10 THE MOENING OEEGONIAK, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1900. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS ETXIE3rENT OF COAL STRIKE HELPS EASTKRJf TRADES. Bat Btne In Blnny Kerw Lines la Kept Down by Election. Excitement. NEW YORK. Oct 19. B. G. Dun & 3os weekly review of trade tomorrow "will say: A settlement of' the coal strike satis factory to all Interests having been ef fected, "business breathes more freely In the East, and distribution of merchandise is increasing slowly again, though the election excitement keeps new buying in many lines down- to wants for immediate consumption. In the West there is not the same hesitation, and there, as well as In the South, the marketing of the crops is responsible for a feeling of much con fidence in the Tnovement of "business, If the Ration accounts conservatively at the polls. Prices of commodities are weaker and the caution so gratifying in a Presi dential year keeps speculation at a mini mum. Cotton further declined, making the loss" about $6 a bale in two weeks. Planters are rushing -work and picking is expected to progress rapidly enough to save most of the crop from early frost. High prices make i possible to pay good -wages to pickers, and tho movement at receiving joints increases largely. Domestic spin- ,ners are not liberal buyers, but exports are only slightly smaller than a year ago. Wheat has shown more weakness, due in part to the greater activity at Russian ports, and Atlantic ports for the week "were only 2,647,255 bushels, against 3,270,- 225 a year ago. Few important fluctuations occurred in Iron and steel, but there were small ad vances in Bessemer pig at Pittsburg and billets at Philadelphia. Moderate gains are reported In the volume of transac tions, although the tendency Is to delay flarge contracts a few -weeks. Imple-'snent-makers take har iron freely and or ders for pipe are urgent, with severe weather coming on. Structural shapes are taken for foreign points as far dis tant as Egypt and domestfc brldge-build-,ers buy- freely. .More mills have gone Jnto blast -and -the general tone is im proving. Prdducllon of coke has in creased, "but prices are easy and many ovens are still idle. . Tin declined again, nJ&king. hsfall 1, "cents Jn two weeks and,6 cents from, the .high point in July. Leather and hides 'are Arm "and selling 'freely, because of the steady improve ment in the demand for boots and shoes. 'Jobbers -are placing large orders with manufacturers and the demand is no longer limited to Fall goods. Spring con tracts are increasing at an encouraging irate, although an effort is made to keep these sales as quiet as possible, owing to the effect on the market for raw material. While woolen mills are not working at frull capacity, more seasonable wca,ther has increased buying in this line, end .purchases of -wool at the three chief East tern markets increased to 4,524,000 pounds, the best total for a long time, although 'still far below the amount taken through speculative activity a year ago. Prices are steady and holders show no less con 'fidence. Failures for the week were 209 in the "United States, against 145 last year, and 26 in Canada, against 20 last year. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK.

Qolet bnt Confident Feeltnfr. in tfce General Trade. NEW TORK, Oct. 10. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: - - As the jobbing trade tends to lessen with the advance of the Fall season, the repressive Influence of ante-election feel ing becomes more clearly perceptible, and the result is a generally quiet, though at the same time confident, feeling In general trade, which the stock "market has apparently begun to discount, with the result of swelling current bank clear ings well above recent totals. As for some lime past, the best trade advices come from the South, which remains cheerful in spite of lower cotton. Pacific Coast advices are that export trade is very large, as the result of Army needs and Asiatic requirements. Northwestern trade is, on the whole, quiet, and the disposition to charge the election with' this is manifest. Eastern wholesale trade is quiet but steady. Gross railway returns continue excel lent, considering the reports of quiet in all other lines, and net returns for Au gust are .much more encouraging than those of July. The country's foreign trade Is In a flat tering conditoin. September exports being the. largest ever reported for that month, and, swelled by high prices, cotton ship ments, nine months' returns are far in advance of -all previous years. '-Imports, on the other hand, show few" gains, and the outlook is for a record-breaking ex port trade and a merchandise balance for the calendar year far In advance of all other years Prices of farm products have tended downward this -week. The most notable drop has been In cotton, half a cent for the week, and 1 cent from the highest point reached, due to the good picking weather and absence of frost, encourag ing maximum estimates of yield, and also because of the heavy weight of receipts hrought out by the high prices of two weeks ago. The repression noted Is perhaps most prominent In the Iron and steel industries, where values for the cruder materials re main well down to the lowest point reached in more than a year past, and even here it may he noted that a larger volume of steel rail orders has been placed this year than In former periods. Sales this week of rails are estimated at 14,000 tons, mostly at the West. Struc tural material makers are reported ex ceptionally, well fixed as to orders, al though a meeting of makers. It Is ru mored, may cut rates. Pig iron has been slow of sale, but Chicago reports that a; business of at least 100,000 tons Is In sight that may be plaqed after election. The large steel mills are well supplied with orders, though at low prices, and the usual scramble for Fall business is ab sent this year. