Large Dealers Have Eastern Orders on Hand. WOODBURN. Or.. Ja. 14. (Special.) The hop market shows more activity. Livosley &. Co. made offers of 20 cents in this city today, but growers declined to sell. .Nearly all largo dealers In Oregon have Eastern orders nt 2Jfe 30! cents f. o. b. Oregon. Many of thebc or ders were received several days since and still remain unfilled. 'This Is the true "solution as to the quick absorption Of Klaber's offerings. No hois in Oregon arc now being bought for lr& than 29 cents, except of a - very inferior grade. The statements of Uic beam through the prot-s "that England. will ship back to American brewers and dealers &. portion of hops already cxiortcd" "U such a preposter ous proM!tion that growers receive the pub lished statement with dcriblon. a it is con ceded that England wilt yet require several thousand bales of American hops to supply the enormous and unprecedcriHd. .deficiency existing there American brewers and dealers havo in flexibly pun-ued the hand-to-mouth policy to bear the market, yot ate now compelled to replenish their depleted stocks at onry a small louccssion of 2 cents per pound under the highest prices of October. Sonic growers at liuttoville are consigning their hops through Scbeurer & Co. to London, where sales arc now boing made which set the Buttcvllle growers 31 to 32 cents per pound. As the English dealer is paying these prices for American hops at present. It is quite improb able that he will reship back to American iralers and brewers unlc-s hops are "worth "rom 40 to 50 cents per round in New York, which is not an unreasonable price under the p-et-eut strong statistical position of the hop market, which la today in a more favorable oinditten on the Coast and in all the markets of the world than since November 10, 1004. N'-t to exceed 80.000 bales of hops remain unsold upon the Pacific Coast. LAKK COUNTY WOOL SALES. Buyer Contracts for 25,000 Fleeces at K 10 Cent.. I.AKEVIKW. Or.. Jan. 14.

"Those who are selling now are jotting one-third down on tho estimated clip and will have the use of the money for tlx months without interest, which maks It an object with some.

THE Advance Carries 'Up Rest 'of List, but Realizing Makes Closing Irregular. , NEW YORK. Jan. 14. The sudden revival of animatlen in Union Pacific, which stirred the late stock market yesterday, was con tinued today, sending the price of the stock to 113. Northern Securities on the curb went to a new high record in. company. There were floods ot rumors of supposed plans for read justment 6f the railroad situation growing out of tho disintegration of the Northern Securi ties Company, but the only actual news was the Up circulated from up-town speculative quarters that Union Pacific was to touch 120 today. There was a strong sympathetic move ment in Southern Pacific and St. PauL There was large buying of United States Steel pre ferred and Amalgamated Copper. Elsewhere In the Itet tbo strength was mod crate and there was some pressure to realize on the advance. This was especially manifest after the appearance of the very strong bank statement. Not only was the large Inflow' of currency from the Interior for the week re flected in the statement, but alto that of last week, -which failed to show in last week's statement, owing to local shifting of cash loans. As a consequence, this week's state ment shows a growth of over $15,000,000 In cash. There was at the same time a contrac tion jf -$3,405,000 in the loan account- The net result was to bring up the surplus over legal reserve requirements by $12,831,023. This accumulation, coming on the extremely easy money market. Is likely to enhance the outgo ot gold to which is soon to be added re mittances to Cuba for the final installment on subscriptions to the Cuban loan which may call for upwards of $10,000,000. Excited buying- of Union Pacific pulled up Its related stocks to tho top level toward tho, end of the sccaion, but realizing at other points made the closing Irregular and very active. Total wiles or bonds. $4,315,000. Stocks have backed and filled thi6 week on a small volume of dealings which has com prised Jlttle more thane the tentative opera tions of professional traders to find the course of the market. There has Ijcen no real motive power In the market, owing to profound neg lect by powerful trading interests and the out side public. Much discussion of the causes of the Sack of Interest In the market has failed to bring about any general agreement, but a number of contributory causes have been commonly arcepted. The sensitiveness of speculative sentiment to the settlement of the legislative programme at Washington emerges with tolerable clearness. Thus prices advanced with some decision on Monday morning, when It wajf generally re ported that the Saturday conference of po litical leaders had Resulted in an agreement that it would not be practicable 'to undertake any prominent nw measures at tho' present session of Congress. On the other hand, tho most distinct decline of tho week occurred on Thursday, when the traders were confronted with the explicit report that the President had determined to press for prompt action on a measure for the fixing of railroad' rates by Federal authority. Aside from the effect on necurltlcs which would be subject to spe cial Influences by changes in tariff schedules, especially during the period of discussion upon those changes,, the readjustments In busi ness which go with changes In rates of du ties arc expected to beget hesitation for a time. The present easy condition of the money mar ket seems to promise advantageous conditions for the coming floatations. But factors are at work which may modify the usual accumula tion of banking reserves In New York In the first part of the year. There Is no present limit In sight to the outgo of gold from New York, which is in progress toward Paris, South Ame'rica and Japan. This week's run on a bank doing business among the foreign population on the East SMe of the city vaa attributed by an official of the bank to the sensational interest at taching to the story of Mrs. Chad wick's ex ploits and to the discuraion of the alleged practice of over-certification of checks fy tho great downtown banks which was awakened by tho testimony in a lawsuit growing out of the exploiting of a mining ttock in the "curb market. It cannot bo said that the financial world, itself, fa in any state ot disquietude ovor banking practices or the practice among banks through the country. There Is a widespread conviction that the ad vance in certain securities Is preliminary to the working out of comprehensive plans of now relations looking to enhanced values; The result is to Induco operators to refrain from activity and await mora light on the future. Bonds havo been In better demand than stocks. United State 2s declined per cent and the new 4s advanced 4 per cent on call in the week. STOCK QUOTATION'S. q Sales. High.

