THE .MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1906. 13
WHEATBIIYINGSLOW
Dock Strike May Stop Local
Trade Entirely.
EXPORTERS WILL QUIT
Much Vnderlylnjr Strength of the
Market, hut Xo Inducement to
Do Business Until Ques
tion Is Settled.
The effect of the gralnhandlers' strike is be
ginning to snow itself in the local wheat mar
ket. Business has fallen off In the last two
days to a considerable degree and la likely
to cease entirely in a short time unless the
labor controversy Is ended. Exporters are not
Inclined to take on supplies for shipment from
this port In view of the unsettled conditions.
Millers are not buying now. In the absence
of export demand, and as there Is no wheat
going to California and' will be no soecial
movement In that line before the first of the
year, it Is evident that trading must come
to an entire stop and the shipping of wheat
to this point cease until dock matters are
straightened out.
The striko is unfortunate at this time, as
conditions are such that the farmers could
sell now to sood advantage if the exporters
were able to handle their wheat. The mar
kets have been good for some time pact and
yesterday were particularly favorable. Aside
from the advances at Chicago and San Fran
cisco, the foreign markets were higher. De
cember wheat at Liverpool opened at Ga 4d
and closed at 6s 5Vid, and EngliFh country
markets were quoted 6d dearer. French coun
try markets were firm. London cables re
ported Walla Walla cargoes steady at 20a Od.
' VALORIZATION PLAN ARRANGED. N
Brazil's Coffee Scheme Goes Through, and
Higher Trices Will Result.
Telegrams were received from New York
yesterday stating that the financing of the
Brazilian coffee valorization scheme had been
arranged. This will undoubtedly mean higher
prices for coffee.
Bankers of New York and Europe have
agreed to advance the money needed, about
$20,000,000. The object of the plan is to
maintain coffee at a remunerative price to the
grower by establishing a minimum quotation
at- which It is to be upheld by purchasers of
coffee on account of the three coffeo states
of Brazil. Interest on the loans made is
guaranteed and paid by a tax on every bag of
coffee shipped. The contracting states bind
themselves to maintain in the native markets
a minimum price of 32 to M milreis pen, bag
of 60 kilos for the first year. This price is
to bo gradually raised after the first year to
a . maximum of 40 mllrels. The exportation
of inferior coffees will be discouraged and
the extension of acreage prevented in 1007
and 190S.
Poultry Market Weak.
The poultry market apparently Is on the
verge of a general break. Some dealers low
ered 'their quotations 1 cent yesterday and
an all-around decline can be looked for If to-,
day's receipts are heavy.
The city creameries quote the butter market
firm, but the feeling on FTont street is ea3.
Eome cold-storage butter Is being shipped to
California.
Fruit Supply Delayed.
The fruit supply ran low yesterday, as the
Southern express was delayed. Grapes only
were plentiful. Heavy arrivals of potatoes
have caused weaker prices. A car of sweet
potatoes arrived last night.

CHECKS THE RISE
Stocks are Unsettled by Exag
gerated Storm News.
GREAT CALAMITY FEARED
Subsidence of Political Discussion.
Early Requirements of Money
Market Expected to Be of
Temporary Effect.-
NEW YORK, Sept. 17. The currents of the
stock market shifted as constantly today as
yesterday and speculative sentiment seemed
to undergo the same vacillations during the
day. The .effective efforts on the etde of
higher prices practically ended after the
shock caused by the alarmist rumors regard
ing the extent of the harm done by the storm
in the Southern States, although there was a
temporary recovery after it was learned how
far the early rumors were exaggerated. As
these rumors pointed to the annihilation of
the City of New Orleans and almost a repe
tition of the San Francisco calamity, the effect
on prices of stocks was natural when the
results following the San Francisco catas
trophe were remembered. There were some
misgivings over the effect on the cotton crop.
The advance in prices was largely ln sym
pathy with the whipping up of Reading. There
was some subsidence of political discussion
with the adjournment of the New York party
conventions until late in the day. The late
bear drive against the market was accom
panied with professions of anxiety over the
possible disturbing effect upon business con
fidence of an active campaign waged along the
lines indicated by the political outlook.
Fears of a pinch in the money market also
played a part in the pressure on the market.
The largest requirements to be met on October
1 are expected to be of temporary effect and
of a kind to find their way back at an early
day into the channels of the money market.
It is pointed out, however, that large maturi
ties of time loans occur during October, es
pecially in the form of finance bills placed
with foreigners and the open discrimination
lately exercised by foreign money lenders
agair.st American borrowers raised the- pos
s.bility of difficulties to be met In renewing
thetje bills in case of need.
A gold, engagement of $1,500,0000 was re
ported. - A good Impression was produced by
the Bank of England authorities refraining
from advancing Its official discount rate, but
the weekly statement shows a material weak
ness, both by loss of bullion and increases
of loans. The Bank of France also showed a
loss of J.3,335,000 in gold and an expansion of
$20,000,000 in outstanding loans. The sterling
exchange rate at Paris declined ln consonance
with this showing. The tone of the call
money market was hard but showed no dis
turbance. The considerable rally at the last was due
to covering of short contracts by the bears.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,778,000. United States .bonds were
unchanged on call.

