INCREASE WAS EXPECTED Accounts for the Stagnant American Demand for Hops Market Is Sustained Only by Ex port Buying. Ths barrel ber tax return of ths In ternal Revenua .Bureau for October failed to snow th expected Increase in production of beer.

Increase. These fig urea ara itrren because of tha relation they bear to tha hop market. The Shrinkage In the business of the brewers, whether It Is dua to tne contraction In general business or to tha prohibition mote ment. Is having- lta effect In a lesaened de mand for OreRon hops. The bettor grades hold up in price, becaose there Is a good foreign outlet for them, but the lower grades, which can only bo sold in the do mestic market, are practically without buyers. As there Is more or less pressure to aril these medium qualities the result la a saKginic tendency In prices. Amonjr the business reported yesterday was the purchase by the K. C Horat Com pany of bales from Andrew Kan. grown nt the lirown Island yard, at 7Si cents. Hor-u also bought the Gong lots at Balem, r-.iy:n 7s. cents tor 90 bales and 7 or 7 c-nts for "0 bales. J. C. Buchannan. of ,, melius. Is reported to have sold his crop of 243 bales of choice, but the name of the buyer or the price was not known lo cally. There waa much discussion eorl cernlnc the necent MeLauKhlln sale at In dependence and It was believed by some of the dealers bore that a part of the lot went to Louts Lachmond for P. R. O. Ilorst. This, and rumors of selling by soma of the Salem dealers, who wers recently on tlm bull side of the market, comprised tha bulk of the local market news. OREGON- WOOLS ARE STRONGER. T-rlrre In the East Have an Tpward Ten dency. All Oregon wools now remaining at Bos ton, according to the latest mall advices, are sta.1My becoming stronger In value. A few additional transfers of Eastern staples are reported, which were accomplished at 19 to 20 cents or it to 0 cents clean. Val ley wools are in small supply, while prices are firm. In territories, the ssles of the past we-ek were most substantial In the aggregate, with practically all kinds Involved In the tran sactions. Montana. Idaho. "Wyoming. Ne vada. Dakota and Utah fleeons are moving. 6taple woola are naturally In active de mand, but dealers are becoming stronger In regard to values. Fine staple Montana Is lllng at It to 11 oents. with 13 cents asked in soma houses. Tha scoured cost rone as high as CI eenta A line of original Idaho wools, amounting to about 100.000 pounds, was sold at 16 1 to 17 oenta Fine medium Utah Is brisling It cents In the grease or 60 to &S centa clean, on which trasla SO. 000 pounds were disposed of. A few transactions sra reported In medium Pakotae at 11 to 13 eenta Wyoming me dium wools are estimated to be worth the same price. Half blood Montana Is In re Quest at 23 to 24 cents or about 6S to B7 vents clean. Nevada clothing Is having a srood call, also on a basis of 1 to 17 oents or 65 cents scoured. TOO MANY APPLES ARB COMING. Market Swamped with Receipts From All Quarters. Receipts of apples continue on a large acale. In fact tha market is swamped with them, as the demand Is entirely inadequate to absorb the large quantity arriving. Prices re weak at 75 centa to $1-50, very little e!ng held at a higher price. Th cranberry market Is firm, though buying at ths moment Is light. Ths beet re held at 511 50 per barrel. Tha eeeond Installment received cost 50 centa per bar est more than the first lot. There will be plenty of oranges in ths market thla week, as' six cars are known to be rolling. A car of Emperor grapes rame In yesterday. Tha demand for grapea now Is lleht. live cars of bananas are ctie tomorrow. Celery Is the most active article In the egetaMe list, the Los Anpelea car lately arrived being well cleaned up. A shipment of fancy California tomatoes was received yesterday and otfore.1 at Sl.5031.7a per crats. OR ArV MARKET ARE Ql'l FT. Two Hundred Tons Barley Ml at Mer chant' Exchange, at Fair Price.

