THE MORNING OBEGONIAH, THURSDAY, MJANUAgY, 4, ,190QV 11 OMMERCIAL AND The market situation for the new year shows but lew changes ln the general a3 pect from that -of the year just closed. The same factors which had a tendency to hamper trade at the close o 1899 are still In evidence, there being no improvement In either the wheat or the hop markci, but, on the other hand, there Is a decided ly firm market for other farm products, and this is having a gcod effect on trade The lumber business was never better, all of the mills running full time, with orders way ahead. The new mining districts are also causing a big demand for staple goods from a quarter that figured but slightly m the situation last year. Wool, potatoes, hay and fruit are all bringing good prices. This week veal and pork are both mov ing more freely at better figures than last week. There was hardly enough poultry to meet the New Tear's demand, and stocks cleaned up so well that the market is in good shape this week. Butter Is firm, and eggs are weak in spite of a slacken ing in Eastern receipts. WHEAT The wheat market made a bold stand on the first business day of the year; the visible decreased, and un favorable crop reports from certain sec tions acted as decidedly bullish factors, so that the Chicago market moved up nearly a cent. Liverpool reflected some of the strength in the quotations on futures a day later, but the cargo market remained un changed yesterday. The local market has been at the mercy of the shipowners for so long that it Is comparatively unaffected by reports from the outside world. A local circular, which is modestly termed byhe proprietor "the only grain paper on the ebsast," sought to add to the gayety flJSauons by wiping out of existence 4,000, 000 bushels of the 1899 grain crop in the Xorthwest on the pretense that it was off Crade. Even this failed to advance prices, but it eliminated from the situation about half of the abnormal surplus of the 1837 and 1E98 crops, which the editor of the "only," eta, has been carrying under his hat for a couple of years. With this pres sure removed from the market, wheat should have moved up about "steeri" cents per bushel, out it did not. There is still a fairly good demand for 2tfo. 1 Walla Walla, at 52 cents, and for heavy stock more has been paid. There Is a considerable quantity of light wheat offering at much lower prices, and some of it is now going South to-be worked off with the California crop, which is a largo one, and of superior quality. For Valley there Is less demand than for Walla Walla, the Liverpool market showing a de cided aversion to this variety of wheat, and everything that is worked In that market will probably have to be handled by sample, unless a new grade, which jneets with the approval of the foreigners, 1b fixed. The export demand, for bluestem is checked slightly, and the prices paid this week are lower than those which were quoted last week. A good article can still be worked for 54 cents, but for the aver age run of offerings, 53 is the ruling price. The freight situation shows but little change. It is a difficult matter to put 0-shllllng ships and 52-cent wheat togeth er and make money by the operation, and dealers prefer to keep out of the market until they can operate either at a profit or without a loss. There is still a large amount of wheat at tidewater, nearly enough to take care jof all of the ships itrport, and untn more are chartered "the needs pf the exporters are not pressing. The only engagements reported for the past week have been for a couple of .February-March ships, which were taken at SSs Sd and 40s. The statistical position of freights continues very strong, and the n route list presenting a more attenu ated appearance than haa been apparent at a corresponding ilate in many years. The London Standard, in discussing the situation abroad, sayB: The wheat market remains in an ex tremely dull condition, and there is no doubt that the disappointing course of the trade since the commencement of the war has led to serious losses. There never was a time, perhaps, when the wheat market was in so abnormal a condition. There is no real pressure of supplies; stocks in United Kingdom ports are certainly a good deal larger than they were at this date In any of the three previous years, which were seasons of short stocks; but the pres ent total stock in first hands viz., 2,350 000 quarters is about 500,000 quarters below the average of the six years ending 1E95. On the other hand, the quantity afloat for the United Kingdom is now less than it has been for at least 10 years, being, in fact, about 800,000 quarters below the aver age of the past decade. The cause of the present weakness in the market, with the price of English and Argentine wheat at 25s to 26s per quarter, is evidently a financial one. Dear money, especially in America, renders