PRICES ARE VERY STRONG Chinese Arc the Only Growers Offer ing to Sell Bigger Yield of Sononias Is Predicted. Wheat Market Dull. HOPS Eastern orders arriving freely. WHEAT Buyers and sellers views apart. POTATOES Local market easier. ONIONS Heavy Blocks cause de pression. POULTRY LI ght receipts are suf ficient. EGGS Supply and demand, equal. BUTTER Top grados move readily. MEATS Strong demand far all de scriptions. 4 There was somewhat of a lull in. the Imp market la the last lwlf of the week, when the activity s compared with the 'volume of business preceding It, yet the number of sal 03 lias boon by no means small. That the com ing week wilt see more business Is apparent from the numbor of orders received yesterday. The inquiry now is largely for the tower Grade Iwps which can be bought between S and 0 cents, and which will doubtlcra soon Irocome as scarce as the fancy varioties are. The strength of the market is shown by the fact that 0 cents is now paid for medium to prime goods that beforo the holidays wont begging at S cents. The same elevation of values, though not apparent In the prices quoted, lias taken place all along the Mne, ex cept in the case of shippers, which are almost out of the market. Growers are very firm, and many of them whoho hope are only fair will not consider offers of even 10 cents. Some Chinese grow ers are in the market with their product, as Is always the case Juut before the Chinese New Year, but few other Itops in first hand are bolng marketed. Dealers' stocks are also running low, because of the heavy inroads made in them in the poet two weeks, and it the demand continues, buyers will eoon have to resort to the coantry to fill thoir require ments. A the growers now talk. It looks as If buyers will lwive to pay better prices, or else cease buying. Estimates made by dealers of unsold stocks remaining In Ann hands in Oregon range from 17,000 to 22.000 bales. It is ld there are only C300 bales loft unboM. in "Washington. California has a big supply, but most of them are of the lowoet-grade Sac ramentos. The largest transaction reported from the country yesterday was the sale of tho Joo Aieher let of 140 bales at Woodburn, under stood to be at 10 cents. The name of tho buyer waB not learned. J. L. McKJnncy, of the Hubbard section, sold 40 bales of export quality to Klaber, Wolf & Netter at private terms, but known to be at tle top. McKinley Mitcholl bought a number of maJI lots from growers, aggregating 100 bales, at around 8 cents. The Tarner lot at Gervais was cold at 9J4 cents. R. W. McDonald & Co., of this city, yes terday bought the D. Schemer lot of 24 bales at Beaverton at 8 cents, and tho A. Aplln lot of 00 bales at St. Paul at 0 cents. According to the Santa Rosa. Republican of January 17, the low prices are not going to result tn a smaller crop of Sononias this Fall. That paper says: "According to the best-Informed men In the hop business in Sonoma County, thore will be a much larger yield next year than there was last season. If tilings are anywhero near nor mal. It is explained that the new yards put out last season will come into heavy bearing next Fall, and that those yards that had a light yield, owing to various untoward condi tions, may liavo a much heavier crop If the weather permits. Some of those given to prophecy declare that the yield of tho county ought to exceed 30.000 bales. Some contracts are being made and a few bales are being sold this weak. The prlcos of the sales and the amounts named in the contracts do not indicate higher prices soon, though, of course, the market Is a peculiar thing and subject to sudden fluctuations." The Government ropert of the beer sales for November has been made public and shows S.7SG.2G7 barrels, against 3.5S4.001 barrels dur ing November, .1004, an increase of 201,300 barrels. 5 WHEAT HOLDERS MUM. Buyers' and Sellers' Views Apart and Little Buhinchs Results. Wheat farmers arc stiff holders and thoush there is a good demand at the price, the quantity of grain changing hands is small. Some dealers believe that tho unsold supplier left In the Northwest -are much smaller than have been estimated, and that as soon as the Callfornlans wake up to this fact there will be more pressure tq buy. They say that in sections that havo the most wheat only about 25 per cent of tho original quantity remains, whllo other sections are practically bare. Ex porters have been taking up small lota here and there, enough to provide cargoes for their tonnage engagements and what is left, they believe, will later find ready sale and at prob ably better values. Rains in the Southern, State have helped the prospects there, but the crop is still six months off, and in spite of the heavy shipments to San Francisco and Eaa Pedro, there will be largo requirements yet to bo filled. Much of the Northern wheat that was shipped to San Francisco has already been exported from there by shippers who had previously chartered