COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS
Trade In the wholesale district presented
the usual Christmas holiday aspect yesterday
and business -was booming all along the line.
"While the Greatest activity was noticeable In
regular holiday goods, there was also a line
trade in staples. Produce receipts were lib
eral, and prices were well maintained. The
expected general advance In butter failed to
materialize, the parties who had been charg
ing more than 25 cents per pound explaining
that they had deviated from that figure only
when they caught a victim who was unable to
secure butter from his regular merchant.
Poultry arrivals were larger and found a
good market. There was plenty of dressed
chickens received, but they appeared to be In
smaller demand than the live birds. Geese
were a drug on the market, and ducks were
not doing so well as on the day previous. In
the cereal markets, wheat was weak, and bar
ley and oats were quite firm.

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain. Flour, Etc.
Eastern and European markets continued on
the down grade yesterday, and the bottom
seems about as far away as ever. There was
not much doing in the local market. Dealers
are unable to pay the extreme figures reached
early In the week, and holders have not yet
made up their minds to accept lower prices.
Walla "Walla was nominal at about CI cents
yesterday, with some dealers quoting half a
cent under that figure, and the usual reports
from the country that higher prices were be
ing offered at competitive points in tho Inte
rior. The demand for wheat for shipment to
rtah and points further East Is still large,
and more orders are received for barley and
oats than can be handled to advantage.
Freights are easier, and owners are again In
viting bids, with no one anxious for ships.

XE1V YORIC STOCK MARKET.
High Call Loan Rntc Forced a Larpe
Amount of Liquidation.
NEW YORK. Dec. 12. Speculative liquida
tion continued In tho stock markot today. In
duced by the stringency In money, which ran
the call loan rate up to 12 per cent at one
time and forced a sood Fliare of liquidation.
Other selling was precautionary. In fear of
stlil more stringent conditions In the money
market. A vory material element in the
day's weakness was the short selling by the
bears, who became emboldened by the lack of
aupport in the market and put out large
cnort lines. When the market turned, the
bears found they had been following the de
cline too closely and they helped on the rally
by bidding agallst each other to get back
stocks. The rally came when the banks came
Into the exchange market for the first time
late in the day and offered large sums at the
prevailing rate, which was at tho high level.
With the satisfaction of this demand by these
offerings the rate fell away and the pressure
on the stock market was quickly relaxed.
The dealings by the bears was the one ele
ment in the rally. This was not fully held
and the market closed Irregular. The few
fractional advances which had been established
on the rally were wiped out before the close,
and losses are showp practically throughout.
There Is nothing obscure about the situation
of the money market. With surplus reserves
shown to be below $7,000,000 In last Satur
day's bank statement and with large season
able allowances known to be pending, It was
obvious that the money supply would be lim
ited. The outgo of gold is continuing in spite
of tho need for money, today showing a with
drawal of $500,000 for Brazil. Tho renewed
demand for interior shipment is also an un
expected development, and was continued to
day with the transfer of $100,000 to New
Orleans.
The redemptions of Government bonds are
not sufficient to offset the requirements of the
Subtreasury, as is shown by yesterday's net
gain by that institution of $438,000 In kplte
of payment in redemption of bonds of upward
of $1,500,000. Besides the general Influence of
the money market situation there was some
special weakness shown hv Nur Vnrlr rvntrT
at a decline of 3 on account of the restrict
lion of action yb the directors of the Vander
bllt roads at the meeting today to advance the
dividend rate on Canada Southern. North
western dropped 4 and Omaha 0. The gen
eral range of declines ran from 1 to 2 points.
The extreme losses were much modified by
the final rally. Amalgamated Copper fluctu
ated from a high level of 71 in the morning
down to 67 In the afternoon, closing at GSM,
net loss of 2K.
Bonds were active and weak. Total sales,
par value. $3,545,000. United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.

NEW TORK. Dec 12. The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
Disturbing elements In the stock market to
day were a fresh drop in copper to 52 a
ton. and In Rio Tlntos to 41 , and the con
tinued flatness of American stocks, which
failed to hold the opening prices. New York
Central again operated as a -elIer, but rallied
toward the close. In Amalgamated Copper
dividend talK was only momentary, as Lon
don thinks the company squeezed resources to
support the market. The close was at the bot
tom on private cable dispatches announcing
dear money in New York. The Bank of Eng
land Is still lending. Money Is expected to
be light, but tho bank returns show that tne
reserve is 4.000.000 higher than a year ago
at the sinw time, and therefore nothing se
rious is anticipated.
Gold to the amount of 20,000 has, gone to
the Continent, and the price of metal has risen

Chicago Grain and Provision.
CHICAGO. Dec 12. Weakness was felt In
all grains today. Wheat had a quiet and heavy
market. A severe storm off the English coast
prevented the arrival of Liverpool cables, but
the weak tone In the London market was
thought to reflect the condition at other big
markets. Business at the opening was fair
and prices remarkably steady. Northwestern
receipts were rather light, but later tho pri
mary receipts showed heavy Increases and had
a depressing effect. Selling was the main In
fluence, however. There was practically no
country buying, and there was a heavy liqui
dation at prices over 80 cents for May. May
opened c higher to c lower, at 80
SOc. and on tho absence of support at those
figures, sold down quickly to 79-Xc From this
point It wan a narrow scalping market. The
close was weak, ?ic lower, at 79Hc
Corn sold oft heavily the first hour, follow
ing wheat. Late In the session several pro
feselonals began taking on long lines and
frightened shorts, and covering, sent prices
back slightly. May closed weak. c lower,
at OOtfc
Oats followed corn. May closed c lower, at
45c.
Provisions were given poor support both lo
cally and from the outside. January pork
closed 15c lower, lard 2c lower, and ribs
7c lower.

