!r're& THE MOKNIXG OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 190L IT rjtgnmmf COMMERCIAL AND The market situation for the middle week of January presents no features of special Interest except a material de cline In wheat, and a fairly active de mand for most other farm products. The weather Is mild for the season of the year, and, while this fact has hampered business In some lines of "Winter goods, it has permitted a great deal of outdoor work around mills and logging camps, wiiloh are frequently closed at this season of the year, and which are Important fac tors In distributing; money. Bank clear ing which, after all, are about the most reliable business barometer, are holding up around record proportions for the sea son of the year, and but few complaints are hoard in any direction. Potatoes, onions, poultry, veal, pork and a number of other similar products are very firm at the best prices of the season, and but ter and eggs are slightly weaker. The demand for choice Oregon apples is excel lent bat there Is more poor grade stock than oan be used to advantage. In the grocery market an excellent trad? is reported with considerable firmness In some jines. Sugar, which advanced 10 cents nearly a week ago, Is slated for an other rise. In the local market a wax among rival jobbers has broken out In the coffee trade, and, while there has been no change lit the list price as quoted elsewhere. Portland Jobbers have cut both Lion and Arbuckie coffee $1 50 per case, thus Increasing the business without al fectlng the profit of the millionaire man ufacturers. WHEAT A "Walla Walla cargo was reported offering yesterday In Liver pool at 2Ss 6d, with no takers. Last week at the height of the market a similar eargo was sold at 28s 6 d. This shows a decline of 2 cents per bushel In the foreign mar ket, but notwithstanding the fact that freights have more than held their own, there has been hardly so great a reduc tion In the prices quoted In Portland. At the top of the bulge some choice lots were worked at a fraction over 57 cents, but the bulk of the salea were around 504 and 57 cents. Yesterday 55 cents was Btlll possible, with reports from the country that 553 was bid. Considerable wheat was offering at the old prices, and 66 cents yesterday would undoubtedly have brought out some round lots. Ex porters have taken In about all that they desire to carry under present conditions, and but few of them care to quote any thing In excess of actual export values based on existing freight rates. But little business is doing in ships at present, owners holdng them at rates which cannot be paid with the foreign markets in such unsatisfactory shape. Some business has been done during the past week at about 41s 3d for March-April, and a large steamer s reported fixed at 38s 9d. The non-arrival of an overdue fleet with a carrying capacity of over 20, 000 tons is Interfering somewhat with plans, "as cargoes have been secured for tho ships, and are in the way until the vessels show up, and at the same time cannot be put on other vessels for fear of the arrival pf Bhlps already chartered Oallfornla's orop prospects continue very promising, and will soon Be a factor In th freight market, as that state Is not bo well provided with tonnage as Is Ore son and Washington. In these two states there is no change In the situation, but It is still too early for present condi tions to have any effect on freights so far ns nex season loading is concerned. The crop Is apparently looking wfell In the East, and the Cincinnati Price Current, In reviewing Is prop correspondence for the week ending last Saturday, saya: The short cold spell of last week over the "Winter wheat section has given way to milder weather, such as has been char acteristic of this season so far. It is sel dom that the Winter continues so open. Practically no harm has been done to thfl wheat crop by cold weather, and the pros pects continue very favorable. There ap pears to be some diminution in the Interior marketings of Winter wheat; still the movement is about normal, though very light In Ohio and Indiana. In Ohio the Winter wheat plant in most localities continues in promising condition with the exception of fly in the early sown. In Indiana the wheat crop Is Just fairly promising, better than last year, but In a few places it Is a little sickly. However, were It not for the ex istence of fly the condition would be re garded as encouraging. Very little old wheat Is moving. The recent advancing tendency In the price of corn has caused many to hold: the movement Is about normal. In Missouri the growing wheat crop is In good r condition, with favor able weather prevailing. Wheat move ment becoming moderate. In Kansas the growing wheat eontinues to maintain a high promise. The cold weather of last week does not appear to have done any harm: weather milder and the season may Btlll be regarded as very open. Wheat movement is moderate. WOOL The wKitlngattitudeof the wool market, as reported from tho Bast, finds reflection