MANCHURIA FLOCH MAUKKT. Much Competition Is Shown Between American mid KumnIuii Products. A report from Consul General W. I. Straight, of Mukden, nays, in the Dully Consular Reports, that it Is staled that Russian flour from the Harhln mills will shortly be placed on the south Wanrhurliin market to compete with the American article, of whloh during 1906 274.191 plculs, valued et 8H1.124 halk wan taefs, or about S 86 S.rt43 gold, were Imported through Newchwani:, with un sverag larger amount through Dalney. Mr. Straight continues: Russian flour Is to be purchased by local dealers through the Kusko-CIii-nese bank and will be sold t Mukden, wholesale, at about $2.30 small culn or ippmxlmately $1.1 0 United Slates old rer bag, (49 pound). American flour s now selling wholesale at about $2 50 small coin per Uik. but owing io the rise on the American market this price can h"UJ only while storks ordered prior to that rise are obtainable. Jn les than six months there has ljen an Increase of 80 gold rents per bnrrel In the c. 1. f. price at Yokohama and Kobe, virtually the same rate holding nt Dalnv. Amer ican sales would therefore seem to be serlonsly menaced by probable Husslnn eompetlt'lctn. The nblllty of the Harbin millers to undersell the dealers In our flour will be Increased bv the Improve ment, shortly to be effected, of fa cilities lor transhipment from the Rus sian tn tho Japanese railway systems. It should be remembered. In connection with tills desire of the Russian Inter ests to enter tho field. tht the Harbin mills were considerably nlarged during the inte war to supply the Manchurian armies. Owing to the withdrawal of me troops, nowever, they are now forced to seek their markets elsewhere. The Kuaso-Chlnese bank Is reported to have advanced considerable sums to the mill owners, and it Is largely to protect their own Interests that the bankers nro Interesting themselvejt In extending the Hour nusinesa in southern Manchuria American millers piny bo Interested to jearn mat the Chinese prefer their na tlve flour, ground by hand or by horse or mula power, to the foreign product, on account or the greater proportion ot gluten Contained in the former.

At Imes the street was full of disturbing rumors and the embarrassment of one Important operator In copper added to ne prevailing demoralisation. mis continued liquidation was, of course. part of the general reaction which began with contraction In the money market, was accelerated by various ex posures and legislative attacks, and is now causing a wholesale and somewhat radical financial housecleanlng. Many of the rumors In circulation were gross exaggerations and tliut there is no need for any repetition of the financial hysteria which maikfl the Attgust break In the stock market. Since January many good railroad hares have had their values cut in alf. The Industrials have sulfered ven moro drastic declines, being cut Into thirds and quarters. After such a tremendous shrinkage It is almost folly to talk of panic. Violent breaks may be possible but the chances of a genu ine panic with all the disaster and de rangement which that means is exceed ingly remote. Losses have been enormous. but they have been admirably met, nod con- ldcrlnr their extent, tne disasters fol lowing have been remarkably few. The following are the bid price or October 19. 1007. as compared with those of the same date a year ago. This shows the full extent of the se vere liquidation through which the slock market has passed within 365 days: By Hvman IT. Cnhsn Portland Union Stockyards, Oct. 19. There was not a single price change In the local market this week. Receipts were snove tne average for this time of year in all lines, and packers took advantage of this, and tried to dress values. While tho receipts of cattle were not so great as a week ago. the run wa sufficiently heavy to allow the inn-Hem 10 ouy at rormer prices, wnne In reality the market should have been higher. The reason why no greater price Is shown In cattle is the enormous amount or contract stuff now being re celved bv killers who are using this ract ns a club to curb the market. While the run of sheen was not so great as last week. It wss larger than a year ago Despite this the market held well, because killers on the coast neg lected to buy sheep for fall delivery for too long a period, and therefore were short of supplies when the amall ship ments began. Hogs arrived much faster during tho six days, the total run reaching 1905 heod. compared with 259 head a year ago. Market held oulte firm all week. A year ago for the past week sheep advanced 60c while hogs were moved up 25c. Cattle Just held their own. With the Incorporation of Swartachlld Sulzberger, the Chicago packers In this city today, Portland la assured of another packing house with up to date facilities. While the Incorporation pa pers call for a capital stock of but $50, 000, this is taken to Indicate that the capital will be Increosod when tho real building of the large plant begins. It Is stated that the company has for some time controlled a parcel of land adjoin ing Swift A Company's proposed site on the Peninsula, and plana are now being prepared fn the east for a modern packing plant.

Chicago, Oct. 19 There was a radical ' revolution in the wheat market at the ' opening from the semi-panicky weak ness prevailing the day previous. LlT erpool was from V4 to d higher. The feeling of confidence arising from the feneral firmness abroad increased dur ing the first hour, in which time there "1 waa an advance of 2c over final nrlcea of the day previous. From Australia came a tale of drought and ruined wheat crop. Confirmation was forth- ' coming from Russia of the heavy short- sge 01 that country's wheat crop com- . fiared with last year, the deficiency be- '' ng placed at 46.000,000 bushels. Local receipts were 86 cars compared " with 41 last year and shipments 640.00O bushels against 28.000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts compared with last year's were (47 to 103 cars. Export Business Excites.

Local receipts were 1.126 cars, and shipments 1,076,000 bushels. Liverpool reported futures 4 to u - lower. Demand for shipment east was poor. Export clearances were 116,000 . was 696 cars.
