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.

NEW YORK, April 23. Conditions in the
metal market at home and abroad eomewhat
favored buyers today.
At London tin prices closed 5s net lower,
with spot at 126 15s. and futures at 122 7s
Gd. At New York the bid price was about 25
points lower, to 27!4627c for spot, the tone
ruling easy.
Copper was easier generally, with sales of 60

EXCITING DAY IN WHEAT

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. The wheat-traders
were seriously aroused over the criti
cal condition of the crop, and. bought with
the conviction that there ''was money In
It' Trade was enormous, possibly as
large as on the big bull campaign last
December. There was practically no time
when the market was not advancing and
at big jumps. May opened c up at
7475e, and soared to 77c, closing "very
atrong and excited, 2c up to 76c
-Corn had the influence of the wheat
boom to start It advancing, but the real
bull Incentive In this pit, was the re
newed heavy buying by the big commis
sion houses, which. It was reported sev
eral weeks ago, were trying to corner
July options. Wall Street is said to be
behind this crowd, and as the big lines
were accumulated, "toilers" followed and
bought feverishly, The market was
stronger at the close. May closed strong.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
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.

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.

Foreijcn Financial News.
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.

PORTLAND. April 22. (To the Editor.)
In The Oregonlan of this date there Is an
editorial, "Peanut Politics." There the
name of "Spencer." along with Cohen,
Bernstein, Tlchenor and a number of oth
er Simon Democrat-Republicans appeared.
Now I wish it distinctly understood that
I am not of the grasshopper breed of Re
publicans, like the above-named gentle
men, and do not hop around from one
party to the other. And you will do me
a favor when you mention Spencer asain
to put the Initials, so my friends will
know. Yours. E. W. SPENCER.
