XEIV YORK STOCK MARKET.
St. Paul Wn A'iolent, lint Others
Pranced Up and Dovrn.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2S. The huge pro
portions of the dealings In St. Paul made
It the dominant factor in today's market.
Its influence was marked on a very few
stocks, pearly affiliated with It, and the
general list showed & dragging tendency
both, on the upward and downward course.
The vfoient and erratic movement in St
Paul kept the market confused and un
, settled for - the greater part of the day.
There were considerable gains established
during the early dealings, and later In the
day prices fell considerably below Satur
day's level, but the net changes ore for
the most part small, and some gains are
mixed with the preponderant losses. St
Paul was at one time nearly 3 points
aboTe- -1urday, and at another time
over 2 points below, and closed the day
with a net" loss of 14 on sales of 252,000
shares. The intermediate movements
wsr .'excessively erratic and feverish.' A
very 'noticeable feature of the trading In
the stock was the much heavier volume
of transactions on the acvance .than on
the deoHRe. Very heavy offerings had to
be taken. In faet, before ihe "advance was
Inaugurated, the price running oft a point
from the opening under the crushing
weight f the -offerings and very heavy
blocks being taken at each stage of the
advance. When the price had touched

FINANCIAL NEWS
ward eqcal to that of the first hour, al
though there were considerable revivals!
or aemana irom time to time, un tne
down grade from 158 to 152 the offer
ings did not appear to be of overwhelm
ing volume, but .there was not sufficient
demand to absorb them. The tipsters
this morning put out statements-in great
detail of the completed plan for the trans
fer of -St. Paul stock in exchange for
bonds of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. It was further announced
thatthe plan would be officially published
today. TJp to the close of business the
promised plan had not been published; and
this was all the news of the day bearing
on the stock. The movement of St, Paul,
was supplemented by a strong rise in Kan
ras & Texas preferred, and in Manhattan.
The first Irregularity of the market was
caused by weakness "in the steel group,
In which the opening gains had been mod
erate. The session of the directors of
American Steel & Wire Company focussed
the attention pi speculators in that group.
No decision was announced on the divi
dend question before the market closed,
bflt the stock, after selling down to 3S
had a rally to 41 In the final dealings. The
other steel stocks, which had weakened
in sympathy, notably Federal Steel, did
not have time to respond before the close.
There was a sudden stiffening of South
ern Pacific in the final dealings also, but
the closing generally was heavy and dull.
London was a small seller, but the further
advance In sterling exchange made It evi
dent that the homeward movement bf se
curities continued very heavy. Business
In railroad bonds continued large, and
prices advanced lit the early dealings, but
yielded In sympathy with stocks. Total
sales, 53,576,000. United States bonds were
all unchanged.

Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
The stock market here was marrow but
firm today. American shares were fairly
active until about 2 o'clock, when on
early orders from New York thera was a
sharp rally. This was particularly true
of St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville.
After that rally the American department
weakened, and, closing heavy, broke
sharply In the street.
lHoney rates were stirrer, and- the mar
ket finally was borrowing from the bank
at 5 per cent for four days.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28. May wheat opened
c to lc lower, at 7776C Offerings
were liberal under the lnnUence of lower
cables, which came In the face of the ad
vance here Saturday, yvbrld's shipments,
which, with Australia to hear from, ag
gregated 7,262,000' bushels, and an increase
df 632-.000 bushels in the amount of wheat
and flour on ocean passage. Following the
opening the market recovered to 77c on
moderate buying by commission-houses.
This demand did not last long, and sell
ing by longs caused p. drop during the
forenoon to 7676c, heavy primary re
ceipts being the chief factor. A decrease
in the visible of 4O3.00O bushels caused a
momentary rally to 76c, but It was not
supported and May went down again to
76c. and closed weak, 11c lower, at 76
76c. The market was largely a pro
fessional one, with the outside little inter
ested. Corn felt the weakness In wheat early,
as well as freer country offerings. Near
the end of the session rumors of cash
Inquiry caused covering by shorts, and
the market reacted. May closed c lower.
Oatr were quiet and steady, acting in.
dependently of other markets. May sold
botwepn 25VsC and 25c, and closed a shade
lower, at 23U&25c.
Provisions opened higher In sympathy
with, hogs, and held steady on local buy

The firm of F. G. Logan's Chicago grain,
letter to R. W. McKInnon & Co., says:
Wheat Liverpool was half lower.
World's shipments about 7,000,000, there be
ing some increase from Russia. The vis
ible supply decreased 405,000 against de
crease of 939,000 last year, it is now 60,
700,000 against 55,600,000 last year.- Cables
were distinctly dlsappoindng and this
with large arrivals at primary markets
caused a free liquidation here. Cash de
mand so far small. Broomhall cables
that the pressure on Liverpool market
came from short selling. The feeling at
the moment Is heavy and disappointing.
We still think, however, that the two fac
tors which caused strength last week will
gradually materialize, that the Northwest
movement will become very light and the
Argentine movement will be small, both
as compared with the movements through
February and March last year. Primary
receipts 741,000 against 476,000 last year.
Shipments 205,000 against 144,000 last year.
Estimated cars for tomorrow 50.
Corn May 39, closed. Saturday 39.
The weather Is clear and favorable for
movement. The increase of 2.304,000 In the
visible was against 3S2.000 increase last
year. This caused some selling pressure,
but ' In the main the tone was fairly
steady. The visible supply Is now 14,137,000
against 14,526,000 last year. Estimated
cars for tomorrow, 510.
Ots May 25,. closed Saturday 23. The
visible supply Increased 613,000 and Is now
10,154,000 against 5,332.000 last year. There
Is a good cash demand and the general
tone of the market Is steady.