locally, although a few sales are reported every week. Growers who have held on through the old year seem determined -to s itek It out a little longer, and are waiting to see what the Spring trade Is to bring them. Quotations are nominally unchanged, and what business" has been done recently has been at the figures given elsewhere. The situation In the East 18 thus reported by the New York 'Journal of Commerce, under date of January 11: The wool market has been awaiting the opening of heavy-weight fabrics by the American Woolen Company, when, it was believed, demand would begin to show some improvement. It is, perhaps, too early to look for this Improvement, but It Is certain that It has not made its ap pearance, as yet, and dealers are now not so sure that there is going to be any radical change for the better until tho new orop comes on the market. It is certain that manufacturers will continue their hand-to-mouth policy for some time to come, at least. It is generally admit ted that they have small stocks on hand, but there will be no additions to these etocks until the actual need arises, when only sufflolent will be bought to bridge over the necessity. There is not, accord ing to authorities, likely to be any specu lation for the next few months at any rafte. HOPS There Is a good healthy under tone to the market, and holders who have not yet disposed of the product have lost no money by holding on. Brewers In the East are reported to be holding oft and buying only in a hand-to-mouth manner, and the foreign markets are also reported firmer. New York buyers are apparently paying up pretty well forthe remaining stock In that state, and tho Waterrtlle Times of January S says: Some of the growths neglected earlier In the season are now being picked up at 15c to 16c Among these in the last few days are the growths of Alva Morehouse. 32 at 16 David Jones, 45 at 15c; Mr. Stringer?, 35 at 16&c; John Vaughn, 15c; iter 6rnlth. 15c; Mr. Spancer. 15c; Henry Boaler. SS at 16c. The above growers live lit Madison. Knoxboro and that vlolnlty. The bejt sales about here recently have been those of R. H. Davis, 50 bales at 17c, and about the same number grown -by-rrho'maT Price at 16c . jfRUIT -Oranges are now In their prime, I FINANCIAL NEW and the price is down about as low as it will get. best navels selling at $2 50 and 52 75 per box, while pretty fair stock In small eizes can be bought for J2 per box. .A carload of bananas struck town yesterday, and found a good market, al though they were too ripe to secure top prices. Fancy apples are not very plen tiful, but there is an abundance of ordln. ary stocjk offering. Prices range from 50 cents to $1 25 per box, with an occasional extra choice lot going slightly higher. Japanese oranges In good supply at 65 cents for small boxes. HIDLtJANDFLKS Themarket for hides is very dull, and receipts are not large. Furs are steady, and some Improvement In prioes Is looked for at the forthcoming sales which are to be held in London Jan uary 21 to January 25. POTATOES ANT) ONIONS Good ship ping demand for Oregon Burbanks at 50 and 60 cents, and, owing to unfavorable weath er receipts have been quite small during the week. Onions are firm at quotations south, with an excellent shipping de mand, both north and south. INLAND PORK Receipts of veal have been inadequate to the demand this week, and as high as 9& cents has been paid oc casionally, but the bulk of the best of ferings have moved at S and 9 cents, with large selling around 7 cents. Pork has advanced again, and choice block hogs are selling at 7 cents, and from that figure down as low as 5 cents for com mon stock. BUTTER Store butter Is coming in so plentifully that prices are a shade lower. The San Francisco market Is In bad shape for both store and creamery grades, and no longer affords a dumping ground from this . state. In this market best grades of creamery are quite firm, but no advance Is probable, There Is some Eastern butter In the market, but it Is poor stuff. EGGS The egg market Is fairly steady at 25 cents, and at this figure stocks are apparently cleaning up much better than they have been for the past 10 days. The only Eastern eggs In the market are some Inferior cold-storage stock, which does not affect the price of Oregon ranch eggs. Receipts are Increasing, and If the mild weather continues much longer, will cause a further decline In prices. PDULTRY Until yesterday, the street was comparatively bare of poultry, but re ceipts were heavy yesterday, and If they should continue so today some of the present strength may be extracted from the market. Best coops of chickens sold yesterday at $4 and $4 50 per dozen, and hardly anything that was "passable" brought less than ?3 per dozen. Ducks' which have been In excellent demand un til this week are not doing so well, the Chinese demand apparently being satis fied. Turkeys sell n a small way at 11 and 12 cents live, and 13 and 15 cents dressed. Geese, are quiet at $5 50 and 3 50 per dozen. Bank Clearing. Exchanges. Balances.

