THE MOKNIXG OBEGOEIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1900,
II
(jdSJHiBoiAi m
The dates on the -calendar offer about
the only testimony to the, fact, that we
are nedrFntr midTwlnter, for"'trierels but
little In the. veather for the past week
that was tVintcrlsh and thte fact con
tinues to present generous distribution
of Winter goodb." The holiday trade Is
on at full swing, however, and If It xnain
tains Its 'present proportions. It wlll'be
highly isajBSf&ctBry t"6all concerned. 'The
demand for Christmas 'goods' is heavier
than it has been 'for many years, . and
there is also a'gdod trade ih staple gro
ceries. Prices for the past, week have
ru.-.ed fairfy steady." There was a slight
bralge in wheat about a week ago. fol
lowed a few days later by a reaction, but
-the market is ann on the -up grade, and
2elter" prices1 are hoped ror, although the
outlook is not so bright-ae.lt-waa V short
time ago.
Importations of California produce are
heavier thrin they have beet? through the
Summer and Fall months; but the Call
fornlans are reciprocating ' to a certain
extent "by taking more Oregon potatoes
and onions than they -vyere- taking a few-
weeks earlier. The Northern Pacitic Rail
road has again joined-with the Puget
Sorund cities to shut Portland out of the
.Alaska trade, and this Is affecting the
demand for farm produce to a certain
es-tent. Up to tnc present time the North
ern has crunjted Portland merchants a
special rate n produce shipped to Tal
coma and Sr attic for A'.nskan porta, but
notice has been issued that this rate Is to
be withdrawn, and the old local1 rate,
-which is' prohibitive, is to be restored.
Hi the- rate which has been in effect
ever since the steamer T5eo. AV.-Eiderwas
on the- Aladc foule Portland was. en
abled to And a good market in the north
for sr.rplus stocks of butter, eggs, poul
try. - otatoes and similar products, which
will nbw be Obliged t6 f seek' a market

C eal and pork, w hlch slumped off a llt
ti'j list eek, "under- heivy receipts, 'and
roo much poultry In the market, have re
gained their strength. and are Felling up
no full prices 'this week. Oregon eggs
are-hteady, and Eastern eggs and butter
are still coming along wlth-as much reg
ularity as if there was, .not a .hen or a cow
in the state. TheJgrocery markets are
holding steady, -vyith fractional advances
in certain lines.
"WHEAT The wheat market continues
to hover around a low level of prices, and
the spasmodic periods pi strength are
always .followed up by relapses, which
leave the cereal in worse shape than be
fore the bulge was started- In the local
market conditions are about as they have
been throughout the season. Fierce com
petition among 'more exporters than are
operating 'in any other port on the Pacific
Coast kr eps prices from 1 cent to 3 cents
above tl e export value, and a decline In
X.iverpobl and the East is' frequently fol
f wed jy an advance locally. Thls'slrange
conduct would be" more easily explained
if thr;re "vvj'js tonnage to cover, but as
their Is wheat' enough on spot to load
every ship that can reach Portland by
February it nxx), it Is apparent that wheat
Is bourrht for 'the purpose of keeping the
"other fellow" from buying It, and not be
cause It is needed. This may be expen
sive pastime, but it has made Portland,
the- best wheat market on the Pacitic
