    THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1901.

r
COMMERCIAL AND
The weather for the past week has been
sufficiently Springlike to admit of consid
erable plowing and other work on the
farm, and this has checked trading at
Interior points, but has- not apparently
hampered the movement of staples to the
Interior merchants. As usual at this sea
son of the year, there Is a weakening in
dairy products, and eggs are down almost
to the lowest figure reached last season.
There has also been a pronounced weak
ness In onions and potatoes during the
week. In the case of onions, this was
due to forcing the price up too high on
short notice, thereby curtailing the de
mand and bringing out large offerings.
Potatoes are weak under heavy receipts.
"Wheat, after a protracted spell of .dull
ness, yesterday showed signs of return
ing life, and the prices Improved In near
ly all markets. The wool situation re
mains unchanged, holders refusing to do
business at prices now obtainable. Some
business is reported in new-crop hop con
tracting. ' but an easier feeling in the
Eastern markets has had the effect of
checking this business, growers declin
ing to accept rates offered and dealers
not Inclined to advance the figures. Veal
Is weaker and pork is holding very steady.
Poultry is firm and chickens are selling
up around the best prices of the season.
A decline Of 20c on sugar was the most
interesting feature in the grocery market
during the week.
"WHEAT Seven ships, carrying over S00.
000 bushels of wheat, have finished load
ing this month, and there are 10 more in
the river, all of them under charter to
load wheat. Ordinarily this would indi
cate a free movement of wheat, but un
fortunately all of the business is on old
account, the cargoes having been bought
and sold long ago. There is very little
wheat coming out at present prices, and
"what little there Is commands more than
export values for milling purposes. Quo
tations are.nominal at 56c for "Walla "Walla
and 58c for bluestem, but from c to lc
more is paid for choice stock for mill
ing. Freights are easier, but are being
hammered down with difficulty, and every
owner who is dissatisfied with the offers
made for wheat loading seems to have
no difficulty in securing lumber charters
at full rates. Statements of the amount
of wheat on hand in the interior and
at tide water on March 1 confirm pre
vious estimates of about 36,000.000 bushels
for the crop of 1200 in Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho. These figures are mak
ing it somewhat difficult for certain au
thorities to dispose of several million
bushels which they accumulated "when
the frost was on the pumpkin and the
fodder In the shock." One of these au
thorities, with a shocking display of
grammatical construction, discredits the
crop figures presented by The Oregonian,
and ''sees no reason" why he should re
duce his figures to the limits warranted
by the facts in the case. There is no rea
son why those figures should be changed.
By the farmer's "combination clock,"
when the hands stood at C and 4, and the
beU struck 8. he knew it was 20 minutes
past 9. So with this expert's figures.
"When they were placed at 41,000,000 .bush
els, the trade understands the crop to be
about 35.000,000 to 36,000,000 bushels. This,
of course, leaves a surplus of 5,000,000 to
6.000,000 bushels to get out of the way be
fore another crop comes around. Some
years this Is fed to the hogs. Last year
the chickens ate the most of it with
out distending their craws. This year the
people will sit up nights and eat some
of it, and what is left will be blown away
as chaff by a liberal supply of wind that
Is always on tap. Enough wheat remains
on hand to fill all tonnage engagements,
and still leave a carry-over of fair pro
portions, but the foreign shipowners, who
hold up freights on the statement that
the three states produced 41,000,000 bush
els of wheat last year, will in time discov
er that they have made a serious mistake.
OATS AND BARLEY Receipts of oats
are of very moderate proportions, and
prices are firming up again. Best white
are In demand at 44c, and gray and mixed
at 42643c per bushel. Barley, which is tak
ing the place of oats to a ctrtain extent
for feed, is firm and higher, feed selling up
to $17 per ton, with any good stock com
manding ?1C 50 per ton. Brewing is in
poor demand, and is not commanding any
differential over feed at the present time.
WOOL AND MOHAIR The outlook for
mohair Is anything but bright, and from
present appearances the 1901 clip will sell
at much lower prices than were realized
last year. In wool conditions remain
practically unchanged In the local market,
and but little of the big carry-over stock
will be moved until the new clip and new
season prices are available. The East is
not showing much activity, but there
seems to be more of a belief that the bot
tom has been readied. The New York
Journal of Commerce, under date or
March 9, has the following:
The market for wool Is somewhat easier,
and yet ' quotations cannot be said to be
any lower. Raports of sales at reduced
prioes are current, but It is believed that
wherever those are made there Is som
special reason for It. There have been
sales, during the week which have been
rendered necessary by a desire for ready
money. These forced or distress sales,
however, should not be taken as a cri
terion of current conditions. Buyers have
