-v r THE MORNIBC OKKaONIAN, TflDBSDAX a$Xj Hi. I90& COMMERCIAL AND A backward Spring, with the wheat shipping season over earlier than usual, has had no ap parent effect In checking general trade In this city. The wool has not yet commenced to move, the salmon run Is so light as to have but little effect on business, and sales of wheat are of remarkably small proportions, but In eplte of this distributive trade In nearly all branches Is much heavier than In any corre sponding period In former years. This Is due to a considerable extent to the unparalleled activity la lumbering and logging, and to the large influx of newcomers who have come Into the country with considerable money, which they have exchanged for farms, stock, mer chandise, etc., and thus placed it Into circula tion. For potatoes alone, Portland dealers are still paying out an average of $2000 per day. and the supply as yet shows no sign of being ex hausted. With one or two exceptions prices have ruled pretty Arm for the past few days. Wheat has again advanced to about the best prices of the season in the local market, and potatoes are also selling at the top notch for the season. The wool market Is steady, and hops are Arm. The supply of poultry continues inadequate to the demand, and pork and pork products are also very firm, at high prices. Butter is easier, and for the past day or two eggs have again shown signs of weakness. The receipts of oats have been almost too heavy for the demand, and some weakness Is noted, but it may be remedied as soon as the Government again enters the market. Groceries are steady, with a "big demand for staples, but no material change in prices. WHEAT The comparatively email amount of wheat now coming out is selling at pretty full prices, and while nothing was reported yester day in excess of 0314c for Walla Walla, higher rates have been paid within the past few days. Under the stress of vigorous competition, Walla Walla was run above 67c at a point in the in terior where competition was particularly fierce. This figure was in excess of the export value Of the cereal, and, as has been the case sev eral times this season, it stiffened prices in the locality where the sale was made to such an extent that there has been no selling since. A new factor In the business, or rather the re appearance of an old factor, is the revlal of the trade with Utah. The low rate has been In effect but a few days, and as yet but small engagements have been reported, but the mills In that territory will require considerable wheat before another crop Is ready, and as the stocks on which they can draw in the Pacific Northwest have already been very much de pleted, any movement in that direction will be felt at once by the export trade on the Coast. The Valley crop is all out except a few small lots, most which will be required for milling purposes before next season. No sales of Val ley have been reported for the past two days, but 65c and C6c is obtainable. Freights continue fairly firm on distant ships and inclined to weakness on spot or near-by tonnage. Difficulty has been experienced in getting rates below 25s for spot ships, but the fact that two of them have been lying idle here for nearly two months is an indication that the demand Is not pressing, and they may yet be obliged to accept lower rates. There is considerable tonnage over in the Orient, or about due there, and some of it is offering for June-July loading at 2Ss to 28s 9d, but for any thing beyond July 80s is asked, with a possi bility of some business being worked at 20s. There has been no improvement of consequence in freights in other parts of the world, and even with a big crop on the Pacific Coast, the rates demanded by shipowners for distant load ing have the appearance of being rather high. The payment of 30s for half a dozen ships last week stiffened the Ideas of owners, however, and it will require several days of waiting to get them back to a supply and demand, and not theoretical, method of computing values. That C3.000,000-bushel wheat crop which some alleged crop experts worked so effectively in Inflating freights &st Fall and Winter will all be in sight very shortly, and when it Is discovered that there has been a shrinkage of about 10,000,000 bushels, or a matter of 100 shiploads, owners will realize that they have been holding the bag for the snipes that never came. The Eastern market has been at the mercy of the elements to the fullest possible extent for the greater part of the month of April, and the situation has become quite critical, Chica go advancing over 2c yesterday. There seems to bp good reason for the belief that In many places the small showers reported came too late, for reports that have been drifting West for a long time, have been so uniformly bad that It Is almost certain that the crop Is in very bad shape, even with showers from now on. The condition in Kansas is thus set forth by H. V. Jones, the Minneapolis wheat ex pert: There has not been a Boaklng rain in Kansas for a year; the last was on April 12 last year. Tho ground was dry last fall, and wheat did not get the start that will carry it to maturity. Fields are green, but without moisture the color will soon change. The state crop report of 1,000,000 acres plowed up Is conservative. Thousands of acres are now being used for pastures In all parts of