THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FJRIDAY DECEMBER 12; 1902; 15 ViOLENT DECLINES New York Stock Market Al 1 most Demoralized, BY UNLOADING OF SECURITIES Volnrac of Dealing Rose to Over a Million Sliaren Due to Unset tled Condition of the 3Ioncy Market. New Tork stcck market transactions this week: No. shares. Monday 274,700 Tuesday 443,400 "Wednesday 572,000 Thursday 1.190,700 NEW TORK. Dec. 11. The stock market .had a demoralized appearance at times today, when an eager unloading of securities was in progress without regard to prices. The volume of dealings rose to over .1,000,000 shares, or about double these of yesterday, which again were more than double those of the day before. The throwing on the market of this stock greatly augmented the volume of liquidation, which met with very poor absorptive power, and violent declines were the result. There were points in the market where bet ter resistance was shown than in others, nota bly among the Pennsylvania group, Reading. Amalgamated and Sugar. The last-named etock closed the day with an actual net gain of a small fraction. On the other hand, the Hock Islands, the United States Steels and Pacifies generally proved easily vulnerable. Tho extreme decline In Rock Island common was 414 and In the preferred 4. The final prices were respectively and 2 higher than the lowest. Steel lost 3 points and the pre ferred 2, and their final prices were only a fraction better than the lowest points. The unsupported condition of- these stocks had a strong sentimental effect on the whole mar ket The Venezuelan situation exerted only a sentimental Influence. The real motive for the precipitate selling was the growing conviction that a further ex tensive loan contraction will be necessary to meet the requirements for money between now and the first of the year. There was more forced liquidation from the forcing of lenders to extend maturing loans, .but holders were moved by apprehension that the Fame condi tions would shortly become effective In their own cases, so that they threw over large hold ings. There were some of the largest lenders In the street also who withheld their funds from the ,tlme loan market, with the avowed Intention of waiting for higher rates of time loans. This rroccss served to keep some sup ply In the call loan market. As high as 9 per cent was paid, however, for call loans. Time loans for short periods were practically unobtainable, and rates were very firm for the longer periods. The rates quotedwere purely nominal, and all sorts of devices were resorted to to Increase the actual rate of return over nominal Interest rate, such as charges for commissions and implied agreements on the part of the borrowers to withdraw only a cer tain per cent of tho -immt i , maturing at this- time were the immedlate' "u;c oi ln emoarrassment of the holders of stocks. Rumors were current of the liquida tion of a loan of several millions to a single toank. which necessitated heavy realizing on collateral. A curious feature was that this collateral Included many hundred shares of the stock of the bank calling the loans, which were t ? ??en raarket- Money brokers re ported that there was not much calling in of money placed on call, and they also reported that -where mntn-inr. tir, 1 1. . . bufc. , hjuMo be paid off." the,- were" unable to! . , , "u uorrowers rront in terior banks. The rate paid in such cWwas considerably above normal rate. Where The lo-al anks are lending at all It Is simply to supply the urgent needs .of their regular cus tomers for routine business purposes. Sterling exchange cemained firm today, and opinions were expressed that more gold wouW be sent to South America. The retention of the ?n7 ,?,SC,Unt rate by the Bank of EnJ S XCl Vid to be an ideation of con fidence that the South Americans' demands TorkLThe0nShT BW be erted to New lork. The Subtreasurj continues to withdraw large amounts from the money market "ndll rumors of relief measures by the TrJasurv Department met with denials, Today's S era l vennr;iChCd from 13 'omts 'quite geT irom 412.

Export of Timber Prohibited. United States Consul Dudley, at Vancouver, B. C, reports to the State Department as fol lows: In advanc? sheets of Consular Reports, No. 1470, issued October 10, 1002, a report of mine was published regarding the lumber Industry in British Columbia, In which X made the statement that an export dutyxhad been placed upon timber cut upon the public lands of this province. The Information upon which I made that statement was derived from the newspa pers of this city, but my attention has since been called to the fact that It is not an export duty, but ah absolute prohibition placed by tho government upon the export of timber cut upon lands owned by the province. Timber off all unsurveyed and unpre-empted crown lands can be cut either undr 21-year leases or annual licenses. During tho session of 1001, an amendment to the then existing land act was raseed, reading as follows: "All timber cut from provincial lands must be manufactured within the confines of the Province of British Columbia, otherwise the timber ro cut may bo seized and forfeited to the crown and the lease canceled." Thu point was raised that the abo-e only ap plied to leases, not licenses. In July, 1002, an order In. council was .made to make 'the above restriction crrly to llconses. DrUry Produce at Chicago.