it difficult to carry stocks, and in that country it is clear that there is a pressure to sell on this account. The next Important factor in fluencing' the wheat market is the expec tation of another large crop in Argentina, where the harvest is unusually early, and where at present it is expected that the yield may equal last years excellent out turn. In the past year, it may be noted, Argentina has assumed tne second place in the list of the world's wheat exporting countries. WOOL There is such a small amount of wool still unsold la this state, that the taarket is rather quiet, in spite of the de cided firmness elsewhere. Small lots still -unsold, though, are occasionally picked up at quotations given, but a shade above these figures is occasionally paid. The sno&t Interesting review ef the wool situa tion for the past year that has reached ue Is the annual report of Jacob Wollner, of San Francisco. It bears the date of December 28, and is as follows: On the 1st of January, 1899, we had in this market, 17,000,000 pounds of wool, be sides some 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 pounds in the country. Soon after the first of the year "& .demand sprang up for all kinds of wooL Scouring mills took advantage of the low prloes of wool and commenced buying It up, and the best wools found ready sales, although at low prices. When, spring shearing commenced the ,outlook did not seem bright, so growers accepted the situation and sold their old holdings and new clips at tho low prices then prevailing. About May the market commenced to advance on account of the demand in Eu ropean markets for American wool and Also a demand from manufacturers who M&& good orders for light weights. The European market also advanced, as fine wools were scarce all ocer the world, ex- cept In America, and as the manufactur ing of woolen goods revived it, had the tendency to Increase the demand for wool. From that time on until the first of No vember, the market advanced from 6 to 10 per cent per month, and territory wools which sold the 1st of May, In Boston, at SG cents, commanded 65 cents in the early part of November, and are worth now from 72 cents to 73 cents the scoured pound. Other wools, of course, followed the ad vance of fine territories. Coarse wools, which were neglected to within the last two months, took a sudden rise and ad-S-anced at least .25 per cent. The old stock which had been carried from the free-tariff times, and that which accumulated from the stagnation in trade in 1898, has all been worked off, and today we stand on a solid basis, as we have no snore wool in the United States than we cea use. In fact, If tho heavy-weight sea- i FINANCIAL NEWS son, which will open nest month, will re- spond to the generally prosperous condl tlon of the country, and the stringency of the money market, which makes the wool trade rather quiet at present. Is relieved, we cannot only expect that wool will not be lower, but will materially advance, as we cannot Import fine wools under the present tariff, as foreign wools which :ati be profitably used In manufacturing In" this country have advanced 80 per cent In Eu ropean markets this year. The production of wool in California In 1899 can only bo estimated, as some of the growers had from two to five clips on hand. I estimate the clip at 22,000",000 pounds. Tho stock on hand in this market today amounts to 5,000,000 pounds. Owing to the drought in 1898-99 a great many sheep left this state, and I think the 1900-clip will nbt exceed 20,000,000 pounds. POTATOES Choice Burbanks sold for 80 cents yesterday, and within 10 to 20 cents of this figure can be secured for anything that is good enough to ship. The shipping demand this season 4s not confined to San Francisco, und points In the south, but at the present time Puget sound, Gray's harbor and Alaska are all in the market, and heavy shipments are being made to all of these points. The crop is a large one, but some of the stock shows the effects of too much of a growth during the wet weather, and Is obliged to suffer a material reduction in price. BUTTER Beat grades of creamery but ter are still quite firm at 5c, but the supply of common store butter is appar ently unlimited, and It is a drug on the market at prices ranging down as low as 22c per roll. The last steamer arriving from Tillamook brought a. very small consignment, and this Is largely respon sible for the firmness In best grades, as they had been well sold up In anticipation of liberal receipts from the coast port. There is considerable Eastern butter on tho market, and It is offering af.a-ll kinds of prices. EGGS Tho egg market continues de cidedly weak, in spite of the cleanlng-up of most of the fairly good Eastern stock. Receipts continue heavy, and even at the comparatively moderate price of 20 cents per dozen there is no brisk movement of