I THE MOENTNG OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903. 13 FAILURES IN JULY Heaviest Bankruptcies for the Month in Ten Years. CAUSES OF THE INCREASE Commercial Interests Stand tlxe Test 2b a Way Tliat Angnrs "Well for. tie Future. Reports to Dun's Review show liabilities of Insolvencies during July $10,751,245. In the same month last year the defaulted Indebt edness was only $6,932,851, and no other July of the past decade showed as severe losses, July. 1606, coming the nearest with liabilities of 515,001,085. Failures numbered 015, against 825 In the corresponding month last year, but prior to 180S the average was considerably higher than last month. The statistics com pare with the same month last year In detail as follows: Manufacturing defaults numbered 53, with liabilities of $6,378,761, against 191 failures last year for $2,5CS,803; trading banlv ruptcies were 610 for $3,571,503. against G78 a year ago. with liabilities of J2.S06.SCS; other commercial failures, including broker age, real estate and transporters, except rail ways, were 43 in number and $6,800,951 In amount of defaulted liabilities, agalnjt 56 last year for $1,577,123. Each division shows more or less increase In liabilities as compared with the same month last year, and the cor responding month of most other recent years. but it is encouraging to find that the largest difference was caused by a few large suspen elons In "Wall street, due to the speculative situation, rather than to any unsoundness in the industrial structure. Eight banks failed with liabilities of $20S,8O0. compared with two for $166,000 a year ago.

It la seen that last month was unusually full of disaster. Nu merieally, the margin above normal was not important, but the aggregate of liabilities made a .-atfcer significant exhibit. It is natural that bad debts should came to the surface at Vie close of a fiscal year, when semi-annual Inventories and stock-taking disclose any weak p-ts in the business situation. Moreover. there lias been in progress such a steady re adjustment in prices of securities that men in al! sections and occupations have suffered. JSuc'i a contraction in the market value of stocks could not fall to produce some pressure outside of Wall street, and It Is an indication of (Strength that the business world has not been more severely shaken. It has been a season of severe pressure, and the commercial interests of the country have stood the test in a way that augurs well for the future. Conservatism has Increased, limit' lng many projected extensions, but in the long run the more cautious progress will prove less subject to setback. LOOK FOR II LITTER HOP PRICES. Nineteen anil Twenty Cents Ottered at Hiirrlnburir. HARRISI1URG. Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.) Charles Llvesly. of the Arm of T. A. Llvesly & Co., Salem, was in this city last evenln trying to buy 1002 hops on contracts for the new crop. He purchased 21 acres of growing early hops from A. M. Pryer, whose yard is Just across the river, for $2650, and hired "Wl.llam I'ryor to superintend the picking and baling for him. The price paid amounts to $120.20 per acre, or about 1S cents net, af ter paying for picking, curing and baling. Mr Llvesly offered 10 cents for 1002 bops on band, or 20 cents for 1002 crop to growers who would also contract their 1003 hops at the same figure. As this firm has always been a bear on the market, these figures are taken by the grow ers here to mean higher prices for hops. There are between 300 and 400 bales of 1002 hops still unsold here. HOP CONTRACTS RECORDED. Continuation of -O-Cent Offers From Salem Denier. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.) Several bop dealers today confirm last night's report that 20 cents a pound is being freely offered tor 1003 hops on contract. Llllenthal Bros, today Sled hop contracts covering the Kelzer crop cf 8000 pounds at 16 cents, and the IVhlteman crop of 6000 pounds at 17Vs cents. The former contract was made July 3, and the latter Au suit 8. Cent-acts have been made at 20 cents, but aioue have been recorded. I (I all u Crop Report. The Idaho weekly crop report says in part: Harvest of small grain la being extended Into eastern counties, while threshing has be come more general over the southwestern ag ricultural districts. Grain Is yielding well In most instances where threshing has been done, nnl the quality of the product is good. Much of the second crop of alfalfa in south- wettcrn sections has been cut and stacked, and results are generally satisfactory. In southeastern counties the crop Is making ex cellent growin, except wiirre reiaraea oy lack of water.

