GOMMERGIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS
"With the wheat market as flat as a
flounder, and wool unsalable at anything
like the prices expected by growers, the
shortest month of the year is drifting out
to slow music. "Warehouse receipts on
both of these commodities are still as
good as the regular coin of the realm, but
holders buy with caution so long as they
are carrying the product of their flocks
and llelds without an accumulating gain
in value. Potatoes and onions have helped
matters some in the country near by
Portland, the former advancing fully 10
cents per cental, while onions are soar
ing up near to record figures. In smaller
products there is considerable firmness in
poultry, veal and pork, all of which are
selling at the best prices of the season.
The egg market has held around 14 cents
for nearly a week, and for anything that
is sold Tn this city, this figure is still ob
tainable in small lots, as it permits the
retailer to sell at 13 cents. For shipping
to outside points, however, a concession
of from M to 1 cent per dozen is made.
OrVgon apples are still in 'good supply,
and for fancy stock good prices are real
ized. The grocery markets are steady,
with no changes in prices. Flour is weak
in sympathy with wheat, but oats and
barley are steady at quotations.
"WHEAT The greater part of the wheat
that has changed hands during the past
week has been sold to millers, and as
even the demands of the latter are very
moderate on account of the demoralized
flour trade In the Orient, the business is
on a restricted scale. The prices war
ranted by the European markets are not
sufficiently attractive to induce holders to
let go, unless they are so situated that
they must sell, for whatever is offered. A
choice grade of "Walla "Walla for milling
will command better than 56 cents, but for
export no one will quote over 53V4 cents.
The freight situation remains unchanged.
There is very little tonnage offering, and
owners have not yet got down below 40
shillings for anything this side of April.
Some new crop tonnage is offering, but
It is held at rates which exporters do not
care to pay. The longest shot thus far re
ported is a January, 1901. ship at 37s 6d,
but this was done when the spot situa
tion was firmer, and it is very doubtful
about Us being obtainable again for at
least several weeks, when something more
definite can be learned regarding pros
pects for the coming crop. The weather
continues highly favorable for the grow
ing crop, and. unless a March frost inter
feres with matters, it will have a very
early start. The foreign crop conditions
are on the whole favorable, so much so.
that they are having a bearish effect on
the market. The Argentine Republic, in
spite of the reports of a crop but little
over half as large as that of a year ago,
continues to put out enormous shipments,
and these aid in making a weak market
weaker. The American visible is still very
ponderous, but European stocks are not
unwieldy. They are so moderate, in fact,
that such an eminent authority as H.
Rider Haggard declares that wheat in
Liverpool would advance to $3 per bushel
within 10 days after a declaration of war
between England and any of the big
powers. Mr. Haggard's forte is romanc
ing, however, and his bullish prediction
may not carry all the weight that It oth
erwise might. There are other eminent
English authorities, however, who are of
the opinion that the cereal is in line for
a "boost" and the Corn Trade News,
under date of February 15, says:
It is likely, we believe, that both France
and Germany will be active buyers of
foreign wheat in the concluding weeks of
the present season, which,, will help tp
bring the figures into line with expecta
tions. There is no doubt but that the
revival of the past few days upon the
Continent is due to the Increased likeli
hood of the proposed measures for rais
ing the price of wheat ultimately be
coming operative. French and German
Importers in ant'eipation of the fiscal
changes, may some day enter the mar
ket and stock up in a wholesale man
ner. WOOL No sales of wool of any im
portance have been reported for the past
week, and the market remains in a very
weak condition, with a strong probability
that lower prices will prevail before the
opening of the new season. Mohair is In
worse shape than wool, and Eastern
-dealers are refusing to put out figures un
til the market settles. The mohair clip
In this state will be much larger than ever
before, and growers are Inclined to be
gloomy over the outlook. The unsatisfac
tory condition of the Eastern wool market
is thus set forth by the Boston Herald:
Prices are still unsatisfactory: In some
cases very unsatisfactory. Owners of
wool In some instances have come to
the point where money must be had, and
they have met manufacturers with offers
to sell wool that have tempted them to
buy. In some Instances these offers have
hurt prices a good deal, for they have
heen used to break down the Ideas of
other holders of wool. The other holders
have felt that they must have some of
the trade that was passing, and they have
been constrained to beat the other low
prices, in order to secure the trade. It
is very plain that at the rate manufac
turers are running there is not trade
enough for all, and in the struggle for
trade, prices have declined.
