THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1901.
COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS
The promise of a big yield of wheat, "which
is already near the ripening stage In some
localities, has caused a little freer selling
movement of the old stock remaining on hand
and has assisted In keeping-up the circulation
of money at a. season when there is usually
no business In the cereal. The greatest fac
tors In trade Just at present, however, are
the lively movement In wool and the harvest
of one of the largest crops of berries ever
produced in the state.
Thtre has been no Improvement in the price
of wool, but many of the holders have become
tired of waiting for better prices, and are
hastening to unload and make room In the
warehouses for the coming crop of wheat.
There Is some Improvement In the salmon run.
but the pack Is still far short of that of last
year. The activity in logging and lumbering
is unbroken, and while the mill men make
some complaint of small profits, the busln.es
shows a volume never before reached In this
state. Most of the smaller products of the
farm are still bringing good prices, eggs and
butter both being firm for good stock. In
poultry there is considerable weakness. Cali
fornia and Oregon fruit "are both becoming
more plentiful.
"WHEAT Portland exporters are paying 80
cents for "Walla "Walla wheat, and this figure
is bringing out some small lots which have
been held for months in thchope of & better
market. The prospects for an enormous yield
not only on the Pacific Coast, but all over
the country, are so good that it Is a difficult
matter to figure out much of an advance In
prices very soon, unless the European -crops
continue to make a bad showing. The June
fleet, which is the last of the season's fleet,
has all cleared, and we are going over Into
the new season with considerable wheat at
tidewater. Most of this has been accumulated
for ships which have been delayed in reaching
Tjort. but aside from the- stocks on hand to
meet tonnage engagements, there Is enough
to load a ship or two if the vessels could be
obtained cheap enough to admit of a profit.
There has ben an easier feeling in freights
recently, and while It is not reflected In distant
tonnage, the latest engagements for near-by
"business have been at much lower rates than
were quoted six weeks ago. Steamers as yet
.have not cut much of a. figure In the business,
no" charters of the tramps being, reported for
several weeks. "While there is no such amount
of wheat on hand at the present time as
there was a year ago, the July shipments will
be larger than those of last year, and with
an early harvest the old season will trail
Tight into the new without much interruption.
The Eastern market continues very dull, on ac
count of fine crop prospects. An Eastern trade
paper has the following to say regarding the
situation:
"Wheat prospects are nothing short of brll
11a.., r.AItlnn TrtflV fllMTltr VM"V THUCh fOT
the worse and still admit of one of the two
or three largest crops ever raised. In the
southern part of the wheat belt the harvest
will begin very soon; there Is not much time
for anything to happen In Kansas, where there
is every prospect of a crop much larger than
that of last year, which was the largest ever
harvested. It did not reach the 100,000.000
buehel point, as was expected early in the
Spring, but that estimate last year was made
nearly two months earlier than the present
date. Kansas is now so near the harvest that
the state Is appealing for men to gather It.
The prospects In France are said to be pretty
good, but the accounts are not all one way;
In England and Germany the crops will not
be up to the average; so that heavy Importa
tion Is probable. It 1b said that Russia is
likely to have a large crop, but not very much
is known about Russian crops tell they have
been gathered and. consumed.
Th6 past week, according to the Cincinnati
Price Current, has been more than usually
favorable for all growing crops, and reports
of more, or less Improvement have been the
rule. There is practically & cessation of com
plaints of drouth damage to the growing
wheat, and while there continue to be scat
tering reports of insect damage, they are
scarcely more serious than heretofore. The
prospects of a bountiful wheat harvest are
more assuring than a week or two weeks ago.
The grains are said to be filling well. Harvest
will become general In about two weeks.
Rapid progress has been made In cultivating
the growing corn, and fields are pretty well
cleaned: but growth la backward and much
replanting has been necessary. Complaints of
.cut worms and wire worms are rather nu
merous, and the stand of the crop is more
or less irregular. However, considerable im
provement has been made during the past
week, and the crop may yet turn out satis
factorily. Oats also Improved somewhat dur
ing the week, but the condition Is so low
that an average crop cannot be expected.
""TOOL Shearing reports from different parts
of the state would Indicate that the 1001 wool
tllp was about the best on record In both
quality and else, and the sales In the past
week have been more numerous. Indicating a
lack of faith In better prices later On. Prices
show no change since last week, and conserva
tive operators In this city do not look for any
immediate Improvement. The situation In the
East Is thus reviewed by the New York Jour
nal of Commerce under date of June IS:
The wool market during the past week has
shown little If any change. Reports to hand
regarding the .new clip In the principal, sheep
T&lslng states are very favorable, both as to
size and condition of the clip, dn many
ranches the shearing is about completed, and
a yield somewhat larger than the one pre
ceding Is assured. Not only Is the quantity
larger this season, but the quality Is stated
to be better, and wool so much cleaner that
losses In scouring will be less than usual.
