THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1903.-

IT MAY GO HIGHER
Decided Strength Shown by
the Coffee Market.
MANIPULATION IN THE EAST
Local Butter Dealers Drop Quotation
oYi Creamery Brands-First
New Dates From
Arabia Arrive.
The principal feature la the grocery trade la
the past few days has been the strength
shown by coffee. The advance that was re
corded In package coffees Is not expected to
end the matter, a further upward movement
being- dally looked for. As has been stated,
new coffee prices are expected to open up
about 1 cent higher on low grades, and 1V40
2 cents up on hiph grades.. In the East, bear
Interests continued to make much of the con
tinued Quietness on the part of the trade,
which they claim indicates the existence of a
considerable Invisible supply of coffee. Not
only, they state, Is the invisible supply of
coffee large, but there is aa enormous amount
of coffee la sight, as shown by the world's
visible statement, which must be considered
In the present upward movement of prices.
Bull Interests, on the other hand, call attention
to the comparatively small crop movement for
the season of the year, which they claimed
goes to confirm the accuracy of the predic
tions of a comparatively small yield from the
present Brazil crop. Relative to the reports of
the dull trade demand, bull interests state that
the advices from the different spctloas of the
country show that a good business is being
transacted in coffee, but that interior mer
chants are at present working off their re
serve stocks obtained at a lower basis -of
values, and that it is therefore probable that
by the turn of tho year, or possibly sooner,
the interior trade will again appear in the
market as a good buyer to obtain supplies.
By that time. It also was contended, the com
parative smallness of the current crop will
be more plainly discernible than at present,
which, together with the reported indications
of a short yield from the growing Brazil crop,
warrant the belief In a hlghor range of values.
Oysters for Paclflo Coast.
According to a report from New Tork a ship
meat of C000 cases of new pack canned oysters
has been made for points on the Pacific
Coast. This lot Is said to be the first of im
portance to go forward this season, and is the
beginning- -of the regular movement in the
article to "Western points. Prices now made
public on the 1003 pack by Southern packers
are as follows: Four ounce; four dozen cans
per case, 70 cents per dozen f. o. b. Savannah,
Go,; S ounces, 75 cents; 6 ounces, $1.30; 10
ounces, $1.45. It is stated on good authority
that all of the shell fish packed la the fac
tories in South Carolina and Georgia have
been contracted for ahead. Baltimore pack
ers It is stated, have been large buyers, ow
ing to the small supplies la the Chesapeake
Bay region. A private advice from BalUmore
states that packers there are hard pushed for
material, and that a considerable number of
orders booked for November shipment are sUU
unfilled, and will have to De carried over into
next month.

RUSHTO BUY COTTON
Sensational Rise of Prices at
New York and New Orleans.
GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
Heaviest Sales in the History of the
Exchanges-Fortunes Made by
Traders in a Few Minutes
of Business Yesterday.
NEW YORK, Dec S. An unprecedented rush
to buy, & sensational soaring of prices up-"
ward and the heaviest sales on record followed
the announcement on the New York Cotton
Exchange of the Agricultural Department's es
timate of the cotton crop for the present sea
son. 9,962,039 bales. At the sound of 'the word
"Nine," indicating the number of million bales
In the estimate, a scene of frantic bidding set
in, the shorts la their excitement not waiting
to learn that the total estimate was but S7.961
bales short of the round 10,000.000, and Instant
ly prices Jumped from 10 to 20 points on the
first sales, the -rise continuing until advances
of from 30 to 40 points were registered be
fore the close of an hour and of from 00 to
70 points before the upward movement was
checked.
Then the uncovering of long cotton in tre
mendous volume, with the advance and the
realization that the estimate was practically
10,000,000 bales caused a temporary reaction,
but soon an outpour of buying orders from
outside markets and bullish reports sent prices
upward again, and at the high point reached
shortly before tho close, December cold at
12.22c; January, 12.46; March, 12.59c; May,
12J7c and July. 12.60c, or 7987 points above
the low level of the morning. The market
closed strong at nearly the top with prices net
CO to 74 points hlghor. Sales were estimated
at 2,000,000 bales, exceeding anything before
recorded, while prices broke all records for this
season of the cotton year.
The volume of business was so great and the
excitement so Intense that the brokers were
on the vergo of collapsing, the maximum ad
vance representing an enhancement In value of
from $300 to $350 per bale, and the fluctua
tions meaning the gain or loss of fortunes.
Closing prices were: December, 12.32c; Janu
ary. 12.24c; February, 12.46c; March. 12.53c;
April, 12.54c; May, 12.60c; June, 12.57c; July,

Excitement at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec 3. New Orleans cot
ton futures Jumped from 52 to CO points after
the reading of the Bureau report and estimate
of this season's crop. It was the moat excit
ing day la the history of the exchange. The
trading ring had to be roped off so that the
brokers, 20 deep around It, might have all the
room possible to trade in. The trading floor
was so crowded that It was hardly possible to
get from one- end of the room to the other.
The volume of business probably greatly ex
ceeded that of any previous day in the history
of the Exchange. Prominent bull leaders bid
for immense quantities of cotton, and cover
ing by shorts who looked for on estimate of
at least 10,400,000 bales was also heavy. For
tunes were made and lost within Ave minutes
after the estimate was out.

