THE JSOENING OEEGOOTAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1900.
n
COMMERCIAL AND.
The -week ending last Saturday -was very sat
isfactory from a commercial standpoint. A
ffood ixrtion. tij the p-vy, stock.-talJlns has
fceen completed, and results have apparently
3u8tlfled TOorctoaata in sending In liberal orders,
tor business with the country has been excel
lent, and In the city no complaints are heard.
Of the jwoducts of the farm, -wheat and hops j
ontirme to be the sufferers, through low prices,
irora which the prospect for recovery are not
os bright as to wouHl like 'to see them. Farm
era with good-sized potato-patches are expcrl
ndSB one of th best seasons on record. Re
ceipts last week -were remarkably heavy, the
steamer Balling IVlday evening taking .15,000
eacks, with another hecwy shipment going out
on the steamer leaving here Saturday evening.
2a spite of these enormous shipments, the San
lYanclsco market is holding up remarkably
woil. and It is fully believed that even should
the heavy shipment-mentioned- cause -weakness
In the Bay city, the loss will be speedily re
salned. The local nwrket was very much ex
cited during last week, end fancy slock was
bid tip as high, as ta cents per sack. The
bulk of the sales, ttoough, were made at lower
rates; "but anything -god -enough for shipping
ld readily around 00 to 75 contd per sack.
There is a little better demand for good ap
ples, which will keep, much of the soft stock
having dl6apeared -from, the market. A few
transactions were reported In hops last week.
Sales reported were not for flrst-class stock,
and prices ranged from 3 to C cents. One
or two sates were made through the Hopgrow
ers' Association, but It is impossible to discover
-what prices were paid. aKhough we are as
sured that they were at an advance over former
quotations, whatever those quotations might
happen to be. The New Tork Journal of Com
merce, -under date of January 0. has the follow
ing regarding the market In that state:
The market Is rather quiet. Brewers are
getting, on old contracts, enough stock to sup
ply their wants, and make new purchases in
differently, despite the lowness of prices that
has prevailed since the opening of the 1699
crop season. Exporters purchases are mod
erate aleo, and tend to tsorsilrm previous reports
that Europe has a good supply.
Last week was pretty severe on dealers, who
Slave been holding eggs for an advance, and
tinder very Mght buying demand and heavyre
ocipts the market melted away from 22& cents
early in the week te weak at 18 at the close
Saturday. Oregon eggs came In so freely last
week that Etistern have been driven from, the
market, fNh ranch Mock In Portland being
cheaper than it was In Chicago. Butter Is
firm for the best grades, and decidedly weak on
poor stock. The poultry markets are in pretty
lair shape, wlith supply and demand about even.
"WHEAT She world's markets for wheat were
Inclined to dullness throughout last week, ex
cept for occeslonal spasmodic jerks in Chicago,
duo to war rumors. In Portland there was a
limited amosnt of buying at figures slightly
above the vaflue of the cereal from an export
standpoint. This was said to be due to some
jjfessing needs for a limited amount to meet
tonnage engagements. Tnese were soon satis
fied, and Saturday the market dropped back
about In line with other markets. Heavy
wheat was still commanding -522 and S3 cents
per bushel Saturday, but for No. 1 but few
care to quote over 52 cent, and the market was
not active In any sense of the word. Paxmera
seem determined to see the rlnlsu of the situa
tion, aodj undismayed by the bright prospects
tor the coming crop, and constantly Increasing
visible supply, are as firm ns ever in their
"belief that tnere must be a recovery- The
6an Francisco market is in about as bad a sit
uation as that in Portland, and in discussing
it the Commercial News says:
Shipowners evidently control the situation,
end exporters cannot me profit out of low
grain prices and high freight rates. The local
market is In bad condition. In addition to our
own large stocks, the north is ncadlng down
considerable light wheat at low prices. Ex
porters have again lowered their prices and
futures have been hammered down to a point
lower than has been seen this season. Trie
outward movement Is decreasing when it should
increase, and good weather is bringing forward
-an exoeUazxL croj -to -bo-p-at -tmr-the Tnarketnn'
June. So far this season 2,139.135 centals
2iave been exported, against 1,073,940 centals
b. year ago.
WKh a pretty good-slsed fleet in port at the
first of the year, shipments since then have
naturally been quite liberal, amounting last
week flour Included) to over 400,000 bushels,
with enough cargoes finishing or ready to finish
to make the totojl for this week even larger.
2?rom present indications the month's shipments
will be fully equal to those of some of our best
years. The freight market continues very firm,
with very little tonnage offering. Nitrate
Xreights are picking up again, and at least two
vessels irWdi had been listed for Portland
have been diverted to the west coast for nitrate.
No new-crop business was reported last week,
owners being most extravagant In their ideas,
considering the vast possibilities for material
changes in the situation between now and next
harvest.

NEW TORK STOCK MARKET.
