NETiV YORK, Feb. 2S.-After an unavail ing effort to check the yielding tendency of prices the market gave up to the de pression, and the closing was decidedly weak at the lowpst, with something very like a spilling out of stocks going' on all through thej list. The steel, stocks -were most acutely affected, and were weak throughout. One or two In the group ad- stocks issued, though not on as large a scale as. yesterday. These stocks, which were regarded as the Index of the value of all the members of the group, showed an increasingly heavy tone! Bids of 37 for the common and 82& for the preferred were .put in at the opening by brokers acting on behalf of the banking interests concerned in the organization of the new company. There was some firmness in the common stock, during the day, but In the closing dealings the bid for the common stock was reduced to 36 and for the preferred stock to 0. The good conditions reported In the Iron and steel trade by the Iron Age in Its Issue today was disregarded in the trading in the steel stocks. The last prices showed National Tube AM. lower than last night, American Hoop, Steel & "Wire. Tin Plate and Steel & Wire preferred frpm 2 to 24, and the others of the group from a fraction to two points. The stocks not Included In the consolidation were also weak, Tennessee Coal declining nearly three points. The relapse In Sugar, Tobacco and St, Paul, after a short-lived opening bulge, also served to discourage the speculation. Efforts were made to substitute other stocks for the purpose of sustaining the market, but they were Ineffectual. They were most conspicuous in the smelting stocks, which rose 5 for the common and 2 for the preferred, Anaconda with a rise of 2"4 and Amalgamated Copper, with an advance of three points. The money market continued easy, not withstanding the large absorption by the sub-treasury and the demands for the month and settlements. It Is not unlike ly, however, that the money market pos sibilities are an element In the caution manifest In the speculation. A sharp rise in sterling exchange, in response to the harder money market In London, served to emphasize this caution. Probab ly the true explanation of the heaviness of the market Is the Inaction of the trad ing, Tvith many of the largest forces In the speculative world away on vacations, after the prolonged period of unprece dented activity and excitement In the stock market. Bonds were relatively better sustained than stocks. Total sales par value. $3. 025,000. BONDS. U. S. 2s. ref. reg105K,lT. T.

May wheat opened unchanged to a shade lower at 7676c, declined during the first hour to 75c un der moderate sales by commission houses and generally bearish pit traders. Out side Interests were particularly out of the market, and the trade following the open ing was confined to local hands. There were little spurts of activity, but these "were scattered among the more conspicu ous periods of stagnation. The first dip was made in the face of steady cables, and moderate receipts. There were re ports that a powerful elevator owner bought moderate!.' early, but this buying for the time being was overlooked. The persistency of the demand finally had the effect of alarming shorts, nnd a sharp rally to 76c took place. The liberality of seaboard clearances, and the moderate primary receipts, together wl,th reports of the appearance of fly In Central Illi nois, also combined to make the bear con tingent somewhat uneasy, but their pes simism was too deep to attach any Im portance to anything advanced by the bulls, and despite the efforts of the agents of the elevator concern, to sustain the market, it was hammered back to 7f.c, at which It closed, ic under yesterday. Business in the corn pit was fairly ac tive. The market eased off early In sym pathy with wheat, but the persistent buy- Ing of a prominent operator and the rally In wheat drove the shorts to cover. May closed ftc higher at 40C Transactions In the oats market were fairly large, prices following wheat and corn. May closed unchanged at 25c. In provisions the activity was chiefly In lard which was sold on a liberal scale by a Milwaukee packing concern. Pork was also for sale from the same source, and as the market received only scatter ing support, prices declined and the cIosb was rather heavy. May pork closed 124c lower; lard 7l0c down, and ribs 5c depressed. The leading tutures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening:. Highest. Lowest. Cloe.

G. Logan, Chicago, wires R. W. Mc Klnnon & Co. as follows: The wheat market has been dull. Some liquidation by holders' which caused a decline In the price" early, although at this "writing the market has regained Its early loss. A prominent elevator interest has been the principal buyer. The pit sentiment is decidedly bearish and they lose no opportunity- to hammer the price. The Important Interests in wheat appear to be waiting for conditions to change more In thftir favor before they begin In the aggressive. We see no reason to change our opinion that It Is wise for the time being to buy wheat on the soft spots. The domestic trade. Is Improving. The Price Current reports general wheat coxidltlons better than last year at this time. SAX FRAN'CISCO MARKETS. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2S.

