There was a Jittle better feeling in
the wheat markets in Eifrope yesterday,
"but the East was not showing any signs
of -strength, and In the local market there
was only moderate Interest takenjn, mat
tecs. Some sales of Walla "Walla were
reported, at 54 cents, and as. usual .(there
were reports of half a cent better be
ing paid. The exact stilus of the freight
market was determined yesterday by the
charter of the Blairhoyle, a spot ship,
at 42s Gd, a rate which would ordinarily
"be termed pretty high, but tv hlch Is quite
moderate in comparison with some of the
recent fixtures. Two more cargoes' fin
ished loading yesterday, and another will
follow today. v

country's prosperity could not have beenj -
more strikingly demonstrated than by
such movemenras'today. Wall street has
lived for some time post as. in. abounding
confidence that the aecprities were bound
to go up after the exigencies of the year
ly settlements "KaS- JJeen met, and the
money supply- replenished by a reflux of
funds bytsbursefcrmnts of dividends or

a squeeze in.- the "money market, and a
forcing of speculative" liquidation, it was
not until lalk r5ythat a solution 'of the
market enigma was offered In he Intima
tion -that the losses by the"banks during
the Week which are conclusively shown
by .the knnJynmayenients of money have
been offset hy a gain of pyer 54,000,000
from some local sources." This lntlma
tiori coming on-top otaiserles of favora
ble developments threw the market Into a
tate of boiHng 4nInaat4oA and buoyancy.
The eager' buying demand came from
al--sourcesjMprofessional' bears who were
short of the market competing anxiously
with the rampant bujls, w ho. distributed
their buyingorders with a lJtvlsh hand
all through, th, list. The contrastwas a
striking orie,' with' the conditibns'at the
close last night, when not even the phe
nomenal advance In the 'Erie stocks was
able to onercome uneasiness of specula
tors o'8rth'e palpable showing of the
absorption by the Subtreasury of practi
cally enough to completely wipe out the
surplus reserves of the banks. The mls-
placed confidence of bear operators in
last nighVs selling was an important fac
tor in emphasizing today's" advance. The1
full strength of the market was by no
means manifest in the early dealings, al
though the outburst In the Wabash se
curities had a fortifjlng effect. Even the
industrials and specialties which hung
back m the -early dealings recovered
buoyantly to above last night's close. St.
Paul rose nearly 4vpoints and a long list
of Jrallroad sftcks advanced from l'to 3
points.
Just what js the source of the special
movement of cash which has offset the;
week's outgo to the Subtreasury Is not
definitely disclosed, but the belief Is gen
eral, that It is connected with the pay
ment,jot the Standard Oil dividend, which
was .due tomorrow, and which amounts
to 51060.000. . , .
The bond market showed a large volume
of dealings and prices advanced, the se
curities most notably affected being of
the same companies as those In the stock
market. ""Total sales, par value. 55.330,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged

