COMMERCIAL AND
Portland bank clearings for the first three
Jay of the current week were over $2,000,000,
the largest on record Tor a corresponding pe
riod. These figures are a good Index to the
condition of trade In this city, for In nearly
every line all previous records "have been bro
ken. Not only is there an enormous demand
for seasonable luxuries, but the demand for
staples Is in excess of anything heretofore re
ported for the first weeks In December. The
upheaval In wheat 1b, of course, responsible for
considerable of this Increase In business, but
the decline In the cereal In the past two days
has not served to check general trade In the
tdlghtest degree. Among othr products, there
Is firmness In oats, barley, dried fruits, butter,
poultry and eggs. Fruit and potatoes are weak
er, and veal and pork are also easier. The
movement In hops has been lighter since the
bulk of the crop has passed out of first hands,
but there Is not much Improvement In prices.
3roctrles are steady, with no change In prices.
"WHEAT After three or four days of decided
ttrength, with rapidly climbing prices, the
wheat market paused Monday, and on Tuesday
md "Wednesday a good proportion of the ad
vance oozed out, and left the market decidedly
"sloppy." On the height of the bulge, some
pretty extravagant prices were paid In this
market, and even yesterday the decline was
hardly as pronounced as It was In other mar
kets. Most of the exporters were quoting 60
K5c. with others willing to venture 61c for
Walla Walla, but very little coming out at
these prices. Some Valley was bought when
the price touched C2c. but elnce the decline
there has been very little doing. When the
price touched 50c to the farmer, some pretty
liberal selling was reported all over the inte
rior, and north of Snake River, where the
freight rate made 50c impossible, holders also
let go quite freely. So much wheat was Fold
on this bulge that exporters were obliged to
rustle for more tonnage, and the demand forced
rates up to the highest figure that has been
demanded for the past two months.
Some Fhlpowners have, apparently, too much
confidence in the wheat market, and have
placed a figure on their ships that may not be
reached again this season. There is an unusu
ally large amount of tonnage In sight, but so
much wheat has been bought that It Is believed
that the most of it Is pretty well covered. At
the same time, there will not be enough more
chips needed to warrant the payment of fancy
figures for them. Portland and other Northern
ports have drawn so heavily on the west coast
of South America for ballast tonnage that ni
trate freights have stiffened up a little. The
late advance In freights being out of propor
tion to the advance In wheat opened a way for
some selling In the East, and at least two
round lots were shipped from Idaho to points
east of Utah, while a number of. smaller lots
were shipped Into Utah. There Is a big demand
for feed all through the East and Middle "West,
and the high price of corn has helped barley
growers In the Pacific Northwest to such an
extent that none of their barley has been float
ed for Europe for the past six weeks.
The San Francisco market has not been very
bullish on either freights or wheat. The Bul
letin of the 8th prints the following:
The stock of wheat In the stato on December
1, as reported by the Produce Exchange, was
12.023.CS0 centals, against 12.401.8S0 centals for
the taae date in 1000. There was also at that
time 144,108 barrels of flour. In view of these
conditions, we did not hesitate to say that,
with the usual receipts from Oregon and Wash
ington, in connection with the visible stocks la
the state, there was a surplus of OoO.OOO short
tons (Including flour) for export. But this did
not prove to be the case. The exports from
December 1. 1000. to June 1. 1001, were 320.840
short tons, which would have left a stock on
hand of about 275,000 tons, whereas the stock
rt ported by the Produce Exchange for June 1,
lull, was only 213,562 tons. Including flour re
duced to wheat. Some allowance must be
made, however, for flour sent away on Govern
ment account, which Is not reported m the com
mercial statistics of the port. There is no
reed to carry over more than 50.000 tons of
w bUT next. June. Jn which event we could ship
at least 475,000 from December X, 1001, to
June 1, 1902. It Is by no means certain that we
shall do as well as that in the Interval. The
actual quantity to go forward will be deter
mined on the price abroad and the tonnage
available to take the wheat.
To handle the above amount of wheat and
the exportable portion of 220,000 short tons of
barley in the stato on the date mentioned, San
Francisco had listed to arrive, suitable for
wheat, 1C5.000 tons net register, and about 65.
000 tons In port, a total of 230.000 tons net
register, with a carrying capacity of over 350,
000 long tons. As the exports last season, with
almost exactly the same amount of wheat on
hand, December 1, were only 325.000 short tons
between December 1 and June 1, It Is easy to
understand the lack of confidence that San
Francisco Is showing In freights. A similar
state of affairs will soon be In evidence In the
North, for an unusually large proportion of
the crop has already been provided for.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of November 26, has the following regarding
the foreign crop situation:
Argentina The weather on the whole has con
tinued favorable, but our cable of today reports
further slight damage from hail in Santa Fe.
t"e is some disposition to raise crop esti
mates for wheat, but our own agent has not
cabled any alteration of his recent estimate.
Australasia We have no fresh crop news, but
several more vessels have been chartered to
carry the new crop, which Is a good omen, for
people should now begin to have some Idea of
what the crop Is likely to turn out.
Indla-The Viceroy reports no Improvement
In the crop outlook, for. although some rain has
fallen, it has not been In the drouthy regions.
There Is, however, yet time for wheat sowings
in the late districts In which the Punjab
must be included, and the smallness of the
numbers at present in receipt of relief is quite
noticeable.
France Conditions are satisfactory, but dry
and colder weather is now wanted. Some peo
ple still think that wheat will have to be Im
ported for home consumption next Spring, and
country markets keep very steady.
Germany Wet. stormy weather, with mild
temperature, has generally prevailed, and the
crops are now considered strong enough to sup
port the rigors of an ordinary Winter. At the
end of last week there was a change and
light frost occurred. Some snow fell recently,
but soon disappeared.
HOPS The hop market remains dull, with an
easy feeling. The amount of hops still unsold
in this state is hardly large enough to warrant
a very active movement, and the most of the
sales reported are around 0c andBVJc. East
ern markets do not seem very strong, and most
of the reports are to the effect that brewers
are keeping out of the market. The New York
Journal of Commerce, under date of December
5, has the following:
The export trade has been a great deal bet
ter than was originally expected, according "to
large operators, who express surprise that Eng
land Is buying American hopf at almost double
the rrice at which she can obtain serviceable
goods grown at home. Notwithstanding the
large movement In our market, it is asserted
by those well Informed that dealers will this
year all lose money. Commenting on this phase
of the question, a prominent member of the
trade said: "It seems to have been decreed
Cat brewers must buy their hops for less
money than the grower can raise them for. and
tho dealers were created to make this possi
ble." The Watervlll Times of December 3 has the
following: "There seems to be considerable
nctiv.ty among the growers to get their hops
on the market, but the prices offered are not
icry tempting, and but few sales have occurred.
The following are reported: Jewett & Jenny. 59
bales, at 12c: Brogan & Dunn. 33, at lOVc
John Foley. 22. at a little less than lie: Thom
as Dolan. 13. at 114c; Michael Tra-Is. 15 at
lie. Carney & Northrup, 54. at HUc- S N
Bishopp. 13 at lie."
, POTATOES AND ONIONS-If there Is any
Fuch pronounced shortage of potatoes In the
East and Middle West as has been reported,
the Pacific Coast is certainly falling to get a
show at that market, for the only demand for
Oregon potatoes that has thus far appeared has
been In the local field, and in a small way for
shipment to San Francisco. Receipts have not
been very large, the weather holding them
back, and yet about the best price that can
be secured for Burbanks Is, 70c to 00c per
cental. Some dealers predict better prices
later on, but at present the market 1b very
sick. Onion; are doing a little better than po
atoes. but they are by no means as firm as
they were earlier in the season. Most of the
FINANCIAL NEWS
sales are made at $1 50 per cental, but some
of them command $1 75 per cental.
BUTTER There is a slight "kick-up" In
the butter market, and It Is not Improbable
that an advance will take place within a day
or two. The recent agreement among the deal
ers provided for a uniform price of 25c per
pound for best creamery. Since then receipts
have eased up a little, and while some dealers
are receiving plenty to fill all of their orders
at that figure, others who handle special brands
no better In quality, but with older reputa
tions, have been cleaning up so close that they
have quietly lifted the price to 52c and 35c
per rolL A meeting of he Interested parties
will be held In a day or two. and If It Is
thought possible to make a unirorm advance
hold, prices will be marked up 2&c all round.
EGGS Fresh Oregon eggs have been coming
In more plentifully, but the demand has Im
proved, and they are quite firmly held at 30c,
with no accumulation of stocks. There la a
surplus of Eastern and cold-storage stock, and
mis is selling over a wide range of prices, some
of It going as low as 20c per dozen, while the
best does not command over 25c Fresh East
em sotck is now too high to be brought In
with a profit, and the receipts are all cold
storage stock.
POULTRY Retailers kept a close watch on
every coop of chickens that came In yesterday,
and all of the good stock that was received
was snapped up as quick as It struck the street.
The limit, however, seemed to be about f4 50
per dozen, although a fancy lot occasionally
brought J5, and some sold down to $3' 50 and
$4. Ducks were In good demand at $5 and
$5 50 per dozen, and geese were slow at a
nominal quotation of ?0 50 and $7 per dozen.
Turkeys sold fairly well at 12Uc and 15c.
dressed, with live easy at lie and 12c There
are a great many wild geese and ducks In
the market, and they are offering at such low
prices that tney are hampering the salo of
tame birds.

