' ' -r . v ; g i - ': 1 - 4 EAST AGAIN AFTER WHEAT DN COAST Millers and Exporters Are Trying to Buy Here. CASH GRAIN NOT AVAILABLE British Royal Commission, Italy and Spain Are Also Attempting to Purchase Secretly. Whfit did not repeat Its sharp gains of the two preceding days on the eastern exchanges, yet the market was strong at all point. It Is apparent that the farmer again has the whip hand and that things are coming his way. All reports show that practically no wheat Is being delivered by farmers to elevators throughout the east. Here In the Pacific northwest the majority of growers are sitting tight. They have seen prices advance 20 cents In the past week and for this reason current offers do not appeal to them. There were rumors in the trade yester day that eastern millers and exporters were trying to buy wheat on the Pacific coast, as very little cash wheat is avail able In the east. There were also indica tions that the British Royal commission, as well as Spain and Italy, were again trying to buy wheat secretly. At the Merchants' Exchange session white wheat bids were advance 3 cents with $1.00 offered for hard white and 1.57 bid for club. Ked wheat bids were raised 2 cents. There was no demand for oats or barley. Corn bids were lowered 75c tl. Chicago advices said a good business in Culf wheat was worked in the forenoon. Three cargoes were reported put through. Winnipeg reported 1050 cars of wheat re ceived. According to the German food commis sioner, the German wheat deficit is 72.000.000 bushels. The Argentine prohibition of wheat ex ports will be raised on January 1. Cut ting of wheat has already begun in the north. Buenos Ayres reported scattered rains.

New business has made its appearance In the hop market for the first time this season, so far as is known. The buying heretofore has been for account of pre vious sales. Buying has been more active In the past two days than for some time past. Be tween 4410 and 50i . bales have changed hands at prices ranging from 25 to 2S cents, according to quality. Tbe larger part of the purchasing was done by A. J. Ray & Sons. 'Another interesting feature of the market has been tho demand that has developed for the lower grades. In the earlier part of the season buyers showed no interest whatever In anything except the best hops. Growers, as a rule, are disposed to sell now. The eastern markets, according to re ports, are dull and unsatisfactory, because of the prohibition ruling against sales to home brewery. There is no Indication of any foreign demand soon. Shipments to England of contracted hops are going forward at a good rate. THE DECLINE IN EGGS CONTINUES Buying Prices Are Again Reduced, Butter Is Weaker. Egg prices continue to fall. Receipts are increasing, though they are by no means heavy as yet, and the local demand is backward. An outlet for a limited' quan tity of fresh stock in Montana and that section is reported. Buyers yesterday generally offered 57038 cents to country shippers. Selling prices held at 65 cents for candled ranch and 70 cents for selects. The butter market was weak with mod erate offerings of cubes and few buyers. No announcement was made of any change in print prices today. Poultry dealers are looking for lower prices. The demand is poor for the small upply coming on the market. Dressed meats hold' steady. Oregon Apples at Chicago.

This carried May contracts up to 7.83c or about 30 points above the low point of Tuesday and there were reactions of 7 to 8 points under realizing, followed by another bulge promoted by closing ralilea in stocks and cotton and rumors of better prospects for a Brazilian loan.

Save tor a pro nounced contraction of business, both as to volume and variety of Issues traded In, dealings on the stock market today dif fered in no important essentials from those of recent irregular sessions. Interest continued to center in Southern Pacific, the erratic course of that issue u guesting an Increasing divergence of opinion, in speculative circles at least, regarding the potential benefits to be de rived from the company's plan of seg gregatlon. Oeneral advices and developments were conflicting in their relations to market values.

HOLIDAY RETAIL TRADE LARGER Moderate Improvement Also Reported at Some Primary Markets. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Dun's tomorrow will say: Signs of the improvement in business and sentiment, if slow to appear, are rather more distinct in certain quar ters. The retail ' movement, although lacking the desired breadth, is accelerated as the holidays draw near and some pri mary markets are recovering & little from their lethargy. The whole situation is uneven and un certain, as is natural In a time of re adjustment and the general policy is one of deferring important action until con ditions become more stable. After the turn of the year, when results of Inventory and Christmas trade shall have been made known, the future business outlook may seem less obscure. Weekly bank clearings were $S,19S, 664,209.

