COMMERCIAL AND
The "weather for the past -week or two,
pr. In iact, throughout the winter, has
3een very unseasonable, and In this re
spect has not been the most favorable
for some lines of huslness. It has been
& good winter for stock-owners -who -were
ehort on feed, and, on the contrary, has
teen bad for producers who have feed
to sell. Dealers In heavy goods which
are needed only In extremely cold weath
er are also complaining some about the
mild weather. On the whole, .however,
there Is not very much fault found in
trade circles. The principal features of
the week's business has been a further
"violent slump in wheat, the May option
in Chicago now "being lower than It has
heen since Just prl8r to the beginning of
the Ielter deal. There is more of a dispo
sition to sell in certain quarters, but there
are very few ships obtainable, and the
business Is nearer to a standstill than
over before at this season of the year.
The high prices for potatoes caused
some very liberal offerings, and shipments
made to San Francisco last week were
eo heavy that the market down there
made a slight break early this week. The
decline was hardly as great as was ex
pected, however, and prices are still rul
ing fairly strong In this city. The egg
market is very weak, but poultry is hold
ing up remarkably welL In fruit, oranges,
which are at their best, now seem to have
the call, and some very fine stock Is on
the market The market is well supplied
with apples, but most of them are rather
poor keepers, and the demand for such Is
not great There Is but little new in the
iop market, transactions being few In
number and of small proportions. The
market is ruling fairly steady, with no
advance. "Wool is sllll very firm, and
tending upward. In groceries, the princi
pal item of interest this week Is on ad
vance of cent in sugar, effective Tues
day. Meat and provisions axe firm at
Quotations.
"WHEAT The wheat market is an unin
teresting subject on which to write at
tha present time. It Is always more of a
pleasure to chronicle good news than bad
news, and, unfortunately, from the stand
point of a grower, there has been but lit
tle else than bad news regarding the
wheat market since the season opened last
Bummer. Hlght from the start, the Pa
cific coast grower has been ground down
between the upper and the nether mill
stone of high ocean freights, and a for
eign market which has been in a state
of chronic weakness almost continually
for the past six months, the only change,
when there was one, being a further
weakening and sinking to a lower level.
Realizing the inability of moving the
wheat at prices which were satisfactory
to the farmers, Portland exporters ceased
chartering ships several weeks ago, less
than half a dozen -engagements being re
ported in the past two months, a period
where, usually from 20 to 30 ships are
taken. Meanwhile, the fleet chartered to
arrive has been dropping in, and in pro
viding them with cargo there has been
come semblance of a market up to the
present time, the demands of these en
gagements keeping the price of the cereal
.generally a shade above the actual export
Value.
From now on there is very little ton
nage to be taken care of, and if the far
mers would not sell at 60 and 62 cents
3aSt fall, it is hardly probable that they
will take the 48 and 50 cents" that is now
offered them, and if not the season of
XSaS-aSW wiU drift' ovar into Its- -snonacsnr
with the largest carry-over stock of wheat
ever held in the Pacific Northwest As
to the futnre of the cereal, there is .a
diversity of opinion. Some dealers state
there will not be much of a pause on
the decline until the price rests at 40 cents
in Portland, and others are Inclined to
think the bottom has been about reached
at the present time. There is the usual
amount of uncertainty about the American
rop that is growing, but every day is
bringing It that much nearer the sickle,
and to date the outlook is most flattering.
Regarding the situation In Umatilla coun
ty, the Pendleton East Oregonlan says:
""The farmer Is hugging himself In the
expectation of a wheat crop that will
be a surprise to the oldest inhabitant,
and the chances are strongly In his fa
vor. Men who have followed the plow
here all their lives and have had all the
opportunities possible of judging the var
ious seasons -as they have heretofore ex
isted, say none have been as favorable as
this one so far. "Wheat sown last fall Is
coming up nicely, the rains have thor
oughly soaked the soli and placed It in
most excellent condition.
