COMMERCIAL AND
The first -week in Mar has kept the record
for the year to date in good shape, and busi
ness in nearly all lines shows a satisfactory
increase over the corresponding period a year
ago, or in any previous year. Sank clearings
for the first six days ran up very close to
$5,000,000, and distributive trade In all lines
was enormous. The banks are sending large
quantities of money to the Interior to be used
in the wool and stock movement, and, as
usual, a large portion of this will drift back
to Portland In exchange for merchandise. The
wool season Is here at last, but the shearing
has not been in progress long enough to induce
much buying, and prices locally have not been
affected by the temporary decline In the East.
Potatoes are still selling at full figures. In
fact, they have climbed up pretty close to the
$2 mark. No sales have been made as high
as that, but the advance has been so steady
that It would not be surprising to see it con
tinue until even that figure is passed. Onions
are also reaching out for a new record for
high prices for the season. Groceries show but
few changes, but all staples aro quite firm.
Teal is inclined to weakness, but pork and
pork products continue to sell for high figures.
WHEAT The local wheat market Is undis
turbed by offerings of a sufficient magnitude
to create any interest In the situation. Most
of the exporters are quoting around C5c and
CoHic, but are unable to buy much at those
figures, and as high as 60c, and better. Is
frequently bid by "the other fellow." The
flour trade with the Orient continues at a, very
low ebb, and this obviates the necessity of
the mills paying much of a premium over ex
port values. Freights aro holding steady, with
Just enough new crop chartering being dono
to prevent anything like a relapse In ratee.
The spot tonnage disengaged in this port Is
not offering at present, and is probably here
to stay until next season, as there is not
enough wheat offering to induce exporters to
charter at the rates demanded. For new-crop
ships, 80s is being paid as far along as De
cember, 'and In San Francisco an early steam
er has been fixed at 28s Od. The condition
of the growing crop in the river counties con
tinues excellent, but there are some bad re
ports from certain sections farther up, the
Palouse being "spotted," and the Big Bend in
need of more moisture.
The Commercial "West, of Minneapolis, under
date of May 3, reviews the Northwestern
wheat movement as follows:
Lighter wheat receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth during April than In the same month
last year, together with lighter stocks than
ever before in country elevators, form a fao
tor of more than ordinary Interest to the mill
ing and grain trades at present. The 1000
crop was a. short one, and prices were ap
proximately the same during April last year
as they have been this year. Therefore, it
cannot be assumed that price has had much
effect cither way. Looking further for a rea
son for wheat receipts being lighter this April
on a good crop than last April on a smaller
crop, some in the trado are rapidly coming to
the conclusion that a greater proportion of
the 1001 crop has been moved than was thought
until recently.
It has repeatedly been 6ald that the wheat
movement In the country would Increase after
seeding, because it always does; and. after
the middle of May, somewhat heavier receipts
at Minneapolis may naturally be expected. The
opinion of some of the most conservative ele
vator managers is that the crop has practi
cally been moved, so far as any free move
ment is likely, unless brought about by high
prices. High enough prices always bring Out
wheat. Receipts throughout this month may
be expected to continue about as at present,
excepting some Increase toward the close,
which will be only temporary, is the general
opinion in the trade. Some even assert that
they expect the May receipts to be the light
est, barring short-crop years. Minneapolis has
had in recent years; "The amount of wheat
back in farmers' hands," said a prominent
elevator manager to the Commercial West this
week, "is, I think, smaller than ever before at
this season."
There has been one condition on this crop
that has caused some wheat to go out of sight,
namely, a freer buying than ever before of the
country elevators by mills outside of Minne
apolis, which have heretofore drawn their sup
plies more largely from Minneapolis. Then,
too, all the mills of the Northwest ran heavily
up to the holidays.
The Indications are for a very light move
ment of wheat In North Dakota. It Is thought
that there Is little wheat there that will move
readily. In Western Minnesota and South Da
kota, on the Northwestern road. Indications
point toward small stocks being held by farm
ers, and a correspondingly light movement. In
Southeastern Minnesota considerable wheat Is
probably still in farmers' hands, but it will re
quire high prices or fine crop prospects in
June or July to move it in large volume.
