THE M0HNTNG OBEGOtflA'S, tHUttSDAY, FEBRUAKY 21, 1901.
II
COMMERCIAL AND
The market situation as usual at this
time of the year, Is devoid of feature? of ,
special Interest. There Is a .fairly goort i
trade in staples and an active movement
in some lines or produce, but as It Is loo ;
late for Winter trade, and too early for j
much Spring business, excitement is lack-
the bottom, and the week opened with
the California markets at the lowest fig
ure of the season, and with buyers and
sellers in the Northwest very near at a
deadlock. There was a slight improve
ment yesterday, but the situation does
not look very bright. Wool and mohair
are in the dumps, and the hop business
is at a standstill except for an occasional
new crop contract.
The Spring-like- weather has caused a
material Increase in the receipts of butter
and eggs, and there Is a weaker feeling
in these commodities, with much lower
prices for eggs. This Increase In receipts J
.has had one good effect In stopping East
ern butter and eggs from coming Into the
Northwest, for even the Sound country Is
now supplied by Oregon and Washington
producers. Potatoes are still very weak,
and the business is on a much more re
stricted scale than last year at this time.
Poultry is doing well this week, and veal
and pork are selling at the best figures of
the season, with supply hardly equal to
the demand The grocery markets are
steady, at unchanged figures.
WHEAT. The amount of wheat actual
ly changing hands within the past week
or 10 days has been of very small propor
tions, and the most of the sales thaT have
been made have been at prices In excess
of the export value, based on existing
freight rates. Walla Walla is generally
quoted at 53 cents per bushel, but during
the week at least a cent more has been
paid for it, and even at that figure but
little has been moved. Some of the ex
porters who are pretty well loaded up
with wheat refuse to get their limits
above 54 cents, but very little wheat has
been purchased at that figure, and as the
greater part of the stock still unsold is
in strong hands, but little of the cereal
will be moved until prices adance, or
perhaps go enough lower to frighten the
holders.
The seat-on has got around to a point
where it is becoming apparent that the
crop of 1S00 was overestimated. Exact
figures are not yet available, but enough
is known to warrant the belief that the
crop of the three states, Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, is not in excess of 35,
000,000 bushels, and it may possibly fall to
35 000 000 bushels, the original estimate
made by The Oregonian last AugusL
These figures, of course, leave some al
leged authorities with 5,000,000 or G.000,000
bushels of wheat in their mind, but as it
can De ' sloughed" off without disturbing
the world's markets, no harm can result.
In fact. It might be termed beneficial to
the situation, as it leaves 50 or CO ships
Iree to engage in other business. The
"Invisible supply" of wheat which is
lugged around under the hats of some au
thorities from year to year would feed
and seed a continent, if there was not
so much "hot air" mixed with it that
evaporation is hastened as the season
draws to a close.
Freights are holding . their own fairly
well, and have thus far resisted all efforts
to hammer them down below 40 shillings.
Two vessels arriving within the past week
missed 4D-shHHng charters by failure to
arrhc before Febmary 1, but have since
been taken up, one of them at 40 shillings
and the other at 41s 3d. A ship with a
greater carrying capacity than both of
these vessels combined has since been
fixed in San Francisco at 3Ss 9d. These
figures indicate a hardening market in
California, and if their present fine crop
prospects continue, the question of secur
ing ships, will be a serious one before the
new crop and the old are both moved.
Very little new crop chartering is being
done, but a ship for January, 1902, load
ing is reported taken at 37s Cd, which is
about the highest rate ever paid in this
port for such a long shot. Later reports
from the interior are to the effect that
the growing crop is uninjured except on
an occasional exposed point, and little or
no reseeding will be needed unless more
bad weather is encountered later In the
season.
WOOL AND MOHAIR.-The outlook for
wool is not so pleasing as it might be. and
most of tne dealers are proceeding with
extreme caution and waiting for the mar
ket to settle before entering the field.
