17 THE MOKMXG OK EliOMAX, SATURDAY, NOVE31BEU V, 1SJKJ7. DECLINE IN. HIDES Market Depressed and Trade Disinclined to Buy. EASTERN ADVICES BEARISH Some Bright Spots In the Creamery Situation Hop Market Weak and Pull Advance in I , Sugar. The hifio market, which was weak be fore the financial trouble began, Tina natur ally suffered by the present condition of affairs. Price show a decline or several cent and as offerings from the country are large, the market Is very weak. Dealers are not Inclined to stock un because of trie financial depression In the East, In conse quence of which dealers cannot realize cash against their shipments. Salted hides are now quoted at 6 cents and green hides at 5 cents In the local market. This la about half what hides were worth a year ago. The latest mail advices from Chicago, the central hide market of this country, say; The market is disturbed by financial con ditions' and the fact that money is very difficult to obtain on reasonable terms. A-bout all of the large tanners are out of the market entirely and entertain such bearlsn views regarding future values that at pres ent they are not even disposed to make bids. Bales of packer hides during the week hav been very moderate and have been confined chiefly to single car lots that have been pur chased by scattering buyers to supply Im mediate wants. Trade generally in leather continues dull. rs buyers of all kinds regard the market as being on too hlph a level under present con ditions, and they are therefore disposed to limit purchases to actual necessities only. On the other hand, tanners claim that values can.be maintained owing to the cur tailed production, which keeps supplies on a par with the decreased demand. EASTERN BUTTER MARKET ADVANCES Removes Hanger of This Market Being Hooded With Outside Supplies. A distinct change for the "better has oc curred In the Eastern butter and sec ma kets. Butter was one of the first product to feel the effect of the financial strain and prices at New York and Chicago slumped sharply when some . of the big speculators were forced by banks, to market their holdings. The decline In prices was checked two days ago and the recovery has already set In, prices having gained 1 cent of the loss. Both the New York and Chi cago markets were firm yesterday as a re sult of the Improvement In financial circles there. Kggs in the Bast have also taken on a stronger tone. These developments in other markets have had no effect on local conditions, rur ther than giving an assurance that prices here cannot bo disturbed by undue importa tions from the Eastern states. The Port land creameries are maintaining steady prices, but slow buying on Front street has led to the shading of quotations on some brands. The egg market, which has held remark ably steady, gives Indication of no change. Ten cents was the general quotation on chickens yesterday and most of the dealers succeeded in cleaning up at this price. LOCAL HOP MARKET IS SLOW. Ironmonger Cable That London Is Dnlt and Weak. Aside from the sale of a carload of hops yesterday tit 6 cents, no business was an nounced in the local market. fiaao Plncus & Sons, of Tacoma, yester day reported: "Ironmonger cables: The London market Is very dull and shows further symptoms or declining. Foreign advices have a depressing- effect. Brewers are not buying. We consider the situation very weak." No "Sew Business In Wheat. So far as can be learned, no new business Is under way in the wheat market. Some trading in oats and barley is going on, in view of the steady feed demand and pur chases are also being made on old orders. Prices are unchanged. , Demand for Cheap Apples. Trading in the fruit and vegetable mar ket continues on a light scale. Supplies were airly good yesterday and former prices prevailed. Apples continue the leading fea ture and the cheaper varieties sell well. Local Advance In Sugar. An advance of 6 cents per hundred In all grades of sugar was announced by the Job bora yesterday. Local conditions were given as the reason for the advance. Bunk Clearing. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were: Clearings. Portland 818.31:!

