THE MORNING OREGONIAN, .MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1900.
n"
COMMERCIAL AND
, Spring trade was very much In evidence dur
ing tho latter part of last week, and 11 the
new month maintains the commercial pace with
which it started. It will make a much more t
favorable showing than Its predecessor. Ship
ments o wheat were quite large laat week,
and there will be a fair amount moved during
the next 10 days; but after that time there
will be a period of light business, on account
of a scarcity of ships, and tho disinclination of
holders to meet the prloes warranted by the j
Liverpool markets. The springlike weather
had the effect of reducing prices In some Unea,
and potatoes have declined to about the loweat
point reached in three months; with receipts
holding up fully as large as they have been any
time this eeaaon. Shipments to California are
running from 10,000 to 15.000 sacks per steamer,
and the San Francisco market does not absorb
them as readily as It did a short time ago.
Oregon butter could no longer withstand the
pressure of the stock which California has been
dumping on this market, and at the close of
the week prices declined to 50 cents for best
grades of creamery, with seconds dull at 45
cents. Nearly all of the receipts of Califor
nia have been sold at lees money than they
cost laid down In Portland, and unless prices
should go much lower in San Francisco, there
will be but light receipts from that quarter
from now on. Eggs shared In the weakness
of butter, and prlcea declined all through last
week, and on Saturday sales were made as low
as 11 cents, with prospects favorable for their
reaching 10 cents this week. Veal and pork
were a shade weaker on more liberal receipts.
A few spring lambs came In last Saturday,
and sold at prices almost too high to quote.
In the grocery markets prices ruled Ann
throughout last week, although there was a
slight disturbance In package coffees.
"WHEAT With no more ships In port to fill
and most of those anywhere near at hand pret
ty well provided for, wheat In Portland seems
Inclined to drop back to about export values,
and on Saturday 52 cents was about the best,
quotation for "Walla "Walla, with a few deal
ers giving out 61 cents as the limit. The
European market toward the close of the week
failed to present many encouraging aspects,
and with continued stiffness in freights, there
la very little Inducement for exporters to do
anything at present. The demand for flour
continues heaT. and the mills axe accordingly
buying a little all the time, but the sales In
the aggregate last week were less than half as
large as they were the week .previous. Valley
continues to trail behind Walla Walla, and It
required pretty good stock to bring 52 cents oa
Saturday.
Reviewing th nltuatlon from, an Eastern
standpoint, the American Agriculturist last
Saturday has the following:
Speculative Interest has been listless, opera
tors apparently waiting for new Incentive.
Little can be said of crop conditions, anything
along this line being little better than guess"
work, so far as the Northern Hemisphere la
concerned, during the month of February. In
our own winter wheat territory we know the
crop has been Indifferently protected, and there
lo plenty of time for frost damage. The month
of March will prove an Interesting one, and con
ditions will bo closely watched.
Our export trade In wheat and flour Is con
siderable in the aggregate, but just now seems
powerless to help prices much. It la inter
esting to note, however, that while the market
shows more or leas dullness and occasional
periods of heaviness, there Is no concerted ef
fort on the part of bears to force prices to a
lower level, the market meanwhile maintaining
something of a waiting attitude. Cable ad
vices bring forth few developments, of special
importance. Argentina has a considerable part
of her crop still to ship to Europe, but other
wheat-producing countries are not Just now
particularly forceful competitors of the Ameri
can producer. Crop conditions on the continent
of Europe are somewhat uncertain, news often
conflicting. Some recent advices continue to
insist that crop conditions in India are bad.
But that country has not been an important
exporter of wheat In recent years.