Mohair promises to open lower than at
any time in the history of the industry
in this state. Eastern advices report an
utter lack of Inquiry, and state that the
very moderate requirements have been
met by extra fine Turkey mohair, which
has been sold at remarkably low figures,
while ordinary average fleece Is practical
ly unsalable. The weakness is due to Ihc
change in styles which has left mohair
goods on the shelf. The wool situation
in the East Is thus reviewed by the New
York Journal of Commerce, under date
of February 1G:
The wool market Is In a very unsatis
factory state, and prices are weak. From
some of the seaboard markets reports of
increased inquiry are received, but the
transactions give evidence of very con
servative ideas on the part of buyers. The
situation of the woolen goods market
makes buying as yet a good deal of a
speculation, and although on certain lines
the business which has been done would
indicate pretty clearly the trend of de
mand: ab a rule the season has not prog
ressed far enough to form an estimate
of what will be needed In the raw mate
rial line. Dealers realize that it is of lit
tle use to force wool upon unwilling cus
tomers, and, as a rule, are holding their
stock at substantially unchanged prices
though there are Instances where it hat
been necessary to move wool, and In such
cares low prices have been made. With
the exception of forced 6ales, the market
Is substantially on the same basis as for
the last few weeks. When a manufac
turer is found who really wants the wool
there is comparatively little trouble in se
curing asking prices, when the stock is
satisfactory, but where buyers are shop
ping around the market to see what can
be done, the deal usually fails of culmina
tion. PORK AND PORK PRODUCTS.-Thc
Hammond Packing Company reports the
following regarding the Eastern markets:
During the past week the supply of hogs
has been quite liberal In Eastern packing
centers: in fact, the largest weekly sup
ply of the season. The market has been
quite active on both packing and shipping
account, and farmers have been willing to
sill at ruling prices, which have been
from 53 20fia 43 for lig.'it, and $5 255 50 fr
heavy packing. Locally, the demand for
hogs has been In excess of thp sunnlv.
consequently the ma-rket has advanced
from 50$75c per 100, and farmers are hold
ing for higher prices.
Provisions. Only a moderate trade has
been transacted during the week, but
the undertone of the market indicated
more strength, and as the season ad
vances higher prices on both cured meats
and lard may be looked for.
Lard. A fair business was reported in
lard: prices a little unsettled. During the
week prices advanced c. but the ad
vance wrs again lost, although it closed
5 cents higher on the whole range, so that
FINANCIAL NEWS
should the supply of hogs fall off some
what, a higher market would, doubtlets,
follow, especially as the world's supply
shows only half of that of one year ago.
Dry-Salted Meats. Trade was a little
slow In dry salted and smoked dry salted
meats, but prices ruled firm. Both short
clear sides and extra short clears were
called for moderately. Heavy bellies were
called for quite freely. Backs an butts
in small request.
Hams and Breakfast Bacon. Trade fair
and feeling stronger, especially hams, for
with hogs 75 cents higher than a year ago
and hams from ?ic lower than at the
same period last year, the situation Is
somewhat extraordinary, and as hogs are
not likely to go on a lower level, hams
will naturally advance, so a higher mar
ket would not be surprising.
BUTTER. The receipts of butter are in
creasing so rapidly that the market Is In
clined to weakness. Best creamery 13
plentiful at 45 and 50 cents, although a
few special brands are still held at high
er prices. The output of the local cream
eries has increased to such an extent that
there Is but little demand for California
butter, and receipts from that quarter
have ceased. Dairy Is plentiful at 35 and
37 cents, with something choice occa
sionally selling at 40 cents. Store In only
nominal demand at 20 and 25 cents per
roll. With a continuation of mild weath
er and heavy receipts, still lower figures
are expected.
EGGS. Sales of eggs were made yester
day as low as 13 cents, but the bulk of
the offerings moved at 13 and 14 cents.
Receipts for the first three days of the
week were very heavy, and. while the
distribution has Increased very material
ly since the lower prices came Into effect,
stocks were accumulating at 14 and 15
cents, and the figures quoted yesterday
were made In an effort to cloan up. There
Is but little outsde demand, even at these
figures, but It is not thought that .the
market will go much lower, as It would
result In liberal quantities going Into cold
storage. Thore are no Eastern eggs re
maining in the market, and none will be
needed for many months.
POULTRY. The demand for poultry Is
still excellent, and good prices are realized
for all first-class stock. Best chickens sell
at ti 50 and $5 per dozen, and thus far
have cleaned up readily at these figures.
Live turkeys are not doing so well this
week, but dressed move fairly well at 10
and 11 cents. Ducks are wanted for the
Chinese festivities, and sell well at quotations.

SEW YORK STOCK! MARKET.
