OATS Active and firm. BARLEY Local prices strong. HAY In oversupjrty and w oak. BITTTER Hatter tone on Front street. EGGS Weak but no lower. POl'LTRY Rocelpts dean up. PRUIT-'-Good demand for apple. The bop market was. If anything, more acUv yentorday than It baa we at any time fince the preeent tlurry -began. Nearly all the dealers bad order to All, and when it wan poiisftde this was done from the stocks of other dealers. Spot iMtppilw are rapidly decreeing and buyer will poor be forced to turn to the country to meet their require ments. Prices Mki yesterday rag(d from 8 to 10 cents. Thl do not look like an advance, but when quality to considered it wMI be seen that values have stiffened materially. "While the eonsMeratiotMi remain the same, the quality has gone forward ; that te. boos that were only classed as prime & month ago are now graded a choice and the lower qualities have acoe-rdlngiy moved up on the xsate of classification. This its a natural consequence of the activity of the market with po large a proportion of the crop goe and the fancy grades almost eliminated. No large trknaactlows were reported from the country yesterday, but a number of small lots -were nold by growers. Harry L. Hart, of this city, bought 22 bah from George Bag ley, of HtlhdxMW, at 9 eente; the Koemln lot of 2S bales at BuUerllle at 9 cent: the Charles Teng lot of 49 bales at Brooke, at 9 cents, and a lot of 28 hales ef mediums from Head, of Hlllsboro. H. L. Bents purchased' SS balos from Hirsh berg, of Independence, at' 10 cents and the Starkweather let of 43 bales at RHey at 9 cents. In the spot goode market one dealer boHght 300 bales at 9 to 9Jfc erntn. and several ether dealers purchased lots ranging from 50 to 100 bales. The block of 000 bales of Independence bops that was offered :by the United States National Bank has not 4treu' sold yet. Quite a nutn ler of bids were made en the lot, some of them understood to be at very good irtce. but Mr. Schmcer declined to part with them in the present condition of the market. "With prices ho strong and the outlook ho hopeful, it is a matter of aurjulfie to nepmen that speculators liave not taken hold by this time and cornered a part of the supply. It hi the general belief that the market has been overbold and that a boht manipulator could now make a - pile of money by squeezing the xhwrls, but no one hats undertaken the game, unlets! It baa been going on ecretty during the present buying kjhjU. So far as -the open trade know, there are only two longs in the market, Schwarz & Sons, who are carry ing mine (V.KH) bales, and Maurice Relmdein, of this city, who ha lately bought Iieavtly and has neither -W in the open market nor shipped any of bl bops. Discussing market conditions yesterday. H. L. Bents said: "I am satisfied that the Oregon crop has been greatly overestimated and I do not be lieve that the limit retmlb will show over 105,000 balec grown in this aUtte in 1905. Nor can 1 see bow the coming crop will be any larger, as the low price have so dirvcou raged growers that many of them will not properly t'ultlvate their yards. No outlay, to apeak of. Ik being made for fertilisers or Improve ments, and the small amount" f new acreage that wilt come in will not nftaet tlrfs. 1 be lieve the same thing will prove true in "Other bop-growing countries. The 'market now In rertalnly in favor of the holders of hops." I1AY MARKIIT WKAK. Heavy local Slocks Depress Prices Hurley ami Oats linn. The hay market if depreaaed by tlie big local stocks carried. Cheat hay is down, but other kinds are weak at quotations. Valley timothy is very' hard to move. Receipts have been light for several dajy. but dealers foar supplies will again begin to come in heav ily this week. There Is a good market for oats, and barley l also very firm. The wheat market was lifoloss yeaterday with prices almost nominal. Broomhall's lat est weekly crop summary bays: "United Kingdom and France The weather is mlM ana wet. Supplies are moderate. German The weather has become milder after the frost and tnow. Supplies of native wheat are moderate R Ik expected that purchase of foreign wheat wilt be warned In May or June after the Increase of duty. Hungary The crop -ltuatlon ia rather unsatisfactory. Roumanla and Bulgaria There are no oomidalnts heard regarding the wheat cmp. The weathor la wintry. Russia There Is a good snow covor. Odessa expects fair supplied after the holi days. Argentine Harvesting Is progressing favorably. The corn crop is expected to be a record one." BUTTER SUPPLIES LARGER. Weaker Tone Is Reported In the Front . Street Market. The butter market shows signs of weakness In some quarters ,on Front street, but other dealers steadily maintain former prices. The city creameries aro woll supplied and report an even trade. Eggs were weak, but no lower yesterday. Should the weather continue favorable In the coming week, the increased receipts will probably cause a lowering of prices, .but a cold spell will have the opposite effect. A sufficient quantity of poultry was put on the street for tho end-week demand, and the offerings all cleaned up at unchanged prices. World's Supply of BreadbtufTs.

