THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1905. BOYCOTT BY TRUST San. Francisco Firms Get No More Sugar. BELONG TO HAWAIIAN .PEOPLE First Retaliatory Move, by Western Refinery That May Be Followed fay -Interesting Developments Salt Prices to Advance. The latest developments In the Kan Francisco tugar trouble caused 'no surprise imons Port land jobber.-, a the move by the trust had been anticipated. A sariva.lt wire announced that the Western Sugar Hennery had refuted to sell Its product to three large grocery houses at that city. These are the houses that are most eJoely identified with the Hawaiian Independent company, and the boycott begun by tho trust Is "but the expected retaliation. As none of the Northern Jobbers are affiliated with the Hawaiian company, their source of upply will not be Interfered with. The first lot of now Hawaiian wash sugar "has been put on the San Francisco market, and, according to grocer?, does not compare In quality with the Coast sugar. The ugar market shows a very Arm under tone, but, of course, it la possible that this may be disregarded and prices made that will meet Uic competition of the artiole from the i?Iande. Jobbers, however, do not look for uch a move, and arc incline! to believe that the next change in the "list will be in an up ward direction. The New York markot is ptrong at the recent advance of 10 points, and should another similar advance take place, iugar could be moved from -tills Coast to the Ailantie seaboard, and such a deal might even be possible at the present range of quotations. Notwithstanding the refineries are not offer ing fruit sugar and will have none to soil until next month, grocery houses of this city are still carrying large stocks of It. Not onlj -ln the sugar, but In the salt trade as well, are Interesting developments .pending. Negotiations are now under way that bid fair to make marked changes in the list, and it is likely that advances wllj be announced soje time next week. roirrxAXi) markets. Grata.

To morrow tlte grain and, marine departments bf the Merchants Exchange wlramore to tix magnificent hall In ifce.new -building. Ltttl business was done In cereals In the old quar ters today, and etlll less is expected tomorrow. Whent closed firmer after early depression. Heavy receipts of' feed barley weakened spot prices for that cereal, but futures were well sustained. Oats continued firm. Fcedstuffs were steady. The open market lor choice and standard navel oranges was more active, owing to brighter weather and the willingness of hold en' to make concessions. -Fancy navete .ero slow and weak.

Offerings of lemons were ample, and prices were easy for the general run. The market Is overstocked with bananas. Receipts of ap ples are still light, and upper grades are sell ing well at stiff prices. The potato market was less active, as ad vanced prices have cheeked the demand. Re ceipts of River Burbanks were light, but the wharf was overcrowded with accumulated stock, owned by leading dealers. Oregon Bur banks from the steamer Columbia sold, readily up to $L25, and $LS0 was paid for an extra fancy lot. Some receivers tried to get $1.33. but the buyers withdrew. Sncets were firm. Onions were In sharp demand and higher, at $2.60 for fancy Oregon. Butter was firm. Cheese was steady. Eggs, were weak. Receipts, 01.400 pounds butter. 23.900 pounds cheese; 20,600 dozen eggs.

SLUMP IN AMALGAMATED PRESSURE OWING TO DISAP POINTMENT OVER DIVIDEND. Unsatisfactory Reports of Railroad Earnings Chlcsgo Terminal Re organization Rumors. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Constraint was mani fested on the speculative spirit of the stock market today, and the tone was heavy and dull far the greater part of the time The positive weakness, however, of the opening dealings which came over from the preceding day was soon dlrelpated. The pressure centered largely in Amalgam ated Copper, owing to disappointment over the dividend declaration. The amount of the dis tribution was what had been generally ex pected, but disappointment was felt that the etyle of the dividend was not made regular 1 per cent quarterly. Instead of per cent regular and per cent extra, which was felt to Imply a question as to the maintenance' of" the rate. The stock was forced down an ex treme lii. and without making a recovery was effectively supported above the low point. While the market was saved from the sym pathetic Influence of continued weakness In prominent railroad stocks there teemed a con tinued weight on It, end the notable advances !n special cases were not effective in reviving the strength and activity. Great Interest was shown In the ncwa of the conferences between Pennsylvania Railroad officials and employes in the effort to adjust the labor dispute and the uncertainty as to the result had Its effect in repressing activity In stocks. Reports of gross earnings in railroads for the second wesk In 'January showed a consid erable falling off In the recently prevailing level of earnings, with the mixture of losses compared with last year bringing the average fer 17 railroads reporting to an actual decrease of over 2 per cent from last year's level. But the movement of special railroad stocks was clearly based on the hope of increased return from dividends. This was .notably the case with Chicago & Northwestern stocks for which encouragement Is given by the recent advanee in the dividend rate on Chicago. EL Paul. Minneapolis &. Omaha, which !s a subsidiary stock. An inference seemed ito be drawn ot a hope for more liberal dividend allowances among the Vanderbllt properties generally. The violent rise In the Chicago Terminal stocks was understood to be related to a pend ing plan foe a reorganization, but no news was forthcoming on that subject. There were a number of notable gains among specialties and minor railroads, but In the standard ltrt St. Pawl and Louisville & Nashville were about the only stocks to show appreciable strength. The slcggisbnera or the general list was not modified by tec forecasts of the week's cur rency movement, indicating another gain In cash ef upwards of $6,000,000. The rushing up of Reeding to 804 in the last half hour or the market was only slightly more successful than previous rooveratnts In stiffening the tone gen erally, and the closing was irregular and active. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $3,700,000. United States new 4s declined on the last call. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bW.