Two members of the Andersoa Are depart ment were fatally Injure OFFERINGS ARE FEW No Pressure to Market Stocks at New York. DEMAND IS PRONOUNCED Call Money Becomes Much Kasier and Lenders Are More Numerous. Forecast of Bank Statement Later Causes a Reaction. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. There was a more pronounced stirring of speculative activity in tne e toe it marxet today than at any penou since the recent dieturttance aet in. The fact was associated in the current conjectures over the o rig in of these operations in the neiKfi- borhood of the Stock Exchange with the re cent return from vacation trips abroad of some of the large market operators, who dropped out In the dealings completely several months ago. l he manliest pressure to con vert into ready resources some very large holdings of the United States Steel sinking fund bonds, and the fact that the transfer of control of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Com pany to the United States Steel Corporation, had made large holdings of these bonds avail able to the most prominent of the former speculative operators, gave plausibility to the supposition of the Identity of the principal buying. The market was found responsive to these dealings and rellected the same condi tion of scarcity of offerings which has been the negative evidence of returning commence for several days past. The banks continue their attitude or dis favor towards large speculative operations, but the manifest signs of a resumption of operations on margin pr actual eales indi cated that this obstacle had been overcome in some manner. The principal buying was con centrated in a limited number of stocks, but the upward movement was fairly compre hensive. although uneven. The great trunk line railroad stocks, bottr East and West, were the favorites, especially Union Pacillc. Pennsylvania and Reading and the United States Steel stocks. Amalgamated copper and American Smelting. The call money market ws. in tact, appre ciably easier, and there were conspicuous add itions to the list of large lenders on call at the Stock Exchange, including bankers and trust companies which have been distinguished ror their abetenslon from this form ot lend ing for many days past. Hsti mates of tne week s cash changes, as usually made up" preliminary to the bank statement, were exceedingly contused and nec essarily so in view of the fact that some of the banks withheld the usual reports on which these statements are based. The movement to the interior has continued heavy, as was to be expected, but the amount shipped by express and through the sub-treasury on bai ance appears to be somewhat less than last week. Allowances must be made, however, for the short week caused by the election hol iday, in ludKinr of the bearing of this fact on the probable subsidence of the ru.fh of funds to the interior. Today b gold arrival of over i:i,0H000 does not figure In the es timates, which include only Thursday s op erations, but they will nxure for one day's average In the bank statement and will that far effect the apparent decrease in bank casn of about $12,000,000. Arrivals of gold have operated to reduce loans which were con tracted to engage the gold and should operate to reduce that Item In the bank statement. The prospect, it will thus be seen, does not hold out a promise of a very sultantial reduction of the last week's $38,000,000 bank deficit. It was this consideration which caueed the material reaction in prices dur ing the late period of the stock market. The downward tendency of prices was practically uninterrupted up to the closing, but etui left many substantial net gains on the day. The advance in the official discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany was practi cally Ignored. It had been clearly foreseen and the continued large engagements of gold for import detracted from Uts effect. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,603,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

STANDS THE STRAIN Country Weathers Financial Storm Remarkably Well.- : CONFIDENCE IS RETURNING Fewer Commercial- Failures Than for Two Weeks Past Hoarded Money Is Going Back Into the Banks TTse of Credit Paper. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. R. G. Dun Co.'! Weekly Review of Trade will say tomor row that there were fewer commercial fail ures in the United States this week tnan for two weeks past, reflecting the im provement of conditions as forecasted In the reports received up to last night, scarcity ol money, unseasonable weather and the holi day combined to make the volume of busi ness smaller than usual this week, but the situation Is more encouraging because or more general belief that the financial storm Is being weathered remarkably well. About $40,000,000 in gold was securea abroad before the Bank of England raised the official rate of discount, and returning confidence is witnessed by deposits ot hoarded money. It will take some time to restore all this cash to circulation, but the treasury has given further relief and the banks are Issuing notes- freely. Leading in dustries are handicapped by lack of funds and so many contemplated undertakings have been deferred that working forces are reduced, especially at steel mills. Prices of commodities have declined still further and exports should be Increased thereby, but for the last week foreign com merce at this port -showed a loss of $2,512, 691 in value of merchandise exported as compared with the same week last year, while Imports gained $165.-061. MORE OPTIMISTIC TOJJE PREVAILS. Country Accommodates Iteelf to Changed , Financial Conditions. