Newspaper Page TextIt l THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIA PORTLAND FEBRUARY 16, 190S, SELLING TOO FUST Why Oregon .Onions Do Not Command Better Prices. COAST MARKETS DELUGED IMgliteen Curs Disposed Of by the Growers in l'nst Two Works. Only :5 6 Cars Arc Loft I'iimiIiI in tiie State. The free nmrkptingr of Orcjton pulon I" the p.ist two weeks has pre vented any advanco .in prices, such as cnul. J ho expected at this m'lison of tho yo.-tr. in view of the. excellent statisti nil position of the market. It is evi dent that had nales not been so liberal, pii.-es -would ha vi- worked higher in spite of tlie receipts of atoek from the Kast. The liberal selling, however has moved as murli or more than the mar ket could absorb, and, until the sup plies in deuleis' hands at Coast points are worked off. there is not likely to be improvement. Sales in tho past two weeks amounted to IS cars, and ai;cordiiiir to the returns niado at tlie regular meeting of the Con federated Union Orowers' . Association yesterday, there are left in the State un sold only Sfi ears of onions. At the rate thry have been moving since the lirst of tlie year, this supply will last only 30 days, and should selling be carried on as in tho past two weeks, there will be a considerable period before the arrival of rood new onions, when the markets will bo bare. Such a course would permit the new crop offerings from the South to come in on a very liifih market, a part of which sain might be realized by Oregon Prowers if they Jiave onions to offer at that time. Tho detailed reports made at the meet ing yesterday were as follows: From Cedar Mills, one ear was sold and shipped and one sent to Seattle -on consignment, leaving live cars unsold. Tualatin shipped two cars, one at iS0 and one at ji40, and live ears remain. Milwaukie has two ears left and shipped none. Four cars wore shipped from Beaverton, leav ing eight cars at that point. Cornelius shipped one-half a cur and lias but two t birds of a ear left. From Sherwood. 10 cars were sold and shipped and 10 ears remain unsold. Tho other sections are cleaned" out. - A wire received from San Francisco yes terday reported that market weakened s.omewhat by the heavy arrivals. Two cars of Eastern onions readied Seattle yesterday. Regarding tlie previous re ceipts of Eastern onions there, Powles & Co., write that one of the cars was over heated in transit and had to be repacked. APIM.K EXPORT SEASOJC NEARLY OVER Shlj ment Lair Than tn the Previous f tlSUQQ. The apple export season of 1907-08 will soon be. drawing to a close, says the New York Fruitmen's Guide. Apples shipped from this country to the United Kingdom in the early Spring months sometimes meet competition from Australian fruit, the movement of which begins about the time American apple shipments cease. All things considered, exports of American apples for the season of 1907-08 have run much heavier than expected. Owing to the phenomenal shortage in the 1!H)7 crop throughout many sections of the United States, particularly the West, it was believed there would toe relatively few apples available for export. How ever, the surplus in New York, New Eng land and Canada ran away ahead of ex pectations, the Pacific Coast States fur nished generous supplies, and thus, all told, plenty of fruit was available for foreign markets. No doubt the scarcity of money in the United States in the Fall and early Winter months had much to do with forcing down apple prices on this side he Atlantic, and consequently attracting the attention of export buyers, who itherwise would have had to keep out of the deal. Up to a late January date apple exports from the United States and Canada aggregated 1,821,000 barrels: tills is an increase of