Comlupr Protracted Holiday Cannes
Wealtnoss and Lower Prices.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The dread of the
unknown was the depressing factor in
the stock market today. Preparations
were evidently being made for the In
terim of three consecutive holidays by
lightning speculative deals. The possibil
ities of the three days' interval which
were canvassed by the speculative public
were by no means wholly on the side of
depression, but whatever favorable devel
opments seemed possible, have been so
thoroughly discounted that the balance of
chance Is considered clearly on the side
of lower prices. The speculative world
seems to have arrived at the conclusion
that the completion of the details of the
steel merger is not likely to be followed
immediately by a campaign of manipula
tion for higher prices In order to make
a market for the new securities. It will
be remembered that this was what hap
pened two years ago when the newly
fledged Industrials were first thrown up
on the world. Indications seem to point
clearly to a desire for a quiet stock mar
ket conditions for the present on the
part of tihe financial powers who are most
largely concerned in the steel negotia
tions as they have also been In the recent
railroad consolidations.
It is not hard to understand why, with
colossal financial undertakings In em
bryo, those concerned In them should de
sire most of all quiet and stable condi
tions both In the money and stock mar
kets. The progress of negotiations Is
necessarily involved In further complex
ity by marked fluidity of market prices
for stocks, and uncertain rates for money.
This makes intelligible the evident de
sire of the "financial powers to discourage
further excited speculations at this time.
Of course a violent break In prices would
be equally at variance with their wishes.
The certainty that powerful support
would be accorded to' prevent a sudden
and violent decline tends to repress bear
activity. It is evident that every effort
is being made to preserve the tranquillity
of the money market by keeping avail
able all possible resources and also by
reassuring expressions of opinions as to
the ability of the money market to meet
future requirements.
An effort was made during the after
noon to turn the market against the
shorts In the hope of driving them to
cover, but the effort proved futile and
the closing was weak with many stocks
at the lowest. There was a significant
break in the principal steel stocks at
the last. Steel and Wire, Federal Steel
and National Steel falling suddenly 2 to
2K- There was some show of strength
In Steel and Wire preferred, but other
wise the steel stocks were all weak,
hoop preferred dropping 31. In the
principal active railroad stocks there was
at one time declines of 1 to 2 points.
Meml3:rs of the Grangers, Southwestern
and Pacific groups were notably affected.
DcMware & Hudson was erratic but gen
bllls, $1 S3VL to $4 S3SJ. Silver certificates,
last night. General Electric was forced
up at one time 12 points, but closed with
a net gain of only V&. The level of activ
ity in the market was lower than for
many weeks past, the day's business fall
ing to about the smallest for any full
day since election.
Bonds were reactionary in sympathy
with stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,-
345.000.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
Business was much restricted on the
Stock Exchange here tpday, and the tone
was undoclded. The only exceptions were
Investment shares, which were In good
demand on the confident expectation that
the bank rate would be reduced. Amer
icans were the weakest In the market.
There was very little speculative interest
either way, but business from the start
was dull. Prices sagged until Wall street
opened. On sales from New xork real
izing began here among tired holders.
Some operators In London had a report
today that J. P. Morgan Is about to go
off on a yachting cruise, and they inter
preted it as meaning that he Is unload
ing, or has finished unloading, and that
the boom Is over. Money wa3 tight, de
spite the expected lowering of the bank
rate. Sliver enjoyed a spurt on buying

Chicago Grain anil Prodnce.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Indifference of the
Liverpool market gave rise to expec
tations of lower prices for wheat here,
but the tap of the gong found offerings
valued somewhat higher than they were
at the close yesterday. May opened un
changed to "4c higher at 75&c. The first
batch of buying orders being satisfied, the
market became quiet but firm on moder
ate Northwest receipts, and the fact that
large areas of the Winter wheat belt are
without snow protection. Buying by lead
ing operators and soaboard advices of a
better export situation caused a sharp
bulge to 7C5c A profit-taking movement
greeted the advance, but the close was
strong, May s1" ' over yesterday, at
764c
Corn relinquished the leadership' on
'Change after the first hour's trading,
having- held- it undisputed for a week.
The close was 48bC higher, at 40c.
Oats were fairly active with a narrow
range. May closed c higher, at 25c.
The undertone of the provision market
was strong, although business generally
was quiet. Hog receipts were less than
had been expected. a,nd this, combined
with a good cash demand and the strength
of the grain markets, resulted in an ad
vance which was held. May pork closed
10gl2c higher lard 7"&ffl0c up, and ribs
5c Improved.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Cb.Ica.KO Grain Goip.
