Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 9, 1908. Ill FOR EUROPE Future Wheat Market Depends on Foreign Conditions. INFLUENCE OF ARGENTINA No Kcsiiiitption or Activity Here fiiti! PrUrs at Mverpool Im prove ;mI Movement In tlic Produce Market. Thi lack of improvement in the foreign (train markets prevents the resumption of buying on a free scale in the Pacific Northwest. By far the larger part of the wheat crou lias already been sold but enoug'li remains in farmers' hands to mtike an active market for several months, if buyers could see their way to operate and sellers were disposed to let 0. The European markets have for some lime past felt the effect of the heavy Khipments from Argentina though the fluctuations in prices there in the. last few days would Indicate that the down ward course of values has been cheeked. This has "given a rather steadier feelinff to the local market, but that is about all the improvement that can be noted. Quo tations wero unchanged yesterday. In their latent circular F. Lenders & Co.. of London, say of the wheat situa tion: "Tho future of the International mar ket is, so far as we can see, largely bound up In that of North America, it is needless to say that the manner , in which shipments have been made throughout the autumn has upset the cal culations of those who were reckoning on shortage, owing to the reported de ficiency In last year's crop, and "who had relied on a gap existing in Europe before the new Plates could arrive in quantity. "It must be admitted that in other re spects the calculations have been fairly correct. As regards the continental" re quirements, it is true that the distribu tion has not quite borne out the .earlier forecasts, but the season is only half through, and it would hardly be fair to tke the month of December with its ex treme money scarcity as indicative of the full period, so that it will be Impossible to say. whether the estimates were too high, and by how much, until the season is at an end. "It was quite expected that by this time North America would have felt the effect of the huge shipments which have taken place for several months back, and we are forced to the conclusion that either the hist crop was underestimated, or else that reserves of previous crops had been carried over of whose existence no body In America seemed to have the least suspicion. "It is, moreover.' becoming increasingly evident that if the.se lar;re shipments con tinue, not only will there be no reason for any advance in prices, but it will be rather difficult even to maintain the pres ent level. It may be urged that it would be an absolute impossibility for North America to keep up the rate of shipments, which will be required to till the demands of European and ex-European countries, for the remainder of the cereal year, but we are not thinking so much of what the position may be in July as what it Is likely to be In tho Immediate future, and we have yet to see' any evidence of a ma terial falling off in North American sup plies which would lead us to believe that the, exporting capacity was approaching exhaustion. "We shall very soon see the Argentine shipments begin in real earnest, and these, coupled with North American sup plies and the smaller contributions of other exporters, will be quite sufficient for European requirements, even allow ing for an increase in the distribution ow ing to easier money conditions." K'; UfcH HOP TRADE BKVIEWEI. Price During l-at Year Were in Buyers Favor. The Ixindon Brewers' Journal, in its annual review of the hop trade of Eng land, said in part: "Brewers during 1S07 have thus been enabled to operate on terms very favor able to themselves, as there has always been an abundant supply of hops avail able, at low and cheap rates. The de mand, however, has seldom approached anything like activity, which is no mat ter for surprise considering that brewers so fully stocked themselves with nittivc growth hops from the abnormally large crop of 1905, that many of them have had supplies on hand sufficiently large to hist between one and two years. Ever since these large purchases wero effected there has been great disinclination on the part of buyers to stock, and until these quantities have been worked off there appears slight prospects of the demand improving. "The erop was later than usual, but the yield In quantity is more than enough to satisfy all requirements. A larKe propor tion of the crop consisted of inferior and Immature samples, while the quantity of really choice qualities was comparatively small. When flrst offered, the new Eng lish hops were rather freely taken at stiffening rates, but the rush to buy was soon over, and as brewers were still V.oldlng stocks of unused yearlings and older hops, the market quickly relapsed into a state of inactivity, which has since continued to prevail. "The unsatisfactory state of business generally, notwithstanding the much vaunted increase In the national: trade re turns, has had far-rearhing consequences on both buyers and sellers, while the high bank rate of 7 per cent, which remained in force for some weeks in the