Newspaper Page Texts- - -r- - 2S T,HE SUUDA5 OBEGQNIAN, PORTLAND, t OCTOBER 7, 1900. COMMERCIAL MD The. first -week of October shows up quite' favorably from, a trade standpoint. There Is a Httle more business all a'ong tjie line, and It" finds reflection in bank clearings, which show a satisfactory in crease over those of a .year ago. "Wheat shipments .(flour included) were heavier than for the corresponding week last year, and there is still a fairly heavy " movement of the cereal to tidewater. An unpleasant showing for the state was made by the receipt of four carloads of eggs from the East, with more to follow. Eastern butter has not yetput in an, ap pearance, but it always shows up before the season ends, and this year wlll.hardly prove an exception. The market for hops w lias a good, healthy tone, but sales In the aggregate lor the week were of small pro portions, growers preferring to hold. Po tatoes are. coming in quite freely, and the price is fair In, comparison with former years. The poultry market, which went to -pieces two weeks ago, has not yet re covered its equilibrium, and sales were made yesterday at very low prices in or dex to clean up. A carload each of water melons, bananas and cranberries were re ceived during the week, and as all three tCan hardly be seasonable, the watermel ons got the worst of it. The grocery mar ket has ruled steady during the week, the only -exciting feature being the sharp de cline in sugar. WHEAT A deadlock between shipown ers and exporters during the past week checked the volume of wheat business to . certain extent, but there was still enough moving to tax the resources of the transportation companies to handle It. 'The growers are letting go much more freely than they were at the same time I last year, although prices are slightly easier. Exporters generally were quoting &t cents for "Walla "Walla yesterday, al i iHbugh-this figure ws bettered a fraction In some casas. There is still conslderabje talk of wheat going East, but no late 'sales for this purpose are reported. East ern papers seem to think that there will 'be quite a market for Pacific Coast grain ioc mixing with the damaged grain, of tho Northwest, and a New York circular of the 1st Inst has the following touching on the subject: . The :gravity of the crop failure in the Northwest is not yet appreciated by the world at large. Not only is there a re duced production, but harvest rains have deteriorated the quality of the grain to i such a degree that much of it will be unfit 'for the manufacture of flour. It Is of such ai inferior grade that It will not even drag down the maricet, as it will not come in competition with millable grain. As It ,1s, the deficiency in production will enable "wheat-growers in everypart of the United "States to obtain a higher price for their surplus than would have been possible with the usual Northwestern yield. "HOPS. The hop market is firm at quo tations, and there is an active Inquiry. The present movement would Indicate that most of the Oregon crop will be shipped direct to Europe, when the grow ers are ready to sell, as New York buyers have not yet approached the bids of men who are acting for European buyers. The New York Journal of Commerce, under date of October 2, has the following: - Advices from the country indicate a firm .feeling on the part of growers, but from the dealers standpoint the situation is an unsatisfactory one. The brewers are not anxious to take hold, and it is claimed the highest they can be induced to pay for choicer 1900 hops is 1717&c, and if they pay the latter figure they seem to think they are paying an extremely high price. Iealers, on the other hand, assert that figuring on tho expense of buying, selling and freight, there is not a profit for them in the "business, even at such figures. Ac cordlng to cables from London, the Eng lish growers are very firm In their posi tion on the question -of prices. One re port from London, however, states that good useful- hops are selling there at C5g 75s, while prime to choice are. tjuoted at 5s to UOs. l is also claimed in this re port that choice 1900 Oregon hops can bo bought at 82S5s. delivered in, London. Continuing, our informant says:. "Recent weather conditions have been more fa Vorable and the crop is coming down heavier than was expected a short time since. It is now Indicated that the yield will be 400,000 cwts., against 63,000 cwts. last year. "While on the surface, this would indicate a large shortage in the supply of English hops, it must be remem bered that the crop of 1599 was a phenom enally heavy one, and that the 400.OC0 cwts. to he harvested this year are In reality equal to the average for the three year period to 1899."

