COMMERCIAL AND
There was considerable activity 1b the wbole
"eale districts yesterday, especially -when It U
considered that it Is the middle of the month,
-which, from a trade standpoint. Is generally
considered "between hay and grass." Produce
receipts were heavy, and there was a pretty
'good market all round, so far as prices were
concerned. Potatoes rallied again In spite of
the heavy shipments to California, and were
again quoted above $1 25 per cental for btst
i stock. Onions were Inclined to weakness. Poul
try came In more freely than at any previous
day for the past fortnight, but the excellent
demand prevented anything like weakness. A
couple of carloads of bananas came In yes
terday morning, arriving In good Bhapo for lmr
mediate use. Considerable California butter
was also received, but It had no effect on the
price of the Oregon stock.
Oats are a little weaker under larger receipts
and only a moderate demand. With the Gov
ernment out of the market, tho local demand
will not take up very large offerings, and for
tho present prices are In a fair way to drag
a little. Wheat was weak again yesterday,
with a downward tf-uency In the East. Gro
ceries were unchanged.
March business to date has been very satis
factory In all lines, showing, "as It does, a
good Increase over tho business of the same
month In corresponding years. Bank clearings
for the first three days of the current week
are In excess of S1.C50.000, a sum nearly a
third larger than In the corresponding week
a year ago. Tho movement of wheat Is In
clined to bo clow, but there Is so much money
coming Into the state through the lumber and
stock Industries, and other lines of business,
that more than a stand-off Is made for the
slack movement In tho premier cereal.
WHEAT One or two small sales of wheat
wero reported yesterday at 6iHc for Walla
Walla, but there is very little business doing,
and the general appect of the situation bears
more resemblance to July business than to
Zlareh. One or two new charters have been
made during the pa3t week, but the ships taken
were small carriers, which wlfl be used In
cleaning up docks. It being almost an Impossi
bility to buy wheat on an export basis, even
with freights at present low -figures. The ship
ments for the month will be something In ex
cess of 1,000,000 bushels, and in wheat and
flour Portland and Pugot Sound will roll up
shipments well on toward 3,000,000 bushels for
the month. There will be a sharp decline In
the volume of this business next month, how
ever, for wheat and tonnage supplies are alike
limited. Shipowners have taken alarm at the
low rates in the north, and have halted some
of their vessels at San Francisco, and have
ordered others away from the Coast altogether.
This -had the effect of temporarily stiffening
rates on the spot ships here and on Puget
Sound, and rates have moved up from 23s paid
in Portland to 20s 3d paid yesterday for a
small carrier.
The San Francisco market Is In a demoralized
condition, and fixtures have been made as low
as 22s Gd. As San Francisco has this year
been dependent more than ever on ballast ton
nage. It would seem that there shodfd be no
discrimination mad In favor of that port, and
In chartering to arrive from a distance, no
difference is made, but with spot tonnage, the
Bay City exporters are in a better position to
dictate terms. In the north, if a wheat char
ter is not obtainable, a ship can secure lum
ber or coal, and Is thus rendered more Inde
pendent and in a position to ask higher rates,
while In San Francisco it is wheat or nothing.
But little has been done in new-crop ships r
cctly, but owners are asking a considerable
advance over spot rates.
The recent charters have left but three free
ships in the Northwest. One of these, which
withdrew from the market because she could
not secure 30s, Is now offering for less money.
Her owners were waiting for the surplus of
that 53,000,000-bushel crop which was used by
eomo Irresponsible fakers to keep freights up
long after the actual situation was known and
understood locally. They have lost money in
learning that 8.000,000 to 10.000.000 bushels of
that 53,000,000 crop was "hot air." and are
now endeavoring to do business on business
principles.
Crop-damage reports seem to be all in, and
while the statements are conflicting in many
localities, the area to be re-seeded will prob
ably among to between 325,000 and 400,000
acres. This will require about three cargoes of
wheat, and as Spring wheat seldom turns out
as well as Winter wheat, the net results of the
damage may be considerable by the end of the
season. With favorable weather, however. It
Is possible for the reseeded land to turn, off a
crop which will swell the total yield to figures
nearly, if not quite, equal to those which might
havo been obtained from Winter wheat.
The Eastern market was very much dis
tressed yesterday, loiing a full cent on the
day, and Europe was also reported lower. At
the samo time there Is considerable bullish
ness shown In Eastern trade papers and among
local operators, and a general belief that bet
ter prises will follow the present period of
sluggishness. American shipments have been
remarkably heavy for the season, amounting
to March 1 (flour Included) to 173.165,501 bush
els, compared with 131.4SC.43C bushels, com
pared with the same period last year. The
Cincinnati Price Current, in reviewing Its crop
correspondence for the week ending last Sat
urday, says:
The past week, indeed the month so far, has
lx-en favorable for the growing wheat crop,
and -its previous condition is being fully main
tained, the present promise being fairly good,
taking tho situation as a whole. During the
jiast two days more or less heavy rains have
fallen over the wheat belt; it was heaviest
where most needed. In Oklahoma and Southern
Kansas. For the present, at least, the appre
hension of a damaging' drouth Is allayed. While
the surface soil Is now generally well supplied
with moisture, the subsoil Is yet deficient over
a large part of tho winter wheat area. Oats
seeding Is now In active progress, with condi
tions favorable; a large acreage will likely be
planted. The movement of all grains In tho
Interior is light or only moderate. Corn con
tinues to find a good demand from feeders.
