THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY-29, 1900. - It COMMERCIAL AND The last few days of the month are nettx very good lor wholesale business. .nd those of the month now drawfaj-to a clone are no ex ception to the rule. In a few lines yesterday there was some activity, but there were no changes of Importance In prices. Produce re ceipt were liberal, and new potatoes hae weakened so that they are not movlmr any too briskly at lc per pound. The rainy weather .has seriously Interfered with the strawberry uslncns, and receipts from Southern Oregon yesterday generally showed the effect of the dampness, and had to be sold quick or not ai all. Best stock from Hood River brought about 10c, and Mount Tabor berries sold around 7Sc per pound. Eggs and butter am steady at un changed figures. The grain markets are weak. Hank: Clenrlncs.

The opening of & new week showed no material change in speculative conditions, and the stock markets of New Tork. Ldndon. Paris and Berlin continued dull and neglected. In New York another firm an nounced Its suspension, the "failure being an nounced, as was that c Price. McCormlck i. to , on the cotton and stock exchanges, almost simultaneously. The closing out of the firm's contracts on the stock exchange under the rules -resulted In transactions of about 10.000 shares. That prices were Inclined to advance under the Influence of the settlement aas satisfactorily explained by the fact that the buying of stocks ior the firm outnumbered the selling fully 6 to 1. That Is to say. the house was largely abort of the market. The failure Is attributed to cotton speculation, as the recent movement of stocks has been In faor of outstanding con tracts of the firm. Last week's rumors of financial difficulties which related to this house "brought pressure to bear, and precipitated the assignment. The fact that the same kind of rumors are circulated regarding some other houses Is a factor In keeping Wall-street senti ment unsettled. The only notable movements during the day irere the advances In Sugar, supposed to be on hear covering, and In Burlington, on resump tion, being of the same character as that -ahlch lias given the stock Its recent strength. These advances prompted some sharp rallies at other points, and some of the earlier losses were re-eo-ert-d. The market was semi-stagnant at times, and tho closing was dull and Irregular. London sold small amounts of stock, although FINANCIAL-NEWS that market as a whole showed strength on the advance of the British Into the Transvaal. It Is worth remembering that the speculative world has based Its largest hopes regarding the end of the Transvaal war on the effect lo be produced In the money market by the re sumption of the gold supply from the South Af rican mines; but at tho present time there Is a reflux of cash Into the reserves of all the great banks of the world, and Increasing diffi culty is being experienced In finding profltnble employment for Idle capital. The dullness today was accentuated by the fact that the week villi be Interrupted by a holiday and by the year's great racing event In London. Sterling exchange wax weak today. The bond market was very dull, and showed weakness. In sympathy with stocks. The total salts, par value, were $1,160,000. "United States bonds were unchanged in bid quotations. BONDB. U.