Coast this season.
T Sales of Walll" Walla were made yes
terday at 51 "cents. nvhfch?Tvas from. a half
cent to a cent better than was openjy
quoted by some exporters'- This flgure,
with spot shops ho.ldlnj; for -Us, Cd, and
cargoes selling at less than ' 2Ss Cd In
XJverpool, will not enable a dealer to
ljulld brownstone fronts or buy steam
yachts out of the profits on the season's
"business: but It has theeffect of making
trade lively, "and Portland's exports for
the season will "be pretty close to the
record. There is some, demand .far blue
stem at the usual differential of 3 cents
per bushel over Walla Walla. V Valley, as
has been the case throughout the season,
has boen entirely In the -hands of the mil
lers, and export quotations are of small
value. There Is a good -deal of discussion
in agricultural circles as to why wheat
hns not followed oth'er products in the
strong upwarH movement which has been
In progress during the past three months.
General prosperity seems to" have lifted
other commodities, but general debility Is
about the 'only thing that has happened to
wheat.
AJ"c. Charles N. Miller, an old member of
th-e Chicago Board of Trade, and formerly
a the New York Produce Exchange, has
Just issued -a letter explaining" why the
"wheat market does not join the proces
sion of prosperity which has advanced
the prices of nearly all other commodities
in the past three years. It asks.y'What
Is the matter with wheat?" and Says:
The elevator managers who deal, figure
and degrade business. In the 'wheat pit on
lho. Chicago Board of Trade. In utter dls
oxsgard of the rights of pwnenshlp.. have
robbed the producers of wheat :n this
country of not less than 5350.000,000 on the
last three crops of wheat growJjere De
mand for wheat has been the best ever
Ttnown in the history of this country, yet
the producer has. all this time, been
forced to part with his property at mini
mum prices. Pick out some commodity
that Is honestly dealt in and see if it has
not always advanced greatly under a good
demand. "What can you name upon
which the seller's demand can be made
more; mandatory than upon bread? Still,
under the dishonest system of deallmr in
wheats on the Board of Trade, the pro
ducer is powerless to got his own. That's
vrtiat's the matter with wheat.
Seen months ago a petition, signed by
200 members of the Board of Trade, was
.sent to the directory praylns for an op
portunity to vote for the establishment
of a code of rules that would permit" any
member to bid and contract,for a speci
fied kind of w heat for delivery at a fixed
time. The rules under which this might
Ttxj done were drafted; they were simple
and direct. Xo existing system jt trad
ing was to be abrogated, no new
method of dealing whs to be en
forced, only the privilege was asked
for any member to step into
the wheat pit and make an honest bid
for an honest grade of wheat, to be hon
estly delivered. That petition has been J
smothered by men who want to continue
In the present dishonest practice: It has
never been reported for a vote, which Is
a clear violation of the rights of those
members who signed, it. That's what's
the matter with wheat.
The situation is before you; you know
the ca,nsestha1i opctate to make wheat
dQubtful property and keep the price
down. They will "be removed. Either "trie