WHEAT AND STOCK BRQKERS Room 4,m,Ground Floor Chamber of .Commerce PRUNE MARKET IS FIRM ACTIVE TRADE IN LARGE SIZES IX THE EAST. Bnyinfr' Syndicate Makes Liberal Pnrchases Hopn Are Dnll and Prices Irregular. NEW YORK. Dec. 11. (Special.) Prunes continued active on the large sizes and prices ruled- very firm. The news by wire from the Coast today that the buying syndicate has se cured considerable stock, and that outside pack ers were refusing to confirm business for De cember shipment, added to the strong views of first hands here. Bids on stock in transit of 7c for 40-50s and 5?4c for 50-GOs were turned down on several carloads. Two fair-sized par cels of 40-G0s, inclusive, for export to London were sold at 6Uc in 25-pound boxes. For tho sizes 60-OOs Inclusive, the feeling is barely steady, supplies being liberal, but thero Is no pressure to sell among holders. In a small, way, sales of Oregon 30-40s are noted at -74c. The supply, however. Is good, and round lots move out at 7tfc No 50-60s offer. Business in 40-50s in transit Is heard at 6c Salem wires a stror.s market on 30-403. Spot Lima beans rule very weak, with no buying of consequence. Offerings arc quoted at "333 07H per bushels as to quality. The salmon movement is light, but holders of high grade In red Alaska and sockeyes are firm. Jobbing lots of sockeyes halves are moved at 00c. Locally, hops, ruled dull, and prices closed Irregular. State markets were reported un changed, and foreign cables showed only a steady situation. FOREIGN METAL. IN DEMAND. November Product of Blast Furnace Not Up to the Normal. NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Our monthly blast furnace report reflects the peculiar conditions affecting the local branch of the Industry, says the Iron Ace. A very considerable number of furnaces have started, chiefly In the districts affected by the anthracite coal strike, but tho November product was not up to the normal. Our coke and anthracite ton capacity Is now up to 330,617k tons per week, an Increase of about C00O tons per week over last month. Tho steel works are short of metal, and some of the larger plants east of the Alleghany Mountains have purchased round lots of foreign Besaemer pig for early delivery at about $20 25 ex-ship, duty paid. There has also beyi quite a fair tonnage of low phosphorus pig. On the other hand, importers of foundry iron have done very little in European markets lately, 'and are holding off, the result being a further weakening of values. In the domestic market the feature of in terest is the resumption of negotiations between the leading interest and the Bessemer Associa tion, which, however, has. not led to anything as yet. Some moderate Jots of Bessemer pig have sold at Pittsburg, and with a good ton nage of basic pig has been placed with Eastern consumers.' In foundry Iron Chicago notes a shortage of malleable fo prompt delivery, but on the whole the markets, are qulot. The sell ing of foreign billets has been resumed, and we can report transactions In 1000 to 2000-ton lots. It is worthy of note that the German steel works arc engaged in negotiations to place thq export sales of steel In the hands of their syndicate, which makes the sales of steel for the domestic market. This has already strengthened, the market, and the lowest -flgure named for German steel billets, ex-shlp. duty paid, is $20 7527. The rail mills have now accumulated orders for next year to the extent of 1,800,000 tons, to which must be added the amount of orders which will bo carried Over from this year. Im porters are in receipt of some round inquiries, both for domestic and Canadian account. The structural mills continue to receive good or ders, among those recently placed being 12.000 tons for a bank building in Chicago. Tho plate trade Is congested with work. A meet ing of the manufacturers Is to be held in this city, at which the percentages of participation for next ,year will be discussed. Very good ac counts are being received of tho sheet trade, and the bar rniHs seem to be doing well. The sheet trade, however. Is still In rather a poor condition and t.rlces are suffering. Board of -Trade WIxs Appeal. CHICAGO, Dec. ll.-The Appellate Court today reversed the lnjunctionis sued by Judge Chytraus last August, en joining the Chicago Board of Trade and the Weare Commission Company from conducting an Investigation in regard to the differences between the illlno drain Company, of Sioux City. Ia., and the Weare Commission Company. This is one of the Injunctions growing out of the oat corner of last Summer, by which the Board of Trade was enjoined from punish ing Jts members. Only $300,000 From Treasury. NEW YORK, Dec. ll.-Of the $1,000,000 gold engaged for shipment to South Amer ica this week only $500,000 was withdrawn from the Subtreasury. The balance was presumably taken from the clearlng-houso by one of the associated banks, which have at this time about $75,000,000 on de posit there. Philippine Societies Merj?e. COUNCIL BLUFFS.
