as THE MOUSING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, ' 1900. MMU A aW V fJ If il2l U II V EJlL. Jill W Business has not yet settled back Into he old gropve since the Christmas holi days, although, there was a pretty good trade "along -Front street yesterday, and An unusually large number of orders from the Interior, -vybich seemed to indicate that the holiday demand had cleaned the retail raerchants outon some lines, to such an extent that' they could ont await the end of the year before replenishing. The wheat markets .abroad went into an tecllpsie last Saturday, and "had "not emerged ;yesteirday, and In' the absence of cable i advices the American markets were tame and featureless yesterday: The Christmas demand on Monday cleaned up the poul try market more thoroughly than for a long time, and It Is left in good shape for more satisfactory prices this week. There is a weakening In oats, and there fls very little export demand for barley. There Is not enough business in hops. to alter the complexion of the market' locally, and the season may be considered at a close, so far as, Oregon and Wash--lngton is concerned. Some Improvement Is. Tcportod In the Eastern wool markets, but It has not yet extended to the Pa cific Coasts There is a better demand JCor veal and pork, '-but prices are not juotably higher. The ees market Is "weakening under increased receipts, and if the present mfld weather continues, iurther declines are certain. Choice Ore gon apples are not o plentiful as they were a short time ago, and prices are firmer. Oranges are now in big supply, and prices are easier. The best stock of the season is about due now, and there is an excellent demand. Banana arriv- als have been heavier than were needed xecently, and some loss was experienced on the last lots reclved. Wheat The absence of foreign advices yesterday kept some of the exporters irom making fancy bids for wheat, but the cereal was generally 'selling at pretty tull figures. For Wajla Walla 54 and 54&c was freely bid, and .there were reports Irom the interior that 55 cents was paid. Stocks In port continue very heavy In eplte of the large amount put afloat in December, and, as the amount of tonnage ljted to arrive within the next four months Is dwindling' down to small pro portions, it Is not exactly clear why buy ers continue paying- above export value. Blues-tern is in nominal demand at 56 and 57 cents, and "Valley Is in no demand for export purposes, it being impossible to compete with the Interior mills which aro paying in some cases as high as C3 and 64 cents per bushel. From an export standpoint, "Valley Is not worth to ex ceed 65 cents per bushel, and it is need less to state that it cannot be touched for that figure. There was some chartering done last "week and the freight markets show a pretty firm tone with anything available within the next CO days commanding about 42 shillings. Statistically the posi tion of freights is very strong, but the lifeless foreign wheat market is of course a. factor which prevents this statistical strength asserting itself. There is some tonnage offering for new season loading at 35 shillings, and, from this distance, ships certainly look cheap, much cheaper In fact than new season ships at 25 shill ings seemed when they first offered last January. Steam, tonnago Is offering, but moat of the vessels are such enormous carriers that exporters hesitate about tak ing bold, of them. The outlook for the Winter wheat con tinues quite favorable all over the Coast. and "much tho samo reports come from the wheat states east of the Rocky Moun tains. The Cincinnati Price Current, In reviewing its crop correspondence for the ;week ending last Saturday, says: The status of the Winter wheat crop "has been practically unchanged during the past week. The weather has been mild and generally dry, apparently favor able for the crop. A few complaints from "Western Ohio that the moderate freeze of last week left some fields more or less spotted and colored Is suggestive that tho crop has not yet been -subjected to "hard freezing weather, though It is close on to the new year, and it remains to been seen how it will come through such a test. "Last year many fields that were infested with fly looked green until cold weather set in, when they began to turn brown. At present the growing wheat generally has a green, even, healthy ap pearance, but It Is uncertain what a se vere freeze will do to It. WOOL There is very little business In the local market, dealers being unable to meet the views of growers as to price, and the market rules dull, with quota ttlons .strictly nominal. The condition of the market In the East and In the coun try as a whole Is set forth in telegraphic advices from Boston printed in another column. POTATOES The demand from Califor nia has been lighter than was expected, and for this reason it is- difficult to keep prices very firm In this market Receipts have been moderate for the past two weeks on account of unfavorable weather, but tho best price obtainable for Bur Jb.lnka has been about 60c, and most of .tioc offerings sell around 50c per sack. ONIONS There is a better demand for shipment, and good stock moves readily at 51 50 per sack, with the solects held 25c higher. Some complaint is made about the keeping qualities of the crop, but Jfrom he amount offering there seems to te plenty that are keeping air right. BUTTER Fifty cents seems to be the limit for creamery butter, and even at that figure there are occasional spells of weakness apparent whenever receipts are extra larjre. There Is a considerable amount of butter in cold storage In this city, and It'wilT come out on the first rise above 55c. There Is also some Eastern butter In the, market, and the cities on the.Sound are flooded with .it, and ac cordingly offer no outlet for the surplus irom this direction. EGGS The ruling price for frosh ranch eggs at the present time Is 27fec Some dealers are making an effort to secure SDc. but few. If any, can be sold for that figure, and If mild weather should con tinue much longer a further decline will follow. Eastern eggs are still plentiful. POULTRY There was a good clean-up In the poultry market Monday, and the prices realized wore much better than were expected from the .disappointing outlook at the close of last week. Many of the retailers held oft until the last mo ment, and gained nothing by .so doing. for the price of best dressed turkeys was not put below 13c at any time during the Christmas season. There were a good many "culls," of course, which sold at lower prices, some going as low as Sc per pbund. Some of the Eastern lurkeys were sold, but the greater part of them were put into cold storage for the New Tear's trade. The outlook Is quite favor able for better prices New Tear's, as the market is not only well cleaned up here, but dealers who were figuring on bringing on some more Eastern turkeys have been unable to secure them, and there will be a better opportunity for Oregon stock. Geese are In fairly good demand, and come large Toulons eold as high as 510 per dozen. The Chinese aro laying In a MWflH 'ft MtWXlW-Vi;! per skin, ft do. kits, 1 ItUii.UlJlL II Ulf W ! supply of ducks for -their approaching festivities, and prices have advanced to 555?6 per dozen.