been educated to believe that each week
a lower level of prices would be estab
lished, and this week lower offers were
made tljan It was. possible to obtain last
week, but where the wool was absolutely
needed It is probable that the prices paid
were equal to those current for the
last two weeks.
There is one factor, however, which
leads dealers to believe that the bottom
has been touched, or that there will be
little downward movement from now on
This is that outsiders-those who are not
members of the trade are beginning to
take an active interest In the market.
"When the wool market begins to be re
garded as a good field for speculators.
It must be because wools are as cheap
as conditions will warrant, and that there
Is little likelihood of radical reductipn.
Then, again, a good deal of wool that
has been sold during the last two or three
weeks has been by dealers who are be
coming convinced that the raw material
is good property.
BUTTER The market is holding fairly
steady, in spite of the presence of con
siderable California stock, which is sell
ing at much lpwer prices than can be
secured for Oregon creamery. The lat
ter is In demand at 22&25c per pound,
with dairy selling around 17200, more
of It going at .the former than at the
higher figure. Store butter Is weak on
account of- a plentiful supply, and only
moderate demand, the California article
taking the place of the Oregon product to
a certain extent.
EGGS There is a little more flnrness in
the egg market, and yesterday but few
were offering at Jess than 12c. Monday
and Tuesday some round lots were sold
as low as llgllc, but a brisk demand
from the north put up the price a frac
tion, and it will probably hang steady
around that figure for a few days. Re
ceipts are heavy, and the San Francisco
FINANCIAL NEWS
market is unusually low, with no out'
let for the surplus.
POULTRY ChickenB of jrood size and
In good condition are selling at the best
prices of the season, as high as ?0 being
paid yesterday for some choice stock.
Springs are also in good demand, and
even the "peepers" command ?5 per
dozen. Live -turkeys are mostly in poor
condition, and accordingly do pot sell
welL Some well-conditioned dressed tur
keys sold yesterday at 14614&c, and poor
stock at 12c per pound. Geese and ducks
are steady at quotations.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Denlln?rs Covered a Wide Rnncc of
Secnrltle.
NEW YORK, March 13. The dealings
in today's stock market covered an ex
traordinary range of securities. Quota
tions were made for some stocks which
have lain dormant for many days, and a
number ot usually very quiet etocks were
made active. Stocks of some small rail
roads, which are usually obscure by roa
son of the small amount of their capital
stock, were made comparatively conspic
uous In today's market. Operations were
constantly shifting from one stock to an
other, or -from one group to another, no
one stock maintaining Its prominence
during the whole day. It was a notice
able fact also that many of the stand
ard stocks which are usually looked to
for the bulk of the trading were compar
atively quiescent, and moved very nar
rowly. Some of this class were moved
late In the day, apparently through ma
nipulation, aa though the professional op
erators were prompted to correct the
appearance of singularity in the market,
due to the special character of the trad
ing. Nevertheless, the day's operations made
quite an important aggregate,, and the
general appearance of the market, not
withstanding Its peculiar features and
the difficulty of analyzing It, was one of
activity and strength. There was a ten
dency to yield the highest prices, as In
terest was shifted to new points. Exten
sive realizing was going on In the gen
eral list under cover of the strength In
spots, and in the laet hour an active sell
ing movement to take profits caused a
general reaction, reaching a point or
more in some of the active stocks. The
closing Itself was rather easy and much
below the best, all around.
Among the day's special movements,
the Southwestern stocks were prominent,
led by St. Louis Southwestern, the com
mon rising 4 and the preferred 4V4. The
Lake Erie & Western stocks were very
'strong, the common rising 4; and the pre
ferred 4. It Is believed that the move
ment Indicates new conditions for that
system. Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg
preferred, and Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Northern rose 4 points each. The ex
press stocks were strong, American Ex
press rising 4, Wells-Fargo 2?i and United
States 3, with a reaction of 1.
Tho smelting stocks were weak
throughout, the common falling 3 and
the preferred l. Many of these move
ments were without any explanation, and
others were based on vague rumors for
which no official sanction could be had.
The movement In the Southwestern group
was the most consistent of the day. and
was based on the evidence of substantial
prosperity among the railroads In that
region, and the general belief that plans
for extensive consolidation are working
out.
The money market continued unruf
fled In spite of the absorption by the
Subtreasury thus far this week of $2,167,
000. and the knowledge that $20,000,000
must be provided for the disbursement
of the Standard Oil dividend on Friday.
Business In railroad bonds continued
large, and many substantial advances
were scored. Total sales, $7,3S0,000. United
States 3s advanced .

