Newspaper Page TextTHE MOKNING OREGONIAU, SATURDAY, . APEIL 19, 1902. , 13 OOMMRG1AL AND Tanners persist In the belle? that -wheat trill 1 o Jilshcr, and present quotations do not get t n train. Th Chia-o market yesterday rc- t fated the tactics of Wednesday, but the tor- c p. markets were steady, and there was no j ...ance in tee ioai situation, one cranu ii 1(. ,0W bushels was closed at 25 Cd for im media'e loading. Oats advanced materially, and are in good demand. The flour market 1 r.ot -at all satisfactory to the mlllmen, the foreign demand being very light. Potatoes are still In active demand, with a tendency to advance in price. Everything Is in the growers' favor, and they are making the most of it. Onions are also firm. Egg6 are weak. Receipts are quite large. an3 the market hesitates at present prices. The fcuprly of butter Is also larger than the dealers can find a market for. The poultry market Is firm, and there will be no difficulty to clean tip today, though prices are pretty high. The market is loaded with veal, and the prlcels tlnking. Oranges and bananas continue scarce, but the prices keep the demand down. Most of the bananas In town arc green, and will require ripening before they will be ready for consump tion. California strawberries are expected to arrive next week. Nominal wool quotations are a little lower, owing to difficulties at the Eastern factories, and mohair is up a trifle. Local competition is driving the price of mohair considerably above the figures warranted by the Eastern market. Oregon's product of about 200,000 pounds is deemed very desirable, and the grow ers are making the most of their opportunity. Bank Clearings. Exchanges. Balances.

Larsre Speculative Forces Again Be hind the Dealings. NEW YORK, April 18. Tho varied activity of very largo speculative forces was still mani fest in the stock market today. The move ment of prices was entirely characteristic of an active speculative movement under a. well centered and aggressive leadership. The deal ings were on a. larger scale than those of yes terday, and progress was made also in the breadth of the movement, and the variety of FINANCIAL NEWS Ihe stocks dealt In. Tho average of the dally dealings for the week has been brought up to impressive proportions, and. In fact, to a level of huitalned activity that was entirely un precedented In the local stock market until IftFt year's new t ecords were established during tho period of greatest speculative excitement. There was nothing in the news today, or in the conditions or outlook, to account for the manner in which the new points of strength were constantly developed, while the older points of strength were left to drift downward, or were subjected to a judicious feeding of the demand for the purpose of realizing profits. Those stocks which spurted late in tho dy yesterday, and those which opened this morn ing with a vigorous upward movement, almost without exception, were subjected to realizing today, and closed the day with small net gains below the best prices. This was notably true of Atchison and the anthracite coalers, and was measurably true of stocks which showed periods of strength later in the day. Broadly speaking, leadership of the advance was shifted to St. Paul and then to Union Pacific, with a more moderate response among the other Southwesterns and Pacifies. South ern Railway and Louisville fell Into the back ground again. The bituminous coal carriers entered a period of strength, and there were a number of wide advances among scattered In dustrials and specialties. Colorado Fuel was active and strong on speculative supposition that absorption of that company Into the United States Steel Corporation had been as sured as part of the settlement of the control of Louisville & Nashville. International Power was extremely erratic, but rose an extnme 104. presumably on the dividend declaration yesterday. There were gains of between 2 and 8 points in North American, People's Gas, the rubber goods stocks. New York Air Brake, the American Snuff stacks, Fort "Worth & Denver City Stamp, and Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis. Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North ern dropped 10 points on a single sale, and Brooklyn Union Gas 3. Amalgamated Copper was quiet, but somewhat depressed, after Ja terday's dividend reduction. American Sugar was sold on the strength of the proposed amendment to the Cuban reciprocity bill to rescind the differential duty on refined sugar. The preliminary figures of the cash move ment for tho week, indicating a gain In re serve of over $1,500,000. and an easier tone in the money market, were calculated to sustain the speculative movement. The fact that ster ling exchange ha3 ruled easy throughout tho week. In spite of large American subscriptions to the new British loan, and some selling of securities here on London account, while the supply of, commercial bills of exchange is nota bly scant, is striking evidence of the large credit resources of this center in foreign mar kets. The market closed active and Irregular. The activity in stock has diverted interest in the bond markets which closed rather dull. Total Bales, $5,965,000. United States 3s, cou pon, advanced Vt per cent, and the old 4s, coupon, declined per cent on the last call. Closing Stock Quotations. 01 J- M 2. x 2 01 - o a n H DESCRIPTION.

Trading in wheat was much lighter today. The crowd feared possible rain news might cause a break at any moment. There was any quantity of bullish news, but the trade seemed deaf to anything but rain possibilities. The condition, as one expert put It, Is one of dryness from Pennsylvania to Texas, and north to the North Dakota line. The extreme of the dryness centers In Kansas. At the opening there was a short-lived spurt. May prices started c up, nt 74074c Prices were somewhat erratic dipping frequent ly, and then rallying, although the rallies were weaker each time. There was a rumor of rain falls West, and profit-taking and some short selling resulted. May closed weak, 0c low er, at 7373c Trade In corn was only moderately active and featureless. The close was weak, 'c lower, at 62c. Oats had a fairly good trade, though wheat and corn dragged It down. May closed c lower, at 43c The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. , Opening. -Highest. Lowest. Closing. May $0 74 $0 74 $0 73 $0 73U July 76 76 74 74j September ... 75 75 74 74 CORN.

Chicago Ulan Sends an Open Letter to the President. CHICAGO, April 18. Peter Van VUs slngen, who has been one of the most ac tive friends of the .Boers In Chicago, to day sent to President Roosevelt an open letter, advancing- an argument against the British mule traffic In the United States. He declares the traffic is In violation of the treaty of Washington. "Article six of the treaty," the letter reads, "lays down three rules by which arbitrators are to be governed. The second rule declares: 'A neutral government Is bound not to permit or suffer either bel ligerent to make use of its ports or waters as the basis of naval operations against the other, or for th purpose of renewal or augmentation of military supplies or arms or the recruitment of men.' " Further along the letter says: "Great Britain made no scruple of as serting the terms of the treaty of "Wash ington against this country upon the first and only occasion when our Government was at war with a foreign state. April 26, 1S38. the day after war was declared between the United States and Spain. Qjeen Victoria Issued a proclamation of neutrality. Insisting upon the observance of the treaty. In this proclamation Great Britain insists that her ports and waters shall not be used to abet the military activity of belligerent powers, and we now request the enforcement of this rule." Van Vllsslngen has been at work for months preparing material for this letter. He concludes with a request that the President give the matter "earnest con sideration and early attention." What "Xoon" Means. AKRON, O., April IS. Noon comes at 11:27 legal standard time in Akron, ac cording to a decision just handed down by the Supreme Court. Thomas Mier took out a fire-insurance policy on his saloon at 11:30, standard time, five years ago, the policy being dated noon of that day. At the very minute he was getting the policy the saloon caught fire and was burned. Ohio law makes standard time legal time, and the company refused to pay the $2000 insurance on MIer's saloon. The casa was fought through to the Su premo Court, which has decided that "noon" meant the tlmo the sun passed the meridian at Akron, whlcli Is at 11:27, stand ard time. The court ordered the insur ance company to pay. Chorns Girl's Fortune. CHICAGO, April 18.-MIss Sybil Clifton, one of the five flower girls In "The Chaperons," Is heiress to a fortune of $100,000 In oil lands, left by her uncle, Huntington Hale, who died near Beau mont, Tex., two days ago, and willed his estate to his niece.
