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.

somewhat overdue advance yesterday. Job

limited. No mono are coming from the East

advancing for weeks and all tlve Coast mar
kets, except Portland, responded to the ad
vanoe some time ago.

HELPED BY RUMORS
Manipulation of Stocks Based
on Unfounded Reports.
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.

SEATTLE, Wash., Deo. 8. (Special.) 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. "

NEW TORK, Dec Th Financier will

Th principal feature of the statement of
the associated 'banks for the week ending1
December 6. taking; the actual condition of
thea banka aa a baals for comparison, was a
decrease of $9,002,400 In loans, a decrease
of $9, 570. 500 In cash and a decrease of 12.
859,400 In deposits. The effect of these
changes which wre directly contrary to a
preliminary estimate was to decrease the
surplus of th3 clearlngr-housa banks by $,
300,000, making the present surplus resere
of the . clearing-house Institution $19,680,
725, the lowest reported since the banks be
gan to recover early In the year from the
effects of the 1907 crisis.
It is quite probable that the statement
was affected In all details by the adjustment
of the December, 1 Interest period and it Is
Interesting, in this connection, to note that
the summary of state banks and trust com
panies in Greater New York, not reporting
to the Xew "York Clearing-House, shows a
remarkable Increase for the week of $20,
683,600 In loans and an Increase of $25,778,
700 in net deposits while at the sams time
cash holdings were expanded only about
$750,000.
The Interior movement was very small.
The clearing-house banks at present are
only slightly above the required legal re
serve of 25 per cent, the actual reserve on
Saturday standing at 26.63 per cent.
The statement of averages of the clearing-house
banks for the week shows that
the banks hold $20,171,775 more than the re
quired 25 per cent reserve rule. This is a
decrease of $7,953,875 in the proportionate
cash reserve as compared with last week.
The statement follows:

HEAVY TONE IN PIT
Wheat Market Depressed by
Weather Predictions.

JmCAGO, Deo. 6. 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. Leading
bulla were apparently neither buying nor
selling snd in consequence trade was dull
and prices fluctuated within a narrow range.
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. There waa almost no
demand for cash wheat and prices were
steady. The market closed very ateadj-.
with nrlces a shad, lower to a shade hlgner.
December closed at 1.05?S'1.6!, and May

waa slow and nrlces were off 14 to He I ne

Tho ladies objected to the cigar. M.

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

rect line from Loula VIII, King of France,
and father of Saint Louis. He is thus a
scion of the royal French house of Capet,
and Is allied to the royal families of Eng
land and Spain. 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.
He is now claiming $10,000 damages from
the Marquis because through the latter's
complaint against him, which he main
tains to have been baseless and which his
employers never gave him a chanoe to
answer, he lost his situation eight years
ago.
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.
ASK LIBERAL DIVORCE LAW
British Society People Organize lo
Extend Bights of Mismated.
LONDON, Deo. 6. (Special.) Th Brit
ish Divorce Society has Just- been formed
for the purpose of promoting "the
amendment of the marriage and divorce
laws by extending tho grounds by which
a dissolution of marriage may be ob
tained." Its main objects are to make the law
as to marital misconduct the same for
both sexes; to make desertion for one
year, cruelty, neglect, or incapacity to
maintain a wlfo, or conviction of crime,
or Infamous conduct a sufficient ground
for divorce; that out of London Jurisdic
tion in divorce suits should be conferred
on county courts, appeals being reserved
for the existing court, that all children
of divorced persons should be wards in
Chancery.
Among other reforms advocated is one
by which where there are no children
husband and wives should be enabled to
petition Jointly for a dissolution of mar
riage "upon such grounds as the court
may approve."
In the prospectus of the society lt Is
stated that "it is calculated that there
are 100.000 married people who would be
divorced If they had the means."
Scoreless Game at Albany.
ALBANY, Or., Deo. 8. (Special.)
For the second time this season the
foot-ball teams of the Corvallls Pub

month the two teams played a score
less game and they repeated the per
formance in this city this afternoon.
Twice today Albany had the ball
within the Corvallls flva-yard line, but
lost it once in a fumble and once when
the Corvallls lads held for downs.
