THIS MOKJyiKG OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 19U1. 11 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEW Business continued very brisk: yesterday "with the wholesale people, who are still somewhat behind on the orders that banked up during the recent half-holidays. Grocers are especial ly rushed. Country districts are buying freely not only on the strength of their harvest pros perity, but also in preparation for the hop and fruit-curing seasons, now close at hand. Prices are Arm and well maintained, as buyers are gonerally in good shape and well able to meet the market rates. No staple or im portant changes are noted, save that the to bacco trust has seen fit to advance all brands ot pjug tobacco Jc per pound. Some sales of Valley wool are reported, but that staple is about out of Oregon. The hop movement has not yet begun. Groceries, provisions, etc, ar in good trade at quoted prices. Things were somewhat quieter among the commission men after their big rush of Tues day. Vegetables continue to move freely, both In local and export markets. Potatoes, the leader in this class, have shown no disposi tion to come down, and several rather large shipments will be started Eastward this week. Fruits were in abundant supply yesterday save for a temporary scarcity of tho later peaches, which should come in largely from now on. Watermelons continue heavy- There is a glut on ripe pears, and some, lots have been turned off very cheaply. Good shipping stock still command ?11 25 per box. Grapes are a trifle cheaper, the majority ruling from $11 25 per crate. Tomatoes continue abundant. The dairy market is fairly artive and ex ceedingly firm on all staples save poultry. Dealers have large stocks on hand, while re ceipts continue steady, but the demand is vory scanty. There is little or no movement, and outside points have few orders to give. Prices have been cut to Oc per pound for hens and 32c for Springs, live weight. Eggs are Irregular in price, ranging from 21c to 2255c per dozon, but clean up closely. Butter is unchanged and strong, with rumors of an ad vance. Cheese is firm and somewhat higher, though very irregular In price. Fancy stocks command 13c per pound, and from that quota tions range to lie for large lots and second qualities. Clearing? House Statement Exchanges. Balances. Portland $452,055 Seattle .

The local wheat market continues dull in sympathy vriii the markets elsewhere, and while there Is a little business doing all tho time. There is nothing like an active selling movement under way. "Walla Walla Is gen erally quoted at 54 and 55 cents, and Valley and bluestem at a cent higher. Wheat is not so prominently mentioned in the numerous warehouse scraps that are on in the interior. A. week or two ago the fancy figures were paid for oats. Now barley seems to be the cereal storm -center, and at points where com petition is the fiercest, it" is selling above ?16 for feed, which is said to be from 50c to $1 per ton above its export value.

Professional Business, With Western Contingent Taking Part. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Today's stock market was an almost exclusively professional aftalr, with evidence of a participation by the specu lative party which is rather vaguely charac terized as "the Western contingent" by the traders about the Stock Exchange. This party has been active at Intervals in the stock mar ket ever since the crop prospects became an element in the speculation. They continued the sale of stocks this morning, but early be came Impressed with the notable paucity of the offerings which were brought out under th,e pressure they put on the market and re versed their position to the buying side. The free offerings of corn today may have had an Influence on these covering operations. The day's movement of prices seemed largely due, however, to maneuvers by contending pro fessional operators, following yesterday's sharp break, which, in itself, was apparently a test ing operation by the capitalists who have sup ported the market for some time past. They seemed satisfied with their demonstration of the small amount of stock impending over the stock list for dlslodgment and their brokers were large buyers again today, especially of United States Steel "stocks, in which they were Joined by "the Western contingent." Thr.se stocks did not move upward until there had been sharp advances in Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Coal, based upon the assumption that their business was largely Increased as a result of the enforced idleness of United States Steel Corporation works. Chicago Great West ern continued strong on rumors of buying for control In the interest of the Western railroad community of Interest, and the recent large accumulation of Mexican National was una bated today. Tho strong tone permeated the whole market as the day progressed, and the final hour showed many of the market leaders amongst tho grangers, Pacifies, Southwesterns. coalers and specialties from 1 to 2 points over last night's close. Conditions In the monoy and exchange mar kets were practically unchanged. The railroad bond market was dull and narrow. Total sales, par value, $1,480,000. United States bonds were unchanged on tho last call. New York Stocks.- RAILROADS.

Extreme dullness was the only feature in wheat, but, with all the inactivity and the efforts of the bears, there was a strong undertone to tho market, and the close was at the top figures of the day. The opening was a shade easier on Indifferent cables and liberal Northwest receipts. A fair cash demand and comparatively light local re ceipts were bull factors. December opened a shade lower to a shade higher, at 7J71, and In sympathy with coarse grains prices de clined to 70, rallying toward the close, which was c higher, at 71c. A report of drouth in Argentina was a steadying factor. There was very littio business transacted in the corn pit. Trading was mostly for local account, and the market wa3 featureless.

Three years ago tho fluctua tion Vas moro than 17s, caused by the -Spanish-American War and gigantic speculations in the United States. All prices were slightly lower at the end of the year than at tho beginning. Forty-one and five-tenths per cent of tho wheat grown In the year was reported sold in the statutory markets in England and Wales, which were established by the corn re turns act of 1882. These figures are exact, and the average prices thus established are im portant Tithes are based on them yet; as they are only for the best salable grains thpy represent something moro than the roal value of the whole output Tho average price of wheat was 273 ld per 4S0 pounds.

