TIIE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 1909. RECEIPTS ARE LESS Wheat Arrivals Not Equal to a Year Ago. DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY Responsible for Strong Market at All North Pacific Coast Ports. Heavy Movement to California. Lower Oat9 Prices Probable. Receipts r.f wheat at this port are in creasing steadily, but the movement is stitt much smaller than it was last year. Since Cm beginning- of the crop season the total receipts at Portland have beeu jm -sra. Of this total. 134 cars have ar rived In the past five weeks, while I" the corresponding nve weeks last year the receipts were J1S2 cars. The carlot receipts of wheat for the period compare as fellows: !l0 -nMlr iiffir.r Aur. 2R irx9. 'A Bit OS 74U Week ending sil. 4 Week ending Sept. 11 Wfk ending Set. 1 V. ' emiir. Sent. 23 .3!" .4:; ,553 These limited arrivals of wheat and the chartered tonnage in port continualy trowing have combined to create a strong position In the local wheat market. The situation on the Sound is even stronger than here, as the grain arrivals there are much small-r, and the needs of shipper more pressing. To stimulate a freer movemmt, pr'.ces have, therefore, been advanced at all coast points In the past week. Saks of bluest-m at 1 track are reported from Seattle and Tacoma. but this business is understood to be for milling account. Added to the troubles of the grain trade Is the difficulty of bringing wheat, already bought, from the interior to tide water. This is due to the shortage of motive poweT rather than of cars, and no relief Is likely until the heavy passenger troflic subsides, .which will be when the Seattle Fair is over and the low colonist rates expire. In the meantime there Is a very good demand from California for wheat, and large shipments are being made from Portland and Puget Sound ports. The undertone of the oats market ap pears to be weak. Prices are unchanged, but trade is very slow. Dealers believe that oats prices will have to decline, in view of the good crop in the Northwest and the offerings by Montana dealers, who have a large surplus to dispose of. In previous years Montana has sent Us excess of oats to the Eastern markets, but this year the dealers of that state are looking to the Coast for buyers. , Barley is steady and the market shows more activity, because of an increased local demand. The hay market continues Arm, under light receipts. A few small export orders for flour have been received, but the trade Is rather quiet. Local patents are quoted firm. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. May Monday ... Tuesday ... Wednesday Thursday .. Friday Saturday ... Tear ago .. a 8 2rt .. M ...

The hop market yesterday showed the first traces of real excitement this season. The demand was keen, but buyers were unable to accomplish any thing. The market was completely blocked. Offers of ::H cents were freely maese in the country. Three dealers bid this rice on a 200-bale crop at Banks, but without success. Orders are coming In from Middle Western points, where the brewers are known to be lightly sup plied, but the East still holds back. A 2o0-hale lot of Yakima hops was s.old at 22 M cents, and this figure was generally offered in that state. Cali fornia advices reported 22 and 22 cents offered for Russian Rivers ana Sacramento, with the Sonoma market deadlocked. A large part of the Oregon contracts have now been taken In and the deal ers have found the growers willing to abide by their agreement. No trouble on this score is anticipated. Advices from Washington indicate -Hthat the crop of the Northern state will not exceed 15.000 bales. Picking Is still In progress in Western Washington. Isaac Pincus & Sons, of Tacoma. have received the following cables: From Barth, of Nuremburg Market very strong: 37 to 40 cents paid to growers; believe market will go higher. From Bing. of Nuremberg Crop much smaller than previously esti mated. Prices for ajl descriptions con tinue to advance. From Monger & Henley, of London Reduce our estimate to 200,000 cwt. Market quiet but firm. MOVEMENT OF CRAPES IS HEAVY. Shipments From California Points Hare Not Fallen Off. r.nrni-nln TPrnlt Distributors re- f port shipments of 625 cars of grapes In the past weea auu oj . u..mc... of grapes this week has not been quite as heavy as that of last week, and probably will continue in about the same quantity for the next week or ten days, after which shipments will un doubtedly decline. Fruit now going forward is ot a liner Cjuain.v man that has been sent out heretofore and the bulk of it will be classed s strictly fancy in character. The fruit is of good color and is sweet and in every way desirable. The weather has continued favorable, and the usual shower, which we get at this season of the year, has so far passed us by. 1 . Very few Cornichons have as yet gone forward, but there is a nice crop of this variety, as well as Emperors, which will move out after Tokaya are practically gone. The quality of both Cornichon and Emperor this year is unusually good. There la a large de mand for grapes and they are giving almost universal satisfaction in all the markets of the country. Recent sales ' of Malaga grapes in the auction mar kets have been of a very satisfactory character, and this fine variety seems to be growing in popularity. This is as it should be. as the Malaga, when well grown. Is one of the best grapes produced in California. FIRST CAR OF CRANBERRIES ARRIVES Are of the Barry Black Variety and Come From Cape Cod. The first car of cranberries of the season arfived yesterday and will be distributed Monday morning. They came from Cape Cod and are of the Early Black variety. They will be of fered at $10 per barrel. The fruit market was not heavily supplied yesterday and everything cleaned up well. The season for Sum mer fruits Is drawing to an end and the trade Is beginning to show more lr'orest now In apples and Fall fruits. A car each of grapes and peaches Is due Monday morning. A few cars of potatoes went forward, but there is no demand yet from the South. The early shipments were rather to sound the market Shippers quote country prices at 60 to 70 cents. CNSETTLED TONE IN PQ,rLTRY TRADE With Large Receipts. Prices Are Barely Maintained. The week closed with the tone of the poultry market rather unsettled. Re ceipts have been fairly large and buy ers have complained of the high prices asked. But for the demand occasioned by the Jewish holiday, there is little doubt but that prices would have been lowered all around. As it was. it was necessary to shade prices of chickens in some instances yesterday .to clean up the day's receipts. Ducks have sold ciulte well, but the few turkeys that came In were hard to dispose of. There was a good demand for eggs, and the market was quoted strong at 32 to 32 1-2 cents. The supply of city creamery butter is light and the market is firm. Cheese is steady at the old price, with only a limited quantity offered. Bank Clearings.

Announcement made yesterday that the leading holder had entirely disposed of a bis H"e of his September wheat had a depressing effect today on the wheat market. Weak cables and liberal receipts In the Northwest also prompted considerable selling. The mar ket opened weak with prices tc to lc lower, the greatest loss being In Sep tember. -December opened at OS'&SSSc to SSaC and. after selling at 9SUc, ad vanced to 9SHc on covering by shorts. The wheat market became firmer dur ing the final hour, but no great activity was manifested. The close was firm, with Decemher up c at 9STc. Generally favorable weather conditions for the new crop caused weakness in corn. December opened a shade to ifi t4c lower, at sS35S',c, and advanced to Trade In oats was quiet and prices moved over a narrow range.

"The beat of hogs were moved at the top quotation, though most of the arrivals had to sell under the extreme figure. Quotations on sheep and lambs were main tained in svlte of the big receipts, as arrivals for some time past have not been heavy.

The sea son of 1909-10 is fully a month late. A late harvest, coupled with the high prices of grain, held the growers back, and. as a result, the receipts have been slow.

Lumber shipments, foreign, have been slow. Coastwise cargoes have also been light. Rates for coastwise business are stiffening up, and lumber men look for better times In the near future. The de mand In Soufhern California is Increasing. During the month there has been a heavy shipment from Grays Harbor. Klval Steamers Meet Cat. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 25.