CHICAGO, March 11 The provisions
market assumed the leadership of the
markets at the start, displaying marked
activity at the tap of the gong. By its
bulge today May pork shows a rise of
$1 50 since 10 days ago. The opening ad
vance was based o'n light hog receipts
and higher prices In the market at the
yards. A heavy general demand existed
throughout the day. Straggling shorts
who had hoped against hope for a reac
tion covered at a loss, with the result
that, the market having made its ad
vance during the forenoon, held at Its
best during the remainder of the session.
Tho market was at times extremely ner
vous under a scarcity of offerings, and
such sales as were made came from
profit-taking longs. Hog receipts have
beon on a diminishing scale for 10 days,
and prices at the yards are above the
parity of the manufactured product, mak
ing it more profitable to buy in the pit
for future delivery than to buy and kill
and pack the hogs. May pork opened at
$14 9715 02. and advanced to $15 52,
closing at that figure, 62c over yester
day. May lard closed 12c up and ribs
15Tl7c Improved.
Wheat was dull but firm. May. opened
c higher to unchanged, at 75Q'75c. Un
der the Influence of firm late cables, mod
crate receipts, unsettled weather, heavy
seaboard clearances and In sympathy
with the provisions strength, an advance
to 75c followed. The demand was most
ly local, and not large, but offerings were
scarce. For half an hour the market re
mained at a standstill on this advance,
there not being a single quotation. The
close was firm, May c up at 75
75c.
Corn was quiet but Arm under the in
fluence of unfavorable weather and In
sympathy with the provisions strength.
May closed c higher at 41041c.
' Oats were dull but firm In sympathy
with corn. May closed c higher at 25

ChJcnRo Grain Gossip.
F. G. Logan, Chicago, wires as follows
to R. W. McKlnnon & Co.:
"The market has averaged stronger,
partly on account of a gradual Improve
ment In conditions, and also buying back
of wheat that waB sold by local parties.
No cash business has been worked here
so far" as we have been able to learn, but
private cables report a better tone to
market abroad. The market here 1 in
the nature of 'a tempest in a teapot,"
business being almost entirely local. Pri
mary receipts, 597,000 bushels, against
704,000 busnels last year. Shipments, 260.
000 bushels, against 173,000 last year. To
tal clearances wheat and flour, 733,000
bushels. Clearances keep up phenomenal
ly, considering the apparent lack of de
mand that has been In evidence for the
past few w-eks. Northwestern receipts,
227 cars, against 652 last year.''

Boston Wool Mnrket.
BOSTON, March 13. The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to
morrow: There Is a steadier tone to the wool
market and on the whole a more careful
feeling Is apparent than has been mani
fested for some time. A large volume
of business has been transacted and It
has been without making any further con
cessions In prices. The pressure to sell
wool Is decidedly less marked than It was,
and some holders have refused to let
wools go on a difference of only one-half
cent between their views and those of the
intending buyers. Reports from manufac
turers as to the business which they are
doing indicate that orders on large
weights have been surprisingly large.
The sales since January 1 amounted
to 40,859.830 pounds against 34.4SO.000 pounds
for the corresponding time last year.
The Metal Markets.
NEW YORK, March 13. Prices at the
start in the metal market were considera
bly higher and remained so all day, the
chief factor being the advance In tin or
about 20 to 40 points. Total transac
tions were of moderate proportions, but
the market was not active at any time.
Copper was dull at $17 for Lake and
$16 62 for casting. The shipments of
copper during thlB month are only 3000
tons against March shipments of last year
of 18,650 tons. Lead was dull and un
changed. Spelter was unchanged at $3 90
03 95.
Pig Iron warrants, unchanged.

' London Wool Auction.
LONDON. March 13. The offerings at
the wool auction sales today numbered
13,567 bales. A much better feeling pre
vailed and competition was spirited. Best
scoured realized full rates and greasy was
firm and sold freely at unchanged prices.
There was an Important demand for the
Continent and buyers secured good lines
of scoured merinos. Cross breds were
taken freely, flne grades, selling at full
rates. Inferior cross breds were Irreg
ular. A smaller supply of Cape of Good
Hope and Natal was offered and It sold
fairly well, but there were withdrawals,
as bids were &! below sellers' views.
