THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1901. 11 COMMERCIAL AND The tona of the market -wis nominal 1 yesterday, and but few changes were noted. The tendency of eggs was up- ward, owing to the prospective Easter de mand. Some lots brought 14c, although 13c seemed to prvail. Supplies were received from the Valley, but a good demand steadied the price of the market. Butter was weak, owing to liberal re ceipts of domestic and California prod uct. Demand was lght. There -was no movement In poultry. Vegetables were well cleaned up In an ticipation qt ihe-arrival of the California steamer. Very good hot-house lettuce from LaCamas sold for $1 75 per case. A supply of home jiarrots and parsnips was on hand. Good cabbage was scarce, and sold for JlMOgl 50. 'The best grade will not be ready until the Oregon product shall come along, owing to the difficulty of getting it fresh from the south. Farm ers are generally busy at home, but the usual number was seliing potatoes. Ow ing" to. high prices last year, they have a large supply on hand. Prices were steady, although new product tends to force them do-rn. A supply of California will be in market today and may lower the quo tation slightly. Apples were scarce and firm. A choice consignment! from Hood River sold for $2. Bananas are strong. New supply may not Arrive until next week, and prices have risen.

The local wheat market was steady yes terday, with a fair amount of business doing. Since "the price got up to a fig ure where 45 cents could be paid around "Umatilla and "Walla Walla Counties, there has been a. freer selling movement, and more disposition to clean up the bins without waiting for any further im prpyement. The European and Eastern markets were fractionally lower, but an easier feeling in freights on the Pacific Coast Is helping prices somewhat, or at least preventing a decline. Quotations, as usual, cover quite a wide range. Some buyers said they were securing wheat at 504 cents. Others admitted that they were paying 57 cents, and there were the usual rumors of higher prices being paid for milling stock. Wheat Walla Walla, 57c; Valley nomi nal; bluestem, 39c per bushel.

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Upivurd Movement Caused by Xortli Trcstern Railroad Deal. NEW YORK, March 26. The recurrence of the story of a Northwestern railroad deal, coupling' Northern Pacific and Burl ington, was the occasion Of an extraor dinary and impressive upward movement in the late stock market today. What ever may be the validity of the oft-renewed claims of a transcontinental ar rangement for the benefit of Northern Pacific and Great Northern, it was clear enough that the recovery In the general market was due to the precipitate cover ing of short contracts which were put out with great freedom and boldness bj practically all the trading element on the exchange. The attack on the market by the bear element had met with inviting success, and they had broken prices throughout practically the whole market. There wa3 some show of strength In the early deal ings, and an apparent attempt to renew the bull movement, but it soon became evident that the. attempt to advance prices was no 'longer in such powerful and capable hands as has been the case during much of the recent bull specula tion. ' When the bears found their attack no longer contested they offered prices down very boldly and made Inroads' of between 1 and '2 points in practically all the active stocks in the list. The grangers and Southwesterns proved themselves espe cially vulnerable. In vlexr of the large commitments for the lpng account, which has recently been made In them. North ern Pacific itself was forced down nearly a point, but Burlington was held above last night's level throughout. Missouri Pacific, after being lifted to 102. fell back to 100. The local traction stocks were notably weak, declining- from 2 to 2' points, and there were especially-notable declines In the Industrial list. To bacco fallmg at one time 3. Amalga mated Copper 2 and Sugar 2 polnt. Some of the usually quiet stocks which have enjoyed recent extraordinary ad vances fell back sharply. The steel stocks shared in the general weakness, and many of them dropped from 1 to 2 points under last night. It was after nearly the whole session had been consumed In this procession of ex tension of short accounts that the North ern Pacific movement developed The bears were completely routed, and found the supply of stocks very small, blddlnsr up prices on themselves by rapid strides. There was an almost complete recovery in the general list, antl Northern Pacific surged upwards 54 points to 91. a rec ord price. The rise in Burlinsrton reached 4. It was the current belief In Wall street that a reaction was favored by the capitalists who are heavily commit ted to the pending great syndicate trans actions, owing to the apprehension that the demands of the animated' speculation upon the money market threatened to exhaust the surplus supplies. The steady upward course of sterling exchange gave good ground for. the ex- pectatlon that gold might go out at an early period. In fact, the report was current that actual arrangements had been made for shipments on Saturday's steamer, but It is probable that sterling exchange will have to rise an additional fraction before exports of gold will be profitable.

