THE MORXINK ORRGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 21, 1906.
SUGAR IS CHEAP FJOW
Prices at Low Mark Because
of Refiners' War.
MARKETS ARE UNSETTLED
All-Around Decline of Ten Cents
- Per Hundred Yesterday.
Cane and Beet Sugar
Situation.
SUGAR Ten - cent decline In all
grade.
HOPS Dealers still buylns.
FRUIT Two ear of oranges re
ceived. rOVIVTRY No improvement In
chicken market.
KliOS Some dealers quote advance.
BUTTER Local stocks lighter.
Whatever is th cause of the trouble,
consumers are certainly getting cheap sugar
these days. The market took another drop
esterday of 10 cents per hundred all along
the line. This brings the price of dry
granulated sugar within cent per pound
(r the low mark of 18!2. In that year a
price of 4 ? cents was in effect from March
-1 to November 21. Beet augar Is now
polling even lower at ?4.70 per hundred
lut lucre was no beet on the market In
those duys. The special brands that have
lately been put on the market, such as
I'. C Star and C. C. sugars, which are
)rai tit a lly the same aa standard granu
lated, are, however, being offered at
o-nts a hundred below any price quote.l
heretofore In fourteen years. So the peo
ple who consume sugar certainly have no
complaint to make and hope that If a war
lias been Inaugurated between the rival
iTilneries, it may be a long time before
peace Is declared.
The large production of beet sugar all
over the world Is regarded as the basis of
the present unsettled condition in the sugar
market, but as the fluctuations are con
fined Just now to the Pacific Coast States,
It is evident that local conditions on the
v'oast have much to do with tne trouble
It appears to be a three-cornered flght
between the Alameda Sugar Rertnlng Com
pany, a beet sugar concern, the Western
Sugar Refining Company, and the Califor
nia & Hawaiian Retining Company. The
latter puts out no beet sugar, while Spreck
rls Company does, and it Is, therefore, tak
ing active steps to market, its cane sugar
in the face o the strong competition of
cheaper made be?t sugar. It "has the ad
vantage of the prejudice that still exists
in many sections against the beet product.
The bret sugar pe ople, on the other hand,
have economy in manufacture In their fa
vor. Thus, the struggle between the va
rious interests to maintain or build up
their trade nas completely upset the market
and put prices In buyers' favor. The time
w ill, of course, come when the warring
ugar makers will get tired of losing their
money and then there will be a readjust
ment In the list that will not be so picas
ant tor the consumers.
Jobbing prices iiuoted on sugar In the lo
cal market yesterday were as follows: Beet
fcugar, $4.70 per hundred pounds; Star, P.
C. and C. C, $4. SO; dry granulated fruit
and berry, $."; powdered, $5. in; cube, f 5.25;
Gulden C. 4.40; extra C, 94.30.

STOCKS CLOSE EASY
Rise in Call Money Rate
Checks Speculation.
CONDITION OF THE BANKS
Irregular Course of Prices In the
Active Ilst Rumors Play a
Large Part in the Day's
Movements. i
NEf YORK, Nov. 20. Th restraint of
the stiff rates for call loans was manifest
in the day's stock market. Its action sug
gested that the speculative demand would
have halted more completely had It not
been for the bracing effect of the sudden and
violent advances which occurred at different
times during the day in different stocks.
The special movements were unexplained
by authoritative news but there were plenty
of rumors of more or less plausible seem
ing. The six-point Jump In Illinois Central
was the most conspicuous example In this
class. The rumors had to do with the sup
posed relation of the property to the pro
ject working tut In regard to the St. Paul.
It was argued, on the one hand, that St.
Paul and Southern Pacific were to be brought
Into a more intimate relation by interchange
of stockholdings and that Illinois Central
was to figure as the holding company for the
merger property. Another rumor was that
urgent buying to perfect the control of Illi
nois Central. In view of the intended differ
ences in the company, was responsible for
the upward shoot in price.
The movement in L. & N. owed something
to sympathy on account of analogous condi
tions and the territory of the two roads.
There also were surmises on the possibility
of a dividend Increase for I.. & and its
pubsldiary companies shared in the strength,
llock Island was the subject of stories of an
acquisition of control of Colorado &. South
ern, which met with official disclaimers.
St. Paul was feverish and irregular, reacting
constantly from Its vigorous advances. One
or two of the Induttrial specialties made
similar spurts, notably General Electric and
People's Gas. The manner in which these
movements were conducted proved rather
conduclve-to sentiment and with their lack
of Influence in sustaining the market became
more marked as their number grew and
the absnce of Intelligible ground for the
movement became lemarked.
The money market was again tight. The
opening rate of 6 per cent soon gave way
to 7 per cent and yesterday's maximum of 0
per cent was touched and passed early in the
afternoon. As known conditions seem to be
moving in favor of the banking position,
this sensitiveness of the market to the de
mands for the speculation proved disturb
ing. New York exchange at Chicago rose
to 20 cents premium per $1000, marking the
continued flow of funds towards this center.
The reports of conditions of banks in other
cities in response to the Controller's call as
of November 12, are pursued with Inter
est and tend to show the general expansion
of credits and low state of reserves sus
tained in comparison with the showing
under the previous call In ' August. A bad
Impression was caused by the engagement
of upwards of $2,800,000 in London to be
withdrawn from the Bank of England for
shipment to Brazil and Argentina. The
demand from Brazil is due to prospective
monetary legislation dealing with the ex
change value of the currency. Hopes have
been expressed that Iondon would be able
to escape this requirement, which was not.
however, entirely unforseen. The matter
constitutes one of the numerous influences
in the delicate balance of factors on which
depends the ability of the Bank of England
to get through to the New Year without ad
vancing Its discount rate. Sterling exchange
was easier here in response to the higher
money rates. The tone was firmer in the
time monoy market also. The day's gains
were much impaired or entirely wiped out
with the rise to 10 per cent In money and
the closing was easy -wiCn a maximum of
net losses.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,746,000. United States old 4s reg
istered, declined H per cent on call.

