THE MORNING OREGONUN, IKtfRSBAY, JULY 19, 1900. 11 COMMERCIAL AND Tradjo. this week Is of the usual Mld Bumn?er order, "there being no features of special interest In the situation. The "nfa-jat niarHet has been In the dumps for prveral days.and the movement Is bo ilght as to be scarcely noticeable. As this Is a condition of affairs that is al ways noticeable at this time of year, It 3s not exciting comment nor Is It having much effect on general trade. The big de mand and Increasing size of the orders for grain bags are pretty good, indica tions pf a mammoth "wheat crop,' tho ef fects of which -will be felt a little later when it commences to flow toward tide Water. Flour, which followed wheat up ward. Is very weak, and prices are de clining. The war In the Orient Is dis arranging matters considerably, and un less peace Is restored soon the 1900 crop will not find much of an outlet across tho Pacific There Is considerable firm liess in the grocery market, sugar and coffee making frequent advances since the close of the' war "between the trusts which manipulate prices of these great staples. Portland is shipping large quantities of butter and eggs to Alaska, and the mar ket for bpth of these products Is quite ilrm. butter advancing 5 cents yesterday Pratt. Is coming along o.ulte plentifully, and prices are steadily declining. Ore sonupples, peaches and small fruits have taken the place of most of the California sfock, Crawford peaches being the prin cipal fruit iow received from the South. "Watermelons are In good supply, and ahteloupes and nutmeg melons are also plentiful, with the price declining almost dally. The presence of so much fruit xlo?s not seem to affect the market for meats, as they are firmer than they have been for sevoral weeks, there being a ?reat .scarcity of both pork nd veal, the latter selling as high as 9 and 9 cents for best stock. Good block 'hogs will bring CJ4 erjts, and hardlj anything Is selling forJess than 6 cents. VIFJATi-Wlth a dull market abroad -anA fancy nsur!esaskd,for pannage, al mort regardless of position, there Is nat uirtlly -very lttte life In the local wheat irarket This feellne ot dullness Is ln Ste&slfled by the Oriental War," causing a itODpuge-of the flour trade In that di rection, and a strike among the wheat handlers on the dock Is not helping mat ters any. While these factors combined result in making exporters indifferent about doing much business, there Is also very little inclination to do business on the part of the farmers. Nearly all of them are -very busy securing their crops, ard are not yet ready to talk prices. 3omlnal quotations are about 55 and 55 Stents for Walla Walla and the same for Talley, with bluestem 5S and 59 cents. "What little business Is reported this week 3ias been at 'slightly higher figures, and irom some points In the Interior, reports 3iave been- received of 2 and 3 cents above these figures being paid where the com petition was fierce and the wheat wanted for a special purpose. The condition of the crop In the North west Is excellent, and while the thresh ing returns in certain quarters are hardly tip to expectations, the Improvement in others will be sufficiently great to bring the total output up to near the record figures. The quality of the crop Is much better than that of last year, much of the wheat weighing 00 and 61 pounds to the bushel. In the Valley matters are not looking so bright, but, taking the . crop, .as-a- whole, it is expected to make at least two-thirds of the average crop, and this with a carry-over of 30 per 'cent will bring the total available output practically up to the average. The greater part of the present weakness in the markets is due to the vastly Im proved crop conditions In the Middle West. In summarizing Its crop corre spondence for the week ending last Sat urday, the Cincinnati Price Current has tbe following regarding the situation: There continues to be much Interest 'shown In the situation of. the Spring wheat crop of the Northwest. The "weather conditions there have been more favorable, proving beneficial to all wheat not ruined before the rains began, and recent reports from the Dakotas and Min nesota Indicate that a large portion of the crop was still within the reach of aid, and muoh Improvement in prospect has taken place within the past 10 days, Justifying the view that 100 COO 000 bushels for the three states are at least possible if not probable. The threshing of tho Winter wheat crop has progressed far enough to show that the quality of the new crop Is of a high grade, and that the grain In Kansas. Oklahoma, etc.. Is weighing mostly CO to Gl pounds to tho "bushel. TaKing the country as a whole, the crop is yielding up to expectations, though there are a few reports of dis appointments here and there east of the aiissls!pp! River. The wheat market closes with an ad vance, understood to have been specu latively based on the low status of the Spring wheat crop as reflected by the Government report, and which Is likely to prove decidedly too low In the final reckoning. In fact there Is good reason for the view that the actual situation at this time Is considerably less discouraging than the official estimate suggests. It will be safe to regard the outlook as fa voring a total crop of 530,000,000 bushels, and that with marketable reserves from the previous crop there will r 625,000.000 bUshels available for distribution the coming year, compared with C00.000.000 bushels of distribution the past year. That resorves July l this season were equal to corresponding time last year, as claimed by the Price Current two weeks ago. Is well supported by official figures now available. WOOL The wool market is practically unchanged, so far as the price situation is concerned, but there has been a little freer selling movement at a few points east of the mountains, some fairly good Blred Jots changing hands last week. There is also some going East on con signment. The condition of the market in the East Is thus reported by the New York Journal of Commerce, under date or July 14: Wool dealers have not experienced any of the demand that was expected to make Itself apparent by th- "-. The man ufacturing situation has not shown suf ficient development to Justify any radical action on the part of buyers. Those who are able to forecast their demand because of the character of their prod uct are enabled to buy ahead, but those who are not engaged on staple materials, or who intend to put their looms on some different fabric from that which has" oc cupied them, are obliged to delay their purchases' until they-- are absolutely