The Metal Market.
NEW YORK. Dec. 14. There was a
lock -of important business in all lines
of the metal trade. Today's market
ruled generally quiet, with special Impor
tant features. Advices from abroad
lacked Incentive In either direction, where
prices for tin at London remained un
changed, with demand at prevailing
ratos confined to supplying the immedi
ate wants of buyers on the basis of 117
10s. The situation locally was dull and
nominally unchanged at 52575 for spot.
Copper In London was '10s higher, -owing
to a falling off in arrivals, and closed
firm at 71 12s 6d. This factor failed to
Influence local traders, and our market
ruled -dull and unchanged at Id higher
fdr Lake Superior and 16s Sd for casting
copper 'and- electrolytic, with sellers at
-those figures. Lead nominally 54 37U,
with sales of only small lots reported.
In Condon, however, prices were again
lower,-, reaching 16. Spelter was dull,
with' business small at- 54 15g4 20. Lon-
don- quoted at 1S 15s. Domestic Iron
markets were dull and featureless at un
changed prices. Advices from English
markets -again showed further losses at
Glasgow and Mlddlesborough. Closing
prices were 60s 2d53s 9d, respectively.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14. Fluctuations on
the Cotton Exchange today approached
the sensational movement of last Mon
day, and qt times the volume of trading
closely resembled the business done on
that day. Weakness1 in the English mar
ket led to a decline of GglO points on the
call here. At midday the market was
24 under yesterday's close. At the close
the markot was very steady, net un
changed to 7 points higher.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.
We regret that 'the Legislature will be
obliged to waste a good part of the ses
sion on the election of a Senator. Sena
tors shquld be elected by a direct vote of
the people. Lebanon Criterion.
Throughout, the course of Kruger has
been devoid of tact, diplomacy or states
manship. The consequences of his reck
less actions are most distressing. The
Boers, as a people, Tare deserving of pro
found sympathy, but not Kruger. His
course has been reprehensible. Dalles
Chronicle. '
tIf the state's lawmakers at the ap
proaching session of the Legislature
would devote their time to correcting
some lame places In existing laws and re
pealing a number of obnoxious ones, in
stead of piling up a multiplicity of unnec
essary legislation, the Interests v of the
state would be better served. Albany
Herald.
The proposition to divide Oregon Into
two states is too absurd to merit any con
sideration whatever. As yet the state is
very sparsely settled, having but a. frac
tion over four inhabitants to the square
mile, according to the last census. When
Oregon becomes more densely populated
it will be the time to discuss division.
Eugene Register.
All Americans naturally regret to see
two republics wiped off the map In South
Africa or anywhere else, and If President
Kruger would stay with hi people ana
die In the last ditch, his conduct would
be worthy of admiration. But as a ske
daddler who left his people In the lurch,
it is not to be wondered at that the Kai
ser snubbed him. Heppner Gazette.
Reports from Washirgton say the lobby
is hard at work on the ship s"ubldy bllL
If there is as much merit In this bill as
the literature sent out in its Interest
seems to indicate, what Is tho need of a
lobby and an unlimited amount of boodle
to bolster It up and convince the weak
kneed Congressmen; that Jt Js the proper
thing for this great and booming country
of ourr "which is so" much In need of a
larger carrylngi fleet of vessels. Burns
Items.
One of the worst blots on President Mc
"Klnley's Administration is his action In
the'Eagan affair, and now he''has done
just what everybody expected "he would
do restore Eagan, so that he might re
tire as a pensioner of the Government
Eagan was first qonvicted by a court-mar-,
tlal, and the President .fixed his pufilsli
men at 'suspension oh full nay. Now .her
has restored the General and allowed him
to be placed on the retired list. Just such
acts as this Is what breeds anarchy In
this country. Dalles Tlmes-Mountalneer.
The coming Legislature -will be engaged
to a considerable extent n remedying the
errors of other Legislatures. There are
several laws with flaws that demand se
rious attention. From .all indications, the
nxt Legislature will be a hard-working
body. There will be some, of course, con
scienceless, who will be influenced by
money, but the large majority will be true
to their constituencies and endeavor to
make a record that will brighten their po
litical future. Last Spring's campaign
certainly Impressed them with the fact
that the people propose to be properly
represented. and will cast into oblivion all
who are unfaithful tp the trust placed In
them. Woodburn Independent.
Portland's lending business men are In
favor of hold a big fair In that city In
1902 or 1903. We believe that such a fair,
properly managed, and undertaken on a
large scale, would be of vast benefit to
the State of Oregon and the whole North
west. It would attract the attention a
the world to our resources and manifold
advantages at i time when we are Just
beginning to reach out after new enter
prises and to take on a larger life, owing
to tho developing Oriental trade. It woula
be well-for-the Oregon Legislature to as-
slst the enterprise by making an Initial
appropriation, In case ithc matter shall
have assumed, such, shape as to justify It
by that time Salem Statesman.

