Th demand for wheat from the Far East
has developed into a good volume. In ad
dition to the cargo shipped to Hongkong
recently and one going to Shanghai, another
full cargo of wheat has been sold to Jap
anese millers and a mixed cargo of wheat
and flour will also go out for the Orient.
Th-? mixed cargo will be taken on the
Japanese steamer Shibato Maru, which ar
rived in the lower harbor yesterday. The
big Japanese steamer Goto Maru Is due here
the latter part of the inontk and will take
a full cargo of what to Japan. The grain
Is understood to be for the new mills now
being erected in that country. Some small
lnta of wheat have gone to them heretofore
on Ihe regular Portland liners and a con
siderable quantity has been- shipped across
from Puget Sound. Negotiations are under
ymy for transporting several more full wheat
largoes to' Japan after the first of the year.
One cargo has already gone out on the
steamer Harold Dollar for the new Rennie
mill at Hongkong and another lot will be
dispatched on the steamer Bessie Dollar for
Shanghui.
These shipments are regarded as the be
ginning of a big movement of the raw ma
terial to the mills of the Far East. Here
tofore the Orientals have confined them
selves to purchases of flour from the Pacific
Coast, but In the near future they may be
doing nil the manufacturing themselves.
They will, however, find it necessary to buy
the whnt on this sldo until Manchuria is in
a position to supply them.
The export flour trade in the meantime
continues rather dull. Business with Japan
and Hongkong is restricted, but some orders
are coming In from North China markets.
The export demand for wheat, combined
with the light local receipts and good tone
of other markets, has resulted in consider
able firmness in prices here. Yesterday's
Quotations were unchanged from Friday. A
slight improvement in the car situation is
reported.
CAR-SHORTAGE MKRTIXO POSTPONKn.
Fair Amount of Activity In Loral Hop Mar
ket and More But loess Promised.
The Oregon Hop Shippers' Car Shortage
Association met In the office of A. J. Ray
yesterday to hear the committee's report
and take final action, but adjourned until
next Tuesday, as a number of the dealers
were out of the city.
A fair degree of activity was reported in
the market. A. J. Ray bought the Farn
ham and Ingram lots, aggregating 109
hales, at Hillsboro at 10 to 11 cents. The
J. W. Scavcy Hop Company purchased two
carloads, one of them from the Uhlmanns
at 11V cents John Heisle, of Forest Grove,
sold his crop of 71) bales at about 12 cent
but the name of the buyer was not learned.
A considerable amount of quiet buying
Is said to be under way, either by specu
lators or by dealers, who are covering their
short contracts.
The car situation in general is unchanged.
Some orders are in for immediate shipment
and if the cars can be secured quite a little
buying can be looked for. Growers con
tinue to hold their hops with much firm
ness. Klabr. Wolf A Netter report a number
of London shipments going forward and
there Is a likelihood of their buying further
Jots for export.
Th latest Issue of the New York Journal
of Commerce says of that market:
"A moderate export business is being dona
In the spot market, but it is not of a char
acter to make any material change in rul
ing conditions, the market being steady on
the basis of former quotations. Letters from
up-sttite report a fairly good business dur
ing tha past few days, at about former
prices. A1 letter from the Watervllle sec
tion states that only about -5 to SO per
cent of the crop remains in growers hands."
M GAR IS DOWN 10 CENTS.
California Refiners "Scrap" Has Not Yet
Iteen Brought to a Close.
Sugar consumers have been granted sn
ot hf r respite from the threatened high
prices. Yesterday the market dropped- 10
cents on all grades. This movement, in
the face of a strong position all over the
world. Is pretty good evidence that the rival
refiners of California have not yet patched
up their differences. As their dispute has
already cost them an immense sum of money
it stands to reason that the ruinous war can.
not last much longer and that sooner or
later they will be forced to come together.
When the Sprekles refinery advanced its
pries 13 cents earl in the week the Cali
fornia & Hawaiian Company went up only
& cents. The formtr yesterday took off 10
cents from Its list, which again brought
the two concerns on the same basis. What
part the beet sugar people had In bringing
about yesterday's decline is not clearly
known.
GOOO WEEK PROMISE!) IN POCLTRY.
Receipt of Ranch Kgg Show Home In
crease Butter V nehanged.
Receipts of poiiltry were only fair yes
terday and with a moderate demand all the
arrivals were cleaned up lit steady prtrea.
Prospects favor another good week.
The supply of Oregon eggs Is gradually
increasing, but it has not yet had much ef
fect on prices, as the local demand holds
g-od.
There was no change yesterday In the
butter situation. It was expected that sev
eral more of the city creameries would go
lo the top price, but they held back.
luteal Potato Prices I nc hanged.
Slightly higher prices are quoted in the
Kan Francisco potato market on strictly
fancy stock, but local shippers say only a
small fraction of the sales axe of that grade.
