THE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1907. 15 FORCING COFFEE UP Artificial Scarcity of Some Brazilian Grades. RESULT OF MANIPULATION .South American Government Iut tinjj Away Several t illion Bags in the Faro of the Largest Crop Kver Known. The manipulator. arn forcing, the cnfte tnarket up a liriU- as ias to expected. Some sradrs of Brazilian cniToe are already becoming srarce, having been put away by the gnverrnm-nt. Thig has been done in the fare of the fact that the present crop is the lnrgest evrr known, hilt with y, 000.000 or 4.nno.oft "nas not to bo touched for two yars, an art i lie i I Ft ar city has b;en cre ated. All djiei'.da on the size of the crop and the amount or monry the Brazilian go eminent can borrow, but it Is believed that a day of reckoning must come. The only question is. when ? Ilevicwing the cofi ee situation, the week ly circular letfr of a Kew York broker, ju?t received, says: A good many reports have been coins the round o;' the coffee trade actn as t whether or not the "Brazilian government h Fucceeded In negotiating a loan, and b tori os have appeared In the newspapers that ail nttempLa to negotiate a loan have f:u!.-d. On the other hit ml tlte government of Sao 1'aulo has been folio wine lis own t'oursf to take tore of the surplus of this crop and finance it Into the nai. a accord ing to Its own ottiiial investigations the outcome of the next Santos crop will be just :is imu-h below as tlie current crop Is above the wunts of thr trale. It is difficult to un derstand to what extent the uesllon of loans Is essential to the coffVe trade so Ions lis tho government has abundance of funda in hand to finance its operations, and should It be that additional capital is wanted, it Is quite oerta in t'.ial the eoftVe people who have bus led thcnioel ve.-? with the question of loans are not at all familiar with fuch af fairs. Kimtncial negotiation! between a gov innienl. and friendly bankers are not likely to he published the world over, and for tols reason, therefore, all the notices appearing nboul such particular matters, are absolute iuv ntlons and are circulated only by those parties who ui e interested In lower coffee markets. ('allies reported the results of close in spection of coffee conditions in the interior oi" Sao Paulo, and prove that not only will the next Santos crop be very finall, but the (central tate of the poll and of the trees is unfavorable for anything but average crops for a long time to come.- Thin com parts with the conditions existing after the large Santos crop of 1 f0 1-1 1. It has been nsrt rtatned furthermore that the large pro duction or the current season was not the rrsu it of you iijc irees coming into bearing, but principally due to a chance crop from old trees that are not capable of giving a large crop again. t-OCAl, WHEAT 81PPIA' ST1 LL SHORT ArrhnU 'ot SufTicient for MHlerV and Ex porters' iecds.

BREAK IS VIOLENT Whole Stock' List Is Swept Downward. MANY RUMORS ARE AFLOAT Efforts Said to Be Made to Secure Cancellation of Iron and Steel Orders Hills and Harri mans Suffer KirsU NEW YORK, March 4. Prices broke with violence In the later dealings in the stock market today and the market gave every appearance of wholesale liquidation being In force. The early action of the market gave an Impression of a bear attack. There was a moment of strength in a few issues at the opening and there were points of re mittance in the early decline, but the whole 1st was swept into the downward move ment -and the decline gained impetus as the futility of efforts at support was perceived and stop-loss orders were uncovered upon the decline. The supposition gained ground also t hat there was some large liquidation of what are called investment holdings go ing on. These reports caused a gloomy feeling over the whole Industrial and busi ness outlook. ' They were accompanied by some rumors calculated to deepen tha gloomy feeling, but which were without confirmation. For Instance, it was affirmed that efforts were being made to secure the cancellation of some of the orders on the books of the United States Steel Corporation for future delivery, owing to disinclination of the con, tractors to accept the deliveries. It was asserted that the Pennsylvania Railroad was seeking to abrogate some of its orders for freight cars, prompted by a revised view of the outlook for traffic. These re ports were without confirmation upon in quiry in official quarters. The earliest show of pronounced weakness was in Hill stocks, with the Harriman stocks In company. The rapid downward course of" these stocks save rise to talk of liquidation of Harriman holdings of the Hill stocks, of reprisals for grievances believed to grow out of the Harriman Investigation or of Rome of the information furnished for the purposes of that Investigation. An other source of weaknees was the alleged need of various corporations for new capital and the high rates they would be obljged to pay for it. Reports of net earnings of railroads for January coming to hand showed the in roads resulting from the increase in wages that went into effect on January 1. This effect of the growing cost of operation of railroads and the difficulty f securing capi tal for the betterments brought into consid eration naturally the integrity of dividends. A number of preferred stocks on which the dividends have a comparatively narrow sur plus of earnings to depend made precipitate declines on comparatively light dealings. The cumulative effect of these considera tions and the growing weakness of the mar ket had a demoralizing effect on the mar ket and the fall became rapid. The early resistance was in the department of spe cialties for the most part and among the Industrials. Reading was strong and seemed to be accumulated with persistence Into the afternoon. The coppers and United States Steel were late in yielding. London sent higher prices at the opening, prompted by a favorable view of the passage of the Aid rich currency bill. Money here grew easier on call with the progress of liquidation, but time loans were. strongly held. The Saturday bank state ment was believed to indicate the shift in the currency movement in favor of the in terlor. The closing tone was fe-erish and unsettled and the rally due to covering of shorts was poorly held. - Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $1,714,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing oaies. iiign. low. . Hid..