The excessive confusion of speculative enthusiasm today was shown by wide and frequent fluctu ation In prices conflicting in different groups of stocks. An evident effort was made to differentiate the movement of steel stocks from that of the railroad stocks. The action of tho steel group yes terday made it very evident that a de cline In them was to be faced. Some ef fort was made at the opening to contest this, and supporting orders effected a rise of a point over last night In Steel and Wire and Tin Plate, and of 1 in National Tube, but the last-named stock was the only one which retained any show of strength in the later dealings. There was some show of support In Fed eral Steel early in the day, and, after an opening decline of 1& it was rallied a point, but the selling of the stock was persistent and urgent on account of dis appointment by speculators that no action was taken at yesterday's meeting to In sure quarterly dividends for the coming year in which there had been great faith. There were occasional rallies in the stock and it was lifted vigorously at the last two points above the lowest, but manip ulation was palpable In the rally. At the low level, this stock was Wl below last night, and the preferred was off 3Vfc. Next to this, Tin Plate was most acutely affected in spite of yesterday's 8 per cent dividend declaration, and fell an' extreme 4 polnts.Colorado Fuel was down 3k. American Hoop, 3; Tennesse Coal, 2i. and others of the group from 1 to VA. The conditions in the railroad list wero exceedingly Irregular during the early dealings, but there were sufficient points of strength to overcome the few open ing declines caused by sympathy with tho London market and with the weakness of the steel stocks. There was a manifest disposition to realize also In the coalers, and a sagging tendency at other points. St. Paul was vigorously taken In hand in the midst of the uncertainty and marked up nearly 6 points, precipitating a large Volume of forced buying from the bears. The mar ket generally responded In sympathy, but with a quick relapse of 2 points in St. Paul began to run off again. Then Bur lington took up the movement on the decision of the directors to Increase the stock 10 per cent to be Issued at par to stockholders. The resulting rise in the stock reached 4, but the doubt en gendered by the demonstrated manipula tion of St. Paul detracted from the effect on the general market, and tho prices did not get back to the top. The ad vances had reached 2 in Northern Pa cific, 3 In Delaware & Hudson, 2 In Roek Island, and 2 points in St. Louis & San Francisco second preferred. Man hattan and Sugar also rose about 2 poinds. When the .futility of these measures to hold the railroad list became evident, tho speculative liquidation increased to a very heavy volume. The coalers, the Pacifies, the local tractions, People's Gas and Su gar were thrown on tho. market in a tor rent of large blocks. The general level of prices was forced considerably below last night, only a few smU net gams re maining. The reaction reached 5 points in St. Paul, 4 in Manhattan, and from 2 to 3 points In the other prominent stocks in dicated. The closing was unsettled and Irregular, but there was no evidence of any demand from other than short Inter ests. The announcement of gold exports today for tomorrow's steamer did not seem to affect sentiment, as the early strength of the market developed after the shipments were known. The ac cumulation of money at present continues on so large a scale that the Interest rate tended lower today In spite of the gold exports, and the softness of the exchange market showed that the absorption of ex change bills sold against the gold exports was not easy. The bond market was moderately active and eased off In sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value $2,390,000. United States old 4s declined 4 per cent, and 5s registered per ecnt on the last call.

Forelcn Financial Netva. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were slack but firm today, although the call foe troops for South Africa was disliked. Americans be gan about half under a parity, but re covered In the ilrst hour. They remained quiet till just before the close, when St. Paul and Northern Pacifies spurted sharply on New York orders, attributed to the so-called Morgan deal. Their buoyancy, however, failed to stimulate the general rise. Call money rates were high er on the settlement demand. The bank lent quite a large sum for a few days at 5 per cent. It bought 120,000 gold in bars. The copper fortnightly statistics show a decrease in stocks of 512 tons and in supplies of 103 tons. Money, Exchange, Etc.