Some reports are to the effect that growers
have alreadr sold a considerable portion of
1 their wool, but In the majority of cases there
is no desire to accept current prices. Buyers
are very little troubled by the tendency to
refuse offers which are In the neighborhood
of a cent lower than a month ato, and are
of the opinion that even easier terms may be
secured later. ,
In the local market the demand during the
s weeK nas Deen very iignu inwe wenu iu uc
a feeling among dealers, however, that before
market forujipHes. No one cares to say,
though, whether this will be next week or the
week after, but It Is believed that as soon
as the manufacturer knows what to do In
light weights he will be compelled to com
1 into the market. A good many hare been able
to get through the heavy-weight season with
out replenishing, but at present they have
little with which to go forward, and as soon
.as they begin on their next season they will
find it necessary to replenish. This state of
affairs" Is Indicated by the fact that there has
been a greater number of inquiries for wool
this week than for some time. Sample bags
have been disposed of to some extent, and
dealers are now awaiting the result.
A very large sale took place at Shanlko
"Wednesday, at which approximately 1,000.000
pounds were disposed of. at prices tanging
from 10 to 12&C This wool was of extra
grade, perhaps the best In Eastern Oregon,
and the kind that manufacturers are using
almost exclusively at present. There Is still
a large quantity left at Shanlko. This sale
was the most Important deal that has taken
place In the Northwest this year. Valley wools
continue without Improvement.
HOP3 There Is no business In old stock,
principally because there Is such a small
amount of the product still on hand that no
one cares to bother with It. New crop con
tracting is still being done in a small way.
Jn spite of a fine prospeet for a record-breaking,
crop on the. Pacific Coasts which might
mean lower prices. As high as lli and 12
cents Is paid for new season bops, and quota
tion on old are nominally unchanged. The
condition of the crop In Orejron Is well-nigh
perfect. The situation In. New York Is thus
reported by the Cooperstown Farmer of
June 14:
There has been between 150 and 200 bales
bought here since our' last Issue at from
14 to 15 cents. The warm weather of the
past few dajs has been very beneficial to the
Krowing vines, wnica nsu Dcguu iu icci me
effect of the continued cold and wet weather.
As the season advances it becomes more and
more apparent that old yards are In a worse
condition so far as miss and weak hills are
concerned than was at first supposed. Our
reports, which cover practically the whole of
the hopgrowlng section of this county, are to
the effect that there are many old yards that
are not worth working, and that the vine this
year, will be exceedingly light.
EGGS AND BUTTER Eggs have advanced
about 5c in 10 days, and have reached about
l'Vic although dealers are a little apprehen
sive of that figure. Any further advance
would probably encourage the taking of eggs
out of storage, which were put away when
th ruling price was 12c Under present high
prices the market appears to sustain itself
well, and to be Just as firm as after the other
frequent rises that have occurred lately. The
Sanger is recognized of boosting the product
too high, for It Is quite apparent that country
dealers are holding back supply, and there Is
apprehension that after the present buoyancy
has spent Itself the product will come with a
rush, causing' a relapse. However, the ad
vance so far has been In response to actual
condrtl6ns, and dealers have cautiously fol
lowed it, because of the force of the market.
No merchant has large supply, so that sales
are made In small quantities. The local mar
ket consumes all offerings, and therefore out
ward shipments have practically ceased for
the present.
Butter continues In satisfactory market In
creamery, but store grade is quite weak, ow
ing to light outside demand. Warm weather
makes dealers keep stocks out of the way as
much as 'possible. The quality of best grade
Is recognized to be at Its best, and production
to be at its maximum quantity. "Warm
weather may give a firmer tone to the prod
uct, but no advance is expected at present.
Cheese remains steady although weak.
POULTRY Poultry Is the trial of dealers
Just now, receipts being In excess of aitual
demand, but kept out of the way by low
prices. The ruling price Is S3 50 for best
chickens. Hens and Springs are the only
kind wanted. Geese, ducks and. turkeys are
almost without sale.
STRAWBERRIES This fruit- Is gradually
rising In price, the height of , the season now
being over. The product was In greatest sup
ply Monday, and has since been lessening In
quantity. This has taken everybody by sur
prise, and many who were holding off from
buying now And prices moving away from
them. This has been a long strawberry sea
son, 'owing to prolonged cool weather, so that
all the product did not come" Into market at
once, as often heretofore.
POTATOES Oregon potatoes, are very scarce
and would undoubtedly go to a high figure If
Caltforrlla -new "product did not hold them down.
The current price paid for home potatoes
ranges about $1 50 per sack.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES These are in
abundant supply. California provides the bulk
of the former, and Oregon keeps Itself sup
plied with the other. Imported peaches, plums
and apricots are plentiful but a little slow
of sale. Domestic cherries are on hand In
large quantity, but best grade has not yet
begun to come in. Rhubarb is a little less
.plentiful and firmer.
OATS More oats are offered and the market
is regarded less firm than It was. Prices are
still unchanged. The prospect of a large crop
this season has caused the old product to ease
up. It is not., expected that any change will
occur at present, unless the Government should
call for a quantity.