While wheat seeding is practically completed
in Southern Minnesota and South Dakota, oats,
flax and corn come next, and it will be the
middle of May before seeding can be com
pleted. North- Dakota Is backward. The ground is
wet, and all kinds of seeding cannot be com
pleted before June 1.
Generally speaking, therefore, any material
increase In the Northwestern wheat movement
is not expected during May.
Some of the bullish features of the Euro
pean crop situation are thus brought out in
F. Lenders & Co.'s weekly review of the Lon
don market, under date of April 15:
One encouraging feature has been the rapid
disappearance of the heavy arrivals of white
cargoes at ports of call, more especially the
fact that, although the bulk of them were
owned and ordered to the Continent, further
purchases for Germany have been made of oth
er arrived cargoes, which shows that that
country can still be relied upon as Importer
to a considerable extent, and encourages the
nellef that of the large fleet still to arrive off
coast, and owned by the Continent, every bush
el will be ordered homo without being offered
for resale.
The weakest factors In the position are the
contlnuesd unsatisfactory sale of flour, and
the large quantity of wheat on passage. It
is only reasonable, however, to suppose that
after such a leng period of depression, stocks
in bakers' hands must have been reduced to ex
ceedingly small proportions, and that sooner
or later trade must take a turn for the better;
nnd In connection with the quantity on pas
sage, -wo think It will be found that the max
imum has already been reached, and with the
recent and expected further early arrivals of
the white fleet, considerable reductions will
soon be made, and it is further to be noted
that these cannot be replaced to any extent
by further shipments from California, Oregon
or Australia. Indeed, so far as the last
mentioned is concerned. It Is worthy of note
that the present f. o. b. price is about equal
to the c i. f. value in Europe, and we know
that several vessels chartered to load grain
have "been relet with considerable loss to char
terers, either owing to the scarcity of grain
or to the Impossibility of shipping wheat ex
cept at a dead loss. We think It' will be
found that the trade with South Africa and
V e homo consumption will not allow much of
tls class of wheat reaching Europe.
WOOL The wool market is not yet fairly
under way, and prices for the present are to
a large extent nominal. Shearing is on at
lull blast In the Eastern part of the state, and;
the clip is heavy and of good quality. A few
Eastern buyers are cruising around the upper
country, but no transactions have been report
ed as yet. The situation in the East is thus
reviewed by the New Tork Journal of Com
merce, under date of May 3: ,
Very little change has occurred in the wool
market for the past week, and prices have re
mained tho same throughout. Consumers, as a
rule, have exhibited very little interest in sell
ers' offerings, and small parcels only have
been taken. Buying In the West has con
tinued at prices whloh mean an advance from
current prices In this market, if the wool is
to bo handled at a profit. The producing end
of the market is decidedly firm and inclined
to advance their Ideas. This has caused buy
ers from East to be more or less conservative,
and some are inclined to hold off the market
to a certain extent.
In the local market, though business has
heen of small proportions, efforts on the part
of buyers to secure concessions have been met
with refusals; this has resulted in the demand
being confined to fllllng-ln orders almost en
tirely. Pulled wools have remained quiet and
unchanged In price, with supplies in the mar
ket of limited proportions only. Tcxa and
territories dull, sample bags only being taken.
On foreign wools the market shows few
changes; some inquiry has been noted for Don
skol and China wools, but sales aro reported
&s moderate.
POTATOES Choice Burbank potatoes have
boW up as high as ? 1 85 per cental within the J
FINANCIAL NEWS
past few day, and there are rumors that even
higher offers have been made for some choice
stock still held in the country. The San Fran
cisco market has been, showing more strength,
and as It will be some time yet before the
California new potatoes can take the place of
the Oregon Burbanks, it would not be surpris
ing if still higher prices are scored. Onions
are also pretty firm, and sales are made from
i (2 25 to $2 7 per cental. - Strictly first-class
stock is pretty well cleaned out, but there is a
fair amount of medium grade that can be
secured at lower figures.
BUTTER The market is moving along In
fairly satisfactory shape at 17o for fancy
creamery. Receipts have been liberal, but
with some demand for outside shipment and
considerable local trade, stocks are cleaning
up about as fast as they come in. There Is
only a limited demand for dairy and common
creamery butter; and the greater part of this
Is sold for about the same price as store, the
ruling figure being around 14c, with some
stock occasionally moving at a shade more.
