Portland's Clearings.Increased
Over 7 Per Cent Last Year.
IN RANK, THIRTY-SECOND CITY
Large Growth in Transactions at St.

Comparative Figures of
Large Eastern Cities.
Portland ranked 32d among the cities of the
United States last year in ameunl ot bank
clearings. The total for the year, as compiled
by Bradstreet's. vu $I&S.&13,4C6- In the
preceding year, -when Portland stood In the
ame rank, ;be clearings were $175,553,741.
The increase in 1904 over 1003 was 7.6 per
ent. Seattle last year dropped to 2Sth place
rom 27 Ih in lf03. with clearings showing a
gain of 7.3 per cent, the amount In 1904 being
$222,217,300 and in J303 $20,913.S21. Taooma
maintained hr rank as the 4Sd city, with
tieariiigs of $115,763,900. a gain of 15.2 per
cent over the preceding year, when the figures
were $100,474.16. Spokane advanced from 42d
to 41st place in the list, with a gain of 10.0
per cent in clearings, those of 1904 being"
J12J.1CS.C11 and of 1903 $111,935,820.
In the California cities. San Francisco re
mained In seventh place, with clearings of
91.534, 634.130 last year, an compared with
31.SZ2.19S.48S in 1003, or a decrease of 7.10
Tfr cent. Loa Angeles showed a gain of 12.3
per cent and advanced from 22d to 19th in
rank. Ten years ago Los Angeles was number
38 In a Old of 75. Clearings in 1904 amount
ed to $345,343,956 and In the previous year to
307,81C,S30.
Of the great Eastern cities New" York leads
-with clearings more than half as large as
th-e of the entire country combined. In 1904
New York's clearings were $08,049,418,673 and
in 1SG3 $65,970,337,955, having Increased 4 per
een. Chicago was second with an Increase
f 2.7 per cent, the clearings last year being
SS.flS9.0S3,761 and the year before $8,775,553,
650. The 'World' Fair at St. Louis was respon
rtble for an increase of 11.2 per cent in the
cltarlng-houbc transactions of that city. The
clearings of St. Louis last year were $2,793,
233.918 and in IMS $2,510,479,245.
Ninety-two cities contribute to Bradstreet's
compilation. The grand aggregate for 1904 is
$111,784,452,867. a gain of 2.9 per cent over
1903. The latter year, it may be recalled,
-howed a lo&s ot 7. per oent from 1902.
which in turn showed a decrease of a frac
tion or 1 per cent from the record year 1901.
Of the 92 cities reporting. G2 show Increases
ever 1908. while 32 show decreases. In other
words, about two-thirds of all cities show
gains. A grouping of the cities showing de
creases brings out the Tact that New England
and the Middle States groups furnish six
each, tho State of Ohio by itself seven and
tho South three, while the balance Is scat
tered widely among the other groups. Four
"arge cities Bostou. Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and Baltimore show decreases, the first two'
ot about 1 per cent each, the third of 12,4 per
cent and the last-named of 3.7 per cent. The
decrease or 13.4 per cent hown by Cleveland
Is no doubt traceable to effect of quiet in1 lake
"flde growing out ot depression In Iron, the
lae opening of navigation and the lake strike
early In tho shipping season. The largest
gain made by any city Is that reported by
Ja ksonvlllc. Fla.. 49 per cent, but Wichita
i-hows a gain of 37.6 per cent and Memphis
cne of 21.7 per cent. The largest decrease re
ported l that by Topeka. 36.3 per cent, fol
lowed by Worcester with a loss of 21.5 per
-ejit, and at a little further distance tiy FaJJ
River, Akron and Toungstown, with losses of
abeut 21 per cefjt each.
tlianges in rank from 1903 among prominent
cities are not very numerous. It might be
noted, however, that Cincinnati passed Balti
more, taking eighth place from the scacoast
city, no doubt aa a result partially of the
great fire early in the year. Minneapolis also
took twelfth place from Cleveland, which fell
behind over $100,000,000. while the former In
creased by that amount: Louisville moved up
one point at the expense of Detroit, gaining
6 4 per cent, while the latter increased 0.5 per
cent Milwaukee took ICth place away from
Omaha. In 1903 these two cities were almost
tied
Among- Canadian cities Vancouver and
Quebec showed the only changes, the former
taking sixth place away from the latter.
Montreal lost about $48,000,000 from 1903.
while Winnipeg gained $48,000,000. Decreased
tock speculation at the former, and the
growth of the latter city in keeping with the
Northwestern development are no doubt rea
fn for'thlF.
METAL TRADE QUIET.
But Mecl Corporation Working Nearly
Full Time.
NEW TOHK. Jan. 19. -With norae minor
rx or-iienx the markets all along the line have
been rather quiet during the past week and
t--r are. says tho Iron Age. some alarmists
who fIiow symptoms of uneasinefiji. The very
1 that the trade Is producing and consuming
eo enormous a quantity for thl season of the
ears seems to Inspire doubts as to tho pons I -b'llfy
or maintaining the pace. On tho other
Vjunl, the principal preoccupation of other
conservative interests is that there may bo
danger of a runaway market as the usually
busy reason--Spring approaches. Powerful in
furnroB are arrayed on the sHe of keeping
rri'-ea of finished materials at the present
1 et. with the poselbjr exception of wire
rroduots. .ind this causes hesitation on the
"art of smaller manufacturers to book much
additional business whn they must cover the
nw material at the present range of price.
Pome of them look forward to another period
er premium over official prices for prompt
delivery.
in spile, of the fact that the Steel Corpora
ti. n is turning nearly every wheel It controls,
the management Is forced in many finished
!lce to pro-rale shipments in the order In
which specification have- been received, being
vrable to All (Ih demands of all. Tho Steel
Corporation Is running 94 per cent of Its blart
furnace capacity, has every teel plant, ex
cept Columbus. In operation, is operating 93
per cent ot the tin-plate mills. 8S per cent of
the sheet mills and U runing full on tubes,
bars, plates and shapes.
considerable tonnage of re is being con
tracted for. Eastern furnace men have taken
fvcral hundred thousand tons of non-Bessemer
Mesaba ores on the basis of $3 a ton. as
compared with $2.40 a ton last year. The
Eastern furnace already liave bought koikp
otisidcraM quantities ot European and Cu
ban ores, while Eastern home producers are
crowded for deliveries beyond their capacity.
The event of the veek has been the purchase
cn the part of the Steel Corporation of 25,009
tosa of Bessemer pig at $15.50 valley fur