Striking Feature Is Large Increase ia Cash Reserve. NEW YORK. Jan. 14. The Financier says: The most striking feature of tho official statement of the New York associated banks this week was tKe more than $15,438,900 In crease In the cash reserve. This gain was not unexpected, because it was shown by tho estimates of cash movements, which were based upon the traceable changes In money during ast week, that the banks had gained $12,660,000 In cash. Moreover, in the prevloua week there had. been a gain of $7,500,000 ac cording to the estimates of that week. The official returns showed a loss of $703,300. It was regardsd as probable, therefore, that through the adjustment of bank averages, the week's official statement would show qulto an Important gain of cash. The Increase as reported was $1Q.43S.OOO. which was $5,730,000 below the turn of the estimated galnn for the fortnight. Arter deducting from thta aggre gate of $20,183,300. the net gain by the banks for the period was $14,533,600 is shown by -the statement: the discrepancy ot $5,&66,666 may be partly accounted for by the system of bank averages. The deposits increased $0,901,500. which amount closely corresponded with the sum of .the gain in cash less the decrease in loans; therefore, tho statement showed a remarkably good balance. It is noteworthy that tho legal tender holdings of the banks are now $2,603,000 in excess of the maximum of last year. The reserve requirements against general deposits list week were $2,497,873, deducting which sum from the gain in cash as above left $12.- S31.023 as tho increase in surplus reserve to $24,459,275. At the corresponding date last year .this surplus was $23,181,700. Tbo statement of the clearing-house banks of thla city for the week shows: Increase.

CHICAGO WHEAT STRONG. Except for Break Late In Day Caused by Profit-Taking. CHICAGO. Jan. 14. Notwithstanding a slight "decline at Liverpool, the wheat market opened strong with May up s8!i to "484c at $l.lCs 81.16. Shorts and commission houses were active bidders, but negotiations for a tlmo were comparatively light. The result was a further advance. The strength- was attrib uted partly to an advance in outside markets yesterday after the session here had closed. Among Influences that helped bring out tho Improved demand were predictions of a de crease In world's shipments. The prevailing cold weather throughout tho United States was, however, the chief factor. It being cx- nected that the cold would furnish an add! tlonal check to the movement of wheat from farms. The receipts of today proved that this expectation was not without some foundation. primary receipts being 470.000 bushels, com pared with 720,400 bushels a-year ago. Late in tho day a sharp break occurred 011 fairly liberal profit-taking by several Influential nouses. On the decline shorts were actlvo buyers and there was another rally In prices. The market was firm at the close, with May at $1.16". a net gain of S814c The com market. Influenced by weak ca bles and poor export demand, opened some what easier, but developed firmer. May closed practically unchanged at 4414c Small receipts gave a firm tone to the oats market early In the day. but later the market eased off somewhat on a lack of demand. May closed at 314831Uc Provisions wero quiet and steady. At the close. May pork was off 214c at $12.674, lard was down 21483c at $6.85. Ribs were a snaoe lower at $6.7086.7214.
