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.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Usual Tost Holiday Dullneta Tn Felt In
Most lines.-
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27. Tho usual post
holiday duIlnesH was felt in most of the local
markets. Wheat options had some advances,
and would probably have. ben higher In sym
pathy with Chicago, hut for the bad working
of the Eastern wires. Spot prices for all
cereals were firmly sustained. Oat were In
better -demand. Hay recelpja wore lighter, but
local trade was very dull. Bran was firm.
Cold and dark weather was against trade in
cUniR fruits. Stocks of oranges are accumu
lating, owing to liberal receipts, and prices
aro weak. The citrus market is not likely to
find IUi true lev-luntll the regular auction
wiles commence next week. Apples are in
light aupply and steady, but trade is quiet.

at provlous prices. ,

INCREASED BEER PRODUCTION.
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 $1.14Ul.H9s-
The corn market held firm throughout the
session. May closed at 45?ift45c
Tho oats market waa Influenced; by strength
in other grains, and by tho anticipated in
crease in consumption that would result from
zero weather. May closed at 31$ic
Provisions started strong on smaller re
ceipts of hogs, but at the advance offerings
were larger than the buying orders -could ab
sorb. Pork cloned at $12.87; -May lard at
7.20. and May ribs at $6.72H06.7a.

MAY CHALLENGE GENERAL NU
Local Wrestler Wants to Meet Jap
Jiu-Jitsujan.
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. Doc. 27 Battling
Nelson and his partner, Theodore Mu:
phy, who was arrested at Stockton a left
days ago on a charge of embezzling tho
bulk of the pugilist's two latest contests,
appeared aYm in arm today before Police
Judge Cabaniss. Eddie Santry, also under
arre3t on a similar charge, was with
them.
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.