CHICAGO. March 3. Wheat In the wheat
pit bullish feeling was awakened early by the
firmness of Liverpool and further encouraged
by the strength of Paris, and reports cf a se
vere frost In France. There was considerable
pessimistic talk concerning domestic crop dam
ages. The report of statisticians now, making
.farmers' holdings of wheat 40.000.000 bushels
less than a year ago, was also an Incentive to
buyers, who In some Instances overlooked the
fact that last year excepted, the quantity npw
In reserve is the largest since 1894. With this
encouragement, and backed by reports of 300,
000 bushels cash business done here yesterday,
shorts hurried to cover. Foreigners and the
Northwest were also buyers here, and the trade
generally became animated. May opened a
shade up, at G5065c touched C5c and
then rallied to GSTiffCCc The bulge was met
by proflt-taking sales, which caused a break to
C5Hc, but the market recovered quickly. May
ascended to CGgJc. and closed strong, HS
over yesterday, at 63T$0GGc
Com was heavy. Country offerings were a
bit freer from some sections. The estimates of
snow, making reserves of corn 151.000.000 bush
els over last year, had a depressing effect.
Longs liquidated throughout the session. May
closed weak, "&0-"Hc lower.
Oats were barely steady, the weakness of
corn having a depressing effect- May closed
unchanged at 23-js023tc
Provisions enjoyed a fair trade, and held
steady. The com weakness was felt- somewhat,
but as packers were fair buyers, and offerings
were not large, the price did not suffer. May
pork closed 5c up. May lard, ' Unchanged, and
May ribs, a shade higher.

MORPHINE HABIT PENALTIES
The "Most Destructive of Modern'
A'erve Diseases.
Boston Herald.
That the morphine "habit is increasing
among tho people of this country there
is no doubt. Physicians, druggists and tho
importers and dealers themselves attest to
this. In one city 50 per cent of all the
morphine used is purchased by persons
who use it without a physician's order.
The habit is usually acquired through
the victim having first taken the drug to
allay pain or discomfort. ,
The fascination of tho change from pain.
distress and insomnia to quietness, com
fort and sleep Is very lntenae, and over
comes all reason and Judgment. After a
short timo of repeated us.e of morphine the
reason is obscured. First the higher ethi
cal brain succumbs, and all sense of right
and wrong slowly disappears.
The failure of veracity is the first symp
tom. This goes on to extreme lengths. As
sociated with it is egotism, which grows
with the degeneration of the victim. Often
this is the most prominent sympton. Se
cretlvcneas and cunning also Increase to
an astonishing degree.
Some of the most dangerous among
forgers nnd confidence men are morphine
takers. Fortunately, the period of great
mental acuteness along these lines is of
short duration. The unstable brain state
does not permit any continuous line of acts
to be performed with equal cunning and
Judgment. While the secretlveness lasts,
together with 'the low cunning and selfish
nees, it is found after a time that the
reasoning faculties become benumbed, so
that they cannot originate or adapt them
selves to new conditions.
During its first five years tho morphino
habit is often practically unnoticed. The
patient may be a little odd in some re
epects more bright or dull at one time
than at another, or perhaps now sensitive
and again indifferent. His ordinary occu
pation may be carried on without notice
able changes. His habits will deteriorate,
nnd ho may explain them as due to some
physical condition.
Later, however, more marked changes
appear. The business man becomes un
reliable and changeable, and the aociety
woman develops a taste for slander and
exhibits unusual emotional changes, and
Anally retires from society. The workman
becomes unfit nnd uncertain, nnd is dis
charged, or maybe detected In some dis
honest transaction. The failure of tho
"higher brain takes away the former con
sciousness of duty and respect for law
and order. Impulses to. steal become very
prominent In some cases. Immoralities of
all kinds and eeneless intrigues follow.
Childish lying and foolish concealment,
with egotistical boastings, are often com
mon. Sometimes these faults are associated
with much acuteness," and the writings of
some authors have been marked by deli
rious imaginations and egotistical concep
tions which for their strangeness and nov
elty have been considered original. Curi
ously enough, these productions are not
uniform and vary widely. They are rare
ly on the same key or of the same quality,
and have a decidedly Insane tinge.
