11 THE MORNING OREGONIAN,- TUESDAY, MAECH 26, 1901. COMMERCIAL AND Yesterday on Front street -was no ex ception to the regular Monday inactivity. The markets were featureless, except In coffee. Trade conditions on this staple firfk nhnftrmnl Virtwrt? o1 Mio war is a poor criterion whereby to judge mer- I cntlle tendencies. On t rolled oats a rise of 25c per barrel was quoted. California tomatoes are below last week's prices, and are selling from $1 50 to $2 per box. A small amount of very excellent California asparagus, by special consignment, was about the only decoration of the vege table market. It sold at SSc A slight upward tendency of eggs was noticeable in the morning, but the price steadied at the former figures. 1313c. The butter and cheese situation was unchanged. Poultry was weak, and receipts, as -usual on Monday, were small. Potatoes, were steady at 3D55c. and there was a slight advance in sweet potatoes. Oats were stationary at former prices.

The wheat market was steady yesterday In spite of an, increase of over 3.000.000 bushels in the quantity on passage. The bearishness of this feature was partially offset by a small decrease In the Ameri can visible and world's shipments about 1,000.000 bushels less than on the week previous. In the local market an easior feeling in freights is helping matters somewhat, and 57c Is pretty generally quoted for "Walla "Walla, with rumors of some sales made at fractionally higher figures. Bluestem is steady at 59Ci60c, a round lot changing hands Saturday at KJc. There is more wheat offering than at any time since the latter part of Feb ruary, but holders are generally asking figures which exporters are not inclined to pay.

Upward Tendency of Exchange AronHCN Apprehension. NEW YORK. March 25. The closing of today's market was In contrast with the. opening. The first prices of stocks showed the effect of the large buying demand which had been attracted from outside J speculators over Sunday by the favorable bank statement and the resulting upward FINANCIAL NEWS spurt of prices In the Saturday market, but the results of today's operations indi cated pretty clearly the uneaslnees over the money outlook was not entirely qui eted by the Saturday bank statemenr. Professional operators fed the outside demand very freely during the first hour, so that there were no Important advances after the opening, except where some spe cial influence wao at work. When the ac cumulation cf buying orders by commis sion houses l-ati been workcl off this profit-taking Vegair to get the best cf prices and forced a general decline. The effort of the leaders of the speculation during the tet of the day was ta make an imposing j-how of sharp advances in the stocks of minor railroad companies concerning which plausible reports of con solidation with larger systems could be. devised, and of which the capital Issue or the floating supply of stock Is sufficiently narrow to make possible effective manip ulation by speculators of large resources. Reaction Followed. There were so many these gains, and they were so Impressive In extent, as to serve very well the purpose of the bull leaders to cover their profit-taking move ments elsewhere. But the bear operators gained courage as they detected the ex tent of the profit-taking sales, and they made a general attack on the market late In the day. forcing some rather general declines In the grangers. Pacifies and Southwesterns, making the close a very Irregular one. and decidedly weak. There were gains of from 1 to 2 points In a num ber of standard railroad stocks and spe cialties In the first hour, Texas & Pacific and Ontario & Western being heavily bought for London account. AflvnnccK In Vnmlerhllt Stocks. Early weakness developed In the local traction stocks and In Sugar, but It did not Immediately affect the whole market. After the large outside demand had been partially satisfied, some sharp advances were caused among the junior Vanderbllt stocks, running in some cases up to over 5 points. The Wheeling & Lake Erie stocks were quite prominent, as were P., C, C. & St. L., the express companies. General Electric, North American. Amai gamnted Copper, Consolidated Gas and a number of minor specialties. The South ern Railway stocks, St. Paul and Pacifies made a show of strength at one time, and late In the day the Hocking Valley stocks" and the Toledo, St. Louis & Western stocks were moved up, even after the gen eral market had become distinctly weak. In the late drop Denver & Itlo Grande lost 3&. Burlington 3. Wabash preferred 3V. Great Northern preferred 2&, St. Paul over 2 points, and a large number of the active stocks from 1 to 2 points. The stocks which had been made points of resistance retained part of their gains at the close, although they were materially below the best prices. CiinHCN UncasinexH. Uneasiness Is caused by the apparent difficulties ahead of the foreign money markets incident to the requirements for the coming German and British loans. The upward course of exchange aroubes the apprehension that gold may go abroad. The continued drain of the Gov ernment revenue surplus is also regarded with increasing seriousness, and the spec ulative contingent does not maintain to the full its expressed confidence that re demption of Government bonds will cer tainly be resorted to to save the stock market from a money pinch. Today's payment of $25,000,000 on account of the steel syndicate subscription unsettled the loan market to some extent, but there was no notable rise in money rates. The bond market continued active, with reaction in spots. Total sales, $5,640,000. United State refunding 2s. coupon, ad vanced 34, P"er cent on the last .call. BONDS. U. S. 2s, ref. reg.100 IN. Y.

