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.

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.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 20. (Special.)
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.

RISE IS GRADUAL
Stocks Slowly Ascending . to
a Higher Level.
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. Total sales
of "bonds, par valu. $3,315,000.

GOOD INCREASE IN CASH
SEW YORK H.VXK STATEMENT
AGAIN KAVORABLE.
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 statement of the clearing-house banks
for this week follows:

Another Portland Lady Cured

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,
