THE MORSYrNTG OKEGQSIAN, FRIDAY, MAECH' 23, 1900.-, 11 (COMMERCIAL AND There -was nothing of special interest In the market situation yesterday, and prices were generally unchanged. Produce receipts -were easier, on account of good weather for farm work. Butter and eggs are both weaker, and 12c wao the outside figure for the latter, with an almost unlimited amount of choice cream ery butter to be had at 50c. Some dealers are etlll asking 55c, but it xs for special brands, which would probably move Just as well at 75c, as they have an established trade that will take no other. California butter is coming in pretty freely, and is selling enough, lower than Oregon creamery to make It attractive to eomc buyers. 'Oats are a shade firmer on light re ceipts. The wheat markets are weaker. Poul try continues in brisk demand at big prices for chickens. Bank Clearings. Exchanges. Balances.

The local wheat market Is easier in tone, in sympathy with other markets. It is somewhat unusual for this market to exhibit any sym pathy with other markets, but this Is appar ently what it was doing yesterday, as but few of the exporters were quoting over 53c, Which Is supposed to be somewhere near the export value of the cereal. This price will not moe much wheat, and a small sale was reported at C4c, with 535-lc being bid for some choice Val ley. Bluestem is easy at GGc.. Freights are firm at unchanged figures.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Heavy Demand for Railroad Stocks From All Grades of Investors. vI T0UK- Mah 22,-The railroad stocks beld their Jnnlng on the rtock exchange today. The demand Tor all grades of this claw of se curities reached Imposing proportions, and the buying came from all degrees of investors and speculators, large and small. The individual Imestor was in evidence as a buyer of frac tional lots all through the list, and some of the heavy buying was attributed to the account of banking Interests and Insiders In the various properties. The professional board-room traders on the floor of the exchange have turned bulls to a man. and the speculators of larger caliber and speculative pools made their operations manifest in the volume of transactions. Individual transactions to the extent of 1000 Phares were so usual as to attract little atten tion, while many lots of 2000 to 5300 were re corded on the tape. Norfolk & Western and the Atchison stocks took the most conspicuous flace In the trading, but zzicm were lmpressUe transactions at different ,t!mes during the day In Union Pacific. Baltimore & Ohio. Southern Pacific. Pennsylvania, Northern Pacific, Ches apeake & Ohio, and late In the day Southern Railway. The strength disclosed In yesterday's mar ket precipitated today's rush to, buy, and It was made clear that a very large'clement must have been waiting and watching for some time Xor the first sign that the market wag throw FINANCIAL NEWS ing off its lethargy and getting ready today. In studying today's market. It is worthy of close attention that the rush to buy was taken advantage of to take profits on a very large scale In stocks which have recently enjoyed a considerable advance under manipulation by professional operators and pools. Practically all of the industrial stocks, including the local tractions and the iron and steel stocks, and also Sugar, were sold to take profits under cover of the speculative furore. But it was not only In these mercurial specialties that this procesa was In evidence, but also In the lailroads itself. Baltimore & Ohio and the Pacific stocks showed the effects very distinctly. Union Pacific was advanced early, and was held pretty steady at the advance all day, but It mad no notable further progress upward, and the stoclts In this category showed positive reaction. But the current of the buying demand was so deep and strong as to carry the whole market practically In Its sweep. Commission houses reported or ders on a large scale, md London was an eager buyer of stocks here, far beyond the usual hour when transactions for that account had ceased. The volume of buying for this account was estimated at from G5.000 to 70.000 shares, and was a potent Influence in general on the market. London cables reported that part of the buying of Americans there was for Berlin account. A flurry In call money in the afternoon to 0 per cent was an admonitory symptom, prompt ing to the reflection that even the relaxed conditions ain the money market might be over strained again by a headlong speculation. A drop in New York exchange at Chicago to 20c discount, compared with 25c premium earlier in the week, pointed to the same moral. Government bonds were also checked in their downward course today, and rallied. Indicating that -the profit - taking there, which . was a factor in releasing funds to the money mar ket, has come to a pause, and, although the Subtreasury absorption is cut almost in half, as compared with last week, it still promises to run up close to the amount of the surplus yet remaining with the banks over the re quired 25 per cent. Prooably a perception ot, tnese jacis, as well as tne violence of tne day's advance, prompted the general movement to take profits In the late dealings, which re duced pricttj all around from the bast made, and the closing was easy. The bond market was active and strong. Tin total sales were $4,045,000. United States re funding 2s, when Issued, old 4s and new 4s, coupon, advanced Jj per cent in the bid price. BONDS. U.