POTATOES AND ONIONS Every
steamer sailing south carries from 2000
to 5000 sacks of -potatoes for the San Fran
cisco market, and the rail shipments are
also heavy. The California market has
Improved slightly, and there has been &
corresponding advance locally, and, dur
ing the week, as high as 65 cents was paid
for fancy Burbanks, although the greater
part of the stock goes at less money, most
ly around 60 and 55 cents. Onions have
been booming, but the high prices paid
brought out such liberal offerings that the
price received a temporary setback a few
days ago. The best stock is now held at
?4 per cental, and there Is nothing ob
tainable under $3 per cental. Holders ex
press the opinion that the temporary
weakness will be followed by an advance
which will carry the price above $5, as It
is still two months before there will be
any California onions In the market.
BUTTER Steady with supply and de
mand about equal, and most of the cream
ery selling at 50 cents, exccpt for some
select brands with an established trade.
These are bringing 55 cents, not because
they are worth any more than the other,
but because dealers succeed In securing It.
The California market continues weak,
and some of the surplus stock from the
south Is still dumped on this market.
Store butter is weak in price, principally
because the greater part of the receipts
are strong otherwise.
EGGS For single case lots. 14 cents is
generally quoted for eggs, but stocks are
accumulating, and when they are shipped
to outside markets it is necessary to cut
prices in order to work 'business. Sales
were made yesterday as low as 1313V
cents. They will hardly go much lower
without bringing the cold-storage men Into
th.e market.
POULTRY But few chickens have
been received this week, and the . price
is firm In consequence. Best coops will
readily command ?5 per dozen, and mixed
in fair condition soil at $3 50 and $4 per
dozen. Ducks are In good demand on ac
count of the Chinese festivities, but geese
are not wanted at very high figures. The
demand for turkeys is nominal. Dressed
will sell In a limited quantly at 14 and 15
rents, and live at 10 and 11 cents.

in the stock market, while quite largo,
was very much congested in a few stocks.
There was continued strength In St.
Paul, and a late buoyant rise In Sugar,
and notable gains by some of the less
prominent high-priced industrials, but the
general market was not much inclined to
respond in sympathy, although the de
pression which existed In some parts of
the list early in the day was partly re
lieved. The speculative tone was more in
clined to sympathize with the continued
heaviness of the steel stocks than with
the strong features of the market. The
inclination of the steel stocks to gravi
tate to a lower level Is a distinct dis
appointment to the speculative world, as
It was hoped that when the .doubts and
uncertainties attending the period of ne
gotiations were cleared up and the great
consolidation of control fully assured,
prices of the securities would reflect the
hoped-for advantages to the owners of
the properties. There was large trading
again in the stocks of the group today,
but It was In large part on arbitrage op
erations from one stock to another.
The discrepancy in the prices of the
stocks and their privileges of conversion
into the stock of the United States steel
corporation forms the basis of these op
erations. They consist in the purchase
of such members of the group as are pro
portionately low. and the simultaneous
sale against these purchases of stocks
which are high. The natural tendency of
these operations is to bring the prices of
the various stocks to a basis consistent
with their relative claims for the new
stock. For the purpose of accommodating
these arbitrage operators, there were also
dealings on the curb In contracts to de
liver when issued the new United States
steel corporation stock. The common
demanded 40J4 at one time this morning,
and preferred 84. but before the close
the quotation for the common stock had
receded to below 3S, and that for the pre
ferred to about S2.
The transactions amounted to only a
few thousand shares, but the quotations
were accepted on the stock exchange as
a basis of operations. These securities
are expected to be listed ultimately on the
stock exchange, but It Is not unusual that
securities so transferred from the curb to
the exchange sell lower after the change.
An example Is that of the New Union Pa
cific convertible 4 per cent bonds issued
to provide for the Southern Pacific pur
chase, which sold in the unlisted depart
ment of the exchange for the first tlme
today over two points below the outside'
quotations. The strength of St. Paul to
day was accompanied by assertions that
the dividend will certnlnly be increased at
the approaching meeting. The movement
of sugar was attributed to reports that
the import duty on Cuban raw sugar is to
be remitted. The 'money market continued
easy today.