F. G. Logan, of Chicago, wires R. W.
McKInnon as follows:
"Liverpool wheat was d higher. Pri
mary receipts were 452,000 bushels, against
529,000 same date last year. Shipments,
22S.000. against S9.000 bushels same date
last year. St. Louis reported an excellent
milling demand there from the East. Lo
cally, the tone continues strong. This is
duo almost wholly to the fact that the
long wheat is not pressing on the market.
It is, apparently, not for sale at the price.
Outfilde trade Is small, and, comparative
ly, outside holdings are light. These facts,
with other local conditions, seem to Indi
cate the existence of large concentrated
holdings In some quarters. Export de
mand so far today has been very small.
Estimated cars for tomorrow, 45."

The Metal Markets.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. Tin in the local
market for metals started In a somewhat
depressed condition, as the result of un
favorable information from London, where
prices went off about 5s to 121) 12s 6d
for spot. Later, however, a reaction set In,
and prices recovered the early Iosi on a
good general demund. Sales were made
at $26 90 and $26 95 for spot delivery, clos
ing at $26 90 bid and $27 asked. Future de
liveries were weak and lower, March at
$26 35S26 75, and May at $2626 20; trad
ing In these positions being falr'y ac
tive. On the other hand, however, the
general list remains In a listless condi
tion. Copper In London declined 5s o '1
2s 6d, but locally a dull and featureless
market prevnlled, with prices nominally
quoted at the close $17 for Lake Superior,
and -$16 62 for casting and electrolytic.
Lead ruled dull at $4 37 despite a fur
ther loss at London, the close being weak,
at 14 15s.
Spelter was also quiet, though buyers
and sellers were nearer together than, for
some time past, closing prices being $3 97
04 02U.
Iron continues dull, with an easy under
tone prevalent, with no material change
in prices. At Glasgow the close was at
51s 7d, and at MIddlesboro 46s 4&d.

Boston Wool Mnrlcet.
BOSTON, Feb. 20. The American Wool
&. Cotton Reporter tomorrow will say:
The wool market has rather increased
In activity the past week, and a large
amount of stock has been moved. We
figure the sales at over 6,000,000 pounds.
Including which were some good-sized
lines of territories, scoured and medium,
fleeces. There has been considerable pres
sure to sell, and as a result, consumers
have In most cases been able to secure
wools at pretty low prices, especially ter
ritory wools, which are now selling very
close to the level of values prevailing at
the time when the boom In 1S99 was
started.
The wool sales for the week In Boston
amounted to 5,303,200 pounds domestic, and
9C5.000 pounds foreign, making a total of
6,370,200 pounds.

MONEY IN HAY. .
An Exhibit of Result of Intelligent
nud Patient Industry.
PORTLAND. Or., Feb. 20. (To the Edi
tor.) Mrs. J. M. Wilkinson, who lives
with her husband on a farm In Benton
County, near Corvallls, was stopping with
a relative In Portland this week and in
a casual conversation about their hay
crop of 1900, made some statements that
it seems are worth giving to the public.
She and her husband own 26a acres of
beaver dam hay land. A part of It has
been In timothy seven years, and last
year's was the seventh crop taken. The
common impression Is that timothy will
not do well continuously, for that length
of time, but their crop last year was one
of the best they have ever realized. They
put over ICO tons Into one stack which
they sold to a Government contractor here
at Portland for nearly $1000, and a con
siderable quantity was consumed on the
farm. The yield .was over four tons to
the acre, and they got $9 per ton for
what they sold to the contractor. The
hay was put Into so large a stack by a
home-made Invention. Two large fir trees
stood near the edge of the meadow, and a
hundred feet apart. Between these trees,
at an elevation of 50 feet, was stretched
a wire rope, and suspended rrom tnis
wire were ropes and pulleys by which the
hay was carried to the top. I do not be
lieve there was another $1000 haystack
put up in the United States last year.
Mrs. Wilkinson Is1 one of the best butter
makers in the state, and has furnished
one of the hotels in Corvallls with a
most toothsqme; article In that line for
19 'years -without a 'break.'
While' the world Is praising crowned
heads and people .of renown, let us not
forget those 'who by patient Industry, by
faithfulness and skill, have added so much
by example and worth to the sum total
of human happiness and well-being.
