iOMMERCIAL AND
The usual cnd-of-the-roonth dullness is ao
iceable to a certain extent In trade circles.
sut when the business of the closing days of
the month Is averaged up with that of the
entire month, the showing Is a very satisfac
tory one, and complaints are few. There Is
but little weakness shown In agricultural prod
ucts, and wheat In the Portland market Is
ctlU selling at the highest prices of the season,
with oats and barley also bringing full fig
ures. The latter has weakened a little In sym
pathy with the California market, which eafed
up under an improvement In tho weather con
ditions. Potatoes suffered a small decline on
account of overloading tho San Francisco mar
ket, and onions ore easy, but not quotably
lower. Butter Is firm, and best grades are
selling about 5c per roll higher than last
week. Pork Is scarce and firm, and veal Is
plentiful. Hops are selling at the highest price
of the season. In groceries, sugar continues
uneasy, but quotations are unchanged. Retail
ers are holding off, hoping for lower prices,
and, from present indications, will not be
disappointed. Corn syrups have advanced
slightly, and rice -nd cheese are fractionally
lower.
WHEAT The wheat market for the past few
weeks has presented no new features In this
port. Chicago took a violent slump on Mon
day, but has been gradually recovering by
easy stages since that time. Fine rains and at
tendant improvement in crop conditions in
California cut down prices In the Ban Fran
cisco market about 6c per cental, but locally
there have been but few changes. As a mat
ter of fact, on more than one occasion during
the past week, when other markets were al
lowest ebb, the highest prices have been paid
In Portland. Yesterday tho ruling quotations
were about 65C6c, but there were well-authenticated
reports that sensational figures had
been paid at one or two competitive points In
the Interior. Some Btorles placed the amount
as high as 6Tc for "Walla Walla, while others
gave CWtc as the top figure. It Is believed
that this buying was done on milling account,
for the pricea named are far In excess of any
export value, even at present low freight rates.
The shipments for the month will be much
smaller than those for January. This, however,
has no special bearing on the wheat movement,
as the falling off in shipments is due solely
to the non-arrival of tonnage which had been
provided, and which would have been loaded
had it reached port in time. Tho Valley mills
continue to pay so much more for wheat than
exporters can get out of It that very little Is
bomlng In. East of the mountains, the clean-J
Pup, except In one or two localities, has been
so thorough that there is less wheat on hand
In proportion to tho size of the crop than
there has been at a similar period for many
years. The situation is rapidly nearlng a
point where tho freight boomers with their
53,000,000-bushel crop estimates will be forced
to admit that at least 10,000,000 bushels of this
amount was padding, and. there there was
never a time since the crop was planted when
It Justified any such wild estimates as have
been put forth for the purpose of keeping
freights up six months after they were down
everywhere else In the world. The industrious
circulation of these misleading figures by the
wheat bears on the Pacific Coast has undoubt
edly had a weakening effect on the market as
soon as they got beyond the zone in which
their Inaccuracy was understood. This being
the case, operators who have witnessed the
sudden vanishing of 10,000,000 bushels of wheat
in thin air are wondering whether or not it is
possible that the same species of misinforma
tion has not pervaded other parts of tho coun
try. If the crop of the rest of the United
States has been as badly overestimated as that
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, Instead of
having a record-breaker. It will do well If tt
pulls up to 550,000,000 bushels. That, of course.
Is too low a figure, as It Is hardly possible
that there Is any other part of the country
where such monumental blunders could be
made a have been made by the "experts" who
made the crop In Washington, Oregon and Ida
ho 53,280.000 bushels, and are still trying to
"make good" on the estimate.