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregated 4,796,643 bushels, against 4,297.855 bushels last week, 4,160, 618 bushels In the corresponding week of 1899, 4,282.773 bushels In 18SS. 5,552,171 bush els in 1897. and 4,067.217 bushels in 1S96. From July 1 to date this season, wheat exports were 55,311,165 bushels, against 65. 125,665 bushels last season and 61,510,889 in 1898-99. Business failures for the week number 223 in the Ulnted States, against 210 last week, 221 In this Week a. year ago, 213 In 1898, 205 in 1897. and 292 in 1896. Canadian failures for the week number 22, against 36 last week, 20, in this week a year ago, 24 in 1898. 27 in 1897, and 48 in 1896. In Financial Markets. NEW TORK, Oct. 19. Bradstreet's financial review tomorrow will say: Any acute apprehension about the mon ey market was relieved by the large amounts of gold which New York bank ers produced abroad and which are on the way to this country. The sum total of the present gold Inflow Is over $9,000,000, and though thljr amount is little greater than the shipments of money from New York to the interior In some recent weeks, the effect, even In advance of the specie's arrival, was decidedly favorable, owing largely to the gold-importing arrange ments and to a falling off In the supply of cotton bills. Foreign exchange recovered this week from Its recent break and Is again at a point which cuts off further gold Imports. The fact, however, that In case of danger to our money market as sistance could be had abroad could hard ly fall to give Increased satisfaction to the financial and speculative markets. In this connection Wall street was particu larly struck by the announcement that the Bank of France would put no ob stacle In the way of moderate gold with drawal for shipment to New York, if it was needed here. It is also noted with satisfaction that, though some of the spe cie now on the way hither was taken from the Bank of England or France, most of the shipments represent amounts of bullion picked up in the open markets, and one Important sum of 52,500,000, In cluded In the National City Bank's con signment, consists of bar gold from South Africa. The operations. In short, have been conducted In a way which has ob viated any disturbance of the foreign money markets, discounts at both London and Berlin being a little lower and fear of a disturbance caused by American de mands for payment of Its credit balances being allayed. This, however, does not result In any increased foreign partici pation In our stock market, and London has ever been a small seller of securities on the advances which were recorded here. Ore pro n Industries. A good run of salmon Is reported from Elk River. Curry County. One hundred goats were sold at Leba non this week at $4 per head. Edward Bailey, of Curry County, has Imported six thoroughbred Cotswold bucks. J. M. Neal shipped 1200 horses from the Jordan Valley recently. There are at present over 3500 horses In that section. C. D. McFarlin picked 613 bushels of cranberries from his marsh on North Slough, Coos County, this season. Last year he had over 700 bushels. James England, president of the La Grande branch of the Mormon Church, has charge of arrangements for con struction of a church building at that place. Up to the first of this week the David son Fruit Company has sold to Hood River fruitgrowers 30,000 apple boxes for this year's crop. It is estimated that 20, 000 moro will be required. The Shaniko warehouse has been a busy place recently. Freighters with eight and ton-horse teams have been loading goods for Silver Lake, Summer Lake, Prineville, Mitchell, Antelope, Hay Creek and other southern points. The Dalles Distilling Company has filed Its bond of $10,000. Tho still and 22 mash tubs arrived Wednesday. The distillery bulldlng Is nearly Inclosed, and operations will commenco as soon as formalities of the revenue office will permit. Tho Douglas County Poultry Associa tion was formed at Roseburg this week. It will hold a poultry and pet stock show at that city December 20-22. Next week organization of the association will be perfected and officers will be elected. G. W. Weatherly, of Portland, who Is going to put In a creamery plant at Junc tion In about four weeks, Is collecting cream from farmers and shipping It to Portland until the completion of his plant. He shipped 403 pounds of cream to Port land Tuesday. Tho shipment of fresh prunes from Union County will be less than for years, according to the La Grande Journal. There are nearly 100 farmers in the coun ty who have small dryers which they have built for their own use, and most of the prunes will bo used for home con sumption. The old Sanger mine, eight miles north east of Burkemont, a free milling ore property, is reported sold for $100,000 to an Eastern syndicate and Walla Walla In vestors. The mine paid well, in the past but legal -complications stopped opera tions. If includes a 20-stamp mill, a saw mill, and supplementary buildings. Passenger trains arriving from the East yesterday were heavier than usual, by reason of the fact that they carried quite a number who had availed themselves of the settlers' rates, the trains having left 'the Eastern terminals last Tuesday, when the cheap tickets were put on sale. Most of these left the trains before reaching Portland, but enough came through to in dicate that the new rate will have an ap preciable effect on "travel.