XEW YORK STOCK 3IARKET.
NEW YORK. Dec 11. The usual year-end
activity of the money markets of the world
was the feature In today's stock market, to the
exclusion of almost every other consideration.
The darkening prospect of the money outlook
was more perceptible in New York thau Jn
other markets, and this was partly due to the
fact that New York was called upon for re
lief from ether money markets. Engagements
were made of gold for shipments to Berlin of
?500,000. and as much more rumored, the re
ported shipper declining to confirm the report,
and of over J100.000 in French coin to Paris.
Deposits at the Eubtreasury were made for
transfer to Chicago of (C50.000. and to New
Orleans of $150,000. This depletion of $2,000.
000 In cash was offset by a payment from the
Subtreasury of $1,540,141 In redemption of
United States bonds. But this was not suffi
cient to prevent a late flurry In the call money
market again, when belated borrowers sought
to cover their needs, which ran the rate up to
10 per cent.
The Subtreasury had already taken from the
market over $4,000,000 before today's opera
tions, including deposits for transfer to the
Interior. The hope that the higher money
rates here would attract prompt remittances
from the Interior Is not sufficient to overcome
anxiety. In the face of these officially reported
transfers to the Interior.
It was reported today that Chicago banks
had loaned some money on call on the stock
exenange but this operation presumably In
volves the drawing upon a New York bank
correspondent, and is, therefore, an unsettling
Influence in the local money market. The
course of the loan account of New York banks
Is beyond prevision In advance of the weekly
bank statement, but last week's unexpected
Increase In loans keeps sentiment uneasy, as
various syndicate operations remain to be pro
vided for. Belief in the purchase of the Poca
hontas Coal Company by Norfolk & Western
continues prevalent in "Wall street. In spite of
lack of official confirmation, which would in
volve large loan operations. The sharp decline
In Norfolk & Western was connected with this
belief.
There was acute weakness In the foreign ex
change market today in response to the stiffen
ing of money rates, and tho outgo of gold Is
supposed to be la the nature of an outright
bullion purchase, designed to strengthen Ger
man bank reserves for their annual showing,
rather than to yield a profit as a regular ex
change transaction. There was some appear
ance of nursing the market on the part of
the Insiders here and there, so as to suffer as
little damage as possible from the Inevitable
liquidation. The comparative firmness and re
siliency of Amalgamated Copper was an effect
ive aid in this purpose. The dealings In that
stock again overshadowed the whole market,
the price rising to 72. and falling again to
C0K, closing with a net gain of H. There was
a midday rally when the redemption of a large
block of Government bonds was announced,
which carried many stocks above yesterday's
level. Lackawanna rising 4'i. and Delaware &
Hudson. New York Central and Sugar about a
point. Prices generally fell back to the low
est In the late selling movement, and closed
not much better. Tho transcontinental stocks
and the local traction stocks were the principal
sufferers. Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk &
Western also fell 2 each, Colorado Fuel 5H,
Brooklyn Union Gas 0 and General Electric 4.
Bonds were active and Irregular. Total sales.

