THE MOUSING- .ORECTONTATnT. WEDNESDAY. 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.

for the last day or two, was largely
withdrawn in line hope of getting stocks
later at lower prices. 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.
Bonds became weak In sympathy with
stocks after an early show of strength.
Total sales, $2,870,000.
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."

Violent Declines Kollovretl Compara
tively Light Liquidation.
NEW YORK, May 14. 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

Chicago Grain and Provlaiona.
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.

Concerning: Truth.
PORTLAND, May 14. (To the Editor.)
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. W. E.
' J. A. MOEHMKE.
The cures a medicine makes are the
proofs of its merit, and Hood's Sarsa
parilla makes the most.