"Should conditions later prove as fa
vorable as those now existing, Umatilla
icounty will produce one of the largest
wheat crops in her history'
The reports from other sections In the
interior are equally pleasant and the Cal
,lfornia crop was never in finer shape at a
corresponding period. The foreign buyer
Is keeping in pretty close touch with these
conditions and is taking advantage of
them In bearing the market at the present
time. In this pastime he Is assisted by
continually increasing stocks at nearly all
principal ports and by heavy offerings
of new crop wheat from Australia and
the Argentine. The latter country Is now
harvesting the largest crop on record,
and Is reported selling freely at the prices
which Europe is willing to offer. So long
&b this state of affairs exists, there will
"be but little show for American growers
to realize any better prices for their
wheat In the "Portland market the de
mand for flour Is slackening somewhat
and under keen competition prices have
been cut to 52 50 per barrel. The milling
demand has been of material aid in keep
ing up wheat prices this season, and by
this method a considerable quantity of
otherwise very poor wheat has been dis
posed of at fairly good prices. The statis
tician of the New Tork Produce Ex
change, in analyzing the final report of
the statistician of the department of ag
riculture, showing the crop of 1S93 to be
128,000,000 bushels smaller than that of 1898,
presents some comparative figures, which
show that even with that shortage the
total crop was" so far ahead of the aver
age of recent years that It could not have
much of a bullish effect on the situation.
The Produce Exchange statistician pre
sents the following figures, showing the
Itotal crop for the past six years:

FINANCIAL NEWS
, market Advices, dated January 13, re-
j ceived from a Chicago firm hy a dealer
In this city, contain the following very
Interesting statement regarding some of
the stocks now being carried by the far
mers of the Middle "West:
"Reserves In farmers hands In Minne
sota and the two Dakotas, where the in
visible surplus mainly lies, have been es
timated at 101,000,000 bushels, and while
they are likely to hold over considerable
unless prices advance. It Is natural to ex
pect liberal receipts at Duluth and Minne
apolis after spring seeding, and this,
added to stocks in country warehouses and
the large visible supply, makes, we think,
a material increase in the export demand
necessary to prevent lower prices in the
late spring or summer,"
"WOOL The wool market continues very
firm on this coast with dealers In read
iness to contract for the coming clip at
good prices. There Is such a small amount
of wool still In first hands in the North
west that there are very few transactions
reported, but the market Is strong at quo
tations. In the East a tendency to more
ease Is reported. The New York Journal
of Commerce, under date of January 13,
has the following:
"There is more inquiry in the local wool
market than since the first of the year,
and more transactions are being consum
mated, but It Is far from being a brisk
business. A good deal of wool that has
been charged up on dealers' books Is now
being shipped, and much more will be
dispatched in the next few weeks. "While
it Is the general opinion that there is lit
tle cause for any recession In prices, there
are those who are not" as optimistic about
the future. Some profess to believe that
unless there is considerable increase of
activity before the 1st of February man
ufacturers may be able to obtain wool
at lower figures than those now prevail
ing, but according to authorities there
will undoubtedly be more or less activity
for the next few weeks. Indeed, some
dealers are beginning to show a little
more inclination to dispose of their hold
ings. There have undoubtedly been some
concessions during the last two weeks,
but to call this any evidence is to do the
market as a whole, injustice. A good
many dealers have held thelr'wool out of
the market above what they knew man
ufacturers would pay. Some of these deal
ers have determined of late to sell their
holdings, and in order to do this have
had to recede somewhat In their Ideas,
and have simply put their wools In the
market But on any wools which deal
ers have been willing to sell and have held
accordingly there Is no sign of weakness."
HOPS A few transactions In hops are
reported at prices ranging from 3 cents
to 7 cents per pound. These, of course,
are not for strictly first-class goods, but
even for tho latter there is not very much
demand. The Hopgrowers Association is
reported to have sold a few lots recently,
but diligent Inquiry has failed to reveal
the price at which they were sold. In
the East brewers are reported to be sup
plying their needs at from 9 to 10 cents
for the crop of 1899, with something fancy
selling 1 cent or 2 cents higher. The for
eign market is quiet witnjlght business
reported.