Freights continue weak, with more tonnage
In sight than is needed for immediate require
ments, and not much disposition on the part
of exporters to force matters. Spot ships can
be secured for 25s, and there Is some near-by
tonnage offering at the same figure, if there
was very much wheat to be moved, and the
market took a strong spurt, these rates might
be improved on, tut there Is nothing very
hopeful for tho shipowner In the Situation as
It now appears. The Australian wheat crop
is falling below expectations, and many of the
ships chartered to load In the Antipodes are
being offered for recharter at rates 5s lower
than the rate originally paid. It was reported
yesterday that two of the disengaged ships
now In port would lay up in preference to ac
cepting 23s. Among exporters there Is a gen
eral feeling that nothing will be gained by
this, as the outlook for good freights for next
season Is not much brighter than It Is for the
remainder of this season. Two or three specu
lative charters were made for next season's
business several months ago at 32s 6d, but no
such rates could be obtained at the present
time, and It is probable that the next new crop
charters that will be reported will be In tho
neighborhood of 25s to 27s Cd.
Tho followlhg is a summary of the North
west wheat situation, as noted by tho Min
neapolis Market Record:
Receipts since August 1 of this crop year
have been approximately 91,000,000 bushels In
Ilnneapolls and Duluth, against 55.000,000 the
cvious season. Notwithstanding the dlffer-
ffe of 30,000.000 bushels more this year, how
ir, the amount in store in these two mar
ts Is much less than that above last year's
l-ed supply, showing a much larger quantity
te to consumers. On the average It Is found
farmers In the Northwest had In January
!.t 40 per cent of last year's production.
e seems iO be no valid reason why the
aunt this year should not be up to the usual
ira.ee. It Is to De remcmDerea that some
XK.000 bushels of that has to be consumed
r seed and other uses on the farm. Still there
Is enough back In farmers' hands for a con
tinuance of a good business during the re
mainder of the crop year. On August 1, 1000,
farmers carried some 15,000,000 bushels on tho
farms. On August 1, 1001, they carried less,
according to the usual estimates, by some
10,000.000 bushels.
HOPS Hops still unsold in the Willamette
Valley are now commanding the best price of
the season, and this week sales have been re
ported at 14315c per pound. Dealers In this
city state that 15c is above the actual value of
tho hops, but that such prices are paid by
buyers who are forced to secure the hops in
order to fulfill contracts. Sales are being made
all the time, out the amounts Involved arc of
only moderate proportions. There Is more new
crop contracting than usual, In spite of the
prevailing good prices and general belief that
they will continue for another season. Most
of tho contracts reported this week have been
from lie to ll4c. The situation In New Tork
is thus reported by a leading trade Journal
of New York City:
No business of consequence Is reported trans
acted, but the tone of the market is held firm.
February contracts. It Is understood, have
been fairly well completed, but with March
close at hand, it is expected that the short
interest will soon have to obtain supplies to
meet these contracts. Demand from Western
brewers was light, they being fairly well sup
plied, but Eastern brewers, it Is expected will
soon have to do some buying, as their holdings
are understood to be comparatively limited.
As to th future of the market, the majority
of the trade seemed to be confident. The gen
eral feeling appears to be that Congress will
make some reduction In the beer tax. and
with the general labor situation a healthy one
the outlook Is considered promising for a good
consumption for brewers' products as the sea
son advances.
The Watervllle Times of February 18 says
of the Watervllte hoD market:
r "Since the sale of the growths of J. J. Mont
gomery, ay Dales at ioc: Hugh Green, 72. at
lGVic, and that of Isaac Clark, of 85 bales, at
lGc, we have heard of no other transactions.
Most of the other holders have been offered as
gooa as these prices, but have declined. Coun
try roads are again blocked by the storm that
has been raging since Monday noon."
WOOL Whllo tho wool clip of 1802 will re
FINANCIAL NEWS
main on tho backs of the sheep for a few
weeks longer, there Is already considerable in
terest in the outlook for Slices, and unless
there Is a change In the situation, the market
promises to open at higher figures than were
In evidence last year. Eastern buyers arc
making inquiries as to the tone of the market
here, and the probable clip, and there will
probably be plenty of buyers in the field when
the clip begins to move. The condition of
the Eastern market Is thus reported by the
New York Journal of Commerce, under date
of February 22:
The wool market during the week Just past
has remained In a rather quiet condition, and,
although inquiries have been fairly numerous,
the actual amount of business transacted has
been small. From some of the seaboard mar
kets reports of Increased Inquiry are received,
but the transactions give evidence of very con
servative Ideas on the part of buyers, who
'.seem to be making Inquiries more for the pur
pose of keeping track of the market than for
any actual needs they might have. The situa
tion of the woolen goods market makes buying
as yet a good deal of a speculation, and, al
though on certain lines the business which has
been done would Indicate pretty clearly the
trend of demand,- as a rule the season has not
progressed far enough to form an estimate of
what will be needed In the raw material linn.
