THE - SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. JANUARY 5, 1903. PRICE HELD DOWN Large Shipments of Onions Prevent Advance. STOCKS BECOME SMALL Quality of Some of "the Crops Makes It Necessary to Dispose of Them 'ov Steady " Movement in the Hop Market. Liberal shipments of onions from this) state fc the California market, together with tome arrivals of Ka stern onlcroa, tend to keep prices down in the Southern state. Statistically the position of the market is good, but the pel line hav been made necejuary by the weather con ditions. Onions that are riot of the best keep ing quality have to be worked off now, and it Is onions of this class principally that -a He moving. The good keepers are being held ta-k and as the supply is rapidly decreas ing, It is evident that better prices must soon be paid. At the meeting of the Confederated Onion Growers Association yesterday the reports submitted showed that only 87 cars of onions are left unsold In Oregon. In the past two eek0 P her wood has shipped six cars, and rven more have been sold in that district, four at fi.70 and three at $1,415. Tualatin hipped one car and 150 sacks locally. Cedar 21111 shipped two cars. Beaverton 421 sacks and Woodburn one car, a total of 12 cars shipped and seven .sold for -immediate ship ment. STEADY MOVEMENT IN OREGON HOPS Trade Is Slow in Washington and California Markets. The movement In the Oregon hop market continues steady with no variations in the price. Advices from Washington report but little doing there and the California market is also slow. The association- movement is progressing in the three states and additions to the membership roll are being secured daily. - E J. Smith, who has been here some time securing consignments of hops, has begun to make returns to the growers. Yesterday he reported to G. P. Gllbertson, of Barlow, and Fred Anderson, of Aurora, the sale of their hops In the East "at lO'-f.c, which they con signed to him some time ago. These figures net the grower Se here. These two lots were of medium rb prime quality, making a full carload and going direct to the brewers, among whom Mr. Smith has a large ac quaintance. He aleo reports t.ie ale of 100 Dale. of 11XMJ hops at tp-jc, netting the grower 41. c here. English trade advices, dated from Decem ber 10 to 18. say of the hop market. Wild, Neame & Co., London A rather more active inquiry during the past week has im parted a better tone to our market, and values exhibit a somewhat firmer tendency. Manger "& Henley, London The trade for good hops continues about the same. In other grades It is of a hand-to-mouth character.. Yearling are neglected. W. H. & H. Le. May, London The lower prices now being accepted for all grades is Inducing consumers', to cover-their require ments, the' rates now ruling beint? below the cost of protection. Such favorable conditions for buying cannot be expected to continue. J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester The de mand for Worcester hos Is on a very mod erate scale and principally supplied out of merchants' stocks at about late rates. The quantity remaining in nwt hands is very limited, and holders are not disposed to force sales at lower prices. SALMON PACK ON FUOET SOUND.

LARGE GAIN IN, CASH Steady Progress Made Toward Ex tinction of the 'Deficiency in the Keserve Loans Reduced $14,000,000. , NEW YORK. Jan. 4. The Financier to morrow will say: A was expected from the preliminary es timates of the movements of money and from other data showing reductions in loans and deposits, the bank statement Issued today was quite favorable in that it indi cated good progress toward the extinction of the deficiency in reserve. This item was reduced to $11,500,550 as the result of an Increase of $8,600,800 In reserve. The cash gain during the week was $8,045,900; this was due largely to receipts from the in terior and It is noteworthy that such re ceipts were larger than in the corresponding periods In the past two years, which is, of itself, a most encouraging factor.fr The re ceipts of gold from abroad and from do mestic sources contributed materially to the above mentioned gain in -cash. Deposits decreased $2,4o9,600 as the re sult of the contraction" In loans and of the augmentation in cash. The required re serve against deposits was $614,900, adding which to the Increased cash made $9.66O,W0 as the gain in reserve as above to $11,509, 550 deficiepcy. Public deposits were re duced $2,500,000 because of recalls thereof by the Treasury. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of public unds a sur plus of $7,568,150 is shown. Loans were contracted $14,822,000; this was caused by the cancellation of loans which had been temporarily effected in the previous week with deposits of funds in the banks preparatory to the distribution, of dividends and interest. It would seem that such payments will be largely increased dur ing the coming week, thus contributing to a further contraction- In loans and If there shall then be a gain in cash, as seems prob able because of arrivals of gold from Eu rope and of a return of -currency from the Interior, the deficiency may be well nigh, If not entirely, extinguished. The statement of the clearing-house banks In detail follows: Increase?