PRICES OF IRON
Will Probably Remain Unchanged
Large Production.
NEW YORK. Dec 12. The Iron Age says:
A decision of far-reaching importance has
been arrived at by the managers of the United
States Steel Corporation. After considerable
dUcusslon and a number of conferences. It has
been determined to fix the price of Lake Iron
ore for the coming season the same as It was
during t!e current season, viz.. $4 25 as the
base price for old-range ores at Lower Lake
ports. Some of the outside ore Interests show ed
a strong disposition to favor an advance, while
In Isolated cases a moderate lowering was ad
vocated. While an official announcement on
the part of the ore producers has not yet tetn
made, it may be accepted as practically set
tled that present ore prices will prevail for
another season.
The same tendency has been displayed In
certain finished lines. The beam and plate as
sociations have held their meetings during tho
past week, and after continuing the life of
these organizations for another year, have left
prices to remain where they are.
Our monthly blast furnace statistics furnish
further procf of the tremendous consumption
which is now going on On December 1 thera
were coke and anthracite stacks In operation,
with a capacity of 317,358 gross tons, an In
crease of 33S3 tons as compared with November
1 In the past month stocks have declined
42.000 tuns. Counting In the charcoal fur
naces, wc are now producing at the rate
of 16.S50.000 tons per annum, as against the
maximum record of 13.7S9.000 tons in 1900,
and yet we arc constantly drawing on what
little stock the country Is carrying.
It should be noted, however, that the dif
ficulties In securing a supply of coke made
the production of November fall below the
quantity Indicated by the blast furnace re
turns at the beginning of that month. A study
of the figures of November output justifies the
belief that this causo caused a deficiency of
product close to 100.000 tons. On the other
hand, some furnaces had to pllo Iron because
they could not get cars to send It to customers
eager to secure the raw material.
Quite a number of Independent furnace men
have contracted for their next year's supply
of cake at $2 13 to $2 20 at oven, an advanc
over last year.

A block of stock in a co-operative investment company will soon be
offered to the general public at par. The whole plan of this company is
such that the public will eagerly subscribe lor this ideal security and a
great many applications for stock will, therefore, have to be
rejected.
The next block will surely be offered at a premium far above
par. If you will write to us at once, we will keep you posted
and will help you to come in on the ground floor.
The company in question is investing One Million Dollars
in the stocks and bonds of one hundred or more sound and
reliable companies and institutions on the following plan :
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of stock in at least 25
carefully selected mining companies possessing properties that
are known to be of real value and merit, thus providing assets
of great speculative possibilities.
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of interest-bearing
bonds of at least twenty-five reliable and thoroughly sound
corporations, thus providing assets of established and per
manent value.
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of stock in at least 25
different industrial companies and corporations, selected only
after the earning capacity, dividend prospects and probable
advance in market value of their stocks have been clearly
demonstrated.
250,000 DOLLARS in the purchase of stock in reliable,
well managed realty corporations in growing cities, such in
vestments being certain to double or even treble in value.
BY THIS PLAN the investor, acquiring stock in this co
operative purchasKig company, gains absolute insurance
against loss of capital, and at the same time has the assurance
of enormous profits. Carrying all of your eggs in one basket
is dangerous. This plan, it might be said, provides a basket
for each eg. If one is dropped, the damage is trifling ; yet
if Only one out of a hundred or more proves "a golden egg,"
the profit is great. Truly this is in every way THE IDEAL
INVESTMENT, for it not only insures against loss, but it
guarantees profits on an unusually large scale. Address at
once for particulars

The Digestion of China.
Nineteenth Century.
I am not in the secrets of the Russian
Government, but a little reasoning will
easily permit us to discover the limits ot
Us designs with regard to the Middle
Kingdom. Of Chinese territory proper,
Russia may be safely eald to have ob
tained as much ns she cares for, now
that she has annexed Manchuria. She
had to get, at all costs, a temperate coast
line on the Pacific, and it Is for this
paramount object that fine has saddled
herself with the administration of i.COO.OOO
Chinese. Having, achieved this purpose,
there is every reason why she should not
contemplate a further advance Into the
heart of China. The country Is rich and
evidently worth having, but it Is densely
Inhabited, Its population numbering hun
dreds of millions. Its assimilation, which
would follow Its subjugation If this were
to be enduring. Is Impossible, not from
any constitutional Incapacity of Russia,
who, on the contrary, presents, as I have
shown, great affinity with the yellow
races, but because of the huge muss of
humanity China represents. It Is not tne
quality but the quantity of the meal that
would disagree with the Russian stom
ach. Russia cannot think any more of
conquering China than of obtaining pos
session of India.
Russian greed can and will exercise it
fi&'f, however, at the expense of all the
Chinese dependencies, Mongolia. Thibet,
etc., because of the scantiness and back
ward condition of their population.
For the rest, the policy of the C2ar"s
Government In the Far East will aim at
keeping up a certain ferment or anarchy
In the Celestial community until such
time as Russia need not fear reprisals on
its part.
