THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, TUESDAY, FKBKUABY 16, 1904. 13 LIGHT BEAN CROP 0' Southern California Needs More Rain. SHOULD HVE SIX INCHES Stocks In That State on. the First of This Month Estimated at 700, 000 Sacks-Produce Price Current. "Weather conditions In California point to a. very light bean crop.. It Is stated In the fcest posted quarters that unless the southern part of Xhe. state has an average of six Inches of rain between now and May 1 the crop will come near being a failure. A San Francisco firm making a specialty of beans Issues the following circular; Since our last statistical review of Sep tember, 1903. the bean crop of 1803 lias been harvested, partly marketed, and a portion warehoused In the well-known warehouses throughout the state. For the first time In years, growers hae held back shipping, ware housing and marketing, and at present writing, there are more beans on the ranches stored in barns than ever before In the history of the state. A falling market and Inactive de mand created among the growers a widespread disposition to bold their product on the ranch and ship to market only when the sale was made In advance. The farmers holding their product has made It difficult for the various exchanges and merchants arriving an at ac curate figuring as to the stocks lri the state on hand December 1. and the result has been, that up to the present date, no reliable figures have been given as to crop estimates of 3903. From our various state agents. Interior warehouse connections and growers we have carefully compiled an estimate of stocks of beans on hand February 1. 1904, amounting to 700,000 sacks. Of this amount 400,000 sacks are conceded to be limas, the balance consist ing of large and small whites, bayos, pinks and tlackeycs. The stocks of pinks are the lightest In years, and only with a fair demand , uciween now ana ociODcr l mere win not oe pink beans enough to supply this trade. A sharp advance is looked for. The Winter trade from the East for Cali fornia beans was very light, which was due to the cheapness of Michigan stocks, bad weather conditions and a tight money-market; however, at the present writing, these condi tions are completely turned around: the East cm money market has gotten oer Its bad spell, an easiness prevails and most all points are now asking for samples and quotations of the California product. 1HKTXAND MAKKETS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.- (Special.) The potato market showed considerable firmness desnite larire offerings of Orecon Burbanks brought by the steamer Oregon. The potatoes sold readily on the dock at $1.25 to $L27H for fancy and $L10 toL15 for ordinary- Receipts from other sources were small, especially from the river, and holders are .firm. Best River Burbanks are held at $1.05 to $1.10. Salinas Burbanks are scarce and strong. A few leading houses Identified with the shipping trade control the potato market and with prices firm at the main sources of supply, the out look favors high values for the remainder of the season. Oregon onions brought by the same steamer sold well at $2.15 to $2.25 and the market closed firm. The grain market displayed Increased strength all around, wheat being strength ened by the advance In the East and barley and oats affected by trans-Pacific inquiries, which have not yet resulted In much actual business. Hay and fcedstuffs are strong. The weather was wet, but much warmer, and ior the latter reason citrus fruits were in more demand. Oranges were easy, except for large sizes. Nine carloads were auc tioned. Fancy Redlands brought $L20 to $2 and other grades 40 cents to $1.50.