Another' Fleet Close at Hand Taco- xoa's Harbor Round-the-Horn Ships Bring1- Tales of Death. Three ships finished loading In this port yesterday, the Slrlus, Dechmon't and Kll mory, bringing the October fleet to date up to a total of nine vessels, with over a third of the month left for the rest of the fleet to finish. All of the ships are receiving good dispatch except the Deccan, which has been more unfortunate than any ship that has been held up in port this season, and will be liable to commence loading before well long in, November. The decision .to rebuild the ship has been abandoned, but she will be obliged to lose two or three weeks' time In port while her decks are being calked. By the time the Deccan is ready to load, there will be another fleet in the river or very close at hand. Of this fleet, the Bossuet, 146 days out from Nantes, is the nearest at hand of any of the vessels, being fully due, with thfe French bark Alice, 125 days from Havre, very close behind her. The Brit ish ship Langdale, which comes from Liv- erpool in Balfour, Guthrie & Co.'s regular line, with general cargo, Is out 116 days, and would not be making a record-breaking passage If she arrived this month. The Morven left Acapulco about a month ago, and Is due early in November. Th3 Leicester Castle, Gertrud and Muskoka, all from Shanghai, have sailed from tho other side, and are due early In Novem ber. These vessels, with a couple from Honolulu, and the Astracana and Cro martyshire, from Southern Ca'itornla ports, will make a pretty fair showing for November, although f rom" present appear ances the fleet next month may be small er thai that for October. -WHERE SHIPS ARE WRECKED. Reasons "Why Tn coma's Wheat Fleet . Increases So Slowly. The Tacoma News prints the following: "Tacoma has a- harbor so deep that there Is no inhibition to tho dumping b" ballast anywhere within Its Immense area. It Is perfectly landlocked and -free from storms or rough water, yet It Is so wide and easily accessible that ships may sa I In from the open ocean without pilots or towage charges. "Portland, the only real rival to Taco ma, has a so-called harbor in a shall jw river, at the mouth of which is an ever-, troublesome sandbar. Portland msy dump money Into Its river, until dooms day and It will never have a harbor that can compete with the one that nature has provided for Tacoma. No one betttr appreciates this fact than the business men and shipping interests of Portland." The News Is kind to remove Seattle, Ev erett, Port Townsend and 'other rnspe:t lve seaports from the map, in order that Tacoma may defeat Portland alone and single-handed, but there are a few state ments In connection with that matchless harbor which need explanation. For In stance, if it is "landlocked and free from storms or rough water," how was the Andelana capsized, lying in the regular anchorage grounds, and why Is she st 11 resting where she sank? If the harbor was "landlocked and free from storms," what unseen power tore the S'r Robert Fernie from her moorings and sent her scudding across the bay. to almost certain destruction had it not been for the efforts of a tug, which promptly libeled the ves sel for $50,000, most of which was granted because the testimony was to the effect that the vessel would have been a total loss, had the tug not been available. If "nature" was so generous In provid ing Tacoma with an Incomparable ar bor, why ie the Northern Pacific spen'dJng' millions in order to make a safmocrin,--place for ships while they are loading? And why did nature take tho bottom .out of the harbor she built, and leave the teredo there to eat up piling almost as fast as It Is driven. In regard to the ships that "s.all In frcm the open ocean without pl'ot or towage charges," so many of them have paused in the vicinity of Flattery rocks, Cai e Beale and Bonilla Point that the region thereabouts has the largest collection of marine wreckage that can be found 'any where between Panama and Alaska,and the southwestern corner of Vancouver Island, which guards the entrance to the Straits of Fuca, is known the world over as the marine graveyard of tho Pacific Coast. For the ships which escape the rocks of Vancouver Island. Cape Flattery, Point Wilson, and the dozen o'har dan gers which must be dodged In reaching a port on Puget Sound, there Is a tow i -re charge greater than the cost of both tow age and pilotage between Portland trd the sea. Tho News should move out of Its glass house before It shies stones. MERCHANT MARINE GROWTH. Method by Which Other Nations In crease Their Maritime Greatness. And still they go. The Dutch, Germans, French, Norwegians, Italians and every other nation of Importance on the