DRIVEN TO COVER
Active Buying by Shorts Gives
Wheat an Upturn.
CHICAGO MARKET BULLISH
Influenced at the Start by Strength
of Uverpool Prices Good De
mand for Cash Wheat Also
Stimulates Speculation.
CHICAGO. Sept. 27. Sentiment in the wheat
pit was inclined to bullishness all day. At the
start, the market was influenced by compara
tive strength of the wheat market at Liver
pool, where prices showed moderate gains.
Trading during the first part of the session
was quiet. During the second hour, however,
more animation was manifested and the mar
ket became strong. The upturn was due
largely to covering by shorts, who became
alarmed by the active buying of leading com
mission houses. A good demand for cash
wheat also helped to stimulate the buying of
options. The market closed strong. December
opened unchanged to c higher at 7575c.
sold up to 76c and closed c up at 75.
December corn closed a shade lower at
43843c.
December oats closed t&f??c off at 34.

BANNER DAY FOR DIVORCES
. -
Three Mismated Couples Ask Relief
From State Circuit Court.
Testerday was a g:ala day for divorces
In the State Circuit Court, no less than
three unhappy couples having asked for
a severance of the ties that 'have ap
parently failed to bind.
Gertrude May Max Meyer sued her
husband Louis Richard Max Meyer for a
divorce on the ground of desertion. He
Is proprietor of the Art Emporium at 348
Alder street, from which it is alleged he
derives a monthly income of $150, and
she asked $50 a month alimony ln con
sequence. Mrs. Max Meyer recites ln her com
plaint that herself and defendant were
married here December 28, 18S6, and that
for a long time prior to August 1 of this
year they, resided at 349 Jackson street,
in this city. On that 'date the defendant
is alleged to have deserted her without
cause, and has since refused to return or
contribute to the support of the four
minor children. Waldemar Max Meyer,
aged 16; Bernhardt Max Meyer, aged 14;
Olive Julia Max Meyer, aged 11, and
Geraldine Max Meyer, aged 7.
Plaintiff claims that she is entirely
without means of support, and will soon
be compelled to live upon charity of
friends if defendant is not required to
contribute to her support.
Hayes and Brand are her attorneys.
Annie Henry commenced an action
against James Henry, asking for the
severance of the bonds of matrimony ex
isting between them. The couple were
married at Astoria on August 24, 1S99.
Plaintiff sets up in her complaint that
within a few months after marriage her
husband began to treat her in a cruel
and inhuman manner, and has been guilty
of personal Indignities to the plaintiff
rendering her life burdensome and
causing great and severe injuries to her
health, by cursing her and calling her
vile and vulgar names, besides threaten
ing to kill her.
She avers further that since February
of this year she has lived apart from the
defendant, who has refused to support
her, although he is able-bodied and earns
good wages, and has found it necessary
to work and support herself and three
children by a former marriage. The de
fendant is at present engaged ln salmon
fishing at Astoria. J. F. Watts is plain
tiff's attorney.
May Hanauer brought suit for divorce
against Julius Hanauer .alleging deser
tion. The couple were married ln March.
1904. at Lewlston, Idaho, and came to
Roseburg, Or., July 1 of that year. Two
weeks later he left her, since when they
have not lived together, although, ac
cording to her complaint, she had treated
him with kindness and affection. She has
been residing at Roseburg ever since,
while lt is understood her husband is
somewhere in British Coulumbia. There
are no children. Coshow and Rice, of
Roseburg, are the attorneys for Mrs.
Hanauer.
Known as "Menzles" M. E. Church.
The new Methoaist Episcopal Church
at Gresham will probably be called "The
Menzles Memorial Church" in honor of
"Grandma" Menzles, who for many years
was a member of the congregation. Her
two sons. Will and Joseph Menzles, have
subscribed $500 to the building fund.
These are the largest individual subscrip
tions received. Other subscribers are:
Mrs. Unneman, $300; Mrs. J. X. Regner,
$100; Dr. J. M. Short. $50, and A large
number of other persons have donated
$35 each. In addition to these sums, the
Church Extension Society has given $500.
Several memorial windows have been
subscribed for by relatives of deceased
members, and the Sunday school classes
of the church. The bell for the new
church will be given by a well-known
family clan of the East Side in mem
ory of their members who have passed
away.
When the Church Is) completed, which
will be In about six weeks. Its cost will
be approximately $4000, and lt will be
dedicated free from debt
