THE MORNING OREGON I AN FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1901. 11 COMMERCIAL AND A general advance in packing-house J quotations was anounced yesterday, J- nc price ot hams rose uniformly c. of ba con c, of lard "ftc, and of other products In proportion. The new schedule was dictated by the Eastern trade and Is con sidered eteady. The coffee situation shows no change. A rise doubtleaj will occur soon and buy ers are stocking up. All dealers are willing to enter into an agreement to advance to list, but they first want to In sure good faith. For this reason the compact Is not made up Immediately. Commlsbion men are giving close atten tion to the egg market and studying the effect of the northern demand. Willam ette Valley receipts are large, but quo tations from Washington. Idaho and Mon tana keep the market strong. Alaska demands also have a stimulating effect, eo that the present strength may be more than temporary- Fourteen cents is the quotation. Butter is weak, ow ing to pressure of large California and "home supply, and has a downward ten dency. A fall in California would influ ence the local market. Oregon cheest. Is in Strong demand, and California is In large supply. Poultry Is steady, de mand is light and receipts are sufficient to balance the market. Asparagus Is cheaper and excellent supply is In. Parsnips are scarce and in small demand. Beets are still up. with no Immediate prospect of decline. There Is abundance of cabbage, but It falls short of the best quality because of long transportation, a small consignment of California peas was the most attractive vegetable in the market yesterday. To matoes arc firm. Old potatoes are weak but steady. New product has small con sumption at 2c. Bananas were well cleaned up yesterday, but will be In good Bupply this week. Pineapples are scarce.

The local wheat market Is eteady in sympathy with Eastern and foreign mar Jcetfl. Thers is a fair amount of business doing for so late in the season, but it re quires full prices to move much of the cereal still remaining in the country. The bulk of the sales yesterday were at 37 cento, but It Is reported that fractionally higher prices were paid in the Interior. The milling demand Is light on acount of lieavy flour stocks in the Orient and no demand for flour except locally. Freights have steadied up again and 37s Cd Was paid for an April May ship yesterday.

The stock mar ket continued highly professional today and distinctly two-sided. The outside speculative public Is still on the side of the bulls, and that element of the specu lation continued to have the situation well in control. Any new point of strength which they developed was pretty well assured of a response by followings of small speculators, who kept the current market going. The selling to take profits continued very large, and was so skillfully man aged as to do little damage to prices, but there was a bear element among the traders, and they made occasional dem onstrations in the market when the bur den of the realizing seemed in a way to overcome the advance. The bear element, however, attracted little outside following, and their operations were not conducted with great confidence. The most promi nent position in the trading was still herd by Northern Pacific and Burlington, and the constantly recurring strength of these stocks made an effective support for tho whole market. In the same degree the many reactions on profit-taking affected the speculative tone. Burlington opened under pressure, and after having advanced to a record price at 171, closed with a net gain of only . Northern Pacific also made a new high record price at 954, and closed with a net gain of 1. There were renewed re ports today of a plan to retire Northern Pacific preferred, and the report still per sisted of an agreement of a consolidation of Northern Pncific and Burlington. Steel IntereKtw. The course of the steel stocks upon the United States Steel Corporation stocks entry into the unlisted department of the exchange were a strengthening In fluence. Although there was a large sell ing to realize in these stocks, ample sup port was forthcoming, and the common was run up 2 points over yesterday's price on the curb, and preferred rather more than that. The stocks of constituent com panies were strong, in sympathy with the common and preferred stocks, all ris ing from 2 to 2. There were other points of special strength, such as Western Union. Manhattan, the Wheeling &, Lake Erie stocks showing gains of from 2 to 3, and Lackawanna, which mounted 9 points to far above the highest preceding price. Outside of these individual ' stocks there were few that rose at any time as much as a point over last night, and many of the recently prominent stocks were con stantly held back by the pressure of real izing. Rubler Stocks Decline. The rubber stocks reacted widely from yesterday's advance, the common losing 2m and the preferred 4U- In the last half hour of the market, on tho decision of the New Jersey Court, of Appeals in favor of the plaintiffs in the suit to enjoin the ab sorption of the Guggenheim Interests, the smelting socks broke violently, the com mon falling to G and the preferred to 5 below last night's level. This helped to unsettle the close, which was also af fected by the large profit-taking sales. Discussions of the money market outlook continued, in view of the coming quarter ly settlement and the uninterrupted drain by the Subtreasury. Sterling exchange also recovered today, renewing the ap prehension of sold exports. - - ' Business in bonds continues large, and new points of strength develop from time to time.

Here the market steadied and began that steady appreciation which cul minated in a new high record .price for May delivery,, doing It In the face of strenuous efforts of certain bear houecs to hold it. The bull leader was only a mod erate buyer, but outside buying and the covering by scalpers raised May to 43c. The clote was strong, c over -yesterday at 42c Wheat was dull, narrow and uninterest ing. Much of the time business waa at a standstill while traders turned a wist ful eye on the superior animation' of corn. It was the strength of this market which saved wheat from succumbing to the prevalent bearish news. Even re ports of fly damages were received with apathy. Heavy receipts and the weak ness of the export situation, the mild, clear weather and the optimism of the Price Current reports combined to create bearish sentiment- May-opened .a shade to He lower, at 75i4.to,75'375T4. and de- the market rallied In sympathywlth corn, closing unchanged at 75ji3;76c.