POTATOES Tho last two steamers sail
ing from Portland took out something over
15,000 sacks of potatoes, and there have been
some heavy shipments made by rail to
Arizona and other interior points in the
South,. The San Francisco shipment was
a, triffe too large for the health of the
market which broke slightly at the close
of last week, but the prices still offering
are quite attractive, -as high as SO cents
being paid for fancy Burbanks yesterday,
j while stock raised oh the bottom lands
will still command around CO and 65 cents,
-mere is still a large- quantity Df first
class stock to come forward, but tho de
mand promises to be much better than
during former years, and good prices are
looked for throughout the season,
ONIONS A decidedly wet fall and a mild
winter have combined to spoil large
quantities of onions. The crop harvested
in the fall was a large one, and prices
were weak until a short time ago, when
the market began to stiffen up, and prices
have advanced fully 25 cents per cental.
Best stock is selling today at 51 50 per
cental, and some fairly good onions are
offering at $1 15 per cental. There is a
good shipping demand, and the prospects
are favorable for good-keeping stock to
bring high prices before spring.
BUTTER There is still a very good de
mand for best creamery butter, at 55 cents.
but for common store butter the markei
is decidedly weak. Small shipments are
still being made to San Francisco, la or
der to lessen the drag on this market by a
surplus of such grease, but even this does
not put much life in the market Store
sells down as low as 22U cents per roll,
and dairy around SO and 35 cents per roll.
There Is some demand for shipment to tha
Sound at present but no improvement is
looked for soon.
EGGS The egg market Is still reaching
for a lower level of prices, and yesterday
they were offering in round lots as low
as 17 cents, with from to 1 cent more
obtainable In single case lots. Receipts
are Increasing quite rapidly, and while
there is also an increased demand, It is
not sufficiently heavy to take up all of
the offerings. There Is not much call fot
shipment to the north at the present time-,
and as prices are declining every day m
San Francisco, there is no outlet In that
direction. If the present warm weathei
continues, lower prices are almost cer
tain. POULTRY The poultry market is hold
ing up very well since the holidays. Chick
ens, which were not selling at the best at
Christmas and New Year's, are now in
good demand for the best stock, and sell
up around $4 50 and $5 per dozen for besl
coops of old hens, and large mixed chick
ens will bring' 54 per dozen. Just at pres
ent ducks have the call over everything
else In the poultry line, and the demand
from the Chinese, on account of the ap
proaching New Year's festivities, has been
eo great that prices soar up around $9 and
$10 per dozen. There are but a few days
left though before this demand will cease,
and then a drop will follow. Geese are,
very dull, and some pretty fair stock,
which was carried over from last week,
was offering at $7 and $8 this week. Tur
keys are easy at 14 and 16 cents dressed,
and 12J4 cents live.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Not Much Life Apparent, lint an Un
mistakable Tendency of Strength.
NEW TORK, Jan. 17. The stock market con
tinued dull and without" much, life, but there
was an unmistakable undertone of strength, and
the character of the small buying demand
showed a substantial improvement. Dealings
in the highly speculative industrials still pre
domlrated, but the proportions of the dealings
in them were not eo excessive. There tVas a
notable movement in the Leather stocks early
In the day, but it was not well sustained.
Third Avenue suffered a violent decline of GVi
points, but recovered 3. Otherwise the group
mail I tested strength, under the influence of cov
ering1 by the outstanding short interest, who
were influenced by the general strength of the
market.
Reports of a military success ten! the British
made the London marltet strong, and was re
flected here. The upward course of sterling ex
change ahd exchange on Paris served somewhat
to neutralize the influence in the continued fall
in the English discount rate. The decided im
provement in the bujlng of railroads was con
spicuous in the grangers. Southern Pacific ahd
Baltimore & Ohio, though the latter stock, met
free offerings to realize. The railroads gener
ally benefited sympathetically by this strength.
The St. Paul statement the second week n Jan
uary encouraged buying, in view of the increase
of $311,550 over last year's earnings, which, in
turn, had been greater tfian the year before
by $144,355. The supplementary report of the
Baltimore & Ohio for the six months ending
December 31, 1809, was an influence- of strength
with a surplus of interests and rentals for the
period of $1,210,513. Statements on authority
of the account of the Southern Pacific' stock
by Union Pacific interests helped the market
for railroads. ,
The increased grain? movement, a good export
demand for wheat, and the continued Increase
In the" money supply were all factors of
strength. So- also was the statement of the J
country's foreign business for December. The
preliminary statement of agricultural exports
had shown a decrease from last December of
$20,212,888, and as the total exports for the
month showed a decrease for December of 1808
of only 14,565,481,. the difference Is attributed
to increase in the exports of manufactured
product to the amount of $11,640,935. Taking
the calendar jear as a whole, the decline in
the excess of merchandise exports is about off
set by the decline In excess of gold imports,
leaving the favorable balance of trade About
the same as the year before.