COTTON MARKET ABNORMAL,
A January Sqncerc Malces Shorts
Hnstlc End Not Tet.
NEW YOR&, Jan. 28. Never In the
knowledge of the oldest traders has the
cotton market shown the abnormal con
ditions existing today. It is no unusual
thing to witness a "squeeze" at the end
of the season, but a -corner in January is
something out of the ordinary. Yet a
January "squeeze" has been worrying,
shorts In the cotton market here for soma
time past. Some believe that the deal cul
minated today with a rise of 255 points,
others believe the actual liquidation has
not been fully completed, and that, there
fore, there may be further developments.
Tbe market, beyond the special attention
given to January, has been almost' lifeless
Closing Saturday at 10.0e, January opened
this morning' at 10.30c, and advanced rap
Idly to 12.75c. The maj-ket broke-later to
lL50c. which was the iparket at noon. The
greatest Jdmps were jfrom 10.80c to 12c,
from 12.25c to 12.50c, thence to 12.75c. At
the latter point, a Ne York concern, rep
resenting big New England Interests, com
menced to sell right and left, and a little
later a Greek house also sold. This
stopped 'the rise, and the market sagged
to 1L50C.
The air was filled with rumors of cotton
to be delivered from Fall River, and ship
ments are known to have been made this
morning by express, guaranteed to be
here In time for January delivery. About
30,000 bales of January changed hands be
fore noon. It does not follow that the
long Interest was liquidated to this
amount, as the clique bought as well as
sold. The general list made a reluctant
advance of only 3 and 6 points, and ruled
Very dull.
During the rest of the. afternoon the
cotton market ruled quiet. January closed
11.05c, a net advance'of S3 points for the
day, and the other months 1 point higher
to 3 points lower. In accordance with the
advance In January, spot cotton sold at 12
cents, an advance ot,lc for the day.
The Cotton Market.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28. The fluctuations
of January cotton options were far more
violent than ever before known, reach
ing a matter of 255 points, amid Intense
excitement, though singularly small trad
ing. Shorts were crazed In the first hour
by sensational reports of 15 cents being
the price at which oversold January oper
ators were 'to be allowed to "settle," and
by claims that the clique would possibly
refuse to settle1 at all until the last mo
ment. March aad May followed, but
failed to develop abnormal strength. The
English market steadied' considerably in
keeping with our early display of pro
nounced strength, but closed in a non
committal sort of splrlt. with the Euro
pean trade generally looking to us for
incentive. The private reports from the
South declared that Now York shorts had
'in several Instances ordered cotton
shipped dt once by express, the belief be
ing that a considerable amount might yet
be brought through In time for delivery
on contract.
At the closo the market Was quiet and
steady, with January net 85 points higher,
and the other months one point higher to
three points lower.

