Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1901. 13 COMMERCIAL AND Better weather and a good local demand for the Saturday trade kept -wholesalers busy yes terday, with country orders by no means few In number or email In proportions. Price changes were few. Wheat paused In Its up ward rush, but quotations are not much lower. Receipts of aresped hogs were again heavy, and but few of th6se received sold over 6c. Ore gon eggs were firm at 30c. but Eastern and cold storage were still Inclined to drag. Sweet potatoes are temporarily firmer, but the Oregon Burbanks show no signs of firmness, although offerings are pot excessively large. Apples and grapes continue to drag and the hawkers are depended on to clean up the bananas. Lard is c higher. Dank Clearing. Exchnsres.

The wheat market paused In Its sky-rockety movement yesterday, and while It did not ex actly suffer a relapse, there was much less dis position to do business than was shown on the day previous. J' "t of the exporters In this city had their i;.its down to 00c, and refused to go above that figure for Walla Walla, al though there were the usual reports that frac tionally elghor prices were being paid. The strength of freights has had a tendency to chck too much bullishness" In the local mar ket, and a large ship was fixed yesterday for January-February loading at 3Cs 3d, with 37s 6d refused for a smaller one. The wheat mar ket has been assisted In Infusing strength in freights by an advance In nitrate freights, and the situation is firmer than it has been for the past six weeks, although Its firmness is fcaraly warantedby statiEtlcs.

Pears of Money Stringency Precipi tated Active Selling. NEW TORK. Dec C. Fears of money strin gency gained the upper hand in the stock mar ket today and precipitated active selling throughout trp list Tho bears were active and energetic In taking the market away at each recurrence of signs of selling, and their buying to cover at frequent intervals caused many Irregular rallies and checks to the de cline. The demand quickly fell away on these rallies, and the activity In the market was re newed only when prices began to give way again. The apparent running out of the recent specu lative movement In Manhattan, and the conse quent realizing of the longs was a feature of FINANCIAL NEWS the market, Thu stock made an effective rally from the point where the bears in their ag gressive onslaught placed It. In the latedcal lngs the stock fell to 135. representing an extreme decline of 7X- At the same time Amal gamated Copper, which had fluctuated rather sluggishly all day, took a downward plunge to C0, compared with Its previous low record of 71. This unsettled the whole market and made the closing active and easy, but with the selling pressure much less acute in the general list than In the stocks named. The deposit at the Subtreasury for transfer to the interior of $1,000,000 completed the fright over the money prospect, which had been gathering force all day, with the contemplation of the preliminary figures of the week's currency movement. It appeared from these that the banks had gained on the Interior movement by more than $1,500. 000 up to last night, thus seeming to offset that far the week's loss to the Subtreasury. which footed up last night $7,115,000. Of the week's loss to the Subtreasury, nearly $3,000,000 represents deposits of legal tenders to retire circulation and withdraw Government bonds. These bonds have not been offered for redemption, and there is lacking this offset to the decrease In the circulation. The payment for the $2,000,000 gold exported Is also Included In the Subtreasury operations. New York exchange at Chicago, which fell to 50c discount at one timo yesterday stiffened to 30c discount today as a result of the currency shipment. These unexpected demands upon the local mon ey supply were reflected In calling of loans and marking up of money rates. Banks marked up their call loan rate over the counter to 5 per cent, and exercised stricter discrimination as to Industrial collateral. The easier tone of the foreign exchange market was lost sight of In this new development, although It promised relief from the further gold exports threatened next week. A rise In the money rate will help to prevent geld exports, but not to the relief of specula tive borrowers on call. The few stocks which made a show of strength during the morning succumbed to the weakness. Losses of 103 points were made by the majority of prominent active stocks. General Electric, after rising to 2S5i. broke to 280'4 on declaration of only the regular quarterly dividend, and then fluctuated wildly above the lowest. Bonds were easier In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,039,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Closing: Stock Quotations. DESCRIPTION. ? f 2 I : 2- r Atchison 24,100"79l4 "tT?!