cer tain that prices have touched bottom. The present weak condltldrr of the mar ket does tiot-glve Ihe manufacturer any assurance for Xhe future. "nod, aa a con sequence his policy Is that of extreme conservatism. In domestic wool the demand, what lit tle there has been, has been centered principally about pulled stock, but this has hardly gone beyond the stage of inquiry. , and It Is believed that there may be still further alteration In holders views before any transactions occur. The stocks of these wools are a burden on the markot: which are not specially profitable to the holder, considering the present level of the market and the prices at which these wools were bought. In Texas the deadlock, continues, though holders are commencing to be lieve that they may have to yield to FINANCIAL NEWS pressure of bjtyers. The influenoe of the London sales-" upon the Interior owner of wool has been of a bearish nature, and though there has been some weakening it is not believed that the full import of this Influence has been felt, and that be fore any transactions are concluded con siderable concessions will have to be made. FRUIT The California watermelon is now In its prime, and It Is coming into the Portland market at the rate of one or two carloads per day. Two carloads were received yesterday, and another Is due this, morning. They clean up with out difficulty at $2 25 and $2 50 per dozen, with muskmelons and cantaloupes going at 52 to $2 25 per. dozen, with a downward tendency. A few Oregon cantaloupes have been received but the bulk of the receipts are still 'coming from California. Grapes are In the market at $1 60 per crate, and peaches are plentiful at prices ranging from 40 cents for early Oregon varieties, to 73 cents for California Craw fords. California pears sell for Jl 25 per box, and prunes at CO to So cents per box. Blackberries are plentiful at 3 and 4 cents per pound. BUTTER The hot weather has short ened the output of some of the cream eries to such an extent that some of the 45 fents yesterday, and It Is believed that 45 cents yesterday, and It Is believed that the price can be made to stick at that point for awhile. There has been a very heavy demand for creamery recently for shipment to Alaska, and stocks have been kept pretty closely cleaned up. For store butter, San Francisco buyers are In the market all the time, and all that is offered finds a ready sale at 25 and 274 cents per roll. EGGS The egg market Is quite firm with demand and supply holding so. close together that no difficult' Is experienced in securing 17 cnts for all of the strict ly first-class stock that Is offering. Taken as they come from the country without candling, some eggs are offering at low er prices, but as this class of stock Is specially uncertain at this season of the year the candled stock Is shown a prefer ence. POULTRY There Is a good demand this week for old hens at prices slightly above those of last week. Springs are also doing a little better, but for ducks and geese there Is a very poor demand, and quotations are to a large extent nominal. There Is a limited demand for dressed turkeys, but to command good prices they must be in good condition. Dauk Clearings. Exrhanp. Balances.

JfEW YORK STOCK 3IARKET. Halt In the Advance on Account of Lack of Outfifde Support. NETV TORK, July 18. The bull party de sisted from their efforts to advance prices to day, and the recent appearance of activity duo to their operations promptly gave place again to something near stagnation. While the pres sure to realize was not severe. It was evident that the. recent demonstrative buying by the bull party has Tailed utterly to attract any de mand from outside sources, so that no market Is offered for taking profits. It Is not difficult to foretell what would oe the effect under these circumstances of the selling out of recent .speculative purchases. Ap parently the principal reason for the cessation of bull manipulation was the demonstrated fu tility of the attempt to attract outside buying. Predictions of d'vldend action on Baltimore & Ohio ar eo far discredited thai that stock went backwards today, and even Union Pa cific, which has been advanced by much more aggressive managsnvnt. fell back almost as much, the latter losing 1 net, and the former IS points. The Increase In the dividend rate of Illinois Central apaprently dtdvnot add to the credence given to the predictions of 'other dividend In crease. Yesterday a violent rise of 4 points In Pacific Mall, and the strength of the Pa cific railroad stocks, was funr explained, by to day's reports of the chartering of stcamh:ps In the Pacific by the United States Govern ment, and In the Atlantic by the German Gov ernment for ue In the Pacific to transport military supplies to China. But Aho Inviting prospect thus afforded to lucrative traflls for th transcontinental railroad lines was offset today by some other considerations, of the re sults to accrue from the war 4n Xhlna. Wall street "has not clven much nutation hitherto to the check In export tiade In textiles caused by the unmtlement In China. " Tho uneasiness caused abroad by reports of Boxer inroads upon Russian territories brought salos of securities In New York for foreign aocount, and & reminder that forced liquidation abroad might throw considerable burdens upon the New York stock market. The day"s ship ments of gold were & reflection of the money needs of foreign markets, which are not un likely to grow acute if the government ex penditures for war should become large To day's engagements amounted to $2,009,000. which was more than $1.000 000 Icsb than an ticipated. A further sharp advance In sterling exchange at Paris, a, reduction In Uje Bank of England's price for American oagles, and a slight decline in ths London rate of discount, were all developments towards Itssentng the attraction nt Paris for gold. An advance- In the Bank of England rate of discount tomor row is not felt to be so certain now as yester day. Tho immediate continuity of the gold-export movement is thus felt to be In doubt. But if military operations are to be carried on In China, ths needs of the foreign governments for capital will certainly converge- upon New York, as this is now the cheapest money mar ket In the world. But the uneasiness Is caused by the conjecture as to the effect upon the New York money market when the Interior de mand for moving crops Is added to the foreign demand. The money mnrkct lnrfew York con tinues dull, but funds for time loans for the longer periods are scarce. The bond market continued dull, and the fluctuations were uneven.

