There was an obvious effort this morning to contlnuo the manipula tion in prices which set on foot by a clique of professional traders. The attempt met with considerable success for a time, assisted as it was by special influences affecting one or two individual stocks. There was an active revival of old and neglected rumors concern ing dividend prices of a number of railroads which bare been pursuing a downward course tor soma time, on account of the general sup position that surplus railroad earnings would be conserved' for future needs, rather than be distributed as Increased dividends. Promi nent In this class were Baltimore & Ohio and illsBourl Pacific, which were advanced about a point or over by active blddlng-up process during the morning. There was a continuance of the recent unexplained demand for the Reading and New Jersey Central stocks, the latter rising at ono time 2 points. "Sugar rose with, an appearance of strength, but relapsed on realizing with the announce ment of. a further rise- in. the price of the product. Brooklyn Transit derived some benefit from yesterday's verdict, in the trial for conspiracy to discredit the securities of the company. The early depression from ion don, where the growing seriousness of the problem in China had its effect, seemed to be totally ignored In this market, and had no Influence In checking the opening advance. 2ot so with the Influence of the wheat mar ket, which again demonstrated Its dominating power on stocks. When prices of wheat were seeu to advance, railroad stocks turned downward, and found no effective support for the rest of the day. The general lcyel of prices fell below last night In the late dealings, but there were some stocks which retained, small net gains, though much diminished irom those at tho high level of prices. Although the advance was checked, the gains which were secured In yesterday's move ment were ;noU.very largely encroached 'upon. Thfl'taar&ct -during -the latterpart of the day FINANCIAL NEWS was dull, almost to the point of stagnation, there being no disposition to put out fresh contracts on the eve of a holiday. The money market was very dull, and not quotably changed. The bond market moved In sympa thy with stocks, advancing In the early deal ings, but yielded somewhat with the reaction In stocks. Total sales, par value, 040,000. United 'States old 4a and new 4s advanced and the 3s and 5s 14 in the bid price. BONDS, U. S. -2s, ref. reg.103 do coupon 103 do 2a. re 100 Atchison adj. 4s.. 83 Gen.

That the longs la wheat over night evidently had absorbed some hops during the night was apparent when the mar ket opened.

It was "slsb reported that Liverpool shipping bids were nearly on a parity wjth American prices. August wheat opened l$l4c higher, at 7SQ70c and shortly after, told to 70c. On profit-taking August reacted to 78c, which proved to be the bottom for the day.

PORTLAND, Or., July 3, 1900. The market opened the flrat o tho vrtek. at about tho closing prices for the pre vious woek. and throughout showed a healthy rise, closing strong1, and In aomft instances with a marked increaso over the prices of the week before, with sales of 3S2.000 shares, against 200,000 shares last week. We attribute tho rise In the price of certain stooka to the fact that the show ing on the different properties more than Justifies the price at which the shares are offered, and, also, that Eastern in yestors are awakening to the fact that the gold mines of Oregon offer better Inducements to investors than those of any other section of America. The stocks most actively traded In, on the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange, dur ing the week, were: Helena, Helena No. 1, May Queen, Oregon.Colorado and Lost Horse. Throughout the week, shares In the Helena Mining Company were In great demand by brokers having Eastern or ders, as "well aB by those who wero sup plying tho local demand. Helena la paying dividends of c per share, payable on the 25th day of each month, and it Is the intention of the com pany to Increase them by November ll Tho shares closed on Saturday at 27V4c bid and 27-sc asked. Stock bought around these figures will, at the present rate of dividends, net the investor better than 20 per cent per annum, not taking int consideration the advance in the shares and the increase of dividends. The Helena Mining Company No. 2 owns three claims, two of which are located on an extension of the Helena vein, and cover an amount of It equal to that owned by the Helena Company. .Develop ment has been done by means of open cuts and tunnels on the vein. There is some frec-mlllins pay ore in sight, which hows values of $2S per ton. A site has been located on which to erect a mill, and the development of the property is being, actively pursued. The present showing on the property is as good, if not better, than was to be had on the Helena with a corresponding amount of develop ment. No. 2 stock closed the week at 4Hc bid and 4?4c asked. "We consider this stock good for a substantial ad vanco In a reasonably short time. The most active trader of tho entire list was May Queen. This Is a new stock, having been on the board but Ave dayis; yet some 120,C00 shares were dealt In dur ing that time, at prices ranging from 2a to 2Hc The company owns three claims, located five miles west of Grant's Pass, Josephine County, Or. This stock seems very popular among, local invest ors, and especially among those familiar with the property of the company; than which no better recommendation can be given. . Northwest Pensions.

The yew trees are often called the "mel ancholy yew," a description which Is not altogether unwarranted, having regard to the position they usually occupy. The use of the yew tree In Christmas decora tions In England Is no new fashion, and several centuries ago tho yew was moro largely employed in decorations at East er than at Christmas. The common yew tree has a wide geographical range. It is distributed over Great Britain and tho Continent of Europe, its range extending from Norway and Sweden to the shores of the Mediterranean. It Is also well rep resented in America and Asia. Neirs of Antorio. ASTORIA, Or., July 3. Prosecuting At torney Harrison Allen has appointed J. A. Aiken as his deputy for Clatsop County.