vessels and were forced to come to Oregon and Washington for their cargoes. Conditions of crops In foreign exporting coun tries aro thus reported by Broomhall's Corn Trade News of January 2: Argentina Our own advlcca continue to re port favorable progress with the harvest, and confirm the news that the quality of wheat In Santa Fe is superior to last year's. In Amer ica reports of bad harvest weather have been circulated, and although, wc cannot get any confirmation of theso here, yet the general opinion is held that the harvest is certainly a late one. Wheat shipments increased moder ately last week, but leas com was put afloat. Australia A start has been made with the new season's shipments, 528.000 bushels hav ing been put afloat last week, but it is prob able that only one-third of this quantity will reach the United Kingdom. India It Is confirmed that the Funjaub has received good rains and crop prospects there are good. In other parts of India, however, we hear of no effective relief of the prevailing drouth, and, although the first official crop bulletins have reported tho condition fair to good, yet there can bo little doubt that present conditions aro unfavorable. Shippers express the opinion that exports will be email until further rains fall. We learn that at least one Arm of Indian shippers Is now willing to eell wheat on condition that the buyers shall re ceive compensation for dirt admixture. The terms arc as follows: Buyers to pay Is per quarter premium for the new terms; on ar rtval at port of discharge large samples of each parcel are to ze analyzed, in order to ascertain the exact percentage- admixture ct dirt; all dirt to bo allowed for at tho arice of wheat and an excess of dirt over 24 per cent is said to be allowed for at double the price of wheat. Russia So far there has been no severe frosts, and the crops - continue to look well; however, growers would be glad to see a good fall of snow. There was a substantial decrease in wheat shipments last week and the ..quantities may keep fairly light for some weeks, not because there la no grain to ship, but because owners are afraid to send their steamers to Russian ports. Stocks of wheat at Odessa, and Nlcolaieff total at leafct 5,000.003 bushels for the two ports. LIGHT POULTRY. RECEIPTS. But Supply Is Ample for Xocal Require ments. Poultry receipts were again light yesterday, but proved to be adequate, as tho big buyers wore not in evidence. Most of the arrivals wero cleaned up at near the ruling prices. Eggs were steady and unchanged with the supply and demand equal, so far as fresh stock was concerned, but Eastern eggs were In small request and decidedly weak. The butter market held its own at former prices. Good stock cleans up fairly welt. Cbcoso was quiet, and inclined toward weakness. STEAMER TRODUCE CLEANS UP. - X Lower Market Looked for on Potatoes and Onions. Tho steamer produce rccolvod Friday eve ning cleaned up .well .yesterday at firm prices. One car of standard oranges arrived in tho forenoon. The potato market was much easier and buyers look for lower prices this week, as it is known that 11 cars were shipped to San Franolsco in tho past two days from polcia outsldo of Portland. Onions -were also weaker with loeal stocks tophcavy. Teal In Strong Demand. A good market for veal is looked, for in the coming week. There is no danger of toe much good stock coming on the market, ner of good bogs, either, in the present state of tho demand. Mutton continues very scarce and strong. The beef market Is also firm.

Many lines of California cured fruits are so closely sold out that prlcos. while firm, are largory nominal. Most of the business now passing Is In prunes, which are gradually ad vancing. Raising move well at the recently revised prices. From present Indications the next crop of cured fruits will come upon a practically bare market. Clear, bright weather increased trado in fresh fruits today. Receipts were light. Prices for leading citrus varieties, bananas and fancy red apples were firmly maintained. The Chinese bought tangerines freely for their New Year festival next week. Three carloads of oranges are on hand for auction purposes on Monday. Tho potato market, aside from the fanciest table and seed descriptions, had an easy tone under liberal offerings. A few lots of Oregon Burbanks from the steamer Sen ator sold up to $L25, but most of the ship ments were slow at 90c$l.20. Fancy onions aro well cleaned up and Arm at $L40. Green peas and tomatoes are easier. The grain market was inactive, but option and spot prices for leading cereals were well maintained. Bran was easier on heavy ar rivals from tho North, but other feedstuffs wore steady. Butter was firmer without quotable change. Eggs wero lower. Selected ranch declined &c and store lc Eastern cold storage fell 2 cents. Cheese was firm and unchanged. Receipts: 25.900 pounds of butter, 2200 pounds of cheese and 20.370 dozen eggs.