Dec a The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Continued cheerfulness dominated the stock market today. The capture of Boer war pris oners Inspired a feeling of optimism, and con sols rose sharply to 82, on a rumor that the government will borrow no more on consols, but rather will issue a guaranteed Transvaal loan. American stocks were absolutely idle. A bad New York bank statement Is expected to morrow, and New York came flat. The close was at the worst, with London Indifferent. Copper slumped to 55 a ton, but Rio Tlntos remain at 42. WHEAT WBXT STILL HIGHER. Heavy Cnrb Trading Revealed a Big; Shortage in the Pit. NEW YORK, Dec 6. The regular session of the grain markets did not provide much ex citement today, but curb trading after the close of the regular market was one of the heaviest In months, and revealed a shortage among pit traders that exceeded all calcula tions. So vigorous was this demand from scalpers who had been hounding the market all day In a vain effort to force liquidation by outsiders that May wheat Jumped from S3c to S5c, representing the highest point on tho crop. Corn sold up sharply, but failed to rsaeh Its previous high point of 72c for May. Chicago Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, Dec 0. A continuation of the bull demand In wheat today brought good ad vances at the opening, but profit-taking, dull trade, poor cables and outside declines soon caused a sharp slump. Late In the day strength at St. Louis and buying orders from the Southwest started general buying again. Dur ing the last 20 minutes of trading prices jumped forward and back c Though all the advances were not held, the close of the pit was very firm. May opened Sc up, at 80i?SOc: sold to 80c; fell to 70; reacted and closed firm, c up. at 790SOc Corn was moderately active and sfady, trad ing being limited to local interests. Ther was a lack of outside support, and fears of an Increased country movement and slackened shipping demand induced many holders to real ize. Toward the close the wheat strength helped materially, but the closing figures were only steady. Mar closed a shade higher, at 67c: Oats had a comparatively small trade over a narrow range with almost featureless opera tions. May closed firm, c higher, at 45c Provisions were dull and steady. January pork closed 710c higher; lard 2c up and ribs unchanged. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening. Hlgheit. Loweft. Closing.

The volume of outstanding bank notes in this country and in the Dominion pn the first of this month, six months- ago, and a year ago. Is shown by these fig ures: United States. Canada. October 1. 1001 $355,830,548 $56,027,40 April 1. 1901 350,101.406 47,611.97 October 1, 1900 328,416.428 50,307,070 The percentage of Increase In the year Is not radically different In the two coun tries. In Canada it was a little over 11 per cent, and In this country under 10. ThSfl difference Is sometWng, and Its significance Is much Increased by the fact that the Increase In this country was largely due to new legislation, while in Canada It was due simply to the progress of trade The difference between the banking sys tems of the two countries will appear more consplcuouply if we compare the circulation April 1 with that six months earlier and elx month"? later. April 1 Is not the date of smallest currency re quirements; Spring trade Is in progress and the need of currency Is considerably greater than at a date nearer to the be ginning of the year. But It Is convenient to take a date just midway between the latest date and the corresponding date of last year; It Is sufficient to show the ex pansion and contraction of Canadian cur rency. From October 1, 1900, to April 1, 1901, the Canadian circulation decreased nearly 6 per cent; from the latter date to Octo ber 1, 1901, when the need of currency to handle the crops waa nearlng Its maxi mum, the circulation Increased about 17.7 per cent. In this country, between Octo ber 1. 1900, and April 1. 1501, the circula tion did not decrease, but Increased 7 per cent; between that date and the first of this month, when the currency needs were at or near their maximum, the In crease of circulation was not quite 2.5 per cent. In the Dominion the contraction and expansion of the currency followed the normal movement of trade; In this country there was no appreciable connec tion between the volume of trade and the volume of circulation; the currency in creajjed during tho six months that the need of It decreased, and then It increased very slightly during six months when tVo Increase of business was marked and the Treasury was appealed to to avert a strin gency In the money market. The contrast could be made more strik ing