part of the session, elevator people were act
ive buyers, and shorts covered freely. In re
sponse to this demand, prices advanced rapid
ly. May closing l&c higher, at 81c
Active covering by shorts caused a strong
market in corn. After opening !c higher at
42&c, May sold between 42ffi42c and 430
43H.C, and closed at 42c
Light stocks and continued small receipts,
with a good cash demand, caused a bullish
sentiment among local traders In the oats
pit. May sold between 35&c and 3654c and
closed at the top.
Provisions were firm early and a trifle higher
In sympathy with the strength in groins and
on higher prices at the yards. The close was

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Flarry la December Wheat Enlivens Grata
Trade.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 8. (Special.) A,
flurry in December wheat enlivened the local
grain market. Short sellers: alarmed at the
smallness of contract stocks, ran the price up
2c In their efforts to AIL The May option was
also stronger, and cash prices had a fair ad
vance. Barley sympathised with wheat and
closed stronger In all positions, but trade was
inactive. Oats were firm. Bran weakened
under heavy arrivals, chiefly from tho north.
The cut in trans-Paclfio freights is increasing
the Oriental demand for flour.
Apple dealers now report a quieter and easy
market, with liberal stocks on band. Oranges
continue dull and weak, and will probably
be unsettled until the quality of the fruit Im
proves and regular auction sales begin. Tho
lemon market Is heavily stocked and weak.
Bananas aro steady. Pineapples are abundant.
The poorer quality and lower range of prices
of the lost received Oregon burbanks, together
with free arrivals of river stocks, have weak
ened the potato market, but the depression Is
regarded as only temporary, as good potatoes
are likely to command higher values. Onions
continue weak.
Choice bops are bringing 22c, and occasion
ally slightly higher.
All dairy products have a weaker tendency.

TOO HTJCH SAMENESS.
Lovely Woman, Whether of Syracuse
or Seattle, "Takes On" Just So.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
One of the things that strike tho trav
eler Id this country la that wherever he
may roam North, South, East or "West
the people ho meets are pretty nearly the
same.
They all speak ohe language, or strive
to do so, as a general thing. They all
dress alike. They have common Ideals
and aspirations, and are all swayed by
common likes and dislikes. One may find
In New Orleans, Galveston or San Fran
cisco oxapt counterparts of the types one
Is familiar with in Chicago, Boston or
New York.
We are a homogeneous people. There
is not very much variety to us. If the
civilizing Influences which are working
upon us in all quarters continue in the
future as in the past to wipe out all sec
tional characteristics and reduce us all to
a common type, we shall soon cease to be
interesting even to ourselves.
One would suppose that the ladies of
Duluth might be different in some re
spects from the ladies of Chicago, but they
are not. They are just the same. A
mouse found its way Into the First Bap
tist Church of Duluth last Sunday during
service. The women of the congregation
jumped on the seats of the pews,
screamed, gathered their skirts about Qiem
and expressed terror in their faces, just
as women have done in Chicago under
similar circumstances, and just as
women would do In Savannah, Philadel
phia, Cleveland, Omaha, Denver, Santa
Fe or Tampa.
This Is why travel in this country lacks
some of those features which make a
tour through tho continent of Europe
so interesting. Everywhere one goes over
there one sees new types, runs up against
new manners, falls afoul of new customs,
and Is constantly interested and enter
tained by exhibitions of novel and un
expected natural and racial characteris
tics. Over here even, tho mice are the same.
A Seattle mouso would create as much
uproar In a church congregation as a
Buffalo mouse; a St. Paul mouse would
breed panic in a church congregation
as quickly as a Key "West mouse.
The "Los Angeles woman would scream
just the samo kind of a scream as the
Charleston woman and the Boston
woman, with all of her pretensions to
distinctive qualities, would be just as
agile and gather her skirts just as close
ly about her in the presence of a church
mouse as the less pretentious and mora
emotional St. Louis woman.
It is too bad that this is the case. It
is too bad that we are all becoming so
much alike. The process of assimilation
Is going on too rapidly. Some think it a
good thing, and perhaps it has Its re
deeming features: but, nevertheless, the
tourist of the United States would be bet
ter satisfied, for instance, if the Santa
Barbara woman would conduct herself
just a trifle differently from the Evanston
woman in the presence of a mouse. Some
little variation in her method of hop
ping on the seat, in her scream, In the
way she pulls her skirts around her, or
In the panicky expression of her eyes
would be a relief.
A Wayside Jingle.
Frank S. Stanton, In Atlanta Constitution.
We worry 'bout the weather
With happy days In flight;
We've hod enough of sunshine.
An' tho rain's all right!
We heard the Summer slngln',
An' reaped the daisies white;
We'vo had a world of sunshine, .
An' the rain's all right!

