THE MORNING QKEGOSTIAN, FKIDAT, JANUARY 3, 1902. ir COMMERCIAL AND There was nothing unusual In tie trade sit nation for tbe last ueelo of the old year. For the entire 12 months the business of Portland exceeded that of any corresponding period, and that of the last week was In keeping with Its predecessors. The movement of wheat, barley, oats, livestock, lumber and other Oregon products for the last, .half of tbe year was the largest on record, and the disbursements from these Industries placed In circulation an Immense Amount of money, which will keep business moving tor many months after the actual shipments cease. It Is perhaps unnecessary to state that these shipments will not cease for many months yet, for the country holds more good col lateral In the way of field, farm and forest products than ever before af a corresponding date. Oregon oats and barley are finding a new market In the states lying to the cast ward, which Is paying the producer so much more money than can be secured at the tide water markets that large quantities of these cereals are going out of the country In that direction. Thls has had the effect of stiffening up prices locally. Potatoes aie coming in more freely again, and the shortage In the Middle "West is help ing prices some on the Coast. The hop mar ket is firm, but there Is such a small amount of stock still unsold in the Northwest that but little Interest is shown in the matter. The glut in the poultry market which de moralized prices at Christmas was conspicu ous for its absence the week preceding New Tear's, and prices for turkeys "soared up to fancy figures, with other poultry showing a sympathetic advance. Veal and perk are firm, with a good demand. Butter Is steady, with come California stock on the market threat ening to interfere with the native product In the near future. The grocery markets are firm, with no changes of consequence in prices. Sugar is inclned to be a little un settled, on account of the troubles betweecn the contending Interests In the East, but there has been no decline in prices since December 24. Coffee is very firm, with some dealers predicting an .advance. "WHEAT The future course of the wheat market is a conundrum, and the man who can arrive at the correct solution of the problem before it is too late to profit by the knowl edge will give old Croesus a close race as an accumulator of wealth. The bulls and the bears alike have plausible arguments to prove that wheat should be higher or lower, according to their Individual ideas, but the cereal continues to show a reckless disregard for theories and, arguments by tumbling when it is expected to advance, and advancing when a' decline Is anticipated. The new year opened, however, with a pretty firm market, and with local prices hovering around the top price for the season. Sixty-two cents was bid for Walla Walla, and some eagerness is shown to get the cereal at that figure. "While there Is more wheat in the Northwest than has ever been held here at a corresponding date, there Is more tonnage en route, listed and in port, than ever before. This tonnage has been pretty well covered, but there seems to be a feeling of confidence locally that is sufficient to keep up a good demand at full values, and sometimes a little more than full values, when the condition of the foreign market Is reckoned with. Freights are again the dominant factor in the situation, and with a. fair starter for a disengaged fleet already in port, exporters have hopes of bringing rates down to a lower level. That there has been quite a decline already is evident from the fact that the Fulwood, which refused to entertain a bid for 38s 9d on ar rival In the river, several weeks ago, is again unable to secure more than 35 shillings, and possibly not that much. It has been several das since any transactions in freights have been reported, but ships are offering for March loading at 32s Cd. "When the recent bulge in the foreign market carried cargoes up to SO shillings, there was some demand for steamers, and 30s 3d was obtainable for the tramps, but within the past few days there has been less call for them, and it Is doubtful about their receiving any more than a sailer would command. Considerable wheat Is going East, and the amount of barley that Is going out of the country in that direction Is the greatest on record. So much better prices are being paid for Eastern shipment than can be paid locally that there is nothing coming to tide water. The greater part of the wheat that has been shipped East has been for points in Utah and Colorado, but a few lots have been sold for points farther East, to be used for special purposes in the way of preparing cereal foods, etc For these purposes, the price of the cereal does not cut so much figure with buyers, and quite a premium is paid over the actual value of the wheat for export business Some complaint is heard regarding the growing crop of Winter wheat, as the weather was too dry to give it a proper start. The acreage Is so much larger than usual, however, that with favorable condi tions later the damage now reported will be neutralized. Regarding conditions in tho East, the Cincinnati Price- Current, under date of December 2S, says: Tlie severe cold spell of last week which prevailed over the Winter wheat area has been followed by mild, thawing weather, which now prevails, and which is fast melt ing the enow covering over the wheat. So far as can be learned, the condition of tbe growing wheat is as promising as It was before the cold weather. In central Kansas more moisture would be desirable, and in a few localities in Southern Indiana and Ohio the plant is not very vigorous, but as a whole the crop Is In fairly good condition. The movement of all farm products was some what restricted by weather conditions last week, but there is not much chance observ able in the inclination to dispose of the sev eral products. Wheat is held rather