THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. MAY 10, 1902. o COMMERCIAL AND The -wholesale markets yesterday were drift ing along under easy sail, with no features of special Interest to break the serenity of the situation. Prices showed but little change, although there was considerable strength In oats, and another advance would not be surpris ing at any time. Poultry receipts were liberal again, and nothing but an Improved demand for the Saturday trade, prevented a decline In Urices. Potatoes held steady, with pood re ceipt. Several thousand sacks were left on the dock when the last steamer departed, and there Is some fear expressed that these pota toes, together with the receipts now coming to hand, will be more than can be readily ab sorbed by the California market at present high prices, especially as new potatoes are dolly becoming more plentiful In California. Teal receipts were light yesterday, and In eplte of the butchers' limit of 7c per pound, the most of the sales were made at 8c. Pork was very firm at 8c Butter and eggs were unchanged. The New York Journal of Com merce, under date of May 5, baa the following regarding new-pack salmon: Business amounting to around 4000 cases of future Columbia River salmon was reported today on the basis of 31 40 for tails, (1 55 for flats and 00c for hVf pounds f. a. -b. the Coast. The buslnc"' .vas done on prices quoted out by a prominent packer, and was on orders taken for local and nearby account. On the came basis a fair business has been dono In the interior, a fair percentage of buyers there on last year's pack booking Jhelf orders again this season. Everdlng & Farrel wired their representatives here today to meet the cuts to the $1 40 basis for tails made a day or so ago by F. M. Warren and others, and it Is con fidently expected that the other packers will J meet the cut also. Spot sockeye salmon Is reported showing firm ness on the basis of $1 27 for flats. The lots of half-pound sockeye offered yesterday at S7c Is, It is stated, cleaned up, and it Is now considered difficult to obtain anything under 82c Inside. Tails are scarce and held at $1 12 generally, with a possibility of this figure being shaded In come quarters to $1 10. A Coast telegram quotes no offerings of sock eye flats there under $1 20 f. o. b. A report Is current that an Interest on the Coast has named a price of 87c on future Alaska red tails. The report could not be confirmed. Bank Clearings. Exchanccs. Balances.

The local wheat market had a steady tone yesterday in sympathy with the markets else where, but the business was of very small pro portions. Prices continued to a large extent nominal, but Walla "Walla could be worked at 60c, and bluestem at about lc premium. Ex porters have paused In their chartering, and no new engagements are reported this week. There has been a slight decline in freights In San Francisco, and as there Is no material difference in conditions in the two porta, local operators ore not Inclined to pay much of a Premium over the rates ruling in the Bay City. Spot stocks of wheat are light, and there Is no Immediate need of tonnage, unless it can be Secured at lower rates than are now asked by spot ships. December wheat In San Francisco has again climbed above $1 10, and the spot market Is firm at a premium of 2c per cen tal, this strength being largely due to low freights.

CHICAGO, May 9. At the outset wheat showed a fairly Arm tone on the colder weath er in the Northwest and drynessln the South west, with reports of still further retarded Spring wheat sowing because of moisture andi crop damage reports from Kansas. Yesterday's cash situation was still bulllohly effective, and handlers of cash stuff still reported & contin uance of the demand aroused during the re cent decline. Offerings were light, antTrecelpts were small. Although the demand was only fair. It was- sufficient to bold up the market. A fair export business was done at the seaboard. July opened unchanged to c higher, at 74 74Hc sold up to 75c fluctuated narrowly and closed fimvo up, at 74c Although corn trade was slow much of the time In sympathy with the waiting wheat mar ket, the tone ruled strong. July closed H0&c up, at 61c Oats were strong and fairly active. July clewed strong at its top figure, o higher, at 36c The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Onentng..Hlehet. Lowest. Closing.

Reactionary Tendency More General After Appearance of Eitlmate lor Week's Currency Movement. NEW YORK, May 9. The volume of dealings today fell considerably below 500,000 shares for the first time In many weeks. Whether there was any other reason for this dullness than the decision on the part of the specula tors lately leading the market to let it lie fal low for a time, was not evident. Perhaps the long-drawn-out controversy over the anthracite labor settlement may have been active In dis couraging speculative activity. If that was the factor which induced the curtailment of de mand, the sagging of prices In the general list. It did not appear among the coalers themselves. That group was affected by the marked atrength of Delaware & Hudson. The Wall-street public Is puzzled to know the grounds of the very positive assurance, which has been manifest, among the controlling in terests in the anthracite trade, that there will be no strike. Their determination, evidently, has not varied to offer no concessions, while on. the other hand, the mlneworkers, in effect, are under contingent orders to declare a strike un less the concessions are granted. The outcome was still awaited when the stock market closed today. There was some show of 'strength In the early dealings, and an appearance of renewed activity on the part of the recently prominent market leaders. Amalgamated Copper wa conspicuously active and strong, advancing at one time 1. Reports were current that sales of copper had been effected at 12c by a lead ing competitor in sufficient amount to take It oui of the market for some time to com,e. The announcement that one of the suspended stock exchange firms would be able to resume, and that the other hoped to do so was regarded as a satisfactory development. Trading was re sumed in International Power, and it Was lift ed 4 points. Louisville & Nashville fell back after Its recent advance, and there was a drop of 4 points In Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The weakness of Chicago & Northwestern was also associated with the conflicting reports of the admission to the directory of representatives of the Moore Interests, who are reported to have acquired large holdings of stock lately. The reactionary tendency of the market be came more general after the appearance of the preliminary estimate of the week's currency movement It appears that tho banks have re ceived on balance from the interior less than $1000,000, against the loss to the Subtrcasury during the week of $2.S75.000. The loan item Is, or course, a matter of surmise The early heavy liquidation in the stock market would Indicate & reduction of tho loans, but it ap pears that some of the calling of loans In large amounts was simply for the purpose of re lendlng elsewhere. Including possibly to the ship merger underwriting syndicate. The mar ket closed dull and steady. Bonds were easier, in sympathy with stocks. Total sales. $2,535,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Closing Stock Quotation. f if . o DESCRIPTION. I Atchison do pfd I Baltimore & Ohio...... do pfd Canadian Pacific Canada Southern ......