Two big pile rafts will be built at West port, Or., this season by the Robertson Raft Company. Captain H. R. Robertson, president of the company, who 1b at the Portland, says one of these rafts will be towed to San Francisco in May, and the other In August. "The cradle for forming these rafts," he said, "was recently towed from Stella, Wash, as Westport was considered more convenient for obtaining the logs, while deep water and absence of wind and strong currents were also in favor of the work. A V-flume, seven miles long, has Just been completed down along Beaver Creek, by the Beaved Flume & Lumber Company, and the. logs are already arriv ing at the mouth of the creek. The course of the flume is so straight that piles 120 feet long can slide down, along with the current, for the entire seven miles. Or egon fir timber is used altogether in the construction of the rafts, which will con tain 1,160,000 lineal feet, equal to 1.400,000 feet board measure. Between 200 and 303 men will be employed In the woods, on the flume, and In the construction of the rafts, so that many thousand dollars will be paid out In the vicinity of Westport. by the company this year. The most of the money ultimately finds Its way to Portland." Captain Robertson has been engaged in towing log rafts to San Francisco for several years, and considers the business a decided success. , He finds that opposi tion to his method has sprung up among ship owners who fear that some day the towing of rafts In the ocean might inter fere with freighting timber on board of Downing, Hopkins Si Co. WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor Chamber of Commerce IIOTn TELEPHONES vessels, but as shipping logs- on board ocean-going craft lias always been at tended with danger, the captain thinks their fears of raft competition are un founded. At one time the sentiment against towing logs was crystallized into a bill before .Congress, jnaking it unlaw ful to tow log rafts in American waters, but there Is np danger of the passage of such a bill, -as protests came both from the Atlantla and, Pacific, Coasts, showing that there was no danger to shipping by the loss of logs at sea. 1 " "There la a great deal more danger In shipping lumber by coasting .vessels than logs by raft," Captain "Robinson snys, "as several lumber-laden, vessels were lost at sea within the past year, on this Coast, while all the log rafts were successfully towed to their destination.-- Our past ex perience has taught us liow to gunrd against breaking of rafts or loss of logs at sea. and we have no fears of accident hereafter." Captain Robertson will short ly move his family from Seattle and ex pects hereafter to make his headquarters In Portland. DID NOT GET THE CONTRACT Thong-li Josepli Snpple's Bid "Yns Lowest lie Cannot Build Boat. Joseph Supple, the East Side boat builder, says he has just received In formation by wire from General Beebe that he did not get the contract for build ing the Government vessel on which ho bid with others on this Coast. Although his bid was 51S.S50 the contract went to a San Francisco firm for $20,000. Mr. Sup ple 'wired General Beebe to assist In see ing that justice be done, but before he reached the department the contract had already been let to a San Francisco -firm. Mr. Supple said he was not surprised, as he- did not expect the contract could be secured by a Portland man, and that Soma pretext or other would have been urged against letting It to a Portland man. "The exense urged In 'this case for not awarding the contract to me,", said Mr. Supple yesterday, "was that I had not compiled with the contract, and yet this Is In the face of the fact that I agreed to comply fully with the contract and sliould have done so. One of the provisions In the. contract was that the stem should be natural crook of Eastern oak. I wrote that it would be a little hard to get crook of Eastern oak, but It could be had of Oregon oak, and I suppose on this pre text the contract was given the San Fran cisco firm. If that excuse had not been offered then some other would have been urged so Portland should not get the con tract. It simply carries out my impres sion that Portland Is discriminated against at Washington, which Is' all wrong. I should have had this contract and then this money would have been dis tributed right here- among .the-ship car penters. It cannot be said we cannot do the work, for we can do better work .than anywhere else on the Coast. I think Portland should take some action . by which we can get our share of Govern ment ship construction on this Coast." All-Day Mlsilonary Mectlnjr. ' The Woman's Home Missionary Soci ety of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as represented by the Oregon conference and Portland district met yesterday In Central Church. Albln'a. at 10 A. M. Mrs.' Dell Stuart, president of tho conference organization, presided. The Woman's Home Missionary Societies of the various denominations throughout the country united In setting apart this day as a time of humiliation and prayer. Dr. Lathrop, of GrAce Church, gave a brief address on the value of such a day and service. Dr. Kellogg, of First Church, gave a very impressive word pic ture of the Alaska Indians, their coun try and their needs; showing plainly their trend toward religious things when once started and the power nnd success of the gospel as a civilizing Influence among them. In a letter of greeting from the former president, Mrs. Mulligan, now of Rose burg, she outlined the work. Its growth and Its possibilities In Southern Oregon. The work of the district claimed atten tion at the afternoon session. Mrs. J. W. Bushong, president of that organization, was In the chair. Among the many tid dresses, mention can only be made of that given by Rev. Howard Osborne on the work of the Portland circuit, of which he has charge. The distance around the circuit Is CO miles, for the four points are situate east, south, west and north of the city. The parsonage at Rockwood will be ready for occupancy early in April and the friends of the district will try to furnish it at that time. There was a large attendance through out the day. Machine Shops Balldliiff Finished. The machine shops building of the Southern Pacific Railway Company Is finished, and the work of 'moving the machinery on the foundations has been commenced under the charge of Foreman Knapp. In the interior of the big build ing yesterday there was a perfect roar of hammers as" preparations went forward for the time' when.'Jt will be occupied, which will be within "a few weeks. Fore man Knapp was -engaged in fitting up the powerful transfer or turn table. " There are .concrete foundations all over th? south side of the bullying on which many different lothes "and machines will stand: Two 'monster cranes will stand, near the center of the floor which, will have power to lift a locomotive as easily as a single carwhecl and 'swing it around in any di rection desired. Benches, for the work men are being built on, tlfe north side of the structure-and In a short time the building will be thronged wlthbu6 men. This building Is 123x173, and : perfectly lighted by half an acre of skylights and big side windows. Pipes for heating ex tend everywhere and there are radiators along the walls. The machines will be operated by electric power. J. B. Bridges had the contract for the building; Inde pendent of the Iron roof, for 515,000. The roof was put In by the company and is steel and glass. Otto Kleemann has sup erintended the construction from the foundation. The total cost. Including the machinery, which Is very expensive. Is about 560,000. The shops are pronounced a model In their line. No one knows whether the -remainder of the buildings of the general plan will be erected this year or not. Moved to Vancouver. Rev John Fllnn, the weTl-kribwn pioneer Methodist minister and wife have moved to Vancouver, Wash., where they will ma"ke their home hereafter. Mr. Fllnn has moved to Vancouver In accordance with his agreement with his old-time friend, "Grandpa" Ross, who made him sole heir and executor of his property and money amounting, to 525,000. Mr. Ross thinking he could not live long, and de siring to be well cared for has entrusted all his care and business to Mr. Fllnn. There Is but little difference in the ages of Mrl Fllnn and Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross' wealth Is in money and property 515,000 In money and 510,000 In Vancouver prop erty. He has Improved and may live some time. Mr. Fllnn has not deserted his old friends entirely, and comes to Port land to attend ministerial meetings. Enst Side IS'otes.