The returns on the week of the shipments
do not Justify any improvement in prices
at this end. Most of the shippers have been
wired to buy cautiously.
Sweet Potatoes at Last Arrive.
Three cars of sweet potatoes arrived yes
terday and relieved the famine In .that ar
ticle. A car of cranberries la due early In
the week. Apples continue to arrive freely
and the market has an easy tone. Trading
in fruits and vegetables was very fair yes

PIT SENTIMENT BEARISH
WHEAT CLOSES OFF A SHADE AT
CHICAGO.
Market Steadied Late in the Day on
Reports of Heavy Shipments
From Duluth.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8. At. the opening, senti
ment in the wheat pit was bearish because of
easier cables, the Liverpool market closing at
a loss of d. The market was also de
pressed by receipts in the Northwest, which
were again larger than for the corresponding
day a year ago. About the middle of the
day the market became more firm because of
buying by Northwestern houses: This, It
was asserted, was caused by heavy 'shipments
of wheat from Duluth today, which were re
ported' to amount to 1.000.000 bushels. Later
the market eased off on selling by local lqngs.
The close was steady. May opened 4c
lower at 7979Hc to 79Vic sold between 79
"Uc and 79-c and closed off He to 4c at
79M7Hc.
Sentiment in the com pit was bullish. The
close was firm and the prices at the highest
point of the day. May opened unchanged to
a shade lower at 43$i44c to 44c, sold at
43 He and then advanced to 44 He, where It
closed ic net higher.
Oats were firm on a brisk demand by
shorts and local traders. May opened a shade
to He lower at 35c to 35H735;c, and sold
up to 36Hc and closed Hc higher at
36Hc
Trading in provision was active and prices
showed decided buoyancy, despite a 10c de
cline In the price of live hogs. The small
movement Of live hogs was the chief strength
ening influence. At the close, January pork
was up 40c at $15.75; lard was 12'arl5c high
er at $8.72H. and ribs were 15c higher at
$8.50.

STOCKS ONLY WAVER
Recover Quickly From Shock
Caused by Bank Statement.
CONFIDENCE NOT IMPAIRED
Early Keller by the Treasury De
partment Is Expected Harri
man Shares Affected by
Proceedings In Ttah.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8. The bank statement
not only reflected fully the loss of cash in
dicated by the week's known movements of
money, but more than made up the discrep
ancy in the loss reported last week, which
was smaller than the estimates. The cash loss
was $12,263,600. The net result Is a deficit
below the legal reserve" required of $6,702,375,
which is the largest deficit in the New York
reserve since the Summer of 1893, when the
endless chain drain on United States Treasury
gold holdings was In operation to supply the
exigent demand for gold to ship outwards.
This compares with a deficit in the correspond
ing week last year of $1,246,525. Last year
an animated speculation - broke out at the
stock exchange in the week following the
deficit. It is this precedent which plays an
important part in keeping up speculative confi
dence In the present market.
Prices wavered and yielded slightly today
after the bank statement appeared, but- re
covered nearly all the declines before the trad
ing ended, and the closing was only slightly
Irregular. The Hill stocks were conspicuously
weak, and the Harriman stocks showed some
special effect of the judicial proceedings
against the company in Utah.
There Is no money market at the stock ex
change on Saturday and loans made on Fri
day carry over until Monday. The effect of
the bank statement was restricted to senti
ment. Therefore sentiment on the subject was
modified by the firm confidence that some
action would be taken by the Treasury De
partment for the relief ofc-the money situation
in the interval before aperattons are resumed
In the stock market Monday. Movements were
reported to be in progress In mercantile quar
ters to urge the Secretary of the Treasury
to release Government funds to the money
market for the relief of the restrictions said
to be put on commercial operations by reason
of money scarcity.
Total sales of bonds today were, par value,
$930,000.
Undertone of Firmness.
Acute stringency has ruled in the money
market all through the week and the money
position has occupied attention almost to
the exclusion of all other topics. Call loans
have risen above 20 per cent every day or
the week. The feature of the stock market
has been its stubborn resistance to the
conditions in the money market, prices
yielding slowly and Irregularly and from
the vantage ground of early advances and
occasional rallies. The undertone of firm
ness In the market has been due to the
sustained confidence in the underlying con
ditions of prosperity throughout tlie coun
try. The President's message was without ac
tive Influence in the market. All matters,
in fact, were submerged in the considera
tion of the exigent money situation. Sev
eral announcements were made during the
week of intenaed new capital issues. This
served to awaken attention to the large
needs ahead of the market of this kind,
and which, it Is expected, will come forward
with any relaxation in the money market.
The bond market has been dull, but prices
were but little affected by the money situa
tion. United States 2s advanced per cent
on call during the week.