The wheat market was quiet yesterday In
sympathy with markets in other directions.
Now that the prospect for a big crop In the
Northwest is Improving, thero is a little more
of a disposition to clan up old stocks which
have been held for higher prices, and dealers
are accordingly having but little difficulty in
securing enough to meet all requirements. Al
though the European market was Inclined to
weakness, no change has been made locally,

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Opening Prices "Were at the Hlftaest
Average Level oi the Day.
"NEW YORK, June 20. Opening prices of
stocks were at the highest average level of
the day, and all rallies, of which there were
several of some slight force, were met by re
newed realizing, which drove prices down
ward. After the opening spurt, there were
developments of strength here and there In
individual stocks, but they were In the class
of securities that usually have little prom
inence In tho trading, and were without great
-sympathetic influence on the list. The descent
from the opening high level was considerable,
but. the selling pressure showed a tendency
to diminish when prices got down to about
last night's, level. In fact, there was no se
vere pressure to sell at any time, and the
market rather reflected the disposition of the
class of large speculators to refrain from op
erations, and let the market lie fallow during
the period of doubt regarding the capacity of
the money market to afford resources for spec
ulation between now and the turn of the half
yearly period.
Notable Shrlnkngre.
The volume of dealings showed a notable
shrinkage, and a fell below the hair-mllllon
share mark, which Is the lowest level touched
since the Presidential election. Even this mea
ger aggregate was largely dependent on the
congested dealings In a few stocks, notably
Amalgamated Copper. This stock was under
pressure .ill day, and fell an extreme 3 un
der last night, with a final rally of 2 points
on the declaration of the customary 1 per
cent quarterly dividend, and per cent extra.
This selling le said to be in large part duo
Co arbitrage operations against bulng of
stocks eligible for exchange. Colorado Fuel
continued Its sensational fluctuations, falling
at one time 6 points under last night, and 2S',4
under the high price of Monday, but rallying
at the last to a point above last night. Gen
eral Electric was bought, on the reported ac
quisition of the British Thomson-Houston Com
pany, and, the stock being In light supply,
the buying lifted It 15 points by wide Jumps.
There woe persistent strength In Minneapolis
& St. Louis and the Iowa Central stocks,
which roe 4 to ii on rumors or a merger ami
final absorption by the Illinois Central. The
strength of Chicago Great Western was based
on a feeling that the settlement of the West
ern railroad situation will necessitate its con
trol. The Money Situation.
The early strength of the market, In sym
pathy with London, was clearly due to the Im
provement there of the monetary situation
the government making haste to redlburse the
sources of Tuesday's Installment of consol sub
scriptions. Doubts, however, continue over the
local money situation. The Subtreasury has
already taken from" the market, this week,
$2,300,000, which Includes the payments for
tho gold exported. The sale at auction at
Washington today to satisfy a Government Hen
of the Sioux City & Pacific Railway Company
to the Chicago & Northwestern will Involve
the further payment to the Government of
nearly $2,000,000. although a period of 20 days
Is permitted. The rise In. New York jexchange
at Chicago to 23 cents premium per thousand
shows that the Interior is responding to the
pressure for funds at New York. The heavy
requirements Incident to the unprecedented
Interest and dIUdend disbursements on July
1, which must be met next week, admonish to
continued caution In overstraining the money
market for speculative purposes. This and the
subsidence of the talk regarding the St. Paul
Union Pacific deal sufficiently explain the dull
ness and heaviness of the speculation.