BIG INTERESTS IN CONTROL Evidence Is Plain That Outside Par ticipation in Speculation Is In creasing Saturday's 3Iar kct Extremely Active. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. (Special.) The state ment was made a week ago that one of two different types of a rising speculation was likely to be seen In the immediate future. Either there would be an advance of short duration, but setUng a furious pace while It lasted, or a gradual movement In which the dlstributlcn of stocks In the hands of the larger Wall-street Interests would proceed slowly and which would therefore be expect ed to continue over a longer period. It Is evident that what has been witnessed for the past week is a market of the latter rather than of the former character. The level of prices, taking a. general average, has risen fairly steadily, but among industrial stocks there has been great irregularity, indicating that speculators have by no means been of one mind as to the immediate tendency of prices. In ether words, It has been far from a market like 1001 and 1002. where the outside public to vtK a favorite phrase, "took the bit in its teeth." and swept away all opposition. The public in the present market is yet only a small element. It Is to the wealthy specu lative interests that have been the prominent figures in the rise of the last IS months, that support for the upwnto movement must be still mainly looked for. The host of profes sional traders, large and small, hold the bal ance of power and tbey make up a sufficient number, whether in buying or selling, to de termine the day's, fluctuations. So long as these are the characteristics of the speculative situation the market may be expected to moe as it has this week, and In fact as it has pretty much for a year past, namely, with no great degree of uniformity, the prevailing method being for stocks to advance singly or in groups, rather than for the whole list to ascend at once There Is always the possi bility, however, of the outside Interest Increas ing sufficiently to give the movement a broader character and. Indeed, signs are not lacking at the dose of the week that outside participation Is extending o) rapidly that be fore long it will become the dominant force la the market. Dealings this week have amounted to more than 1.300.000 shares of stock a day en the average. A good market for securities of all classes has resulted and the constant real izing sales have been absorbed readily with out making large Inroads en prices. The realizing has not been generally at any time, and whenever It occurred, strong buying of other stocks at advancing prices made a sus taining Influence which helped, its accomplishment- Some dt the stocks which have been subjected to the heaviest realizing eame through the digestive process so vigorously as to encourage a resumption of operations for the advance and have formed afterward the strong sustaining influence in the mar ket. The realizing has come apparently from large operators.- who accumulated heavy lines of stocks in the early stages of the advance last Fall In anticipation of the en larged demand for stocks which would de velop with the turn of the year and who held tenaciously through the stringent money conditions of December. The present growth of the general demand Justifies their calculations and the enormous -profits ac crued In many instance Induce thoir retire ment from the speculation with assured gains. On the ether hand there is a large class of commission houses which kept tnclr clients out ef the speculation throughout the Au tumn with the explanation that (he ex igencies of the money market were hazardouf te speculative commitments and left a chance for a reaction In prices which would afford opportunity to obtain stocks at a lower level. The reaction failed to develop and while the present high level of prices does not commend itself to tho conservative Judgment of all. the decisive relaxation In money conditions offers such facilities far holding securities as to bring In a large be lated demand of this character. Besides the purely speculative realizing which makes up the bulk of the sales, there Is traceable a proportion of selling of invest ment holdings attracted by the prices to which some of the high-grade securities have been lifted and which are fairly termed fancy prices. A great variety of special conditions has been advanced for the demand for Individual stocks, but the general factors behind the movement are clearly enough defined In the havye accumulations of currncy In the reserve centers all over the world, which is going on and in the universal promise of sustained pros perity found In the reports and opinions from all quarters of the buelness and industrial world. Confidence has returned over the peace ful outcome of the Morocco conference, ami conditions In Ru.vIa have had less disturb ing effect on foreign markets. Admissions are readily given at the high level at which prices of securities are ruling of the danger of overextension and Imprudent undertakings in a time of high credit and universal confidence and the inevitable consequences of check to expansion, reaction and depression. But the answer now heard in Wall street is that, al though price are high, they promise to go higher before a reaction ensues. The element ef hazard Is not without Its fascination now, as in all preceding history, and speculative excitement clearly swells and extends. Bends nave moved moderately, except for the speculative Issues. United States 2s reg istered and 3s coupons advAnced Ve and the new 4s coupon 31 per cent, on call on the week. Activity was at the bollinr point In the stock market today. A detailed yialysLt of the net changes of the day reveals a liberal sprinkling of net losses throughout the list. In splto of the frothy whlpplng-up of prices In the special favorites. This process was conspicuous at the opening and again at the closing, but was taken advantage of at both times to market enough lines of stock and take profits out of the market. The most striking gains In the. early market were mush impaired during the progress of tho trading and in somo cases loescs were substituted. The burden of sustaining the late markot was thrown upon St, Paul, the 2Kpo!nt rise in which counteracted the realizing movement which became general after the appearance of the bank statement. Of the earlier fea tures. Reading rose In a volatile manner '4. points to a new-record level. This stock closed again within a fraction of the highest. Oth ers did not fare eo well. Anaconda, after selling 12 points higher than last night, closed 10 points lower. Amalgamated Copper was also under steady pressure of realising and the same was true of the Pacifies and smelting stocks. The unsteadiness of the market for the metal came in for consideration In con . recti cm with the copper and smelting stocks. United States Steel preferred continued its recent strong tone with a 2-point advance, of which it saved more than half at the last. The bank statement was regarded as fa vorable the gain in cash of nearly $12,000,000 being "rather in excess of the esUmates. The loan expaasioa of $2O,55S,O0O was regarded with less favor, but was considered a fair consequence of the great animation of the speculation during the week. The Ann tone of foreign exchange brought In some renewed eonrtdcraUoa of the question of a future export movement of gold. The final slump in Anaconda had a slightly unsettling effect on the market, which bad commenced to recover under the aggrendve lead of the &L Paul movement.