Jan. 20.-800 "r J-n un expectedly firm market at Liverpool, wheat here opened at a alight gain. May being un changed to He iigherat'$L14H to $1.14;. At the start there was a fair demand' from com mlEslen houtes. Offerings were rather light. After May bad touched $t.l446L14i. prices suddenly started downward, and the decline was not checked until May had sold off to $L13b- The break was due largely to the ex treme weakness of outside markets. The poor demand for cash wheat at all centers, however, was said to be the fundamental reason for the heavy tone of the speculative market. An other Influence that contributed to the weak ners here was the liberal movement of wheat from Argentina, shipments for the week being 1.176.000 bushels, compared with 21G.0C0 bush els the previous week. Nevertheless, pit senti ment gradually Ion much of Its bearishr.es. One or two prominent operators became fair ly active buyer?. Many of the smaller traders who had sold freely on I he early weakness covered their sales and helped cause a slow recovery. The market became active and strong during the last hour, winding up higher than yesterday, with prices at the top njtch of the current day. The final quotation cn May was $1.15. Influenced by higher cables, the corn market was firm, with a fairly active business. May closed unchanged. Sentiment in the oats pit was governed prin cipally by the action or the com market. May opened a shade to .! higher at 31c to 31? Slbc. and closed unchanged. The provisions market was firm. Trading was net particularly active, but buying orders were numerous though to abrorb all offerings without tae necessity of any cut la prices. At the close May pork was up 12bC at $12.75.

MILLS ARE STILL BUSY PROGRESS MORE RAPID IN MANU FACTURE THAN -DISTRIBUTION. Reeling Generally Is One of Great Confidence in the Ensuing Year's Cusiness. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Dun's Weekly Re view of Trade will say tomorrow: Progress is more rapid In manufacture than In distribution, which is largely due to tho weather at some points and the unsettled feel ing In the South, where the collapse of cotton price has retarded collections and caused many cancellations. That production la main tained by mills and furnaces may be taken a evidence of confidence In. the future. Set tlement of tho protracted labor struggle at Fall River la encouraging, butthe Industrial atmosphere is disturbed elsewhere, although, on the whole. there Is less than the customary idleness for this season. Railway earnings for January thus rar show a gain of 7.3 per cent. Foreign commerce at this port Is also better than a year ago. the. last week ahowlcg gains of $3,535,889 In value of imports and J237.9S3 in exports. Hides are still firm as a rule, except that some decllnra are recorded on packer natives, as these constitute the bulk of current re ceipts. This la a seasonable Influence, and does not detract from the general tone of strength. Failures this week number 335 In the United States, against 23S last year, and 21 in Can ads, compared with 33 a year ago. LOW COTTON DEPRESSES TRADE. In the 'South Only Are Business Conditions Unsatisfactory. NEW TORK, Jan. 20. Bradstreefs tomor row will say; Industry still maintains a position or pre eminent activity, while distributive trade for Spring, not as yet fully opened, lacks definite form In some lines. Lumber U strong at higher prices than last year. With the exception of the South and por tions of the Southwest, where lower priced cotton affects collections and clogs the future, the feeling is one or great confidence In the future, and particularly as to the ensuing year's business. Collections are Irregular, be ing best In the Northwest and Central Weet and poorest In the South, where low cotton depresses trade. Iron and steel in its cruder ferms have been rather quieter this week, and the Winter edge of demand being taken off. foundry iron and Bessemer pig have been shaded In price. Early predictions of a small gain In gross railroad earnings for the' year 1004 over 1803. the best hitherto reported, are confirmed by reKrts to Bradstreefs of a 'ractlon of 1 per cent increase Csr the last 12 months. Decem ber gross receipt show a gain of I per cent ovtr i003. but for. the first hair of January the increase Is considerably smaller than last year. Business failures in the United States for the week ending January 10 numbered 304. against 295 last week and 265 in the like week In 1904. In Canada failures for the week number 37, as against 24 last week and 25 in the like week a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports far the week ending January 12. arc 1,138,074 bushels, against 700.950 bushels last week and 3.58S.S92 bushels this week last year. From July 1 to date the exports are 3S.010.1S6 bushels, against 05.823,515 bushels last year. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. Jan.t20.
