THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 190T. f i n ' r COMMERCIAL AND Local markets -were quiet yesterday. Potatoes were stronger. There is a good deal of confidence In the present situation and some farmers are holding for another advance. They draw assurance from the California market that the high limit has not yet been reached, although most deal ers apparently believe prices will le steady at existing figures. The product, whenever available, is taken up by speculators at once and the country lb reported to have few left. The California crop of potatoes was large, but advices are p the effect that it is running low. This fact is Indi cated by Ban Francisco quotations and by increased requisitions on Oregon Bur bonks. Although the supply of onions is very short in the local market, there is no probability of any stress, for a quantity of new California will arrive on next steamer. Eggs were a little uncertain yesterday, quotations varying between 1415c. Ma jority of sales were for 1414c Cold storage is still receiving a large part of (surplus stock. The market Is thought to be in -nice equipoise at present because advance would tend to put on sale that part of receipts which Is now going into storage. Much of the present strength is regarded as induced by competition of winter speculators. Butter is steady at quotations. Creamery Is firm, but store is weak. Improved market for store is looked for, as quality of product Is grow ing better and California is sending in some orders. Poultry Is slow of sale, ex cepting broilers and fryers, which have good demand. Ehubarb and asparagus make up the Tbulk of the present vegetable supply. Tresh California produce by steamer Is 3ue tomorrow morning. A small consign ment of cherries from California arrived yesterday and was sold slowly at $11 25 per box. Strawberries show a slight de cline. Clearing: House Statement. Clearings. Balances. Portland $328.45)2 $32,631 Tacoma 234,774 62,143 Seattle 420,129 92.7S9 Spokane 160,141 29.283 PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Etc. A soaking rain In California sent the San Francisco markets down with a rush yesterday, and the weakness there was a factor in disturbing conditions elsewhere. "World's shipments showed a heavy de crease since last week and there was quite a decrease in the American visible. In the local market, there was not much doing, but some pretty stiff bids are re ported out at some competitive points In the interior. Some round lots of "Walla "Walla were sold late Saturday evening as high as 02 cents per bushel, but this yas about a cent above the .figure openly quoted yesterday. There is a rumor float ing around to the effect that 10,000 tons of wheat have been purchased in the Pa louse for shipment.East by rail and thence to Liverpool on through bills of lading. The report lacks confirmation, but is not Improbable, if the railroad companies have made concession on the rail haul. Wheat Walla Walla, 60c; blue etem, 61c; Valley, nominal.

Large Transactions and Remarkable Variation of Prices. NEW YORK, April 29. If there was any apprehension that the specula tive advance would be Interrupted after the holiday Interval, these were dispelled within five minutes after trading opened in the new temporary quarters of the Stock Exchange. " The first transaction demonstrated the leading position of the United States Steel stocks, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific in the speculative situation, and that leadership was unaf fected during the whole day. There was great activity and some striking strength shown by a number of other stocks, but they paled into insignificance In com parison with the furious activity and ex traordinary price changes in the lead ers. Often during the day there were strips of several feet of ticker tape which recorded successive transactions in one or the other of these stocks with not a single block of less than 1C00 shares in the series, and running up to 8000 shares. The extreme advance in Union Pacific extended to 12 in the later afternoon, and In Northern Pacific to 10&. United States Steel stock did not show such wide fluctuations, as it naturally would from the much greater volume of the company's capitalization. The stock ad vanced 3 and the preferred 2 and held more firmly than almost any other stock in the list There were some very strik ing gains among the grangers, Pacifies and trunk lines, but these seemed to be associated In the minds of the buyers with the movement In Union Pacific, Rock Island was at one time 6& over Frlr day, St Paul 4, New York Central 5, Pennsylvania, 3. Baltimore & Ohio 3, Illlhols Central 3'4, St Louis and San Francisco second preferred 3, and a number of other stocks from 2 to 3 points. Colorado Fuel rose 8 points and Amalga mated Copper 3. If these stocks are set apart It will be found that the dealings elsewhere and the movement of prices otherwise were 'not 'sensational. But contemplating these special price movements and the volume of dealings in the stocks enumerated, one has compassed the salient facts of the extraordinary market of the day. There was no specific news to account" for the unprecedented dealings which lifted the day's record to 2.760,000 shares. As the vital point of the speculation is money supply, the Increase in surplus reserves shown by Saturday's bank state ment was a favorable factor. The large gain In cash was noted with especial sat isfaction as reflecting the continued In flow of funds to New York. Much store Is placed also in the Government Inter est disbursements to be made May 1. and large corporation dividend payments are also counted upon for help to the money situation. The reliance placed on these factors was made evident by the small monetary effect of the engagement of $1,750,000 In gold for export and the opin ion of exchange experts that probably $5,0Q0,O00 might go out during the week. There was some doubt as to the destina tion of the gold, but that It would go to tlie .Continent .and-ncTt to London seemed evident The engagement of $1,000,000 for London was unknown until after the elbse. The decline of the Continent exchanges in London, in spite of 'the rather pleth oric condition of the Continental money markets, and the relative stiffness pf the London money market, Is beginning to arouse surmise In financial circles wheth er preparations are not making by the Continental Government banks to provide for floating a Russian loan in addition to the requirements of the British loan. The strength of the steel stocks was accom panied by rumors of coming statements which will show extraordinary earnings by the United States Steel Corporation. The belief Is widespread in speculative circles that extensive readjustments In the relations of the various granger and Pacific railroad systems are necessitated in compensation for the Burlington deal. This belief gives rise to varied rumors, almost all of which are-received with a certain amount or credulity. The action of the whole market shows clearly that the demand for stocks from all classes of buyers maintains its voracious force, and needs only the leadership of an upward movement in price to bring in such buy ing from all quarters as will eclipse all previous experience in the history of speculative markets In New York. The final volatile outburst In Union Pacific and Northern Pacific today seemed to arouse misgivings and there was free profit taking all through the rest of the list But this is exactly the history of last week's similar movement In Union Pacific, which caused widespread appre hension lest the culmination of the boom had arrived, and which was, neverthe less, followed by a renewal In full force of the speculative advance. Dealings in Union Pacific convertible bonds were in enormous volume, and the prices shot up 7 points In response to the advance In the common stocks. Deal ings otherwise were large, and the price changed Irregularly. Total sales, par value, $6,000,000. United States 5s advanced V, and the 4s, coupon, and refunding 2s, H per cent on the last call.

This demand soon died out and longs, discouraged further by the fall of rain in California, the lack of export inquiry, the liberality of receipts and tne fact that bug reports failed to show any spread of the pest, continued to liquidate the re mainder of the session. May was gradu ally forced off to 72c and the close was weak; lr&c lower at 7272c. There were no Important rallies on the way down. May corn was saved the weakness which affected July by the neglect which the great majority of traders treated It, and by support from Phillips when the mar ket needed It. The volume of trade was rather small. July sold between 45c and 45c, and closed c down at 45c. May closed unchanged at 4S48c. Oats was active, and despite a moderate recession, seemed firm at the bottom. Elevator people still led the buying, hedging against cash sales, while the cash Inquiry remained in Its previous satis factory condition. May closed c lower at 26c. July closed c down at 26c. The provisions market was dull and the tone easier because of heavy hog re ceipts and a slump In hog prices, put prices suffered little after the opening.