Northern Pacific and Reading Are Still tlie Features Foreign Situation tJnsettled. NEW YORK, Jan. i- Tbe stock market today bad an appearance of being whipped into activity by artificial means, owing to the extreme irregularity and inconstancy of the movements. Upward and downward fluctuations were constant and there were opposing currents in the movement at all times. Northern Pacific was a .focus of the buyipg movement and rumors were revived of a coming extra dividend disbursement on the stock, for which there was no official sanction. Reading, on the other hand, was affected by profit-taking, which was con ducted In an orderly manner, and desisted on the declines in the stock. A number of industrials were prominent for strength, in cluding the coppers. Foreign markets offered no assistance to the advancing tendency here. Berlin report ed some anxiety over the money situation, discount, rate receded, therefore, in spite of the weak return of the Imperial Bank of Germany for the past week. Discounts showed a hardening tendency In London with the repayment of heavy obligations to the Bank of England. The publication by the Treasury Depart ment of the statement of money in circula tion on the first of the year disclosed the continuance of the wide expansion of the circulation of the country in December, the addition for that month reaching $70,748,000. This followed an increase in November of $131,873,000 and in October of $70,000,000. bringing the addition to the circulation, for three monthB up to $272,621,000 and making the total in circulation $3.078,9S9.000. . or $35.4$ per capita, which is the highest per capita circulation -ever reached in this coun try. A good effect was produced by the reports of savings banks authorities that withdraw als after the first of the -year are turning out to be no larger than normal. It was thought possible that intended withdrawals with the expiration of the 00 days' notices after the panic in New York might have been deferred until after the interest period had passed. Anticipation of the favorable bank state ment was a factor in the buying of stocks, but the irregular tone of the market per sisted to the closing. The $8,000,000 gain in cash by the banks Indicates that the dis appearance of the currency premium has brought some money out of hoarding from local resources, as well as starting the in flow of cash from the interior. Tbe de crease in deposits is not as large as the loan contraction would show when offset by the, cash increase and a further cancellation of clearing-house certificates is inferred from this fact. Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value. $1,238,000. United States 2s have declined H per cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. HlKh. Low. Rid.

CLEARANCES ARE LARGE Bullish News Causes a Strong Feel ing in the Chicago Market and Prices Advance Sharply The Coarse Grains Also Higher. . CHICAGO. Jan. 4. Wheat ruled strong all day. The opening was firm because of light receipts in the .Northwest and a marked de crease in the world's shipments as compared with last year. A slight decline, due to real ising sales, followed the opening, but later a rush of bullish news caused a recurrence of the strong feeling. Large clearances, higher prices for cash wheat and increased- demand for export were the chief factors. May wheat opened c higher at $1.071.07 , soM between $1.06- and $1.08 and closed strong at $l.oe(S.1.08. The corn market opened firm because of wet weather throughout the belt, but heavy selling- by holders soon brought about a de cline. On the slump, however, 'renewed spec ulative demand and the -etrength of wbeat brought about a firmer feeling and the mar ket advanced to a level slightly above the close of yesterday. May opened c to c higher at 61-61c. sold between 60c and 61c and closed firm at 6161e. Oats were slow all day and trading was light. May oats opened c higher at 54c, sold between 64 and 55c and closed at 65c. Provisions were lower and firm the greater part of the day.

FRATERNITY WAR BEGINS f Movement to Urlve Them Out of the Chicago Schools. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Otto C. Schneider, president of the Board of Education, It la announced today, will introduce a resolu tion at the next meeting of the board prohibiting the further existence of fra ternities and societies in the city high schools, and makins; membership in them a ground for expulsion of pupils - from the schools. Professor E. G. Cooley, su perintendent of the Chicago schools, is strongly In favor of the proposed action. He said: "The testimony of teachers seems to in dicate that the general moral tone of members is lowered by their experience In this association-; that idleness, expense, trivial conversation, love of display and the spreadvof gossip all go with the fra ternity, and that, in the case of some special boys' organizations, we may add to these the keeping of late hours, ribald language, obscene songs, smoking, drunk enness, gambling and social vice." Since the enactment of the special board rule prohibiting members of : fraternities from participating in school activities and the recent upholding of this rule by the Appellate Court, the organizations have felt their fight to be a losing one, but such drastic action as now contemplated by the school authorities surprises them. What President" Schneider proposes, how ever, is claimed to be in direct line with a score of state decisions and state . en actments made within the past three Indiana and Kansas have prohibited fraternities In the public schools, and in several other states local rules like the one proposed have been up held by the court decisions. Typographical Errors Corrected. OREGON CITY, Or., Dec. 29. (To the Editor.) My communication printed in the magazine section of The Oregonian of this date contains two or three errors which make me appear so ridiculous as a writer that I ask space for their cor rection. In the fourth paragraph I wrote, "No doubt the good father believes that; the whole tone of his letter Indicates that he is an honest man," etc. As printed the semicolon following the word "that" is omitted, and thus my meaning is entirely changed and my language made person ally offensive something I did not intend. The word "that" had reference to a quotation immediately preceding the line in -which it stood, and not to anything that followed it. In the closing lines of another para graph I wrote, "More of the aoul-lnspir-ing lore of ancient Jerusalem and less of the libidinous carolings of old Rome." As printed the word "love" is substituted for lore, and "llbinous" for libidinous. But the last word of my article "cows" instead of "vows." "Only let them 'keep their cows" as though the' priests' jows, If they had any, have anything to do with the subject under discussion. A few minor mistakes appear In the article, such as "of ioys" instead of "the boys," and "men's" instead of "man's," but the reader will detect them without their being pointed out. E. WARNER. Leave9 Farm to M. E. Church. SILVERTON. Or., Jan. 4.