CHICAGO. Jan. IS. Advices from Argen tina of additional rains and-a resulting de layed movement of the wheat crop resulted in a Arm market here today. Several of the larger commission houses bought freely In the first hour and although local traders sold liberally, prices made a moderate ad vance. In India the wheal crop was saM to be suffering from lack of moisture. Toward the middle of the day the market reacted somewhat on selling. Induced by reports of a slack demand for flour in the Northwest and at Kansas City. The easier feeling. however, was quickly dispelled by active buying by shorts, who were stirred to action by the smalt primary receipts and heavy clearances at the seaboard. The market closed Arm. After opening unchanged to He higher at .SSffSSfer. the May optloR sold between Sfec and SHc and closed at Unsettled weather In the Central Wt caused strength in -the corn market. The market closed strong with prlees at the highest point of the day. May opened un changed at 4Sc, sold off to 45c and then advanced to 45ri45sc where It dered. Sentiment In the eats pit was bearish. May opened unchanged to He lower at 32fX2Uc, sold between 31 Tie and 32Hc and closed at J222Hc Provisions were ealer early In the session because of profit-taking by longs, which was induced by a 10c decline in the price of live bogs. Pit traders, however, were outHyfcly Inclined, beoause of heavy shipments ef meat and lard, and bought freely. Their opera tions remitted In a firmer feeling. At the cloe May pork was up Sc. lard was up and ribs were 2 Vi fi5c higher. The leading futures ranged aa lotto: WHEAT. Open.

PUBLIC TIES HOLD Outsiders Again Interested in Wall Street. LOOKING FOR INVESTMENTS Plans -Arc Being: Made to Intlucclhe I-iambs to Enter tbc Speculative Arena Holders Seek ing to Unload. . NEW YORK. Jan. 13. (Sped aL) A per ceptible widening In the range of lnteret has occurred In the etock market this week. It is still true, no doubt, that large specula tive capitalists and professional traders sup ply most of the activity, as they have done a good while past. But the market Is . no longer exclusively confined to this clasi of operators. OuUlde speculators, who were rrlghtened away from Wall street by the high market rates of the last two months are be ginning to pluck up courage, now that easier money conditions have arrived. All the signs point to the public having re-entered the mar ket, to no very large extent at present, but enough to be noticed as a factor of Increasing consequence in the dealings. From now on the efforts of the master spirits of the specu lation will be to fcter this public interest as much as possible. This may be done In one or two" ways, either by a gradually rising price move-, ntent extending over a considerable period, or by a wenf-atlonal upward whirl, which will be most exciting while It lasts, but will be quickly over. There are men of such .shrewd ness and experience who have to look for ona and some tor the other of these- two things to happen. Whlcherer course the campaign for the rise follows, the object wilt be the same. to allow the larger speculative holders to reap their large accumulation of paper profits. which In the narrow market of the last six months they have not been able to do. If all goes well with the harvests next Summer the present business boom may run on Indefinitely. If. on the other hand, eome accident were to overtake the crops, and this ! a contingency that prudent men can never afford to forget, the expanded condition of trade would suffer serious revulsion. There fore the ie.w among important stockholding Interests Is that as In the next two months worries of the agricultural sea-on will begin. It wilt be well to tighten the ship, relying upon an opportunity presenting Itself In the Interval before the fate of the crops Is ap proximately known, to recover thlr holdings to advantage. What the market for" the next few weeks Is likely to witness Is a great effort to shift the burden of speculative liabilities and that this will be accomplished by a big speculation and much excitement in Wall street circles, the events of the last few days aufilclently. Indl cate. An active digestive process has been clearly In evidence In the stock market and It was not until the latter part of the week that there were signs of the completion of this process and the resumption of large operations on the long s4de. such an characterized the trading of the latter part of the oW year. The market r Hewed excellent absorptive power throughout and the large realizing, which was attributed to some of the heaviest operators, was accomplished .without serious Impairment of mices. The market became narrower under the pro- cs of realizing and there was a