COMMERCIAL AND
The business of the new month has been
hampered to a certain extent by weather con
ditions, which have been very unfavorable-.
At the eamo time nearly all of the wholesalers
report a volume of trado In excess of that of
any corresponding period In former years. This
state of trade Is In evidence with the wheat
business at much lower ebb than Is usual at
this season of the year, indicating that the
Increasing activity Is coming from other lines
of Industry. The lumber business Is booming,
and large sales of timber land are placing In
circulation Immense sums of money that have
oeen brought Into the state from the East.
In the produce markets, the best feature of
the week Is an Improvement In the potato mar
ket, San Francisco apparently absorbing the
remarkably heavy shipments that have been
sent from this city without affecting prices
except for a very brief period. There is also
much firmness In butter and poultry- Oats
and barley are still selling at the best prices
of the season, and excessive weakness Is shown
only In the egg market.
There was a sharp decline In hams Tuesday,
and lard Is also c lower. .
There was a 10c drop In sugar a few days
ago, and the market Is itlll In an unsettled
condition. Aside from this, there are no
changes of consequence In the grocery mar
kets. The arrival of three carloads of bananas
within the past five days has given the dealers
an abundant supply of that fruit, and there
Is still plenty of Oregon "apples on hand.
Oranges aro reported a little firmer In Califor
nia on account of the storms, but no advance
has been made locally as yet.
WHEAT The local wheat market is begin
ning to wear a "Summery" cast much earlier
than usual, and new business for the past
week has been on rather a small scale. The
bulk of the purchases are made by millers, and
so firmly Is the cereal held that the prices
generally paid are slightly In excess of export
values. The last transaction In tonnage was
tho charter of a spot ship at 2Cs, an advance
of Is over tho last previous rate. At this rate
for freight, CCc for "Walla "Walla wheat will
reduce the profits on a deal to microscopic
proportions, and none of the exporters seem
very anxious about doing anything until there
Is a change In the foreign markets. The situa
tion has been eased somewhat for the exporters
by a number of ships missing their charters.
This has rendered it unnecessary to pay fancy
prices for wheat to meet tonnage engagements,
and has also assisted In weakening freights,
there being seven disengaged ships now In
the river and a number of others close at
hand. "While tho owners of these ships are
holding out for higher rates than those last
paid, there is nothing in the situation that
"warrants an advance, and tonnage is very
much more plentiful than wheat.
Some very alarming reports of damage by
freezing hare come down from the interior,
and while there has undoubtedly been consid
erable damage, it is yet full early to be taking
too serious a view of crop 'conditions. There
will undoubtedly be a considerable amount of
wheat needed for re-seedlng, and in some sec
tions where stocks have been sold out pretty
clean, this will make it moro difficult for
millers to secure wheat needed to keep the
mills grinding. In the "Willamette Valley there
Is nothing offering for export, and, with the
exception of a few round lots in firm hands,
wheat has been fairly well cleaned out of
nearly all Valley points. Crop conditions in
the East and Middle "West remain about the
same as last week, the snow Mill lying on a
considerable portion of the Winter wheat belt.
The European situation Is thus reported by
tho Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of February 13:
England The weather remains wintry, the
hard spell having now lasted for about a fort
night. The crops, as a rule, are now under
cover of snow, but where this does not exist
the alternate freezing and thawing will not be
doing any good, and in those places where
the temperature has fallen to the neighborhood
of zero, the plant may be killed outright, ex
cepting where the roots have got well down
Into the soil, and even In this case rn light
lands the alternate shrinking and swelling of
the earth by frosts and thaws will drag the
rootlets out of their seed beds.
Germany Mild weather Is reported today,
but last week there was a hard frost. Fortu
nately good quantities of snow fell Dofore the
frost became severe, so that the crops have
had ample protection. The markets have been
firm, and there has been more disposition to
buy foreign wheat.