Bonds became somewhat Irregular on a
fair volume of dealings. Total sales.

the engagement of four loads of wheat

NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
There was no improvement In business
on the stock exchange today, but the
tone was steady. There was news of gen
eral French's victory at Mlddleburg, the
capture of 3X) men, three guns and a great
quantity of stores, but It reached London
too late to affect anything except the
street market for Africans.
The American department was more
cheerful than it has been for some days
In the earlier hours, but when New York
opened and sent over heavy selling orders
In Union Pacific, the market here broke
badly. There was a general rally, how
ever, in the street after our close on pur
chases for New York account of St.
Paul Issues and the circulation again of
reports that the Hill deal was being re
vived. The Bank again bought CO0O of
gold In bars. Money rates were unchanged.
Chi en go Grnln Gossip.
F. G. Logan. Chicago, wired as follows
to R. W. McKlnnon & Co.:
"Wheat ruled soft during most of the
session, and local traders have liquidated
their holdings to a large extent, we think.
The break had the appearances of being
forced by important interests to relieve
the market of the holdings of the tallers.
It was difficult to see where this wheat
went, although we think shorts, as a rule,
covered freely at the bottom, and there
was also scattered commission -house buy
ing on the break. Legitimate conditions,
as we see them, are getting more healthy.
The primary movement Is getting moder
ate, and the milling demand Is fair. We
still think wheat should be purchased on
the soft spots, lor the time being, at
least. Estimated cars for tomorrow, 43."

TRAVELERS GUIDE.
BOSTON. Feb. 27. Rev. Dr. C. Wins
low, of this city, vice-president of the
Egypt exploration fund, today announced
the discovery of a most valuable trophy
among tho large number of papyri re
cently received by Dr. Wlnslow for dis
tribution among several universities, 29
of which went to the University of Penn
sylvania. It Is the oldest fragment of the
gospels now in this country. Dr. Wins
low states that the papyrus contains a
large part of the first chapter of the gos
pel of St. Matthew. It was found at
Oxyrhyrnchus, 140 miles south of Cairo,
near the famous "Logla" or "sayings of
Jefius," and Its date is placed by some
experts at 150 A. D., and by the editors
of the societies' publications at 50 or CO
years later.
This papyrus of St. Matthew belongs to
the same class as the famous Sinailc and
Vatican codices, and of course Is a re
markable corroboration of those texts and
the present accepted version. On an Im
portant doctrinal point It declares in com
mon the exact language : "Joseph, thou
son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary, thy wife, for that which Is con
ceived In her is of the Holy Ghost." This
papyrus is the oldest fragment of the
gospels, or, indeed, of the New Testa
ment. Dr. Wlnslow states that valuable papyri
of Homer. Thucydldes and Euclid are
ateo In the collection. The papyrus of
Thucydldes contains no less than chapters
xxvl-xil of his fourth book, which dates
from the first century".
"Very fortunate, too," says Dr. Wlns
low, "Is the" University of Pennsylvania
to possess a splendid papyrus of a large
part of the fifth book of the Iliad In very
good text- It dates a little later than 200
A. D. The accentuation Is full and
somewhat unique.
"The petition of DIonysia to the pre
fect, dating ISO A. D., Is a legal document
of many pages, full of just such refer
ences to precedents as one finds In peti
tion and argument to our Supreme Court ,
of 1901. DIonysia claims her right to
property conferred by her marriage con
tract, and enjoy the Income of it, without
the Interference of Chaeremon, her father.
"A bit of Euclid of the third century
Illustrates proposition five of the second
book, and papyrus 930 reveals the fact
that private syndicates existed at S3 A. D.,
for It states how a company of residents
got together to do some banking at the
village of Tuxls the banking of the Nile,
not of funds. Is meant In order to keep
their lands from being too much watered.
"All In all. these papyri form a won
derful collection for any library or mu
seum to possess. A Phlladelphlan last
season sent to the Egypt exploration fund
office In Boston a check for 5750, and Dr.
Wlnslow says that is why Philadelphia
reaps .so handsome a return.. in papyri, as
well as antiquities. All subscriptions to
