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. It is to
be rcsr.;tted that Mr. Pabst did not throw
some di'-tlnit llclit on the matter in hU
recent anrt-prolllbitloti literature, which ar-
reared In your paper of The !Kh. Mr.

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.

and the dealers say they would not he

WEEKLY STATEMENT SHOWS A
8L1UHT DECREASE IX CAS1I.
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.

SELL FOR PROFITS
With Small Demand, Stock
Prices Give Way Sharply.
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.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15. 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