THE IRON TRADE.
Purchniiett of PiK Iron Have Given a

CLEVELAND, June 20. The Iron Xraue lie
vlew, discussing market conditions this week,
says:
Purchases of pig iron, chiefly bessemer, in
tho Pittsburg district, by two Important con
sumers, hae given a better tone to the mar
ket, and there are indications that It is on
the verge of a buying movement. Upwards of
100.0UU tons of bebsemer and gray iorge iron
were taken in the week's purchases, dtihenej
for tho majority of tho tonnage extending only
tnrough the next two month. A better feel

Thero Is no douot as to the record-breaking

which -will be watched with interest
throughout the cpuntry. A similar at
tempt made at Harvard, about 20 years
ago, proved a failure. The incumbent
of the chair was a learned Chlncee gentle
man, but he could find very few students
sufficiently Interested In his courses to
elect them. As a result, he lived In schol
arly ease for several years. After hU
death the work in Chinese was dropped.
That first 'allure, however, may have
been due to the fact that our relations
with China were not then close enough
to make It worth while for many men to
become proficient In Chinese literature
and history. Today the situation has
greatly changed. This Nation already ha
large territory near China, and ifi likely
to have more and more to do with Chln'i
In the way of travel, trade and diplo
macy. It may well be, then, that although
Chinese will not become In any sense pop
ular at Columbia, enough men will take
It to warrant the maintenance of the
courses. The anonymous founder of the
chair makes an Interesting point in his
letter of gift. In which hp urges the Im
portance to us of a fuller knowledge of
Chinese religion. Such knowledge would
undoubtedly be of great value to all our
missionaries--In the East. One serious
difficulty with Christian mission work has
admittedly been the Ignorance of our mis
sionaries in regard to the religions of the
peop!e among whom they have labored.
They have devoted their energies to the
mastery of Christian theology, and have
too often proceeded on the supposition
that all other religious systems were
nothing but crude superstitions. A Co
lumbia course In the various religions of
China, or, better still, an exhaustive
course on comparative religions, would
help make our missionaries wiser and
more useful, though perhaps humbler,
Christians.

Korelgrn Financial "Verra.
NEW YORK. June 20. The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
Speculation on the Stock Exchange today watt
dormant and prices dwindled. American stocks
begun the day strong, under the leadership
of 8t. Paul. Union Pacific and Atchison. The
latter war talked of in connection with the
120 per cent crop report from Kansas. The
first halt hour exhausted the buying' demand,
and, us New York turned a seller of St. Paul,
the Improvement was comparatively short-lived,
and there was a flat finish.
Money continues easy, with rates practically
unchanged. The Bank Of England has received
72,000 in gold bars and has bought 39,000 in
Hong Kong. The Banks of Bengal and Bom
bay haye reduced the discount rate 1 per cent,
to 5 per cent.

CHICAGO, June 20. A momentary" firmness
prevailed In the wheat pit at the opening, oc
casioned by reports of a great scarcity of
wheat in France, together with higher cables.
Reports of good prospects for a heavy har
vest, however, easily of set these bull features
and "caused a deBlre to selj for future deliver
les. Holders of July were also anxious to liqui
date, and, the decline In that month carried
September with It. The .trading opened a. shade
higher, at Ok,c; but dropped toj08c, on rnodi
