THE MORNING. OBEOONTAN FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1901'. 11 eoiHRciAL and The salt trust has announced another advance of 50 cents per ton on coarse and of S2 per ton on fine grades. This change is in line with the policy of grad ual rise which has been pursued for sev eral months. Salt which once was be tween $3 and $12 per ton is now between $11 and $20 per ton. Tealers have no means of knowing whether the new fig ures are permanent or subject to further ttdvancc Eggs were uneasy yesterday at quota tions. A few small, lots went at 13 cents, out such sales seemed to be merely for the purpose of fueling the situation, for no large amounts were offered at that price. Some dealers attempted an ad vance to 15 cents, but later announced a firmness at 14 cents. It was suspected that the former .figure was a manipula tion to secure stability at 14 cents, which there -was solicitude to maintain. But, despite brave reporjts, eggs were decid edly weak, with the majority of sales at 13 -cents. Dealers look for Bteadtness until Easter, and lor decline next week. Eecolpts continue large and out of pro- portion to demand. Prices are a little high to encourage storing, but some mer chants may prefer to keep their large supplies rather than to suffer a drop. Other dealers are waiting for lower prices before storing. It Is evident that the present overstocked market must be relieved soon, either by Increased orders at existing figures -or by decline. Butter was sluggish and weak. Cali fornia supply is still large, and Oregon is Increasing. Although the mutual pres sure is considerable, decline tills week Is not looked for. Oregon cheese is still limited and In eager demand. California Is sufficient for orders. Poultry was firm yesterday. The small receipts moved oft without delay. California produce is well cleaned up, and the steamer due tonight will replen ish an empty market. Domestic vegeta bles are increasing, which will have the gradual effect of lessening shipments from the South. A small lot of strawberries- was -on hand" yesterday. Potatoes have livened up a little lately, owing to a better outlook in California, and per haps also to the fact that few farmers "have come in this week with supplies. Prices on all kinds are firm. A carload of bananas is due today, and also a large .supply of oranges. Bank Clearances. Exchanges. Balances.

Grain, Flour, Etc The wheat market was still moving downward yesterday, but it had lost some ot the velocity that characterized the clump of the day previous, and the net loss in the East was only about a quar ter of a cent. In the local market, there was a continuation of the stagnation which has been a feature of the situation since the decline began. Walla Walla was nominal at 57 cents, but there was nothing selling. The only news in the freight market was the charter of the steamship Monmouthshire at a rate which was withheld, but generally believed to be about 39 shillings, as she was offering the day previous at 40 shillings. The. milling demand for wheat is not very brisk, on account of the dullness in the lOriental flour trade.

April 4.-Today was one of violent excitement and extreme nerv ous tension" in the stock market. Prices -fluctuated in an unprecedentedly violent and erratic manner all day. The specu lative spirit had apparently run wild and nothing seemed too great to attempt In the feverish imagination of the excited speculators. The boldness and recklessness of the manipulation have probably never been equaled on the New York Stock Exchange, and variations of a point or more between sales were viewed with as much equa nimity as a fraction of In an ordinary market. Blocks' of thousands of shares of stocks were tossed backward and for ward ano millions of dollars wero ven tured with no more concern than though pennies were being pitched. News or ac tual conditions of properties "played no part whatever in the speculation. The method of operations was largely to follow designated leadership. A sud den and violent advance In any stock was sufficient to attract an overwhelming following, In which the scramble to buy caused a volatile rise, with quick prollts for the leaders, who hastened to unload. Monday seemed a remote period In the view of the speculators and their opera tions did not appear to be destined to go beyond the day's trading. The mar ket was an admirable one in which to unload stocks and It is within reason to suppose that the excitement was stimu lated by every possible artful device to further this object. How far It was tak en advantage of may be Inferred ' from the comparatively small number of stocks which retain any Important net gains, In spite of the appearance of extreme buoy ancy which the market had the most of the time. The trunk lines, Illinois Cen tral, Amalgamated Copper, Colorado Fuel and some of the dormant investment stocks may he set apart, although none of them closed