MAY 15, 1901: It COMMERCIAL AND FINAHOEAL NEWS tn trend o local markets yesterday was steady and quotations -were not con spicuous lor Any change, Business has started out very favorably this -week nd at the present rate will reach an unusually large "volume by Saturday. Wheat is-'qulet and freight quotations'' show 'liveliness rather than the cereaL "Wool shearing Is In full sway In eastern Oregon, encouraged oy kindly weather. There have been some sales of old clip, notably la Morrow County. This move ment Is accepted by many as ah indica tion that holders ere Inclined to ease up a little and are somewhat overburdened wirii a prospective new crop. The prices have shown, some variance, having been reported at from TJic to lOtfc The mar ket Is .very dull and what sales have been negotiated have been too few to enliven the "situation. Receipts of Mohair con tinue to .come In slowly, as Is habitual at the end of a season; It is estimated that, three-fourths of the crop has come to market, and that this year's clip will be about equal to that of last. Oats and barley are firm. Potatoes are steady. Receipts of the latter have much lessened, as have also shipments to San Pranclsco. Dealers regard the supply to be nearing Its limit The California mar ket recovered a little yesterday. The opinion is general that the present basis of local prices Is well established. Eggs are quite weak under the force of large receipts and slackened demand. Spring fru't and produce, as Is usual at this season, are affecting the product. Besides, cold storage has been largely curtailed. Another decline Is looked for. A consignment of 100 cases to the North Is the only conspicuous shipment this "week. Butter Is active with a firmer tendency. There has been some talk of raising extra grade to 37&c, and several dealers are quoting higher than I5c on broken lots of creamery. Indications are that bottom prices are current and that the market hereafter will gradually gather strength. The most important movement of the week was a shipment of 16,000 pounds to Dawson, which has contributed to the steadiness of existing quotations. Orders for store from San Francisco continue to be filled. Chickens are noted a. little higher, but the stiffening Is neutralized by larger receipts. Yesterday the Influx was larger than for some time. The cause of the Improved market is attributed to a casual .shortness of supply Monday, dealers hav ing allowed stocks to run low under In fluence of last week's depression. Ducks and geese have hardly any demand at .all. Turkey hens have a few sales. Sal mon, which hitherto has been one of the most Important products at this season, is very quiet owing to the extreme small ness of the catch. Veal Is somewhat im proved. The market was overstocked last week and the present condition Is merely a reaction. Mutton Is steady, but a little slow of sale. Pork and beef are still j If strong. Receipts of the latter have picked up a little. Hams and lard are unchanged. The vegetable market Is nearly bare hf ana will be so until tomorrow, wnen Cal ifornia supplies will arrive. The first domestic peas of the season -were on sale yesterday at 10c. Rhubarb and asparagus are the only products In full supply. Ore gon strawberries are coming In more plentifully. California are In strong de mand. Full supplies of oranges and bananas arrived yesterday. Tomatoes in "market come from Mexico and Florida. "Wheat The weather continues tb be" the controlling factor in the wheat market, and the only variations in the price are caused by the good or bad reports that are received from day to day. Yesterday was one of the off days in this country, and there was a weak tone all round. On the Pacific Coast the market is af fected also by an advance In freights. Old crop business Is so well taken care of that there remains but little to be done In either wheat or ships. Exporters are ac cordingly paying more attention to pro viding for the new crop, and four to five shillings more Is asked for new crop ships than could be secured for anything for prompt loading. As usual on a dull market It Is difficult to secure an accurate quotation on wheat at tidewater, but the figure generally given out as being near the export value Is 59 cents fur "Walla "Walla. So far as known, no sales .have been made at this figure this week, and it would probably re quire a cent higher quotations to loosen up offerings of any consequence. There does not seem to be any pressing demand for wheat to cover tonnage engagements and the Inability of exporters to buy wheat on present freight rates causes them to refrain from chartering ships. The wheat has been more thoroughly cleaned out of the country than It has been at any corresponding date for the past three years and the season has now reached a point where & considerable de cree of aecnnicv can1 nValtalned in esti mating the crop. TaHngChe shipments as cleared through the custom houses on Puget Sound and at Portland, the eastern, San Francisco and British Columbia ship ments; and adding the stocks now on hand at tidewater, and In the country, and all that can he figured out of the 1900 crop of Oregon, "Washington ana Idaho Is a little over S5.OO0.O00 bushels. Some of the authorities who usually "slough off a few million bushels for chicken feed, etc., will this year make very heavy -Invisible" shipments to the East and will also carry over several hundred thousand barrels of flour at In terior points. This will be quite a dis appointment to the foreign ship owners, who have held rates up to fancy figures under the Impression that It required tonnage to move this vast surplus which never gets out of the hat under which it generates. The fact remains, however, that there Is very little wheat still re maining In the country, and the busi ness from now on until the new crop is ready to move will be of small propor tions. The California crop, which was In such a perilous position a few weeks ago, Is now reported to be practically safe and as high as 75 per cent of a crop Is predicted by some of the dealers la San Francisco. 22c; Java, good, 2024c; Java, ordinary, IStfMOc; Costa Rica, fancy, 1820c; Costa Rica, gooa, lSlc; Costa Rica, ordinary. lfi12c per pound; Columbia roast, 511 o; Arbuckle's, $11 25: Lion. $11 n per case.

