tfHE MORNING OEfiGtXNIAK, FRIDAY. JANUARY 4, 1001.
H
GOMMERGIAL' AND
The trade situation yesterday was de
void of special features, aside from a
flattening out In the -wheat market, which
cannot stand more than two days of Troa-
perity at a time. Produce receipts were
not very heavy yesterday, and prices are
firm in most lines. Eggs are moving- bet
ter, and some dealers are endeavoring to
put the price back to 30 cents. The East,
era stock Is practically out of the way,
and this Is Improving the situation for
Oregon eggs. Poultry continues to sell
at good price An arrival, and the mar
ket Is in -good) shape for the end of the
week. Good Oregon apples are becoming
scarcer, and for choice stock prices are a
shade higher. Potatoes are not coming
In very plentifully, but the movement Is
still sufficiently free to prevent anr ad
vance in prices!

PdltTLAXD MARKETS.
- Grain, Flour, Etc.
The strength faded out of the Eastern
wheat market yesterday, but the foreign
markets were sufficiently strong to pre
vent much weakness locally. Some of the
exporters were Inclined to shorten their
limits, b'jt it was still possible to get quo.
tatione of & cents, and een K cents,
but others nere holding oft waiting for
matters to settle again. Offerings were
more liberal yesterday, but most of the
holders were demanding prices which
were obtainable the day before, but were
not obtainable yesterday. Freights are
firm, with some business doing in March
April ships.

KEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Storm of Liquidation Broke
and
Svrept Price DovrnTvnrd.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3, The long expected
storm of liquidation broke over the stock
jnarket today and swept prices In a tor
rent of selling on a downward course. It
was not effectually checked, even at the
c'oso of the market. There were wide
breaches by this time, and the precipi
tate character of the selling gave the
market the, apnearap.ee of a seml-demoral-Jratlon.
The speculators who were long
ct stocks showed many of the symptoms
of panic In their scramble to save the
liajposlng profits which the prolonged rise
FINANCIAL VN1W8
had Indicated for them on paper. The
market was so top Heavy by 'reason of
the vast number of accounts pn narro'.v
margins "which infested It that the fall In
prices gained momentum as it progressed.
The money market maintained a calm
surface all day, thft call loan rate ruling
5 per cent or below that. There was a
continued shifting of loans, however, in
cident to the enormous financial trans
actions involved in the yearly settlement,
and the disturbance of loans thus caused
added to the unsettled feeling In the
stock market. The clearings today were
$380,132,003, which, with the single excep
tion of yesterday, is the largest total
on record. Many causes are assigned to
account for the violent break, but the
real root of the trouble was that faith
In the level of prices began to be Im
paired, and a conviction was borne In
upon speculators that the large demand
for stocks which they have expected to
continue during January has been pretty
largely discounted.
Of the causes contributory to the slump,
most Importance must be attached to the
advance In the Bank of England's dis
count rate, which rose from 4 to 5 per
cent Cabled reports from London de
scribed gloomy forebodings over the fu
ture, ahd the result was a sharp jump- In
sterling exchange rates In .New Torfc and
growth of a bollef that the New York
money market will be called upon for gold
to relieve the strained situation In the
foreign money markets. The heavy liqui
dation in Sugar had a. very unsettling cr
fect upon sentiment, as It was commonly
attributed to a well-known steel mag
nate, who has made his mark heretofore
the bear side of the stock- market. The
violent slump In the Rubber stocks on
the reduction In the preferred dividend
was an additional disturbing Innuencc.
The extreme decline In Rubber was 7M;
Rubber preferred, 9V4: Sugar, 6; Metro
politan, 614; Federal Steel, 5, and In most
of the leading Industrial stocks between
2 and 5 points.
In the railroad list, Erie first preferred
declined 44; Delaware & Hudson, 4;
Northern Pacific, 3: B. & O., and Lack
awanna, each 3; Iowa Central preferred,
o; Pennsylvania, Reading second pre
ferred. D. &. R. G. preferred, and Chi
cago Great Western preferred. "B," i;
Kansas & Texas preferred, 3; Union
Pacific, 3, and throughout the railroad
list from 1 to 3 -points. The -dosing was
in many cases near the lowest.
The bond market was very active, and
liquidation was in force there as well as
in stocks, but the declines in prices were
by no means aa marked. Total sales, par
value, $3,955,000; United States refunding
2a declined , and new 4s registered
on the last call.