near, the highest prices. Otherwise '-smalt gains of considerable losses will he found to be the Tufe. The precipitate manner In which long stock was unloaded on the opening bulge showed the eagerness of the bulls to take their profits. The violent manner in which prices broke showed that a point In the matter was of little account in consideration of making a quick sale. The outside public were excited buyers at the opening, attracted by yesterday's extraordinary advance and the execution of their orders which were apparently without limit as to price, caused an ebul lient opening. Profit-taking met the -ad vance immediately. When the first itorm "oTTTqaidaTJorTTiad" spent "Itself, efforts were- made to -revive the speculative en thusiasm by bidding up new stocks. The attempt met with' -considerable success al though profit-taking continued heavy under- cover of thelate advance In the trunk lines and Amalgamated Copper. The market's sensitive spot was clearly indicated by its action, under the influence of the flurtywiiy-tSdll "money to above 6 per cent. Some of the stocks touched the lowest level of the day la the spasm of liquidation this forced. When the money rate fell back, covering by shorts caused some violent recoveries, but the closing was exceedingly feverish and Irregular. The large demands from the interior for cash and the prospect o'f a weak bank statement explained the flurry. Business in bonds was not so large -tele-tlvely as in stocks and the movement of prices was irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,708,000. United States 4s, old cuupon, advanced per cent on the last call. Speculation has been fairly rampant on the stock market during the short week and the violent price movement and the unprecedented volume of the "dealings In the stocks which have held the foremost place in the dealings indicate wildness and reckless excess. The speculative fe ver Is evidently widely extended and the telegrpah plays an Important part In the dealings, bringing orders to the Stock Ex change In Immense volume from all over the country. Railroad Stocks. A notable feature of the market is that the stocks most notably affected have been the- high-grade dividend-paying railroad stocks. There have been many old rumors Tevlved regarding these prop erties to carry along the advance, but of actual news regarding " them there has been none of Importance and the rumors have been met with emphatic official de nials In many instances. These denials have been totally Ignored by the specula tors who have continued to buy the stocks on an enormous scale and to bid up the prices with reckless confidence .and then to cite the continued rise In prices" as confirmation of the rumors. The increasing, wildness of the specula tion haa been viewed with misgivings by many observers, and many of the more conservativa commission-houses have ad vised their customers to sell out and take their profits. But such advice, counts for little when the selling la repeatedly followed by renewed buoyancy and further excited advances., , Tho conviction tias been widespread that much of the, buying, was for investment by hankers .and capitalists and instigated by reports of others seeking extension or Interest and control, but this supposi tion canndt be Verified in any authorita tive manner There has,, been enormous profit-taking at every stage of the advance and this Is adduced as evidence of the health of the market. But It Is to be borne In mind that the taking of profits involved a buyer at the high level, as well as a sel ler. No adequate judgment can be formed of the health of the market until the character of these buyers, who are the present t holders, becomes better known. This can -"only be by a considerable reac tion in prices. -The Money Market. . The quarterly disbursement, of Interest and dividends have afforded relief to the money markets all over the worjd this, week. In New York the purchase of short-term Government bonds for the sinking fund by the Secretary of the Treasury '-was an additional factor to Tvards relief. London, borrowed, gold in New Y.ork. as being the cheapest money center and shipped it to Paris in pay ment of obligations. Lopklng to the future it is expected that the British Government will off.er Its $250,000,000 war hian for subscriptlbn In the latter part of April. The Easter movement of cash ire 'the. English country markets Is making .heavy inroads on, the Bank, of England's re serve, this- week's decerase In bullion amounting, to over $10,000,000. London financial authorities do not expect 'a large return flow during April. That the flotation of the loan will lead to a coni elderablc movement of jjold from New i York to London direct Is therefore to considered as one of the probabilities of the future. The activity of the railroad bond mar ket has been affected by the Interest di verted to the stock market and prices have moved irregularly.