the state, and plowing up will continue to May 1, when it will be planted to corn. The drouth Is most felt where wheat acreage is largest. The best counties in the state have plowed up 25 to 40 per cent of acreage sown. The crop is in a dangerous position, though at the moment It Is not serious. The Cincinnati Price Current, in reviewing crop conditions for the week ending last Sat urday, says: The wheat crop has made little growth dur ing the past week by reason of the cool weath er. The rainfall has been plentiful In the Eastern and parts of the Southwestern States, but was decidedly deficient over much of the principal wheat section. Opinion regarding the effect ot the cool weather on the wheat plant varies. Some believe that the plant has been benefited by it, by allowing it to strength en its roots and to stool well; on the other hand, some correspondents in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are apprehensive that the plant has been stunted or injured. Warmer weather and much more moisture is now desired. Most reports, however, are as favorable as heretofore, and in somo of the minor states an improve ment in the condition is noted. So. taking the situation as a whole, the plant may be said to continue in a fair average condition, taking the area as an entirety. The oats crop Is mostly In the ground, but Is making only fair progress; the weather has not been favorable for good growth. The corn crop Is mostly planted In the Southern States, and is doing well. In the Northern States the ground is breaking nicely for Spring crops. Not much seeding has been done yet in the Spring wheat states, but the ground is in good condiUon for receiving the grain. It is believed that the Spring wheat acreage in tho North west will not be much different from that of a year ago, but an Increased acreage of both flax and oats Is likely. Correspondents have little to say of the Interior movement of grain, but enough to Intimate that the movement of all grains is light, without special feature. Farm ers are busy in the fields, and there is no spe cial price Inducement to market grain. Foreign crop reports show but little change for the past week, but the outlook on the whole is fair throughout Europe, and stocks are very low. Argentina has passed the high-water mark for the season, and late reports from that country state that she will figure as an importer of seed wheat. The Northwestern Miller, under a Buenos Ayres date of. March 7, prints the following correspondence: It is years since the country has been in such a bad Condition; In the provinces of Santa Fe Cordoba and Entre Rlos everything is parched by drouth; in some parts it has not rained for more than six months. First of all the wheat crop went, and then the maize. Flax, how ever, has turned out superior to all estimates, and, whereas at the beginning of the season it was thought that we should have about 150.000 tons for export, it is more than probable that we will send away Just over 250,000. This great excess over the estimates Is due to the exceptional yield In the south of the' province of Santa Fe, and in the province of Buenos Ayres. In parts the yield has been equivalent to 1500 kilos per hectare. The result of the wheat crop has been so bad in the three upper provinces that the na tional government has had to guarantee a loan of $800,000 for the purchase of seed wheat for the colonists; Santa Fe is to get $500,000; Entre Bios, $150,000; Cordoba, $150,000. -jch a thing has never been known before. FINANCIAL NEWS It Is true that e, few years ago we did have to Import one or two cargoes of seed wheat, but we have never had such a miserable year in the upper provinces. On the other band. In the province of Buenos Ayres the crop is one of the best on record. I see no reason fqr modifying the estimate that I made in Novem ber that there would be about 400,000 tons for export; if anything. It may be & little less. Some have placed It at 250,000. POTATOES Fine weather'for farm work has again interrupted receipts of potatoes, and in spite of the recent advance to the alluring fig ure of $1 50 per cental, the quantity on spot Is much smaller than it has been for several weeks, the last steamer cleaning up nearly everything on hand, and still going out with only about 000 sacks. New potatoes are Im proving in size and appearance, and while they are still almost too watery to be a very good substitute for the old stock, they sell In a small way at 4c per pound. WOOL The only business in wool as yet is confined to the sale of an occasional small lot taken from the backs of mutton sheep. The weather has postponed shearing operations, and buyers are not yet making an active cam paign, although some are In the field looking over the situation; The Eastern market is thus reviewed by the New Tork Journal of Commerce, under date of April 19: Although the demand for wool Is regarded as showing Improvement in some quarters during the week, in others business has been slow, and the amount In the aggregate has reached mod erate proportions only. There does not appear to have been any buyers for large consuming interests in the market, nor any disposition on the part of others to purchase except against present needs. The conditions in 4je piece and knit goods market are not conducive to anything vln the nature of speculative