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.

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain, Floor. Etc.
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.

SEW YORK STPCK MARKET.
Northern Pacific anil Hurllnffton
Agrnln "Were Prominent.
NEW YORK. March 2$. 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. Total sales, Jo.GOo.WO. united
States' old 4s, registered, advanced per

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, March 2S. Corn opened with
sentiment only a shade earfer, although
the rather bearish semblance of news
might have excused greater weakness,
laie weather to begin with, was Im
proved, receipts -were liberal and con
tinued a largely Increased proportion of
contract corn, while cables were Indiffer
ent. Notwithstanding these considera
tions the market opened unchanged at
42;c and In a few minutes touched UW&
41c. Trade was light and May dropped
to 42?8C. 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.
Oats were in excellent demand for ship
ment, but for futures business was slug
gish. May closed a shade higher at 23VsC.
Provisions were dull and easier. Selling
by packers and local operators forced
prices down In the afternoon. May pork

Chicago Grain Gossip.

Wheat opened a shade higher. There

freely at the close yeeterday. The
weather map shows about normal tem
peratures for tho time of year. Price
current rather bearish. A prominent lo

lowest prices of the day and the wheat
was taken by commission men. The mar
ket is a waiting one and In our opinion
somo damage to the growing crop must

Improvement la expected. The temper

MARKET BROADENS.
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.

Efforts to Improve Mail Scrvice-"-Cliangrlnt?
Boundaries.
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.

ONE OPINION OF SEATTLE.
Portlander "Who Seen Jfo Cause to
Fear Rivalry.
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.