Offerings Are Insignificant, and a Slight Demand Is Sufficient to Maintain Prices. NEW YORK. Feb. 16. Tho stock market to day marked time, and at Intervals came to a halt, but, slight -as was the demand for stock s. It was sufficient to maintain prices, as u le offerings were entirely Insignificant. There were no signs of liquidation, nor did the pro fessional traders venture to take the short tide of the market. In spite of the stagnant condition of the trading, a condition that usually Invites some aggression by professional bears. There was nothing In the day's news that seemed to have any Influence upon the market beyond the negative Influence of the relief felt at the absence of selling pressure The special demand from Baltimore last week for funds, which counteracted the currency movement to New York, is expected to con tinue this week, some estimates of the prob able shipments to be made this week running to Improbable figures. The financial world. however, is Jn a very composed frame of mind regarding the money outlook, in spite of the Baltimore demand,- the coming Panama canal payment, and the continued temporary borrow ing by railroads, which receives a greater or less- addition every day. The abstract of the reports of National banks throughout the- country on January 22, shows some comparisons with the condition of No vember 17, the period of the last call by the Controller, which help to explain this confi dence. While the total of loans for that period has Increased some $44,000,000. the re- .ports of New York clearing-house banks be tween the nearest corresponding dates show an Increase of $78,000,000. The aggregate In crease in deposits, which reached $124,000,000, Is also exceeded by the New York increase, which was $139,000,000. It thus appears that the enormous increase, which was noted In the "Sew York bank loans during that time, and which has gone still further since then, was accompanied by an actual shrinkage In the loan account of other National banks. The aggregate reserves of the country have In creased about $94,000,000, while the New "York reserves expanded $57,000,000. Of today's few noteworthy movements, that In Amalgamated Copper was attributed to an advance In the price of copper. The closing was firm, but nearly stagnant, The day's business was the smallest in nearly four years. The bond market was also exceedingly dull and the tone steady. Total sales, par value, $1,218,500. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Close.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15. The market was bullish from start to finish.

Custom and Statute Demand an ' American Sabbath. PORTLAND, Or., Feb 12. (To the Edi tor) The opening or closing of the busi ness of the Lewis and Clark Fair on the national Sabbath' I3 not a question of profit or of expediency, or of propriety, or even of good taste, although all these may beinvolved. It must be looked upon as matter of honor and right. We have a nation's Sabbath day, that is, a national t day of rest from business, from labor and toil to get gain. This needs not to he proved. It is a self-evident fact. The principle of Sabbath observance Is im bedded In the constitution of the United States and in the laws of all the states, with one exception, and Sabbath laws are bound to be enacted in that state as soon as Christian civilization reaches the point at which the people demand a legal day of rest from business. I use the name Sabbath advisedly. It is an anglocised Hebrew word meaning "rest from labor." To the devout soul it means much more than rest from labor, but legal enactments cannot control the acts or the thoughts of the devout soul. Their aim is to bring business to a standstill on the Sabbath and to release every man from obligation to labor on that day as far as possible. This is not only -the law of the land, hut it is the established cus tom of the whole people as well as the custom of -ail the state governments and of the Isatlonal Government. Sabbath ob servance and voluntary church going dif ferentiate the" English-speaking civiliza tion from "the civilization of the Conti nental nations, and place It In contrast with all other nations. Here the custom of a "rest-from-labor-day" may not recog nize the day as the Sabbath of the patri archal age, or the Sabbath of the Jewish commonwealth, or even the Christian Sabbath, but simply the American Sab baththe American rest-from-labor-day. Oa this day the statutes of Oregon com mand all transactions of business to cease; and all right-minded and honor able men render a cheerful obedience to the statutes as far as their business will permit, because they conform to the his toric national custom.' AH acknowledge the beneficent results of the "rest-from-labor-day." This city of Portland is a remarkable Sabbath-keeping city. As a matter of fact, all large, honorable busi ness establishments In this city, as In all the great cities of this great country. close their doors on Sunday, rt Is in like manner true that all business places that minister to-the vices and criminal pur suits" of men keep their doors open on Sunday. In defiance of all law and of all attempt thus far to govern and control them. They are the enemies of the race. Their tendency Is to break down all re ligious and moral, and even civil, nbllga tions. Sabbath observance is a .serious check upon their tendency to total an archy. Let good citizens throw off the restraints of Sabbath observance and the tendency to anarchy will be Increased to such an extent as to put all good men In terror. It is a matter o honor and right that every place of business should close on Sunday, as far as it Is possible to do so. In order to comply with custom and the law of this state and o$the nation. None are more Interested in this Sabbath ob servance than the laborlngman and the employer. The Lewis and Clark Centen nial Exposition Is to be a great business establishment, conducted in the best pa triotic spirit, and it is a matter of honor and right that Its business should observe the Sunday custom of the nation by clos ing Its gates on Sunday, In order to give all the people rest. This Is best for all ennrprned. WTLLLM: TRAVIS.