Many morphine takers, having good con
stitutions, are able to use the drug for
many years and partially to conceal tho
habit. They are likely, however, to be
come Invalids, or to seek seclusion, and
the erratic character of their bruin work
nnd reasoning suggests the disturbances
polng on. Others become greatly broken
down, or Imbeciles, criminal?,, tramps or
paupers, and eventually die of some inter
current disease.
It Is a fact not well known that p. con
siderable proportion of the crimes and
business failures which dkturb the world
are the result of the secret use of mor
phine. Scandals In society. intrigusst di
vorces, stupid, unreasoning acts among
persons of previously average pense. are
often due to this same causo. Tramplsm,
pauperism, prostitution and many other
evils are very often associated with the
use of morphine and excesses of other
drugs. In most cases the use of nar
cotic drugs has preceded these conditions.
In some cases the use of liquor leads 'to
Indulgence In drugs. The narcotism which
comes from beer and spirits very often
finds fir Ircreaaed pleasure and relief In
miphine. nnd hence turns to It.
Moron-rlFir- is the most fatal and de
sttrctive of modern nerve diseases, and
when err contracted Is with great dlfll
eulv escaped from.

Baltimore Sun.
New York. Feb. 24. Carl S. Bltner,
steward of a German labor union, was a
prisoner In Morrisania Police Court today
because he persisted in refusing to Fend'
his boy Carl. 12 years old. to tho public
school?, in violation of the compulsory
education law.
The "boy recently attended public school
No. C2. His teacher pave as a dictation
exercise an extract from Longfellow:
Let us do our work well, both the unseen and
the reen:
Make the house where God may dwell beautiful,
rntlre and clan.

speak or write the"word,as "there was no
j mich thing." The teacher aent him home,
j In court, Bltner said this was the third
j time he nad been compelled to take his
J children away from the public schools
because the teachera insisted on religious
teachings. He said he was an atheLst and
did- not want his children to "learn mm
sensical Ideas." Magistrate Duel told Blt
ner if ho did not send the lad to school
ho would have him arrested again. Bltnef
consented to let tho boy go.
"THE BEST JAN..- .
tloe "Wnlcott Proves That tlie Terrier
Can Sometimes "Whip the Bulliloff.
New ""Fork Sun.
Prom tltno to time the Sun has presented
the arguments that chanced to point to
this or that individual as the most re
markable "man" among men. John L.
Sullivan was a wohderful man. So was
Jack Dem"psey,vor George Dixon, or, be
fore them, Thomas Sayers. Barclay of
Ury was a wonderful man. Llttlewood,
who holds the recdrd for six days going
as ono pleases, belonged to the same class.
Captain Webb was another. So Is San
dow. The list of physical marvels is long
find extremely varied. But last Friday
night there appeared in New York rfn as
pirant for the very top place of all among
them in tho person of Joseph Walcott.
This 5 feet 14 Inches of length and -.140
pounds of weight of negro outboxed Jo
seph Choynski, a Polish "Jew, who has
nearly reached the very first class among
heavy weights. Choynski is but a little
short of 170 pbunds in weight and riot far
from six feet tall, a man of beautiful
physical form and quality, a most accom
plished boxer, and, as a fighter, as game
ash is, -practised. But the little knot of
Africanism that faced him took his pow
erful blows as though it was a stone with
out' senses, and in return rained blows on
poor Choynski with such crushing vigor
and frightening rapidity that In less than
one-third of tho time nIowed for the con
test the Jarger man was utterly beaten.
When Charles Mitchell, the British
heavy weight, an artist of great skill and
power, first came to this country' some
years .ago, the lightweight Billy Edwards
thought that his own unusual ability to hit
and great spryness on foot would enable
him to boat Mitchell; and so tho match
was made. In that case it took but a few
moments for the bulldog to eat the ter
rier. "Walcott was scarcely bigger com
pared to Choynski than Edwards was In
comparison with Mitchell;, yet In Wol
cott's affair 'the terrior ate the bulldog.
TJie little man -won overwhelmingly.
As a "human being of metallic, dulness
of the nerves as to pain or shock, yet of
the very highest nervous organization as
to muscular strength and keen Intelli