HOPS New crop contracting continues to be
about tho only business In hops In this city,
and there is not very much of this form of
speculation indulged In compared with the
amount that was being done earlier In the sea
son. In old crop a sale is reported at North
Taklma of 280 bales at 13c per pound. This
figure Is higher than local buyers are quoting.
New York mall advices to March 14 are aa
follows:
It was learned that a limited amount of new
business was transacted, a sale being made
Thursday of 50 bales choice state hops at full
values, the price paid bolng 18c As a rule,
however, brewers are supplied for the next two
months or so, and as the payment of licenses
is now beginning to receive their attention
dealers as a rule are looking forward to a dull
market for the next six weeks. Confidence In
the situation continued general, holders show
ing no anxiety to move their very moderate
stocks, and prices were well maintained. The
exports of hops for the past week amounted to
383 bales, of which 330 bales wero choice state
hops shipped by the principal exporters of
state hops, and which, it is understood, were
bought at a price up the state equal to 18c f.
o. b. steamer at New York.
WOOL The local wool market remains quiet,
with a fair amount of inquiry from the East
regarding prices and prospects for the coming
clip. The weather continues favorable for the
flocks, and a big clip Is expected. The Eastern
wool situation Is thus reviewed by the ,New
"York Journal of Commerce, under date of
March 15:
The local market still remains in a quiet
condition, and, though there are few sales of
Importance, prices continue firm. Buyers can
not be forced Into buying. They are taking
wool only whore absolute needs make It neces
sary, and where the wool Is needed there Is
comparatively little haggling over prices. Many
Inquiries are coming to hand, and, of course,
there Is more or less business doing. The large
mills, however, are reported to be fairly well
supplied, and only come into the market for
'specials. Smaller mills continue to hold to the
conservative course adopted at the beginning
of the season and fill In stocks when the need
arises. Of course, there are a good many low
l offers being made, but it Is more with an Idea
of keeping In touch with the market and of
FINANCIAL NEWS
seelnc where the weak point are, and sot for
the purpose of purchasing, that this course Is
pursued.
The pulled wool market haa again settled
down to quiet condition, and few sale are
reported for any quality. The principal interest
has been toward supers As and Bs. which are
held firmly- at 44$4&c and 34935c. respectively.
Cs have also been inquired for, and quotations
are made at 3820c Fine cosablng pulled Is
quotable unchanged, but there Is no large stock
In the market, and holders regard It as good
property. Texas wool has not kept up the
slight activity noted last week, but prices are
held firmly. Foreign wools continue quiet, and
little movement of stocks can be reported for
the week past. Carpet wools are dull, with
little doing outside of direct importations. A
few lots of. China, have been moved, but com
paratively little business Is being done.
POTATOES AND ONIONS The steamer sail
ing Tuesday night left about 3000 sacks of po
tatoes that were expected to go south on her,
and as the next Bteamer sailing will have less
room she also will take moderate shipments.
This will probably keep the market steady for
a few days, and yesterday some of tho buyers
were paying as high as f 1 30 for fancy stock.
The bulk of the sales, however, are around ?1
and $1 10, with ordinary stock selling as low
as 80c and 00c Onions are easier on account
of poor markets In the South and East. Colo,
rado Is still dumping onions Into territory for
merly claimed by Portland at lower rates than
can be met by Portland shippers.
BUTTER-CaUfomla butter 1b now coming
to hand In regular Installment, but as yet It
has had no bad effect on the local market, and
the best of It sells up within a- fraction of the
best Oregon stock. Fancy brands of Oregon
creamery are still scarce at 30c per pound, and
for fair to good there Is no difficulty- In clean
ing up at 25c and 27Hc Dairy and store
steady at quotations. About 10 days ago the
San Francisco market weakened sufficiently to
threaten lower prices all round, but It has
since recovered, and Is selling so close up to
the price secured for Oregon stock that there
is not much inducement to handle It.
EGGS TUie egg market Is holding Is own
with remarkably heavy receipts. The situation
has been helped somewhat lately by liberal
shipments to Alaska and to Puget Sound ports,
and for several days the price has hung around
14c. It was reported yesterday that some deal
ers were offering to shade this figure He for
round'lota, but had they been very anxious to
do so, would undoubtedly havo found buyers,
as a number of retailers were selling 14o eggs
for ICc retail. Tho near approach of Easter
will also assist In a measure in preventing
much weakness at this time.