stocks. An effort was made yesterday to advance the price to 21 cents, but after the dealer -who attempted the task bad missed half a dozen sales, he dropped the price back to 20 cents, and still had eggs on hand at the close of business last evening. The few Eastern ystill in the market are mostly cold-storage stock, and 17c-ls the -ruling figure. POULTRY Turkeys have elthen been well cleaned out of the country or else their owners are holding them oyer until next season. There was not nearly enough to go round for the New Tear's trade, even at the highest prices of the season, and since that time receipts have been so light that even the easy demand that always follows the holidays was hardly satisfied. Sales of dressed were made yesterday as high as 17c for fine stock, but for ordinary about 15o to 16c is the price. Live are In poorer demand propor tionately, and the ruling figure Is around 12c and 18c Choice, well-conditioned chickens are also firmer, and H 50 per dozen is readily obtainable for the best, with the price ranging down as low as $2 75 per dozen for common stock. Ducks are scarce, owing to a demand from Chi natown, and $6 per dozen is freely paid. Geese are slow at Jtf& per dozen. MEAT AND PROVISIONS Prices have firmed up materially. Dressed hogs are moving at 5&c, with a shade more possi ble for something fancy. eVal is in excel lent demand at unchanged quotations. Packing-house products have shown un usual activity for this season of the year during the past week, and in the East prices have materially advanced. East ern packing-house centers have been drawn on very heavily by tho English market, and the packing of hogs will show a shortage of over 700,000 at the end of the packing season. Late advices from the East show the following changes, which will undoubt edly be reflected by the coast markets within a few days: Lard A good business was reported in the market, and prices advanced c Dry salt and smoked sides Ordered rather freely, and prices c higher. Backs, butts and English bellies Ad vanced c HamsQuite a good business was trans acted in hams, and prices are c higher, with prospects for a further advance. Picnics and shoulders Sold In moder ate quantities, prices unchanged. Bank Clearixurs, Exchanges.

SBW YORK STOCK MARKET . ,1 5 Reactionary Movement Too Strong-, and Many Losses Scored. " " NEW YORK", Jan. X. Tne stookWarkct' today was unable to resist the factors working to wards reaction, and closed at 'losses both for specialties and In the railroads, running from 1 to 4 points. A selling disposition was mani fest from the opening, In sympathy with "the earlier declines In the London market, and the downward tendency was resisted. A number of the Industrial stocks advanced la a somewhat excited manner in the first hour, and Induced sympathetic hardening df-pricesiAU through tbe list. Consolidated Gas Jumped 8 points on the report of Its absorption of an electric-lighting company, and Incidental advantages in the local gos war. American Tobacco rose an extreme 5 points, and the Continental Tobaccos were strong. Sugar showed a disposition to continue Its ad vance, and some of the Iron and steel stocks maintained yesterday's show of strength In the group. Later In the day there was ar vigorous upward movement in Uew York Cental, with a slight sympathetic response in other Vonderbllt stocks. The Isloated points of strength In the market, however, proved entirely Insufficient to sustain prices In face of the constant dribbling of "sales for foreign account and these for local account, which were sentimentally Influenced by the weakness abroad. A rumor was circulated that Ladysmlth had capitulated to the Boers. The effect was sig nificant of what may be expected from the se curity market in case of further reverses to the British arms In South Africa,- for traders who were long of Btocks hastened to take their profits, In face of the possibility Involved. Tlfel later news of the day made it clear that the real source of the day's weakness was" 'Berlin5. Selling from that center in Indon'"'aa.t''o,f American securities in New Ybrk'-wae'oh a lafee scale. It waa based on the weekly returnt' the German Imperial bank, which -showe"d a loss of $10,500,000 In cosh, a loan-.expansl6n In face of this drain pf $2,SOO,Q0O, and anaddl tlon to the notes In circulation, of upwards'tof $39,0p0,000, was on exhibit of pressure -for cred its In Germany, which served, rather to startle the financial world. The effect was not ap parent, however, in the Berlin discount market, and sterling exchange advanced at Berlin, In spite of a further decline In "Interest rates In London. Berlin exchange In New York, how ever, rose a sharp fraction. The stocks which were strongest yesterday did not entirely lose their gains of yesterday, but In the case of the Baltimore & OhJo qtocks, Pa- Inroads Tyere made lvalues.

