THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1903. 15 POTATOES ARE DULL Heavy Shipments Do Not Help Local Market. SITUATION AT SAN FRANCISCO Home and Shipping Demand for Onions Is Slow Features of the Pineapple, Currnnt and CI ore Trade Quotation!. The potato market li dull and dragging. In rplte of the heavy shipments to California. The last steamer from here carried nearly 10,000 sacks, bet so heavy Is the supply In the terri tory tributary to Portland that such shipments have so effect on local conditions. The demand here Is confined to the best grades, and It Is hard to find buyers for poor potatoes. Most of the stock that has been received has come la by river. Few of the farmers vest of the atty have drawn upon their surplus supply. What Is going to become of the big yield In Portland territory remains to be sees. It looks fcs If the bulk of It would hare to be stored. The Ean Francisco Bulletin of the 10th said: New potatoes are coming forward more free ly. Today's receipts Included 11 boxes from East Berkeley and 13 sacks from Halfmoon Bay, which sold at as average price of 8Ho per pound. The market for Oregon potatoes was weaker, owing to the arrival of 9G70 sacks on the steamer Columbia. It Is expected that the bulk of these potatoes will have to be stored. Fancy Salinas and river Burbanks are In moderate supply, with prices steady. Early Rose for seed are In good demand and firm. Another carload of Merced sweets arrived. The onion market Is also in poor shape and does not show even the life It did a few weeks ngo. Some onions are being chipped to Califor nia, but the demand there Is not strong. Singapore Pineapple Output. Paul Taylor Brown, a New York importer, who lias returned from a vlilt to Singapore, brings the latest pineapple news. While away Mr. Brown visited points In China and Hawaii, returning by way of San Francisco. Touching the canned Singapore pineapple, which formed ihA.oMcf object of his trip abroad, Mr. Brown expressed the opinion that the' prospects for a large output of late Fall and Winter pack are favorable, but that the outlook for the Spring pack Is sot for a large production. There will be, be thinks, a wider range of quality, owing to the tact that many plantations have been allowed to run wild, and the Jungle growth, by drawing away much of the strength In the land, has weakened the crop so that while the fruit will mature It will lack much of the rich flavor. Cable advices from Singapore quote the market M per dozen higher than was the case at this time last year for March and April shipment. This difference In values, he thlntts. Is not war ranted by the situation. The importations last year approximated SO.000 cases, or about double those of the year before. Lnrjce Clove Crop. The Federal Reporter says of doves: Cable advices have been received, stating that Instead of this year's crop being a small one. It will be rather larger than last year: and January-March steamer shipment from Holland lias been offered as low as 8c per pound, while the far-off positions, such as February-April steamer shipment from the East, have been quoted at the earoe figure. Whether this Is simply a bear movement to try and cover pre vious sales at a profit or the actual condition of affairs in the East remains to be seen, and for the present Importers are doing nothing In the article. In fact, tbere has been no business put through Eince the decline In prices set In. and we do not even hear of any bids having "been sent out. "Why Currant Are Virix, Mall advices to an Importing house amy of the situation as regards currants: Decidedly the advance of prices in Greece la not, at all warranted by the state of the markets of consumption. These are very weak through out, and buyers abroad appear very Indifferent Indeed. We can. therefore, find an explanation for It only in the fact that heavy sales hare been effected some time since to Germany with monthly deliveries, January to April left un covered In expectation of lower prices. These sales falling due one' after the 'other our ship pers must provide the fruit, making the -best of a bad bargain. We hear of some 7000 tons falling due January and February and as many more for March and April. To provide such heavy shipments at this advanced stage of the season Is a thing that cannot be done without stirring the market all the time. This Is the main reason for our being of the opinion that prices are not likely to decline. On the other band. It our market for the reasons above men tioned is maintained firm for the next two or three months. It Is likely that so protracted a firmness may bring about a reaction In the mar. feet of consumption. Cheap Eggs Expected. Egg receipts were not heavy yesterday, but -were ample for all requirements. Arrivals were moved off within the range of the established quotations. Predicting a further decline, deal. era say larger receipts are bound to come as ttoon as "the country roads become passable and the farmers can reach the Interior markets. Another depressing Influence is the decline at Ean Francisco, which will permit California shippers to enter the British Columbia field, as the freight rate Is as favorable to them as to Che Portland trade.

