MEATS Veal scarce on Front street.
The predictions made by Jobbers that
ftugar prices would soon advance were veri
fied yesterday, wnen the markets all along
the Coast moved up sharply. Cane sugar
quotations were advanced 13 cents, and the
beet refiners put their prices up -5 cents.
This action by the beet men reduces the
differential between cane and beet sugar to
20 cents, at which it formerly etood. This
Indicates that normal conditions are being
restored in the trade, and, with the strong
underlying position of the market, the
prospects are that the upward movement
now under way will' continue.
The increased buying of the past few
days showed that buyers were convinced
that prices had touched the lowest level for
the season. The future action of the mar
ket is, of course, known only to the re
finers, but speculators are so convined that
an era of high prices l.s In sight that they
are backing t'neir judgment with liberal
purchases.
The opinion prevails in many quarters that
the first of the year will sec an agreement
of some kind in force between the rival
sugar interests of California. If this comes
about, there will be a readjustment of val
ues that will give consumers an opportu
nity to reimburse the sugar-makers for
some or all of the loss they have sustained
In this season's war. Yesterday's advance
may mark the beginning o this deal.
ADVANCE IX CITY BUTTER PRICE.
Market Goes to 35 Cents Today All Other
Markets High.
The announcement is made by one. of the
Portland creameries that its price will be
advanced thin morning 2 ents to itr cents
on top grade. The othr local companies are
exp-rctcd to be in line with the advanun.
Butter at this time" a year ago was quoted
at ;0 cents and on December 13 advanced
to ul'1,; cents, which was the. highest price
of the year.
The present advance is not only due to
the decreased supply of cream and the
active demand, but more than anything else
to the fact that 'all other markets are higher.
The Puget Sound markets for several days
have stood at 3r. cents and the result has
been a drain on Portland to supply the trade
there. This has caused stocks in some of
the local creameries to run very low. East
ern markets are high and advancing. Chi
cago Is now at 30 cents, as compared with
cents at this time last year. The
California market Is also- higher, the San
Francisco quotation yesterday being Ii6 cents,
as against 29 cents on the same date last
year.
The Front street butter market continues
very firm, with receipts from the country
gradually declining.
EASTERN EGG MARKET IS FIRMER.
Some of the Large Sellers Said to Be Can
celing Orders.
Receipts of poultry were only fair yester
day. The demand continued strong, es
pecially for chickens, on which top prices
were realized.
There was no change in the egg market,
beyond a firmer tone in Eastern eggs, which
foreshadows an advance in price. Wires
from the East quoted stiff cr markets there
and some of the large sellers have can
celed orders except on contracts. A big cold
storage house at Denver, which does a busi
ness of 800 cars, was reported to be entirely
out of eggs.
Wheat Market Dragging.
Some Improvement is noticed , in the
movement of wheat from the Interior to
tidewater, but the lack of cars is still so
apparent that the market Is of a dragging
character. Prices yesterday were steady,
with but little change.
Bananas in Fine Condition.
The four cars of overdue bananas were
delivered yesterday and proved to be in fine
condition. Two cars of sweet potatoes also
aTrrlved. Mistletoe is beginning to come in
freely and is nowf quoted at 10 12 ft cents
per pound.
Local Hop Market Quiet. .
The local hop trade was more interested
yesterday In the car shortage meeting than
In the market. The only deal reported dur
ing the day was the purchase by H. L.
Bents of an 80-bale lot from a Portland
dealer at 12 cents.
I
Scarcity of Veal.
There is a scarcity' of veal on Front street
and with a strong demand dealers could
handle much larger supplies. Hogs are
coming In more freely; but so far are hold
ing fairly steady.
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearances of the loading cities of
the Northwest yesterday were:

STOCKS HOLD WELL
Stubborn Resistance Shown to
Money Stringency.
HARD FOR SPECULATORS
Recovery of Early Declines Follows
Appearance of Annual Report
of Secretary of Treasury.