Foreign Financial Xevrs.
XBW YORK, Jan. 3. The Commercial
Advertisers' London financial cablegram
today says:
There was universal heaviness In the
markots here today on the action of the
Bank of England In advancing lts mini
mum discount rate from 4 to 6 per cent.
Tho returns showed that the ratio of re
serve to liabilities was only 294 per cent,
while 33 per cent Is regarded as the" safe
minimum. The South African news also
was discouraging, and there were three
more exchange failures, making 36 failures
of members at Ihis settlement. Consols
fell and all the markets followed suit.
Americans were heavily sold, and the
closing was depressed, although New
York absorbed "stock roost liberally, and.
me continent bought at the reduction. Sil

CHICAGO. Jan. 3. Wheat had a ner
vous day. Under the depressing Influence
of unresponsive Liverpool cables, "May

On buying caused by light Northwest re
ceipts, a rally to 17$ followed. The
bulge moved to "action," the desire for
profits and 9. slump tp 76c was ttye re
sult. On this decline, stop-loss orders
came out, and there was even some short
selling. The corn strength then became
an influence, and on covering. May ral
lied to 774c. Again sales to secure profits
became the order of the day, and as the
recent- broad demand waaUacking, prices
responded readily to the pressure. May
declined- to 76& and closed weak, a
under yesterday, at 76c. There was
scarcely any cash business, prices being
out of line. May -corn -was moderately
'active-. The market opened easier on
the good weather, but turned stronger
on good, cash demand. The close was
firm. May c higher,- at 37c
Oats were fairly active and generally
strong, although there was some easi
ness at the start on bull sailing. May
closed We. higher at 24c.
Provisions opened easier, but jturned
strong on a good cash demand, particu
larly for pork and ribs. Shorts and
outside Interests were well represented
In the buying. Prices eased from the
top on profit taking, but the close waa
firm. 'May pork. 2425c higher; lard
25c up, and ribs 10c improved.

The Metal Markets'.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3. The metal mar
kets of England were In somewhat of a
semi-panicky condition today, as the re
sult of the unfavorable statement Issued
by the Bank of England. Weakness de
veloped rapidly,, and before the closo of
business fin in London had declined 3
to 118 10a, and was tending still lower.
The local situation, following this infor
mation, dropped about 75 points, and ruled
weak and unsettled all day. Buyers,, how
ever, failed to take advantage of the low
prices, and business was very lack.Tne
closing figure here was nominal at $26 50.
The rest of the list, however, remains
quiet, with trading confined chiefly, to
supplying Immediate requirements. Lake
copper ruled dull and nominal at $17 for
Lake Superior and $16 62 far casting and
electrolytic, while at London a loss of 7s
6d was noted Lead and spelter continue
quiet, but steady, at unchanged prices.

Salmon Trade" Affected.
NEW YORK, Jan: 3. The ' Journal of
Commerce says; It Is stated In West
Side canned-goods circles that the matter
of discovering the author of the rumor
or report recently published to the effect
that coast packers of salmon were canning-
Louisiana catfish and branding it
as salmon has been turned over for tne
consideration of the United States Fish
Commission. 1
The rumor or report was taken serious
ly In certajp East Side quarters, particu
larly among the Hebrews, who,, because
of their religion, which prohibits .the eat
ing of catfish, declined to buy salmon In
many Instances. -This action resulted In
some loss of trade to canned-fish dealers
here.