Favornble Bank Statement Admits of
Considerable Profit-Taurus'.
NEW TORK. Jan. 13. The strictly profes
sional limits of trading on the stock exchange
were -well illustrated by the almost complete
obliteration of the mornings advance In the
movement to take profits after the appearance
of the bank statement. Tnls exhibit was In
Itself a favorable one, ae were all the other
Incidents of the day, and it conformed closely
to the preliminary estimates on which the buy
ing bad been based. The oelllng; to take profits
was responsible for the advance In prices and
was, per contra, sufficient to bring prices back
to about the starting point.
The activity In Sugar certificates continued,
the price rleing an extreme 3 points against
the shorts, whose coverins demand helped on
the ad-anoe. The bears quickly detected the
realizing after the bank statement, and forced
Sugar down 4?i points. Brooklyn Transit
and Tobacco showed close sympathy, and some
ether speclaltks lost a point or over. A de
cline "of 1 In Xew York Central showed
same special pressure sgamst the stock. Other
wise gains had been fractional, and the reac
tion did not exceed them. There was some
selling for London account, as prices rose above
the London parity. A fractional recovery In
London discount rates, ana a jump of 3 pfen
nigs on exchange rate at Berlin were without
explanation.
The bank statement fully accounts for the dis
position of New Tork bankers to place time
loans at present rates, and their reappearance
as buyers of commercial paper. The decline
in money rates is also bringing renewed de
mand for railroad bonds rrom some of the great
Insurance companies. Some heavy Individual
transactions in bonds are recorded. The cen
tral fact In the situation In the stock market
Is that the buying demand is listless and nar
row, and without stimulation by any favorable
developments in the immediate outlook. Even
the investment buying has almost ceased, either
because prices are above an attractive level or
because the available fuivJs from dividend or
Interest disbursements have found Investment.
Investment buying does not in Itself serve
to advance prices greatly, but It has a large
sentimental effect, as it insures the constant
diminution of the floating supplj: of stocks held
merely for an advance In price.
The market has suffered from the demoraliza
tion in special stocks, in addition to the with
drawal of the Influence of Investment. There
has been besides selling for London account,
which was only discontinued when the reduc
tion in the discount rates or the Banks of Eng
land, France and Germany gave confidence In
the reality of the relaxaalon In money rates.
The volume of foreign selling was not large,
and would have been easily absorbed in an or
dinary movement for an advance; but as the
foreign selling grew out of the needs of the
London money market and served to Increase
the pressure for gold in New Tork, there wan
no disposition to hold up prices to afford a
market for London sellers to make profits. Not
withstanding the small demand for stocks, the
eupply was scarce, and railroad stocks have
responded, quiciuy all week to any sort of buy
ing demand.
The market gives evidence of liquidation of
special holdings of stocks. Statements of the
New Tork clearing-house banks, as well as
those of the great foreign banks, show that
(speculators the world oier have been selling
-"-. """"'t w- j nib, i"- ivuaj juju. Awuiiara.w
lng from the field. Many commission-houses
and brokerage offices in Wall street, which
found busy occupation all of last year, have
ceased p Invite custom, pending the develop
ment pnew. factors In the "outlook. This
closmgut '6f accounts, now safely attained,
has invoh-edjjjome heavy losses, -and no small
bitterness of splritv' which is reflected In the
discussion by brokers of industrial combina
tions and their flotations In a spirit far from
complmentary. This feeling was deepened by
the strong official Intimation at the stockhold
ers' annual meeting of the American Sugar
Beflnlng Company, that the business was not
profitable in the present sense of new compe
tition, and that dividend," would jprobably be
reduced or suspended during the coming year.
Professional operators, therefore, fell tooth and
nail upon the Sugar certificates, as well as' other
industrial stocks, and sold them by the thou
sand shares.
The railroad list did not escape entirely, but
was much less affected. The low price of the
dividend-paying Industrials, bringing the rate
of return -in some cases up to 8 per cent or
over, reflects the rating of the risk In folding
these stocks.
The beginning of dividends on the 'common
stocks of me of them has failed to elicit any
advance in price, and the preferred stocks of
the companies have Bhowa a. tendency in such
cases to decline, as having the safety of their
dividends Impaired.
There is an element In "Wall street who preach
the doctrine that the country has reached the
crest of prosperity. They cite in evidence of
this the marked diminution of the grain and
cotton movements, compared with last year,
and point to the comparatively small Increases
In gross earnings of raUroad3. "While these
show last year's earnings well maintained, last
year's prosperity has already been reflected In
prices, and higher prices depend on Increased
prosperity, rather than ou the maintenance of
the present level. High prices of commodities
jare Jikdy to curtail the demand. Adances In
railroad rates now being enforced lead to fal..
ing off In the volume of traffic. Increased cost
of material makes encroachment '-en net earn-
lngs by enhancing the cost of operation. Such
are some of the reasons assigned b' capitalists
and operators In securities for their Mslncllna
tlon to put money into stocks at presenN They
prefer to wait developments. The increased
cost of operation la particularly noticeable In
the case of, some of thjj high-priced rallroAd
stocks, whioh maintained thejr dividends
through the period of depression by economy
of operation.
