sfHKsf,r'Sw:lp FFsfcPini HP THE MfVRNINft ' OREO ONT AST, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1901. 11 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS Tesferday wa an unusually active Monday in the wholesale markets, -although habitual quietness prevailed In a lew lines. The most consplcupus change "wras in eggs, -which declined suddenly, the lowest quotation being ISc. The product was regarded -weak Saturday and aH,- dealers expected lower prices,- but Ji8rdIyBuca afall as occurred. It Is clear now that prices were overstrained by competition of buyers in the country, who were buying as high as 13& cents. This resulted in large accumulations in Port land and lower market was resorted to to clear away the surplus. These eggs are not of the superior quality of the early April stock, else they might be stored for Winter. The surplus which has heretofore been going largely into cold storage is thus reacting upon the market, Owing to the reluctance of merchants to accept the decline, there was a -wide margin between quoted prices. The figures paid in the country left Impression that the product was strong, and the dlsailuslonment may throw larger supplies on the market. Butter is firm. Store Is a little in ad rance of last week's quotations. Dairy is less active than the other grades. Poul try moved -well yesterday and was most ly all sold out by evening. Varied supplies from Alaska, to the Amount of a carload, were sent out yes terday. The shipment Included esse, but ler, vegetables, fruit etc. Potatoes -vrere slightly weak yesterday In sympathy with California, but dealers look upon the condition as temporary. The San Francisco weakness was due to heavy receipts. Portland dealers got ln about 1200 sacks by boat yesterday from Lewis River and the valley. Over 5000 sacks are ready for the California 6teamer. Usual California produce by steamer was in market in -good condition and moved off rapidly. New potatoes and cabbage were higher. Another supply of new onions was received.

NEW YORK, May 6. The Interrupted speculative -advance was renewed today with great violence, the speculative hold ers of stocks apparently having been en itrely reassured by the check to the re action whTch was achieved Saturday. The urgent selling which was in evidence on a nflay afternoon, snot only on the part of forced sellers, whofee loans had been called oi whose margins had been wiped ouk, but of those who feared that they would be, was entirely lacking thlfe morn ing. Those who still had their stocks held them with determination, while those who had come to grief seemed to be re turning In vast hordes to make good their losses, reinforced by an increasing tide of new speculators. Apparently the speculative public was convinced that Friday's sharp reaction was nothing more than a manipulative dip, designed to shake off weak holdings, which were a menace to an advance, and to afford great railroad capitalists oppor tunity to continue their buylne for con trol to better advantage and at holders' expense. There was no sign of timidity lest the same experience should again overcome the weaker olass of holders, and the Wall street district gave ample evi dence that that class of speculators waa again taking an active Interest In the" market The effect of Saturday's market seemed to have had time over Sunday to gain great force, and as a result there was a heavy congestion of urgent buy ing orders to be executed at the openlhjr. London prices at the opening here indi cated that large buying orders in the American department had been executed there for London account before our open ing, and there was reported from London increasing excitement on the part of the, English speculators themselves over the" American boom. Large numbers of stock" brokers found themselves eagerly bidding against each other when the chairman's hammer fell on the New York Stock Exchange. The result waB a ' violent upward spurt of prices which has scarcely been equaled in any opening during the present boom. This upward spurt of prices proved in many cases to be the highest of the day, although there were constant recoveries and reactions in the general list all day. Opening sales were of from 1000 to 25,000 shares in separate stocks at extreme ad vances of 4& points, and at prices in some Instances varying as much" as 2 points on simultaneous sales. The grangers, Pacifies, trunk lines and Southwesterns proved to be the most active stocks. There was a continued dearth of news to account for the strength of the market in general, and Northern Pactflc in particular. Consolidation continued to be the magic word to influence the trading. There was even a wild rumor that all the great rail road interests, whose supposed contests for' control have caused the recent violent movemeataJn prices, hadcpmeJLo..acP.inr promise, and were about to consolidate all the principal railroad systems of the whole country. This narrowed down somewhat to more specific reports of prog ress in the Southwestern merger, and of further steps toward the adjustment of relations in the Northwestern railroad deals. The last-named rumor was. the only thing to account for the sensational movement in Northern Pacific, which In its range of suddenness exceeded that of any of the individual stocks which have been singled out at different times recently as centers of attention. Northern Pacific made an extreme advance of 23 points, with no very important reaction on the way. Long strings of 1000 to 6000-share blocks were recorded, but the price changes did not exceed & of a point after the opening, when the second sale was made at a jump of 2 points over the first sale, which-was 4 points over Saturday. The movement in Canadian Pacific was apparently sympathetic and reached an ex treme of 13& The Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic common and preferred stocks rose about 3 points each, Minneapolis, St. iraui a: aauit aie. .arane ?), ana me pre ferred 5, following Canadian Pacific. Aside from these there were few stocks which exceeded the opening prices, among them Atchison, which rose an extreme 6 points, and a number of less prominent stocks. Pittsburg, 'Chicago, Cincinnati & St Louis rose 8; Minneapolis & St Louis 7, and the poalers generally from 1 to 5, None of these gains were fully main tained. In fact, profit-taking was in steady progress all day, under qoVer of the strength in individual stocks. The United States Steel stocks especially suffered from liquidation, and closed practically unchanged from Saturday's closing. This had a counteracting Influence on the spec ulative enthusiasm. The higher money was also a deterrent Influence, though it was explained by bull enthusiasts that the brokers paid the higher rate because they were too busy to haggle over it. The call money rate touched 10 per cent In the afternoon, but fell back after the most urgent demand had been satisfied. The buying of Northern Pacific was very con centrated, a single house being credited with the purchase of as much as 150,000 shares. It is a ' house which has been prominent in all the recent nptable move ments of railroad stocks. The day's business was well over 2,000,000 shares, but was a half-mill on less than on any full cays trading last week.

Wheat prices were pounded down for a loss of c today, cables and weather being the mairi bear ish Influences. LlberAl receipts caused a closing loss of 2 cents ltl May com, but July closed steady c down. July oats closed c lower and provisions a shade to 5c higher. The wheat market bowed to ihe' influ ence of lower cables and rain in the West. where seemingly It adds the finishing touch to almost perfect conditions. Lib eral world's shipments came as an added encouragement to those who wish for lower prices. July opened a shade to c lower, at . 72c to 72c, under pressure from Iongfi and shorts .selling bears and dropped early to 72c. Strong cables from the Continent caused a flurry of alarm among shorts and the market recovered to 73c during the flr3t,hour. but the 'bulk of the pit was against' the, recovery and a sharp reaction to -71cf followed. Wheat was dull the remainder of the session, and while prices ruled fractionally above the bottom the" rest of the day, the close was rather easy, c under yesterday, at 72c. A marked increase In the receipts of contract corn, together with the expec tation that there would be a further in crease tomorrow was influential In the corn market May corn felt the Increase more seriously than the deferred futures. For delivery this month the option opened from 63 to 50c, which proved to be the day'fl range, and closed 2o lower at 51c. There was scarcely any trade. In July operations" were more active. July corn was sold aggressively during the forenoon, and prices at one time, showed .a losa,Qf. half a cent. A reaction under the leader ship of the most influential idl on the, floor took place in the, afternoon, July closing steady, c lower, at4646c. "Big general grading Jn (July and the unloading of 300,000"bushejs of May by an Influential operator with a fractional de cline In both deliveries marked the "day's session In the oats pit.