Dealers realize that It Is of little use to force
wool upon unwilling customers, and are hold
ing their stocks at substan&ally unchanged
prices. When a manufacturer Is found who
really wants the wool there Is comparatively
little trouble In securing asking prices, but
where buyers are shopping around the market
to see what can be done the deal usually falls
of culmination, owing to the firmness of hold
ers' ideas. Although the volume of business
has been small, there Is no lack of strength to
the market, as holders without exception are
firmly holding to asking prices.
On pulled wool the market continues quiet,
with transactions of moderate proportions only.
Inquiries, however, are numerous, which goes
to show that manufacturers are keeping In
close touch with the market. Good A supers
are quoted at 40943c, and lower grades at from
395?41c per pound. For a good staple straight
B a sale is reported at 3Gc but this wan of a
small lot for a special purpose. In Texas wools
a rery fair amount of Interest Is manifested,
while some fair-sized deals are reported to be
pending, but as stocks are short and dealers
Ideas somewhat above purchasers', little sur
prise will be felt should these "reported" deals
fall through.
Fine 12 months' wool is being firmly held at
from 4750c For Fall wool 40fi-13c is the
average range, while for a medium grade Fall
wool 38ff43c Is considered a medium range.
POTATOES The steamer sailing for San
Francisco last evening took out about 7000
sacks, leaving about 5000 sacks which were
ready for shipment, but which were held bock
In the hope of Improving the situation in tho
Bay City. Recent heavy shipments from this
port have overloaded the California market,
and the feeling is weak all along the line. In
this market $1 15 per cental Is the top quota
tion, and thero Is considerable hesitancy shown
by some dealers about doing anything so long
as the market is In Its present uncertain state.
The steamer took away a small consignment of
Early Rose potatoes, which are wanted In Cali
fornia for seed purposes. They aro selling
here In a small way at $1 201 25 per cental,
but supply and demand are alike limited. Ore
gon Is still shut out of any territory but Cali
fornia by the Colorado growers, who are now
dumping their big crop on the Arizona and
Texas markets.
BUTTER There Is still an excellent demand
for select brands of creamery butter, and In a
small way. 80c per pound Is being exacted.
This figure, however. Is not a general quotation,
and there are large quantities of first-grade
stock obtainable at 2715c, and, from present
Indications, that figure will be the limit for
tho present season as a general quotation. The
demand for store butter Is slightly better on
account of the commencement of a considerable
number or Industrial enterprises, which require
large forces of men In railroad, logging and
timber camps. California butter Is more plen
tiful, and prices are weakening, but as yet
very little from the Bouth has found its way
Into this market.
EGGS The egg market has followed a very
erratic course for the past week, for In the
face of very heavy receipts, prices have held
up to good figures until a day or two ago. The
primary cause of the strength In the local mar
ket was due to a great scarcity and high prices
In the East. This prevented the shipment of
Eastern eggs Into any territory west of tho
Rocky Mountains, and, as a result, the Pacific
Coast markets have had to supply the shortage.
The period of high prices Is apparently over,
however, for; San Francisco has rushed largo
(taantttles of eggs 'into the Puget Sound mar
kets, and there is no longer any shipping de
mand in that direction. "The price has fallen
away from 25c per dozen last week to 10tf?20c,
and some weakness shown at the latter figure.
With continued mild weather, much lower
prices are expected.
POULTRY Receipts of chickens were' very
light yesterday, but they came in more plentl
fully than usual on Monday and Tuesday, and
the market is only fairly steady at quotations.
