THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1901. 11 COMMERCIAL AND The regular Monday statistics were unusually bearish yesterday, and the wheat markets suf fered In consequence. Aside from this unpleas ant feature of the trade situation, there was sot much of interest in the wholesale district yesterday. The receding of the wave of strength which held the poultry market up last week left a considerable quantity of stock "beached." and as a result the market started oft rather weak, with liberal ctocks on hand end but few buyers. It is yet too early for the Christmas trade, and the regular demand Is now of very small proportions. Oregon eggs came in more plentifully yesterday, and while there was a slight weakness no changes were -Ade in prices. Veal was scarce and a shade .&!-.. and pork was plentiful and weak. Po tatoes wore holding their own under lighter Bank Clcnrlnrrs. Exchanges. Portland $710,973 Seattle 474.820 Spokane 276,452 Tacoma 208.708 Balances. SS2.833 42.821 33,302 30.12J PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Klour, Etc. The local wheat market yesterday was sick In sympathy with other markets, and no business was reported. The farmer seems to have an abiding faith In better prices, and Is not selling eo freely on the "dips" as he was earlier in the season. Some exporters had their quota tions down as low as SSHc, but 5i)c was the ruling ligure for Walla Walla, with a possibil ity of this ngure being "sprung" a little if any business could be done. Freights were in the same position as wheat, to far as activity wa3 concerned. There has been an advance in Han Francisco, and owners apparently feel that the proper thing to do under the circumstances Is to try and squeeze another shilling or two out of the Portland exporters. The latter think differently, and there is, accordingly, nothing doing. "Wheat "Walla Walla, OSgOO&c; bluestem, Wc; Valley. 53c Barley Feed. $1717 30; brewing. ?17 OOJMS per ton.

Bulls Hesitated About XaUInrc Any Movement for an Advance. NEW TORK. Dec 10. There was no renewal of consequence of the pressure of liquidation in the stock market today, but there was mani fest hesitation about undertaking any opera tions for an advance. A handful of stocks were advanced by professional operators In a seeming attempt to Induce a following and to Influence the general market. The evidently ctslcr condition of the money market encour aged this movement, but the fear of a recur rence of stringency and the unsettling In fluence of the renewed weakness in Amalga mated Copper discouraged Its extension. Amal gamated Copper started downwards from the FINANCIAL NEWS opening, momentarily dropping to H above last week's closing. It gravitated for the rest of the day, v-lth only elight rallies, to the lowest point, Cl, where It closed. The fluctuations in the stock were not violent, and traders described its action as a fall of Its own weight, without any apparent artificial pressure. The net loss Is 3. It is taken for granted that the renewed decline foreshadows a reduction In the dividend on Thursday, as the disbursement of dividends by a subsidiary company Is tied up by injunction. The rate of dividend Is ex pected by speculators at all the way from 1 per cent quarterly down to passing it entirely. Fears are professed, also, that the cut in the selling price of raw copper made last week Is a preliminary to further cuts and to a war of rates. It was worthy of remark that In Lon don the price of futures closed higher than for spot, for the first time since the first week In October. j The prnFpect of the unsettling influence of mystery and uncertainty over the Amalga mated dividend rate until Its actual declara tion was sufficient in Itself to discourage activ ity in the general market, as the strength of the Saturday bank statement Is entirely dua to the speculative liquidation which took pia;e last week. To expand immediately the loan account of the banks would threaten. It Is feared, a recurrence of stringent money. Ru roors of dangers narrowly averted last week helped to prevent imprudence. Last week's ! loan contraction was well distributed among j the banks, showing clearly that no large syn J dlcate transactions was accountable for it. The condition of the world's money markets was easier all around today. The only stocks whose strength waa conspicuous were New York Cen tral. Manhattan, St. Louis and San Francisco, the Iowa Centrals and Colorado Fuel.- Their gains wrc all curtailed In sympathy with the late weakness in Amalgamated Copper. The changes generally are narrow. The bond market was dull and Irregular. To tal sales, par value, $1,735,000. United States refunding 2s advanced H. and the 3s, coupon, k per cent on the last call.

WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor A block of stock in a co-operative offered to the general public at par. The whole plan of this company is such that the public will eagerly subscribe for this ideal security and a great many applications for stock will, therefore, have to be rejected. r The next block will surely be ofTered 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 35 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 purchasing 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 egg. If one is dropped, the damage fs 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.

PORTLAND, Dec. 16.-(To the Editor.) A correspondent of your paper this morn lng- makes the above inquiry, and the an Rwer to It Is n very plain and simple on In our republican form of government 1 this country, composed of executive, le? lslatlvc and judicial departments, commit slons are a flfth wheel to the coach, an therefore useless. Our city governmetv. like every other government. Is the bet and most effective with the simplest ma chlnery. The Mayor, as its executive olL cer. should be charged with the rcspon", billty of enforcing all city ordinance through officers appointed by him and rv sponsible to him, which he cannot be i such responsibility Is peddled arourt' among various commissions. The aisump tlon that a government by a commission independent of and above the people, wil be better than a government directly re. sponsible to the people. Is one which may be tolerated In a monarchy, but never among a free people. The allusion of your correspondent to the Water Commission In support of his argument was Indeed most unfortunate, for, while that com mission has always been composed of hon orable men. It made the costliest mistake ever made in city affairs by digging worthless reservoirs, and then It added to the weight of that mistake by paying a Callfornlan 55COO for telling It of such mistake, which any Portlander, outside of the commission, would have told It for Zd cents. x.