AS TO A ROAD TAX.
Foothill Farmer 'Discusses a Vexed
Question.
BROWNSVILLE, Or., Jan. 26. (To the
Editor.) Noting a -recent communication
Written by'Ferd Groner, pertaining to
good roads, I wish to say I am also de
sirous for good roads and willing to be
taxed for them, provided the tax Is ex
pended on the roads I have to travel,
but I am opposed to the paying of taxes
for "main thoroughfares," boulevards, or
avenues (a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet) outside of my own com
munity, that perhaps I would hever see
or travel. I am also opposed to any
scheme that would cause the funds of
the' state, vhich belong to the citizens,
without regard to locality, to be used for
local instead of the general good. The
only just tax Is an ad'valorem tax to bo
used for the general good.
I am a foothill rancher and "Mr. Groner
will hardly tleny that the foothill com
munities at Oregon are as greatly In need
of better roads as any other part of God's
earth. Running through my land are two
public roads which would hardly pass as
"main thoroughfares," yet they are my
only means of egress and Ingress. My
taxes are as "much as anyone's In the
community, and let 'Mr. Groner or any
taxpayer suggest a law to levy a tax
for road purposes, or state aid (which
amounts to the same thing), to be used
on the public roads, irrespective of local
ity, and I will cheerfully come up with
my end of the stick as a taxpayer. I
once lived in. a section where '.'main thor
oughfares" were a hobby, but the scheme
died a very sudden and natural death.
If, In arguing against a special tax
for special roads, I have been free In the
use of the personal pronoun, It does not
signify, as my case would be that of
every other citizen left out in the cold by
the kind of legislation proposed. If such
legislation was enacted it Would not long
survive, as the taxpayers would unite
without regard to party and elect can
didates pledged to Its repeal. To make
a long story short, some of Mr. Groner's
suggestions are good and all are plaus
ible, but they do not conceal the cloven
foot of self-interest, and, while I am not
a prophet or the son of a prophet, I make
tho prediction that all those who advo
cate laws proposing to use state and
county funds for road Improvement In
special localities are domiciled within
hailing distance of prospective "main
thoroughfares."
Like your correspondent, I admit - the
road question Is a pressing, if not a des
perate one, and calls for heroic treat
ment, and the only way I can see Is to
borrow the money or pass compulsory
laws compelling labor or taxes for their,
creation. The road law of Texas com
pels every able-bodied man between the
ages of 18 and 45 to work five days each
year on the road or pay a dollar a day
In cash, and this can be supplemented by
a county road tax. The roads are su
pervised by the County Commissioners
and the neighborhood boss or bell-wether
who has an eye single to the bad places
In the road over which he has to travel
is eliminated from the field. 'There is
another method, not so practical, but
more easy, much practiced In these
parts, and Judging from the reference
made to the bad condition of the roads
In the vicinity of Reedvllle, practiced also
elsewhere, that Is, working the roads with
that unruly member, the Jaw.
WILLIAM PRESTON.
BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
Place It in Charge of the Historical
Society.
EUGENE, Or., Jan. 27. (To the Editor.)
Mr. Wisdom's suggestion in your Issue
of the 21th inst., urging the establishment
of a bureau of statistics Is a highly Im
portant one. An agency should be
equipped for collecting and arranging ac
curate statistics of the economic and pub
lic activities of Oregon. Data thus se
cured would be useful for impressing pos
sible Immigration. The collections
of such a bureau will be needed In con
nection with every department of the ex
position of 1905. The Information given
by such statistics scientifically classified
and graphically Illustrated will be neces
sary to give point to every exhibit But
such uses of the work of a statistical
bureau are really only the minor ones.
The data .furnished by such a bureau
would constitute the basis for sound and
consistently progressive legislation and
administration. The transition from hap
hazard to scientific methods In the con
duct of commonwealth affairs will be ef
fected through the mediation of a scien
tifically conducted bureau of statistics.
Such an agency would make available
the exact significance of every experi
ment of every other state. No common
wealth can achieve real progress by copy
ing systems or institutions. It must
adapt successful features to its own grad
ually developed institutions. What could
be more suggestive of chaos somewhere
than Oregon's self-congratulation over
"ridding herself of her railway commis
sion at the same that Washington seems
over anxloUs to have one?
A political bureau of statistics", however,
or one in the hands of an official not a
trained professional statistician, would be
worse tHan none at all. The State His
torical Society Is absolutely non-political
in its organization. Its main function is
to collect the sources of history for tho
fUtdre historian. In this Industrial age
what source.8 are half so Important as
the statistics which measure development
along progressive lines? The functions of
a bureau of statistics are includ
ed within those of -a state his
torical society. Why duplicate ad
ministrative machinery when the
state already has that which, will lend
itself in a most admirable manner to this
new service? Give the Oregon Historical
Society the means for assuming In a most
economical manner its natural functions.
It is, in fact, anxious to serve the state
in this most Important particular. It will
do the larger work for the future as It
is now doing more limited work for the
present. F. G. YOUNG.

A Squeezed Orange.
PORTLAND, Or.r Jan. 27. (To the Ed- j
itor.) The advertised assets of the Port- I
land Savings Bank after the wrecking !
and manipulation of nearly eight years
tells a sorry tale td depositors. They
show that an institution, once the finan
cial pride of the city, an institution that
won through the names of prominent
men as It stockholders and directors the
confidence of men and women in the bus
iness and Industrial walks of life, Is in
deed a sorry wreck that was driven upon
the shoals of disaster by a business mis
management thaU disgraces the name of
banking.
The court has acted wisely in ordering
the sale of these assets. Such order, in
deed, was long overdue, since, had It been
made years ago, say Just prior to the
incumbency of O. N. Denny as receiver,
thousands of dollars that have been ab
sorbed In receiving expenses and in lit
igatioh, chiefly in feeing a certain firm
of lawyers, would have been saVed to
the cruelly fleeced depositors. The wreck
Chamber of Commerce
age that still holds together will no
longer sustain the drain of these- ex
penses. Hence there is no objection In
any quarter to the sale of the junk that
forms the residue. The orange has been
squeezed. All concerned In the process
are now willing lhat the dry pulp be
auctioned off for the benefit (?) of de
positors. A more flagrant financial crime than
that of allowing this bank to close was
never committed In the name of bank
ing, except, perhaps, that of reopening
the savings bank a. few months in order
for a few on the "Inside" whose legal
and moral duty it Was to protect the de
positors, might loot it under cover of
respectability and "business."
