Market Excited by Sharp Rise
at San Francisco.
GROWERS REFUSE TO SELL
Bay City Price Advances to $8.25
and Ijocal Buyers Bid lp Sharply,
but Without Success East
ern Shipments Frozen.
Great excitement prevailed in the onion
market yesterday. Early in the day
telegrams began arriving telling of the
strength of the Sjan Francisco market,
and when business was fairly under way
in the Bay City, prices began to advance
sharply until a quotation of 3.O03.26 was
reached. The practically bare condition
of the market was the causa of the flurry.
With prices advancing In San Fran
cisco, buyers here began scurrying around
In the attempt to get- their hands on
what they could, but without result. Bids
of $2.50 were freely made to growers. The
latter, however, were firmer than ever in
their position, and so far as could be
learned, no lots changed hands. It Is
doubtful whether an advance of even 60
cents would have brought any stock on
the market.
This bulge In onions has long been an
ticipated by careful observers of the mar
ket, but Its appearance was delayed first
by the money troubles of the early part
of "Winter, and then by the movement of
a quantity of Eastern onions to the Coast.
The latter has not proved the serious
factor that it threatened to be, and now
that the financial disturbance has passed
over, the market has asserted Itself In
response to Its strong statistical position.
Eastern onions, which began arriving at
San Francisco In December, are still com
ing along, but It is announced that the
last shipment to arrive was frozen in
transit and occasioned serious loss to the
shippers.
So far as can be foreseen nothing of
a serious' nature Is likely to disturb the
m.lrol fnr tViA TIPVt if dLV. UnleSS It
should be the presence of too many Japa
nese onions. Some lots will be imported
nextmonth for the local and the Alaska
trade, but they cannot be landed here
cheaply enough seriously to compete with
the Valley product, and It is yet to be
seen what condition they will show on de
livery. Australian onions will not ar
rive in quantity before April 1, and it will
be April 15 before Bermudas are here.
As onljs 75 cars of onions remain in Ore
gon, fio of them in first hands, it can be
readily seen that the market should be
able to take care of. Itself, with very
profitable returns to the growers, until
they are disposed of.
TRADING IX HOP MARKET.
Heavy Purchium by C. I Fltehard The
1'nlout Movement.
C. I.. Fichard, of Independence, has
bought heavily in the Polk County hop
sections recently, his total purchases
amounting to 71S bales. Mr. Fichard
has already shipped 2258 bales direct
to brewers and nds them well pleased
with Oregon hops. He expects to be
In the market again in a few days
for more-choice goods. Among the lots
he. has bought in the last few days
were the following: 436 bales from
W. W. Percival at 7c; 90 bales from
George Whlteaker at V4c, and 192
Dales . i idiii ivicv-urmicK oc uuiiun it l
6,c. Of the Percival hops 251 bales
were shipped direct to England and
185 bales to Eastern brewers. The
Whlteaker lot was also sent to East
ern brewers.
A start has been made toward collect
ing statistics of the unsold stocks In the
state, and until the work is completed the
trade in general will be In the dark, not
only as to what Is left, but also in regard
to the sire of last year's crop. Dealers'
estimates range from 26.000 to 40.000 bales
of unsold 1907's In Oregon. Some sections
have been almost entirely cleaned out,
while others are almost untouched. A
Hat of the Polk County holding figures
ut 3000 'bales, while it is said there are
1.00rt bales In first hands In Marlon
County. The supply In California is esti
mated at 28,000 bales and In Washington
at 5OU0 bales, making a total supply of
from 58,000 to 73.000 bales of lost year's
crop on the Coast.
Interest In the Hop Growers' Union
has been kept up by a number of meet
ings during the week In different parts
of the state, and work along the same
lines Is being carried on In Washington.
Early In the week the Yakima growers
will have a meeting to complete their or
ganization, and on February 1, the West
ern Washington growers will meet at
Puyallup. The California organizers con
tinue to line up the growers of the South
ern state. Meetings for this purpose were
hold In Uklah Friday and In Santa Rosa
yesterday. It la understood the California
committeemen will pay another visit to
Oregon and Washington in the coming
week.
Conrad Krebs presided at a lively meet
ing held In Hillsboro yesterday, at which
a number of new members of the union
were secured.
"We are now tabulating the returns,"
said Mr. Krebs on his return to Port
land last night, "and will soon know
just where we stand. If we have not
enough growers pledged to make the
union a go. we will let the growers know
It and call the whole thing off. How
ever. I believe we will succeed In our
plans. In the McMinnvllle and Dayton
sections 93 per cent of the acreage has
been signed up and 90 per cent is secured
In the Silver-ton and Mount Angel sec.
tlons. Our statistics will show where
are the weakest part of the state, and
we will devote our energies to those sec
tions." At a meeting in Sacramento a few days
ago it was announced that 75 per cent of
the growers in and around Sacramento
had signed the by-laws. Joseph Grace,
a brewer and hopgrower of Sonoma
County, was present at the meeting and
at the request of Chairman Lovdal stated
the position of the brewer In regard to
the organization. He said it is to the in
terest of the brewer to "see that hops in
his community sell for a good price, be
cause If the people do not make money
he will be unable to sell beer. He said
he thinks the brewers, whom he declared
fair-minded people, are willing hops shall
be sold at a fair price, between 10 and 30
cents per pound. He added that if the
organization Is not effected the hop
Krowlng business will become a case of
the survival of the Attest and the small
grower will be squeezed out of existence
by his brothers who can stand a longer
period of low prices.

