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

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

TOO MANY APPLES ARB COMING.

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

e!ng held at a higher price.
Th cranberry market Is firm, though
buying at ths moment Is light. Ths beet

LEADEBS ARE WEAK
Artificial Strength Imparted to
Minor Stocks.
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.

dence by 00m mission houses?, but offerings
dnrlns; tho first part of the day were meaner,
which resulted In a further slight advance
In all deliveries. Ths demand was based
mainly on a decided falling off in the move
ment, especially In the Northwest. Weather
conditions In this country had a bearish In
fluence late In the session. Rains were re
ported In ths-SouthwesJ and official pre
dictions wers for more rsJn tonlsht and to-,

from tho high point of the day. The close
was easy, with prices a shade higher to a
shade lower, final quotations on December
being at 1.03S'1.03?i and on May at

SEATTLE PRODUCE CEX GET ON
. A NEW BASIS.
Begin by lifting the Egg Market.
Ovcrsupply of Onions
and Potatoes.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 28. (Special.)
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.
A few live hens and Springs ana being
carried over. Prices are unchanged, how
ever. Wheat was dull, but there was an aative
tone In flour. Heavy shipments are await
ing vessels. ...
Hides ana very active; sales have bean
made this week at 9 cents.
TIMBER OWNERS OBJECT
Three La Grande Companies Fight
Assessments In Wallowa Connty.
JOSEPH. Or., Nov. 28. (Special.)
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.
"As Bishop Brent has said, now is
the time for the West to implant its
ideals in the Orient, and in such a
fashion as to minimize the chance of
a dreadful future clash between two
radically different and hostile civiliza
tions; if we wait until tomorrow we may
find that we have waited too long."
- Chinese and Robbers In Fight.
RENO, Nev., Nov. 28. Bullets flew
thick and fast In Chinatown last night
when the entire Chinese quarter turned
out and shot at two hammer men who
broke into the store of Tom Loo, the old
est and wealthiest Chinaman In Reno,
and tried to baat him to death with ham
mers. His cries brought aid, but the as
saillants escaped. Their motive was prob
ably robbery. They are believed to be
long to the gang that cracked a drugstore
safe Wednesday night, securing 400, and
robbed a clothing store last week of fciOOO
worth of furs. .