by taking extreme figures In the case of Canada. The Canadian bank circula tion at its highert point last year and at about Its lowest point in the present year was as follows: November 1, 1900 $53,19S.777 February 1, 1901 45,025,305 The automatic contraction of the cur rency, as the need of currency declined, exceeded 15.3 per cent. Between the lat ter date and ths first of this month there was an automatic expansion of over 24.4 per cent, and the figures of last year In dicate the maximum expansion is not reached till the end of this month. We have on a previous occasion pre sented the average bank circulation of Canadian banks for the first and last four months of each year for eight years, showing with absolute regularity In creases of from 10 to 29 per cent in the Autumn over the Winter, followed with equal regularity by decreases of from 9 to 14 per cent In the Winter as compared with the previous Autumn. During the same eight years there was no such movement In our own bank circulation; the decreases never reached 2 per cent; the Increases only twice exceeded 4 per cent, and there was no suggestion of regu lar alternation In the periods of Increase and decrease. A circulation based upon bond security does not respond to the varying needs of business; one baso upon banking assets -does. The circula tion of the Canadian banks Is S3 per cent of their paid-up capital; the latest report of the Controller of the Currency snows the circulation of our banks to have been Downing, Hopkins & Co. ESTABLISHED 18O0. WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor 45 per cent of the paid-up capital. Tho Canadian banks lend their resources to their customers, and our banks lend them to the Government. A MEXICAN ESTIMATE. Ho-rr Roosevelt I Viewed In Our Slater Republic. Mexican Herald. President Roosevelt Is a hummer. On Sunday morning he goes to church and In the afternoon takes a "constitutional" which makes the detectives, set to watch over him, tiro their legs out. And as he walks much on week days also the de tectives are rapidly becoming sprinters. With brain refreshed, he returns to the Casa Blanca to discuss matters of state nnd to do some work on his forthcoming message. It will be Rooseveltlan; he can no more keep his strong and. masterful and brilliant personality from asserting itself than he can avoid breathing. The promise he made to follow the McKInley policy he made in all good faith; but events shape men and policies, and where Is there the man who can say. to any any one's satisfaction, what President McKInley would have done had a Euro pean movement against the United States or South America been set on foot? That he would have acted In the highest spirit of patriotism no one can doubt, but it would not have been exactly the Roose velt way. The world public which reads the news papers from Hong Kong to Liverpool, and from Moscow to Buenos Ayres, will scan the message which President Roosevelt will send to the United -States Congress six weeks from now. It I3 predicted that he will urge appropriations for a large Navy, that he will deal vigorously with the question of ship-subsidies, and touch on reciprocity. As Interesting a figure on the broad stage of the world as that other ruler of genius, the German Emperor, President Roosevelt Is the man the great public regards with something like a sympathetic Interest, for, after all, the world is to the young. Plenty of work of first-class importance has been cut out In the high region where Providence ar ranges affairs for his sturdy young soldier statesman to do. His powerful individual ity Is shown ever day; he "turns down" United States Senators who recommend Improper appointments, he sends for a colored educator to consult with him, he shows his preference for a good Democrat over a bad Republican, he sticks iron bars Into party machines, and does it all with good nature, resoluteness and an immense and manly joy, the joy of he healthy nature which finds keenest pleasure In hard work. All the politicians with fat around tho heart, much puffincss, soft muscles and brains full of small intrigue, begin to curse Roosevelt under their breath. He will defeat them all, rally a big and husky American crowd around him. and gallop over tho wrecks of National and local political machines and the corpses of the wirepullers In a surprising way. Political traditions, pleasing courtesies and recipro cations, all the consecrated fusslness of the party leaders, will find little heed from Roosevelt. And the rougher ho rides over them the better will Americans, who are not making politics a business, like him. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. C S Morris, NY W H Payne. St Louis L B Edwards.