perceptible foiling off in the newly awakened outside in torest. which apparently took warning from tho witling? of the large speculative hold ers to supply new demand and lighten tuoir heWtngs. Apprehension that the realizing marked 'the culmination of speculation fof the rise curbed the new demand. - There was no actually unfavorable, news to account for the reactionary tendency. There has been during the week no 'small degree of anorehenelon that the money situation Itself might wurx te the disadvantage of the further conduct rtf the speculation. hen gold exports wer under olfcuftdon' during the week- the fatting off In the activity of the stock market and the evidence of pressure upon It rave color to thl apprehension. It was not relieved at once by the large replenishment of the local mone.- market from domestic sounm which was going on. It was expected, that this increased supply of funds would operate only to facilitate the outgo of gold to for eign markets. The pressure upon New York from abroad was Increased ty tnc roreign political outlook and by the manifest dispo sition of fereU-H money center to conserve their resources and to recuperate from the heavy strain wh'ch has been put upon capital supplies alt ovar the world. A feature vf the week has been the large selling of American securities in London for New York account. Slocks thun mW In ln- have come back upon the New York mar ket and 4 he IhfU-datlon of the loan by which they were carried has made a heavy demand fr foreign exchange In New York, with ef fect both in the tock market and tne ex change raarkaj. With the exchange rate near ly at the gold export point, however, bankers MlM made their reappearance In the exchange market, indicating the possibility of thp re newal of maturing liabilities to foreign lenders. Meantime, the reflux of funds to New c from domestic sources has been pronounced and supplies in the money, market have car ried Interest ratew down to a roucn easier leVet. Bend have moved Irregularly and moderate ly, except for some of the speculative issues. United States 2s coupon advanced fx per cent on call or. tho week. There was enormous profit-taking through out today's short session, of the Exchange. Notwithstanding the very actl'e demaau, which lifted the volume of sales for the two hours' session to near the million mark, the market was kept In an irregular -state by the constant realizing and showed some signs of disorder In the final dealings. There were sustaining point of strength at all time and. prices were lifted to the highest after the general reaction from the -opening ad vance, but the favorabis bank statement, which was better than the preliminary Cli mates, was the flgnal for hea selling throughout the llt to take advantage of lis stimulating effect on the new demand. The Pacifies were especially afTected by the late realizing. This was after Union Pa cific had been lifted a fraction to a new record level at 15S. At one time Amal gamated Copper and United States Steel pre ferred momentarily were a point above last night's leveL The Hill stocks also made wide additions to their recent large ad vances. Missouri Pacific continued Its newly awakened activity and had some effect on other members of tho Gould group. The up ward rush In Brooklyn Transit at the last was due to revived traction merger rumors. Reports ef failures of brokerage bouses In Pittsburg and Cleveland had some bad effect on sentiment.

The Plnaneier this week says: Last week's official statement of the New York Associated Banks showed more remark able gains In caoh and In surplus reserve. This dleclceuro. so far as cash wan concerned, was, however, foreshadowed by the tetlmates, whih were based upon lh traceable move ments (f money during the, week, Mirh eMI mates tndk-ailng large Increases In cash from almost eery i-oUrrr. The comparatively small augmentatioB In loans was another Itn port ant feature of the statement. The state ment showed as Increase, compared with the previous week, of $15,603,500 cash, which gain was about $3,666,000 greater than that shown by the preliminary estimates. Speclo , was augmented by nearly $11,000,000 and legal tenders by about $4,606,000. The increase in cash appears to have been due to large re ceipts of money from the Interior, every sec tion contributing thereto, and also to heavy disbursements by the Sub-Treasury. Incident to the period of the year. It Is noteworthy that In the econd week of January. 1905, the cash gain was $15,333,333. The required re serve against deposits increased $3,3G.S50. de ducting whleh from the gain In cash left $12, 237.C50 as the Increase In surplus reserve to $12.S0S.650: In the corresponding week last year the Increase in surplus was $12.531, 023.