CHICAGO, March 25. The News today says: "George H. Phillips Is once more king of the corn pit, and his reign promises to be a hard one for the ohorts. Under the dictation of the young speculator, corn today sold to 4242c for May delivery, a gain of c over the previous session, and the highest price touched this reason. The demand was sufficient to carry the market up In the face of heavy realiza tions by the longs. A feature qf the pres ent bull movement is that the country la heavily represented on the long side of the market, nnd will profit by the ad vance.

Some dealers were quoting $13 25 per case on Arbuckle's and Lion, while others stayed with the cut-rate figure, $1 less. This Is regarded as a sign of possible restoration of tho list rate among dealers who have been selling at cost prices and at a loss for some time, so it Is alleged. It may be taken, how ever, that the list rate will not be re established Immediately, for one hoUBe declares positively that It Is not aware that any agreement has been reached to restore prices. Up to several months ago wholesale dealers had an understanding whereby they were to maintain list prices. The parties to the agreement either suspected each other "of bad faith and of secret price-cutting, or they severally thought they were not getting their share of bust, ness. Finally it was decided among them formally to cast off their agreement, and each has been doing business since on his own hook at cut rates. Arbuckle and Lion brands dropped to losing figures. It Is said, but Columbia Roast, a local staple, stayed with Its old price. Whatever Is the significance of the movement In the market yesterday. It looks plausible that at least several deal ers are tired of the competition and want to restore the former harmony of prices. And It Is but natural that those who arc not taking the initiative In the movement should hold off until the project shall be sure of consummation. SAN FRANXISCO 3IARKETS.

(To the EdltoY.) If the parallel passages printed In The Oregonlan of the 19th .inst. are fair and representative selections from the oration of Elwood V, Mlnchln, deliv ered In the recent contest, and Carlos Martyn's "Wendell Phillips, he Agitator," the charge of plagiarism brought against Mr. Mlnchln would seem to have little foundation." If he dld.'ln a few instances, borrow the exact words of Martyn, yet he did not do so in any stupid or clumsy manner, nor because he lacked wit to con struct sentences of his own. It appears, indeed', that Mr. Mlnchln has nothing to learn from Martyn, so far as style is con cerned. Is It plagiarism for one to furnish the warp of a literary fabric, and take the woof largely from others? Montaigne said that some one might say of him that he had only made a nosegay of culled flowers, and had brought nothing of his own but the thread that ties them. This is not the vulgar kidnaping of the literary child of another and palming it off as one's own. Even a Shakespeare who would write a "Julius- Caesar" must have his "Plutarch" at band. Indeed, did not the Immortal bard himself draw freely from the older dramatists? Webster's reply to Hayne begins thus: "When the mariner has been tossed for many days In thick weather, and on an unknown sea, he naturally avails himself of the first pause in the storm, the earliest glance of the sun, to take his latitude and ascertain how far the elements have driven him from his course.

O.Uos 2070, Baa Francisco, Cl Chamber of Commerce tate this prudence, and, before we float farther on the waves or this debate, re fer to the point from which we departed, that we may at least be able to conjecture where we now arc." Lincoln's great Sprlngfleld speech op'ens with these words: "If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could "better judge what to do, and how to do it." Again. In Webster's reply to Hayne, while demonstrating that the National Constitution is not the creature of the state governments, but of the people of all the states, he says: "It Is, sir, the people's Constitution, the people's gov ernment, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people." When some of the state governments had undertaken to maintain by the sword principles which Webster had shown to be false, how natural for Lincoln, at Get tysburg, deeply Impressed with the true character of the government he repre sented, to recur, consciously or uncon sciously, to the thoughts and almost the language of Webster, and recommend to those before him "that we here hlghly rcsolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." What patience would be shown to one who would call these things plagiarism? B. L. EDDY. Xot "Sparrow Grniw." PORTLAND, March 25. (To the Editor.) To settle a controversy, will you please give the correct meaning and origin of asparagus. P contends that it derived the name from "sparrow grass." and that it originally grew around Whlte chapel, London, England, and as the sparrows lived chiefly on this vegetable or grass, the name asparagus wa6 given to It. A READER. Asparagus, the name of a well-known garden product, was derived from a Greek word meaning to swell with Juice or eap. Sparrow grass Is a corruption of the word.