There' Is no Question but thalAmericap, sentiment ly turning Boer-Wttrji,-,, 'Wliert, $& teadcofi''' thelnwonderf ul achievements In tbejr war wltlj England an4 with what comparative ease they turn back the Invading Brjtops, we cannot help but fel a thrill of admiraoij for. them.

They command our respect and good wishes. It can be safely said that nine out of every 10 Americans would like to see the f British whipped in this war. The writer has not found a single person that really wished England good luck In the strug gle. England cannot win. She cannot throw enough troops Into the Transvaal to whip the Boers. And when the struggle 13 over, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State will be entirely Independent. The chances are that she will be driven from the Cape and 'will not hold one inch of South African territory except such ports as come under the range of the guns of her warships. England is being badly humiliated. The glory of her army haa departed. There are several defeats that she has Bjuffered, within the !asfc three months that would be called "routs," if the blue pencil of the censor at Cape Town would, allow facts to come through. On the contrary, the Boers have shown Indomitable courage and wonderful Inge nuity. To say that their armies are commanded by foreigners Is a mistake, for foreign military men have not evolved the strategic ability that the Boer com manders have displayed. But great things are to "be expected of the Boers. Their splendid ancestry Holland and. Huguenot Is a sufficient guarantee of their ability. They may be called the aristocrats of Africa, and could in the same breath bo be colled the bluo blood of the world. It Is about time that the gross and al most criminal Ignorance of the Americans regarding the Boers be dissipated. And the opinion of the American people is changing rapidly In favor of, the 'brave Sbutih African republics as ouri people be come more and better acquainted with them. f this war continues much longer, there wlU be a wave xf Indlgriarldn pass over" America against England that, will equal the Indignation of this country against Spain at the beginning of our late war., E?r England, has at last thrown off the mask and .acknowledges $$-t "Ker'a'b sjurd demands, uppn Paul Kruger were nb,t from humanitarian reaso.n,sf and .liberty, but for supremacy In Africa!) e, rt From a purely financial standpoint, America should favor the,, Transvaal. When the war la ended, everything that belongs to England in that country will be confiscated. The people- of tho- Trans vaal and Orange Free State -are not min ers by nature and they will most likely turn the mines over to those who have proved their friends during the war now going on. Paul Kruger has always con sidered the Americans his best 'friends, ( and1 If 'wo so prove' ourselves noHr, y (Jan aaK almost any iavpr ana receive, it. .now different the attitude qf England.

The humor of a "comic sqng is at best, so ephemeral In Its alluslveness'-hat strict comparison between the laughter-breeding ditties of bygone times and those of today Is out of the question. "Hot Cod lins" and "Tlppltywitchet" appear child ish enough now In all conscience, but probably not more so than will jingles of the "Tarara-boom-de-ay" order to our own great-grandchildren. Pantomime humor has ever been lacking In the savor to keep It sweet. Here, for Instance, Is, a taste of the quality of a comic song, set to music by Shield and sung by Ed win In the character of a hunchbacked barber. In "Harlequin Rambler," the Co vent Garden annual of 1784. It must have enjoyed some vogue In Its day, for It was published separately by Bland, of Hol born at the moderate price of sixpence.