Boston Herald.
The arrival of Mr. Kruger, ex-President
of the South African Republic. In France
Is an event which the opposition party in
the French Republic proposes to make
use of for the political damage of the
party responsible for the government.
There is in all great nations an easily
aroused popular hostility to rival nations.
If Germany had besn carrying on war
against the Boers, no doubt a large num
ber of Frenchmen would have welcomed
President Kruger for the purpose of ex
ploiting through him their hostility
agalnt the German people. England la
just now almost as keenly disliked by a
great many of the French people as Ger
many, .and. hence, the presence of Mr.
Kruger affords an opportunity of making
what is assumed to be a display of both
sympathy and patriotism. In which, as
the government cannot Join, it may be
popularly charged with want of sympa
thy and want of patriotism. The French
Government cannot afford to make itself
responsible for what would be deemed to
be actions offensive to England, a nation
with which France ia upon terms of In
ternational amity. Those political leaders
that are now in the opposition would take
the same ground that those representing
the government take If they. Instead of
the latter, were responsible for the policy
of the government In other words, such
demonstrations of welcome are simply
buncombe, dictated not by kindly regard,
but by international dislike, and the fur
ther desire to render those in authority
unpopular. We should witness a similar
dlstdrted expression of public opinion If
Mr. Kruger were to extend his travels to
the United States. He would be effu
sively welcomed by the leaders of the
Democracy, In the hope that In this way
they could make the American people
believe that they were much" more kind
hearted than their Republican opponents.
Even now we find in a number of news
papers. In this Instance in Republican as
well as Democratic publications, denun
ciations of General Kitchener's stem
methods of forcing the Boers to cease
their warlike operations, and these made

Shetland Ponies.
The Spectator.
The Shetland pony, tho smallest of his
race and family, the greatest prize and
possession, of our childhood, is now be
coming quite a personage on his own ac
count. His birthplace and bringing up, his
career and obsequies, are unique In the
history of the world's domestic animals.
Born In hyperborean "Islands of a'dlminu
tie father and still more diminutive
mother, he passes from pasture to pasture
in boats, till he goes to the south In a
ship with hundreds of his companions.
Then he descends thousands of feet Into
the earth, where he works by artificial
light all his life, and at his death is
brought above ground to be buried. To
work in the mines is the destiny of the
majority of Shetland ponies. Lord Lon
donderry kept a famous stud of them,
presumably for use In his collieries. This
stud has been dispersed, but there are
several In the South of England In which,
by careful breeding, the ponies are kept
small. These are mostly bred for home
user and for ladles' and children's pets.
But in the pits the Shetland peny Is still
indispensable. If it were not for him
coa.1 would be even, dearer than it la. He
never goes on a strike, his temper Is ad
mirable, he never grows restive, even If
he bumps his head, which Is the only ac
cident which commonly afflicts him, and
fo guard against Which the more thought
ful coal owners provide him with a leath
er helmet. Now that the pits are "Ighted
with electric light, the ponies sight does
not suffer. They have fire stables, with
movable boarded floors, so that they
never suffer from thrush or cracked heels,
and as the temperature Is uniform they
do not catch cold. Pure Shetlands are
the only breed which keeps small enough
to work In the seams, een Iceland
ponies rrovlng too big arl too excitable.
There Is no room to jump about In a
coal gallery, and the conversion of the
diminutive "Sheltie" Into an equine mole
Is one of the greatest tributes to Its
placid disposition, ard to the determina
tion of its race never to be anything but
ponies. In the quaint phrase of one of
their admirers. "There are no ponies
small enough to push the Shetlands out
of their deserved position."
The TVnr Betwixt Man nnd Benst.
Chambers's Journal.
From India there come once more the
official figures relating to the "casualties"
caused In the constant war which pre
vails there between man and beast We
are happily situated in this country in
being able t6 look back upon such a
struggle as a thing of the past; but In
our "Eastern dependency destructive ani
mals still claim their anual tribute of
human blood. In the past yearmore than
12S.O0O animals were killed, and rewards
claimed for their 'slaughter; and during
the same period 25,166 men, women and
children met their death through tooth,
claw and the poison of snakes. To this
terrible tale of human suffering must be
added nearly 100,000 domestic animals
which were killed by the same agencies.
We thus see that the loss of life is about
equal on both sides. It Is interesting to
see how the deaths are apportioned
among the wild beasts. First comes the
terrible man-eating tiger, which is re
sponsible for 927 victims; the wolves come
nextwlth a total of 462, while the leopard
claims 394. Under the heading "Other
Wild Beasts" are computed 14S2 human
deaths. The rest of the grand total, no
fewer than 21,900 items of this terrible
death list, are set down to snake-bite.
It Is almost futile to expect any great
reduction In the annual loss of life from
poisonous snakes, for tho natives will
never kill one of these creatures If they
can avoid doing so.
