Stocks, Though Inactive, Have a Strong Undertone Evidences of Confidence In the Future. NEW YORK. Dec 27. The Stock Exchsxgo recumed buslneaa today, after tho three days' holiday, with only a languid interest; and the market was a nominal affair. This was in accordance with expectations, and the same state of affairs is -expected to endure through the week. Interested conjecture centers al most entirely upon the future. Th tightness -of tho money market, which Is usually a feature of this time of .the year, is entirely lacking at tho present, and ' tho rates for time money today were lower. The. condition in the money market is duo to the extremely quiet speculation In stocks. There are, besides, some coming requirements be yond tho end of the week which probaolyhavo' to do with Iho deslro to maintain quiet con ditions. In foreign money centers the ovent of chief Importance seema to be tho forth coming Russian loan, which Is expected to be offered In Berlin and Paris toward tho end of January, and which is expected to delay the easing effect of the influx or funds fol lowing the annual settlements. Except in the hypothesis of future demands of somo such character, it is difficult to explain the pres ent phenomenal quietude of the money mar ket. While the stock, market was but little more active today than during the dull session of last Friday, the tone was strong. This- waa in accordance with the tenor of the news, which was generally favorable -Tho elab orate terminal projects of the New York-Central In New York and the report of a heavy outlay by the Pennsylvania in Chicago for the same purpose seemed to ba impressive to sentiment as evidence of confidence la the railroad world in tho permanence of prosper ous conditions. The crippling of the wire service by the storm aggravated the dullness of business. The day'a advances were held well until the closing, which waa dull and firm. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $4,440,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Atchison SC?i Texas & Pacific. do preferred 101 T.. St. L. & W..

Mor Hops Eequired for American Con sumption. WOODBURN. Or.. Dec 27. (Special.) .Large- dealers in hops who hafe sold short have .resorted to methods so unusual as to merit attention. During the present month and in the latter, part of November, several sales, ostensibly made at. low prices, were given to the press by the bear element. .It Is asserted by' tho holders of hops that these sales were fictitious, and were not legitimate trans actions; in tho regular course of trade, but were advertised far and wide by the short sellers, both here and In the East, as demon strating conclusively a collapse in prices. That this method of manipulation did not result In any material decline In prlos Is solely due to the unprccedentedly strong statistical position of the hop market, to which was added the unwavering firmness of holders the world over. Bears In the hop market have most strenuously asserted that less hops may be needed during the coming year, but the following Government report on the number of barrels of beer paying Government tax during the month of Novem ber. 1004, as compared with the month ot November. 1903, will certainly prove the utter fallacy of such statements: United States barrel tax on beer for November. 1003 $3,347,477.34 United States barrel tax on beer for November, 1904 3,534,001.23 Increase of tax of November, 1304. over tax of Xovember,1903.$ 237,423.91 Or a, fraction over 7 per cent for the month. Notwithstanding this Increase, in the consump tion of hops by the brewing Industry, no more hops were raised In the United States in 1904 than are actually required for home ns, yet 70,000 bales of American hops have already been exported this season.

WHEAT INJURED BY FROST CROP REPORT, FRQy ARGENTINA CAUSES BULGE AT CHICAGOc 7 ' 7-.-' -.'c. Lively Demand From the Start, but Offerings Are Light Strong Cash Inquiry Helps Prices. CHICAGO. Dec 27. Inspired 07 a good de mand, wheat opened strong, with May up i c to X&Kc. at $1.12 to $1.13. The cold wave made the -probability of reduced deliver ies by farmers much more certain- Another factor Influential in producing" bulges was a cablegram from a Chicago crop expert in Ar gentina. The cablegram stated that much pf. tho wheat crop in Argentina, had been ripened prematurely by frost From the first tap of the bell a lively demand was In evi dence from commlselon-houaes. but fellers were few. In consequence, the market steadily gained In strength, notwithstanding reports that the long drouth In the Winter wheat territory had been broken by rain or snow, The - demand for cash wheat, both In tire Northwest and the Southwest, was greatly. Improved, and this helped to creato a. more bullish sentiment In speculative trading. Pri mary receipts "alao were much smaller than for the corresponding day & year ago, but owing to wire trouble these statistics were Incomplete. During the latter part of the session a leader of the bull crowd waa a free seller. Increased offerings found ready buy era, however, and prices continued to mount. The market closed at the highest point of the session. May being quoted at $1.14Ul.H9s- The corn market held firm throughout the session.

