THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. JANUARY 31, 1903. 15 S BEST ON REGORD January Jobbing Business Never Surpassed, RETAIL TRADE NOT SO GOOD General Price Sltnntion Remains Stronjr, -vrltli Corn and Cotton Leading Effect of Pnel and Car Shortage. NEW YORK, Jan- 30. Bradstrcet's tomor row will say: Trade developments In January confirm the Banguinc expectations and predictions made at the outset o the month. "Wholesale and Job bing trade in Spring dry goods, millinery, boots and shoes and hats improved steadily, January Jobbing business at the leading cities East and West being the best ever recorded la that month. Shipments on orders aro larger and earlier than In preceding years. Retail trado was hardly bo favorable. Unseasonable weather dulls retail distribution in this line, and tho usual January clearing sales are at tracting less than ordinary attention. Among tho Industries, no sign of flagging ac tivity is noted. Iron and steel production Is at Its highest point, desplto fuel and car (shortages, and prices are higher. Activity In lumber Is also noted the country over. The general price situation remains strong, corn among the cereals and cotton among the textiles leading. The car shortage trouble Increases rather than grows better. Smaller .than expected movements of grain and lumner to market, of fuel from producing centers to consumers and of general merchandise from wholesalers and Jobbers to retailers are reported. Preference is still being given to coal shipments, and come roads are reported refusing all dead freight outside of fuel. "W heat, including flour, exports for the "week ending January 29, aggregate 4,420,065 bush els, against 3,538.757 bushels last week: 3.702. 3C8 bushels in this week a year ago, and 3,770, 000 in 1001. Wheat exports since July 1 ag gregate 148,599.022 bushels, against 105.340,180 bushels last season, and 110,825,040 bushels In 1900.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Domestic trade and industry continue to prosper, while the fuel situation has grown less disturbing through the special efforts of transporters, aided to no small degree by mild weather. Distribution of other products has been restricted by the discrimination In favor of coal, and shippers are Importunate. Clearance sales are about ended, leaving only small stocks of Winter goods. Advance busi ness in Spring deliveries is very heavy, and Fall contracts are also placed liberally. At some points the harness season opens favor ably. In most cases, whero there is no delay on fuel account, manufacturing plants are busy, though cost of materials and labor Is very high. Firm prices for finished products are consequently to be expected. Favorable re turns of railroad earnings are constantly is sued, figures thus far available showing an In crease of 5.7 per cent over last year, and 17.9 per cent over 1901. Miles of loaded cars and thousands of tons of coko piled In the yards at Connellsville tell tho story of conditions In the Iron and steel Industry. Furnaces are closing because of the fuel shortage. By giving coal, live stock and perishable goods precedence over all other freights, the railroads helped consum ers everywhere, but at the expense of the leading manufacturing Industry. Many plants are closed or running only part time, and few orders for distant delivery are either sought or offered, owing to" the uncertainty as to when normal conditions will prevail. It Is stated that deliveries of pig Iron to the leading consumers are several months behind and spot Bessemer has risen rapidly, yet there is much Irregularity, as evidenced by the decline In cast pipes. Locomotives are be ing turned out of the shops with record-breaking rapidity, and other railway equipment Is la equally good demand, while structural ma terial Is still a feature. Many additional con tnCgjs for bridge building are recorded. Fwitwear Is firm with an advancing ten deno& although list prices are without change. Kefo business Is light, but most factories have abund-sit orders on. band, and there are many buyers In tho market. Both sole and upper PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour. Feed, Etc. There is very little business passing in the local wheat market. Stocks In farmers' hands are small, and the few who aro holding grain arc not pressed to sell. Oats and barley are slow and about steady as to price. The hay market is steadier under a good movement, which, however, Is regarded as only tempo rary. Considerable hay has been shipped in tho last few days to logging camps down the river which have been unable to secure hay from tho surrounding country owing to poor roads.

