IT
COMMERCIAL AND
Tine "weather yesterday .shortened the re
ceipts of produce which comes to hand by
team, the farmers all being busy at work. Re
ceipts by rail and boat, however, were u31
eiently heavy to prevent much strength In
price. The potato .market waa exceptionally
dull. The demand has fallen off In San Fran
cisco, and there la a very large surplus yet to
be marketed in the state, no that the outlook
i not bright for very good prices from now on.
Onions are slightly wcaser. Butter Is also
dropping, and, while eggs are still moving at
12c, an effort to advance the price to 13c was
& failure. The wheat market Is steady, with
nothing doing. In groceries, a 10c advance In
sugars is the only new feature.

WBW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Corner In Third Avcnne Causes Bril-
Uant Speculative Pyrotechnics.
NEW YORK. March 20. There was a bril
liant display or ppeculative pyrotechnics today,
"which was interesting and informing as a
spectacle, but which must have been attended
with unpleasant consequences for some one.
The speculative outbreak took place in the New
York traction group, and was precipitated by
the official announcement published this morn
ing that the Metropolitan Street Railway had
secured a controlling Interest in the Third Ave
nue road. This at once confirmed the fears of
shorts, which have been quite acutely manl-
Xested for peveral days, that there was not a
large enough supply of Third Avenue stock on
the market to enable thera to cover their un
filled contracts for delivery. In other wordo,
the stock was cornered. The result, briefly
stated, was a Jump of nearly 17 points in the
price on top of yesterday's rise of nearly 19
points.
The violent rise in the stock brought out large
lots from long holders, which caused many col.
lapses, and made wide and feverish fluctua
tions all day. But when the shorts attempted
to supply their needs the price always mounted
buoyantly upward again. The New Tork pub
lic utilities have been the favorite field of
operation by the bears for several days past,
and the sympathetic strength Imparted to the
group by the Metropolitan-Third Avenue com
bination drove the shorts to cover with a rurh.
The extreme advances in the group were Met

tan, 4V5. The possibilities of .economy of oper
ation and elimination ot destructive rivalries,
as a result of the combination, undoubtedly
improves the status of the. Metropolitan and.
Third Avenue properties, but the price move
ment of the day was almost wholly due to
speculative exigencies. Third Avenu stock
commanded as high as 4 per cent premium for
use on loans.
There was furious manipulation in the stock
all day. as was evidenced by the simultaneous
3alo on regular transactions and on sellers of
00-day contracts at nearly 10 points apart, the
regular sale commanding the high price. Other
stocks in which the short interest had been
largely reflected, the urgent demand from the
shorts, notably Sugar, American and Conti
nental Tobacco, People's Gas and Westers
Union, which rose 1 to 3H-
Speculatlon in the railroad list was rather
dull durimj the period of feverish excitement in
the specialties, but later la the day an active
and vigorous demand sprang up for Baltimore
& Ohio, the Pacifies, some of the grangers.
Wheeling & Lake Erie second preferred and a
number of less prominent stocks. Baltimore &
Ohio was carried up 4V4 points. The highest
prices were not maintained in any case, the
violently speculative specialties showing' the
sharpest recation. but the closing generally was
rather easy, below the best, and the net
changes, though mostly gains, were very ragged
as to uniformity. The iron and steel stocks
were rather heavy, notably National Steel and
Tennessee Coal.
The money market showed evidences of re
laxation. The continued declines In the price
of Government bonds indicates a process of
liquidation Vhlch suggests that the recent level
of prices prompted the changing of plans for
taking out bank-note circulation and the selling
out of holdings of bonds. The railroad bond
market continued active, but price changoa
were rather irregular. The- total sales were