Week Ilait Drought Farther Ad- vonces In Iron. CLEVELAND, March 2S. Commenting on market conditions the Iron Trade Re view this week says; The iron market Is broadening and the week has brought further advances. The buying of pig-iron for delivery after the middle of the year is the featuro in that market, and thero are accumulating signs that the trade has confidence In the sta bility of values as they stand today. That a leading interest has pushed Its purchases of basic iron farther forward in the year eo that they now cover outside require ments for most of 1901 is one significant item. The current of demand In all lines, conspicuously that directly reflecting rail road and agricultural prosperity, Is deep er and stronger, and structural operations now promise to exceed the good Indica tions of the past three months. But with all the strength shown In every quarter except the East which still lags, though perhaps the halting attitude Is not eo pronounced there Is no mention of 1899 without the accompanying opinion that the mistakes of that year will not be repeated. A conservative spirit pervades the trade and the impending change In the great steel Industries of the Central West is expected to add to rather than detract from the steadylnglnfluence which has been exerted by some of the constit uent consolidations. Steel-making Irons have been in demand again. The sales of Bessemer amounted to about 35.CO0 tons in the Pittsburg mar ket at 516 50 valley furnace. Some of the steel companies that sold Iron In the Fall are now buying at a very considerable ad vance over their selling price. Basic and forge iron have also been bought for the Pittsburg district at advancing prices, tho latter for pipe works. As in every other time of special precure upon steel works, the consumption of iron pipe is Increasing, and this has come to be a fairly reliable index to an unusual' scarcity of steel. From the leading markets for foundry iron there are reports of continued strength and more than average activity, all the demand. It would eeem, being for actual consumption and for the most part to cover business actually booked. Buyers have not reached the point at which they feel called upon to contract heavily to save themselves from advances of the near or farther future. EASTEN LIVESTOCK. CHICAGO. March 2S.

GRESHAM, Or.. March 28. Further ef forts are to be made to Improve the mall service throughout this section, the Post ofllce Department taking an active Inter est In the matter. A few weeks ago" a request was sent the Postmasters whose offices are supplied by the Portland-Sahdy stage for the best plan by which the pub lic could be served under tho next con tract, which will bo let In. September. A conference among tho Postmasters re sulted in a plan which has been forwarded to the department and will probably be used as a basis for the next contract. It recommends, In substance, that the malls should come from Portland to Montavllla on the electric cars as early as possible; thence to be forwarded by stage to the varicas offices now being served by the star route. It is thought that tho mall would reach Gresham by 9 A. M. If sent in that way, instead of getting there from 2Vi to 3 hours later as at present. Quick transit from the Villa will be Insisted upon, and all the postofflces would be benefited thereby, whether tho people are served by rural-delivery carriers or not. The recommendation also Includes a dailv mall to Sweetbrlar. Gage and Hurl- burt, instead of every other day. as it Is now carried. Although the contract Is to be let in September next. It will not go into effect until July 1, 1902, and be fore that time arrives there may be a car lino out here, which will change all the planB and give the public better mall serv ice than that outlined in tho recommenda tions of the Postmasters. Fixing: Doundnrlca. David Cathey Is circulating va petition addressed to the County School Superin tendent asking for a change in the bound aries of Gresham school district. Since the district was first laid out there haVe been many transfers of property, which are now lying partially In Gresham dis trict and the others surrounding it. The object of the petition Is to bring some of the pieces of land Into the district en tirely, while other places will be given the other districts. The disposal of these will depend something on the wishes of their owners and ,the quantity of land which lies the most 'in either district. The petition meets with much favor, many people who live Just over the line tak ing occasion to get into Gresham district, which has such an excellent school, far superior to any other In the neighboring districts. Brief Note. Allen Shattuck Is here from Juneau. AlaBka, where he Is In the hardware busi ness. He will return to that place In a few days. A S.

It Is under stood that S Stafford will try to securo the appointment for the short time rural free delivery will let the office exist.

PORTLAND, March 26. (To the Edt tor.) I have Just returned from Puget Sound, and wish to give you an account of that country, and especially Seattle. So far as Seattle Is concerned, the town is not what it Is cracked up to be. by any means. The lower portion of the business part is In a filthy condition, and the streets don't look as If the xilace were flourishing. There are thousands of hard-up-looking fellows on the streets, and between 3000 and 4000 around the wharves. There Is not a good Improved street on the hill. In the residence portion, and there are horse3. with small loads, stuck In the mud everywhere. The retail stores are not packed with customers. There aro very few business blocks go ing up, and the new houses would do credit to a mining town, but not to a large, established city. The houses have no brick foundations, and the latter arc Just shoveled together. I am sure that the new houses put up In Portland cost a great deal more money than those erected In Seattle. I ex pected to see wonders in Seattle, but half of the bustle and business on the streets Is a kind of fake-game. Portland need not be afraid of Seattle. It he would only start a smelter, Portland could have thousands of tralnlonds of oro from the Coeur d'Alene mines, and she ought to have lead works at the same time. When I saw the great manufactures and new Industries in the Tacoma mud flats, I thought that Seattle would not be "In It" In Ave years. Even the little town of Olympla is getting to be quite a place. Trninload after tralnload of logs are dumped Into the bay at Olympla. for miles around, morning- after morning. Whistles of saw mills and shingle mills are blowing all over the bay a condition which few people dreamed of three years ago. There Is no doubt that Portland will be always the second city on the Pacific L.oast. .one or your goat-growing towns for me, with gulches and hills. Portland is good enough for me. WILLLIAM REIDT.