Relief Is Expected.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5. The stock market
struggled witn the money stringency-today,
but reflected clearly the dlrfflulties of the
situation for speculators who are carrying
stocks with borrowed money. Loans were
called from time to time on a large scale
by tho banks to reduce their deposit lia
bilities because of the heavy drains ttiat
were making on their cash reserves. Oc
casional liquidation was forced by tnis pro
cess. The 'appearance of teh annual report
of tiio Serretary of the 'Treasury was
the signal for a comprehensive recovery of
declines leading to a halt in the market at
about last night's level. .The recovery was
based on the assumption that the Secretary
stood ready to take steps to relieve the
money stringency- in accqrdance with the
strongly expressed views in the annual re
port of the duty incumbent upon him to de
posit In the banks as much as can possibly
be spared of surplus funds in the Treasury
if business conditions require It, "thougil it
becomes necessary to pay the current ex
penses of the Government with checks on
depository banks." But. while this language
was accepted as an" earnest of early action
for the relief of the money market, the re
lief was not announced, and the calling in
of loans was an actual situation.
Tne fact that money conditions abroad
also began to tighten agan was regarded
as an additional factor in favor of proba
ble action "by the Treasury Department, as
the Secretary was almost as empahtic on
the necessity of aiding to prevent hurtful
stringency abroad as at home. Much in
terest attached to .the passage in the re
port which said: "The United States can
ill afford to disturb hnancial conditions in
Europe, and, if necessary to prevent It, the
present head of the Treasury would not hes
itate to make deposits in National banks on
condition that the banks In turn deposit
an equal amount abroad." x
This was interpreted as an announce
ment that the benevolent attitude of the
Treasury Department towards the import
of gold might be conversely exercised on
occasion towards the export of gold. That
the course of money In New York and the
resultant effect on the exchanges has been
tending towards the further withdrawal of
gold from London is the fear of t.ie London
market, and this Is regarded as precluding
only relaxation in the money situation in
London before the end of the year.
Not only is currency going from New
York to San Francisco to move the fruit
crop and to New Orleans to move the cotton
crop, but the drop in New York exchange at
Chicago to a discount again marks a recur
rence of demand from the West, in spite of
the high ruling rates for monoy in this
market. Customs collections are running
very large,- the Government receipts In New
York from that source yesterday amounting
to $1.2S!l.05. The loss of the banks on
Suhtreasury operations since the last bank
statement now amounts to $5.034. 0O0. The
action of tile banks in oalling loans needs no
further elucidation.
New York Central was temporarily strong
on the increase in the dividend rate, which
conformed to -'expectations. Intimations of
additional capital issues by Atchison and
Norfolk & Western foreshadowed the fu
ture requiroMifinls from this cause on the
money market, which are -expected to grow.
The urgency with which new capital con
tinues to be sought in spite of the diffi
culties of the money market gives an im
pression of undiminished 'confidence in the
permanency of the needs -which are sought
to be supplied. The effect is to confirm
hopeful sentiment over the outlook for val
ues. -"This sentiment was apparent. In fact,
in the stubborn manner In which stocks
yielded to the money market inconve
niences. The dull and obstinate Resistance
was shown up to the closing. The 32 per
cent call loan rate is the highest since the
first week in September, when money went
to 40 per cent and the banks reported a
deficit at the end of the week.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,050,000. United states 4s regis
tered advanced 14 per cent on call.

BREAK IN GOLD FIELD STOCKS.
San Franciftco Investors Believe They Will
Get Stocks Cheaper. N
SAN FRANCISCO, Cat, Dec. S. (Special.)
-.Tne market started to sag at the begin
ning and only partially recovered when
Graat Bend, under heavy selling, broke -0
points to 107, and the influence was not
counteracted at the end of the Gold field
call.
The feeling among the local investors and
traders - is that they will get tne stocks
cheaper than they are now, and they only
put out am order when the opportunities
straggle along. The disposition to carry
stocks on too small a margin also has a de
pressing tendency on 'the general market.
Much talk Is heard of the possibilities of
new districts, and many Investors are watt
ing for new syndicate- issues at low figures.