Americana were strong, being an. ex ception to the rule. There was also more act ive buying than for many months. London bought steadily, and. big orders came from Ber lin, Amsterdam and Brussels. New York bought also, and the close was booming, with Baltimore & Ohio the leading feature. Country support was apparently influenced by an Econ omist article, pointing out that a new era has been inaugurated by the currency law, but big brokers have been "tipping" the rise for some days. Tintos spurted to 65 on the divi dend of 45s. and the showing of 130,000 brought forward and 1110.000 pounds added to the re serve. This was fully up to well-informed cx pectatlon, although under optimistic estimate! of 10 days ago. Anacondas were slightly harder, in sympa thy. The bank bought 133,000 gold in bars, and reduced its buying price to the statutory min Imum of 77s Od. Money rates were unchanged, and half the amount due the bank was repaid.

The situation In Bessemer pig continues strong, with rather heavy trans actions at Pittsburg and In the East. Lars" consumers are In- need of more material of this character; The demand for foundry pis 1 net" what It should be. The outlook Is becoming more favorable for export business" In' pig iron. ""Foreign "buyers are now In this city negotiating for large lotrf. In one case 18,000 tons are wanted, and In an other 10,000 tons. The foreign demand covers Bessemer, basic and founary grades. Prices In' England have been -advancing sharply. The English market has apparently been kept ddtva by fear of American competition. With euch a prospect for enlargement of trade abroad, a moderate, reduction In pig-iron prices here would not be a serious matter for all business Interests concerned. The shortage In Iron In Europe offers an opportunity for the disposal of a surplus here. The Metal Market?. NEW YORK. March 22. Tin ruled -a shade easier today.

It will now be in order to make a thor ough search of No Man's Land for tho purpose of finding Charley Ross and Tas cott and discovering the Identity of the mysterious person who struck Billy Pat terson. The author of the Puerto Rican tariff bill, about whom there has been so much secrecy, has been found. It seems that the bill was written by one Henry T. Oxnard, of Grand Island, Neb., a man herptofore unknown to political fame Since Congress convened, he has been at Washington, disguised as a sub stantial farmer, with a keen Interest in the public welfare. He is the owner of a-beet-sugar factory at Grand Island, built with money given him as a bonus by the farmers of the vicinity. But that is only one of his avocations. His principal bus iness is said to be that of a lobbyist at ihfi National capital in the pay of the sygar, trust. .According to the accounts, he must be -one of- the smoothest of workers. His smile-is' pensive and child-like, and he has an oily tongue. He Is credited with hav ing been able repeatedly to shape legisla tion by means of Tils Insinuating ways and persuasive eloquence In private confer ences with members of Congress. Now that he Is In the public eye by reason of belrig discovered as the author of the Puerto Rlcan bill, his previous record has been brougnt to light, and It Is one of which any lobbyist might be proud. His specialty has been opposition -to trade 'reciprocity with any countries where sugar is produced. He tried to prevent the rat ification of the Paris treaty whereby the Philippines came Into our possession. He wrote the Teller amendment to the Cuban resolutions In order to avert tho danger of the admission of Cuban sugar free of duty. Jt Is" asserted that he actually suc ceeded for two years In blocking the movement for the annexation ot the Haw aiian Islands. He seems -to be a versatile genius, with a truly wonderful faculty for being all things to all men in order that Congress may enact no legislation which might by any possibility harm the sugar trust.