DAY'S NEWS IS BULLISH
In Spite of Favorable Factors Prices
Are Barely Maintained at the
Close of the Session of
the Chicago Pit.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Despite an array of
bullish news, sentiment In the wheat pit
was bearish for the greater part of the day.
Local holders were sellers of December and
commission houses and elevator interests
made extensive changes from the December
to the May option. During the first half
hour the market was firm because of the
unusually small receipts of wheat at Min
neapolis and Duluth. The demand which
came out by this news was soon satisfied,
however, and with the selling pressure on
the December option, prices gradually eased
off. Among the chief items of the bullish
character were a decrease of 660,000 bushels
In the world's visible supply, as shown by
Bradstreets, and an urgent demand for cash
wheat at Minneapolis. This Information
caused some covering by local shorts late
In the day and resalted In a recovery of
almost all of the early loss. The only fac
tor of bearish importance was an estimate
which 'placed the Australian wheat crop
about 22.000,000 bushels greater than last
year. The market closed steady. December
opened unchanged to a shade lower at 73
to 7374c. sold off to 73p73c and
closed a shade lower at 7314c.
The corn market held steady, despite sell
ing of the December option by longs and
elevator interests. December opened un
changed to c higher at 42c to 42c, sold
off to 41 c and closed off c at 42c.
Sentiment in the oats pit was bearish
because of an increase of 2O.00 bushels in
local contract stocks and because of stead
ily increasing receipts. December opened
unchanged to a shade lower at 33c to 33
''-!.i;4c. sold off to 33c and closed c
down at 33e:t3c.
The provisions market was easy early In
the day because of a weak market for live
"nogs, but It became firm later on buying
by commission houses and shorts, whlrh
was based upon a decrease of 35.000 hogs
at Western packing centers compared with
the corresponding day last year. At the
close January pork was up 12c, lard was
2c higher and ribs were 7i!Oc higher.

wools running to three-eighths and half
blood grades. This is particularly noticea
ble in territories and fleeces. Attention is
now being paid to clothing wools. Pulled
wools are steady. Individual transactions in
territories touch the 300.000-pound mark.
Foreign grades are firm. Quotations:

DOANE ON DIVORCE EVIL
Episcopal Bifiiiop Says Church
Should Take Determined Stand.
ALBANY, N. Y.. Nov. 20. The 38th an
nual convention of the Protestant Epis
copal Diocese of Albany convened In A.t
Saints' Cathedral in this city today. The
feature of principal public interest waa
the address of Right Rev. .. illiani Cros
well Doane, who, from the foundation of
the diocese, has been its bisuop. His'
widely known Interest In the subject of
marriage and divorce was again displayed
by his earnest references to that sut
ject, in the course of which, after allud
ing wK.i approval to the meeting at Phil
adelphia to the Congress 011 Uniform Di
vorce Laws, at which he was present, ho
said in part:
"Whatever result is to be attained in
dealing with this most important ques
tion depends upon three things. In the
first place, what legislative action can bo
secured to correct the methods of pro
cedure. In the next . place what pres
sure can be brought to bear by people
who really control and govern what Is
called society, and. in the next place,
by the positive and definite outspoken
ness of the churches. And I am increas
ingly hopeful and anxious that this
church shall take the lead In a strong
and definite position as to our relation at
any rate to the question of the remar
riage of divorced persons.
"Until six years ago, our canons quietly
treated as possible the remarriage of the
so-called innocent party to a divorce,
with much confusion in the details of Its
language. Three years ago the church
made It different. But this is really not
.eaiing either frankly or fairly with the
demand for relief.
"Weary of the discussion, and content
to feel that the new canon makes remar
riage more difficult, there is a tendency
and temptation to let the sleepihg dog
He, but the trouble is that this dog is not
asleep. I cannot believe that the church
ought to be content with a canon that
really expresses nobody's honest convic
tions, it casts a slur and a shadow uion
a marriage which some people think dis
tinctly permitted by our Lord, and it
forces the hand, to a degree, of those of
us who think otherwise. If it is right, it
ousht not to be hedged in with diffi
culties. If it is wrong. It ought to be
Impossible. Let us wash our hands of
the whole business. Let the state which
separates unite, and without elaborations
of detail or definitions of discipline let
us simply forbid the clergy to give tha
church's benediction 10 any such mar
riage. "All the while some statement Is ap
pearing in the newspaper reports of the)
wholesale manufacture of divorces some
where, and every now and then, from the
comparative obscurity of many of the
cases, one lifts up its ugly nead into con
spicuous disgrace, because of the social
position or the wealth of the parties.
The Christian pulpit ought to call this
thing by its right name until those who
hoid to moral standards shall recognize
the wrong and refuse to recognize the
wrong-doers flaunting their sin before
the worm."
I'pon the reading of the Bible and tho
teachings of the church:
"The Bible Is largely an unread and
unitnown book to children, and to people
of middle age. The misuse and the mis
understanding of criticism U responsible
for this in no slight degree."