Foreign Influence came to the aid of holders of May corn, and, Phillips, the bull leader.- had "little to do stive to witness a favorable turn of the market as a recompense for yes terday's setback. The Liverpool market rendered notable service In refusing to follow thevdecllne on this side 1 yesterday. This attitude frightened shorts and for an hour at the opening trade was tvild. Compared with the previous close at 41, the market, opened with bids rang ing from 42 to 43. Phillips took 200,000 bushels. The market worked back to 42 during the forenoon. About noon a commission Jlrm offered 250,000 bushels May at 42. Phillips look It and offered the same price for another similar lot. He did not get It, but the affair 'created' renewed alarm among shorts, advancing the price to 43. The close was ot 43 lc over yesterday and only c under Monday. Wheat was the least firm of the. f-raln markets. ' May opened a shade to c higher at 72 to 72c under the influence of the Liverpool market, -vVhlch did not respond to the weakness on thlB sfde yes terday. Yesterday's buyers became sellers and the market eased off. Country lots came out on the decline and May was" iorcea aown to vic c under yester day's weakest point. A sharp cash de mand and the strength in oats and corn later caused covering by shorts and May rallied to 7272c. The close was steady, May c lower at 72c. Business .in oats was not heavy, but prices were strong in sympathy with corn. May closed c higher at 25c. The undertone of the provisions mar. ket was easier on selling by packers.

STEEL TRUST ISGRQWING. Has Acquired More Properties Ir cm Mnrltct Is Strong. NEW YORK, April 4. The Iron Age says: ' -The announcement of the organization of the United States Steel - Corporation has brought some surprises, notably as to the absence in the directory of a larg er rftnreeentatlon of the principal men ln some of the constituent concerns. , The scope of the new concern is now being enlarged) more particularly through the acquisition of more ore properties. Tho Oliver Sixth, of the Oliver Mining Com pany; nottcbntrolled by the Carnegie Steel Company, has .been added; the Aregon, with a product of 400,000 tons, has been purchased, and an- option has been se cured on the Cleveland Cliffs Company, the most extensive and valuable of the. outside concerns, with their transporta tion interests and their charcoal fur naces. It Js a fact, too, that negotiations are pending for the purchase of some of the large steel plants, which Still linger In single glory. The Iron markets ae very strong throughout, and every suspicion of ma nipulation to help along the floating of the great consolidation has appeared. The demand in every direction proves to be enormous, and there Is no doubt but it has for 'the present, at least, outrun tho active capacity, great though it be. Pig iron or steel purposes for prompt de livery continues very scarce, and billets are Simply unobtainable for early ship ment. In fact, some' of the rolling mills belonging to the consolidation are Idle because the steel plants cannot furnish them with material. Prehilums are the rule, not alone for steel, but also for a large variety of finished products, and heavy orders are being placed. As yet there are no Indications that the danger point In values has been reached, although' some'of the most Conservative of consolidation managers avow that It Is not .far off." There are no signs of speculation anywhere, but on thet con trary there Is a growing disposition to Cover requirements for more distant de livery, In some cases Into the fourth quarter. In foundry Irons, buyers representing a wide ' variety of- consumptive require ments are etill coming Into the market and good purchases continue, 1n spite of the fact that the Southern furnaces are now asking 511 75 for No. 2 foundry. As an instance of how great the change has been we may cite the fact that one lead ing company last week made shipments to Europe on old contracts, which netted only 57 50 at the furnace. t Another Instance of the sharp ,sirugglo which European manufacturers are en gaged In against, American competition Is furnished by the bids for the second In stallment of the famous Java cast-iron water pipe order. The first, for about 3500 tons, was taken by R. D. Wood & Co., of Philadelphia, last year. The sec ond, for about 3600 .tons, has been captured by a large French works at a figure which, It is claimed, was 54 per ton below the low.est American bid. EASTERN lilVESTOCK. CHICAGO, April 4.