Gain Largely Due to Ilecelpts of Money I'ront the Interior and Govera raent Dlsburncmeals. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. TRe Financier says; The effiplal statement of the New York associated "banks last week, as was the case In the previous week, showed an Important Increase In cash and also In the surplus re serve The cash gains In both weeks were largely due to receipts from the Interior In excess of shipments; likewise to heavy dis bursements by the subtreasury. The offlcialty reported Increase in cash was $11,990,700. The deposits were augmented last week by $32,163,100. which amount was only $3S.3S7 smaller than he total of the Increaso In loans plus Che gain in 'cash, therefore tho statement made a good proof. The required reserve of 23 per cent against general de posits was increased $S.010.775. deducting which from the gain, in cash left $3,033,023 as the Increase In surplus reserve to $16, 764.575. Computed upon the basis of de posits less those of $7,945,200 public funds, the surplus Is $1S.SSS.373. The loans were expanded $20,533,900. as was expected would be the case from the active speculation In the stock market during the week. It Is noteworthy that whereas in the pre vious week loans were in excess of deposits' by $7.S23.40O and in the first week of Janu ary by $20v515,500. the deposits were last week in excess of loans by $3,773.S00.

The Hhipmenta from Australia for the week were 1,331.000 bushels, compared with 1.232.000 bushels for the corresponding time a year ago. Initial quotations on May were ort Vile-'K. to re at SCS7c. Further decline wm prevented by covering by shorts and purchas ing by some of the larger commission houses. This buying caused a alight recovery In price before the end of the first hour. For the remainder of the session, the market held steady. Trading In the July option showed In creased activity, buying being Induced by SpritTKllke weather In the Southwest, many purchasers acting on the theory that a quick drop In t-mperature would cau.se heavy damage to the unprotected crops of Fall-sown wheat.

In June, 1001, Mrs. Elva McCarl. at 403 South Grand avenue, East Portland, Or., was suffering with cancer of the breast of about three years standing. Doctors In Portland told her she must have It cut out at once; hor life depended upon it. She did not have it cut, but instead had Dr. J. li. Bohannon treat her with his nntl-Caneer Toxlne." which required Ies3 than three minutes. She recovered quick ly, and is yet well and strong, and weighs 42 pounds more than before she was treat ed. Another lady cured the same above way. now in Portland, Mrs. Julia "Wells, now at 26S Morrison st., cured by Dr. Bohan non after the X-ray and many other rem edies had failed. See or write her. Many others treated in Portland these two la dles will tell you of. and that you can see by calling on Mrs. McCarl and Mrs. Wells. Thousands of others have been cured In my 31 years practice on cancers and tumors. Dr. Bohannon asserts he can treat a cancer or tumor quicker, with less pafn. and with a more permanent effect, than any doctor in tho' United States. Any per son suffering with cancer or tumor want ing a speedy and permanent cure can see the doctor while in Portland. Oregon. Come and be treated and. return noma same or following day". Dr. J. Lt. Bohannon will arrive in Port land January 26. will remain in Portland at 409 South Grand avc.. E. Portland, until February IS. then return to his per manent office.