Jpuroal of Commerce-reports a ..weaker
feeling in the Kist. and under' date of
December 8 prints the followlng-
The", continued absence of Important de
mand has a depressing effect upon the
local market, which has eased off materi
ally during the Jiast day or two, sales
having been made at llc under the pre-
'vlous quotations n some Instances. We j
revise our quotations accordingly. Ah
Impression prevails that a short Interest
f- exists- In-New York State hops, but that
those who are short are not looking for
any material change In, either direction
for some time to come, and are in no
hurry to cover, preferring to buy as they
need the stock. There is little 'evidence
of weakness In the country markets. Ad
vlceir from "WatcrvIUe state that while
there Is very little business in that mar
ket, srowers are still holding for higher
prices.
"WOOL A few transactions in wool have
been reported within the past week, but,
in comparison with the amount still on
hand, the business has beon of small-proportions.
Prices have been tt shade higher,
but have nbt'renchcd a point where 'much
L business cart be done. From present In
dication";, the amount on -hand January
1 wllljje the largest on record at a 'corre
sponding date. New York mall advices
under date of December S report the mar
kets lri the EaM. as follows: ' "
"The conTlitlon 'f the market Is rbout
what one fnmlllar .-with ihe trade might
expect at this season of the year. Man
ufacturers are In the throes of stock
taking and other buyers prefer to wait
until after the openlnc of the new year
before incurring additional obligations
f.ah"J making new plans. But J-he' past
week has been one of unusual peculiarity.
The market has been devoid of life;- there
has been very little. If any. inquiry on
the part of buyers, and knowing 'the dis-
inclination of manufacturers to move.
sellers have made no effort to dispose of
their wools, .-nd yet the sales will aggre
gate more than for any one week for
several months, the amount being 1,037,00
pounds. Of this 295,000 pounds were do
mestic and 742,000 pourids were foreign.
The domestic movement remains firm, de
spite the scare caused by the Teeent fail
ures, and there are "too desirable wools to
be, had at prices below the market level.
If tfiere is any depression it is due entire
ly to the woolen goods situation, which
has continued weak during the entire
Fall, owing to unseasonable weather. 'So
far as the Spring season Is concerned,
clothlera.considei' It almost a f.illurc, and
they are look'lng to the season In heavy
we'ghts to tide them over. It-has been
noted that spells of keen, cold weather
have. been '.fo:o wed by brisk demand for
woolens, but the Wintry blasts in this
section have not been of sufficient dura
tion to bring continuous trade. Manufac
turers have taken little Interest in ter
ritory" wools, of which thero is quite a
quantity In storehouse in this market.
Texas wools, have been quiet but firm, and
the market steady. The large pullers
are not -wijllng to part tvith their wools H
at a figure satisfactory to buyers. Some
of the smaller "pullers'in this city, -who arc
not considered wool'-dealers in the strict
sense of. the term, Ijaye been pressed for
money, arid have .parted with their stocks
at pries considerably below the market
One feature of rocentTtrndJng was the sale
of about 100.000i pounds of goats' hair at
market prices. tedium wools have been
in very quiet request, with the market
well sustained. Unwashed and unmer
chantable fleeces continue very quiet, but
values are maintained. Delaine wools arc
held .firmly by the. principal owners, about
1 cent aboVe what manufacturers are
willing to pay.' It is explained that bank
ers are not pressing the wbol trade for
money: on the contrary, there is a feel
ing of greater confidence, with the assur
ance; that wool paper is good and will be
extended".
FRUIT There Is an overs.upply of very
poor-grade apples on the street, and they
are sellins at very low prices, and" by
their presence affect the-figures on good
stock to a certain extent. It requires
very fancy stock to bring much over 51
per-'box. althouch some of the select va
rieties Jsell up 'close, to Jfl 50. ' For the
ordinary run of offerings, the price ranges
from 50 'cents per box up to S5 cents and
$U Oranges are becoming quite plentiful,
and th.e price Is declining, Bananas are
coming in quite freely three carloads
scheduled for this week, and all, arriving
In excellent condition. The opposition
banana company has not yet got to work,
so the trust continues to fix the price at
a flgure which does not make the fruit
very profitable,, for either wholesaler or
middlemen
POTATOES AND, ONIONS Fairly good
shipments of potatoes are again going to
San Francisco, and while the price Is not
very high, it seems to be sufficiently at
tractive to draw- out quite liberal offer
ings. Best "Burbanks are worth about
60 cents, but -the -greater part of the offer
ings sell around 50 and 55 cents. The
San Francisco market is also taking up
some of the surplus of onions In this state,
and while the Bay City dealers will not
pay the ""price asked fbr"select stock in
Portland, there Is a shippng demand at
about Jl 25 and U 40 per cental.
BUTTER There Is just enough Eastern
butter coming to hand to prevent any fur
ther advance in the Oregon product, and

