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.

PRESSURE TO SELL
Absence of Demand Depress
ing Factor in Stocks.
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.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, $1,300,000.
United States) bonds were unchanged on
call during the week.

DENIES PART IN GRAFT
Carson Declares He Did Xot AVhite
nash Capitol Thieves.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8. 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.

TOLEDO, O., Feb. 8. In a communica

them: the ice men are permitted to go to
and from tho jailor's office at will and
use the telephone, and that rugs and
other articles are brought in to make the
cells of the ico men comfortable. The
prosecutor will investigate.

Extradition Papers for Embezzler

SAX DI'SGO, Cal., Feb. 8. Because the
extradition papers arrived six days after
the expiration of the period stipulated by
the treaty between the United States and
Mexico, that a prisoner may be held in
either country for the other, William F.
Walker, accused of embezzling $565,000
from a. New Britain, Conij., bank, and
now in jail at Ensenada, may secure his
Immediate freedom. Upon the technicality
thus developed, it is said Walker is pre
paring to put up a fight for liberty.

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

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