The stock mar ket went through some vicissitudes to day, but Its most astonishing phase was the undercurrent of strength which has come In to support the market so persist ently of late and driven off all moods of depression. After opening with a sky rocket advance in price, followed by a drop, like the sky-rocket's stick, the market gathered Itself tbgether, and, Ignoring the continued pressure of liquida tion, which continued in force at some points, it resumed Its irregular show cf strength, straggling new points of strength being unaffected by the weak ness at others. The sharp reaction at m!d sossion was due more than anything else to the extremely doubtful character of son.e cf the opening advances. The char acter rf the stocks affected and the vio lence of the Jump In prices, gave a sug gestion of speculative debauch, such as is the invariable accompaniment of the culmination of a bull market. Professional traders-have been constantly on the look out for the signs, of such a culmination, and they sold the market eagerly on the opening rise. These offerings were sup plemented by the very heavy profit taking of those long on the market. At this period of the market It took an appearance of general weakness, prices crumbling throughout the list. The sur prising opening gains in a number of industrial specialities and a few. rail road stocks, were very generally wiped out and some of the Important railroad stocks had fallen from a fraction to a point below Saturday's closing leveL The violent break In the Northern Pacific stocks had a large Influence In the de cline, as the unbridled speculation In the FJrn.' Issues had been the salient point In the market for some days. A pub lished statement that the preferred stock would not be retired on the coming first of January was the cause of the break, as it would take away the reason for the recpnt speculation. The common stock was carried down an extreme 34, and the preferred "3 points. A 6 per cent money rate emphasized the cautious feeling, and the relapse to 5 per cent later In the day was an im portant element In the rally. The sub stantial character of the buying orders encountered at the decline discouraged the bears, and their buying to cover helped the rally. It had its inception in the local traction stocks, which were all very strong with accompanying rumors of con solidated control. Missouri Pacific, Read ing first preferred. People's Gas. and Sugar were also conspicuous features of tne late recovery. The closing was very Irregular, but with the undertone strong. The opening outburst was palpably due In large part to manipulation, and was explainable by the busy operations of speculative cliques during the holiday in terval In making demonstrative bids for almost any amount of the stocks affected, without any actual transactions being In volved as a restraining Influence. The opening prices In Brooklyn Transit varied nearly 3 points on an extreme ad vance of 5V6, and there were wide open ings on running sales In Tennessee Coal, Sugar, St. Paul, Erie first preferred, and Atchison. The actual gains in these stocks ran from 2 to over 5 points, except Erie firtt preferred, which were at no time no more than a fraction over Satur day. There seemed to be plenty of funds available for borrowers, and there is a feeling of assurance that the year will be turned without trouble in the money mar ket. The railroad bond market was ac tive, and showed only a few weak spots. Total sales, par value, 54.410,000. All United States Government bonds advanced per cent on the last call. BONDS. U.

There was scarcely enough business to keep brokers awake, and nearly all of that was of a local scalping order. The opening was firm on a moderate world's shipments, and for a time prices held fairly steady, helped later by the visible Increase of only 319,(00 bushels. Later talk that the Gov ernment report, due tomorrow, would be decidedly bearish, and' the absence of good shipping inquiry caused weakness, and prices declined under ensuing liquida tions. .May sold between 73JJ73?ic and 725ic, closing h.c lower, at 72?i724c. Corn was fairly active early, but ruled dull thereafter. Mai closed, unchanged at 35c; January, a shade higher at C5T4 36c, and December Jc lower at 36ic Oats were at a standstill, closing un changed for May. Provisions started firm on light hog re ceipts, and higher prices at the yards. Later prices eased off on liquidation of December lard, in which a squeeze had been threatened.

