Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OEEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1902. is COMMERCIAL AND The arrival of considerable produce on the steamer from San Francisco had but little t ftect on the market, and prices yesterday wen practically the same as they have been for the past week, there being no changes of Import ance. Cabbage took a slight Jump and sold up to Hfcc at a few of the houses. Callfprnla strawberries sold at .about $1 60 for best, while the Oregon berries ranged from 20c to 25c per box, according to quality. Eggs still hoer about 15e, while a number of the dealers are selling at c lower. Butter prices remain the same, with the market firm. The quotations for poultry are about the same, but the de mand for all but the Spring chickens is rather light. There is but a slight call for ducks. Veal and pork remain firm at unchanged prices. The potato market Is rather shaky. While few potatoes .are being bought, the dealers are keeping the prices as near the old figures as possible Reports from San Fran cisco state that tho market is overcrowded, and that dealers there have a bard time get ting their prices. It Is reported that a ship ment of 3000 sacks Is now on the way -south frcm Seattle About 000 sacks are ready for shipment from here, butane dealers are holding back to await results.

The local wheat market was tame again yes-. terday In sympathy with the easier feeling In the East, but there was such a small amount Of business doing that quotations were nominal and no changes were reported. "Walla Walla Is still quoted at 66c. but very little Is selling at that figure, and It would require quite a premium to move lots of any consequence. Freights are unchanged for anything near by. and slightly easier for distant tonnage, a large carrier offering yesterday at 28s 3d. which Is lower than anything has been quoted for new crop recently. The best offer that shipowners !an get Is about 27s 6d, and not very much tonnage could be fixed even at that figure. The local barley market has stiffened up a lit tle In eytfipatby with the California market. Stocks In Oregon and, "Washington have been pretty Veil cleaned up, and the local demand bad drawn heavily on the California market for supplies recently, prices thus following that market.

Important Bearing: of Strike on In dustrial Situation. NEW YORK. May 16. The conspicuous fea ture of today's weak stock market was entire lack of any supporting demand at any stage of the decline. Even the roam shorts, who almost Invariably cover short -contract at tho end of a day of declining prices, ehowed no solicitude about covering, and the market seemed entirely to Jack resistance. The liqui dation was, not heavy, but such as It was. was very general. "While the decision of the an thracite miners for a strike was the .ostensible cause of the weakness, the depression was not confined, to the coalers, nor was it particularly conspicuous there. Reading was first in point of activity, but allowing for Its one-half shares, the sales were but little in excess of those of Union Pacific The 3-point decline was fairly attributable to tne fact that It has been -lected as the representative of recent specula tive confidence1 In tho coal trade outlook. The Other coalers shared about equally with the weakness-of the general market, which Ib rep resented by quite uniform losses of 103 polnU. The undeviating assurance that there would be no strike, which has been expressed through out the period since a strike was threatened by all representatives of the controlling In terests In the coalers, leaves no room for doubt that the final decision to strike was a sur prise. Corffidenee In a favorable outcome of the struggle to the benefit of the coal operators continued to be expressed In "Wall street today. Rut this could not alter the general Impression that a prolonged and serious struggle Is In prospect. It did not need the formal announce ment by President Mitchell of the purpose of the miners to make the strike a National mining strike to awaken anxiety over the pos sible extension of the labor trouble by sym pathy into other fields, especially into the bituminous coal fields. The collateral effects of such an extension are easy to understand and little difficult to estimate. The effect upon the Iron and steel industries, already strug gling with a scarcity of material of all kinds, would be most notable. The Iron and steel stocks shared in the gen eral weakness. Reports of an advance of ft a ton In the price of Southern iron, rather strangely, added ;to the depression, as It Is .felt that the maintenance of the high level of consumption Is dependent upon the sustained steadiness of the price. Attention was given also to the estimate of the Iron Age that the producing capacity of pig Iron for the country would be Increased 300,000 tons this year, and 4.000.000 tons by the end of 1003. The wet weather In the Northwest retarding the seed ing of the crops may have been a depressing influence, although the weakntss In the corn market should have been a fair offset. Bonds were dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value. J2.360.000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. ClnsluB: Stock Quotations. DESCRIPTION. J Atchison do pfd ...

Early in the session wheat showed some tendency toward a good bull movement. Cables were higher or steady, regardless of our losses yesterday. Receipts In the Northwest were still very email, Indi cating, the bulls said, an actual and serious depletion of stocks in farmers' hands. In ad dition to this, rain began falling again In the Northwest, and advices from the Red River Valley told a very bullish story of delayed Spring seeding. Offerings at the opening im provement were not sufficient for the small demand, and prices worked up to 75075?4c for July, after opening a shade to c up, at 75Js075V4075Hc General harvest news, however, was prom ising. The Northwestern curtailment of re ceipts was beginning to lose some of its bullish effect, and of much Importance was tne fact that exceptionally seasonable weather In most of the country was keeping the outsider from the market. The export demand was in active The crowd started selling, and July slumped sharply lc, and closed ?c down, t 74075c Corn showed weakness all day, the bull par ty making no apparent effort to support the market. July clos'ed weak, UQtJc lower, at 61061c Oats were dull and featureless.