buying. ad the disposition to await developments Is not difficult to understand. Offers for some large lots have been made, but. owing to the difference between buyers' and sellers' prices, they remain without settlement. Holders of wool are not apparently much dis turbed at the moment over the situation, and, although reports in several instances put the stock of wool carried here at a fair total, there has not been any pressure to sell. The reports of rather lower prices In some quar ters stated to have been accepted for parcels for immediate delivery are denied. The mar ket, as a whole, can be reported as steady and firm at previous quotations. Information to hand concerning the new clip indicates considerable firmness. Th principal business has been transacted in Nevada wools. Eastern buyers taking wool at prices approx imating those on the seaboard and growers very firm In their Ideas. The market for territories has been slow In low and medium grades, with a moderate busi ness in fine qualities, the latter owing to lim ited ready supplies bringing firm prices. Shear ing is reported to be already In progress in Texas. Pulled woole have been steady, but slow in demand. Foreign wools have been quiet but steady throughout at former prices. GROCERIES There Is an excellent demand for all staples, and prices are generally ruling steady, but not quotabjjf higher. The demand for sugar was so great at the low prices that dealers have stocked up so heavily that but little is selling at present. C. Czarlnkow, in his circular dated London, April 3, says ot sugar: The purchase of two or three beet cargoes for New Orleans, and one smaller lot for New York, created a stronger demand last week and a fresh rise of $&d per hundredweight; but when further orders did not follow values re ceded nearly 2d. Regarding the extent of beet sowings, there is still great uncertainty; it seems that factories are adopting a more uni form action than in previous years; they have come Into closer contact through their cartels and similar organizations; they are- better able to talk over and concert general lines of policy, and to avert a crisis by lowering the prices of roots, which may bring about the much desired reduction in sowings. In Bohemia a certain area is allotted to each factory, thus avoiding competition, and with the low prices quoted it is supposed that there will be a substantial reduction there, but not In Moravia nor Hun gary. About Germany and France nothing new can be said, and with the excess production of 1.100.000 tons this season we must be satisfied if visible supplies are not further Increased next year. Therefore, it is stlil safer to rely on a low level of values In order to reduce production than to trust to making profits by a premature rise in values. The French Govern ment has placed on the table a law amending sugar legislation In accordance with the Brus sels convention, reducing the excise duty from GOf to 40f. abolishing the refining and fabrica tion tax, as well as bounties from September, 1003. The bill will be discussed after the elec tions early in June. BUTTER The butter market continues weak, but there is a slight Increase in the demand at the present moderate prices, and stocks are not accumulating quite so rapidly as they were a short time ago. Fancy creamery is moving at 20c, with a fair amount of very good stock offering at 1718c Store butter is in a little better on account of a demand from logging and railroad camps and other outdoor indus trial enterprises. The market has soared up lo a point In the East that would admit of butter being shipped to New Tork, if there was any prospects for permanency In the pres ent ancy prices. A New Tork trade paper, under date of April 19, has tho following on the remarkable situation In the East: The highest price for the year on butter was reached yesterday, the best grade of fresh ta ble butter advancing to 33e a pound whole sale, or within 2c a pound of the record price In the Spring of 1S93. The price advanced lc yesterday over the previous day's figures, all along tho line. Those who are In a position to know declared yesterday that the increase is due, not to any speculative element or "con trol," but to the great scarcity of the product. The price of corn Is so high that farmers can not afford to fed It to cattle, the old crop of butter has been entirely cleaned up, and It is too early for new grass butter to arrive. In other words, tho present situation is the result of supply and demand, and up to the present time the consumption, it Is said, has not been affected to the extent anticipated. EGGS The market Is not very firm, but stocks were cleaning up better than they were last week, and single cases are moving all right at 16c, with round lots moving at 15Q 15c Some demand for shipment to the north. POULTRY Good chickens are very scarce, and sales have been made during the past few days at high prices, some of the stock com manding $0 50 and even $7 per dozen. Springs are wanted at $4 505 50 per dozen. So scarce have chickens -been for the past few days that most any kind of bird of the chicken family would sell up to $405 per dozen. Ducks and geese are not wanted at very high prices, but with chickens so scarce, sell In a, small way at quotations. Not much demand for turkeys, and quotations are nominal. Bank Clearlnars.