about 7T.000 barrels over the same period in 1906-07. British dealers say that' one great fault with American barreled fruit so far this season has been the largo proportion of No. 2 apples, which realized comparatively lower prices than larger sizes. Many com plaints have been niado of unsatisfactory packing. Prospects are more favorable now than for some weeks, and it Is be lieved the season will wind up better than expected, unless late shipments from the United States or Canada run heavy. No. 1 apples have been bringing $4.75 to. $5.75 per barrel at London and Liverpool; Ore gon apples, $i90 to $3.10 per four-tier box. WESTERN WOOLS IN EASTERN MARKET Supplies of Oregon Staple and Clothing- Are Much Kedured. According to the latest mail advices from Boston, supplies of Eastern Oregon staple and clothing wools are much re duced and no sales are announced. The demand is about as quiet as the sales are small. Quotations are entirely nominal, with 23c asked for staple tine. In territory wools, a good amount of clothing wools, including Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and a little of Montana, has been cleaneci up on the scobred basis of Tmc to 57c- for tine medium and fine. From 17c to 18c was paid for fine, in some in stances, and prices range up to 21e. It is asserted that fine Montana clothing has sold at 17c. Wools with any staple will bring 57c to 60e clean, and it is said that , good fine medium has sold to cost 60c. and that good fine will bring 65c. Most authorities, however, agree that nothing but strictly staple can be sold on a scoured basis higher than 60c. Small lots of medium have changed hands at 24c to atie, including about 10,01)0 pounds choice Wyoming at 26c. , OATS -SHIPPER TO THE EAST. several Thousand Ton Sold on This Account. Tlie shipment of oats to the East has begun under the new reduced freight rale which went into effect yesterday. Several thousand tons have already lcn sold for shipment to East ern points and inquiries are on hand for more. lealers In oats do not be lieve now that the Government will ask for bids on oats on this coast, but will buy for its Philippine requirements through dealers or agents at Manila. Shipments from Sound ports on this account are believed to have been al ready made. The local demand contin ues light. The wheat market was dull and unchanged yesterday. . A decline of 20 cents per barrel In export flour values was .announced yesterday. Local grades, it Is said, will be lowered from 5 to 15 cents per barrel Monday. PKVNK KKJKCTIOSS IS THE EAST. New York Jobbers Say They Did Not Act Without Cause. in regard to the rejections of Oregon -Italian prunes In the East, tho New York Journal of Commerce, of Febru-" arv 10. said: "East Side dealers, who are JMiion Uio largest buyers of. Oregon Italian prunes, are a good .deal exercised over J recent reports that they have made 1 wholesale rejections of deliveries on contracts without just; reason. While It is admitted that some of the smaller jobbers may have repudiated their pur chases when tlie time came to settle because they did not have the money to pay. the larger jobbers assert that in no inatanre did they decline to ac cept deliveries without cause. The fact that rejections were numerous Is not dented, but it Is stated that In all cases the question in dispute, usually turning on quality or short weight, -was referred to arbitration and that the de cision was invariably in favor of the buyer." AMERICAN CONSUMPTION OF II OPS. Important Omission in fiustave Pabsl's Brewers' Statistics. MT. VERNON. Wash.. Feb. 14. tTo the Editor.) In view of tlie variance among txperts a to l he normal consumption of hops in till, country. Mr. Knoney. for In stance. puttinK it at 2 40.000 bales.