c.vijrxmxiA rortm ox market
Shipment of IJve Broilers Received From
Pe-taluma,
The strongest demand at present In
the poultry market is for broilers, and
as this class of fowls Is practically
unobtainable in the local territory, a
Front-street firm yesterday brought up
4 shipment from, FeL&luma, Cal, They
ara of- the White Leghorn variety.
weighing one to two pounds each, and
were quoted to the trade at J 7:50 per
dozen. Other kinds of poultry was
in light supply and moved at former
prices.
Eggs were sluggish and weak at the
previous range of quotations. One
large dealer announced his intention
of cutting to 25 cents flat Monday
morning. Only the coming of cold
weather can prevent a general slump
In the market.
Butter moved slowly with a weak
tone reported from all quarters. The
large quantity of outside creamery but
ter accumulated on Front street Is the
depressing factor. . Prices were not
changed during the day, but may be
lower in the coming week.
WHEAT QUIET AND UNCHANGED.
Export Floor Market Doll, but Domestic
Trade Good. -
The local wheat market is very weak
but no lower. Only a few purchases
are reported by the local trade.
A condition, of stagnation still pre
vails in the export flour market, but
shippers are-hoping for a revival of
Interest soon. They figure that the
Japanese have about exhausted their
stock of native wheat, and will soon
be compelled to come to this Coast to
replenish their flour supply. ' The local
flour trade continues fairly good and
previous prices are fully maintained.
Even if It should be necessary to drop
the export quotation In order to stim
ulate Oriental buying, It is not likely
that local values will be aftectad.
Business in both oats and barley Is
of small proportions. Reports from
the Valley Indicate., that farmers are
very firm holders.
PLENTY OF ORANGES ARE COMING.
Fourteen or Fifteen Cars Will Arrive This
Week.
There will be no orange famine in
this market for some time to come, as
the trade is fully- supplied now and
14 or 15 cars more will arrive next
week. Of the four cars of consigned
oranges on the market Friday, two
were sent to Northwestern points. In
spite of the large supply in sight,
steady prices . are expected. Jobbers
are providing themselves with large
sizs for the Chinese New Tear trade.
Grape fruit is scarce and firm. Three
cars of bananas are due next Wednes
day, "
Good celery Is in light supply, but
the town is full of poor stuff. The off
grade car that came In Friday was
turned down here and sent to the
Sound.

ber of additional signers to the by-laws

buyers was set forth in numerous speeches.