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Attention centered on the bank statement on the Stock Ex change today. But the very heavy decline In tho cash reserves of the banks seemed to have little effect on speculative senti ment beyond a llutter amongst the small er class of traders, who offered prices down after the statement appeared. Tne larger speculators, who have been bulling the market during the week, seemed con tent to stand by and watch the effect of the statement on general speculative sen timent The steadiness of the market un der the showing by the banks seems sur prising, when it is duly considered that great stress has been laid by the specu lators for the rise on the offsets to tho interior drain of currency which were ex pected to mitigate the cash loss. Even yesterday, when the movement to the in terior was known to be large, the maxi mum estimate of the decline In. caah did not reach $6,000,000. The large payment of Pacific gold drafts last week was expected to moderate that showingunder the system of computations by daily averages, but Instead of that the lo3s of the cash for the week was run up to $8,574,700, and the remaining surplus of the banks Is cut in- half. Tbe Interior demand for cash has been larger than any previous week of the season and far in excess of any single week In the Fall season of last year. The extraordinary cotton movement: Is undoubtedly responsU ble for the showing. The equanimity of speculators in the face of the bank state ment must be due to the conviction that the heavy movement of cotton to the sea board insures, a continuance of the ex port movement. This week's further advance In the prices of stocks cannot be attributed to a demand from the short Interest the same as last week. There has been some cov ering of short contracts on the rise, and the professional operators whp h,ave the advance In hand evidently hope to dis lodge the long-standing short Interest which has persisted In the stock market on the theory that the business reaction will be continued and warrant further shrinkage of prices. The bull party Is evidently playing also to attract an out side buying movement of the class which nothing but a rapid advance in prices brings Into the stock market The effort has not proved entirely unsuccessful, but the .new buying- was hardly sulllcient to absorb the profit-taking by professionals, who sought to reduce their commitments at a moderate "advance. The favorable In crease Incidents of the week have been, made the most of by the bulls, but tho loudest protestations are of a confidence In the ultimate outcome of conditions over which the public at large Is still evident ly In doubt, especially a revival of busi ness to last year's high level of prosper ity. The manipulative character of the mar ket was evident from the number of as sertions put in circulation on. the Stoek Exchange which failed of verification. A positive announcement that the coal strike had been called off served its purpose in rushing prices up late one day, and there were various rumors of absorptions and consolidations of railroad systems, while brokers vigorously bid up the stocks 'con cerned with a palpable disinclination to avail themselves of lower prices to ab sorb the stocks. But It was notable that the advances thus secured did not bring out any heavy offerings from other than speculative holders, and price reactions were not severe, even when the unvera clous character of the reports was recog nized. This undertone of firmness gave confidence to the bull following. The hope of the views expressed by au thorities In the Iron and steel trade had a marked Influence on the much depressed stocks In that group, and affected the general list favorably in sympathy. Tha declaration of the' regular quarterly divi dend of 2 per cent in Tennessee Coal end ed a very bold bear campaign against the stock, based on positive assertions widely published that the dividend would be reduced or passed. The subsequent rebound In the stock had a revivifying In fluence on all the stocks in the steel group. The placing of some large orders for freight cars was another element in tho strength of the group. From the technical side, the completion of some re cent orders for liquidation of various stocks was a relief to the market, and fa cilitated the advance. But tne point prob ably most relied upon by the bulla was the promise of early Imports of gold and the apparent acquiescence of European money markets by refraining from advan cing their discount rates. There ha's been only a slight Increase in bond business, and prices have moved Irregularly. United States new 4s declined Yt. per cent since last Saturday. " "' Dank: Clearings.

NEW YORK, Oct C The Financier says: The banks of New York, according to their current-statement, Ipst during the week more, than 5 per cent of the surplus reserve reported at the "close of business on. September 28: This leaves them with only $6,241,900 above the required minimum 25 .per, cent of deposit. The Interesting feature is the heavy loss t In cash .which aggregates $3,574.7)50, the 'heaviest' drain which has been encountered since the last crop season. The significance of the de crease, however, is lessened by the fact that one large bank, which has heen carrying nearly half the exceVg reserve. 1 Hopkins & Co.

Thfe Is of no special moment except to 3b,ow that the majority of the banks in tho clearing-house have undergone no serious drain on their resources, although quite a, number o. them are nflw close to the legal reserve point and some of then below It The present statement would nut have looked so serious had it not been for the almost stationary loan column. While there Is nothing to warrant the asser tion, it appears as though there nacr been a period of active borrowing during the week not previously known. At any rate, the gen-ril endncy jf tl.e banks just now is jootnet loans and the small decrease for the wr coTpares oddly with the two week - reserves. Tno dwindling reserve does ont mean a strin gency lp the market. It emphasizes tne fact that money is going to remain firm over election.

FLOUR MILLS CLOSE. Half of the 13 Iff Plants at Mlnneop- oIIm Discontinue Operations. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct G. Nearly half the flour mills operating In Minneap olis will close tonight for an lndeflnito length of time. The Washburn-Crosby and the Pillsbury Milling Companies say that 60 per cent of their mills will close, and It Is also reported that the Con solidated Milling Company will discon tinue operations, although it 13 not learned, how many mlll3 will be affected. The officials say the shut-down Is due to the shortage In the demand for flour. The foreign trade. It Is declared, is prac tically dead, while the present stock of tho mills will be sufficient to supply tho domestic trado for aotna time to come. It Is contended generally that the com ing election and political Influence have to some extent brought about the sudden decline In demand and It is probable that none of the mills will resume operations until after election is over.