firmly. In regard to coiw. many feeders feel that the price is too high; on the other hand, many holders have faith in still higher prices, no that conditions are somewhat mixed. Nearly all reports reflect a scarcity cf corn for ship ment. BUTTER Some of the firmness has been ex tracted from the local butter market by the appearance In Portland of California butter. While it has caused no decline in .prices, it has prevented a further advance, which was Expected a few days ago. The weather has been so mild that the output of the cream eries has not shown an appreciable falling off. and the fancy selects still' clean up at 274 cents. The California butter which- has reached this market Is selling from 224 to 25 cents per pound, and If receipts Increase the local brands may be affected to a .certain ex tent. EGGS Receipts of Oregon eggs have been very heavy recently, and prices have weak ened accordingly. The greater part of the stock sold jesterday was at 27$ cents, but many of the dealers were shading this figure to 26 and 20& cents, in order to move round lots. Eastern eggs have been practically shut out of the market, by the higher prices pre vailing In tho East for fresh stock, and the undesirablllty of the other grades offering. Some "bakers" stock is offering in this mar ket as low as 15 cents per dozen. POULTRY The New Tear's demand for poultry was of sufficient proportions to force prices up in execs! of those prevailing at Christmas. Turkeys sold up around 18 cents, but the demand was small at these prices, and yesterday quotations were back to 15 and 10 cents for dressed and 12J5 and 13 cents for live. The street is well cleaned up, and the condition of the market healthier than It has been for several weeks. Chickens are in better demand at quotations, and ducks are also steady. Geese are not doing so well proportionately as other kinds of poultry and are weak at quotations. Bank Clearings. .. . Exchanges. Balances.

Grata, Flour, Etc The wheat market yesterday was very quiet, buyers and sellers alike seeming disposed to let the old year die without making much of an effort to do business. There was a little more lire in the foreign markets, and on the strength of Liverpool's response to Monday's advance in Chicago, local prices were a little better. Some exporters refused to go above 6101Hc for Walla Walla, but others were offering C2c, and some sales were made at that figure, although the amount changing hands was In the aggre gate very small. Freight are easy, and the FINANCIAL HEWS situation from a shipowners' standpoint will not bo improved by the nonarrlval of several ships which missed their cancelling date yes terday As at least two of these ships were taken at rates above those asked by the own ers of the Charles. Gounod and the Fulwood; they' will probably be rejected on arrival. Wheat Nominal; Walla Walla, 62c; blue stem. 0214c: Valley, 61062c Barley Feed, 1818 50; brewing. $18 50 10 00 per ton.

The New Year Opened With a BIr Jnmp In Volume of Transactions. NEW YORK. Jan. 2. The first day of trad ing for tho new year on the Stock Exchange was signalized by a Jump In the volume of transactions to upward of 1,000,000 shares. The coalers and the Pacifies were easily the .lead ers in the market, but the dealings were broadly distributed, and the strength was fair ly disseminated through the general list. The industrial stocks were inconspicuous, except for a few of the most Important issues, uch as United States Steel, Sugar and Amalgamat ed. Copper and Peoplo's Gas. 'Amalgamated Copper had a period of weakness during the early part of tho day, and Sugar showed occa sional relapses. There was very heavy real ising in the course of the day. but the offer ings were wll taken, and at a cost of only fractions in the prices. The way in which one stock or group of stocks, and then an other, was brought forward Into an advance was characteristic of the methods of profes sional operators of large caliber, and as each new point of strength developed the preceding stocks were sold to realize. In this warf tho equipoise was maintained, and speculative hold ings were transferred from one quarter to an other, .permeating ths whole market. The de mand was apparently based on general consid erations of a good prospect of continued pros perity of the country for the new year, and the hope of an early relaxation in the money market. Call loan rates were not so stringent as on Monday and Tuesday, but the money market continued stiff, and the bulk of operations was apparently by those not dependent for resources on the .call loan market. The Inspired intimations of the completion of the retirement of the Northern Pacific pre ferred .nd of the rapid progress of exchange into the Northern Securities Company's stock had a notable effect In relieving tho depression which has been caused by the fears that that project would be obstructed beforo Its suc cessful consummation. The payment for re demption of Northern Pacific preferred was believed to be a factor In relieving the money market. The prospect of a further effect from the large January disbursements was an ad ditional motive In speculation. With the Northern Pacific project out of the way, it la believed other projects for combi nations will be pushed forward. It is confi dently believed that the anthracite coalers are destined for such a combination. The specu lation in this grouD and the Pacifies today may be attributed to these causes. The buying of Baltimore ft Ohio was by the same brokers conspicuous In the operations In the anthra cite group. Amalgamated Copper was helped by the firm ness of the raw copper market in London, and by rumors that a powerful syndicate had been formed to hold tho company's accumulated stocks of copper. The closing was active and easy on realizations. The railroad bond mar cet was activfi and broad, and there was a good absorption of high-grade bonds. Total Bales. $4,640,000.