POULTRY The demand for chickens is the
best that It has been for many months, and
It does not require very fancy stock to sell up
to $5 per dozen, and for choice large hens the
price runs up around $7i in fact, one coop of
Plymouth Rocks which wero sold a few days
ago by weight netted over $8 per dozen. Re
ceipts yesterday were larger than they havo
been at any time for the past week, but nearly
all of the dealers had. In addition to their local
trade, numerous orders from out of the city
requesting them to ship all the chickens they
had. As no mention was made of prices. It Is
apparent that there Is a kind of a chicken fam
ine In the land. Ducks and geese are In poorer
demand proportionately, but some of the
strength that is so pronounced In chickens is
also shown In these birds. Turkeys sell In a
limited way at 14c and 18c dressed, and 12Uc
and 13c live. Two of three coops of Spring
chickens reached the city yesterday, and al
though they wero but little beyond the "peep
er" stage they sold at f5S5 50 per dozen.

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, March 10. It Is not often that
the stock market witnesses such a series of
spectacular and sensational movements as -It
was treated to today, and It was rather a dull
market at that. In fact, the dullness lb the
general list was extreme, and prices of the
Important railroad stocks moved only with tUe
utmost reluctance. The usual favorites among
the Industrials had a larger share In the trail
ing, both Amalgamated Copper and Sugar oc
cupying fairly prominent places. But It was
among the stocks which are traded In only .at
Intervals of weeks, as a rule that the specula
tions were fierce and the prico movements vio
lent. There was nothing In the way of news
to explain why buying orders for 4600 shares
of Colorado Fuel should make a wide- opening
In that stock all the way from par to 107, com
pared with OS last night. During the day, the
dealings In this stock continued very heavy
and the .fluctuations feverish. Activity was" re
vived In New York Air Brake with a Jump of
101 in price, and a subsequent relapse, of fully
half that. North American suffered from real
ising after the opening advance, but forged up
ward again to 6VI above last night, and fluc
tuated wildly. The rise of 5V4 in General Elec
tric and an advance of 8 in Westlrighouse Elec
tric were due to rumors of consolidation but
both of these reacted sharply. In tho railroad
list, Chicago, Indianapolis A. Louisville was
rushed up 4H on rumors that it was to be
placed on a. 4 per cent dividend basis. Lata In
the day, St. Louis & San Francisco sprang
Into activity with an advance of nearly 4
points, due to published reports that the com
pany contemplated an extension to the Pacific
Coast. There was some late strength also In
Atchlon. which was practically the only rail
road stock of first Importance which moved
as much as a point. The rise of 2H in Sugar
was due to the agreement reached at Wash
ington on the Cuban sugar tariff and also to
the certificate of condition filed with the Mas
sachusetts Secretary showing large Increase In
resources. Meantime, there were wide declines
in stocks which have enjoyed recent periods of
strength, the losses being caused by the mar
keting of only a few shares. Amongst these
were losses of 4 points each In Chicago &
Northwestern preferred and Glucose preferred.
Wells-Fargo dipped 7H on one transaction and
rallied 2i on another. These violent, move
ments caused so much confusion and distrust
among speculators generally that the trading
became neglected.
Anxiety was also renewed regarding the Im
mediate fnture of the money market, which
showed a hardening tendency today. The con
ference of coal miners at Shamokln was also
an unsettling influence.
The bond market was rather dull and Irregu
lar. Total sales, $2,615,000. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

GRAIN' MARKETS.
Wheat Takes a Tarn Doira-vrard at
CaleaKO Other Cereals Weak.
CHICAGO, March 19. Early la the day,
when prices were a little lower on the warm
weather reports and steady cables, the local
crowd took to the buying side In the wheat
pit. May wheat opened HUo. lower, at ?46
74c, and advanced on a fair commission trade
to 7&c The outsiders, however, did not buy
in large enough volume to support such a mar
ket, especially in 'view of the bearish feeling
prevalent in the Southwest. Rain predictions
for some of the suffering country gradually
had Its effect, and the whole crowd changed
front. Wheat broke, the crowd sold, coarse
grains began to slip downward, and as the
market turned weak, there was a general ham
mering of prices. May dropped 78ftc and closed
weak. He lower, at 740.
Corn was bearish to start with on the grow
ing bearish sentiment Southwest and the good
weather In that country. May closed weak,
H0Hc lower, at fil061V4c
Oats were fairly steady until the sharp break
In other grains. May closed weak. c lower,

mer salary having been $1200. The ordi
nance woe disapproved by Mayor Boyle,
amended, repassed and then approved.

Mayor Boyle sued the city for the re
mainder of his salary had It remained
at the $1200 figure.
The Supreme Court In reversing the
ruling of the lower court which declared
for Mr. Boyle holds that the latter had
publicly favored reduction in salaries and
had approved an ordinance providing for
such reduction and that judgment there
fore could not stand.
Specimens Front Siberia.
NEW YORK. March lO.MDne hundred
and thirty-six boxes of relics, toys, musical
instruments, models of housea and facial
masks have arrived at the American Mu
seum of Natural History from Siberia.
They were collected by three members of
the Jesup expedition. The specimens are
for the anthropological department of the
museum, and .are expected to serve as ob
ject lessons of the life of the peculiar
races living In the northeastern part of
Asia.
The pottery which has now been found
in Siberia Is remarkably similar to that
discovered In Alaska, and the great ques
tion the Jesup expedition Is studying Is
that of the supposed primitive migration
of man from Asia to America.