CO A GREAT FRENCH CANAL If It "Were Built It Would Completely Outflank Gibraltar. London Leader. Tho movement In favor of the Two Seas canal destined to Join the Mediterranean with the Bay of Biscay, Is raining; con siderable support In Franco as the result of recent events In Morocco, it -will out flank Gibraltar and render that historic ally strategic point of secondary Import ance. The French are seriously thinking of the possibilities of Its construction. To link the two oceans with a waterway through which the biggest mall or battleship could pass would require an expenditure of 00,- 000.000 francs. It Is true that national finances are In very low water, that the country is casting about for means to make up a deficit, but it is pointed out that where England, Germany and even Belgium and Holland are spending eo much to improve tneir dock accommoda. tion, a charge on posterity might well be made. lor tne coneirucuon oi uus water, way. The canal would be 300 miles long, but it would save 1200 miles for vessels pro ceeding from the Atlantic to the Medlter nan ean. and represent a saving In time of 7 hours, and in fuel of about X)0 for every merchant steamer that chose the cross-country route. Mall steamers would save a hours In time, and nearly ISO In fuel. Calculating on the same rate of toll as from the Suez canal, France ought to get 111,000.000 to 113,000,000 revenue per annum from the canal, that is nearly 10 per cent on the capital expenditure for constructive worra. A resolution on the subject will shortly be brought before the French chamber. Deputies -will be told that England views the propoeal with a nervousness which ought to be an encouragement for France to proceed; the truth is that England would no doubt welcome any scheme that would reduce the sea route to India, Aus tralia and the extreme East by a couple of days and would effect a saving on what is a most expensive service. Xore Land for Biltmore. New York Herald. George W. Vanderbllt has purchased all the Upper Davidson River lands, to gether with the water power that has for years been the motlre force at the mills there. It is understood that Mr. Vanderbllt will erect a railway station at the point where the tannic extract plant is being built. Mr. Vanderbllt will also improve the approach to Biltmore. The river bank crt the AshevUle end of the Swan nanoa, bridge will be excavated so that the river will not overflow. BUYERS ARE WAITING EXPECT LOWER PHICES LATER IX THE IROX TRADE. Coke Is Still the Commanding Fac torOre Needs of Furnaces Esti mated at 30,000,000 Tons. CLEVELAND. Feb. 12. The Iron Trade Re view, In Its issue this week, has the following to say of the Iron market: Current orders In finished Iron and steel busi ness In sight strongly reinforce the favorable forecast for the year 1903 and account for the strength the pig Iron market maintains In its prolonged wait. Coke is still the commanding factor, and will continue to be a first consid eration in all attempts to estimate the relation of supply and demand In ore, pig Iron and steel. The Lake Superior ore trade Is ablo quite accu rately to estimate the ore needs of furnaces now using lake ore and those of the new fur naces that expect to start up this year and the total has been put at SO. 000,000 tons for the 12 months ending April 30. 1903 but the past year's furnace record shows that the coke sup ply is the determining element. Ore prices have not been samea, ana lurnace men are not seeking to contract for ore. Me saba producers prices for the 3,000,000 tons from that range which go Into the open market are likely to be 75c a ton higher than in 1902. and old-range ores from 20c to SOc higher. In the past week there has been what seems the beginning of easier conditions in respect to fuel supply: but the furnaces In the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys and the Pittsburg district are still threatened with stoppage from the strike of limestone quarrymen. no settlement having been reached. The foundry Iron market gives no promise of any change. Sales for the first half year con tinue to be made, but buyers as a rule are not convinced that prices In the latter part of the year will not be lower. They see no risk in waiting, and, on the other band, sellers have so large a tonnage undelivered that they have no seed to force the situation. Foreign Irons are somewhat higher, but firm prices have not stopped sales, for It Is evident that considerable imports will De necessary through the first half of the year. Bessemer Iron Is being bought for the second half, with some variation In prices. A 10,000-ton sale was made at 120 at Valley furnace, while a 6000-toa lot is reported to have brought 120.50.