The Iron Trade Review this week says: The heavy 'buying of pig iron in the West has established that market on a much firmer basis, and the lead of the big malleable and Implement Inter ests In covering requirements for the remain der of the year will be followed by buying on the part of the smaller interests. Chicago reports sales of about 150,000 tons of Iron In Uie past ten da the leading malleable in terests buying 50,000 tons of malleable Besse mer at $17.50, while the leading harvester Interests have purchased close to 50.000 tons of foundry Iron, northern furnaces securing over 26,000 tons at $17. while more than 20.000 toss were placed with nonassoclntlon Southern furnaces on the basis of $12. Birmingham. Numerous other purchases of both malleable and foundry in lots ranging from 3000 to 50. 000 tons were made. This heavy buying of Southern foundry Iron has practically estab lished the market on a $12 basis. The buying of iron In the Pittsburg dis trict has alto been much heavier than for some time, the sales of the week aggregating 13,000 tons, at prices somewhat lower than had been prevailing Sales of 4000 tons of forge have ben made at $1J. Pittsburg, and one lot of 300 tons of Virginia basic for delivery the remainder of the year, was plaeed at $17.25, netting the furnace only $14.50. The United States Steel Corporation has de ferred the buying ot Bessemer for the fourth quarter, no quetaUeoc on Iron for this de livery having been received by the pig Iron committee. Whether the corporation's re quirements from the valley furnaces will be as heavy during the last gunner as during rtmllar preceding periods this year Is doubt ful, as one new stack at Clalrten. In which It owns half interest, will be blewn during September, and in October two stacks at Sharon and two at Doner become available. The pig iron production in the Pittsburg and valley districts will be greatly curtailed din ing the present month, as 11 stacks are out for reUnlng and repairs, four being Steel Cor poration. furnaces. Two additional stacks are to go out shortly, one at Youngstewa and the other at SharpsviUe. A new stack at Dubois, Pa., was added to the list of active furnaces this wwk. while the Cleveland fur nace will be making iron !n a few dUys. The demand for steel la the tana of billet. ton and shet bars. Is not heavy, and the mills .that are parties to the billet -association are pelting not much, over half of their surplus production. Steel production is, however, be ing curtailed by the idleness of two open hearth plants at Sharon, and Bessemer plants, one at Youngstown and the other at "Wheel ing UPRUSH IN STOCK PRICES BCOYAXT TOXE OF THE XEW TORK MARKET. Large and Substantial Burins Ele sent on Eaad Reading Leads TVlta UbhibsI Advance. NEW TORE, Aug. 13. The recuperative forces In the stock market gathered resources today with the result of a -buoyant uprush In prices on a very animated buying move ment. There was activity during the fore- !J noon of the market that promised the largest I day's business ior the year. The, market afterward showed signs of weariness at the rate of the movement. The recovery was the result of a series of In cidents rather than any one development. Natural reaction from the. recently prevail ing extreme depression was an important fac tor. The mere sentimental effect of the rally, after the gloom and apprehension that have prevailed so long in Wall street, was consid erable. Immense relief from the constant threat of forced liquidation or bankruptcy, which It Is not unfair to assume has been hanging over some houses, nearly predis posed the whole financial community to take a more cheerful view of prospects. "Where efforts for a long time past to market secur ities have met with almost no demand, there was substituted a lively and urgent demand for stocks and bonds of all grades today. The urgency of some of the buying and the violent advances In prices, showing clearly cnougn that efforts by distressed shorts to cover their contracts before the rebound car ried prices beyond their reach, was an Im portant element In the market. Bidding up of prices by opposing professionals to fores higher prices out of the bears was another palpable Influence. Eut It was evident beyond this that there was a large and substantial buying element In the- marset which was tak ing over stocks of all classes with freedom and confidence. It is not to be presumed that the buyers have so suddenly changed their opinion of the financial and business outlook. But the conviction has been growing that the long decline in prices has been more than sufficient to offset the unfavorable factors in the situation and that the necessities of the money situation have been forcing the selling of securities below their true values. The event proves the contention of those who have maintained that there was a large waiting demand for stocks which would come Into the market freely when the liquidation seemed to be concluded and prices definitely turned up ward. The taking over of the Seaboard Airline In the Rock Island Interest had a stimulating ef fect upon the speculative imagination. It furnished proof that not all the large Interests were hard pressed to hold their undigested securities and that the financial necessities in some quarters might prove the opportunity in others for extending Influence and consoli dating control. Rock Island itself, as well Southern Railway, Illinois Central and Louisville & Nashville, all shared in te day's strength, reflecting the impression that the new arrangements tend to community of In terest in the southern railroad field. A num ber of stocks of minor railroads, supposedly available for absorption by more powerful neighbors, were Strong. The feature of the day was Reading. Its sensational rise of 5 gave rise to many ru mors regarding new projects, division of con trol and guarantee of dividends. A very fa vorable- showing of July net earnings is ex pected for the road, as well as for other coalers. Baltimore & Ohio's net Increase in July of $311,625. thus conserving nearly half the gross increase, helped the soft coalers. The United States Steel stocks did cot share fully In the day's strength, although they were bought on a large scale. Tho conference of members of the Senate finance committee with the President gave rise to assumptions regarding the scope of plans for financial leg islation which were used with effect to fur ther the advancing tendency of prices. The buying movement showed some signs of ex haustion at the last and the market closed lr- Tegular and below the best. Bonds were strong.

I We Cure Men Men suffering from any sexual disorder or weakness are very lia ble to neglect themselves, or, what is worse, attempt the cure by means of patent medicine, or drug clerks' advice. When complications arise and the matter becomes seri ous, they go to their family physi cian, whose experience i3 limited and facilities for treatment poor. When at last obliged to consult a specialist, he hesitates because of fear of being robbed (which, we are sorry to say. Is often done by un principled men, in the business). To all such men who have suf fered with gleet, stricture, pros tatic or sexual weakness, we have this to say: Do not flatter your self you are well until every vestige of the disease has been cured, for it is a well-known fact that more than one-half of the disorders of women are directly caused by dis eased men, who, thinking them selves well, marry and infect their wives. A word to the wise is suf ficient. We have the largest prac tice on the Coast, our facilities the best, for treating all formsf of DIS-K-SE3 of the MALE, and, more over, wo will not accept a dollar for any case we know we cannot cure, and you need not pay jis until discharged well. If you cannot call, write a state ment of your case, and we will tell you In a plain envelope what we can do for you. and what the charges will be for a cure.