Chicago Grain and Produce.
CHICAGO, March 2ft. Early trading in wheat
was marked by considerable liquidation. Cables
were lower at the opening, and continued to
decline, which, with the continued large re
ceipts in the Northwest and the-absenceof for
eign demand, left the market practically with
out support. May opened unchanged, at C6H
0Cc Pressure to liquidate, which soon became
quite general, forced the price back to 66c.
Below this price, however, the bears could not
force the market, and shortly before 11 o'clock
a good demand sprang up, local shorts and out
siders giving support, to the market, and "ad
vancing the price to 6Cc
This demand satisfied, the market again re
lapsed Into a condition of heaviness, with the
price fluctuating within a narrow range. Dur
ing the last hour of tradug strength again de
veloped. The visible decreased 1.32S.O0O bush
els, which was more than expected. This stif
fened the market appreciably, and when the
seaboard reported an improved foreign demand
buying became quite brisk. May reaching the
best price of the day, 06c at which price the
market closed eteady.
Corn was dull and inclined to. weakness,
prices ruling a little lower. News was such as
not to materially Influence prices, and the mar
ket was controlled by scalpers. May closed He
lower.
Oats showed no Indications of recovering
from its present stagnation. Speculative busi
ness was insignificant. May closed a shade
lower.
Provisions were active, the market at times
being in a seml-panlcky condition, so. far as
pork was concerned, and the price of that "com
modity covered a wide range. S.mall stocks of
pork, the continued advance in the price of
hogs and fear that a corner might be attempted
brought about a strong buying movement con
after the opening, and "aa the price went sky
ward shorts tumbled over themselves in their
eagerneai to cover. The price advanced 30c in
a very few minutes. Then offerings became
liberal, and the market fell a great deal faster
than It had advanced. 20c being clipped oC
quickly. Another flurry chopped off 30c more.
but before the clos confidence had been re
st&red, and the price agmn advanced to about
yesterday's closing figures. Late in the ses
sion there was considerable selling of lard and
rite, and those commodities suffered in conse
quence, pork also weakening tomewhat. The
close was rather nervous, with May pork 2c
lower. May lard 7c lower and May rib 7c
lower.

Who Are Freeholders T
PROSPER, Or.. March 20. (To the Ed
itor.) Will you please stnte through the
columns of The Oregonlan -who are com
petent to swear as witnesses to the state
ments of an elector at time of registra
tion? Tho law says a freeholder. Is a
homesteedt-r or a. person who holds a bond
for a deod or one who holds a loase of
land considered a freeholder? Also, will
neglect to register disqualify a person
from acting In an official capacity In elec
tion affairs? L. R. EDMUNDS.
The term "freeholder," as defined by
the common law, which definition lawyers
believe governs in the present case, covers
all title to landed estates greater than a
term of years. The shortest jease falling
within the scope must be not less t.an
for some human life, The title ;nay be
equitable, or otherwise.- A homostoader,
Steamship Co.
Western Denver
(Scenic Line) and
who Is complj'lng with the lawful require
ments for completing his title, has rn
equitable interest that places him within
tho class-knpwirtts "freeholders." A bond
for a deed mieht ba considered a sufficient
equitable Interest to qualify a man as a
freeholder.
Neglect to register is generally consid
ered sufficient to .disqualify a man other
wise competent from acting as Tin official
of elections, as the law authorizing the
appointment of such officials specifies that
they shall be chosen from the ulectirs of
a county A man who has not registered
could hardly be called an elector, unless
the reason for his not having registered
fell within some of the grounds .p2clfied
where ,a man could be sworn in when try
ing to vote. In the latter case, he nould
be an elector as soon as he took the re
quired path with the number of witnesses
attesting his statement required by law.
e
Hcsrlstrntlon of "Men" Under 21.
THE DALLES. March 19. (To the Edi
tor.) Will you kindly Inform me whether
or not a County Clerk Is obliged to register
a young man who will become of age next
September? Of course, he could not vote
in the state election next June, but aa
the bcoks close for two years on May 13,
refusal to register would debar him from
the privileges of the franchise for that
time. YOUNG AMERICAN.
County Clerk Holmes, of Multnomah,
has adopted the rule not to register an ap
plicant unless he Is at that time a qualified
elector, which, of cource. means that he
must be of age when asking to be regis
tered. In following th's course, County
Clerk Holmes is guided by legal advice,
which Is the nearest approach to any
official legal opinion on the point yet
brought to light In Multnomah County.
However, It Is understood that the man la
not debarred from votmg on election day,
as the proviso enabling the judges at a
polling, place to swear those otherwise
entitled to vote who have been unable for
sufficient reasons to register, Is Interpreted
as covering the case of a man who has
reached his majority after the registration
books were closed.
