THE MOKNI-NG OREGONIAN, S ATTTRDAX, V M AY -lOj 1900. 11 COMMERCIAL AND. There was a fine trade -with the country yes terday and this, with the usual Friday trade In the city, kept the wholesale section pretty busy alt day. Produce receipts were lighter than usual, and. -with the exception of eggs, prices ruled rather firm. The ess market la In peculiar shape. The price has not yet re ceded to a point where the stock will go into cold storage, and there- is not enough demand outside of the storage houses to take care of the heaTy receipts now coming to hand. The effort to advance the price of butter does not aeem to be meeting with much success, as there is still plenty of strictly first-class creamery stock to be had for S3c- Oregon strawberries were not so plentiful yesterday, and all jf the best stock sold at 15c x Hank Clearing.

Argentine shipments this week were about 1,000.000 bushels shy of those for the rrcllous week; but the effect -of this falling off hid apparently all been discounted by the Euro pean markets, for there was no strength from that direction, although Chicago was up about a. cent on unfavorable American crop reports.

Bnoyant Close With a Burst of Buy ing Orders. XEW TORIC. May IS. The stock market contended successfully against the marked de pression of the early dealings, and showed in creasing strength as the day advanced. The early losses were all retrieved, and the closo was fairly buoyant, with a hurst of bujlng or ders. Very notable net pains are shown by the specialties and industrials, while the rail roads generally are from a fraction to over 2 points higher. Th early depression had its in ception in London, where stocks were sold down sharply. Sugar and Tobacco were both sold dow n sliarpl , but they met support of a character which has been lacking for several days past. An unwieldy short interest has been formed, especially in Tobacco, in the course of Its recent severe decline, and when the stock Oegan to move up the demand from the bears became precipitate Tha strength developed in some New York stocks added to the confusion of the bears. Brooklyn Union Ga3 moved up 5s points, and Consolidated Gas 1. to a level far above that touched by this stock for many months past. Even, the steel Industrials were bought and moved up generally a point. The large buying of Burlington was the feature of the Tallroad list, but there -was a well-distributed demand for railroad Stocks during the latter part of the day, and the sudden jump in prices of some of them indicated the uneasiness of the ncmand from a short Interest. No gold exports were announced for tomor row's English steamers, and sterling exchange fell lower. The strong1 return made today by. the Imperial Bank of pcrmany kept pace with -toe improved cot41Uoa of the EnglUa and -FINANCIAL NEWS" Trench Institutions, and afforded relief from apprehension of any further gold exports at present. The bond market responded to the late ac tivity and strength in stocks. The total salej.

The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram bays: There was no public business in the markets here today, and prices sagged on profit-taking by professionals. Funds were weak on the news that Russia had seized Masernpho. in Corea. New York sold Tintos, and Paris at first absorbed the offerings, but subsequently there was a relapse, the news from Corea being taken moro seriously In France than In Eng land. The double option to end in July was offered at 40. New York sold Anacondas, whllo London is overbought. Americans were dull, there being no London market for them, and the- tendency was toward reaction. New York support being trifling. The bank lost 02,000 in gold to the Cape. Money was ery easy, main ly, however, because of the Idleness of busi ness rather than a superabundance of cash.

For the greater part of the session trade in wheat was quiet. The opening was easy, July VtS'ftc under yesterday, at CCHO-OOc, because Liverpool was lower. But the price got no lower, for the bears had been in control only for a brief period when the weather began to make Itself felt. There was no relief from the drought in the Northwest, however, and. realizing1 this, shorts began to cover. There were more rains In the South west, and Illinois and Kansas reported dam ages from the fly. Accordingly, more shorts covered, and those who had the article held to It.

Idaho Is add ing Its quota of gold to the world's pro duction. The gold placers alone of the Cocur d'Alenes have yjelded about J3.0W, 0!X, yet It la a silver galena region. About $30,OuO,000 bave been produced In Jfbrthern Idaho since ISSi, the year of the great rush. Pritchard, the original discoverer of gold on Pritchard Creek, Is remaining In Northern Idaho. He recently refused 540,000 for an interest In a mine near Os born. Eagle City, -where once there were 3000 people, though, la given to farming. At one time there were 22 palopns doing a big business. None are there now, The placers Jn that section are mostly worked out, "but a few miles distant on Pritchard Creek the largest .placer corporation in the state Is at work. About 70 placer miners are making good wages In the vicinity of Delta. A num ber of former Portlanders- are here, no tably David R. Heustlss, Thomas Schust er, William Mather, Neal McDougall and Michael Titus. Murray shows more sfgns of life than at any time in 10 years. "A rich striker was recently made In the Daddy mine, for many yeare the property of ihe late" George W. Copekind, formerly of Forest Grove. The vicinity of Myrtle Is a good placer district Glllllland & McNall found the largest nugget of the season. It weigned JSO. They found many weighing from $25 to $50. Tho placers are giving way to the ship ping mines. Over on Sunset there are 21 mining companies at work, and thefe Is every prospect of this becoming a second' LeadvlHe. The Northern Pacific Is build ing a branch line to Sunset from "Wallace, and the line will prove a good feeder for the Mtesoula branch. Over Inthe vicinity of Sunset the Silver Eagle Mining Company, In which Port land people are Interested, Is represented here by F. A. Knapp; who Is considered a hustler. Mr. Knapp has elx men doing development work, and by July 1 they will be working on the ledge. Mr. Knnpp has very little to say, but all who know him believe he ha? a mine of far more value than he Is willing to admit. The Pragers, louts and Sidney, former-' ly of the Farmers' & Mechanics' store, Portland, have cleared up about J16.0M this year in a mining deal over on Sun set. The Toughnut property, owned by Port land people, recently ehowed up a ledge of galena that is 18 Inches at the top and SG Inches at the bottom of the tunnel. The State of Idaho produces one-fourth of all tho lead In the "United States, or about 70,000,000 pounds a year. There are about 2000 men employed by the sh'pplng mines of the Coeur d'Alenes, and nut less than 1000 men are engaged In placqf mining and development -work, A fair erf. tlmate of the payroll ft thcee 3000 men would be $10,500 per day. On May 1 it was estimated that the shipments of ore and concentrates run over 15,000.000 pounds a month in the Coeur d'Alenes. Wallace, without doubt, is the liveliest city In Idaho today. Gem, Wardner, Mullan and Osborn are also moving Jo the front. Some attribute the dlstclqt's prosperity to the 'presence of Federal troops, while others claim the district would be further advanced without them Opinions are about evenly divided?' dnd ill-feeling is shown on all eldes, a ALBERT TOZIEJt.

' Itjjas been stated in spmeguartcrs th,at poisonous "gases are produced by the exi plosion pf lyddite. -Without goingk into technical details. It may be here stated that ample proof exists that the prod ucts of lyddite '-are no more injurious than those of gunpowder, and are much less objectionable than the gases evolved on the firing of guncotton, cordite or ni troglycerin. Any statement attributing death to poisonous gases from explodfng lyddite may therefore be rejected as un. tfue. "Woman Shot a Xcjrro. WALLACE- Idaho, May IS. Mrs. Will lam.