On the other hand, some of the railroads
which have passed through bankruptcy and
reorganizing, show the effect of the large out
lay of funds acquired la reorgaalzatloa for per
manent betterments and improved equipment
during the period of low prices for material in
present reduction of operating expenses, to the
advantage of net earnings.
The market for bonds has been small, but
prices were well maintained. United States

NEW YORK SMXANCES.
An Increase of Over Five Millions In
tlie Surplus Reserve.
NDW YORK, Jan. 13. The Financier says;
The New Tork bank statement for the week
ending January 13 was een betttv than It had
been expected. The surplus reserve Increased
almost ?5,0C0,C00, and the excess above legal
requirements now stands at $10,707,351, a sum
greater thin: the banks have reported sinco June
24 last, although In August the total wsiq al
most as high. As the deposits during the -week
remained almost stationary, the entire cash re
ceipts "of the week went to swell theldle cash
In banks, thus accounting for the unusual ex
pansion. The liquidation that occurred on the
stock exchange Is reflected in the decrease of
$1,538,900 in loans. The statement does not
balance, but there Is no question that the po
sition of the banks Is een stronger than re
ported, for Interior receipts Increased largely
at the close of the week. The gain was almost
entirely from the interior, the exports of specie
to Europe the previous Saturday counterbalanc
ing the treasury receipts.
The banks, in fact, are training as rapidly in
surplus this month, as was the case a year
ago, with the exception that the expansion in
cash now counts altogether, in surplus reserve,
whereas a year ago reserve liability occasioned
by the loan and deposit Inoreast3 were locking
up from ?3,000,000 to $.1,000,000 weekly. For
example, the deposits of the 'banks during the
month of January rose almost $78,000,000, while
loans expanded 523,000,000. The reserve re
quirements were, thcrerore, over $14,000,000
heavier; but, despite this fact, the surplus re
' serve actually gained $18,000,000. Tills year,
so far, loans have risen less than $2,000,000,
deposits only a little over $9,000,000, while the
excess reserve Is less than SffJOO.OOO- heavier.
The expansion therefore, 'this year does not
compare with that cf a jear ago, although tlie
gain in reserve is on a plane that nearly equals
that which occurred last year. It is not to be
overlooked in this connection that the banks
last December and January were? not losing gold
to Europe, as has been the case lately. These
facts go to show why with everything favoring
speculative activity, a movement of that na
ture has been impossible. The banks have
not been in a position to provide the money,
even had the incentive, been- of the strongest.
The weekly bank statement Is as follow.:
Surplus reserve. Increase ....$4,949,025
Loans, decrease 1,088,900
Specie, Increase 1,101.400
Legal tender 3,708,800
Deposits. Increase 331,400
Circulation, Increase 82,300
The banks now hold ?1C,707,3D0 in excess of
the legal requirements.

vertiser's London financial cablegram saje:
Business in the markets here today was very
Email, but thfe tone was excellent, based on
nopes oi gwu unva iroia me iransvaju, wnicn
the professionals began to anticipate In mar
kets bare of stocks. Consols were up , and
led the rise. Cheap money helped the cheerful
feeling. American securities shared in the
Improvement, but the trading was In small
proportions. No gold Too received' or engaged.
Money rates continued easy, at yesterday's
ratee, and bills wero scarce. Large money
balances are unemployed, but the gold position
Is still watched with some- concern. Silver was
strong. The market is nervous, watching
French tenders today, which may continue for
tme time, though not so long as last year.

' CHICAGO, Jan. 13, The wheat market, like
tho fat. boy of Pickwickian fame, took naps on
every poeolblo occasion) today. Feeling was
generally bearish, but trade "was so small that
nothing of any account resulted from the senti
ment. Scalpers, when any trade was done,
were the ones who did It. May opened a shade
up, at 07679ic. because Liverpool Dhowed
c advance. Following this. May eesed off
to 07S07c Light primary receipts and
fair clearances, together with some miscel
laneous reports of damage by Insects, furnished
sufficient support to carry the market up a bit.
May touching 079407c Those who could
took email profits at this point, and the market
eased off again. The close was barely steady,
May c over yesterday.
As offerings from first hands were no larger
and the weather not favorable for the move
ment, the corn market remained firm, but
quiet, and handled 'mostly by scalpers. May
closed a shade over yesterday, at' 3333'c.
Oats were steady ana" fea-tureleeai ' May closed
unchanged, at 24c '
The provision market ruled firm at a trifle
under yesterday's prices. Trade was generally
dull. May pork olesed 2i45c under yesterday;
May lard, unchanged; May ribs, 2!c lower.
