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.

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.

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
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.

Foreign Financial Xexvs.
NEW YORK. 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.

AN ELASTIC CURRENCY.
Example of CanUan System Seems
to Point a Moral.
New York Journal of Commerce.
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

45 per cent of the paid-up capital. Tho

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.