The wheat pit saw a broad and active session,, with a tone which ruled strong throughout the greater .part of the day. The early tone was easier on In different cables, and the crowd was. influenced to sell.

The beet-sugar Industry Is certainly making a remarkable growth In this country, and It ia In the usual order of. things that its promoters should seek to retain the protection of a sugar tariff. But all agriculture should hardly be iden tified with the sugar beet, and there Is no little confusion In what Herbert My rick, chairman of the League o Ameri can Producers, Bays concerning the sugar trust and the contraction of our Euro pean markets. If we admit that the" trust Is the chief agency that Is working for free trade In raw sugar, and that there Is a deter mined effort to open, our ports to free to bacco, wool, cotton, rice, fruit, vegetables and nuts from Cuba, South America, the West Indies and the East Indies, the Eu ropean market will still have to be con sidered as a separate subject, and It Is certainly not contracting. Mr. Myrlck himself has to admit that It has been In creasing up to the present time, though he afterward speaks as though contrac tion had begun. The fact is that there has been a steady expansion since 1S99, and that all previous records have been broken In the last four yeare. The ex ports for 1S38 were $853,653,570; for 1S99, $784,9S9.0S7; for 1900, $835,912,933, and for the first nine months of 1901, $650,354,694. The last figure for nine months surpasses all previous yearly figures except the ones mentioned and those of 1S37, 1S92 and 1SS1. It ia larger by 56.000,000 than the return for the corresponding period of 1900. New European 'tariffs may check the foreign demand, but they are not framed with reference to our Importations from the "West Indies or South America. The German tariff, which Is of agrarian ori gin. Is aimed distinctly at American breadMuffs, a stupendous article of trade, which makes the beet-sugar Interest look almost Infinitesimal by comparison. "We mlf;ht tickle the German agrarian, who Is himself a beet-sugar producer, by pro posing a reciprocity of wheat for sugar, but this would not suit Mr. Myrlck, who thinks that our manufacturers should re ciprocate or abdicate In favor of wheat because they have been the greatest beh eficlarifs of a protective tariff hitherto. The manufacturers would reply," how ei er, that their foreign market, which has grown marvelously, should be preserved, and the German agrarian would say that his objection to American wheat could not be removed by American concessions to German manufacturers. It is no easy task to satisfy these various competitors by crisscrossing, and the real security of the American farmer will be found In the cravings of the forelpn stomach. Na tions which cannot raise food enough for the home supply must Import, and what ever becomes of the beet-sugar industry here, the farmer's European market, which Is largely, by the way, in a free trade country, Is not likely to contract except for occasional natural fluctuations, for many years to come. A DON'T-GET-TIRED CLUB. The Members Pledged Themselves Not to Shop All Bay. New York Commercial Advertiser. A few weeks ago several women formed what they called an Anti-Fatigue League. They were women who had shopped In other years and had been so exhausted and disgusted with life when Christmas day arrived that they vowed they would never, no, never, do It again. Of course, they didn't keep their vows, because Christmas shopping Is one of those things In which one can't control one's self. It has to be done. But this year they ef fected a compromise. They held a meet ing Just like that of a real club where everything is talked about and nothing Is done. Tho members pledged themselves on their words of honor as genelewomen,not to shop all of any day without suitable and proper refreshments. Suitable and proper refreshment was defined as soup, meat, tea, wine, milk, coffee, bread and butter, celery, rice, potatoes, fruit and other digestible edibles and bracing drink ables. Candy or cakes, soda water, drug store chocolate, lobster salads or patties, croquettes and fantastic entrees were for bidden. . Then each member pledged herself to go about her shopping systematically, to make out a list of what she wanted, and not to run around the shops to see if she could not get a certain article a few cents cheaper In some other shop than In the one where she originally saw it. Shopping three hours every day was recommended as against shopping nine hours bn one or two days, but (his was not practicable for the suburbanite. The ur ban members agreed to It. No parcels were to be carried, and shopping was to be done In a short skirt Last, but not least, the women prom ised to do all their shopping before the 23d, so as to have a little rest and change before the great day, and so not ap pear white, nervous and haggard like a ghost at the Christmas feast AT THE HOTELS.