The American Cotton and Wool Repqrter will say tomorrow: It has been a broken week in the wool mar ket owins to the intervention of a holiday. Nevertheless, a good, steady inquiry for wool has prevailed, and the tone of the market has remained firm. The week's business has not been characterized by the selling of many large lines of wool, most of the purchasing having been done by the medium of smaller sized mills, which have taken fair average- sized lots, mostly at good prices. The con sumption of wool is unquestionably larger than it has been for some time, and the wool trade feel that there is going to be an outlet for practically all the wool which is now on hand; that the desirable territorial clips, ao well as those east of the Mississippi, will be wanted, and that a good, steady-going business may be looked for. The receipts of wool in Boston this week amounted to 15,705 bales, against 24,347 balea last week. The total receipts since January 1 have been 470,074 bales domestic and 102,584 bales foreign. The sales of the week In Bos ton amounted to 3,065,000 pounds domestic and 675,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 4,040,000 pounds, against a total of 4,330,000 pounds for the previous week. 6 Shipments of wool for the week ending Sep tember 2 were 5,108,572 pounds. This shows a decrease of 1,488,887 pounds over the ship ments of 6,597,030 pounds for the previous week. Since January 1 the total shipments amount to l72,820l419,Jiounds.

There can be no doubt that during the .past decade food has undergone a steady degradation, and this cannot be without a demoralizing influence upon the human race. It will be noticed that by far the majority of cases of tampering with food relate to the substitution of a cheaper article rather than to the addition of an injurious substance. The common de fense Is that modern conditions of life make substitution a necessity. It is argued, for Instance, that jam or marmalade cannot be made without the addition of glucose which prevents the preserve from crystallizing. Now, long be fore glucose was a household word jams and marmalades were made and very good they were, too, consisting entirely of sugar and fruit. In the same way we are told that beer must be brewed from sugar and that brewing exclusively from malt presents untold difficulties. Again, golden syrup, which used formerly to be tho re fined syrup of molasses, consists largely now of artificial sugar, which is doubtless a more marketable product, but Is not the same thing as cane sugar. Yet, again, we are told that the public demand a perfectly white loaf of bread,-the truth In reality being that machinery has pro duced a roller flour which is an Inferior thing to the now, we suppose, extinct stone-milled flour. Instances of this sort could be multiplied. "We could wish that all those keeping house would make up their minds seri ously to return to the excellent custom of preparing many articles of food for themselves at home. "Who does not ad mit the charm of homemade bread, home-brewed beer, or homemade jam, and sim ply because they are known to be made from an honest formula which has stood the test of time and from good materials which yield a palatable product? Even in the country, good, old-fashioned wheaten bread, with that fascinating brown color of rich wheaten flour, con taining the entire nutritious portions of J the berry" and possessing- that delightful Downing, Hopkins & Co, ESTABLISHED 1S03. EAT hB Room 4, Ground Floor wheaten flavor, now seldom, If ever, char acteristic of bread, is difficult to obtain. The degradation of food is a very seri ous matter and Is bound to lead sooner or later to the degradation ofS the eater. No movement could confer greater bless ing upon the people than that which aimed at bringing about a return to the older and more rational methods of pre paring food. Let us see more of the homemade article than we now see: let us return to more palatable food and to food that will do more good than the machine-made stuffs and the endless series of substitutes. t .

Progress n the liberalization of the Young Men's Christian Association is marked by the adoption of la-ball pool as a game which may be allowed and en couraged in Itb rooms. The experiment has been tried at Hartford. Conn., and at St. Paul, ilinn., and in both the Eastern and the "Western city Its wlstJom has been vindicated. Last February four pool tables were placed in a first-floor room of the association building at Hartford, and given over to the use of all members over 16 years of age, between the hours of 3 and 10 P. 2d. Each player was to pay a cent a- game, so as to remove all tempta tion for gambling. No smoking was per mitted, unwholesome conversation as well as ungentlemanly conduct was forbidden, and, hats must1 be removed these were the only rules enforced. During the first five months about 400 young men availed themselves of these privileges, the num ber of games runn ng from 250 to 3C0 a day. until warm weather came on. Nine tenths of those who frequented the room are said to have learned to play Che game elsewhere, under conditions and influences more or less demoralizing. It is Interesting to learn that the judg ment of candid observers Is overwhelm ingly favorable to the new departure. The Rev. Lewis W. Hicks, a Congrega tional clergyman of Hartford, who has made a thorough study of t.ie matter, tells the Boston Congregationallst that the board of directors, the secretary, and by far the larger number of the active friends of the local association, are con vinced tfhat the pool tables should re main, for these very good reasons: "The young .men frequenting the room have been orderly, a social atmosphere has been created In a pleasant way, numbers have been led to unite with the associ ation, and. so far as known, no harm has come to any one by the experiment." Even more striking is the fact that a majority of the city clergymen give the policy their unqualified approval, wh'.c only two out of seventeen express regret that the experiment has been tried. Pos sibly these may change their position upon learning that the first Indication of feeling about the matter to reach the secretary after the room was opened came In a letter from the mother of ;vo boys, who told of her joy that, whereas they had formerly come home from another poolroom at a very late hour and sat urated with tobacco smoke, they now re turned at a seasonable hour and with no smrll of the weed In their garments. Mr. Hicks expresses the opinion that the day is not far distant when pool will be a regular means for attracting young men to Association rooms everywhere, and the fact that clergymen are coming to indorse such a policy Is gratifying testi mony to the spread of liberal views. TRAVELERS GUIDE. You Can Sleep Like a Top In a Burlington chair car. The air is good; the car Is not TOO warm, and your seat, when adjusted at the proper angle, is nearly as comfortable as a couch. Cover yourself with an overcoat or shawl, get a pillow from the porter and there you are. At 10:30 the HghtSs are lowered, " and from that time" until morning the car Is almost as quiet as your own room at home. Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and EVBRYAVHERE be yond.