It was the pre vailing belief In the market also that the powerful operators, including the most conspicuous one of the group who were so long foremost In the bull mar ket, had turned to the bear side and were selling freely. "Whatever the causes "t work, it was clear that the buying de mand for stocks had fallen to Insignifi cant proportions, and the liquidation even of comparatively light lines caused sudden and rapid melting away of values. There were intervals of the down grade of 1, 2 and even 5 points between sales. A scrutiny of the price changes of the clay will, reveal net losses of between 3, and 6 points for a large number of the principal active stocks. The declines he low laet night's levql reached 15 In Union Pacific; 5 In St. Paul; Delaware &, Hudson, Missouri Pacific and Consoli dated Gas, 6, and Rock Island, 6. The money market was not an influ ence, as there were no large demands for. call loans. In fact, people were mostly converting securities Into money as rapidly as possible. ,For the same reason, the .growing Indifferences of the foreign money situation and the belief that if, will draw largely on New York's money 'supply was viewed with lessened apprehension. The coming Installment of the British "War loan, the expected Issue of the Russian loan at Paris, and the embarrassment feared for the London market by the withdrawal of the French credits are expected to result In a con siderable movement of gold from New York, notwithstanding the easier tone of the exchange market today.

United States refunding 2s and new i's f here today, a state of things in remark-. able contrast -with the recent yells of ex-4 ultatlon and profit. The, stagnation "was universal, and the tone was heavy and depresed. Jobbers refused to deal Until the settlement Is over. Americans were very dull." Such market as there is is simply an arrangement of f accounts, which are completed' by sales Jy weak holders from S to 4 points be low the ruling prices. No big failures are expected now, however. The dealer -whose difficulties were men tioned In previous dispatches was only a champion sculler. He resigns his mem bership as a condition to the arrange ment of his accounts by the referring committee's decision of yesterday in Northern Pacific. The call money rate was 2i per cent. The optimism with which yesterday's settlement of Northern Pacific was hailed disappeared in the general realization that It was. only temporary. Steps are being taken to form an arbitration com mittee to relieve stockbrokers of their difficulties In connection with the. North ern Pacific affair. A representative of one of the largest houses said: ''Unless the Morgans and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. accept some such arbitration nothing can save the London market from a seri ous smash. The temporary arrangement. It Is believed,, may overrun the next set tlement, but not much longer. It is thought the arbitrators might set a fixed price. That would prevent serious fail ures and meet the views of Mr. Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb & Co." Downing, Hopkins & Go4. ETABL15HKD 1803. - . ' " . WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS TRAVELEnS' GUIDE.