France The usual official report for January
has at length been published, and the condition
reported is decidedly below either last year's
or that of 1000 or 1889. It may be taken for
granted that the long spell of unseasonable
weather left Its mark on the crops, and -probably
the only reason why the report had so
little effect on the Paris market Is that the
crops are now under snow cover, and people
havo in mind the rresent normal conditions
rather than the unseasonable weather which
preceded. The area appears to be about equal
to last year's, namely. 10,528,000 acres, against
10,708.000 acres last year, but the latter In
cludes the area of a small crop of Spring
wheat.
India The Viceroy cables that no rains havo
fallen, and crop prospects are unaltered. How
ever, we hear that private advices received in
Liverpool are certainly more-pessimistic, and
tho official cables show that the number on re
lief work continues to increase.
Russia Our Odessa correspondent writes that
abnormally mild weather sUll prevails there,
and there are no complaints from the Interior
regarding the crop situation. Shipments of
"wheat last week were decidedly smaller, but
maizo quantities keep largo.
Argentina The reports of rain which we
mentioned last week have since been confirmed,
and it would appear that the downfall was
abundant and general. The rains, of course,
would be of much benefit to the maize crop,
but no one seems to expect that they can
make good the early damage. The wheat
movement is increasing, but the quantities so
far are only about one-half of last year's at
this time.
Roumanla-The weather has remained abnor
mally mild, the crops still look well, and the
area is reported to be large, but as the fields
have no snow covering at all. severe frosts
would cause damage, and some fears are still
expressed on this account. Some reports say
that rains aro needed In order to enable grow
ers to start Spring cultivation. Shipments
have dropped to small figures, which, of course
Is not surprising at this time of tho year. '
WOOL AND MOHAIR There Is a quiet feel
ing In the wool market, but In sympathy with
the strength in the East there is an undertone
of strength, and the outlook continues to fa
vor good prices. Mohair is expected in the
market in about 30 days, and, from jrescnt
Indications, prices will open about the same as
last year. The Increase in the herds is ald
to have been quite small last season, and for
this reason there will bo but little more for
sale than there was last year. The wool situa
tion in tho East is thus reviewed by the New
Tork Journal of Commerce, under date of
March 1:
Although the local market has been quiet for
the week under review, the inquiry for wool
is more frequent, and a good many offers are
being made. These, however, are still below
holders' asking prices, and where sales are
accomplished it is usually at or near holders'
prices. There seems to be an increasing opin
ion, even among those who have been radloal
bears on the situation, that prices will show
but little decline from the present level, rhcre
has been more or less buying of small lots
during lhe week, but dealers are not anxious
to make these transactions public, as they are,
as a rule, made oa private terms. When a
manufacturer wants a lino of wool he Is willing
to pay asking prices, but where It is bought
because it is believed to be cheap, terms at
which It is disposed of aro seldom made pub
lic Manufacturers, however. In the majority
of instances are willing to run along with what
they have on hand, and fill In only when ne
cessity demands it. Notwithstanding this, deal
ers are firmly holding to their asking prices,
and the market, taken as a whole, is in a very
firm condition.
Some fair sales of pulled wool have been
made during the week at good prices. B su
per wools are nominally quoted at 35c clean,
though there are some that can be had at 34c,
a. report is current of one line that Is being
offered at S6c There is said to bo only a
small supply of coarso combings on the mar
ket, while good combings are firmly held, and
supers are held at 2C20c and As at 2SQA2C
About 20.000 pounds of B super wool has
changed hands at 35e, and 10.000 pounds fine
t 45c. Texas wool continues la fair de
FINANCIAL NEWS
mand, -and there have been a good many offers,
which, however, have been below holders'
ideas. For 12 months' growth, 44ff50c is
quoted, while Fall wool Is quoted at 40345c,
and six months' at 42Q4c
Foreign wool has been quiet, but prices well
maintained, notwithstanding the lack of gen
eral inquiries.
HOPS There was but little doing In the hop
market this week, but prices aro holding re
markably firm, and It requires full figures to
movo anything. New hop contracting Is still go
ing on, but the continued firmness of the spot
market has had & tendency to check the activ
ity in that direction, and growers are begin
ning to show more confidence in the perma
nency of present good prices. A better export
demand is reported from New Tork. and the
foreign markets seem to have a healthy tone.
