THE MOKJNItfO- O.REGOKIAN. WEDNESDAY 4PRIL 10, 1901.
COMMERCIAL AND
Front-street markets yesterday -were
juleter. Quotations -were eteady and
only butter showed increased weakness.
Indications point to a decline. Dealers
have conferred regarding the state of the
market, out up to yesterday had not f
agreed upon any change. Large supplies
are on hand, -which sorrfe dealers have
apprehended might go 6tale. Sales yes
terday -were at quotations.
Eggs were steady and stocks were main
tained by usual receipts. Supplies have
been outrunning consumption, and the
outside demand has been light, and since
the product lias not been going Into stor
age at a commeniuraie rate, the Infer
ence has been drawn" that dealers .are
speculating on a prospective Improvement.
The upward .tendency at San Francisco
may be lending encouragement
Sack vegetables, such as beets, parsnips,
turnips and carrots, have been scarce for
several days. Other vegetables also were
limited yesterday, and Oregon were-almost
the only kinds in market. Domestic
product is improving, especially rhubarb,
of which vers' good supply was in yes
terday. 'The California steamer Is due
tonight with usual produce. A few very
choice Newtown apples, from Hood River,
found ready sale at $2 50 per box.
Receipts of poultry yesterday were
larger than for some time, and are ex
pected to pick up. Oregon cheese had' the
usual strong demand. Oats were steady,
perhaps firmer, at quotations.
Mohair is coming in steadily, and re
ceipts will be stimulated by good weath
er. Kids suffered considerably from the
late cold rains, a fact which, it Is said,
may have its effect on next year's crop.
Wool showed no improvement.

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain, Flour, Etc
The wheat markets were dull and lower
'j yesterday. Europe showed the usual sym
pathy for the decline which has been go-
I Ing on in this country since the holiday

bushel. In the local market, there was
very little doing, buyers were unable to
secure wheat on an export basis, and
were Indifferent about putting out limits.

NEW YORK STOCK 3IARKET.
Speculation Recovered From the In
security of Monday.
NEW YORK, April 3. An astonishing
mutation of speculative sentiment waa
demonstrated by the action of the stock
market today. There was not a sign of
the distress and acute anxiety under
which the market labored all day yester
day. It is the almost invariable rule that
such a violent break in prices as that
of yesterday brings In overnight an ac
cumulation of selling orders from alarmed
holders, of stock who wait for dally re
ports for their Information on the stock
market, but the opening this morning
was quiet and unruffled, with no Import
ant pressure to sell, and with many nota
ble advances induced by the demand of
the shorts to cover.
Before the day was over, the bull lead
ers had recovered their full control -of the
situation, and were marking up prices and
attracting large following with all the fa
cility -which has characterized their oper
ations for many weeks past. There was
very palpable manipulation, and there
were carefully organized operations to
support the market. Commission-houses
which were prominent in bidding up
stocks, and which have acted for largo
speculative interests all through the re
cent bull campaign, "were free tenders of
money below the rate offered by the banks
at the same time that they were buying
stocks. The rumor of the Burlington deal
was'rehabilltated, and had apparently not
lost any of Its force, although official con
firmation was stilL conspicuously lacking.
There was revived credulity in many oth
er rumors which have already done good
service, including that of the supposed
readjustment of General Eloctrlc's cap
ital and the Southwestern railroad merg
er. THe settlement of the. internal dis
sensions in the American Smelting Com
pany, the advance in the price of refined
sugars, and the absence of any engage
ments of gold for export by tomorrow's
steamer were all used with effect by the
bulls.
Advances reached 6 points In Burlington
and Rock Island and Northwestern; V& In
Northern Pacific, 4 in Texas & Pacific, 4
in Chicago & Eastern Illinois; && In Met
ropolitan, 3 in Western Union, 3 in Coni
solldated Gas, 4 in Amalgamated Copper;
2 In Sugar; United States' Express, 5&
Rubber, 4&; Rubber preferred, &&', and
the majority of the principal active stocks
from 1 to 2 points. Only In one or two
cases were the gains fully maintained, re
actions running from 1 to 2, but the
market was vigorously supported again,
and the close was Irregular.
The pressure of profit-taking was not
notably heavy, even at advances. Appar
ently, the speculative holders of stocks
were determined to hold for a further rise,
unless they were forced Into liquidation
by calling of loans or by wiping out of
margins. There was much less calling of
loans today than yesterday, and this
called attention to several causes for spe
cial pressure In yesterday's money mar
ket. .
Today's clearing-house statement dis
closed the enormous total of exchanges of
$437,852,980, which is over $12,000,000 in- ex
cess of the largest previous day's record
In the history of the Ciearlng-House. The
general activity of the stock market yes
terday had something to do with this, but
the settlement growing out of the clear
ances in the contracts to deliver the
United States Steel stocks, when Issued,
was a special factor. The easier money
in London today lessened the demand for
exchange, and the rate for sterling yield
ed a fraction. Yesterday's heavy liquida
tion also caused some natural -relief to
the money market. There was not lack
ing a suspicion that yesterday's. -violent
relapse was winked at, if not connived in,
by sold-out bull leaders, either to enable
them to get 1n at the lower prices or to
shake out aweak following and relieve
the condiiibri: pf over .speculation. -
The bond market was active and irreg
ular. Total sales, $3,085,000. United States

Forelsm Financial Xeu-fi.
NEW YORK, April 9. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
"Business generally was cramped on the
stock market here today by the impend
ing settlement which comes' .tomorrow.
The chief Interest was In .the American
department.
"The American shares opened cautious
ly, people having been scared by the re
lapEe In New York, but It soon was real
ized that the drop 'was Ipfinlteelmal when
compared with the recent, advances, and
a general quiet buying movement eet In.'
This "ttas encouraged by the opening m
New York, and the appearance here of
American support. The clpse was "quiet
at the top prices of the day. The 'North
em Pacific Issues were tfip leading fea
tures here. Berlin neglected them, favor
ing Erles. ?
"It le expected that -the 5,500,000 of gov-
erhment dividends will soon be mopped up
by the repayments to the bank, which
will prbbably resume its strong grip on
money within a few days. '
"Silver spurted today on speculative
buying."

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, April 9. The decline which
began a week ago In what continued un
checked. Lower cables were offset by
light Northwest receipts, and the opening
was without any material chance in
prices. May at this time sold at 71
71c, compared with yesterday's close at
71c. Moderate buying, chiefly, fn the
hope of a turn after so severe "a break,
caused an early rally to 71c. No sup
port developed, r however, and wheat
bought at the start came out again.
The decline once started, long stuff came
out In heavy quantities, one operator
dumping 2,000,000 bushels into the pit.
Stop-loss orders were uncovered, and the
combined pressure forced May down to
69c. Excellent weather for the crop and
the expectation of a bearish Government
report tomorrow were factors In weaken

close. This was fully equal to '.the dncllne
here -during-the same time. It failed to
reflect any apprehension In regard to the
condition of the German crop, fears. of,
which had caused froo covering of shorts
yesterday. This, together with generally
Spring-like -weather throughout the West,
lnduded reselling of short wheat for local
aocount, and the weakness which followed
brought out liquidation. The lone df the

The general average, as reported for the

sents a practically perfect prospect over

How cap a Weak man succeed In this

there Is not a drug

Weaknesses. Nature
never Intended a man's

I have invented a method of applying
Electricity which will not fall. f

It with the many so-called electric belts now

are none like it. It has soft, silken, chamola

used on other makes of belts. My Belt can be

others burn out they are worthless. Abso