A Chance to Make Money.
Having read of many lucky experiences
In Mexican mines, I visited Oaxaca to
see for myself. The richness of their,
mines Is certainly wonderful. The -thousands
of tons of rich ore, visible la so
many mines, will give any person the
gold fever -who visits that district. I had
no idea of investing when I visited Mex
ico, but I bought 3000 shares in the Zava
leta and Soledad mines, and have already
been offered twice what I paid for. my
stock. A friend who Invested $30 sold
his stock in ess than three months for
$150. Don't Invest in a prospect, even If
the stock Is cheap, unless you expect to
lose. Invest In a mine . where at least
5000 feet of work has been done and not
less than 20.000 tons of ore sold at a fair
profit. In such a mine you are sure to
make money. For safe advice regarding
Mexican mines address the Plttsburg
Oaxaca Mining Co.. block 1323, Pittsburg.
Pa, You can rely on their statements and
can make money quirk and sure.

NARROW AND DULL
No
Developments to Stimulate
Speculative Activity.
MARKET IS A WAITING ONE
Accumulation of Fonda at New York
No Longer a F'actor. Bank State-
xnent
Proves Favorable, '
Was Expected.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25, There" were no
new occurrences of sufficient importance
to prompt large new operations in stocks
on either side -of the market today and
the dull business and narrow fluctuations
were the consequence. The piling up of
bank reserves has spent .is force as an
Influence in stimulating speculative buy.
inc of stocks, and the assumption was
that the banks would show another large
gain la cash holdings, although the state
ment was not published until after the
close of the market and was not an Im
portant factor in the market, '
The reduction of the official discount
rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany
was not likely to prove of much Influence
in the market after the small attention
excited by the reductions in the English
and French bank rates earlier in the
week.
The waiting attitude of the market it
attributed In part to the desire to see the
quarterly report of the United States
Steel Corporation, to be presented atlbe
meeting of the directors next Tuesday.
The expectation that the Government's
Intentions concerning the prosecution of
the Harrlmah railroad merger would be
formally announced at' Washington was
another repressive Influence on activity.
Northern Pacific showed some -special
strength, but prices fell off near the close.
The bank statement proved similar to
the one of the week preceding and the
copious replenishment of banking facili
ties disclosed amnly bore out the predic
tion of the growing plethora of me local
money supplies.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value
$1,792,000. United States 2s declfned H
and the 4s registered per cent on call
during the week.

WHEAT IS WEAK ALL DAY
HIGHER CABLES IGNORED IN
CHICAGO MARKET.
Prediction of Larger Shipments in
Coming Week Is the Principal
: Depressing Factor.
CHICAGO. Jan. 25. The wheat mar
ket opened weak despite the fact that
Liverpool reported higher prices. The
bearish sentiment increased as the day
advanced and the market was weak
from start to finish. The chief de
pressing factor was the prediction that
for the coming week the shipments
would be 2,000,000 bushels more than
for the corresponding week of last
year. The running up of the Argen
tine shipments for the week to more
than 1.400,000 bushels from 612,000 in
the preceding week, wan also a strong
bear influence. May wreat opened un
changed at $1.02, sold between $1.00
and $1.02 and closed at $1.00.
The corn market was relatively
stronger tnan wneat,.but the market
sold off In sympathy with wheat and
was genejglly weak thVoughout the
day. May opened 'c to c lower to
a shade higher at 61c to 61-s. sold
as low as b0o and closed at 61 "4c to
lc
The oats market was dull all day
and prices slumped off chiefly because
of the decline in wheat and corn. May
oats opened e lower at 54 c, sold
between 54c. and 53c, and closed at
63o.
The provision market was 'firm at
the opening because of decreased re
ceipts of live hogs at Western pack
ing centers. At the close, May pork
was 20c lower; lard was 6c to 7Ho
lower and fids were 7c lower.

ders amounting to $23,673,900, which
makes the gain in cash during the two
weeks past approximately $oO,000,000.
Ths effect of this enormous -fish ex

York banks a surplus reserve of $37.
061,500, which is actually greater than
the reserve shown in any single week
since September 10, 1904. The money
gain is coming for the most part rrom
the interior, although the driit into
banks of local funds which were hoard
ed during the panic Is still apparent.
Deposits are now higher than since
June last. Government deposits in the
New York banks stand at $69, 608,400,
the decrease for the week having been
$2,418,700. Since the middle of No