WEATHER AFFECTS TRADE Season Late and Crop Outlook Un certain. NEW TORK, May" 16. R. G. Dun & Co.'fr weekly review of trade tomorrow wil say: Weather and wages continue the only serious ly disturbing factors In the business situation. Excessive moisture and low temperature mad the crop outlook more uncertain, and much de pends on a continuance of prosperity In the agricultural sections. On the other hand, record-breaking distribution of pay In the Pitts burg region accentuated retail trade, while re sumption of woolen and other mills added largely to the active forces. Transporting lines continue to make splendid exhibits, railroad earnings lor the first week of Mar exceeding those of a year ago 6.2 per cent-and surpassing the same week's earnings in 1900 by 19.8 per cent. The enormous pig Iron production would sug gest accumulation of supplies, but consumption easily keeps pace, furnace stocks showing a decrease of about 10.000 tons during April, to much the lowest point in recent years. Footwear manufacturers at the East report an increased volume of orders from Western Jobbers, but wholesalers in the principal East ern centers are placing few Fall contracts. Retailers Are only sending moderate duplicate orders for Summer goods, fair supplies remain ing of early purchases. Solo leather Is quiet, J nines again securea a moderate advance In prices, both for domestic and foreign. In the dry goods market there is evidence of Increased buying for Fall and next Spring, but only small supplementary orders for the present season. Cold weather had retarded Jobbing trade at' many points. Domestic trade In cotton Is steady, with sup plies In strong hands, but export business Is dull. More liberal deliveries of woolen goods are reported, showing that fewer looms are Idle. The best demand Is for staple lines of men's wear and medium grades of fancy woolens. While It Is generally agreed that there has been much improvement in the Winter-wheat states since the opening of the month, prices became somewhat firmer upon the publication of the offlclal report of conditions on May 1. Failures for the week numbered 228 in the United States, against 177 last year, and 17 In Canada, against 10 a. year ago. COLD WEATHER RETARDS TRADE. Crdp Reports Generally Favorable Coal Strike a Great Menace. NEW TORK, May 16. Bradstreefs to morrow will say: Conditons governing trade lack uniformity, and explain Irregularity fn advices from dif ferent sections. The prominent feature Is, of course, the favorable character of nearly all crop advices Winter wheat excepted), but even hero the Improvement since May 1 has neu tralized much that was unfavorable before. The shadow overhanging Sastern trade. In the shape of a general anthracite coal strike has deepened with the formal suspension of work and tho strike announcement. Cool weather hitherto has retarded retail demand, and In the agricultural sections the population has been busily engaged. Hence, present demand has suffered In comparison with the outlook for the future, but te-order business from job bers has been very fair despite this. The effoct of the copious rains in tho West has been in a nigh degree favorable, and Is improving the buyers. Briefly stated, the Winter wheat yield will be heavily reduced from last year's bumner ,crop, but the outlook even here is better than In 1599, while spring wheat promises well, inreBenF-pTlces not favoring a heavy decrease in acreage. Produce prices and dairy products -are weak ening as supplies increase, but meats are still high.- and permanently lower prices are not looked for until Autumn. The industrial out look, asldo from the anthracite trouble, and the probabilities of this disturbance, if ex tended, Involving some branches of the Iron and steel trades Is on the whole not more un settled than might be found In a time of more than ordinary prosperity. Wage advances, sdmo of them voluntary, have been numerous, and some -other troubles are approaching settle ment Fuller railroad earnings returned from April confirm last week's report of a gain of 11 per cent over April & year ago, while for the first week of May the indicated gain Is in excess of 8 per cent. Notable strength is still shown In prices of many staples, particu larly those in which speculation Is not very prominent. Cash wheat, flour and com are all higher on the week, hog products have ad vanced, hides are at about the highest point in years, and copper, long a lagger. Is stiffen ing in price on free consumption. Sugar is unsettled. The decrease In Euro pean beet sowings is only a small one, and raws and refined are lower but the canning season is approaching, and & larger business is looked for. as the small fruit crops' promise welt. Spot coffee Is no higher, and supplies are very keavy. Anthracite coal, m & result Downing, Hopkins & Co. Established 1893.

In an Interview at Wantage, Richard Croker said that were he in New York he would certainly vote for Robert 'Van "Wyck as grand sachem of Tammany Hall, and that Mr. Van "Wyck, in his opinion, was as fine a man aa ever drew breath, and a good Mayor. Mr. Croker said that Thomas L,. Feltner had been his life-long friend, but that he had been grand sachem many times, in fact for too long a time.
