FEW ONIONS LEFT
Only 106 Cars Now Remain
Unsold in the State.
DEMAND UNUSUALLY GOOD
In View of These Facts the Growers'
Association Decides That Bet
ter Prices Can Be Secured
by Holding Back.
Only 106 cars of onions remain unsold
in Oregon, the smallest quantity reported
at this season for many years past. This
was learned at the meeting of the Con
solidated On ion growers' Association yes
terday afternoon. Another fact of Im
portance brought out was that the ship
ments In the past two weeks have been
about 21 cars. This movement Indicates
a demand far better than usual and, taken
In connection with the very small surplus
available, points to a decidedly strong
market position. Current prices are there
fore considered to be' much too low. This
matter the growers have It in their hand
to remedy and they propose to do so by
restricting sales from now on.
Until yesterday the association was in
the dark as to the exact quantity of
onions held at Sherwood. J. C. Smock,
tho railroad agent at Sherwood, in a
letter gave the information that was de
sired; namely, that only 35 cars were left
in the section, four of which are sold
for shipment. The following table of
available supplies was accordingly made
up: Cars.
Sherwood 35
Tualatin IS
Heaverton 20
Mtlwaukie . 1
tvholls '.
Hillsboro 7
TVoodburn , S
Cedar Mills 7
Total 16
The 106 cars represent the quantity
available now. That there will be some
shrinkage, in the onions before all are
moved Is taken "for granted. As four
months of the season are left it can
readily be seen that this stock will not
po very far in supplying the Coast's
needs.
The, demand for onions is plainly shown
by the movement in 'the past two weeks,
in which three cars were shipped from
Cornelius, ten from Sherwood, four from
Tualatin and two from Mtlwaukie, to
gether with 510 sacks shipped locally,
making In all about 21 oars. Besides the
four cars sold and awaiting shipment at
fc'herwood, Tualatin reported four cars
to go out the coming week and Cornelius
three cars. In view of the facts
presented, the growers present at the
meeting decided that the proper thing
to do is to hold back.
Detailed reports made at the meeting
showed that the remaining stock in the
state is generally of good quality. .
LONDON APPLE TRADE IS BAD.
Market Demoralized by Too Heavy
Offerings.
The weekly market letter of W. Denis
& Sons, London, dated December 6, fol
lows: "
"Wo regret infinitely to. have to report
that our market has gone from bad to )
worse ana is now. completely demoral
ized, owing to the incessant stream of
heavy arrivals from all quarters. Bar
rels of apples have 'been selling today at
prices ranging anywhere from 10s to 14s
with a top price of about 16s for best
Canadian No. 1 Spies, prices which we
would never have dreamt having in view
tho cost on your side, would have had to
he accepted during the current season.
Where the fruit is all coming from to be
pushed upon the market at . such low
prices, when It must have been evident
to shippers that the quantities would
completely clog the market, we cannot
tell, tout we presume that this glut of
stuff is the direct outcome of the mone
tary pressure on your side.
The stringency on your side has, of
course, materially affected tho money
market here, with the consequence that
Knvefa' fnMHtlmi hnvA n n HrttiV,- tnnn
much curtailed by their bankers and for
this reason the buying order of both deal
ers and the consuming public has been
considerably diminished. We are of opin
ion that tho cable which will be going
lmme to shippers, as the result of sales
this week, must make them hold up ship
ments, unless tho pressure behind them
to turn their stock into cash is very
acute. In some instances this will no
doubt be so, but we have got a suf
ficient stock on this market and approach
ing our ports to satisfy any extra de
mand that may be brought about by the
Christmas trade, so that if there Is any
considerable quantity of stuff being
shipped by steamers now leaving your
Torts, and which arrive 'here about the
liith or 17th of December, we fear the re
- suit may prove disastrous.
Tho prices actually obtainable at the
moment are as follows:, Oregon New
towns, general quality, from 10s to 12s 6d
per box; ditto, superior quality, a few
hundreds of which have passed through
out hands today, from 14s to 15s 6d per
box: Californlan Newtowns, 4-tier, first
quality, Ss per box; ditto, second quality,
from 6s 6d to 7s; ditto, 4U-tier, from 5s