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. Bradstreeti tomor row will say: Good progress has been 'made In accom modating the country to the changed finan cial condition; this. .too. with strikingly little friction, considering the scarcity or currency and widespread substitution ot credit instruments for actual cash. At the same time, wholesale and jobbing trade has qulted down very perceptibly, and the dis position in industrial lines has been to cur tail production wherever possible, the aim toeing to avoid unnecessary or possibly bur densome accumulations of stocks. There is. In fact, a rather more optimistic tone prevailing this week than last, the outgrowth of the better feeling at the East, the large arrivals of gold from Eu rope, and the Idea that basic conditions, both as regards the purchasing power of the people and absence of large stocks, are bet ter than in Rome' preceding years of stress. There are. it Is true, increasing evidences that the level of commodity prices has been forced unreasonably high and the process of readjustment will compel numerous re visions. In this respect, the easing of iron and other metal prices, the further decline In cereals and the sharp falling oft in live stock quotations are taken as an earnest de sire for revision in other lines yet to come. From two sections, the Northwest and the Southwest, complaints are numerous thai the -absence of actual cash prevents the movement of wheat and cotton to market; but the countrv-wlde issuance of bank ana corporation checks in small denominations has eased the currency situation greatly. The domestic exchange markets are much more settled and the general acceptance or credit instruments is expected to allow or necessarr business being done penalng tne readjustment of the volume of business to the supply of currency capital. Collections are rather slower, but there has been slight easing in the premium ror actual currency at the East, the runs on the vari ous financial concerns are apparently i thln or the Dast. failures are not so Im portant as In either of the preceding two weeks and the wave of distrust has per- .nntihiv ftirhstded. rendering the work or re- habituation and repair a matter of time onlv. Business failures in the United etatee tor the week ending November 1 numoer tv against 223 last week and 146 in the like week of 1U06. Canadian failures numbered 84 as against 25 last week and 28 in tnis week a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports from the TTnitAH Rtatea and Canada for the week end ing November 7. aggregate 6.459.593 bushels against 4.155.811 this week last year.

WHEAT DULL, CLOSE STEADY DECLINE IX CHICAGO MARKET PARTLY CHECKED. Report That Russian Shipments Will Be Light Causes a Late Rail). CHICAGO, Nov. 8. The wheat market wai Inclined to be dull all day, though prices showed. some strength on fairly active demand by the short a. The market opened rather weak becaus of a fresh advance in the rate of discount by the Imperial Bank of Ger many. In the 15 minutes of trade short bid up the price nearly 1 cent from the low point touched at the opening, but this advance was soon lost on renewed selling:, which was based upon the cloMns price at Liverpool. The mar ket was alao bearlshly affected; by the weak ness of corn. Another rally occurred late In the day on a report that shipments of wheat from Rucsla will be very light during the next three months. The close was steady. December closed ($lc lower at 003fD0c. The Government crop report was the chief factor In the com market. It estimated the total yield of corn at 2,553,732.000 bushels, which is 143.000,000 above the' estimate made by the Government one month ago. . It had been expected that the report would show a smaller yield. A general rush to sell after the publication of the report caused a break of more than I cent from the high point. December closed o lower at t56B8c. Oats were weak on mo de rate selling by longs. December closed KQc lower at Provisions were moderately firm on a fair demand by shorts.

At a time when she needs money badly In her fight for life, Mrs. Dora MoDonald. charged with the murder of Webster Guerin, has forgot ten the hiding: place of ,oou wor.a of bonds given her by her late husband, Michael C. McDonald. This proof of the woman's mental aber ration, cited by her counsel. Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis, was sufficient to induce Judge Bretano yesterday to permit . her case to go over until the December term of court. "The condition of my client is pitiable," said Colonel Lewis. "She cannot talk con nectedly of the events connected with or following the- shootinsr. I have tried to talk to her 50 times that I might be ready for trial but I have not been able to ret a coherent story. "What could be more convincing; that her insanity is real than that she is un able to tell me where she has hidden valuable bonds. Her inability to pro duce these bonds has delayed the settle ment of her husband's estate. She has spoken to me frequently of these lost bonds, and I have done everything in my power unsuccessfully to bring her back to some remembrance of where she placed thern. She does not know the exact value of the bonds, but I suppose it is around $18,000, The bonds are of the Lake-street Elevated Road and other West Side properties in which McDon ald was interested." Chicago Robbed in open court of a am nion fob valued at $1000. Edward Henkln discovered his loss directly after he had ob tained a continuance for a client from Judge Sadler at the Harrison-street Mu nicipal Court. The lawyer believes that a pickpocket got hia fob while he was arguing for delay.