JAMES POVK. i Kgc Movement sluggish. 'the egg market was very slow yes terday." Tho Puget Sound demand has practically ceased and local buyers take on no more than they need from day to day. In view of the Inactive movement, no change was made in prices. Only a little poultry came in and it cleaned up at the previous quotations. Chickens sold readily, but turkeys were very hard .to nove. The butter 'market was without change. Recent Hop Purchases. Two hop purchases by John Car michaol, for London shipment, were re ported yesterday. One was the Ranzau lot of 98 bales, at Grants Pass, and the other was a 58 -bale lot at the same place, for both of which be paid 5 H cents. T. A. Rlggs, of Monmouth, has secdred tlie D. B. Taylor lot of 483 bales, at Corvallis. for Btj cents. This Is one of the largest transactions reported in recent weeks. Slump in Taroma Egg Market.. TACOMA. Wash.. Feb.. 13. (.Special.)

The market la none too strong at present figures, and the dealers say they would not he surprised if eggs were still lower, next week.

But Surplus ltcserve Is Increased About $1.000.000 Loans and loposits Are Reduced. NEW YORK, Feb. 15. The Financier will say: The exhibit of averages for the Clear ing House banks showed tlie compara tively small decrease of $20.000 in cash. Deposits were reduced $5,075,400 and, hence, reserve requirements decreased $1, 268,850; deducting- therefrom tlie logs of cash left $1,018,050 as the Incraase in sur plus reserve to $30,850,225; loans decreased $4,507,500. The actual condition of the banks as recorded in the statement, showed small changes compared with the averages: loans were $500,000 less, specie $200,000 smaller, legal tenders $1,S99,999 greater and deposits $3.4CO.00O less. The statement of state banks and trust companies not reporting to the Clearing House showed an increase, compared with tlie previous week, of $3.5SS,50 loans, of $2,246,800 specie, and' of $3,952,800. deposits; legal tenders showed a decrease of $106, 200. Comparing the changes in these items, as shown by the Associated Banks, with those indicated by state banks and trust companies in this city, as herewith .given, it will be seen that contraction in loans by the former were offset by expan sions of $1,000,000 by the latter. The cash loss by the Associated Banks was offset by nearly $2,0u0,0o0 gain by state banks and trust companies, but the latter con tributed'by a gain only of $6,800,000 toward offsetting the loss in this item by the As sociated Banks. Eliminating, the Item of "due from other banks' and trust com panies" In New York City from the de posits of such bants and trust companies, the total of $620,332,900 is shown; adding this to the $1,132,300,100 of Cleaering House bank deposits shows a total of ll,7o2,642.XlO as the combined deposits of Clearing House and state banks and trust compa nies in tins city.

BEARS HELP THE DECLINE Most of the News of the ray Is In Their Favor Sigmificance of the X'cw York City Bond Sale. NEW YORK. Feb. 15. A keen desire to realize profits was clearly manifested in the -stock market today. Professional operators who boiwcht stocks yesterday on the early indications' of the success of the New York bnndi sale hastened to re sell today. The outside demand, attract ed by the bond sale, was not sufficient to absorb this selling, and prices gave way sharply.- The professionals turned to the bear side and helped, on the decline. Some of the items of tlje- day's news were in their favor. One was the decision to extend the rate of curtailment of the output of the Reading collieries, rejecting continued sluggishness in the market for that commodity. Another was the report put in circulation that an injunction had. been granted againstf the payment of the Southern yacitic dividend to the Union Paciflc interests as holders pi the stock. Statistics of railroad earnings for the first week of February indicated a broad ening of the margin" of decreasp from last year's- level, compared with the av erage of January earnings. i?ome of the specialties ' were again un der pressure of the special condition which had been a feature earlier in the week, and this had a sympathetic effect on the tone t the general list. The action of the market did not ma terially alter the conviction of the signifi cance of the New York City bond sale as an evidence of Improving health in the tinancial situation as a whole. The un precedented number of the individual bidders . and the gross amount of bids made for the issue is accepted as gratify ing evidence of the large amount of cap ital waiting investment on safe terms. The increase in the price realized for the issue also to 1.04, compared with 1.0263 for the previous September issue, must be accepted as proof of improvement in the investment situation. The bearing of the incident upon the general bomi market was much discussed, and opinions on that subject were tem pered by the extraneous influences, espe cially political, on the demand for the railroad securities on which Wall street lays much stress. Tlie general bond mar ket today was little Influenced by the New York City bon sales. The bank statement showed that what ever new. loans had been taken out in connection with the city bond sale were from the other banks1 anil trust compa nies, and not fronj clearing-house mem bers. The exhibit also gave an illustra tion of how the week's actual gam in cash' might be traced through the sup plementary statements of tlie actual con dition of clearing-house members on Fri day night, and that of other banks and trust companies, while the statement of the clearing-house presented an apparent decline in cash holdings. Bonds were steady and quiet. Total sales, par value, $2,378,000. United States 4s. registered, advanced per cent on call during the week. . CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.

Wheat opened easy on renewed selling by small houses, but prices soon rallied moder ately and throughout the-remainder of the daj- a firmer tone was manifested. Tlie chief reason for the improved tone was the strength of wheat at the lead lug European markets. A decrease In tho movement" of wheat In the South west, however. Induced some purchases. The market closed steady. May opened unchanged to c lower at 93io to 934e, sold at 9393'ic and then ad vanced to 93 74c. Tlie close was at 93 c. Corn was strong. Firm cables, small lortii receipts and unsettled weather In the corn belt were tho main factors. May opened HlnUc higher at 60j 60c; advanced to 61?c and closed-at 61V4c. ' Trade in oats was again ot very small volume. The market was firm in sympathy with, the strength of corn. A decrease In receipts duo to we weather also had, a bullish effect. May opened a shade higher at E2c, sold off to 24c to 42c, and then advanced to 53c. The close was 52?c. Provisions were rather weak early In the day, owing to freo selling of pork, by local iongs.