IIOP CONDITIONS IN LONDON.
Trade Is Slow, With Best Demand for
Choice Qualities.
English trade reports dated December
2 to 4 say of the London hop market:
Wild. Neame & Co., London There is
no alteration to report on oifr market;
business continues very quiet, and where
pressure to sell is brought to bear lower
quotations have to be accepted.
Manger & Henley, London Choice hops
are scarce and sought after, but the gen
eral business doing continues of a re
stricted character, and where sales are
pressed prices favor buyers.
Cattley, Gridley & Co., London Toe re
duced price of medium hops has had the
effect of increasing the demand, and a
fair business is passing In this class.
Choice, bright, healthy hops are ex
tremely scarce, and maintain full ratci.
All foreign markets are active only ior
home account, and, choice hops being
very scarce, but little business Is doing
for England' at present.
W. H. & H. Le May. London There
was decidedly more 'business doing at the
end of last week, and several parcels
were sold. The lower prices now ruling
are evidently tempting brewers to
stock up. .
J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester As
usual at this season the demand for
Worcester hops is on a very moderate
scale. Fine samples being absent, good
sound mediums are most inquired for,
and obtain about recent values, the lower
qualities seldom finding buyers. Last
week 123 pockets passed the public scales,
making 17.SS7 weighed this season.
TURKEY BUYERS HOLDING BACK.
Most of the Business Yesterday "Was on
, Shipping Account.
There were very good arrivals of
dressed turkeys yesterday. Some of
the dealers believe the bulk of their
supply is in, but others look for larger
receipts today. The demand was good,
but it was mostly on coantfy account.
Most of the retail Buyers are holding
off until today or Monday, and unless
they look sharp, some of them n.ay fret
left. Prices yesterday held around 18
and 19 cents. From present indications
quotations will be no lower. 'The
chicken market continued in a bad
way and a considerable portion of the
receipts were carried over.
Eggs were in first-class demand.'and
as the supply was ample, prices were
steady. , '
Butter was unchanged, with the bst
ter grades very firm.
. I s
STRONG DEMAND 1'OR ORANGES.
Large Sizes Will Be scarce Until After
Christmas.
The fruit trade was very active all
day. The demand was principally for
oranges, large sizes of which were
scarce, but there were plenty, of the
small sizes. A car of oranges was due
last night. Bananas are cleaned up
and there may be no ' more - before
Christmas. Apples moved off better.
Some fine peaches were taken out of
cold- storage and offered at 1.50 per
box. ,
There is likely to be a scarcity of
celery in a few days, as the latest ar
rivals have worked off well and no
cars are on the way.
Change in Front-Street Firm.
A change of much Interest in the
Front street produce trade was an
nounced yesterday, the retirement of
Ben C. Levy from the partnership of
Mark Levy & Co. The Interests of
the latter were taken over by Mark
Levy. The firm of Mark Levy '& Co.
is the oldest commission house in Port
land, having been established In Sep-
tember, 1882. Ben C Levy has not yet
made his plans for the future.
Young Iamb for Christmas.
Something unusual in the meat lie
was on exhibition at Dresser's yester
day. In the way of young lambs. Two
were received from Mount Angel, one
of which weighed 36 pounds and the
other 38 pounds. Only once before, it
is said, has the local trade been able
to sell young lamb at Christmas time
JJfrhter Business In Hop Marjcet.
Tho past week was not as active as the
preceding 'week In the iiop market, and in
the last few days but little business was done.
Buyers who returned from tha country yes
terday reported that It was still easy to buy.
Growers In all sections, they said, were much,
interested in the . proposed organization and
the meetings that are to be held throughout
the week will doubtless be very largely at
tended, especially those at points up' the Val
ley. . '