The London Times reports the following from
Kent and Sussex, under date of February IS:
Business in the hop market continues unusu
ally active for the time of year, and several
large parcels have changed hands during the
past week at prices which show improvement
upon those lately current. The demand is,
however, by no means of an Indiscriminate
character, but is confined to the best of the
hops now remaining. Many off-color hops are
quite sound and free from blight, and it is this
description, as well as the more colory hops,
which are In demand. There has been an ap
preciation in values of from 10s to 15s per
hundredweight In this class from the lowest
quotations ruling In December, and thTmarkot
is now, to a great extent, cleared of these hops.
The bulk of the demand at present is running
upon hops from 30s to 50s per hundredweight.
Callfornlan hops are quoted at S4s per hundred
weight, and several parcels of yearlings have
lately been reshlpped to America. With for
eign hops thus firmly held, and In view of the
fact that the English crop was last season
overestimated, the present healthy tone of trade
is likely to continue.
The London Times reports, under date of
London. February 18. as follows:
Borough hops A fair quantity of English
hops changed hands, with a good inquiry from
local and provincial merchants and brewers.
Factors havo in some cases realized 2s ad
vance for fair quality copper grades, and prices
for anything except the much deteriorated par
cels continue to rule firm, the bids transmitted
to growers having frequently been declined.
Holders are rather indifferent, owing to the
rapid absorption of supplies. Continental hops
"rule steady, but for coloring samples, differ
rates are being asked. American and Califor
nia growths are in good demand, and prices
are very firmly held, supplies being unusually
scarce.
POTATOES Four steamers from Portland,
and ono from Coos' Bay, arriving at San Fran
cisco, within a period of 15 days, placed on
the California market 3T500 sacks of Oregon
potatoes. Nearly 25,000 sacks of these potatoes
reached that market within a space of eve
days, and naturally much weakness was felt
with such a load on the market. That thoro
Is a very firm tone to the market Is apparent,
however, from the fact that It has emerged
from this weight In very good shape. As soon
as tho prico weakened In Portland to about $1
per sack, holders quit selling, and the last
steamer from here carried only about 5000
sacks. As a result, prices have stiffened up,
and yesterday good stock was again selling for
$1 15 and f 1 25 per cental. There Is still a
good demand for Early Rose for seeding pur
poses at $1 25 per cental.
EGGS Tho egg market Is about as badly
demoralized as It ever gets at this season of'
the year, and receipts are the heaviest on rec
ord for so early In the Spring. There Is a
very poor demand from outside sources, and
the only relief that Is offered is by cutting the
price eo low that the local demand will be
largely Increased. With eggs at 15c per dozen
retail, and meat at extravagant prices, there
will be a heavy Increase in the demand -tor
homo consumption. Most of the rales were
made yesterday at 13k4T14c but some dealers
claimed to be able to buy in round lots as low
as 13c per dozen. Several hundred cases were
sold for shipment east and north, on the basis
of 14c, free cases, which will net about 13Vc
Some dealers are of the opinion that present
prices will have a tendency to hold back ship
ments from the country, and accordingly im
prove the price. If It doesot, the price will
sink to a cold-storage basis before the end of
the week.
POULTRY Receipts of chickens have been
smaller than tho demand this week, and there
is. accordingly, a pretty stiff market for best
stock. There is no difficulty In securing $5
and $5 50 for best old chickens, and a fancy
coop of old hens sells occasionally at ?0 per
dozen. Ordinary stock from 50c to ?I 50 per
dozen lower. Ducks are easier, and In the ab
sence of any further demand from tho Chinese,
the trade will absorb but a limited number of
the birds. Geese aro dull, as they have been
for several weeks, and sell slow at quotations.
Turkeys are In small demand for the Sunday
trade, and best dressed stock sells at 1510c
per pound. Live nominal at 12Vc per pound.

ment Soon After the Opening.