May' wheat opened cent lower, at 76 to 76c, mainly because Liverpool showed a full response to the deollne on this side yesterday. The crowd, however, was inclined to keep a keen eye on Wall Street and a curb on their speculative desires, rather than on the legitimate situation. To buying from thl3 quarter Is attributed the bulge of a week ago and to a withdrawal of thia support is credited the recent declining tendency of the market. Wall Street, however, Is still believed to be long, and this combined with the stiffness of some local long lines, leaves the rank and file on tenterhooks. At the opening some In consequential selling by a house supposed to represent Wall Street brought out all sorts of small stuff, and Maydropped to 7676c. Here the pressure eased, and qn reports of export engagements the market gradually rallied to 76c. At tempted realizing showed how slack the demand had g-own. The decline caugnt stop-loss orders, and the market near the eed of the session dropped sharply to 75c. The clos. was weak, VLlc lower, at 75!g75c. Exporters reported 62 loada taken.

BOSTON, Jan. 16. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say: The past week In the wool trade Jias been as quiet as possible. There has been no material change in business here. Mills have not shown any great tendency to come around to the dealers' terms, and on his part the dealer feels that he Is not so pushed that he must come to the buyer and beg him to relieve him of his load. An improsGion has gone around that the American Woolen Company has been making good-sized and frequent purchases of wool since January 1, some dealers esti mating the company's purchases In the millions. One report has been current around the market that 1,000.000 pounds changed 'hands last week, with the com bine as the purchasers. This can be de nied in the strongest terms and on the best authority. The American Woolen Company did buy a considerable amount of wool a month or so ago, and bought it for delivery after January 1. Hence it is very easy to see why it should have been moving a considerable quantity of late. It has been taking up, not buying up, a considerable quantity of wool. The fact Is that the buyers of the company did not make a single purchase during the latter half of last week, and that their total purchases for the week would not amount to 500.000 pounds. The sales for the week In Boston amounted to 1,520 0C0 pounds domestic and 195,000 pounds for eign, making a total of 1,715,000 pounds, against a total of 1.710.000 pounds for the previous week and a total of 2,965,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. The sales since January 1 amount to 4,874.000 pounds, against 8,035,600 pounds for the corresponding tlmo last year. SAV FRANCISCO MARKETS. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.

Representative Wilcox has decided to limit the competition for the West Point cadetshlp tp Hawailans. For some days past several native boys have been examined In a general way regarding their qualifications to pass the examination for admission to West Point. Joseph A6a and Daniel Yowell stand highest, and their names will be sent to Mr. Wilcox for his selection. Both men are graduates of the leading school of natives. It Is rumored that Mr. Wilcox has agreed to appoint the son of Lieutenant-Commander Pond, the acting commandant of the local naval station, to Annapolis. The natives have effected a complete organization of their forces by amalga mating their two leading organizations with the independent Home Rule party which elected Robert W. Wilcox to Con gress at the last election. Delegates from the Islands held a convention the 8th and 9th lnsts. By a unanimous resolu tion the Aloha, Alma and the Kalai naina Societies were merged into the Home Rule party. This union means that all of the discordant forces among the natives have already begun to get ready to head the political power which they secured at the November election. The death of Daniel L. Naone, one of the most advanced of Hawailans, is the subject of much comment, and an inves tigation may be ordered. It is claimed by many that Naone was either prayed to death or died from the effects of poteon administered by a "kahuna" or native doctor. Naone incurred the wrath of tho natives for accepting the political faith of the Whites when the- monarchy was abolished, and It Is said that an in quiry will show that he was murdered, although a white physician who attended him at Intervals during the short Ill ness signed a death certificate assigning congestion of the brain as tho cause of Naone's death. Affninnt the Linseed Oil Trust. CHICAGO. Jan. 16. By a ruling of the Appellate Court, in a decision handed down by Judge Horton yesterday, the Lin seed Oil trust became liable for damages which may aggregate a large amount. The case Is that of the Heath & Milll gan Manufacturing Company against the National Linseed Oil Company, which was reorganized two years ago and became the American Linseed Oil Company. The' court found that the custom of the com pany in selling 7 pounds of oil as con stituting a gallon was Illegal and amount ed to short weight. In so holding, the court reversed the finding of the court below and ordered the entry of a judg ment against tho company for $12,012 with costs. Tho case was a test one, brought by Heath & MUHgan, after the discovery by A. M. Heath that a gallon of linseed oil in reality weighed 7 pounds Instead of 7 pounds, as sold by the trust. a If you have never used Carter's Little Liver Pills, go at once to the nearest drug store and get a vial.
