The stock marKei demonstrated again today in a striking man ner lt power of resistance agelnst adverse In fluences. The moat obvious of the Influence against the market was the discouraging con dition of the country's transportation discov ered by the weekly talk with trafflo Of ficlals. The?e reported a rondiUon of practical paraly s!a from storms and blockades on many lines east and west. A still further cut was made in the rates for ciport grain. The grow earn ings for the fcocood -werk of February abowofi already quite dearly the effect of these Influ ences. These were the cause of a halting and siHrvleh rerpoase to the first buoyant rise In Union Pacific. The next demonstration centered in the In dustrials and It was not until late In the day that the mllroad stocks e&ate up. Tha activ ity was largely congested In Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Ontario & Western and the United Stales Steer stocks, the total In which as run up quickly at the rate of 1000 to 10.000 fharcs In single blocks. All of the stocks connected with the Northern Securities ergor or with the supposed plan of read justment to folkwr the dissolution 01 me merger -were strong la sympathy, rsortnern Securities lUelf adding several points to its record price in the curb markets. The heavj buying of United States Steel after a period of comprehensive dormancy wis attributed to- banking interests near to the corporation ana the credit given to this supposition Induced other buying of the stock. Rumors of coining peace were received irem abroad ami the continued decline In exchange marked the culmination of the foreign demand for our gold. Call money here, however, -was firmer and there was Inclination among ex change houses to take out loan, with the re sult that a low was made In that department of the moaoy market. Te reports from u asn- Incton of a decision reached by the l'resKient not to press for railroad rate legislation at this settfelon of Coagreea was a factor in ine demand for tttocks among professional oper- tsre. The stock market took the late ream ing pretty well aad the close was firm, at the top level of the day. Bond were Irregular. Total saws, par vaiue. 35.Oe3.SO0.

By an ex-convlct, profeasedly q. reformed man and a Christian, have been muae charges against the officers of tho Ore gon penitentiary. John U Po3t, a younar man who served two terras in the Salem prison for forgery, has issued the book let In which he says: There's a hell over, over there," moan ing tho state capital. These booklets have not .been circulated in Portland, and "but'd fotv have" rdifched Salem, Tho members of the Oregon Prisoners' Aid Society, ana others in terested in the prisoners before and after they loft the striped suits have not seen copies. Several heard, however, that Post was working upon a book. A routine meeting of the society was held- yesterday in the rooms of the Concordia Clubhand the matter was informally brought to the attention of the members. Superintendent Jameu, of tho penltcn tlarv. knows the tenor of the charges, and" Chaplain EL W. St. Picrro was seek ing Post yesterday In. Portland". But the ex-convict has disappeared. Post had frequently told those inter ested In the prison work that ho bad been kindly treated and that he felt a high regard for Superintendent Jamet? These people were, therefore, surprised to learn that he had written such a book. For sev- oral weeks Post spent much time in writ ing this small volume, which, it in no lieved, he has privately offered for tle outside Portland. Ho has also written a book of poems which had a small sale. After Post left the penitentiary the last time he declared that he hud reformed for good, and tho members of the Prison ers' Aid Society took a special Interest In him. In prison, however, It is re-' ported that he spent most of his time in tho sick ward, ann apparently avoided all the work possible. - San Francisco Suicide Identified. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20.