Free Sclllnfr Results In Entire List Becoming Unsettled Rnte for Eiclianse Advances. NEW YORK. Jan. 30. After ruling dull and somewhat Irregular during the greater part of the day the stock market In the later trading developed a pronounced reactionary tendency. There was no special feature of Interest in the early dealings. The professional element tried to make capital out of the reported set back In the Venezuelan negotiations, but the greater . ease and abundance of money, and some moderately sharp advances In a few spe cialties tended to offset the effect of the trad ers' selling. Liberal offerings by the banks carried tho cash rate to the lowest level In some time. Accdrdlng to trustworthy reports, fully $20,000,000 was lent at 34 per cent, and perhaps half that sum at 3 per cent. It was stated that the greater part of this money was put out by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which recently made a largo and advantageous loan In this market. This, however, was denied. The rato for' demand money fell to 214 P?r cent later In the day. The noteworthy feature of the forenoon was tho sharp advance In St, Louis & San Francisco on reports of an alliance with the Southern Railway. Much of the buy ing of those issues was said to be for Pittsburg account. Considerable weakness was shown by the traction stocks, particularly Metropolitan securities, on talk that another installment of the subscription was to be called for the Metro politan Street Railway. The stock suffered In consequence, and Brooklyn Rapid Transit, In which there will be shortly a change of man agement, was also weak. In the afternoon the entire list became unset tled under the leadership of Union Pacific and allied stocks, which were sold on the news from Omaha of a serious hitch in the negotia tions between Unidn Pacific officials and the labor representatives. Tho closing was weak. Forecasts of the week's money movement In dicated a gain of some $0,000,000 by the local banks. This Is less than was looked for by students of the financial situation. Tho rate for exchange advanced 10 points to $4 80.85, giving rise to some discussion donccrn lng tho future movement of the market at thft time when the gold outflow ordinarily sets In. Those In touch with the movement, however, intimated that it had no unusual significance, the volume of business being vers much re stricted, notwithstanding the departure tomor row of tho fast steamer, which was expected some days ago to take out considerable gold. Today's rate, however, was several points below the export level, and experts declared that there was very slight probability of early engage ments. At tho same time. It was said that next week's foreign exchange would depend en tirely upon London trading and the local stock market. Another large batch of railroad returns was Issued, showing for the most part marked In creases In gross, hut some of the net returns wero regarded as unsatisfactory. Business in bonds Increased slightly, but it also lacked a definite tendency. Total sales, par value. $2,225,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. CLOSING STOCK LIST. STOCKS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30. There was little of In terest in the trading in wheat and, with no news to encourage holders, tho selling was quite general throughout the day. Cables wero weak and the cold wave predicted for today failed to materialize, the temperature through out the Winter wheat belt being only moderate. Argentina reports a good buying demand. The opening on May waa U0ac lower, at 78 78"Hc, and there was an early slump to 77 77c A better demand developed later In the day, and the price advanced to 7814c, but renewed selling late In the session caused an other break, the market selling off to 7714c and the close was weak and near the bottom. May being off llc. at 7777c Corn was rather quiet, and an easier feel ing pervaded the pit. the fear of a severe break in wheat preventing much buying. The close was steady, with May off c, at 44c Oats were easy in sympathy with- the lower prices in other grains, and trading waa light. The close was easier. May down, at 304c Provisions opened fairly firm on small re ceipts of hoes and higher prices at the yards, but the early strength was soon lost on liquidation by outsiders. Covering by shorts in January pork caused an advance of SOc in that deliver, and the close was 55c up. Ev erything else was weaker. May pork closing 15c lower, lard 12c down, and ribs a shade lower.

The chief teachers of socialism In this country are those who have ostentatiously paraded their power under present condl tlons to conjure enormous -wealth from combinations, from trusts, from water. from railroad discrimination, from legls latlvo favor. When people see vast cor poratlons built up by secret contracts with common earners in violation of law, when they see other corporations permit ted" by Ill-adjusted tariff duties to sell their goods here for so much that it is profitable to purchase abroad those same goods manufactured here and freight them back, it is no wonder that they grow discontented. "We firmly bellevG that a plunge into socialism would be the ruin of this country. Its salvation must be found in free initiative and enterprise as of old. Whatever seems to largo bodies of tho people to trench upon that freedom by granting special privileges tends to provoke demands for sucll regulation of equality as will kill individualism and en terprise.
