that "Walla Walla on spot waa -very firm, and
selling at high prices. Not much of this
strength wbb reflected In cargoes, and in the

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Railroad Superseded by the Indas-
trials and Specialties.
NEW TORK. March 30. The railroads re
tired into the background of the Mock market
today and gave way to the Industrials and spe
cialties. Sugar almost outdid its traditional
.reputation for uncertainty by suddenly retrac
ing Its course of yesterday and mounting well
above the high point. There was a momentary
decline of less than a point at th opening,
end then a quick rally, and the stock never
got back to last night's closing level. Twice
during the late dealings it was 13 points above
the low level In the morning, and Its net gain
is 1VA. The transactions today were enor
mous. Its course clearly demonstrated a cynical
skepticism on the part of the speculative pub
lic regarding the pessimistic official outgiving
Which caimed yesterday's slump in the price cf
the stock. All sorts of sensational rumors wer
afloat regarding measures for compromise uZ
the sugar-trade war. and there were Intima
tions that the opposition refiners bad been em
ulating the example of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Interests In the Third Avenue coup by
acquiring Sugar stock at the decline. At ail
events, ahpris in the stock were exceedingly
perturbed and scrambled to obtain stock.
The local traction stocks furnished the other
surprise in the market, and, like Sugar, de
Teloped -aggressive strength In the face of bad
news. The. demand In this group undoubtedly
cape from the shorts. The, figures given out
from Albany last night of the valuation placed
upon the franchises of the New Tork traction
.companies were as high as the most extrava
gant estimates In Wall street. With the ex
ception of a preliminary drive, which carried
FINANCIAL NEWS
tho stocks down from to 4 points,' the whol
group .was eagerly bought, all day, .rising well
above, last night's figures, and no; falling far
below that level again.
People's Gas and a number of the iron and
steel stocks, hy rising sharply, completed the
demonstration of strength of the Industrial
group. The demand for the railroads seemed to
have quieted down for the time being, with
the exception of a. stock here aad there In the
list, which showed a good advance. Profit
taking waa the motive for the selling, but the
pressure upon the moaey market Incident to
the quarterly settlement next week, which was
manifest In foreign markets even more than
here, had its influence in checking the buying
movements. As the buying of the specialties
was largely to cover short contracts,. It was
not Influenced by money market considerations.
There was no stiffness In the rates for money,
but the preliminary figures of tomorrow's bank
statement fall to indicate so Mrocg a return
as has been counted on. Owing to the falling
off la the amount of Government bonds offered
for conversion, the disbursement of premiums
and decreases in this week's gain by the banks
from the Subtreasury will be less than
$1,000,000. Oa the Interior movement by ex
press, the net receipts are estimated at least
$500,000. As against this small gala in cash,
the expansion In loans has unquestionably beea
large. There is room for doubt, therefore,
whether considerable inroad has not been made
on the surplus.
Business 'in the bond market showed a falling
.off, but prices were about maintained. Total
sales. $3,300,000. United States 3s, old 4s and
new 4s declined per cent la the bid price.

NEW YORK. March 50. The Commercial Ad
vertiser's' London financial cablegram sajs:
The market here was Idle, the effect of the
Delagoa Bay award. The market has been ex
pecting 2,500,000 to 3.000.000, and gets only
075,000. No fecial provision la made for the
American claim. Shares fell 7s 10s to lie,
and closed at 1, nominal. First debentures
fell 130 to par, seconds 114 to 40. Portuguese
declined , but recovered. Americans showed
meager dealings for the same reason as oa
yesterday. There was fair profit-taking. A
strong rally at the opening of the afternoon
was regarded as preliminary to manipulation
from New Tork, which came as buyers of
Atchison Issues and Baltimore & Ohio, neg
leotlng the others. The close waa slightly un
der the best. Coppers were firm. Tlntos closed
at 5S. New Tork bought Anacondas In the
street up to 10. The bank bought 20,000 gold
bars, and lost 11,000 to South Africa, iloney
vas more plentiful. The amount due the bank
was repaid this morning, and two-thirds was
borrowed in the afternoon. Bills were a Bhadc

Chicago Grain and Prodacc.
CHICAGO, March 80. Wheat opened easier
because, of lower cables from Liverpool, Xc
under yesterday, at 050Gc In a ehort time
the price sunk Tnfcn that to 00e, where the
report of damage to the French crop made Its
habitual appearance, Joined with reports of a
bllsrard In Adstrla and higher prices In Buda
pest, which sent May to 67ftC7c Profit
taking caused a reaction to 60c, but la the
break ahorts "covered, taking the cue from the
.strength of corn, and nearly all of the slump
was recovered, the market closing strong. May
Osc over yesterday, at 074rC79&c St. Louis
cohered in enormous lots.- and traders who bad
sold early also made, haste to take back their
early sales, materially aiding In the strength
and activity. There was a fair cash demand,
but the car scarcity Interfered with the closing
of many deals. Domestic crop reporta were
favorable, as was the weather.
The corn market was broad aad strong,
helped principally by a heavy export demand.
The demand for shipment In April was also
heavy, but the ever-present difficulty In getting
cars intruded Itself, and was an efficient check
on much business of this sort. Country offer
ings were light and cables lower. May closed
5i6'c over jesterday.
The strength of corn held, oats firm. The
trade gradually showed a .balance In favor of
July optrons. July closed o Improved, and
May o up.
Provisions were nervous, with fluctuations
wide and the market altogether rather Jerky.
The opening was under yesterday, the consid
eration being lower prices at the yards. A
small dip followed, and thea the market re
acted. May pork shooting up SOc to $12 07.
There was a good cash demand, but there waa
also considerable profit-taking, which told in
the end, the -close being rather heavy. May
pork closed 5c under yesterday. May lard 5
7c down and May ribs 6c depreseid.

FOREST GROVE, Or., March 29. (To
the Editor.) R. "W. McNutt. of" this
place, wishes to know why he can
not register Tvlth his discharge
of three years' service In the United
States Array, from 18C2 to 1855. '"With his
father and mother he came from Novia
Scotia, where he was born, to the United
States, In 1845. His father became natur
alized that year at Machias, Me., and Mr.
McNutt has served as postmaster at Cor
enllus for seven years, and has resided
In the United States Si years. Tow he
wishes to know (his father having died
and his naturalization papers lost), why
he cannot register under the present law
without taking out any other papers.
C. L. LARGE. .
Tho Oregonlan referred the foregoing
letter to H. H. Holmes, Clerk of the
County Court of Multnomah County, who.
gives the" foljowlng opinion:
"Section 2172 of United States statutes
governing naturalization of aliens reads
that the children of persons who have beeir
naturalized, being under the age of 21 at
the time of naturalization of their parents,
shall, if dwelling In the United States, be
considered as citizens thereof. This' con
struction, therefore, makes R. W McNutt
a citizen If his father was duly natural
ized, and the only requirement of him
would be a copy of his father's papers, if
they could be got, or satisfy the registra
tion officer of the correctness of his state
ment by affidavit or otherwise. There
must be some mistake about the date
when his father became naturalized, for
a person must reside five years In the
country before he can "become fully natur
alized. In the matter of his serving In the
United States Army, secUon 2165 of -the
statutes reads that he shall ba admitted
to become a citizen upon his petition
without any previous declaration of his
intention to become such. These papers
can be taken out before any Court of
Record, and he must apply for them. I
don't think It would be necessary for a
person who Is so well known as McNutt
to be compelled to take out papers, as I
think his statement of the facts ought .to
be sufficient to entitle him to vote."
