Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY,, APRIL 30, . 1902. 13 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS It was a bad day for woolgrowers and dairy men la the local market yesterday, but Quite favorable for potato growers. A sensational drop of 2c per pound In the Eastern -wool mar ket, due to the strike, was reflected In the local market, some buyers remaining out altogether, wnlla others put out quotations In keeping with ilw -decline In the East- The extent of the trouble cannot be determined at present, but xintll there la an adjustment, prices will suffer. The butter market, which was decidedly "wob bly" at 20c on Monday, lost Its balance yes terday, and tumbled to 17c for best cream ery, and some sales were made as low as 10c Hecelpts were very heavy, and some dealers are predicting still lower prices. Potatoes were wearing again yesterday, and as high as $1 75 $or cental was paid for some fancy stock, al though this figure was more than some deal ers would pay. and the bulk of the sales were wade around ?1 50 and $1 G3. Receipts are In creasing again and, from present appearances the next steamer will take out a much heavier consignment than went forward on the last one. Poultry was very scarce yesterday, and It Is a continual "scrap" among retailers to secure enough to meet their demands. Some choice 1802 Springs sold at ?6 per dozen, and old chickens were In demand from $5 50 to $7 per 3oxen. Eggs were 6teady at unchanged prices. Mew potatoes were slightly lower, at 3c per pound. A carload of bananas arrived yesterday, some or them being a little too ripe for ship ping, but In. good condition for the hawkers. Groceries show but -little change. Beans are firmer, but not quotably higher. Lard and pro visions are higher. Bank Clearing. Exchanges.

The Eastern wheat market steadied up a lit tle yesterday, and this, together with a fairly good tone to the cables, kept the local market steady, but quotations are still to a consider able extent nominal. The wheat is pretty well cleaned out of most sections, and those who are still holding demand fancy figures. The big lot mentioned In The Oregontan's news columns as sold by W. H. Babcock was all choice blucstem. and was divided up among half a dozen buyers at Tacoma. The price paid was C7He, and is said to be about lc above the export value, based on 25s ships, which are not available Just at present, except for big carriers. No new transactions are reported In freights, even new-crop ships being neg lected again. "Weather conditions are quite favorable east of the mountains, but In the Valley nearly all prospects of getting In any Spring grain have vanished, and the acreage of that variety will be about the smallest it has been at any time In the past 10 years.

' ' STEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Strong Evidence of a Diminishing Speculative Interest. NEW YORK. April 20. The movement of prices was confined and Irregular throughout the day, and there was evldcnco of & diminish ing speculative interest. The wide movements in high-priced stocks continued a feature, but the Influence of the advances was Impaired by some equally notable relapse in stocks where attempts were made to take profits. A case In point was that of New York, New Haven & Hartford, which fell violently 0 points on an attempt to market a small amount of stocks because of the emphatic disclaimers from both Pennsylvanlan and New York Central author ities of the rumors of purchase of control. There was a late rally of .several points In the stock. New York Central and Pennsylvania also quieted down from their recent activity and strength. In fact, there was xery little show of strength throughout the Eastern rail road field. The session of the Joint committee of oper ators and miners todlscuss disputed points In the anthracite field was a 'repressive influence on all coalers. The decrease reported In Read ing surplus earnings for March was an un favorable influence. The very heavy decrease In net earnings of the Southern Railway for March was certainly not a stimulating In fluence, although It was accounted for largely by the notable Increase In operating expenses. The Western railroads, on the other hand, were benefited by the crop news, and by the weekly crop bulletin of the weather report, which was considered very favorable, not only regarding the condition of Winter wheat, but as to the progress made In seeding corn and Spring wheat. The grain-carrying railroads also were helped by the special strength of the Northwestern stocks, which rose 10 and 5, respectively. Rock Island gained an extreme 5?4. but lost over 2 points of It. The strength of the Wabash stocks, and of the Wheeling & Lake Erie stocks was evidently due to the ap parent certainty that the bid of the syndicato representing the Gould Interest for the West ern Maryland will be accepted. The Industrials were marked by quite as great Irregularity as the railroads, and changes there were constant and variable A further advance In the foreign market and a drop In the rate of sterling t Parts, both contributed to narrow the margin still remaining from the gold export point. The money market, how-i ever, was still undlsturoed. The bond market maintained a firm tone to day. Total sales, $3,770,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

CHICAGO, April 29. Wheat was firm and higher at the opening. Liverpool cables did not show a decided response to the break here yes terday. Receipts were still small, and Kansas was still sending in reports of her crop condi tion. Both the Northwest and Southwest con tradicted the report that farmers' deliveries were more liberal, and said wheat was as hard to buy from first hands as at any time. Re ports from North Dakota said this condition covered much of the field. On the other hand, rains were copious in most of the Ohio "Valley. There was a little spurt of buying at the start, but. as on yesterday, this turned to a selling pressure later, and early gains were lost. Pro fessionals, however, continued to buy In the dull market, and prices reacted slightly. July opened c higher to unchanged, at 75075. advanced to 75075c and closed firm, c up, at 757b5 75c Fair buying by the most prominent bull In terests supported corn today. Trade, however, was dull. July closed firm, 3c up, at 63 C03e. Oats received no assistance from corn or wheat. The recent heavy rains were deemed beneficial to the sown oats .and receipts were much more liberal than of late. July closed weak, c lower, at 36c. . The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening. Highest. Lowest, Closing. May 0 74 $0 74 $0 74 $0 74 July 75 75 75 75 September ... 74 75 74 "4 CORN.

"Winter Wheat Makes Good Progress on the Pacific Coast. WASHINGTON, April 29. The Weather Bu reau's weekly summary of crop conditions con tains the -following: Much-needed and generally abundant rains fell over a large part of the Missouri, Upper Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys, but condi tions of drouth have continued In the Upper Ohio "Valley. Middle Atlantic States and over the Southeastern Rocky Mountain slope. Rain Is now very generally needed over the greater part of the Southern States. A heavy snow storm Interfered with farm work in Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota during the early part of the week, and the high and drying winds of the latter part. In the Central Val leys and Middles States were detrimental. The temperature conditions in the Southern States and in the Northern districts east of the Mis sissippi were 'cry favorable, but the week was too cool for favorable growth In the Rocky Mountain and North Pacific Coast States. On the Pacific Coast, Winter wheat has made fa vorable progress. A heavy crop is promised In California, north Of Tehachlpl. The fruit outlook continues promising, except fdf peaches in portlchs of the central valleys. Nevr York Grain and Produce. NEW YORK. April 29. Flour Receipts. 20, 100 barrels: exports. 1100 barrels.

Dreyfns Admitted His Gnllt. CHICAGO, April 23. Alleged secrets of tile Bteytua caae Were confided to Uni versity of Chicago students by Hughes Leroux. The French lecturer declared that Captain Dreyfus admitted guilt at the time he was pardoned. "Captain Dreyfus not only was guilty of conspiracy against the French Govern ment, hilt he confessed to a number of charges and asiced fof mercy when sign ing a petition for a pardon," was the statement with which the French lawyer and lecturer astonished his audience. "That Dreyfus actually admitted his guilt Is not generally known, even by peo ple who endeavored to follow the case closely in all its phases." M. Deroux explained to the students that his knowledge of the case came largely from the fact that he was asked by friends of Captain Dreyfus to take up the defense of the prisoner.