Tlte fact that General Buenmon Nil and his 15 jlu-Jltsuian Japanese are to give a performance- of this Japanese mysterious art, cn Thursday night, at tho Marquarn Theater, has roused great Interest among local athletes. In the city there are a number of both professional and amateur wrestlers and they are anxious to meet General Nil or any member of his com pany. The only drawback to a match of this sort is that jiu-jitsu has no connec tion with wrestling. A member of the Multnomah Club Is anxious to have a man he will select out of tho club meet General Nil. and in the near future a match of this sort may 'on arranged. These athletes, however, aro not the only persons Interested in this Japanese art. Mayor George H. "Williams, who Is deeply Interested in all sorts of sports, will be present. So also -will be Chief of Police Hunt. Invitations will also be ex tended today to General C. F. Beebe and Chief Campbell, of the Fire Department, and Tsuneejl Aiba. the- Japanese Consul. Seats are now selling. NELSON GETS HIS MONEY. Fighting Man Says It Was a Misun . derstanding With His Manager. SAN FRANCISCO.

Nelson took the stand and declared that the arrests were made while he was la boring under a misapprehension of facts and said he did not desire to prosecute anybody. The money in the property clerk's hands was then produced. Nelson being given $6901, and Murphy $2100, this division being according to tho manager's accounts. Tho cases were then dismissed and the trio left the courtroom. CONVEYANCE OF INSANE. Present Plan Better Than Having Special Attendants. OREGON CITY. Or.. -Dec. 27. (To. the Ed itorsHaving noticed an article In The Ore gonlan of December 23. proposing a new plan for tho conveyance -of the Insane patients from the place of commitment to tho Insane Asylum at Salem, I would submit that this subject, like all others, ha& two sides to it. First, the most Important of all s the prompt and careful treatment -of the unfortunate per son who has to be committed to the Insane Asylum. In consideration of this subject, let It be understood that there Is not a place In the State ot Oregon, excluding Multnomah County, that has any accommodations what ever that would be suitable for the confining of any Insane person for the length ot time that would be necessary to await the coming of an attendant from Salem. In many cases It would require several days for an attendant to arrive and receive "the patient. And again, would it not cost just as much for a person to travel from Salem to Baker City and back as It would cost to travel from Baker City lo Salem and back? To carry out this new plan. It appears to me. would necessitate the addition of several special attendants, whose duty it would be to go all ever the country gathering up the in sane patients and at times when there were nono to gather, their pay would go on just the same. From this point of view, I fail to see where there can be any material raving to the' state. Again, the new .plan has a tendency to centralize, which I do not think will lessen expenses or furnish any better as sistance than is nearly always furnished by the officials making the commitment. who,ar familiar with the patient and his case. Again, when an unfortunate person Is ad Judged Insane, instead of starting with him to the asylum Immedlatly, he will be stowed away in same unsuitable place awaiting- the coming of an attendant. As It Is now, the patient would be safely landed at the asylum by tho tlmo the attendant could reach the place from which the patient Is committed. To look the question squarely In the face, I do not believe the new plan offers any Im provements over the present one, and Inns much as the people foot tho bills. I think they should be the ones to havo the say. I am satisfied that the people would greatly prefer the present plan to any new-fangled scheme that would tend to promote tho Interests of politicians; and would, wihout doubt, work a hardship on the unfortunate insane of th.s state. I hopo that when this matter comes up In the coming Legislature, it will be carefully considered and decided In the Interest of all the people, and not tho few. E. C. MADDOCK.