Activity In Mannfacturlngr "Wool Active at Higher Ranges Than a. Year Ago. NEW YORK, May 9. Bradstreefa to morrow will say: Improved weather conditions furnish the key note for the more cheerful tone In distributive trade. Copious rains, while not repairing all the damage to Winter wheat done by the re cent drouth in Kansas, seem to have put the rest of the crop out of immediate danger. The situation in manufacturing generally may be summed up In one word, "activity," the only Important exception to this being: noted In the wooien industry, which Is interfered with by strikes. The unsettled anthracite coal sit uation also overhangs the Eastern trade situa tion. Iron and steel trades are still pushed to the utmost tension to keep up with current demand. Building and allied trades dependent thereon are active, despite the Increased price of lumber and of builders' hardware, and the higher level of wages. The feature In iron and steel Is the scarcity of supplies of pig Iron, and the strength of the demand for finished products, particularly strucutural materials, what few rails are available, and whatever tonnage can be secured of bars and plates. Among the other metals, tin is higher on the week, while copper is rather weaker. Good cables and the large decrease In wheat supplies reported by Bradstreet's were a source of etrength early in the week, but there was a heavy liquidation on the bulge, which was accentuated by better advices as to wheat from the Southwest, and the generally im proved condition In corn and oats. The situation of wool at the East is affected by "the Interruption caused by strikes, but stocks are low. Wool Is active at a higher range than a year ago. Wheat, Including flour, exports for the week aggregated 3.302,240 bushels, against 5,308.165 bushels last week, and 4.178,872 last year. Wheat exports July 1. 1901. to date (45' weeks), aggregate 10.167.067 bushels, against 179,693, 699 bushels last season. Business failures for the week in the United States number 179, against 174 last week, 193 in this week last year, and 174 in 1900. Dank Clenrlngs. NEW YORK, May 0.

Dun & Co's weekly review tomorrow will eay: At a time when consumptive demand sur passes all previous records in the Nation's his tory, it is unfortunate that production should be curtailed. Tet that Is the present situation. First, the labor controversies and a tornado stopped work at many points, greatly reducing the output. Many more tvagii disputes must be settled before the end of the month, or fur nace fires will be h&nked and wheels cease to revolve. Losses by the elements have been severe, .he largest plant In the world being rendered Idle for a month, while many foun dries and shops were destroyed. Prices of commodities on May 1, as shown by Dun's Index number, rose to the highest point in recent years, gaining 6.3 ptr cent over the corresponding date last year, but this week there' has been a material decline In some products, notably grain. Distribution through retail channels continues very heavy. Railway earnings are steadily gaining, full returns for pril exceeding last year's by 10.6 per cent, and 1900 by 35 per cent. Procrastinating consumers, who predict ed a collapse in the Iron and steel markets sim ilar to the break which occurred two years ago, have greatly augmented the pressure by tardily attempting to supply their requirements. Dispatches to this paper promise a large wool clip, though the late Spring has delayed shear ing. There has been less selling of wool on the sheep's back, and ranchmen appear to be in financial condition to hold their yield until satttfactory prices are forthcoming-. More encouraging weather reports have made the outlook brighter for & normal wheat yield. Exports from all ports during the week amount ed to 3,477,370 bushels, flour Included, com pared with 5,570,037 bushels In the preceding week. Failures for the week number 219 In the United States, against 187 last year, and 24 In Canada, against 26 last year. Northern Pacific "Wreck. HELENA. MonC, May D. "Westbound Northern Pacific passenger trafa No. 11 early to'day crashed Into a freight, whose length necessitated leaving 10 cars on the main line, at Bedford, between Helena and Townsend. A box car was knocked off the track and the engine smashed. The engineer and fireman escaped Injury by Jumping. A flagman had been sent back to warn the passenger train, but did not get fairly started before It hove in sight, and so great .was Its momentum that it could not be stopped in. time to avoid a collision. Beyond a severe shaking up, none of the passengers was injured. Steel Trust Improvements. PITTSBURG, May 9. The Gazette this morning says: The United States Steel Corporation will expend $6,000,000 in mak ing improvements to their present hold ings, and instead of building one large tube mill in the vicinity of Pittsburg, three will be erected. The greater part of this money, which has been appropriated, will be spent on the works of the corpo ration in and around Pittsburg.