Chamber of Commerce NOME U on or About Juiy 20, 1900 Steamship Co, Tsln, Henry Clark Davis, a brother of the dead officer, now living In this olty. volunteered hl3 services to the Govern ment. Mr. Davis sent the following tele gram to President McKlnley: "William McKlnley, President of the Un'ted States, "Washington: Am anxious to secure commission in Marine Corps or Army for immediate service In China, to take place of my brother. Captain Austin R. Davis, killed in battle of Tien Tsln. July 13. Can secure Indorsement of Il linois Senators and Congressmen. "Will you appoint me? "HENRY CLARK DAVIS." . For five years Henry Clark Davis served In the First Georgia Cavalry, and for 20 years he has been an active worker In church circles. He was born in Darlen, Ga. AMERICA'S NECESSITY. An Summed "Up by Secretary of Agri culture Wilson. CHICAGO, July 18. "The facts, we must get facts. "We cannot proceed ex cept on facts. ' No National policy cun 1 btt framed until thn fruits .aro. naeer- I tamed. We hare two verslons.'both- alike from Chinese sources; both on the faco equally worthy of credence. One view Is that the Legations were massacred. Last night we were told they survive. One may take his choice which to credit." Thus James Wilson. Secretary of Agri culture In President McKlnley's Cabinet, summed up America's necessity in the present stage of the Chinese crisis. He had been to Iowa to attend Senator Gear's funeral. "I do not think the President intends a series of Cabinet meetings, as he goes back to Canton soon." he continued. "There is no need of them. The troops already in China, or being hurried thither, will probably be adequate for the situa tion, at least until facts ascertained alter it. I can see no need now for an extra session of Congress, nor do I believe rt declaration of war Is necessary or expedi ent. So far" as "we know now, we are deal ing with an Insurrection, not with a govern ment. Besides, a declaration would oper ate to close every port of China against us, to make universal what so far Is but local. "However, whether the Legation has been murdered or not, it is most prob able that our missionaries and merchants have been killed. And one fact is abso lutely certain that America henceforward will protect her citizens In every land on the face ot tho earth. If our people have been slaughtered by an armed rebellion, that Is one thing. If by the participa tion of the Government of China, that is another. Wo must find out the facts before proceeding on a supposition. Our Government, when Italians were killed in New Orleans, gave money reparation. "We will expect tho like from China. "What the upshot will be in China is a matter of opinion. We are not venge ful, we do not mean to slaughter 1,000,000 Innocent Chinamen. But we will demand that never again shall conditions be such that our merchants and missionaries can i be cut off by the wholesale. America will oppose China's partition. Of course. If all Europe settles upon partition, we can not prevent It. I hope that Germany, Japan and America, with Great Britain, will be ablo to prevent partition. "Our wheat is going more and more to China. The day will come soon when all our. surplus foodstuffs will go across the Pacific Instead of the Atlantic Our cotton trade with Northern China in the very Gulf of PI Chi LI is enormous. Most Chinamen wear 'brown sheeting,' and American cotton makes the sheeting. "The best condition for us is perfect peace In China. We desire no territory there; only peace and permission torade. I don't even think we shall want to salve our Injuries by a great Indemnity. We ought to demand, of course, that each family which has suffered should be com pensated In money by China so far as money can do it. But that !s private rep aration." Milk Denlcrs Prosecuted. CHICAGO, July IS. The officials of the Health Department in this city have been sustained by Justice Gibbons In a test case, charslng a milk dealer with the use of formalin as a milk preservative. C A. Bellow was fined $200 and costs for violating the city ordinance, which pre vents the use of any preservative. City chemists were pitted against Professor do la Fontaine and Professor Gibson, of Leutgert fame, .both of whom were em ployed by Bellows to prove that the pro cess employed by the city was not suffi cient to establish the use of formal dehyde. The case was looked upon as a test of the ordinance, and the Health De partment will hasten to prosecute other dealers against whom they have evi dence. . - 1- c. i- etian ;. t :- .t ri r-t THE PALATIAL Ul BUILQIKG Sot n dnrlc otnee In tl lmlldlnsi ulolnteIy flreiroor: clcctrlo Jlsrhit and urtcninn vtatert perfect sanita tion and thoronRh t cntllntfan.
