Cftaajrsa ta Coffss,
'The coffee market of late has shown
some wonderful changes and prices
liave ruled considerably higher. .Today

package coffee announced an advance of
' , Mr cent a pound, or &v cents a hundred
over 'former -lists, the present ; ruling
prices on package coffees being 113.74
and IK. 25. The coffee market Ishigher
throughout the world, the New York
market showing additional advances
each day on af count of the shortage In
Rid. - Other brands show no 'changes
today.' but all; areejtpected :to follow
th,lea4 of the Arbuckle .concern,:; -.;,
'I Poultry Does Vymvctic:
' The quotations on poultry show an
advance of. cent a pound today on ac
count ot the scarcity of stocks In the
local markets. Front street markets are
quite bare of stocks and the small re
ceipts of the day were eagerly snapped
up at tup prices. The present prices on
,. poultry are rather high and could not
be maintained If the receipts would
. show an Increase. ' All kinds of poultry
were sold today at the prices on
, straight bens. '
1 : Spring; Lambs '-Are Oontlng.'
There were qult a few spring lambs
on the street today, but the demand was
so strong, that they did not last very
long. The receipts of other kinds of
meat were but nominal and the demand

healthy prices. There is a fighting de
- mand now ruling for '' small veal . at
printed prices,' but . the" 'market can
hardly stand an advance at this time. "
Better Tons in Prunes. ' (
Xne coot w earner in the East is caus-
ins a mar anti-lted demand for Orea-on
prunes, but dealers are unable to get
an advance over the 1 V cents base.
Some. of them have: been holding for 1
nl . ... hut. ii ra nn . willing tn Mall at
cent oft that figure. :v
" ; Mnoh Weakness In Batter.
With the exception of the very best
creamery the demand in the butter mar
ket la very weak and prices are not so
- firm. 'Although there were no changes
In the market today, there ta every indi
cation ot vstlli further i declines.- .-Re
tailers "are buying-butter now, but-front
band to mouth, and this keeps the com
mission bouses overstocked. Store and
. dairy, are very hard to sell at any price.
, Errs Getting Cheaper. .
Despite the fact that eggs are now
about 1 cents' a dosen under the top of
the market several -weeks ago, the de
mand ta not quite as active as It should
be and this morning the selling price on
Front street went down 1 7 Mi cents flat
and the market-is very weak at that
figure. Cold storage eggs, of which
there are large lots in this city, are a
drug on the market and are not wanted
at any figure. Eastern are practically
cleaned up. - i r
Export Demand for Hour.
The expetted troubles In the Orient
have caused a.-demand to .again spring
up for flour and this morning quite a
large order was received by local men
from China.' The local flour market is
showing a better tone also, but no
changes are made In prices. . .
.". Xop Markets Are Active.
The hop markets of the entire coun
try are showing a very strong tone and
prices look- like. ; an advance. Local
dealers are 'now speculating among
themselves. One lot of 300, bales was
sold yesterday by one dealer to another
at 26 cents, but was turned down on ac
count of , it Rt being up . to sample,
dealers In this city claim that there
are more hops than generally supposed
1 In the hands of the growers. One of tne
largest hop men in the ctty.-sald today
that according, to' bis best estimates the
' Coast) bad the following number of bales
still remaining In the hands of the
growers: Oregon, 5,000 bales; Wash
ington, 400 bales; California, 1,000 bales.
This estimate la a. lUtle above previous
ones as far ss the stocks in Oregon are
concerned, but 'ia quite a bit under the
estimates for California and -Washing.-ton.,

I Potatoes Dull; Onions Better. '
' The potato market on, the outside con
tinues dull with S1.0B as the top of tne
market in 'Frisco. Local trade Is very
; good and the movement sh6ws an in
crease. There is a mudh better tone lu