EXCITING DAY IN WHEAT SPECULATORS AT CHICAGO BULL TO A- MAN. - TUKJf Trade Kaaals That of Great Decem ber Campalgrn Strength Extends to Other Gralas. CHICAGO, April 23. Wheat went boom ing from the very start today. There -were numerous bullish Incentives, and the crowd turned bulla to a man. Cables started out strong and advanced. This was unexpected, and started the upturn. Then came the crop-damage scare tha.t set every one buying. The rains In tbe Winter wheat belt yesterday, though enough to allay the heat, were reported far from sufficient to save crops. Added to this came the weather report that freezing temperatures would probably be reached In some sections ot the South west tonight. Receipts also were exceed ingly light, an argument for rapidly de creasing stocks. Higher outside markets helped. Reports, both Government and private, persisted In the advice that crops were being badly damaged. The millers' association of Kansas reported the crop of that state at a. condition of 55. Indiana was said to be suffering, and advices stat ed that 20 to 25 per cent of the sown lands would be plowed up. There was a lot of liquidation for profits on the early ad vance, but commission-house buying started renewed spurts.

Rise in Grain Causes Depression, and Closing; Zs Heavy NEW YORK, April 23, Today's transfer of stocks again reached an aggregate of over 1,000.000 shares, but the animation of the spec ulation Is entirely wanting, transactions having shrunk from the nearly 2,000,000-shares busi ness Monday. There was great variety In the dealings today, but the undertone of the mar ket was decidedly heavy all day, and the ad vances In some portions of the list were In sufficient to clear up the tone. The weather news from the Western grain regions was the central topic of discussion. Prices were suc cessfully turned upward during the dealings, the grain carriers sharing fully In the advance. IA the case of Atchison, tho opening rise was 1, but half an hour later, when trading began In the grain markets, with prices strongly ad vancing these stocks gave way. The Govern ment weather map was'sufllclent evidence that yesterday's hopeful estimate of sufficient rain to undo any damage already done were new well-founded. The strong rise In the corn mar ket also helped to depress stocks, notwith standing the unlikelihood of. any accurate knowledge at this time of the chances of the corn crop. But the evidence at hand from day to day of the farireachlng effect of last year's corn shortage is so impressive that the speculative mind will evidently be very sensi tive to the prospect of the coming crop of that staple.

CAZJ, OR WRITS FOR INPOKMATIOK. MT. H. MEAD. General Agenl, - wmimmmmamBm taking tho Jead on the supposition that the settlement of the wage dispute Is Imminent. 'When, however. It was perceived that the strength In this section of the market had lit tle efteot In checking the dribbling liquidation of Western, railroad stocks, the movement of the coalers ceased and prices reacted. Efforts were .made on behalf or the large speculative leaders to -convey the Impression that the sharp reaction In prices has been connived at and furthered by manipulation, with the purpose ot shaking off weak speculative followers In prep aration for a renewed and stronger upward movement. The market, In fact, showed the stronger technical position resulting from the liquidation of the weaker class of the lightly margined accounts. The pressure to sell was much less urgent and the fall In prices not so violent, but the selling was no less persistent, and the- downward tendency -no ,less constant. The strength of sterling exchange called re newed attention to the possibility ot gold ex .ports, and revived discussion of the present heavily expanded credits. ;The provision made for the great steamship merger, the coming stock conversion by the United States Steel Corporation, the provision for tho purchase ot Louisville & Nashville, and the subscription to the Pennsylvania bond Issue for $50.000,000.. indicate some of the heavy requirements upon the present narrowed resources of the mouey market. An Incident of the- day was a sharp rally" In Sugar of 4li on the expressions of confidence from Washington that an agreement would be reached on the Cuban reciprocity bill.

NEW YORK, April 23. The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Stocks were still brisk and confident today, especially Investment Issues. Consols, which sold at 94. gave a good tone to tha trading. Settlements for months past have shown hardly any bull account, but this time a small specu latlvo commitment was disclosed, particularly In home rails. American stocks repeated their movement, al though business was much less. They opened above parity, expecting a scarcity of offerings, but there was a set-back on a general con tango of 4, with Louisville & Nashville even, St. Paul even, and Canadian Pacific 2. New York sold Atchison, weakening the market, but In the street New York again supported the coalers, particularly Erie and Reading, arid the close was strong. Copper was down to 52 per ton, and Rio Tlntos were down to 43. Gold to tha amount of 138,000 bars has been received, as well as 30.000 from Holland. The market was compelled to borrow 1,000,000 from the bank. Sliver was weaker, the shorts apparently hav ing covered, and tha outlook for the metal Is unsatisfactory. Money, Exchange, Etc.
