THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1905. MARROW BUT FIRM Metal Markets Quiet During the Past Week. PROSPECTS GOOD FOR RAILS Large Order Placed by a Northern Trans-Continental Line No Hope of Selling to Canada Mer- ' chant Pipe Higher. NEW YORK. Feb. 2.' So far as frosh buy ing is involved, the markets, generally speak ing, have bean rather qulot during the past ncrk. says the Iron Age. In the Pittsburg district steel makers huve not taken addition al quantities, ner.ls It certain that the ledlng ir.'ti-cft will purchase any notable quantl I'.m at once. The market hau been pretty thoroughly cleared up of speculative lots, only cr.e email parcel ot 1 lees than 3000 tons off-red at a shade under prevailing prices hav i tt betn sold. Lantern Btecl makers have shown increased ir. tr?t In supplying future wants, and sales aggrt gating ibout 25,000 tons have been con Br mated for delivery to the end of the year. Negations for further lota, are pending. The steel market is narrow and strong in a. I the principal selling centers. Some of t : rolling mills within moderate reach of t.de water have been testing the market for lm j; rud steel, but find conditions adverse and jics high, even for drawback tonnage. The G man coal strike is an uncertain factor In tie international markets. The English mar kets ate in a position to take care of require ments for the immediate future and ehow a i cpcfition to do so at no marked rise in the Ileports from the steel rail makers are bet ter than they were. In the West some fur ther large orders have been placed, Chicago reporting about 50,000 tons additional, ln-cl-dlr.g 30.000 tons for a Northern transcon tinental line. It Is reported that the South CM ago .Mill has not booked an. aggregate of 4W.0U tons out of a total capacity of 750.000 t B'. It is estimated that the mills in the pol now have about 1,000,000 tons on tholr books. Last year these mills shipped a little- under 1.450,000 tons, which include Cana dian and Mexican shipments, the official rec ord of exports having been 240,000 tons. This leaves a. little over 1,200,000 tons as the record cf lat year of this particular group of mills. BeslJes they contributed the balance of the a.porl5. which aggregated 414,800 tons. There is no hope whatever of selling to Canada this year under the Canadian tariff. Last year the exports to Cauada were 210,200 tons; but, even tailing into account that this busincKS Is lost, the position of the rail mills is much better than the last year, which will gD down into the history of the rail trade as the wonst for a long period of years. The activity in the merchant pipe trade has Justified a further advance of $1 l ton, and has brought about the placing of heavy orders for skdp. The structural and plate markets are quiet, so notable transactions having taken place. TOKTLaSD aiAKIiETS. Grain. Flour. Feed. Etc WHEAT Walla Walja. H6c; blucstem, lc; ahcj.

Attention Largely Concentrated in Reading, Because of Its Good Showing of Earnings. NEW TORK. Feb. 2. The speculative tem per on the Stock Exchange changed today from the heavy tone of yesterday, and thero was a resumption of confidence in hlghor prices according to the evidence of the pre dominance of buying over selling in the mar ket. Dealings were of about the samo dimen sions as yesterday and wcrq still obviously of a professional character to a large extent. Very large operations were easily traceable to the activity of organized parties of profes sional traders, and these operations also were largely concentrated in a few prominent stocks. Specific news was not assigned for the motive of the movement, general condi tions being relied on. to warrant the advance. Regard ea as a testing operation, yesterday's short sales and the slight effect which they produced in driving down prices or bringing out offerings of long slock were as influential factors In today's market as anything else. Attention was largely concentrated In Read ing. In which the professional operations cen tered. The prosperous condition of the an thracite traffic resulting In a high rate of earning, with promise of the future growth of dividend returns on the Mock, were the underlying causes for the buying. Various stocks, with immediate or remote prospects of dividend Increases, were taken up in the speculation. The spread of the influence of tho Reading movement was not rapid, and tome of the leading stocks on the list were sluggish and neglected through a greater part of the day. The Southwestern stocks did well. Including the Wabashes. but not including Mtsjourl Pacific, and the spread of the war for export grain as between the Atlantic and Gulf ports may have been an influence on that 'stock. The Pacifies came late Into the movement, in spite of very moderate Improve ments in December net earnings disclosed by the Harrlman lines. Southern Pacific actually falling below the December level of the pre ceding year. The 6am e was true of St, Paul. Pennsylvania's strong showing of December earnings helped the stock markot In tho early dealings, but it came forward later. The placidity of the money market drove the consideration of the gold export movement into the background, although there is every propect of its definite extension. All the great foreign banks published their weekly ruportH today. The flow of gold to Paris has resulted In only a small increase in the cold supply of the Bank of France for the week, and that Institution Is making no effort at retrenchment of credits, notwithstanding the .eagor demand to accumulate gold in Paris. The Bank of England showed a considerable increase in its proportion of reserves to lia b41ltls, but dlsoounts hardened in London and sterling roeo at Paris. There was practically no yielding In the sterling rate in this mar ket. The slightly irregular tone of stocks at the closing was due to light profit-taking on the day's advances. Bonds were firm; total sales $G,S75.000. United Stats bonds were all unchanged on call. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Ixd.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2. From the start severe cold and small receipts had a restraining In fluence on sellers in the wheat pit. In con sequence sentiment was not so bearish as might have been expected, considering the weakness of tbe Liverpool market. May opened at $1.16. but prices made a general advance in response to a fair demand from pit traders and commission houses. Ad vices from the Northwest were of a bullish tenor, a good demand for cash wheat being reported from Minneapolis. Flour sales at Minneapolis were also said to show a decided improvement, A reduction in freight rater, taking effect February 1, wa given as ono explanation for Increased shipments of flour today in the Northwest, Tho wheat market, as a result, assumed a stronger tone as the session progressed. Whlln there was appar ently some good selling at times, the demand throughout the day was of an influential character, offerings being -readily absorbed. For May the highest point of the session was reached at $1.17. The market closed almost at the top, final, quotations on May being at $1-1CT4. Com prices felt the stimulating influence of the severely cold weather. May opened a shade to lc lower at 44HQ44v:, and closed at the top. Covering by many traders who rold short caused firmness in the oats market. May closed lie up at ZVHc A much smaller Increase in contract stock than had been exected created some bullish ness in the provisions market. At the close May pork woj up 7fec.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2. The local spot market for all cereals except corn remained firm at full prices, but-trade was of a hand- to-mouth character. Wheat and barley op tions had a sharp decline, the bears being encouraged by the generous rains that visit ed all parts ot California. The close was steadier. W. W. Robinson, of Seattle, writes to a prominent house that the Government awarded him the contract for 4550 tons of oats, to be loaded at Seattle. Fecdstuffs were firm. Hay was dull, the only feature being the Oriental movement through one firm, which Is buying In the country and shipping as required. A brief lull In the storm caused more ac tivity in the fruit market, but the renewal ot rain at noon brought on dullness again. rour more carloads ot Northern apples of ordinary gradea added to the already exces sive stocks, making IS carloads for the first four days ot the week.- Dealers are cutting prices to work oft the surplus. Fancy apples are comparatively scarce and firm. Citrus fruits are moderately active and unchanged. Bananas are weak under large offerings. Receipts of potatoes were lighter, but the market was quiet and easy, except for fancy Burbanks. Four carloads of onions arrived. causing weakness. Hops are quiet, but steady.

I request xpace for the asking of a question which I hope one of our "Peerless Wise heads" In the Oregon Legislature will prompt ly answer to the at!-fact!on of a great many farmers, taxpayers, citizens and the common people generally, who. according to our In itiative and referendum, ought to have a say in regard to this very measure. The question Is this: How. In passing the hunters' license law compelling a license of 51 to be paid on guns. Is the Oregon Legislature and the Gov ernor, if he rfgns the WH. going to evade that part of the second amendment to the Consti tution of the United States which says that the "rlglst of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be Infringed?" Here Is a proposed measure that Is an out rage If imposed upon our people. It the- farmer. who must bear a large share of the tax which supports our public Institutions as well as our public burdens, must pay a license for the right to poseepa a weapon for tbe ex termination of pests which assail him. such as the coyote, which attacks his sheep: the hawk, which preys on hla chickens; the ground squir rel, which destroys his grain; If the citizen must pay a license for having a gun to guard his premises against the attacks of a burglar, thief or possible murderer; it a man who has lived In strict observance of the game law during the close season must pay a license for a shot or two during the open season, then what i our Legislature coming to? If they can pass over the clauso of our' Na tional Constitution giving the people the right to bear arms, why not pas over the clause guaranteeing freedom ot speech and compel a man to take out a license for the right to get out and call his cattle? If the common people, such as tho farmer, must sit back and smoke their pipes of peace and say nothing, but simply go and pay their share ot the ever Increasing burden of taxa tion, or let what they own go for delinquent taxes, without being secure in many of their simplest rights, then Is It any wonder that our country is drifting toward Socialism? If our fair state must maintain a Legisla ture in which the desire ot many of Its mem bers is to plunder the very pockets of the ieo ple who eupported them. In It any wonder that the situation is growing ominous? Is it any wonder that the smooth sailing that our country has just passed through and our present "peaceful drifting" seems to thoae who sit back tryhiS 'o observe tho fu ture as a calm before a storm?
