JEne recent advance in potatoes has
brought out more liberal offerings than
tfi'e San lYancisco market Trould absorb
aftop prices, and a slight decline is no
ticeable Kew California onions are plen
tiful In the market, but -do not seem to
h&ve affected the price of the Oregon
stock, -which, is still holding up abovel
0er cental. Eggs -were -weaker .yesterday,
and cold-storage men will not put them
away at present prices. Poultry to firm
at a slight advance. "Veal Is more plen
tiful, and a fraction lower. Pork is very
scarce, and is still selling at top prices.
Barley and oats continue firm, in eplte
of a weakness In the former cereal In
California. Groceries are firm, with no
changes of Importance In prices. Receipts
of California strawberries are increasing;
and a couple of crates came in from
Southern Oregon yesterday.
Spring trade is moving along on an even
keel, with enough of an increase in vol
ume, as compared with last year, to sat
isfy both jobbers and middlemen. The de
mands for labor of all kinds are greater
than ever before, and this, of couree, is
reflected in an Increased demand for sta
ples of all kinds. The wheat season has
drifted around to the period usually desig
nated as "between hay and grass." and
but few sales are reported, although tha
export business on old account still holds
tip to pretty good proportions. There is
a littlf more activity in wool, but no Im
provement in prices as yet. Mohair has
been pretty well cleaned out, there being
but little still on hand in this state. Po
tatoes have been selling up to fancy
prices, but the figures paid have brought
out such liberal offerings that the San
Francisco market ha weakened a little.
Butter is steady on a good demand for
oold-storage purposes, but eggs are in
clined to weakness. Pork is firm at full
figures, but veal is slightly -weaker. Poul.
try Is doing better this, week.
WHEAT The market is holding fairly
teady with the decline or one day fol
lowed by an advance the next, and the
net changes being of small importance.
3Iost of the foreign advance has been ab
sorbed by increasing firmness in freights,
the statistical position of ships at the
present time being strong enough to war
rant "owners holding out for materially
higher rates than were ruling a short
time ago. With so little wheat selling, it
is a difficult tmatter to secure accurate
quotations, bat yesterday "60 cents was
given; as anextreme figure for "Walla
"Walla, wfth most of the exporters quot
ing and 59j cents per bushel. Bluestem
is nominal aj the usual 2 -cents differen
tial. There fis not enough wheat celling
to cut much; of a figure in the market
either way. and stocks have been pretty
well cleaned out of the country. Freights