BROKERS' OPINIONS
ON NEW YORK STOCKS
(Furnlahed by Orerbeck, Starr ' Cooke Co.)
Logan & Bryan, New York: The mar-
ket is dull, but prices average a llttlo
better. Rook Island statement was con
sidered poor, which occasioned selling
of that stock, and the action of thcStoel
corporation on dividends this afternoon
is keeping the market waiting. In tha
main,-however,-there is the same ab
sence of .selling pressure from large
holders. There is fali-T short interest,
With developments toward peace in the
East, we e"W nothing attractive on the
short side of stocks at current price
They are not high, and are generally in
good hands. Money is likely to contiinie
easy, and business conditions are satis
factory. We would buy stocks on the
soft spots. '
Walker Bros., New York: The market
today opened steady and inclined to be
strong, ? but later became dull,- with
transactions very light. . There was , a
much better tone aad the price of good
stocks nearly all advanced. We look for
a better market tomorrow. , .

tion had passed the dividend on com
mon stock. It was fully expected by
nearly everybody that both of the divi
dends would be paid, and the passing of
the one on common is a great shock to
the financial world- The news was ca
bled at once to London and caused great
excitement among the middle class spec
ulators, who are the principal owners
of the common stock". Extensive ex
citement is expected st the opening of
the exchange tomorrow.

- - There was nothing In the wheat cables
and the, news indicated .only a dullness
and watting disposition. While all the
political news was indefinite and unreli
able yet the tone was more 'peaceful and
the feeling In London seems to show less
tendency to rtenslon. Armour Is still
an lmporta-nt factor In the market, go
far as could be noticed he was bidding
for wheat openly. ', The pit thought he
might be selling through brokers but the
action of the market did not Indicate it.
Aside from this Influence the news was
particularly bullish. The Ohio crop re
port again showed a low condition., The
weather, in. Argentine is fine. Primary
receipts were -large and .world's crop
promises to be larger than last year.
The price? Is of course 'much higher. In
the absence of- war news; therefore, the
natural tendency would seem to be ldwer.
Armour operations may Interfere, for the
time being. - p., v.; :
t..:v' .;' Com Muds Saslsr. .
The corn market was a shade, easier.
There was A good deal of local and gen
eral selling pressure early but prices
were : well supported toward the close
and most of the early loss was regained.
Local receipts were fairly liberal, but the
movement of corn on the whole is small
and for the good grades there is a fair
cash demand. Armour was on both sides
of the market. : Perhaps the natural
thing to do would be to take some
profits. We would buy It at 45 cents n
tll the movement from the interior Increases,-
- .. , :
j ; , Oats Moderately Active.
, The oats marjtet was moderately act
ive and higher. The Incentive is the
small receipts and the good cash demand
with a big short interest principally In
tho latter. , - " -
rrovlsions Active and Weak. '
The provision market was active and
weak. ' There was a good deal of general
selling pressure but it seemed to come
mainly from local traders and the pack
ing Interests market showed very little
reactive tendency from the breaks. There
is no particular change in the situation
but the speculative situation has in the
past week undergone considerable change.
In the first place prices have had a ma
terial advance. - Packers have bought
them for themselves and then left It
largely in the hands of ecalperg. - At the
moment It Is much better selling than
buying. Buy them as cheap as possible,
will bs the slogan of the packers. We
would let go of long stuff at present.

GINNERS' REPORT
SHOWS A DECREASE
(Pnrnlstied br Overbeck, Starr A Cooke Co.
New York, Jan, 6, The ginners' re
port shows that the amount of cottou
sinned to December 13 was about 880,
000 commercial bales less than the same
period last year. There. Is no avoiding
the conclusion, therefore, that the yield
for the entire year will closely approxi
mate the estimate of, the agricultural
bureau, -lately given out as 9,962,000
bales as the total crop. , The census
bureau does not include llnters, which
must be added to tlie estimate in order
to Judge-the commercial yield. - After
the 13th f December last year some
thing over 1,500,000 bales were ginned,
and it will be remembered that a large
part of this was picked during Febru
ary and March, on account of bad
weather. 'While this season conditions
for picking and marketing up to this
time hnve, on the contrary, been equated
by no yean estimates of the percentage
of the crop unmarketed as compared
wttr) last year have forced ' tho belief
that only 70 per cent remained un
counted, and these calculations all cor
roborate and point to the accuracy of to
day's census report It will-be again
pertinently asked how high cftnvcotton
sell with the present demand, ana an
estimate of the possible Supply?