The Inherent weakness of the stock market, after last week's ' severe shock to confidence be came obvious today and some violent de clines were caused by a comparatively light, volume of liquidation. The weak ness "was partly due to the fact that the natural rebound after the panic had ex pended Itself. The factors which caused that rebound -were elements of weakness at the higher level of prices. For example, the professional operators who were so fortunate as to secure 6tocks that weie sacrificed at the low level on Thursday were very willing to sell and to take profits when they perceived that the rebound had about reached Its lim its. There was another class, that of the Insiders and friends of various stocks, who bought heavily on Thursday to sup port their favorites In order to protect their values as far as possible. This class was anxious to lighten Its hold ings when the "panic was checked and took advantage of the high level of prices. There was a large amount of be lated liquidation also in today's market on the part of capitalists and operators who were strong enough to hold through the panic and save their property from absolute sacrifice, but who were neverthe less bent on liquidation. The Saturday holiday was taken ad vantage of all through the Wall street district to bring accounts to date and the weak condition disclosed In many cases prompted the closing out of these accounts. This factor would have had more Influence yesterday had It not been for the encouraging effect of the favora ble outcome of the London settlement. The bears also resumed their aggressive mood today and not only offered prices down to take the market from those seeking to liquidate, but were Industri ously circulating alarming rumors of the further consequences to ensue from the conflict in Northern Pacific. It was ob served with apprehension, as Indicating va possible spread of hostile tactics to a general stock market warfare, that brok ers usually supposed to be backed by Standard OH Interests were sellers of so called Morgan stocks, while the supposed Morgan brokers were In evidence when the stocks In the boutnwestern group be gan to give way. This might easily have been a bear maneuver, but It was effec tive In driving prices downward. There were whispered about the exchange also, rumors of . new element of disturbance in the Union Pacific situation. That stock war most prominent in the market all day and its violent break after a period of Strength ttois an effective in fluence in unsettling the whole market. The selling was seemingly for the ac count of Insiders, Judging from the agents employed in executing orders and very large selling orders in this and in other Western railroad stocks came from that portion of the country through Chicago. Boston was also active on the selling side, "With the obvious tendency of the market tc yield, the Investment buvlnsr. which has been more or less Jn evidence j Sugar 130 xenn. coal & iron. 02 Union Bag 13 do pfd 67 TJ.vS..

CHICAGO,, May 14.r-;Wheat opened weak on disappointing cables, July c to c lower at 71c to 7171c. Offerings, were mostly local holdings.. Reports of dam aged crops rh the '"West, Southwest and Nofthwesticfrofh continued dry weather gave' an impetus to the bull element to begin buying, and the-onenlng decline was speedily checked. Then began an upward movement, commission nouses oeing Heavy buyers. The bulk taken, however, was by those who had sold on the open ing depression. The price gradually ad vanced to"72c, when reports of rain In Oklahoma and predictions of rain in Southern Kansas started a reaction. The market fell steadily .to 71c, closing weak and c lower, at 7171c. Corn opened irregular, but under bull manipulation the price soon advanced. It eased off with wheat, July closing firm and a shade lower, at 44c. May corn was inactive, closing firm and 2c higher, at 54c. Oats were strong and-active, with .more trading than either wheat or corn. Poor crop reports and local buying sent the shorts o cover. The close was firm, July c higher, at 27c. Provisions were dull, but strong. In sym pathy with corn and oats. July pork closed 5c -higher, lard 12c higher and ribs a shade higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening.

The Oregonlan in a recent editorial makes a kind reference to statements made, by the writer concerning the degrees of truth by saying that absolute truth 4s Impossi ble of comprehension by a human mind. Certainly no person can hope to know all the truth, but as far as he knows he knows effectively and. also absolutely. For Instance, the human mind Is able to know God as revealed In the universe, in human nature, and in the world. Wef do not com- prehend the Infinite as we comprehend the finite. If we know that- God is, and Is not finite, we know he Is infinite. From this knowledge enlightened men the world over are engaged In the -exercises of rea son. If we are made after the likeness of God, that which we discover in our selves we may apply to God. What Is Jus tice .In ourselves which we know is also justice in an Infinite being. To know that God is implies what kind of a 6od he Is. Our knowledge of God is incom plete in extent, but as far as it goes we absolutely rely upon It. Parting com pany with all dogmatism permit me rev erentlyr to decline to erect altars "to the unknown God." B. J. HOADLEY. New Xame for United States. OREGON -CITY. "May 13. (To the Ed itor.) Has any one suggested a new name for the United States of America? This name seems inadequate for this Republic. What with Cuba, Porto Rico, the Phil ippine Islands ,and very likely a portion of China, with the possible purchase or conquest of other parts of the globe, it seeirj-we should call It at least, United States of the Western Empire, U S.