Business in bonas was not heavy, but pricea
were firm. Total sales, $1,225,000. United
States 4s advanced In the bid price.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17". The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says: .
The markets here today were strong on clos-n
Ins of bsar commitments. Consols spurted
1 1-6, Influenced by cheap money and the as
sumption that the news from the Transaal in
the Immediate future would be favorable. Other
wise the markets were idle and of hard tone.
London bought Americans on a. small scale. As
anticipated jesterday, gold was engaged today
for India, 250,000 beln?r takers, while flOO.OOCf
was "ear-marked? ' for the currency oommlB-'
slon. The week's influx of gold.was 5000. More
shipments to India are certain. The country
is trying to secure the gold it requires from
Australia, but th exchang market indicates
that London must bear the whole burden.
Money continues abundant at the rates prevaft-j
Ing during the 'last few days, and bills are,

Boston Stock Slarket.
BC-STON, Jan. 17. The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
The wool market Is quiet, although the vol
ume of .business transacted during the last
week has sllshtly exceeded thdt of the pre
vious week, and during1 "the past two or three
days especially some of the manufacturers
have manifested ya. little more Interest In the
market. But they are not free purchasers of
wool, by any means, and the entire week's
business foot up a. total of less than 3,000,000
rounds As a result of the dullness. exDerl-
p!rfCG& sInoe the freglnnln of last 'December, i
rn&teV of fact It has ,been possible to pur
chase wool In several lnctances at prices sflght
ly below 'the previous selling 'price. In some
cases,4 however, wool has sold at as high prices
as were obtained during- the recent boom. The
London sales, which opened Thursday, -were a
disappointment, as merinos experienced a de
cline of 5 per cent, and cross - breds were
slightly Weaker.
"The sales of the week In Boston amounted
to 2,570,000 pounds domestlo and 305,000 for
eign, making a total of 2,905,000 pounds,
against a total of 2,665,000 for the previous
week, and a total of 2,685,50-' for the corre
sponding week last year. The sales since Janu
ary 1 amount to 8,365,600 pounds, against
0,CC2,000 pounds for the correspondlnff time last
ear.

The Age of Buttons.
Chicago Tribune.
Tho fact that one vNev York woman
has sued another for social services and
Instruction In ways that are upper
worldly points to two important conclu
sions. The first Js that New Yorkers are
still unfamiliar with" the customs of good
society, and the other Is the -more gen
eral one that the commercial cry. usually
employed by camera dealers, "we touch
the button and you do the rest," Is really
the prophetic cry of the age. For not
only can ono procure cooks and house
maids, barbers and tailors at a mere
touch of the button, but one can also
'procure experienced bookmen, who tell
just what books the shelves of every well
regulated family should carry. And now
It is1 no longer necessary to read books
on etiquette and lists of "don'ts" for the
information that these furnish may be
supplied by a social prompter, one who
stands behind the wings of domestic life
and gives the proper cue.
No doubt such an assistant would set
tle the question of clothes, pick out from
a chaos of ties and gloves just the suit
able ones, and restrain the flasliy mind
ed from a too liberal use of color and
jewels. He or she could drill dno in
original speeches to be made to hostesses,
store one's mind with after-dinner witti
cisms and teach one how to look pleased
when bored. A lady could receive pri
vate lessons that would fortify her to
meet possible proposals, and to recognize
the symptoms that foretold such events.
All this information- has formerly been
supplied by the"confidentlal columns in
ladles' magazines, bit,it takes time to
read these, and sometimes the authority
is questioned. But with social prompt
ers always at hand each woman can in
heir time play many parts and make her
exits and entrances In a graceful fash
Ion. , , - . .