BOOM IN STOCK MARKET
5REAT STRENGTH DEVELOPED
BY THE GENERAL LIST.
Improved Sentiment Over the Finan
cial and Industrial Outlook
Business on the Mend.
NBW YORK, Deo. 3. The stock market
broke Into great animation today, and devel
oped much strength, with obvious distress on
the part of short Interests. The volume of
dealings rose to tho neighborhood of 1,000.000
shares. The activity was progressive, the early
part of the day being given over to intermits
tent buying movements, with Intervals of ex
treme dullness.
The strength of the first part of the day
was also confined to a few special stocks, and
was Interrupted by occasional selling move
ments to take profits, even In those stocks.
There was a large number of the stocks of
the first prominence which did not come Into
the upward movement at alL Nearly all of
-the Western stocks were laggards until late
In the day, and the cotton-carrying roods had
no share in the day's activity and strength.
Even the movement in Pennsylvania, which
became of decisive influence, was late In de
veloping, and that stock was one of the many
which were below last night in the early re
action. The few Industrials which spurted
upward In a sensational manner In the closing
dealings yesterday were Inclined to reaction
on proflt-4aklnc. Colorado Fuel lost two fall
points, as the report of an Intended bond issue,
which was offered to explain yesterday's rise,
did not seem to promise well for the common
stock. Sugar lost a point on profit-taking,
ana Amalgamated Copper was a fraction be
low last night at one time. The extensive
advertising of predictions of an advance on
Amalgamated Copper aroused com suspicion
toward it, but the stock came into the late
upward movement. Canadian Pacific suffered!
from the report of a new Issue of capital.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the up
ward movement of prices gathered momentum
and volume as the day proceeded, and was
effective In alarming a more Important short
interest than has yet been reached Blnce the
turn from the extreme depression of the mar
ket. The causes of the advance were rather
obscure, but vague assertions were freely cir
culated of a large and determined absorption
of stocks by the various groups of great capi
talists and banks which make up the domi
nant powers in the financial world. The long
standing rumor of an adjustment of the dis
pute between the Gould and Pennsylvania in
terests fed eagerly on the report that counsel
for the Western Union and the Pennsylvania
had formed aa agreement that no more West
ern Union poles should be cut, pending a Judi
cial decision of the case la controversy. In
a general way, there was undoubtedly on im
proved sentiment over the general financial
and industrial outlook. Opinions were heard
that the worst of the reaction in Iron and
eteel hod been seen, with good hopes of Im
provement. Call money lent again as high as 7 per
cent, and the movement of currency to New
Orleans continues, but additional engagements
of cold In London for both Boston and New
Tork account offered the same assurance that
actual necessities can be provided for. The
decrease in value of Imports at New Tork for
November of upward of $7,000,000 is an index
of the favorable tendency of our foreign trade
In Its bearing on the money situation. The
prevailing mood of the stock exchange was
bullish, and all contrary Influences were Ig
nored. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, $4,600,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on the
last calL

BETTER TONE TO IRON TRADE.
Bat the Movement of Material Is Not
Large. ,
CLEVELAND, Dec. 3. The Iron Trade Re
view, In Its current Issue, says:
The tone of reports from selling centers Is
rather more cheerful this week, but the move
ment of material is not such as to be sig
nificant. December is not an active month,
and the wage reductions currently announced
and the more general ones to come at the end
of the year ore not calculated to create op
timism. Tet there is a general refusal through
out the trade to assume that deep or long
drawn depression Is abroad. Mills and fur
naces shut down, but other mills and furnaces
start up, and the volume of shipments Indi
cate average consumption, that only seems
small by contrast with a business that could
not be handled.
Southern pig iron producers, whoso opera
tions" have been the gauge of the market for
so long a time, are evidently making a stand,
though not conceitedly, at $9.25 Birmingham
for No. 2 foundry Iron. A report of the week,
whose Importance will be determined by
events, is that a syndicate,- composed chiefly
of directors of a large Southern furnace com
pany, has bought and taken off the market
75,000 tons, comprising nearly all the com
pany's accumulated stock.
. Consumers have made further considerable
purchases of Southern Iron, Western buying
being In some cases for round lots, and pipe
works are negotiating for additional tonnage.
Northern furances continue to let Southern
sellers take 'business, and will not meet prices,
though in the Pittsburg district, and at cer
tain points in Ohio, Northern prices come
closer to the Southern basis than was the cose
a few weeks ago. The readjustment of costs
I Is the problem with the Northern furnaces.
Some wage reductions have been made, and
on January 1 Western Pennsylvania and East
ern Ohio furnaces will make general reduc
tions. There remains much higher-priced ore
to use up, however, and Centralstern fur
naces, under their drastic curtailment pro
gramme, will not need next year's ore before
August, Coke has already had a considerable
fall, but efforts to secure agreement among
.producers give no great promise of success.