The demand at present runs more to old hens
than .anything else, and young chickens are
inclined1 to weakness as the time for "new
crop" broilers draws near. Geese are a drug on
the market, and are difficult to move at very
low prices. Tho Chinese are still buying a few
ducks, and this demand keeps prices fairly
steady, but hardly firm. Turkeys are In poor
demand, cxtfept In a small way, when choice
dressed stock will sej.1 at 14 15c Live are not
wanted except at low figures.

Wheat Opens AV'cnlc nt Chicago, lint
" Sees a Firm Cloftlng.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26. Wheat ruled weak ear
ly and sold lower. Several bearish factors were
at work, such as unresponsive, though slightly
higher, cables and fair weather. Liquidation
was rather general early, and the outside mar
kets were all somewhat lower. Gradually,
however, the liquidation ceased, and the crop
klller had a chance tb get in his work. Dam
ages were reported from Kansas, Indiana,
Oklahoma and Nebraska, and tho outside mar
kets began working upward. This frightened
shorts, who covered eagerly as the Western
report? came in more frequently. There was
decidedly more snap to trade than, for come
time, and the relatively stronger position of
the coarse grains helped wheat. May opened
0c to -0Hc down, at 76075c, and sold
off to 75c The reaction took May up to
76Sc and the close was firm, ?c higher, at
76076c
Corn held firmer than wheat all through tho
day, and was somewhat more active, though It
sold lower early, and turned strong late, the
same as wheat.
Oats opened strong and higher, but turned
dull until a prominent long holder went Into
the pit and bulled tho market. May closed

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Proceedings a Repetition of Those of
the Last Ferr Days.
NEW YORK. Feb. 23. Tho proceedthgs In
today's stock market were practically a repe
tition of those of the last few days. That is
to say, the Important railroad and Industrial
stocks of the light capitalization, which usual
ly take the lead In market movements, were
allowed to slumber, while various obscure and
rarely active stocks were take up one after
another and pushed upward in more or less
sensational movements. This order of things
was varied In the last hour by a sharp raid
on the part of professional bears. Tho ostensi
ble reason for their selling was the announce
ment of engagements of gold for export by
tomorrow's steamer to the amount of $2,400.
000. The persistent dullness of the whole market,
and Its refusal to advance under the efforts to
stimulate by marking up Individual stocks Im
pressed the professionals with Its vulnerable
position, and the announcement of the gold
exports was rathor a signal than a motive for
the attack. The announcement of gold ex
ports was hardly a surprise, as sterling ex
change has hovered about the export point all
week. The -money market In New York has
not shown the slightest reflection of any strin
gency, yet the Subtreasury operations have
already taken up nearly $1,000,000 since the
last bank statement, and with Naw York ex
change at Chicago down to 15c discount the
interior movement of currency is probably
away from New York. An early response In
the local money market Is highly probable
The advances In today's market were almost
universally without explanation. The minor
roads based their advance on the supposition
that absorption of the smaller by the larger
systems is manifest destiny. In the more
prominent stocks there was strength In Penn
sylvania,, the Eries, Wabash preferred and Illi
nois Central. Copper was active and Irregular.
Tho bond market waa firm. Total sales, par
value, $4,800,000. United States bonds were all
unchanged on the last call.

The stock market gives evidenco of returning
to its former lethargic condition, nlthough a
respectable bull account In South African
shares still exists. The quietness was assisted
by the Victor Hugo centenary holiday In Paris.
The market opened firm, but relapsed in the

sion of coal operators and mine workers
has resulted In a fruitless attempt to
adopt a scale for the state outsido the
Danville district, and the whole matter

increase the scale in any district, and
Harry Taylor, of Chicago, painted a
gloomy picture of the condition of the
coal trade In Illinois, which he declared
had been gradually supplanted by the prod
uct of mines In the Hocking Valley, Ohio,
and "West Virginia.
The powder question threatens to split
the convention. The miners adopted a
resolution, and later incorporated It in
their scale fixing- the maximum price of
powder at $1 75 per keg and providing that