OPERATORS ARE CAUTIOUS Distrust of the General Speculative PbsitJoii In View of the High Tjeyrel of Prices Foreign Exchanges Nervous. NEW TORK, Nov. 2!. Thers was a spotty show of strength in today's stock market in a number of stocks not usuairy offering the moat promlnenoe. Speculative rumors were the material of tha operators who bought and bid up these, atocka Many were in repetition of those heard yesterday and there were rather feverish fluctuations In some of the stocks, wtilch had moved In response to suvh ru mors 3asterdey. Hasty sales to realise wers disquieting rather than reassuring. The arudclai appearance of the advances de prived them of convincing force and the usual favorite mediums for trading opera tions were Inclined to depression. The Harrlman Paolflcs, -Reading. United States Steel. Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting dropped to lower levels. Ths movement of these stocks determined ths undertone of tho whole market. Their docllno was based on doubts over tha gen eral speculation position, owing to the high level of prices, ths prospective capital re quirements In the form of new Issues, and the under-current of uneasiness over the Kuropean political situation. Foreign sales of securities here were large. Tho discrepances between tho weekly statement of banking averages and the actual condition were unusually wide, es pecially In the cash Item. Ths gain of $1, 867,700 indicated by tha averages com pared with a decrease of $4,000,000 in the actual condition. The average daily loans have expanded only $7,764,000, while the actual Increase In, that item was $10,340,700 and this was supplemented by a loan In crease of S5.S84.SS0 In loans by other banks. The most important operations of the week seem to have affected this Item largely. The shrinkage In the surplus, 14k the average while but SI, 468. 975, reaches the substantial figure of $6,617,225 in the actual showing, the fTect of the latter being thus deferred for later statements of the average. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,668,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week. CLOSINO STOCK. QUOTATIONS. , Closisg Sales. High. Low. Bid.

While the produce and grain markets were dull today there was a considerable read justment of prices. Buying prices of eggs were shoved up to 48 and 50 centa for the best stock. A flat quotation of 22 cents waa made on live turkeys. Cranberries were put up 60 cents, making the spread from $12.60 to $13.50. Seattle commission men are overstocked on onions. The demand is not as active as It usually Is At this time of the year and although prices ana low. all efforts to put j them, up have thus rar oeen unavailing. The very top price for the beat stock is $1.25 per sack, with many good onions going as low as $1. There la no improvement In tha potato situation. Seattle dealers are determined that Washington shippers will not hold them up and until they show a disposition to let go of their potatoes at what they consider a fair price, they state they will continue to bring In California stock.

That Wallowa County has a big legal battle on Its hands Is evident from the appeals of three of the kls timber com panies holding large tracts of timber lands In Wallowa County, from the ac tion f the Wallowa County Board of Equalization in the matter of assess ment of the timber lands. The compa nies which have filed their notices of ap peal to the Circuit Court are tha Cros sett Timber Company, the Grand Ronde Lumber Company and the George Palmer Lumber Company, all of La Grande, and all represented by eminent legal talent. The Assessor of Wallowa County this year assessed each quarter section of timber land at $1000, regardless of loca tion or of condition. Two of the com panies admit their lands are worth more on the market, but claim to be discrim inated against by a large per cent In comparison with the ratio of assessment of farm lands in the county to their true value, as shown by the prices at which the farm lands were actually sold. That the county expects to make some thing of the sworn admission of the two companies as to the value of their timber holdings being in excess of the amount for which they are assessed is evident from the order made by the Board on advice of the Deputy District Attorney. The other company alleges discrimina tion, but admits nothing. The county's Interests will be handled by F. S. Ivan hoe, District Attorney for the Tenth Dis trict, and Colon R. Eberhard, Deputy for Wallowa County, neither of whom an nounce what defense will be made, other ftian that the law requires assessments to be made at their true cash value. The cases will come up In January before Judge Knowles, and undoubtedly will go to the Supreme Court ultimately. ROOSEVELT SENDS ARTICLE . Contributes to Outlook on Chinese Situation. "NEW YORK, Nov. 28. The current issue of the Outlook contains an arti cle by President Roosevelt on the "Awakening of China," although Mr. Roosevelt will not become an asso ciate and advisory editor of the maga zine until after he retires from office. In the article Mr. Roosevelt, after speaking of the Christian influence which is being exerted in China, says: "The awakening of China is one of the great events of our age, and the remedy for the 'Yellow Peril.' what ever that may be. Is not repression of life, but the cultivation and direction of life. Here at home we believe that the remedy for popular discontent is not repression, but justice and educa tion. "Similarly the best way to avert pos sible peril, commercial or military, from the great Chinese people. Is. by behaving righteously toward them, and by striving to inspire a righteous life among them. Our Christian missions have for their object not only the sav ing of souls, but the imparting of a life that makes possible the kingdom of God upon earth.