"REFORM.". MUST BE PROGRESS
Constructive Policy Only W'ill Save
It'From Failure.
New York Journal.
That was a suggestive observation-of
Controller -Coler's at the Reform Clubdln
ner, when he said he preferred the word
"progress" to "reform." Reform is nec
essary, of course. All good citizens should
work for.lt. But.it Is. only a negative
good It clears away poisons, but it does
not nourish the social system with ac
tual food.
It Is because the Democracy in nation
al affairs was for so many years nothing
but a reform party that Its successes
were so short lived. It shouted: "Turn
the rascals out," and "Show' the Books;"
It demanded the abolition of tariff rob
bery and the prevention of raids on the
treasury, but It had no programme of pos
itive work, and so as soon as It got into
power it was stricken with paralysis, and
the people swept it out again, "
The same principle holds good in mu
nicipal affairs- Imagine a great city gov
erned with absolutely ideal perfection
from the point of view of simple honesty.
Imagine every cent of money collected
hi taxes applied to legitimate expenditures
according to business principles; every
superfluous officer-holder dismissed, every
policeman, patrolling his beat with the
slng'e purpose of maintaining order and
repressing crime, and all 'vicious char
acters compelled to ply their trade in
dark corners. All this would be admir
able, but would It be enough to make such
a government secure. In confidence .and
affection of the voters? Would it bring
complete satisfaction to the masses on
the East Side in New York, or the West
Side In Chicago, or south of Market street
In San Francisco?
If it would not. It Is evident that re-r
formers have something tb learn. Mr.
R. Fulton Cutting, president of the Citi
zens Union of New York, has learned it.
He says that a reform movement should
cm-body a positive programme Including
the "municipal "ownership of public util
ities, and municipal initiative In social
betterment." If reformers came Into pow
er with such a policy as that, and honest
ly carried It DUt, they would not be
kicked out at the next election, as the
custom "is" now.
When Joseph Chamberlain took hold of
the politics ot Birmingham nearly thirty
years ago, he aave the people not only
honest government, hut progressive , gov
ernment. He began by securing munici
pal gas works, which reduced tho price
or gas to 52- cents per thousand feet. The
municipal water-works were developed to
such an extent that they are now selling
water to other towns. Thq city built
street railroad lines and leased them on
favorable - terms. It built and operates
slaughter houses, markets, nubile baths,
technical schools, art schools. Industrial
schools and asylums. It has recently ac
quired an electric light plant. It bought
land on a great scale and covered It with
model worklngmen's dwellings and other
buildings. It abolished- Its slums, and
gress rich In the process.
Th- - "lt has been that Mr. Chamber
lain has retained iis grip on the affec
tions of Birmingham from the time of his
first mayoralty to this day. There war
no spasmodic jump form corrupt politics
to reform and back again. The people
proved that they were not , fickle they
stood by 'those who otopdjby Ibem..
New Zealand had a reform movement

some years ago. The reformers were
not "merely "antls,"they promised things
that Interested the people, and when they
got. Into power they began to carry out
their promises. New Zealand already had
many things thatare still visions of the
distant future with us government rail
roads, telegraphs, postal saving banks,
.government life insurance, a department
of labor, and the like, but the reform
government went ahead from that start
ing point to new advances. It reformed
tho system of taxation, putting the bulk
of It on land values. It broke up great
estates, and rented land in small hold
ings. It introduced compulsory arbitra
tion of labor disputes, In consequence of
which there has not been a strike or a
lockout in the colony for five years. It
promotes technical education. It Intro
duced the referendum. It established gov
ernment fire Insurance. It provided old
age pensions for labor. No session, of
Parliament passed without some new ad
Vance. And In consequenece there have been
no arbitrations In New Zealand politics
like those with which we are so unhap
pily familiar in this country. The re
formers have remained in power from one
election to another, gaining strength all
the time.
Reformers In this country must pront
by such examples as these before they
dan hope to have more than a spasmodic
success. They cannot win by "crusades,"
for a crusade" is in. Itself a confession of
failure. It implies that evil is in control
and must be ousted. When the victory
lfl won the impulse of the crusade Is
gone. To make reform permanent there
must be something attractive In Itself,
not merely opposition to existing abuses.
There is plenty of material for construc
tive programmes, bqth in local and na
tional affairs. We are miles behind other
countries In the application of the col
lective energies to the common good. We
rihall be lucky If we reach In 20 years
the point at which New Zealand stood
when her reform legislation began. When
we have municipal gas works, street car
lines, electric light and power plants and
model tenernents owned by our cities, we
shall be where many foreign cities werfc
years ago. When we have government
railroads and telegraphs, a parcel post,
postal saving banks and national insurT
ance, we shall have reached the common
places of Europe and Australasia.
In the early part of this century the
Democracy, the reform party of that day,
could retain power for 40 years by thq sim
ple policy of letting things alone. That
was all that seemed to be needed theh,
for there were no great cities, natural
opportunities were open to everybody, and
all that any Independent American asked
of the Government was to keep its hands
off.
But now that more people are massed
In a single city than lived In the whole
Union when the Nation began Its career,
now that the resources of nature are mo
nopolized and the average individual is
a helpless atom, the people have no choice
but to seek their advancement together.
If a hody of reformers should set them
selves deliberately and systematically to
this work, and convince the masses of
their good faith, they could win, power and
hold it for a generation, doing something
every year to win new popularity. Thoy
could begin In the cities by Insuring
every child an education, and then could
proceed to .municipal gas works and the
other ltema of the progressive . pro
gramme in. turn, They. could begin in the
Nation with a parcel post, and go on to
postal telegraphs, postal saving banks
and the rest.
Unless the men who are working for
L the public good secure popular support
by some such policy as this, they will
find that the combination of selfish Inter
ests 111 always be too strong- for them.