EGGS The bulk of the sales of eggs yester
day were made at 15c and 15&c but a few
dealers were still holding out for 16c, and In
a small way wero securing that figure. Re
ceipts are holding up to good proportions, and
as the demand Is only limited, there Is not
much strength to the market. The outside de
mand is light.
POULTRY There Is a good demand for
Spring chickens, and If large and in good con
dition, they sell up to $5 and $8 per dozen.
Small stock of the "peeper" brand is not want
ed, however, and are slow sale as low as $1 60
and $2 per dozen. Old chickens are also In
good demand at $5 and $0 per dozen, and large
hens In good condition will sell at even higher
prices. Old ducks and geese are very slow
sale, but large young ducks that will weigh
around S pounds each, will sell at ?S and $0
per dozen. No demand for turkeys.

GRAI2T MARKETS.
Seasonable "Weather Report Causes
Break in Wheat at Chicago.
CHICAGO. May 7. Wheat showed fair
strength at the outset on the Influence of yes
terday's cash business, and more rains in the
over-wet Northwest, Traders changed their
stand, however, on later reports of seasonable
weather. Both the Southwest and Northwest
sent in liberal selling orders on the weather
news, and their orn markets were weaker.
This caused local speculators to lose sight of
the bulllshly small crop receipts, and fairly
Arm cables. Longs deserted their holdings
and threw stuff overboard. .Trade generally
was not very heavy, and the market showed a
dragging disposition most of the time. July
opened HSKc to a shade up, at 75K675c
dropped to 74c, and closed wtak, HS&c lower,
at 74H74Kc
Corn started with a good show of strength.
When wheat broke corn followed. Trade was
not large, and the greater part of the session
the market dragged. July closed weak, lUo
lower, at COHc
Oats were dull and weak. July closed 9Jo
down, at 35c

1 PRICES OF STOCKS DROP
ANTHRACITE LABOR, DISPUTE THE
PRINCIPAL FACTOR.
The Grain-Carrylngr Railroads Make
Gain, Then Lose It AH Money
Market Easier.
NEW YORK, May 7. Today's stock market
reflected an unavailing effort to contest the
downward tendency. After yesterday's revul
sion from the seml-revolutlon on Monday, a
reactionary tendency was natural to restore
the normal balance of things, but this tenden
cy was reinforced by the decidedly skeptical
sentiment over the prophesies of the anthra
cite labor settlement. The reports of the con
dition of the crops, and the weakness of the
grain market, were a help to the, grain-carrying
railroads, and they made a good advance
in the course of the day's session. The con
tinued aggressive strength or Louisville &
.Nashville, Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville,
and various smaller subsidiary lines, gained
additional response In Southern Railway,
which was considered significant of closer re
lations In the whole Southern group. Nash
ville, Chattanooga & St, Louis; Chicago &
Eastern Illinois and Evansvllle & Terre Haute
all shared In the movement, Illinois Central
was a conspicuous exception, and was heavy
throughout, falling at one time 1. The
advance In Kansas City Southern was attrib
uted to the formation of a pool in the stock.
All of the strong points, however, yielded '-to
the liquidation during the lost hour, caused by
the relapse In Reading to 2 under last night.
Practically all of the gains were wiped out,
and the level of prices carried below last
night.
United States Steel stocks did not escape the
depression, notwithstanding the extraordi
nary exhibition of the last year's transactions
by the company. Tennessee Coal lost 1
points on account of the disappointing annual
report, and realizing in Chicago Great Western
caused a loss of 2Vt-
The money market was called easier today,
the maximum loaning rate reaching 15 per
cent, with a subsequent recession to 6 per cent,
but the decline In the foreign exchange rate
ceased In In response to easier money, and
discussion was renewed of gold exports.
Notwithstanding the relief afforded by the
purging of unhealthy spots inr the market,
there Is still a tendency to hold to the feeling
that there may still be some Inflation beyond
the curbstone bubbles which collapsed last
week. The market closed heavy.
The tone of the bond market weakened In
sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value,
$2,430,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on the last call.
