Newspaper Page Text17 SOUTH BUYS FREELY California and Texas Are Tak ing Potatoes. NO EASTERN TRADE DOING Market Is Holding Firm at t Cent Busia and Farmers Are Ready Sellers Crop Not Much Hurt by Recent Frosts. ' A number of Eastern potato buyers are making inquiries as to conditions and prices here and several have visited this section, as they frequently do in the Fall, but no busi ness of consequence has developed. A single car has been purchased to go East, and this la the extent of the trade so far as can be learned. Later in the season It is possible that sellers may get In touch with Eastern buyers, but the prices now offered for Ore gon potatoes for shipment across the Rockies are entirely out of line with market values prevailing hero. The Oregon market, however, is by no means inactive. There is a brisk demand from California and Texas, and both states are taking good shipments. California potato growers, influenced by George Shlma's ac tion, are withholding their crops from mar ket, and this has provided an outlet both in California and the Southwest for the Oregon product. - The leading buyers are still offering 90 cents to $1 for potatoes and selling by farm ers is fairly free at these prices. No actual bids over the dollar mark have been re ported. The undertone of the market is firm and a healthy trade Is looked for through the Winter months. No great amount of damage was caused by the recent frosts. Only the very late fields were Injured, as the larger part of the crop had been already saved. Most of the pota toes la the ground will now get a chance to ripen, so the frosts may prove more bene ficial than otherwise. BOilDE" MAY BE THE PURCHASER Tradjo Interested In Sale of Agen Condensed Milk , Bnslness, There Is much Interest in the grocery trade concerning the recent sale of the Agen condensed milk plants at Mount Ver non and Ferndale. Wash. It Is believed by many that the real purchaser was the Sorden Company. Soma time ago a special representative of this company, which has a. large plant at Auburn, made a complete survey of the production of the territory drawn on by the Agen condenserles. The canned milk business has been enormously stimulated by the European war. Not only have immense shipments been made from the United States to Europe in the past two years by way of Atlantic ports, but Russia has been a very heavy buyer on the North Pacific Coast for shlp . meet through Vladivostok. Buying for account of the Russian government is still going on. In 1903 John B. Agen and Charles Schalk enbach bought the factory at Mount Ver non. It was packing &0 cases a day and was about to close its doors through Inability to dispose of even so small a quantity of Its product. Soon after Mr. Agen took control he found a market for the 50 cases. Within a few months he had doubled the capacity of the plant, opening a new mar ket for a large number of dairymen In ths Btate. Mr. Schalkenbach sold his Interests to Mr. Agen, who became the sole owner of the property. Mr. Agen attributes his success in build ing up the condensed milk Industry largely to his system of financing the small pro ducer, who had capacity for work, but was hort of funds. The system he calls the "rural credit bank.' Thousands of cows were bought In Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties with money advanced by Sir. Agen. These loans wer repaid slowly In small monthly sums, the payments ex tending over a period of three and four years. This plan of increasing the avail ability of the cows brought prosperity to the farmers and factories and during last Summer nearly 3000 cases of condensed milk were packed each day. COI NTRY WHEAT TRADE SLOWS DOWN Usual Advance Is Lacking and Fanners Hold Back. Wheat selling by farmers was on a reduced scale yesterday. For several days the mar ket had been advancing a cent a day. Yes terday sellers asked higher prices, as usual, but buyers did not respond. Although Chicago broke badly, bid prices In the coun t ry were -about the same - as on Thursday. They were not acceptable to the majority of farmers, however, and trading slowed down. At the Merchants Exchange, bluestem and fortyfold bids were reduced 1 to 1V4 cents and other bigs were practically un changed. . Bradstreets estimates wheat exports this "week at 7.&S3.O00 bushels and corn exports at 1.116,000 bushels. Argentine wheat shipments this week are 2,128.000 bushels, against 830.000 bushels last week and 304,000 bushels last year. Terminal receipts.

SMALL TRADE ry THE HOP MARKET Klglifth Dealer Looks for no Trade In Pacific. There nas little business In Oregon hops yesterday at 10 to 11 Vs cents. The Western Washington buyers were after options at 12 cents, probably for Eastern account. The only California business reported was the sale of 100 bales of Sacramento at 10 csnt, A London letter dated September 21 said there was no prospects of Americas -business cn account of the embargo but under nor mal conditions a big trade would be done In Pacifies, as the English crop will not be ever 800,000 cwt.

Shipments will be about twice those of former years. No estimate of the quantity grown about Rid dle can yet be made, es many -driers are still drying, but it is safe to say that the output will far exceed that of any furmer year.

SELLING IS PRECIPITATE Losses of Two to Five Points From To Levels of ForenoonTrading Prior to Final Period Subject to Various Cross Currents. NEW TORK, Oct. 6. Rumors of a re newal of peace negotiations, which seemed to receive credence In high financial quar ters, were effective In depressing prices in the stock "market's later dealings today. Stocks declined 2, 3 and even 5 points from top levels of the forenoon, the selling being the most precipitate of any recent session. with some normal rallies at the close, to tal transactions amounted to 1.370.0O0 shares. of which SO per cent occurred tn the first hour. t Prior to the final period, the list bad shown numerous cross-currents, former lead ers losing some ground, with greater activity in minor rails ana a lew industrials or recent prominence. In fact, the moet Interesting development, apart from the sharp reverses at the end of the session, was the extraordinary diversity of dealings. More than 250 different stocks were traded in during the first half hour, this number being considerably augmented later and establishing a record for many years. Extreme gains In secondary rail and soma of the specialties ranged from 2 to 4 points, with Denver & Rio Grande preferred, West ern Maryland preferred, Chicago Ac Alton. Chicago Great Western, Wabash and Kansas Southern preferred the most conspicuous features. New maximums were supplied by Central Leather at 83 -14 and American Beet at par. but other stocks of that class and some of the utilities attained highest quotations of the past year only to be sacrificed In the sweep of the last 60 minutes. Those who regard the foreign exchange market as an infallible barometer of peace overtures extracted little comfort from that quarter. German remittances, which should strengthen at the first signs of peace were slightly heavier and francs also shaaed with no change In rates to London. Bonds were strong most of the day. but eased with stocks toward the end. Total sales, par value. $6,625,000. United States bonds w-ere unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Between $75,000,000 and $100,000,000 in banking funds, bankers hero estimate, has been transferred from New York to London this week, and the movement Is still under wsy. Call money was lent In New York yester day at as low as 2 per cent. Bankers con tend that at this figure It is almost Impos sible to make customary profits on call loans. For this reason they have been putting out money on call in London for some time. The high mark In time money In this mar ket yesterday was only 8 per cent and the low was 3 per cent. Local bankers say that they can get as high as 5 per cent on time loans in Great Britain. Stocks Active at London. LONDON, Oct. 6. American securities were active with coppers the firmest. TRADE OF RECORD PROPORTIONS Soaring Price Do Not Check Growth of Business. NEW TORK, Oct. 6. Bradatreet'a tomor row will say: Quick time continues the marching order in practically every line 01 endeavor, to Uia tMiksv luawevsx. -of rrsrlna- nrlcs, penal- ties by way ef superabundant prosperity In the face of short crops or straitened sup plies of raw materials. The cry is that there are not enough cars to haul commodl tiess that there is not enough labor to hasten production: and there are not enough goods to supply insistent demands. Wants, apparently, are Insatiable, current demand being for present needs for Winter, for the holidays and next Spring. Consequently, cur rent reports merely accentuate those regard ing past activity, and It is evident that Jobbing trade, mall order business and dis tribution by retail dealers Is of record pro portions.
