. Nov. 13. Decided progress toward the resumption of regular business was noted in the general financial situation today. Announcement that the cotton ex chanae.is to reopen for free and unrestrict ed trading next Monday was followed by Intimations from high banking quarters ot the probable reopening of the stock ex change at the beginning of the new year. Incidentally. memberships on both ex- chanees were sold today at print, ma terially higher than those quoted a few weeks ago. - - There were other distinct indications ot improvement, including further heavy re tirements of emergency currency, additions! advances in most of the stocks and bonds Quoted bv the several markets now in opera tion, and an advance in tne price ot cuppor metals. - . It was believed that resumption of busi ness by the "cotton exchanges would exercise an immediate and favorable influence on the- foreign exchange situation, lnasmucn as it is bound to make for extensive exports of cotton to Liverpool, thereby speedily re ducing American debits in London. It Is within the range of probabilities that the $100,000,000 gold cool devised by the coun try's leading financial interests to amelior ate foreign exchange will be dissolvsd soon after the expeeted cotton export movement gets under way. ... Sterling exchange recovered from Its de cline of yesterday, ruling about a cent higher to the pound. Exchange on Paris and Ger man centers was unchanged, with nominal dealings. Monev on call and for the long maturities was appreciably easier. regardless of a probable cash loss by the clearing-house banks for the week. More favorable busi ness conditions were disclosed in the week s bank clearings, which showed gains over the corresponding periods of the last two years. General business continued to manifest a waitlnir attitude, but returns from textile interests were more cheerful. Some large plants in steel and is understood to be the last ballot nnder the international agreement of last September, as with the market open the old interests will be worked out around the ring. There waa a large attendance of brokers on. the floor here to receive the announce ments and considerable business was reported in December contracts, which sold down to 7.4$ on the curb, suggesting that the bulk of the corporation's contracts will probably be traneferred to the sj-ndicate when the market reopens next week. May-June In Liverpool fluctuated between 4.27 and 4,25d, closing at 4.2fiHd, or one point net higher. Port receipts today, 54, 025 bales; United States port stocks, $70,451 bales; interior receipts, 48.218 bales; exports today, $800 bales; so far this season, 833,614 bales. New Orleans spot, 7 cents; sales, 3160 bales. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 13. The New Or leans Cotton Exchange will open for unre stricted trading November 16. This de cision was reached by the board ot - di rectors of the exchange at a meeting today, after it was announced the New York Ex change would open on that data. ST PAUL, Nov. IS. The banks of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, subject to the approval of the board of directors, will raise $1,000,000 as part of the $185,000,0 00 cotton pool.

All grades of refined sugar were advanced 10 cents a hundred In the local market yes terday. The strength of the Eastern mar ket was caused by buying for French gov ernment account and It is likely France will continue to be a purchaser In the American market throughout the Winter. It the war is still on England will begin buying agat In the Spring, consequently a generally firm sugar market may be looked for as long as the European conflict lasts. There has also been heavy French buying of beans In the American markets, which has caused film prices everywhere. A 10-cent decline in Astor milk was an nounced yesterday.