faca of the earth except the United States is out in the open market buying sailing ships wherever they can find them. The German ship Wandsbek, which carried a cirgo of Walla Walla wheat from Portland last Spring, piled up on. the the coast of Ire land on her outward trip, and became a total loss. She was a money-maker and freights were high, so Instead of polrg out of business, her owners promotive bought the British bark Ancyra. which also sailed from Portland last Janu-ry. and now the Ancyra Is sailing the jeai as the Gorman bark Wandsbek. The diminutive bark Doxford, which has carried many a cargo of wheat from Portland, Is now the Dutch bark Hrn rlette Haasmann, and the old Persian Empire has been sold to the Norwegians and renamed the Cinco, tho old Vall--'o is now the Italian, bark Amlclzla. When an American vessel Is lost, the owner )-as no recourse but to wait until another ves sel can be built, and this handicap Is lh-" principal cause of the limited size o' America's merchant marine. THE OVERDUES. No News of the Wnchnsett, and Rates Are Hi-rher. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19. The failure of the City of Pekin to report tthe fhip Wachusett, coal loaden, from Newcastle, Australia, for Kahulul, In Hawaii, has caused reinsurance on that long overdue vessel to advance to 90 per cent. The-o are 16 men on the Wachusett, which left Newcastle on May 13. The ship Yosemlte left the same port eight days later, and reach Kahulul, August 10. On October 10, two months later, the Wachusett had not reached Kahulul. Reinsurance Is also offered on the Brit-, ish Iron bark Limache. In ballast from Callao for -Tocopllla. She Is out 94 day1, when the voyage should have been made In 35 or 40 days at the outside. There Is much speculation, too, on tho Alex McNeil, which left Port Blake'ey, Puget Sound, on May 3, for Freemantle. on the west coast of Australia, and which has not been reported. Fifty per cent Is offered on her. ROUGH OFF THE HORN. ;Ameriean Shin Aryan Loses Doats- Trn'in nnd Two Men. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19. The -ship Sprlpgburn, which has reached this port 152 days from London, reports a very rough passage around Capo Horn. On August 15 she was on her beam ends. The mizzen topgallant yand came down and for a time the vessel -was in much danger; On October 10 the Sprlngburn spoke the American ship Aryan, from New York to San Francisco, whose captain reported tha the boatswain and two men had been washed overboard off the Horn. PACIFIC COAST COMPART1. Will Have Two Largre New Steamers for Xts Line. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has arranged several important additions to its fleet and improvements in its service for the following year, principal among which is the building of two large, modern passen ger steamers to run between San Fran cisco and Puget Sound. The steamers now employed on that route are to be re built for colliers'. The now passenger steamers will be 400 feet long, with a guaranteed speed of 18 knots per hour, and superior accommodations for 500 pas sengers. The steamer State of California, which will be withdrawn from the Portland route, will be operated between Seattle and Skagway as an express steamer, run ning opposite to the new steamer Spo kane, now building at the Union Iron Work and designed expressly for tlia't service,- In addition to these steamers, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will operate on the Southeast Alaska route the steamers City of Topeka, Al-Kl, Cot tage City and Senator, the latter to run exclusively between Vancouver and Skag way. Three Deaths at Sea. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 19. The British bark Inverurie has arrived from Swansea with her foremast broken, and there had been three deaths during the voyage. The vessel was ordered Into quarantine, and no information regarding the cause of the deaths has been obtained. Marine Notes. The United States transport Lennox ar rived at Kobe Wednesday. The Thyra has not yet reported out. There was. a high wind on the river nearly all day yesterday, which made It a difficult matter to handle the ships, with the harbor "in its present crowded condition, and the Europe, which was to go alongside elevator dock, will not move until ' today. The steamer Geo. W. Elder is due from San Francisco this mornjng. She did not leave San Francisco until late Wednes day afternoon, and as the weather has been very boisterous off the coast, she is not expected to .make fast time. The heavy weather at Astoria yesterday did not Interfere with the movements of the grain fleet, as all of the vessels that are ready for sea crossed out before the storm arrived.