BOSTOX WOOL MARKET. Wool Holdings In the Country Ex ceed 350,000,000 Pounds. BOSTON. Dec. 26. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter, In Its annual report of the wool situation, gives the stocKa of wool In the country, exclusive of manu factured holdings, as 352.247.3S9 pounds, as compared with 157,335,879 pounds a year ago. The stocks In the three principal mar kets of the United States Boston, New York and Philadelphia amount to 1S5.4U0, 3S9 pounds, as compared writh 113,2i5,579 pounds last year. The stocks of wool In Boston are 130,019,034 pounds, as compared with 66,113,743 pounds last year. This large Increase In stocks on hand is ac counted for by 'the comparatively limited demand for wool this year, increased im portations of foreign wools and the fact that only a very small percentage of this year's clip has as yet been disposed of to manufacturers. Wools have been held back to an un usually large extent this year in the country. This is especially true of the fleece wool sections east o the Mississippi River. The wool production of the coun try Is given as 2S1.452.437 pounds. Imports of wool Into Boston have been 58.723,632 pounds, as compared with 34,372,491 pounds last year. The sales of wool In the Boston market since January 1 amount to 146,975, 100 pounds, as compared with 3i7,lS5,776 pounrs last year. In other words the volume of business has been considera bly loss than half of that of last year. Tho year 1900 will pass into history as one of the quietest and most unsatisfac tory periods ever experienced In the wool trade. Depression has characterized the situation both abroad and at home. A feature of the business of the year has been the Increased substitution of cot ton for wool, and a prcrerence for the medium or lower grades of wool dis tinguished from the fine grades. As to the business of the past week, It has presented but few features of in terest calling for special mention. The demand has been as large as was ex pected in a holiday season, and has run principally to territories, unwashed fleeces and scoured wools. The sales amount to about 2.5O0.O0O pounds, and rep resent quite a large number of transac tions. Prices, while favoring the buyer, are not sufficiently changed to warrant any general lowering of quotations. A hopeful feeling pervades the trade that vrlth the end of the year an Improved demand for wool will set In, which will have the effect of lifting the market from its present condition of lethargy. Tho feeling Is naturally strengthened somewhat by the continued favorable ad vices received from abroad. The sales of the week In Boston amounted to 2,163,700 pounds domestic and 335.0U0 pounds for eign, making a total of 2.503.7C0, against a total of 3,600,000 pounds for the prev ious Tveek, and a total of 2.30,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. Tho total sales since January 1 amount to 116.97o,l(."0 pounds, against 3i7,lS3.7o pounds for the corresponding time last yea.. Eastern Livestock. CHICAGO. Dec. 26. Cattle Receipts, 23,000 head.

It has been many days since cotton speculation was con fined to the meager dealings recorded on 'change during a day. Tho fluctuations were hardly In harmony with the apathy, reaching a matter of 14 points. Prices were unchanged to 2 points higher on first sales, and for the rest of the fore noon did not vary 5 points. Soon after the noon hour, an estimate for large re ceipts at New Orleans tomorrow led to nervous light selling, which came at a time when buyers were few and far be tween. Prices suffered accordingly and brought some 6 to 14 points from the best level of the morning. The market closed barely steady, with prices net unchanged to 11 points lower. The Metal Markets. NEW YORK, Dec. 26. The metal mar ket was about nominal today In the ab sence of a decrease from abroad, and trading, if there was any, was confined to supplying Immediate requirements.

A stockyards fire early today caused a panic among the Chamber of Commerce guests of the Transit House, and resulted In the destruction of the noted O'Leary Clubhouse, entailing losses aggregating 560.000. Aside from the clubhouse the building of four stories contained a white lead factory, sum factory' and a hardware store, the stock in nearly all of which was almost totally destroyed. The Transit House, which was across the street from the burned building, was at no time In danger. REPAYING STARK STREET. Vitrtfled Brick ainst Have Concrete Foundation to Be- Permanent. Portions of the vitrified brick pavement laid on Stark street last Fall are being torn up for repairs. Tho bricks were simply laid on plain macadam, that had been duly smoothed down and rolled, but the pavement between Fifth and Sixth streets was hardly thrown open for team traffic beforo chuck holes appeared In It at Intervals, tho bricks having sunk In spots as the macadam underneath settled down. The men In charge of the repairs lay the blame on the city water works, which had recently laid mains In the street without having tamped the earth sufficiently around the pipes. Whore the bricks are being torn up now a six-Inch layer of concrete Is put down for a foundation, and this Is considered amply strong to resist the pressure from above, even though tho earth around tho water mains gives way. Men well in formed on such pavement, say it would havo been better to have a concrete foun dation under brick for the entire distance, in the first place. This mode, although more expensive at first, will, it is said, render the pavement much more lasting, and thus become cheaper In the end. a Epryptlnn Troopn Reviewed. KHARTOUM, Egyptian Soudan. Dec. 26. Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic agent, reviewed the Egyptian troops of the Soudan under the Sirdar, Major-Gen-eral Sir Francis R. Wlngate, today. He assured a deputation from the Dlnka tribe, which formerly suffered severely from slave raids, that the British and Egyptian flags guaranteed them against such raids, and Insured respect for their ancient customs. The chiefs departed, expressing gratitude. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. John Brady, Pomeroy P O'Connor. Mich A F Campbell. Mon mouth J W Bishop, do C H Remler.
