COMMERCIAL AND
A slightly better feeling In the local
wheat market yesterday was the only
feature of special Interest In the trade
situation. In. the produce department
receipts were quite liberal, but there was
no change lnprlces There was quite
a large consignment of Japanese oranges
received yesterday.' Some of them came
from the Orient by way of San Francisco
and some by way o Puget Sound. The
Portland commission men have appar
ently not yetdearned that Portland has
a better steamship service o the Orient
than Is. enjoyed by atny other port on the
Coast except San Francisco, These com
mission men delight to get up and claw
the air and roar when one of their cus
tomer sends down; to San Francisco for
a bill of goods, but when they Import
oranges from the Orient by way of either
San Francisco or Puget- Sound.'lhey are
seftlng an example -In civil patriotism
which their ldcal retailers cannot be
blamed for following. -Receipts of poul
try have been very light this week, and
prices are ruling steady. Eggs are
trembling in the balance, and a few days
of mild weather would probably result In
sending them down a notch In spite of the
approachulng Christmas holidays.

PORTLAND MARKET?,
Grain, Floor, Btc
New York wheat, after a dull and unin
teresting session yesterday, closed half
a cent higher than on Monday. Liver
pool futures were also a little better, but
as a prompt shipment cargo of 'Walla
"Walla sold at a shade less than 2Ss 6d
In Liverpool, there was, not much incen
tive for an increase in bids in this mar
ket. Fifty-three cents was generally
quoted, with some dealers going half a
cent better, and some actual sales being
made at 54 cents. The movement Is
quite restricted, and the outlook favors
light business and low prices. Another
cargo cleared yesterday, and two others
finished loading.

EW TORK STOCK 3IARKET.
Heavy Demand With Trndlnjr Very
Widely .Distributed.
NEW YORK. Dec 11. The demand for
stocks today was so large, so urgent and
so widely distributed, as to suggest a
recrudescence of the "bullish enthusiasm
of the period immediately following. the
election. The mdtives of this buying,
and the strength of the whole market,
were somewhat mysterious. The Anthra
cite group had its own partlcufar cause
of strength In the circumstantial asser
tions of the passing control of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company tothe Erie Rail
road and the consequent frustration of
the plan for a.newrallcoad from the coal
regions to tidewater to satisfy the idea
of the Independent"" operirxors regarding
transportation rates. The' threatened con
struction of this road has Toog beep a bug
bear to the" anthracite companies and the
adjustment of Anthracite affairs Involved
in the abandonment of this plan would
be pf- great Importance- as was plainly
shown by the buoyanco of all the stocks
In. the group. No authorltatlvex.connrma-j
l tion could be had of the reports cur
rent, Dut the record or the tape was
strongly confirmatory, the galps In the
group running from 1 to 3 points.
There was some demand for London -account
on the opening of a new account
incident to the settlement, but this buy
ing Is called professional arbitrage oper
ation, and may originate either In New
York or In London. The most marked
effect wae produced on Southern Pacific,
I which opened up 1 and advanced later
to 43. closing at the -highest. The be
lief has prevailed in Wall street that
there vas a pry heavy short account In
some of the railroad stock's lor which
Western speculators t ere liable, the spec
ulation extending also Int,o the Steel
stocks.. The bear account 4p the latter
group has been aimed at by the advance
this week, and may have been reached
In the railroad group today. The money
market outlook continued threatening so
that the supposition Is -aroused that to-
day's buying Is for 4he account of financial-interests
which are' independent of
the ordinary resources of the money mar
ket .
The Subtroasury has already taken
from the market this week the sum of
$2.20S,000, so that the Inroad on the re
sources of the batiks promises to be as
great this week as it was last week. The
London money market was not affected
today by yesterday's sharp drop In the
sterling exchange here, and exchange
rates fell a further fraction. This may
foreshadow an- acquiescence Jn the New
York demand for gold." ' The shipment
from, .India to London of $2,500,009 In gold
In payment for silver may be Inter
cepted, and diverted to the New York
market as was done with the last eiml
lar shipment, but Its' arrival In New
York would be too remote to 'affect the
present situation, "even if It wfere ascer
tained. Whatever the motive, the
strength In stocks was well maintained
to the close, except in the Steel group.
The bond market was Irregular. Total
sales.-'par 'vnlue, $4 045,000.

CHICAGO. Dec "11. During the forenoon

"holding merely stea'dy under the encour
agement vouchsafed by Northwest ad

on the expectation of a moderate world's
visible decrease. January opened, un
changed to He higher, at 73 to 734c, and
sold during the first hour to T3V4c A frac
tional recession from this point followed,
but later New York reported 53 loads
taken for export, 10 of them from Chicago,
and Bradstreefs world's visible figures
showed a decrease of 2.1S4.000 bushels, all
of which Influenced shorts to cover. In

THE COTTOX REPORT.
Statistician nyde Prononnces Report
of Advance Information, n Fake.
"NEW YORK, Dec 1L A special to the
Times, from Washington says: The story
originating In New York -hat advance
information on the Government cotton
report had been offered for sale on Sat
urday on the Cotton Exchange came to
the ears of John Hyde, statistician for
the Department of Agriculture.
"The story was a pure fake," said Mr.
Hyde. "I have been occupied personally
In getting the material for this report to
gether and I "took care fnat It was not
published prematurely. No one has as
sisted in the work. The report has never
been out of my possession. If anbody
offered to sell what purported to be the
Government report he must have made
it 'himself for commercial purposes:"
Mr. Hyde spoke of the New York story
as a simple effort to Impose upon some
body.. a the affairs of his bureau are so
managed that It would o"e difficult it not
Impossible for anybody having access to
any part of the statistical work oT the
bureau to make up a crop report without
attracting attention and running the risk
of a disgraceful exposure and dismissal.
He says that the story' should not have
been vreg&rjded seriously, as he had em
phatically denied it on Saturday to sev
eral persons who bad asked him if it
were true.

Ho was taken to an accident hospital,
where he died a few moments later. It
was learned by the police that Harmon
had been In the room of Mrs. Maggie
Culp. The woman left the building
through a Tear door, and the detective
force of this city has been unable to find
her. The -police were at first inclined
ta believe that Harmon had committed
suicide, but after an Investigation they
state that they believe that in passion
of Jealous rage the woman poured the
acid In the mcuth and over the face of
Harmon, whom they assume was sleep

made threats to kill Harmon whom she
knew was contemplating marriage to an

JjI Unnar Chanp, the Hope of China.
Leslie's Weekly.
LI has saved the Manchu dynasty once
before. It Is so long ago that most peo
ple have forgotten that it was he who
put down the famous Tal Ping rebellion,
which raged through China from 1850 to
1S5S. This rebellion, starting In the moun
tains north of Canton, swept through the
whole empire. Its forces reached Tien
Tsln on their way to the capital, and
but for LI would surely have succeeded
In establishing a new dynasty on the
throne. Earl LI was the first Chinaman
to realize the advantage of Western civ
ilization, and ever since he called In the
American, Ward, and "Chinese" Gordon,
to help him put down the Tal Pings he
has steadily remained the friend of for
eigners and the most progressive of Chi
namen. For 30 years he has had an
English private secretary- He has kept
a steam yacht for his trips on the Pi:l
Ho and the Grand Canal; he strung the
first telegraph lines In China down the
Taku roaod from his Yamun to the forts
at the mouth of the river; he developed
the great Tal Ping coal mines, and Is
really the builder of all the railroads
now existing In China.