ADVANCES IN READING
CAUSE CORRESPONDING DE
CLINES IN OTHER STOCKS.
Manipulation of the Coaler Is "Sus
pected Amalgamated Dull De
spite Action on Dividend.
NEW YORK. Jan. 19. Transactions oa the
Stock Exchange were aot as large today as
yesterday, but 'sales reached about tho
1.000, OOO-ahare mark asd the leas congested
dealings in Reading sufficiently accounted for
the contraction In the total. The movement
of prices was hesitating and irregular, the
level fluctuating constantly' throughout tho
(lay.
The violent advance la Reading, instead of
proving an Incitement to thebuylng of stock
elsewhere, developed Into a positively deterrent
factor. The rocket-like rise In that Mock ta
above. 90 In the first hoar proved a wet blanket
to speculative enthusiasm, and tho upward
course which prices had taken, at the opening
was reversed. When Reading was let back
and quieted somewhat, prices were .pushed up
ward at some ether points and efforts made
to rvive the animation of the market. It
was diligently sought to "convey the impres
sion that the excited rise in Reading was due
to its heavy earnings and the highly prosper
ous condition of the anthracite trade rather
than to any large outstanding abort interest
or to any danger of a corner in the stock, as
began to be feared yesterday. Rumor con
tinued very busy with associations of a abort
interest In tho stock which was in distress
and there was much conjecture as to its iden
tity. At the same time, the way in which the
prosperity ot the anthracite trade and the
earnings of tho coalers were enlarged upon
caused a diversion of the speculation into the
other coalers, the easiest recourse for the mar
ket leaders. The movement turned Ont into
Ontario &. Western and then Into the Erles.
Amalgamated Copper enjoyed an early ad
vance on the strength of the increase of the
dividend disbursement by a subsidiary coia
jiany and the expectation of corresponding ac
tion by its own directors during the day. But
the speculation in the stock proved unusually
quiet for a day set apart for dividend action,
and it was under pressure on reactions with,
the rest of the market. Besides the misgivings
aroused by the feats of trouble among a short
interest In Reading the threatened strike ot
trainmen in the Pennsylvania service caused,
an undertone of anxiety throughout the whole
market.
The earnings for the second week in Janu
ary, which came to hand, failed to fchow the
same rate ot increase over thooe of last year,
which has been the rule in the recent pa&t.
thus confirming the views of traffic officials
that a Intd-Winler lull had occurred in trade
activity. Talk of disputes over Western and
Southwestern grain rates also received atten
tion. Brooklyn Transit weakened on 'the re
port submitted to the State Railroad Commis
sion concerning the large outlay which would
be required to secure the effective operation
of the system. This movement and pressure
against Reading and Amalgamated Copper
helped to make the closing eaty.
There was a. broad and active demand for
bonds of practically all grades and the course
of prices was generally upward. -Total sales,
par -value, $6,006,000. United States bonds
were all unchanged oa the last call.

HEAVY ARGENTINE SHIPMENTS.
Cause Break Id Chicago Wheat Prices
Feeling of Uncertainty.
CHICAGO. Jan. 19. The wheat market
opened fairly steady, with May unchanged to
HSc lower, at $1.16gLlGb to Sl.16. Trad
ing, however, lacked animation. While pit
traders generally were bearish, a feeling of
uncertainty held them in check and prevented
any great amount selling. The fact that the
tig holders were doing nothing in the way ot
marketing their wheat bad a tendency to re
strict 1 offerings. News In general was favor
able to the tears. The highest point on May
was reached at 51.16. Late In tho day a
sharp break occurred and May sold oft to
5L14. The decline was primarily due to an
announcement by a British statistician that
this week's shipments from Argentina would
approximate S00.000 bushels, as agaltut 216.000
bushels last week. The break was accom
panied by heavy selling. The market closed
weak with May at 51.14.
Influenced by higher cables and light re
ceipts, the corn market was firm early in the
day, but weakened on heavy selling and the
break In wheat. May opened unchanged to
be, higher at 45c to 45c, and closed at
44fM4c x
Continued light receipts Imparted a firm
tone to the oats market at the start, but later
prices sagged off a trifle In sympathy with
the weakness of wheat. May closed Uc to
c lower at 30H631c
Only a limited volume of business was
transacted in provisions. At the cloee May
-pork was off 2b35c. at 3!2.G2b- Lard and
riha were each unchanged at 36.S5 and J 8.07b
6.70 respectively.

full prices fer choice. Hay and fecdstuffs
were quiet on local account, as green feed Is
plentiful.

but business with the Orient Is helping out
the market.
All grades ot oranges, exeept a few fancy
brands, are easy. Lemons are plentiful.

Supplies were moderate today, but larger re
ceipt arc expected soon.