'EGOS The, market, aas "appareritly
steadied again; and the demands of jthet
coming holidays -will undoubtedly be suP
ficlcnt to keep It from Tailing further in

SEW YORK. STOCK MARKET.
f Considerable Animation and Strength.
Dealings Well Distributed.
XEW YORK, Dec.' 12. Activity" In a
f ties was taken by traders today to dem
onstrate Increased Interest in the stock
market on the nresont outside nubile
1 Gains in these stocks were more extensive
jban the usual market leaders, and -ex-
tended to four -points in some cases. Gen
erally speaking, the market during the
forenoon displayed great animation and
strength, with speculative interest radi
ating from one group of stocksv to an
other. Factors which contributed to the
day's, rise included traffic statements for
the .first 'week of December, embracing
all sections o&the country, and showlne
substantial Increases. The fact that us
yet money rates have not exceeded 6 per
cent, and that today the highest figure
made was 514. which tapered off to 4 per
cent before the close, rendered specu
lators less "uneasy. " ""
"With the absorption by the Subtreasury
of Internal revenue collections, and trans
fer to the Interior, the banks thus far
this week have lost $3,200,000. Rates ur
sterling exchange continued to yield, 60
day bills declining 4 per cent. Itris" un
derstood that the question ot imports of
gpld Is being considered by a prominent
Institution on the basis of allowing In
terest on the money while in- transit.
With this relief apparently in sight,
should conditions become stringent In the
money market,' speculative pools became
active, and forced considerable 'covering
of .short lines. The market fJr Ameri
cans abroad was described as buoyant,
and the arbitrage houses bodght about
33.000 shares on balance for London. Th'.i
demand was primarily responslblefor the
weakness In sterling exchange rates, as
offerings of commercial acceptances were
only moderate.
At the outset of,busIness the coal stocks
were the principal features', and generally
got well above last night's close on an
enormous demand. These properties later
on showed the effect ot heavy realiza
tions. Heavy buying developed in the
steel stocks, owing to encouraging re
ports of the trade outlook. Tin-plate
made the extreme rise of 2, but Steel
and Wire was the most active, and a
good second, with a gain of 24. There
was very heavy buying at Intervals In
the grangers. Pacific and some of the
Southwestern stocks. During the "early
afternoon, after the foreign buying had
ceased, the demand showed 9lns of ex
haustion, and prices were Inclined to
yield. .., . v -'
In the final hour a raid was nnil-s on
Tennessee Coal, and the stock broke 4-"li
on a rumor that the dlrec?ors trwe lri
session .and had passed the quarterly
dividend on the stock. This movement
unsettled the entire market, and prices
fell away rafpldly, averaging a point" for
the" most prominent railroads and ex
tending to 2"A in the specialties; Tin-plate
being most affected. When It became
known that the report of'dlvidend action .
on Tennessee Coal was unfounded, the
stock rallied 2 points, and all other stocks
recovered somewhat, speculation leaving -off
strong again and active.
' Business in bonds' was very heavy, not
able strength being displayed by Kansas

under the inlluence of a decline at Liver
pool. For a moment only was local stuff
for sale. Traders found tnelr offerings
taken with a readiness that startled them,
and sentiment veered In consequence. X
better cash demand was reported, and on
this report shorts covered. Commissiorr
houses executed outside buying orders
which also aided prices. Later the smaller
primary receipts helped the advance along,
arid May touched 744c. On the bulge
some long stuff came out, but the close
was firm. May "4c higher, at 73"&74c. '

The Metal Markets.
NEW YORK, Dec 12. The principal
feature In the metal trade today was a
further heavy break af London, where
tin prices -went off 3 10s to 116 on the
bearish statistical situation and an- ava
lanche of selling orders. On receipt of
Lthls news the local market followed suit
anu DroKc aoout iz points to 526 25 ana
closed steady but weak. December tin
was- offered at 26. Though copper in
London declined 5s to 7 15s, the local
market remained quiet but about steady
on the basla bf J17 for Lake Superior and
16 ' for electrolytic and casting copper.
Lead ruled dull and nominally quoted at
4T37. while at London the price was
2s 6d lower at 16 6s 2d. Spelter .ruled
weak and unsettled at 5 points decline
owing' to an absence of buyers, closing

Ronton "Wool Market.
BOSTON, Dec. 12. The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
There is- some Improvement to be noted
In the wool market although prices can
not as yet be quoted higher. The- de
mand haa Increased somewhat and the
business has been more diversified. The
sales are more generally distributed In
the trade, and the number of manu
facturers, who have been buying Is larg
er but they are operating very care
fully. Manufacturers are talking hope
fully in several instances and feel en
couraged as to the outlook for the heavy
weight season. The colder weather has
acted as a stimulus and this has been ac
centuated by the tenor of advices from
abroad, where tops have advanced l-c
per pound and w ool markets are generally
firmer. '
The sales for the week in Boston
amounted to 3.S45.S0Q pounds domestic and
36T.OO0 pounds foreign, making a totalr ot
4,212.800 against a total of 3,517.500 for the
previous week and a total of 6.604.CO0 for
the corresDondlng week last year. The
sales since January X amount to 140,6J1,400
pounds, against 341,467,776 pounds for tho
corresponding time last year.
The Cotton Market.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. Cotton At the
start weak Liverpool cables', large for
eign selling orders, larger receipts than

ket an easy undertone, arid forced prices
off 110 points. After a slight addi
tional decline, the market qulckly
stcadied on room profit-taking. Later
prices rushed upward until a net rise of
1327 points was established. Trading
