TtiK SXTSDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 6. 1903. i OUTLOOK IS BETTER Oregon Onion Market Is Looking Up. REPORTS ARE FAVORABLE Growers Xo Longer Fear California Competition In the Xoriwest. All Grains Arc Firm. Hops Are Weak. The or, Jniri -Ifflwrr of this state have no rwasnn tn feel discouraged over th market outlook, according to the opinions expressed at ths meeting of the Confederated Onion- Orowtrw' Association yesterday. While, prices ar. not expected to advance before the first ef the Tear, there U a good chanoe for vaiuea Improving before the first month of the rear a. well along. The lane crop In California does not cause) the apprehenelon It d!a torn time ago. aa tt la now known the California onlone are not keeping we.!. In fact, became of their duality, they are so longer coming into competition with Ore con onlor.a In the North Faciao Coaat mar- ke:e. The result is a fan- and steadily Increasing tr.overoent in the Oregon article. No figures were complied at the meeting to show what la left on hand, but It is known that Mocks are ' rot excessive, as the crop was originally light and some were afterward lost because of frost. The current price Is about $1 per hundred. GROWERS ARE ANXIOCS TO PEI.L. Hop Market Weakened by Freasniw te m load. . The hop dealers take a vary bearish view of the situation, in fact, nothing but bear talk can be heard around the offioas these days. Their talk seems to be Justified by the actions of the growers, who are pressing their crops on a market that la almost with out demand. Offerings are so far in excess of the needa of dealers that it Is simply Impossible to maintain former prices. This applies to the medium and lower grades of hps. Choice growths are not being sacri n.ei. Kastern reports are to the effect that cer tain large Coast dealer are offering hops to brewers at prices even below those now current here. Their object seems to be fur ther to depress values on the Coait by block ing the Eastern demsnd. Among the business transacted yesterdav was th purchase by the gavey Hop Com pany ,.f HI bales from William TVevton, of Forest Urove, at fUi cents. McNeff Bros b'-uKl't the Ciieswhlre and Byer lota, eg-g-eea-lrg ISO bales, at Eugene, at ft cents, sim .") bale from Martin Kohn, of Gervais, st the same price. A I.I. GRAIN STRONGLY QCOTED. Krmsnd for rjluestem Wheat Is the Featare of the Market. The gram markets were quiet yesterday, as is usually the case on Saturdays, but a firm ton waa maintained throughout. The strength of bluestem wheat is still the features of the market. Quotations on the general run of bluestem remain at 6f? 9T cents, but choice lots, testing eg pounds or better, will command a premium. The de mand for club and the red varieties is not ss good aa that for wheat used for manu facturing patent or local flour. Barley and oats are quoted firm, with a moderate business passing In both gralna. Iocat reoelpta In cars are reported by the Merchant's Exchange as follows: Last Ifth-ltth SOth 1st 2d Id 4th T"tL Wk.

SCHEME IS TRANSPARENT Selling In Other Parts of the List Ijeads to Acuta Weakness Un favorable Foreltrn Jfews Adds to Depression.' KEW YORK. Dec. 8. Violent fluctua tions and excited speculation in a limited number of stocks were the fruit of the circulation of rumors which lacked con firmation. The movement in the stocks Immediately affeoted had so much of an appearance of artificiality that stocks were sold In other portions of the list and the price movement waa thus made irregular and confused and "at last acutely weak. Unfavorable reports from Vienna of the outlook In the Balkans had a depressing effect. Another Increase In the surplus of freight cars for the half month ending November 23. reported by the American Railway Association, was not liked and was coupled with the opinions expressed by several railroad officials that buying of railroad equipment would be slight for the Immediate future. The bank statement gave abundant testi mony of the effects of the withdrawals of cash for export of gold and for restitution of Government deposits and for the bond floatations of the week. It is manifest also that with the more profitable money rates, the trust rorapanles have become lenders on an enlarged scale. The actual condition of the clearing-house banks shows a decrease of $8.002, 4w0 la the loan item, although the. daily average tor. the Item, however, is $6,608,200 but the $20,582,000 loan expansion 'of the banks twtslde the clearing-house and the trust companies in dicates the force of the week's demanda Today's preparation for the subscription for the Panama bonds figured in today's results. It Is believed that the trust com panies are responsible for the withdrawals of cash in preparing for January disburse ments, in consequence of this action the week's clearing-house balances rose to $118, 143.R3R. which constitutes a record. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $8,308,000. United States 2s regis tered, declined U per cent on call for the week. CD06INO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. 22,'JOO 1.2O0 High. Low.

The Seattle wheat men and millers today esti mated the amount of wheat still in first hantts at not to exceed 10 per oent of the orop. The high prices that nave ruiea an the Fall have Induced many growers to let go. Prices In this market are higher than they have been in years. Millers cannot secure No. 1 milling wheat for less than $1, and brokers asked $1.05 on the Merchants' Exchange today. No sales, however, were made at that price. That the market will reach such a price, however, is considered almost certain. , The demand for flour la not as brisk, owing to the. very high price of wheat, and the decline In the price of silver in China. Two cars of bananas that passed through Montana when the temperature was 20 de grees below sero arrived today in excellent condition, not a bunch having been frown. Eggs were weaker but no lower this after noon at 60 to 52 cents. The indications are that the price will be lower next wek on in creased receipts. Cheese is stiff in spite of the recent advance.

Bullish Influence was almost entirely lacking in the wheat pit to day, sentiment among pit traders generally telng rather bearish. The Weather Bureau predicted rata or snow, for the greater part sf the Winter wheat belt an4 this forecast was mainly responsible for the heavy tone which prevailed nearly all day.

Kecelpta in the Northwest were light, al though the movement Is still heavier than at the corresponding time a year ago. Argen tine advices indicated wet weather was de laying harvesting In the Northern district. but the Quality of wheat already harvested was said to be fair.

Tho ladies objected to the cigar. M. Je Morant said it was out, M. Henriot said it was alight, and a row followed. To this day M. de Morant maintains that the cigar was not alight and M. Henriot affirms that lt was, and the point is not yet settled, if it ever can be. The row of July, 1900, became ao violent that M. de Morant complained to the rail road company about M.

His authentic escutcheon bears quartered tho royal lilies of France and the towers of the royal house of Cas tile. Because of this illustrious family tree, M. de Morant's complaint was treated with due respect, and as the re sult Henriot was discharged, though at the time of his dismissal he did not know what caused it. It took him five years to find out that he had been discharged because of the cigar incident and over three years to get his case into the courts.

BALZAC'S HOUSE A MUSEUM Souvenirs of Famons Author Placed on View for Admirers. PARIS, Dec. 6. (Special.) Admirers of Balzao who come to Paris will hereafter have an opportunity of visiting a museum specially devoted to souvenirs of the writer. It consists of the quaint old house and garden in the Rue Raynouarjl, at No. 47, wblch he inhabited many years, and where he wrote a number of his best works. Curiously enough, the house re calls one of the most difficult periods of his life, when, lt is said, he waa hunted and persecuted by debtors to an alarming extent. He selected the house, it is stated, purposely, aa a sort of harbor of refuge from duns. It has no direct en trance from the Rue Raynouard, and one has first to pass through the hall of an other house and go down two flights of stairs to a courtyard below. Tho house, which is a small building, and which the French would only call a "pavilion," is entered from this court yard, and has a little garden at the back. At one side of the garden there is a steep wall, down the side of the hill, giving the place the appearance of a little fortress. The museum is at present only in an in cipient stage, with scarcely more than a dozen articles which, belonged to the au thor, but In time it will, no doubt, in crease in importance.