CHICAGO. March 5. Wheat bulls had fair
encouragement soon after the opening. Cables
were only slightly higher, but Northwestern re
ceipts were much reduced. Added to this was
the bullish factor of dry weather reports from
the Southwest. The effect of the early bullish
surroundings was not felt with full force unttl
nearly an hour after the opening. Trad in
general was slack, but the crop conditions
Anally awakened buyers from the country. The
Southwestern markets were active. St. Louis
advancing May prices lc May here opened
a shade lower to unchanged, at TOHc to 7O&0
76VJc and gradually advanced to 7CHc Shorts
had covered to some extent, though many spec
ulators paid little attention to the damage re
ports. The pmall receipts In the Northwest
started the. story that the crop yield had been
overestimated. There were no prospects of
moisture In the Southwestern States, but the
prices that had been built on this basis did not
hold when liquidation began near tho close.
May eased off to Its lower opening price, and
closed barely firm at 70jsc
Garn was given some support by the local
bulls, and prices ruled strong for a time. Dull
ness, however, characterized the trade In gen
eral. May closed barely firm, !S0!c up, at
C1T40O2C.
There was an early demand In oats which
held prices firm. Later profit-taking caused a
weak market. May sagged and closed easy,

Speculative Sentiment Somewhat Re
assured Over the Money Ontlook.
NEW TORK, March 5. Speculative sentl
picnt was fomewhat reassured today over tho
money outlook, and the rather acute weakness
with which the trading ended last night was
overcome after a time. It was In evidence
during the morning, but the market gradually
settled back into its recent condition of dull
ness and spottiness, the specialties again com
ing to the front. There were some fairly sen
sational gains here end there, which served
to keep the undertone of the narrow market
steady. The money market tailed to show the
eudden comtrlctioa of supplies which tvas
dreaded yesterday as a result of the unexpect
edly heavy demands cosvergtag upon the New
Tork money market.
The calling of subscriptions to the 8an Fran
cisco traction merger proved a relieving fovea
to some degree. Instead of aggravating the
stringency, as had been feared. This, was due
to the fact that foreigners are subscribers to
the syndicate, and their remittances to New
Tork In response to the call relaxed somewhat
the foreign demand for gold. No further
actual engagements of gold were-Tns.de today,
and not all the gold that was expected was
packed for tomorrow's steamer. It Ib not a
forced supposition also that the $1,000,000 block
of Government bonds offered for redemption
yesterday was preconcerted as a set-off o the
gold to be deposited at the Snbtreasury for tel-egraphl(r-transfer
to San Francisco. The move
ment to San Francisco has some puzzling fea
tures about It. and the applications to the
Washington authorities for permission to trans
fer $50,000,000 to $00,000,000 to San Francisco
arouse surmise as to other possible demands.
Money in London was appreciably easier to
day, and sterling at Paris rose a fraction.
Both of these movements are an index of re
laxed pressure forgold upon New Tork. Tho
question of further exports this week beyond
the shipment of $1,500,000 by tomorrow's steam
er, and the $1,250,000 engaged for Saturday's
ateamer. Is, therefore, an open one. The ab
sence of apprehended stringency In the money
market was supplemented by some good returns
ofgross earnings of railroads for the fourth
week of February, and by confident assurances
hat there was ao cause for fcar'of labor trou
bles In the anthracite coal fields.
Of the day's specialties, Colorado & South
em again became conspicuous on an enormous
demand, with revival of rumors of buying for
control. The advance In Chicago & Northwest
ern was on unusually large dealings for that
closely held stock, and was without spectflo
explanation. The death of Leonard Lewlsohn
induced some selling of Amalgamated Copper,
but the stock found support Missouri Pa
cific was under some pressure, but rallied with
the rest of the market and closed with a small
net gain. The United States Steel stocks main
tained their Inertness and moved within a
fractional range There were wldo movements
lna number of less Important stocks. Realiz
ing made some inroads upon the best prices,
and the closing was dull and Irregular, but
with substantial net gains remaining.
There was no marked activity In tho bond
market, and the mo ement bt prices there was
somewhat Irregular. Total sales, par value
$2,020,000. United States 2s advanced It pr
cent on the last call.

$20,000,000. will be deposited In the Subtreaa
ury in New Tork. and a like amount withdrawn-
from the San Francisco Subtrenmiry. It
19 the ODlnlon of many bankers that this

for tho payment of such stockholders In Cali
fornia as may wish to receive their money in