closing part of 1907, penalized trade and industry throughout the country The subsequent reduction of the bank rate, with the prob ability of a still further decline, relieves the general commercial atmosphere to some extent, and it is to be hoped that affairs all round will now take a turn for tVie better. It is believed that prices 1ihv touched bottom, but no materia! i hunge is anticipated from the present rung-. Any upward movement that may take place is expected to be of minor im portance." BOX APP1.KS IS THE LONDON MARKET Value Are Expected to Advance From Now On. The weekly apple letter of W. Dennis Sons, of London, says: "There is practically no change to record in the apple situation today, as compared with that ruling at this time last week. The demand for large Nx. 1 fruit is a very active one at full prices: that is to say, Baldwins. Greenings and Spies all in the neighborhood of ids, and No 1 Golden Russetts about this price. There Is, however, a very wide margin of prices between No. 1 and No. 2 fruit Most of the fruit that is here has to come under the description of 'smal' Nearly all the Nova Scotian fruit answers to this description and much also oi- what is coming from Ontario, so that on goods of this class the market has no chance to right Itself and keeps in about the same position. "Box fruit is doing a little better and will, wo think, now continue to advance gradually In price. "There is an urgent demand here for pears, and during tjio past week, for the few pears that have been on the market, quite phenomenal prices havo been ob tainable. -for No. 1 bright stock Baldwins, Greenings and Spies there is a ready mar ket at satisfactory prices." Smaller Crop of Oiire Oil. Reports from Southern Europe are to the effect that the expectations of a large crop of olive oil are not oeine verilied. Prices on the liner grades nave unex pectedly advanced. The very small quan tities coming into the market of tine new oil are eagerly taken up by packers, who have orders on hand which they have been unable to fill. An importer says: "Our producers rather expect that when the. first pressing demand is over prices will show a downward tendency, but it is hard to tell whether their hopes will be realized. The demand for pure olive oil has increased greatly since the new pure food law has gone into effect. The trade in general will now insist upon getting pure olive oil instead of taking mixed oils, as in the past. The trade in general and the public look for puro goods now." More Hood River Apple Arrive. Several shipments of Hood River apples, aggregating a carload, arrived yester day. A car of Grand Ronde apples, which was due, failed to get in. The apple trade is in good shape, with a ready demand, but principally for the cheaper varieties. A car of oranges, two cars of cauliflower and one of celery also arrived. Both cauliflower and celery were in strong de mand and sold well as firm prices. A car of grapefruit is rolling. Egg Prices Are Declining. Country produce of all kinds dragged. Eggs were in good supply, but buyers took no more than they absolutely re quired, and some sales as low as 23"jic were reported. Poultry cleaned up, but there was not much of it, and prices were unchanged. Butter is moving off in a way satisfac tory to' the city creameries, but Front street is still oversupplied.

Weekly Statement of the "w Vork ' Clearing-House Arranged on New Lines. NEW YORK, Feb. 8. The Financier will say: y ' Saturday's official statement of the New York associated banks was the first exhibit ever made by such in stitutions which showed, in addition to the averages of the various items dur- ing the week, the actual condition of the banks as regards such items at the end of the bank week. The bank statement likewise shows what also lias never been disclosed before the summary of the condition of trust companies ancr state banks, which do not make reports of their condition through the clearing-house. Such statement will enable the public to be informed of the condition of all the financial institutions as respects loans, specie, legal tenders and deposits. The statement of the associated banks for the week showed, as tho most striking feature, a decrease of $10,973,800 in cash. This loss could not be reconciled with the traceable movements of money during- the week; neither could It be accounted for by the withdrawals of public deposits, for such withdrawals amounted to only $1,333,333. compared with the previous week. The most reasonable explana tion of the discrepancy between the estimated gain in cash and tho officially-reported loss is that the trust companies, in order to make a good exhibit, had withdrawn cash from the bunks in which they kept their de posits. The statement shows that the banks hold $29,832,175 more than the require ments of the 25 per cent reserve rule. This is a decrease of $10,694,550 in the I proportionate cash reserve as com pared with last week. The statement follows: Loans $1,130,755,700 $ 5.30.6o0 leposlt! 1,1X7.3X4.5(1') 1.1I7,0"0 Circulation 67.:t!H,5oO 1S72 21K) Legal tenders Mu.01i7.uoo C..!)15.,"kH Specie 254.