Reluctance of ex port Interests to follow any advance In prices tended today to dieck bullish ardor concerning wheat. Tne market closed un settled. "4c net lower to H4c higher, with December $1.70 to $1.704 and March $1.6494 to $1.65. Corn finished He off to c up and oats gained to c. IQ provisions there was a setback of 50 to 57 cents. Bears in the wheat market put special stress on early indications that yesterday's sharp upturn In values had brought Eu ropean demand to a standstill. It was pointed out that as a rule foreign gov ernments have refrained from buying wheat on a big scale except when prices were depressed. Heavy selling, which set in from . the cast, however, met with stubborn resistance from commission men and elevator interests and it was con tended that lower prices did not harmon ize with the amount of business already done or with prospective enlarged require ments of domestic mills. Gossip that a moderate amount of wheat had been pur chased today for shipment to Europe by way of the Gulf of Mexico helped to restore comparative strength to the market. Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat. Provisions sympathised with downturns in the value of hogs. . The Ohicaro market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke Co, of Port land said: Wheat For the- most part it was an irregular market with ,the various news items of a conflicting sort. It wae re ported early that the export demand had subsided and in consequence prices dropped about 4 cents, but on the decline there was aggressive buying which had the appearance of being against exports sales. which took the surplus oiienngs out oi the pit and caused a quick upturn toward the close. Receipts were small and cash held comparatively steady at yesterday's basis. Late inthe day foreign 6ales were placed at about l.OOO.OOO bushels. A re port that Canadian wheat aggregating 1. 000,000 bushels was on the way to Chi cago had no influence on prices. The feeling of Indecision which prevails at present is due to the uncertainty as to whether foreigners will continue to take our wheat in volume tne -way l " " - been with the other avauaDie trem at hand. It is patent, therefore, mat de velopments in export circlea will dominate gyrations. ' Corn was subject to pressure off and on all morning ot Which considerable ap peared to be against caan Brain m country. Towards tne conclusion strength in wheat stimulated short cov ering and the entire eany toss was re gained . " . Oats Lower with other grain, but pres sure was not pronounced and the market closed with a firm tone. Cash oats ruled rather easy, notwithstanding the light re reipts. . Provisions were weak and lower on sell ing induced by the 25-cent decline in hog prices and the market was poorly sup ported. . - , Leading futures ranged as follows: "WHEAT. Open. High.

Dec. 3. (Special.) J. H. Markley, patient at St. Mary's hospital, became violently insane Thursday morning, attacked Jacob Behrlng', night steward, and totally demolished the furniture in his room. Markley struck Behringr a hard blow, which may result in the loss of sight in one eye, and in the opinion of the sisters in charge would have killed him but for the Interven tion of J. Howard, a qripple. with whom Markley was friendly and who quieted him. R.rkley apologized for his actions, but before Sheriff Yates arrived he had become angered at another em ploye and proceeded to wreck his room. He quieted down when Yates reached the hospital and was taken to the county jail. Waste Paper to Swell Fund. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Dec. S. (Spe cial.)

The assessed valuation ot other property, la Lane county is grater this year than last, but the de crease in public service valuations brings the total less than last year s total. WHEAT EXPENSE IS $1.85 Bureau Declares Farmers Cannot Produce Grain for Less. MORO, Or., Dec. 3. (Special.) Careful investigation made by the Sherman county farm bureau, based on figures kept by co-operating farm ers, reveals the fact that the average cost of producing a bushel of wheat last year was $1.85. Half of the farms produced their crop at a figure above this, some running as high aa $2.40. What will happen to wheat farmers forced to sell on the present market Is only too well known by those fa miliar with conditions. -"The county farm burea"u. which has 70 per cent of the farmers h- its menfbership, and which has been very active along these lines, is in a posi tion to speak for the section. . At the last session of the executive commit tee a draft of the available figures was made and sent to the representa tives and senators from Oregon as well as the American Farm Bureau federation.