The weather continues to be the domi
nating factor in the market, and, with
present favorable prospects in this coun
try, it is not so easy to Tork up a, bullish
movement in the cereal. Much of the
fctrcngtb recently shown in the -market
was due to the damage reported to the
'German -crop. This was aided in a
measure by the email Argentine Ship
ments, which are much less than half as
large as ja' year ago. The liberal rains
in California have improved the situation
in that state, but it Is not by any means
certain that the crop will be anywhere
near the average. In the Pacific North
west the outlook continues very" bright,
and with an acreage much larger than a
year ago, a record-breaker is not among
the improbabilities. The Cincinnati Price
Current, reviewing its crop correspond
ence for the week ending last Saturday,
says:
"The1 past week has been highly favor
able for growth of vegetation and the ad
vancement of farm work over nearly the
entire wheat and corn -section, of the coun
"rf. The average condition of the Win
ter wheat crop has changed but slightly
during the week, the prospects being about
as favorable as a month ago. There has
leen more or less decline in condition's in
Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Kansas, Cal
ifornia and in limited areas elsewhere,
but these declines have been about evenly
offset by improved conditions, particular
ly In Kew York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan. There
is no more complaint of the presence of
than thefe was a month ago.
"In the Northwestern States Spring
wheat seeding has made rapid progress
during the week, and In a general way
the season is progressing favorably. A
wind and dust storm in the Dakotas did
some harm by uncovering or burying the
recently sown grain, but it is not believed
to have been serious. A thorough can
vass has not yet been made in regard to
the -Spring wheat acreage, but it is not
likely that there will be an increase com
pared with the acreage sown last year,
as there is a decided tendency to put more
land to corn and flax, especially In South
ern Dakota and Minnesota."
OATS AND BARLEY Oats are so well
cleaned out of the state that it would be
a difficult matter to pick up a round lot.
The Government is still in the market, but
not at extravagant figures. Best white
are quoted at ?1 301 35 per cental,
with gray steady at $1 25I 30 per
cental. Barley Is holding firm in this mar
ket in spite of the weakness and lower
prices in California. Best feed la in de
mand at 17 and fl.7 50 per ton, but no dif
ferential $fcpjpered for brewing, which
does -not seexrPto bfifimeady demand.
GRAIN BAGS After a brief period of
"weakness, the market for Calcuttas has
braced up again, and they are strong at
7 cents. The Improved condition of the
California crop is responsible for the re
turning strength, and if wheat and barley
turn out as well as expected in that state,
and ,there is an average crop in the north,
lower prices cannot prevail.
WOOD Quite a number of buyers are
in the field, and a few round lots have
changed hands at about quotations. The
amount sold, however, when compared
with the holdings, is very small, but more
activity is looked for now that shearings
are getting pretty well along. New York
mail advices of May 4 report the situa
tion in the East as follows:
"Very little change has occurred in the
wool market for the past week, and prices
have remained the same throughout. Buy
ing In the West has continued at prices
about -equivalent to those here, with the
demand light and business not quite as
active as it was. A slight slacking off
in certain quarters has been attributed by
some to be due to the action of many
firms in awaiting an expected 10 per cent
advance by the London market. This
advance not having materialized, prices
are expected to remain unchanged here.
If London sales advance, which is thought
to be quite probable, mills which have
been holding off will again become active
purchasers on the strength of a more act
ive business outlook."
POTATOES High prices have brought
out liberal offerings, and the San Fran
cisco market has weakened under the
liberal shipments that have been made
from this port. Best Burbanks are easy
at il and $1 10, t-lth some of the offerings
going at 90 cents. Jfew potatoes are Im
proving in quality and increasing In quan
tity. ONIONS New California onions are
plentiful at about $2 25 per cental, but
even at this figure they cannot supply
the place of the old stock, and the few
remaining lots of Oregon onions are held
as high as $i and J4 SO per cental.
BUTTER The market is quite firm on
both creamery and store grades, with the
"Intermediate" stock not doing so well
proportionately. All of the select brands
jnove readily at 17& cents per pound, and
considerable stock is going into cold stor
age at these figures. Store butter finds
la more ready demand, now that logging
ana xaiiroaa camps are running at full
hlast. and are not giving the hands fancy j
flN!AL HEWS
creamery. There is also a demand for
shipment to outside points, and the mar
ket on fair to good store butter is about
12 cents per pound.
POULTRY The market Is showing
more firmness this week, and good stock
can be worked at 5 per dozen, even fancy
Springs selling at this figure. As usual,
there are quite a lot: of "peepers" for
which there is no demand, except at very
low figures, some of this clara going as
low as $1 50 per dozen. Young ducks are
in demand at $7 and $$ 50 per dozen, and
old are easy at $5 and $S per dozen. Geese
are not wanted at present, and quotations
.are to a large extent nominal. Turkeys
sell in a small way at 11 and 16 cents,
dresped, and about 11 and 12 cents live.
EGGS Dealers In search of eggs to go
into cold storage at 14 cents per dozen
apparently secured more than they needed,
for the: price has dropped back to 13 cents,
and if receipts continue large with de-1
mand slack, still lower prices will prevail.
Keports were current yesterday of sales
at 12J4 cents, for round lots. Prices have
ruled so iow in the East that cold-storage
men have secured supplies enough under
Pacific Coast figures to enable them to
be very troublesome competitors -when the
time comes to bring the stock out of the
storage next Winter.

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grnln, Flour, Etc.
Buyers and sellers are apart again so
far"as the local wheat market Is con
cerned, and there is not enough of the
cereal offering to enable an accurate quo
tation to be made. Sixty cents is obtain
able for Walla Walla, but some of the ex
porters refuse to quote over 59 to 59V4
cents. The Eastern markets were a little
sloppy" again yesterday, hut the net
loss from the day previous was compara
tively small. The European market was
steady. Freights are firming up again,
and this is interfering with the local ben
efits which otherwise might arise from
an advance lh the cereal. A ship was
fixed for June loading at 38s 3d, and 38
shillings was refused for a November
ship. As high as 37s Gd s reported bid
in San Francisco for next season loading.

KEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
KEW YORK. Mflv 9. The threatenlns
condition of affairs which developed in
I the stock market yesterday culminated
today In one of the fiercest twisto ever
experienced in Wall street The corner
In Northern Pacific was the Impelling
cause of the crisis, owing to the threat
contained in the ruinous terms .forced
upon the shorts in that stock, that disas
trous liquidation would be forced at other
points. Strenuous efforts were made by
the most powerful financial interests in
the country to avert the threatened trou
ble, and almost unlimited supporting or
ders were placed in the market "for the
opening in anticipation of the heavy sell
ing which was to come.
Reassuring expressions were dlssemU
nated designed to dissuade alarmed hold
ers from precipitate selling of their stocks,
but all these precautions proved unavail
ing in the face, of the unmistakable index
afforded by the price of Northern Pacific
that the" corner In that stock was iptact
and therefore .that .the bitter controversy
over the control of the property was etill
unsettled. When Northern Pacific began
selling at $200 and $20fr and $500, and even
as high as $700 on regular transactions,
and at $1000 for cash, the appalling possi
bilities of the forced covering of the larg
est shortages at thcoa terms weakened
the whole market, and prices crumbled
away with the utmost violence during the
second hour. - -
-The volume of the blocks unloaded and
the reckless disregard of the price which
they brought were without precedent in
the memory of the oldest trader. Before
any check could come to the tremendous
liquidation, Delaware & Hudson had lost
59 polnta Manhattan 39, Union Pacific 38,
Rock Island 5, Atchison 32, St. Paul
30. Missouri Pacific 32, and a long list of
Others from 5 to 30 points. The predomi
nance of the Northern Pacific corner on
the situation tvas demonstrated by the
quick rally In the market when the an
nouncement was made that the contend
ing Interests In Northern Pacific would
not require deliveries of stock today.
Pretty broad Intimations were Also thrown
out that such deliveries, would not be re
quired so long as present conditions last.
The exemption of Northern. Pacific from
the usual clearing-house requirements of
delivery still further allayed apprehension.
The quotations of the stock fell back to
300, both on cash and on regular trans
actions after these announcements, and
there was a scramble to cover on the pact
of the professional shorts. There was a
large number of bargain-hunters In the
market. ,The combined effect of this buy
ing was reflected In rallies in Delaware
& .Hudson to 5, Manhattan to 34, Rock
Island to 33, Atchison to 20, United States
Steel preferred to 20, actually carrying
the stock 2 points over yesterday's close;
Missouri Pacific to 28, Louisville to 23,
Amalgamted Copper to 22, St Paul to 21,
and in a large number of other stocks
from 5 to 20 points. This rally did not
fully hold. The market became much
quieter during the latter part of the day,
but thefeverlshness and nervousness con
tinued. ' ' ,
Even the action of the bankers by agree
ment in lending $16,000,000 on 'change at
6 per cent failed JLo relieve the close from
such' very erratic movements and renewed
bad breaks in prices. The extension of
shrinkage .in the value of securities and
corresponding decrease In . credits made
money very stringent, and 60s per cent
was bid at one ,tlmg by' those seeking ac
commodation. The action of the associ
ated banks forced the rate down to 6 per
cent. The feverish .tone of the market
at the close, and the fact that the trouble
was still unsettled, left the feeling of un
easiness, retaining large force in the
financial district.
Selling of bonds to protect stockholders
made that department of the market weak
in sympathy with stocks.
United States new 4s advanced Yt on the
last call.

NEW YORK. May 9. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
There was only one topic in the mar
kets .here today, namely, the crash In
Americans, but London -was little affected
by the collapse. Business was virtually
suspended all day, dealers being too ner
vous to make prices, and quotations Oscil
lated vlolehtly on trifling transactions.
simply responding to New York advices.
Northern Pacific began at 120. but the
purchase of 5C00 sheres for the Conti
nent forced the price to 13S. The open
ing in New York showed tumbling prices
and sent Northern Pacific down to- 123.
Others dropped $3 to $5. When the street
witnessed the real break following North
ern Pacifies were hardly mentioned. A
sudden rally of about $20 in active stocks
was caused by a report that arbitrage
houses had compromised and that a 24
hour truce was arranged in the Northern
Pacific squeeze.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, May 9. Wheat opened with
a feeling of easiness, but assumed a firm
er attitude straight awayi In spite of
bearish items, July opened c to
c lower, at 72 to 71c, touched 71c and
rallied to 72c. This steadiness was
maintained but a short time, when the
highly sensational movements of stocks
In New York created apprehension among
longs. Under a steady stream of liqui
dation, July was forced down to 70fcc
during the forenoon.
The corn trade was comparatively tame.
Prices were unsettled by the New York
Hurry and by a marked Increase in the
quantity of No. 2 corn in the receipts.
July closed c lower at 45c. May closed
c higher, at 53c.
Oats were a shade up at the start on
a big general demand, and were more
active than wheat or corn during the
early part of the session. The market was
last to feel the Wall street scare. The
close was firm, July c higher, at 27c.
Provisions were dull and weaker on the
stock decline, and in sympathy with low
er hog prices. Pork was the weakest
July pork closed 25c lower; lard, 25c

