THE MOTWTNG OREGONTAN, TUESDAT, AVRTL 9, 1301 10M1ER0IAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS markets yesterday followed closely the quotations of Saturday. Front .street had Its Monday average of business. Con tinuance of fair "weather "would stimulate all lines, especially out-of-town orders, and "woud hasten along mohajr and veg etables. Eggs were steadier than last week. Dealers are resorting to storage. A fur ther advance in California would, open that market to them. Butter showed no Improvement. Some merchants consider a break probable A-ery soon. One firm -was willing to close out on the best Or egon grade below 20 cents. Some deal ers apprehend a smaller Alaska con sumption this year, and consequently de pressing effect, while, otners are firmly of the opinion that the market can mam. tain itself at usual level. Vegetables were limited, and CaUiornia rer almost entlrelv cleaned UP. JJomes- tlc product, such as rhubarb, lettuce, rad ishes, onions and asparagus, have begun to come in more freely. Potatoes were strong, and maintained, the Improvement of last week. Large export to San TYan clsco was made by last steamer. New po tatoes have declined slightly. Best grade onions were steady at last week's advance. The steamBr took a quantity to California Sunday in response t'o the higher price at San Francisco. Bank Clearings. Clearings.

Grain, Flour, Etc "With no foreign cables yesterday, local dealers were undecided how to gauge the market for wheat, and business was -accordingly on a very restricted scale with quotations nominally unchanged since Saturday. The best open quotation for "Walla "Walla wheat was 57 cents, but there were reports of o7 and even 5S cents being paid by ome of the Interior mills. The cereal is not worth the latter figure -for export, even on a much weaker freight market than is now in evidence. 2so pevr charters are reported, but the steamship Adato, now in port, is said to ie offering for wheat loading.

What happened. today in the siocK market Is what, according to all observ ers, was bound to happen. In due 'course of time. Nevertheless, as Is the wont of the stock market happenings, the day's events carafe as a surprise. . - Even the most enthusiastic bull has agreed to the proposition that 'such a rampant speculation as has been going on for weeks past was bound to overdo itself, and be followed, by a relapse of corresponding violence Only the enthu siastic bull has clung to the 'supposition that the relapse was still remote, and he .has continually moved forward the sup- posea date of .Its occurrence, In the hope that there was time for still another spec ulative turn. Even the wild and excited market of last week, which was an omin ous symptom, left the bulls, unprotected for todays developments. Tips for a rise In- many stocks were still widely prevalent before the opening this morning, and the explanation was offered that Thursday's flurry In call loan rates was due to manipulation by the bears. But the. Instant the market opened it became evident that the developments since Thursday had Induced a widespread determination to sell stocks.- Another pal pable fact was that some of the most powerful operators in the market had al ready sold their holdings and taken profits during the wjld excitement of last week, and were compactly Organized on the bear isldeof the. market "this, morn ing. Perceiving the highly vulnerable con dition of the market, owing to the over extension of long accounts thinly mar gined and, backed by weSkresources, tfie bears fell upoiC the market with great flercenessand cut a wide 'breach, in prices at the first onslaught. The wide Textent of the first declines, which "were made by successive drops from 1 to 2 points be tween sales,, Invited qulckrproflt taking by the bears, and the violent rallies which resulted encouraged the bulls to make some jstand against the reductIon( hoping that the flurry was temporary, and the market prepared, to renew the advance.- - This was the only period of the. day when there was any show of positive, strength, and Sugar, People's Gas Texas & Pacific and a number'of less Important stocks weYe niarked up sharplyaver last Thursday's level. The strength was'short Hved, however, and after -the demand from the bears had been satisfied many of the banks began -calling loans. This brought a fresh supply of liquidation In the market and Invited fresh attacks by the bears. The selling became precipi tate, as the fall in prices wiped' out mar gins and uncovered stop los6 orders, and, the jmlucky bulls jettisoned great'bales of. stock with the-hope of relieving their load and saving other holdings from the ship wreck. . Th only Important demand at any time came from the shorts, and the occasional spasmodical- rallies were not held in any case. This was true of the last as of former rallies, and although prices had not fallen back to the lowest all around, they were again on the down grade In most cases, and the closing was Irregu lar and only slightly above the lowest. The fall reached an extreme 8?i In Rock Island. 6J In "Delaware & Hudson. 5V In Amalgamated Copper, 7 In Colorado Fuel, preferred, and from 2 to 5 points In prac-, tically all of the active stocks In the list The Grangers, Pacific, Southwest erns, Southern, Coalers, Trunk lines, and high priced specialties were most, acutely affected. Sterling exchange eased off slightly In response to the higher money rate, but the conviction was not altered that a large additional sum of gold will be exported to meet the requirements of the London money market In connection with the coming government loan. The movement of money to the Interior, as disclosed by Saturday's bank statement, was unusually heavy, and would be sufficient If continued to quickly wipe out the surplus of the New York banks, but any considerable stringency In New York -would undoubt edly arrest this movement to some extent, although the purely commercial -needs tor r mbney are likely tofie met wfthouTregSrdr to "distress of purely speculative .borrow ers. . i i The sub-treasury drain, which Is des tined to continue, is more feared than any bther source of encroachment, and the conditional offer of the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem Government bonds for the sinking fund Is- felt to offer little Hope of relief for the stock market. Business in bonds was relatively less active than that In stocks, and the move ment of prices was irregular.