In the course of the temperate yet eml. nently just eulogy which he pronounced upon Senator William J. Sewell. of New Jersey, at tne recent eesslon of Congress. Senator Depew took occasion to speak some brave and timely words upon the absurd and senseless prejudice which pre vails in some parts of the country with reference to the election of railroad men of any rank or station to public office. The fact that Senator Sewell had been a railroad man all hid life, commencing In tho humblest capacity and rising to that of president of a well-known line, and that ho took an honest pride in his calling and made no concealment of it for any pur pose, gave both the occasion and the point to Senator Dcpew s remarks. Tne senator recalled an Incident at a National con vention at which Sewell and he were fre quently in consultation, where a gentle man distinguished in his state and In the Nation came to Dcpew and said: "You should retire Instantly for tho sake of your party from the position in which your state put you aa Its candidate for President, because in our state we have educated the people to believe that any one that holds any position under a rail road, whether it is a brakeman, a conduc tor, a locomotlvo engineer, a freight man. president or a general counsel.

To thl3 Mr. Depew replied: "My friend, what do ou dor "Well," he aald, "outelde of my public life I am so engaged and engrossed In public duties that It is Impossible for me to take private practice, and so my entire living comes from the 'retainers given me by a leading Western railroad."

THE MERCURY VAPOR LAMP Possibilities In Connection With Mr. Hewitt's Invention. New York Tribune. American electricians have been familiar for nearly two years with Cooper Hewitt's mercury vapor lamp, and can well under stand the enthusiasm with which Lord Kelvin and other British experts regard ed It when It was first shown them last Friday. Several theoretical and practical questions concerning: the Invention are not fully solved. Possibly Mr. Hewitt does not himself jo'ellcve that it has reached Its full devclopmcnUrf every de tail. But as It stands today his lamp represents a degree of originality and an amount of experiment and calculation which have inspired hearty admiration in those who best understand the device and the work of which It Is the outcome. In outward form Mr. Hewitt's lamp re- wnlnds one of the Gelssler tube, Jlacfar- lane Moore's beautiful demonstrations six years ago, and some of the marvelous ex hibitions of Mr. Tesla. In these, however, the effects were secured by rapidly alter nating of Interrupted high pressure cur rents. Both the means and the princi ple were different from those employed in the mercury vapor lamp. In the lat ter tho gas la made Incandescent, as Is Mr. Edison's carbon filament, simply by resistance to tho current going through it and by heating In consequence. For this service a low-pressure continuous cur rent Is sufficient. There is no induction or wave phenomena or "electrostatic dis charge." From the popular point of view the device poraeeaes several merlta The ap paratus Is simple and light Is obtained al most Immediately upon turning on the current. In both respects the Hewitt sys tem seems superior to the Nernst syetem. another recent candidate for favor. There has been pome question as to the color of the clow emitted. But a violet tinge is leds objectionable to most people than the greenish light which characterized the early Welsbach mantletn Besides, the former may yet be entirely corrected. Just as tho latter has been. One of the most Important recommendations of the mer cury vapor lamp Is Its economy. Mr. Hewitt believes that he gets a given amount of light by the expenditure of only one-third of the energy required by the arc lamp, and from one-eighth to one tenth of that consumed by the incandes cent lamp. If these estimates are fully sustained by later tests a radical Improve ment in at least one respect will have been secured. It remains to be discovered, of course, how the lamp Itself will compare with the arc and incandescent lamps In cost, and how often it will need renewal. On the whole, a favorable showing on theso points may be expected. Almost the only other consideration, then, remaining will bo tho possibility of developing, after long trial, defects now unforeseen either In outdoor Illumination, to which It is best adapted, perhaps, or In offices and house holds. Electrical engineers will feel more In terest than the general public In Mr. Hewitt's other new Inventions mentioned in recent London dispatches. 'When a low tension direct current, such as was once universally used for the Edtoon lamp. Is available, Mr. Hewitt needs no extra ap paratus. There Is a growing tendency today, however, to generate electricity for distribution In the form of an alternating current, and subsequently to change this into a direct current. The Manhattan Elevated Hallway Company does so, for instance, and In Its sub-stations uses a machine that looks like a dynamo, but is called a rotary converter. There is likely to bo a growing demand in lighting as well as traction service, therefore, for appa ratus performing this function; and it is not Incredible that the old converter will be surpassed. Until more is known about Mr. Hewitt's mechanism its merits can not be judged. Tho dispatches speak of Its diminutive size, but that fact is not significant unless one knows how much current it was called upon to handle. Tho first cost and tho efficiency of the two systems must be fully known, and the principle of the new converter must be explained before any opinion concerning It can bo formed. Still, Mr. Hewitt's In genuity and mastery of electrical science justify confidence in Its utility. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. A S Dlehl Ana Arbor F C Gruble.