But Strength Is Well Sustained
Mills In Full Operation.
CLEVELAND, May 9. The Iron Trade
Review for this week siys: Quietness
with sustained strength characterizes the
.. m.rWt Thorn is jietlvitv that not
I long back would have been considered
noteworthy, but In comparison wun me
record of March, which in pig iron was
unprecedented, the current buying Is
light Mills are running to their utmost
capacity on nearly all descriptions of
products, though in plates there is not
the accumulation of orders that was no
ticed in the Winter and early Spring.
Rail business has not been cut off by
the advance, but It Is now evident that
further new business for delivery this
year must be taken care of in mills east
of Pltlaburg.
The coarse of pig iron production Is
being watched with Interest by the trade.
Buyers seem to be proceeding with the
assumption that consumption will be over
taken shortly, and thit the active blast
furnaces capacity will be sufficient to pre
serve stable prices through the year at
least to guarantee against any material
advance. Two of the large, new central
Western furnaces have just gone into
blast; another, is to follow shortly, and
others will come later In the year. It Is
already evident. that the United States
Steel-Corporation will not-be-ini.the mar
ket for as much pig Iron. In the second
half of the year as It bought for delivery
before July 1. Foundry buying keeps up,
though at a slackened pace, and the melt
of Iron In foundry cupolas is probably In
excess ol any record yet made.
Sheet and tin-plate works are being
driven to their full capacity. It is the
expectation that a basis will be agreed
upon with the Amalgamated Association
that'will obviate the necessity of a shut
down on July 1. pending the adjustment
of the scale, putting that organization In
line with the conciliation movement,
which looks to a continuance of opera
tions pending all adjustments of labor
questions. The possibility of machinists'
strikes at various points on May 20 Is
one element of uncertainty In the situa
tion. The nine-hour day and Increased
wage will be granted in some cases. It
appears, but the majority of employers
are expected to refuse the double con
cession. SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.

The Metal Markets.
NEW YORK, May 9. A steady to firm
feeling prevailed in the local tin market
today as the result of small offerings, and
a slight change In the statistical out
look. Trading, however, was very slow
all day with the final tone steady at
$26 25. In London prices took a lower level
for spot goods, declining to 119 15s, while
the future list was somewhat higher,
closing at 116 15s.
Copper, locally, ruled dull, but nomi
nally steady at unchanged prices, on the
basis of $17 for Lake and of ?16 62 for
smelting. An easier feeling predominated
abroad for that metal, and spot closed
at C9 16s 3d, with futures at 70 6s 3d.

Trade Before Politics.
New York Mail and Express.
It was entirely appropriate that the
steamship which carried the Cuban dele
gates away from New York on their re
turn to Havana, should have taken a
larger cargo of freight than was ever sent
to Cuba on a single ship before. The
whole sentiment of the delegates' recep
tion in New York was commercial. Pol
itics was only an incident In the talk.
The Cubans themselves were pleased and
Impressed by this circumstance. If trade
with Cuba Is developed to the point where
the Island takes from us about all the
goods that It Imports, and sends us prac
tically all Its products, political relations
will take care of themselves. In their
own way the merchants of New York are
wiser than the law-makers at Washing
ton. Too Much "In Evidence."
New York Tribune.
The sentinels of the King's English
might wisely cry out against the overuse
of the word "evidence" both as a noun
and a verb. "Very much In evidence" Is
a stilted phrase which Is unpleasantly
frequent In books and magazines and
newspapers In these days. It means noth
ing more than the single word "conspicu
ous" or "prominent" or "debated" or
"discussed," and It is a sadly overworked
allocution. To "evidence" and 'to be evi
denced" are blots on the purity of the
language which are also too often recog
nized In currenct speech and print.
