19 THE MORNING OREGQNIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1904. CITY TRADE OPENS Strong Holiday Demand Produce Lines. in MARKETS ARE WELL SUPPLIED California Drawn Upon to Increase Assortment Poultry Will Be Plen tiful and Probably Offered at Reasonable Prices. The city holiday trade on Fwnt streot.opened Up actively yesterday. Country orders began ceming la last week. Jabbers and commission men are well prepared for the rush, and ex pect to handle a bigger business then ever be fore. They are net only carrying large sup plies, but have an unusually varied 6sortmont of vegetables and fruit. The first ear af Cajttprnla vegetables -of the Reason arrived yesterday, containing: cabbage, cauliflowers, sprouts, peas, beans, .celery, rhii Varb and new potatoes. The latter offered at -1c a pound. A straight car of celery from Los Angeles has arrived and will reach the city later in the week. Oranges are abundant, and notwithstanding the excellence of the quality, prices are much lower than is usual at this time of the year, quotations ranging from 52 to $2.50 per box. Lemons are offering at $2.75o.25, and new grapefruit at $3. Some fairly good strawr tarries were received yesterday and sell at $2 per box of 15 baskets. A novelty for the Christmas trade will be a. shipment of Califor nia grapes packed in cork dut in barrels after the fashion 'of Malaga grapes. Imported Mal agas are HeM at $3S.50. Tears of the pound, Beurr Easter and Vicar of Wakefield vari eties are in good supply. Apples are plentiful and somewhat firmer, as the bulk of the local stock has been worked oft. Fancy grade. arc quoted at ?lJl.r0. and good cooking apples at 00c to 76c per box. It is too early accurately to forecast the poultry market, but from present indications It Is believed supplies will bo ample and prices about those new quoted wMl prevail. Turkeys are expected to hold clo?o to the 20c mark, and if any change is made. It will most likely be In chickens, the tendency of which remains weak. ENDICOTTS SHIPMENTS GROW. Only Two Whitman County Points Exceed It In Wheat Movement, COLFAX, Wash.. Dec. 19. (Special.) Kndt- cott claims to be the third largest wheat-ship. ping point in Whitman County this year, and comes to the front with a total of 000,000 bushels marketed by farmers living in that vicinity. At 75 cents per bushel, this means a total of $450,000 paid to farmers living near the little village for a single season's crop of wheat. There are but two stations in Whitman County which exceeded Endioott in wheat ship ments this year. These are Rosalia, with about 800,000 bushels, and St. John, with 700, 000 bushels. Rosalia's receipts arc, consider ably lees than they were In a number of pre- ious seasons, having parsed the 1,000,000' bushel mark on two or three occasions, but the decrease is largely due to the fact that new sidetracks were built within the territory from which Rosalia formerly drew her ship ments of wheat. St. John's receipts arc the largest In the history of the town, surpassing the receipts of l&Wbylully 250,000 bushels. The remarkable feature of Endieott's - lro. mens receipts of grain is the fact that a few years ago the country which produced this immense crop was considered worthless for agricultural purposes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19. The stock market fell Into a holiday rut today. Beyond that fact, there is little to chronicle. There was a brief recovery In the early dealings from the decline which was in force when the mar ket closed on Saturday, but fresh eccentricity on the part of Amalgamated Copper was a signal for a subsidence of interest and a sink ing of prices as on Saturday. The movement in Amalgamated Copper was not violent, but the quick response of the rest of the market to it slight demonstrations Was a testimony to the state of terrorism in which en clement is held by the threat of this stock's actions. The advance which was In terrupted by the Intimidating Influence of the hrenk In AmaJeam&ted dnnoer was not re sumed, with any force or confidence afterward,1- although the Copper stock itsolf steadied and became quiet, without further disturbing man ifestations. The rise was led most conspicuously by the United States Steel stocks, and many reports were- published and In circulation of the pros perous condition of tho affairs of the corpora tion at present. Among theee was aa asser tion that it hid been determined to raise the prices for steel plates, barn and structural steel. The day'a returns of gross earnings of railroads for the second week of December showed good uniform Increases throughout the countryi The expansion of the movement of corn to market is especially notable and help- ul to railroads In the corn country. The bank statement of Saturday was re garded as giving assurance of exemption from stringency over the year-end. but the con servative tone developing In the trading may be traaed to money market considerations. It Is felt that the present assurance of quiet In the money market baa only been secured by the withdrawal of commitments to the stock market, which was effected by the recent shak ing out o: weak holdings. Tb time U not considered propitious for Immediate tying up of these resources again. The yearly require ments remain to be met, and the current of gold is still outward. Demand wan strong for exchange for Wednesdays steamer, tnat being the last ship available to meet obliga tions in London before January 1. Bor.ds were Arm. Total sales, par value. $2,640,000.