At the opening the corn market seemed scarcely equal "to the pressure from longs who wished to securo profits. Influences In this condi tion were easier cables and better weath er in the West. May opened c to c lower, at 42c 'to 42i?i42c, and declined during the first hour to 4?c. Offerings at this decline became lighter, and for a time the market ruled dull and feature less, excepting moderate purchases by Phillips, who was reported to be In a po sition to control the market. The sell ing was general, but In small lots. Small primary reeelpts and the continued buy ing by Phillips later started shorts to bidding, and as longs suddenly evinced a disposition to hold tight, or had sold out, the market recovered sharply to 42c, the highest price obtained this season for May delivery. This bulge met renewefl pressure from longs, and the market again sagged. May closing easy, c under yesterday, at 421?42c. The market for wheat was Very dull and the trade of a scalping character, which offered nothing of Interest. Sentl ment was still bearish, but the Impulse to sell was bridled by fear of a bull corn market. May opened unchanged to c lowr. at 7507tc,'nnd dropped earls to 75c Business for a time was at a stand still, but later, in sympathv with the corn strength, shorts covered, and sent May up to 75c 'Following this and also In sympathy- with corn the market eaed, and May closed Gc lower, at 754?75c.

Woman's Home .Companion. . Among historic diamonds the largest and best known is "the Grand Mogul," a stone weighing 2S0 carats, in the posses sion of the Shah of Persia. Next comes the "brloff." named for Count Orloff, who bought It in 1772 for the Empress Cath erine of Russia. The stone is rose-cut, shaped like a plgeon"s egg and weighs 1S5- carats. The third Is the MRegent," or "Pitt" diamond, which is one of the French crown jewels. The Duke of Or leans, acting as regent for Louis XV, bought it for him. paying 5650.000. The "Florentine."" or "Austrian," is the fourth in size., It belonged to Charles the Bold, of Burgundy, and was lost by him at the battle of Granson, in 147G. A Swiss peasant found' it and sold it for half' a crown.' It finally came into the hands of Pope JuHbs II, who presented It to tho Emperor of Austria. The fifth In size, called the "Star of the South," Is a Bra zilian st6ne. The EngUsh "Krohlnoor," while rank ing sixth in size, is counted the most val uable In the world. It was found In the mines of Golconda ages ago, and, after being successively in the possession of many Indian Princes passed to Queen Vic toria. These are the six most famous dia monds. A stone recently discovered in Africa can claim to be the largest In the world. It weighed, uncut, 475 carats. BEET SUGAR IN ILLINOIS. Farmers Find. It Is Much Eaiiler to Raise Cora and Pork. Peoria Star. One of the greatest beet-sugar plants in country Is about to be constructed . at Shelby, Ind. It takes 51,000.000 to put, it in operation. The trouble with the best beet sugar plants is one, of labor. The Illinois farmer can make a living too easily rais ing corn and pork, and he will not get down on his hands and knees and weed all day long and go through the back aching toll that la necessary to ratee beets. He can do It, but he won't. The experiments that have been successful have been carried out by Russians, im ported where they have been colonized from their native land, but with each suc ceeding year It haa been found necessary to bring on a ne.w lot. The old ones would save money enough to buy- ground of their own, and they, too, find it easier to raise v corn and hogs than beets. The problem seems to be, 'not to get Improved processes for extracting sugar, but to de vise labor for cultivating the beet. The "man with the hoe" has discovered -that what he wants Is a riding plow. He Is not going to break his back over 'the clods when he can mount a spring seat and whistle while he rides.