In the meantime prices moved within narrow

above parity, dipped on New York weakness
and partially rallied on the curb. Atchison.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were the
strongest features.

Chicago Grain nnd Produce.
CHICAGO. Dec 11. Universal selling In
grains today placed the control of the markets
In the hands of the bears, and practically rout
ed the big bull campaign that has terrorlred
shorts for the past week. Liquidation and
short selling enough to press prices down 2c
tells the day's story In wheat. Support was
lacking, so far as country buying was con
cerned, and even a larger number of the coun
try holders who helped prices upwards last
week were now unloading. Commission-houses
took advantage of a fair advance at the open
ing and deluged the pit with selling orders.
Cables were the only bull Influence, and thee
were but a small factor. May opened c up
to a shade lower, at 82c to 81?ic, and at once
started on the downward slide. Several bear
ish conditions were present to help the slump.
Receipts were liberal, both Northwestern and
primary. Clearances were small, and the local
demand was only moderate. There was a rapid
run of fluctuations, but by noon prices had
touched 70c almost 4c loss since Monday.
At such declines shorts covered well for profits,
and near the close May reacted slightly, but
closed very weak. lc lower, at SOflSOKc
Business In corn was fairly active, and the
tendency favored the bear side. Shorts took
advantage of even soft spot to cover, and tem
porary reactions were the result. The cloee
was weak, with May lc lower than yesterday,
at 66c
Oats shared In the general weakness. May
closed lc lower, at 45c
Provlslons were weak, but not so much so as
grains. The natural tendency was toward high
er prices, but tho grain Influence could not be
fought off. Country selling brought some de
pression. January pork closed 25c lower, lard
2c down and ribs 7c lower.

THE SLEEPER AWAKENED.
Grifflth Extracts Slumbering Subject
From Clutches of a Trance.
At the Marquara Theater last evening
Ernest Grlfrith, the hypnotist, aroused the
boy whom he plunged It: slumber Men
day night, and bads lilm do thlnga, which
the boy did. The mysterious part of this
performance was the fact that when Grif
fith was giving the orders on which the
boy acted he (Griffith) was outside the
theater and acrora the etrcet. Is tow of
five members of a committee, the remain
der of which was keeping tab on the boy,
who was In Ms downy couch on the the
ater stage. Grltllth told the boy to rise
and do other things", and his keepers
pulled a watch on him which had been
compared with another watch in use by
the keepers of the boy. The orders and
their execution checked up, and everyone
on the committee declared himself satis
fied that the performance was "on the
level." Afterward the boy was awakened
and went through several startling dldos
while ho was coming to. The remainder
of the performance was fully up to the
average in interest,