Cold weather had a quieting effect on the fruit market, especially citrus varieties. Seven carloads of oranges arrived, but as receivers d!4 not force sales, prices were no lower. As foreshadowed last week, receipts of apples were larger. Six carloads arrived from the North, but came to concerns that aro protect ing the market, and prices were well main tained, with a fair Inquiry for good medium and fancy stock. Christmas apples hail a lower range, owing to the arrival of many small boxes from Oregon. Fancy potatoes were firm.

Alnslee's. The diplomatic corps, always an impor tant factor in the social life of the cap ital, has become more so slnco the' great powers of Europo -began accrediting Am bassadors to our Government Instead of Ministers. Indeed. I know of no capital In the -world where the diplomats are as much made of as they are In Washington. Neither in London nor In Paris, and cer talnly not in Vienna, does the fact that you are a diplomat open the doors of a single private house to you. In no first- class London club aro its privileges ex tended to a diplomat as such. No self- respecting woman in Berlin or St. Peters burg would thrust thrust, that's the word-her hospitality upon strangers for no other reason, apparentb't than that they happened to be in the diplomatic service of their countries. Yet here- we have homes, not many. fortunately, which fairly yawn .to admit within their walls any foreigner, pro vided he be a diplomat. It is one of the worst evidences of Washington society's provincialism. The truth is that too many "European governments still regard Washington as a sort of Botany Bay, and that too many diplomats prefer going to a comparatively obscure part of Europe rather than go to Washington. No one would pretend to say that the men who represent their countries In London. Pans, Vienna or Berlin would ever voluntarily come here The reasons do not concern us. The facts remain to. set us thinking. At least. they ought to. Our society closes Its eyes to many things in the family life of diplomats. which it would not tolerate for a single moment In the family life of Americans The number of diplomatic closets contain ing awkward skeletons Is appallingly largo at all times; it never was as large his It Is now. Yet it does not seem to im pair the standing of any diplomat bold enough to open and shut his closet at will. Thousands whom It has cured vouch for the value of Hood's Sarsaparllla as a cure lor catarrn. Downing, Hopkins & Co. Established 1893 . WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor RECEIPTS FALL OFF CAUSE URGENT DEMAND FOR WHEAT AT CHICAGO. Sentiment Bullish Throughout Most of the Session The 'World's Movement. CHICAGO. Dec. 19. The wheat market showed greatest strength soon after tho open ing. On good buying by commission-houses and local shorts, sentiment at the start waa bullish. Initial quotations on May were up c to c at $1.101.11. The main cause of the urgent demand was a sharp falling off in receipts In the Northwest. Another factor that entered Into the situation, however, was a . decrease In the amount on passage, to gether with a decrease In world's shipments. A noticeable feature of the statistics of the worlds movement was the smallness of ship ments from Russia. Advices from Minneapolis told of a good demand for cash wheat. With offerings light, prices advanced still further until May sold up to $1.11. For a time the market held firm, the strength being apparent ly due to a scarcity of offerings, rather than to any great demand. Bullish reports 'con cerning the condition of the wheat crop In Kansas also helped to support prices. Late in the day sentiment became somewhat easier on profit-taking and on selling brought, out by a considerable Increase In the visible sup ply. The weekly report of a Cincinnati trade journal was also construed as being slightly bearish. According to this authority, the snows and rains of the, past week hava af forded the wheat crop partial relief from the prevailing drouth. While the ground Is still ary, existing conditions on the whole were claimed to be quite favorable. After a re action to $1.101.10. the May option closed at $1.11. a fairly firm undertone being mani fested at the finish. Considering the enormous local receipts, the corn market had a fairly firm tone the greater part of the day. May opened lower at 45&45c. sold up to 45g45c. and closed at 45 l-5n. A steady lone prevailed In the oats market. May closed at 32V432c. Provisions were firm throughout the entire session. At the close May pork was up 10c, with lard and ribs each 5c higher.

An invitation to the White House, for Instance, 20 years ago, would have been regarded as one to be accepted or de clined to suit the convenience of the per son invited. It Is today regarded In the light of a "royal command." As against It no other engagement is permitted to stand. And it Is not merely confined to Invitations Issued directly by the Presi dent. An attempt is now being made to extend the rule so as to Include mem bers of the President's family. We have reached the pofnt. Indeed, where a debu tante about to give a dinner to other debutantes of the season, having Issued invitations to it some four weeks ahead, absented herself from the dinner at her mother's direction and went to the White House, because the day before she had been asked, over the telephone by the President's daughter to join a theater party. To some of us who have seen the rnon archs of the old world invite themselves to the houses of their subjects. It peems odd that Washington etiquette compels the President to visit no other house ex cept it be that of one of the members of his ofllcial family in other words, the cabinet. We have, at receptions at the White House, a "behind the line"-ra space re served for favored guests in the room where the President shakes hands with those invited from which vantage ground the passing throng Is scrutinized by those within the "reservation," and we reach the qllmax when the President, at the close of the reception, leads the "receiv ing party" to rooms above, where a sup per Is served, leaving other guests to find their way home, hungry and thirsty. as best they may.