DULL PERIOD LOOKED FOR All the News of the Bay Xot t'nfa Torablo Railway Earnings Make Better Showing Some Buying of Steel Kails. NEW YORK, Feb. S. There was noth ing striking in tho news today to account for tho increase of selling pressure in the 6tock market. The movement was rather tho cumulative effect of the feeling- of discouragement that has grown up dur ing tho week as to any prospect, for an early revival of a widespred demand for securities, such as can only form the proper basis for successful speculative operations. A considerable period of dullness and neglect of the stock market is the clearly expressed anticipation heard among ha bitual operators and voiced in the action of the market. There is the apprehension also of possible delay in the revival of industrial activity in the country. Sundry items of information which ap peared today were of a more cheerful complexion on this subject than has been the recent rule, but their purport was ig nored in the movement of prices. The placing bf orders for steel rails by some of the railroad companies, following the determination of the new type of rail, promised some revival of that important industry, and the president of the United States Steel Corporation imparted the in formation that it was now operating at between 45 ami 50 per cent of its usual production, compared with only 36 per cent of its capacity at the low tide in the middle of December. The ratio of decrease in gross earnings of railroads reporting for the later weeks of January shows a less favorable com parison with last year's corresponding period than in earlier stages of the con traction, giving ground for an inference of betterment in that field of enterprise. There was an inclination to look for spe cial causes for some of the. weakness to da. The complexion of the bank statement, when it appeared after the market closed, was seen to be affected by the prepara tion of the trust companies for their in clusion this week for the first time In he public statement of conditions. Evidently the trust companies have drawn on their banking neighbors freely to replenish their cash, showing a decrease in bank cash of nearly $11,000,000, compared with an indicated gain from the known move ments of money of between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, which, with the '8 per cent re serve held by the trust companies, will be significant only for future comparisons. It is interesting to note that the actual percentage of reserve of 27.70 per cent of the clearing-house members compares with a percentage of 27.62 per cent in the computation by averages, thus proving that the latter understated rather than overstated, the actual condition on this occasion.

Hampton L. Carson, ex-Attorney-Geiieral of Penn sylvania,' whose name, along with that of Governor Pennypacker, was yester day brought into the stale capitol con spiracy cases, now on trial at Harris burg, today made emphatic denial that he was in any way connected with an allegred "whitewash" of persons accused of committing frauds in the building: or furnishing; of the capitol. Four months ago, Mr. Carson, while Attorney-General, was directed by Gov ernor Pennypacker to investigate the charges of fraud. During Tils inquiry he received written statements from all the men accused, denying the charges of irregularities. During cross-examination yesterday, Stanford B. Lewis, assistant to Architect Huston, testitii d in effect that Huston's reply to the Attorney-General was practically framed at a conference at which Governor Pennypacker, Attorney-General Car son, Auditor-General Snyder and Lewis were present. Lewis said the letter was so framed that it would dovetail in with replies of other state officials to the Attorney General. Ex-Governor Pennypacker declines to discuss the case.

MOST OF NEWS BEARISH AVorld's Shipments Greatly in Ex cess of Weekly Requirements Ke . port of Northwest Stocks Has Xo Effect. CHICAGO, Feb. 8. The decline of penny in Liverpool, unlooked for consid ering the strengtli which prevailed here during the previous session, and which was reflected in the opening quotations on the Chicago Grain Exchange, was fol lowed by repots that supplies for do mestic and ftfl-eign consumption were plentiful. Australia was shown to have shipped 445,000 bushels more than during the preceding week and the world's ship ments, estimated at 11,600,000 bushels, were regarded as greatly in excess of the weekly requirements. The opposing in fluence of smaller Canadian and North western reserves in the estimates for the coining week failed to rescue the market from the lower level. May wheat was off 'Vi&iiG at tho opening, advanced to 9Sc, and was later forced back to c by the weight of offerings. The close was weak at DTUc. Corn was lower, but the market exhibit ed a degree of steadiness in view of the weakness in wheat. There was consid erable week-end profit-taking and trad ing was without feature. May opened Vc lower at 61fplc, advanced to 61vi iS61c and declined later to 61t51c The close was easy at 61c Oats were dull and neglected. May started He lower at 54Hc ranged between and 64?ic and closed at 54c. Provisions displayed some strength on account of a small run of hogs. May pork opened at $12 0Or,fi2.C6, advanced to $12.20 and closed at $12.02Vi12.05, a gain of 2Vj 3c. Lard advanced from $7.55, the opening quotation, to $7.6214 and closed a shade higher at $7.5247.55. Ribs were up 2',2'fiCc at 6.57'. The leading futures ranged as follow : WHEAT. Open. High. Low.
