of 5 per cant for tho quarter, and bank clear

Butter, Eggs. Poultry, Etc.
It Is harder than ever to arrive at exact
values In the butter market. Quotations on
state brands of fancy creamery are made
at 2a 22 and 24 cents, and but little more
moves at the lowest than at the highest
price. Some selling was reported at 19 cents,
but this could not be confirmed. California
butter is tlll quoted at 22V coots, as the
agent of the leading firm has not yet been
authorized to meet local prices, probably be
cause the San Francisco, market Is Improv
ing. Portland-made brands are quoted weak
at 25fT27V cent. One- creamery contemplates
a '5-cent drop next week. The Puget Sound
demand has been checked by the decline
there. Seattle now being on a 23-oent basis.
The o?g market la in better shape than 11
has been for several weeks. A large Seattle
buyer was In the city yesterday and placed
an order for 1000 cases, which he will ship
to Alaska. This Improved conditions here
by- outtlng down tho accumulation and the
market closed in good shape at 16 cents. A
few coops of chickens came in and were
readily taken up at top prices.

about the day's operations was tho enormous
congestion in the few stocks immediately
affected by the current rumors, especially
Union Pacific. SU Paul. New York Central and
on the curb market. Northern Securities,
which oM up to $1.S0, thus justifying pre
dictions whleh have been current among street
speculative operators for sometime, but with
out obtatalng general credence.
The rumors to account for the advance
were many and various, and for the most
part exceedingly vague. .-The capitalization of
enormous values discovered In Iron ore lands
In possession of the Great Northern Company
had a good influence, on that stock. Great
Northern preferred sold up to 333. It was
argued that the Iron ore lands would greatly
enrich the Northern Securities Company. As
a large proportion of this distribution will
fall to the Union Pacific treasury, that stock
was held to be entitled to a corresponding
advance, but with the excitement in the
market this explanation was deemed Inade
quate and surmise fell back on the supposed
ues to which the Union Pacific preferred
stock, is to be put. The stories are as entirely
without ofllclal authority or admission to
day as at any time. The palpable fact, how
ever, was that almost unlimited amounts of
the stocks most noarly concerned paired con
stantly through the market all day. and the
absorptive power for them seemed Insatiable.
The volume of transactions and the move
ment of prices In the general railroad Het
was moderate and the extent of the price
movement was -found on careful scrutiny not
to be very wide.
In the industrial department the most promi
nent high-grade Industrial, especially United
States Steel preferred, were Inclined to move
narrowly. Of industrials of a minor class,
.however, there is a long list which made
advances during the day of all the way from
1 to 3 and 4 points. The brilliant conditions,
shown to cxbrt in the Iron and steel trade by
the Mattatlcs of production and consumption
have served to give great authority to the
Incoming reports of highly prosperous collec
tions In all departments of trade. The favor
ehown to the Industrial stocks Increases ac
cordingly. It lr. round easy to effect move
ments by formation of pools In many of these
stocks, and it Is not unusual for the rise to
be horalded by some such anaouncement as
that arrangements have been made for a
sharp upward movement In this stock or
or that stock. The movement Is pretty sure
to follow. Operations of this clas. however,
do not. tend to fortify confidence in the market.
The currency movomont for the week gave
promise of a good cash gain by the banks
and oCered no obstacle to the maintenance
of the speculation. The lrregtliar closing left
prices not far below the best of the day.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par val
ue, $4,475,0uo. United States bonds were all
unchanged en call.

higher, at SI.IfKtfZMTtt. Tho initial strength
was due primarily to higher prices at Liver
pool, but cold weather, accompanied by snow
in the Northwest, was an offset to unfavor
able weather In the Northwest. Reports from
the Southwest told or rains In sections of tho
Winter wheat belt where moisture was great
ly needed. Another factor that helped to
create a bearish sentiment was an Increaee
In shipments from Argentina. Soon after the
opening a leading long began to sell mod
erately. Pit traders followed. The result was
the weakening of tho market. As trading'
progressed prices continued to decline. Fresh
Impetus was given the declining tendency by
a sharp break In prices at Minneapolis. Ad
vices regarding the condition of. Winter, wheat
were conflicting, but thoe of a bearish char
acter seemed to predominate. A St. Louis
trade journal reported conditions In the
wheat belt favorable and above the average
for this time of year. May delivery to un

closing price for May was at the lowest point
of the day. $1.14. July, after selling down
to 87Kc. closed easy at S7?ic.
Liquidation by several local long caused
weakness in the corn market. The decline
In wheat was largely responsible for the
selling pressure. Lower prices for cash' corn
had some Influence. July opened a shade to

More Activity Is Shown in Grain Options
on the Local Board.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 14. (Special.)
Grain options showed a little more activity
on the local board, with prices inclined to
be easy. Spot values for all cereals were
heavy, but unchanged. Offerings of Eastern
barley tend to keep that market weak. The
big lot of Northern oats, ex steamer Olympla.
is Mill on the seawall, and Is a menace to
that grain. The trade Is being supplied from
this lot at $1.46 $1.47'.? In quantities to
suit.
Grain vessels for future loading are In de
mand and strongly held. Good crop pros
pects and tho comparatively small amount of
tonnage on the way favor higher rates for
ships.
Receipts of oranges are greatly decreased,
as the East Is drawing heavily on the grow
ing districts. The market Is well cleaned
up and Arm on all grades. Only two car
loads of naw.ls were auctioned. Choice
brought $11.C0. and standard S5ct?$1.45. No
fancy were In the offering. Ripe bananas are
over plentiful.
Selected old potatoes are very Arm. Fancy

The steamer Oregon commenced discharging

two lots that came off sold at $1.50. The mar

SHE DEFENDS DIV0KCE LAW
Mis3 Anthony Call3 It Refuge From
Brutal Husbands.
WASHINGTON. April li.-Over the bit
ter protest of 3Iiss Susan B. Anthony, the
National Council of Women today adopted
a resolution pledging the organization to
co-operate with church and state to ascer
tain what are the chief cause? which in
duce or lead up to divorce.
"I do not consider divorce an evil by any
rnean3," asserted Miss Anthony, who was
on her feet before the reading: of the reso
lution had been concluded. "It: Is just as
much a refuge for women married to
brutal men as Canada was once for slaves
fleeing from brutal masters. I will never
vote for a resolution that will cut women
off from refuge from designing and
brutal men."
The Council adopted formally the anti
polygamy resolution, also a resolution de
ploring the horrors of war in general and
particularly the present war in the Far
East. The Council pledged itself through
resolution to establish and maintain kin
dergartens and day nurstries for the
poorer classes of colored children.
A final meeting tonight was addressed
by a half dozen of the delegates, and the
Council adjourned to meet in Washington
three years hence.