Chicago llt Opens Strong, bnt lib
eral Selling Causes Gains
to Vanish.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21. Higher prices at all
European markets, due to continued wet
weather in Argentina, Induced lively buy
ing of wheat in the local market at the
opening. Offerings in the pit during tho
first hour were again meager and prices
advanced rapidly. Indications of a fall
ing oft of the movemept in the Northwest
helped to stimulate bullish enthusiasm.
Late In the day offerings became more
liberal, small holders being disposed to
take profits. Nearly all of the earlier
gain was lost' as a result of this selling.
The market ciosed steady. May opened
to y2 higher at $l.O8:5i'!i1.07, ad
vanced to 91.07 and then declined . to

The close was weak. May opened 4

was at 57c.
Oats were firm at the start, c higher
at 64c, sold off to 63c, where the mar
ket closed. '
Provieions were strong, owing to an ad

At the close May pork was up T&c, and

DULL AND DRAGGING
Usual Slow Saturday Trade in
Stocks.
NO PRESSURE ON MARKET
Closing Tone Is Irregular, Owing to
Some Profit-Taking Strong Bank
Statement Is Received With.
Much Satisfaction.
NEW TORK, Dec. 21. There was a
dull, dragging market for stocks to
day, as has come to be the rule on
Saturday since the rule went into force
to postpone the publication of the bank
statement until after the close of the
Stock Exchange. The good impression
from yesterday's advance In prices
remained ' and there , was no severe
pressure on the market. Loans made
on Friday carry over until Monday, so
that there is no direct pressure on
borrowers on Saturday.
There was little disposition, however,
to make extensive commitments on the
long side in the face of the y'ear-ond
settlements in, the money market. The
routine operations are large In them
selves and anxiety is felt over the con
tinued apathy of the demand for Mer
cantile paper. The Improved position
of the banks, with the etill existent de
ficit In the legal reserve requirements,
and the large volume of outstanding
clearing-house certificates add to the
delicacy of the situation. Besides these
considerations, there are some large
installments of subscriptions to be met
for Northern Pacific and New York,
New Haven & Hartford new stock. In
the longer prospect are the recurring
maturities of the large issues of short
term notes which were issued on a
large scale during the past year by
many railroad and Industrial corpara
tions. ' The substantial repair In the bank
ing position, revealed by the weekly
bank statement, was received with
solid satisfaction. The generous in
crease in cash holdings was larger
than foreshadowed by the known
movements of money, and the calling
of loans proved large. Liquidation in
the stock, market has played its part
In the showing of this item, and the
return of advances made to tha trust
companies during the period of strain
has affected both the loan and cash
items. The condition of the Govern
ment finances is attracting Increasing
attention, owing to the heavy iecline
in revenues in the last two months, and
there is growing expectation of 'a call
on the banks for a rotu.-n of a portion
of the Government deposits held by
the banks.
There was some profit-taking in tbe
late stock market, and the closing tone
was Irregular. Bonds were steady.
Total sales, par value, 91,664,000.
United States bonds, were unchanged
on call during the week.

OLD MA105 BRQW FEWER
CEREMONY OP "ST. CATHER
INE'S CAP" NOW A JOKE,
At 2 5 an Unmarried Girl Puts on
This Cap With Much Fun and
daughter.
PARIS, Dec. 14. A quaint custom that
Is carried out in France was largely
celebrated in this city recently. On St.
Catherine's day it is the custom to draw
the line which divides the Jeune fille from
the vieill fille.
The age at which a woman is supposed
to close the gates on her premiere jeu
nesse is 25, and It is then on St. Cath
erine's day (November 25) that she puts
the first pin In her cap. At 30 she puts
the second and at 35 a 'third and last.-
After this, in the old days, she was
completely "on the shelf." Her family
treated her with little regard, and if she
did not go into a convent she sank at
once into middle age and boredom.
But femininism is rapidly changing all
that, and the cap of St Catherine has be
come more of a joke than anything else.
The midinettes of the Rue de la Paix
make it an excuse to rigoler (the French
slang for amusing oneself) and insist
that any girl In the workrooms who has
passed the age of 25 without being asked
in marriage shall put on a huge frilled
cap, which she must wear at the midday
meal taken in a restaurant.
To this function she is escorted by her
fellow workers, with much merriment,
and afterward they are Joined by the
young men of their acquaintance, who of
fer them petits noirs a deux soue
(penny cups of black coffee) and many
gallantries.
