COAST IS NOW OVERLOADED Pari of the Supply Might Be "Worked OIT If a Txmer Rate Were Grant ed to Southwestern Points. Situation In California. Unless tiie markets In the Southwest ad vance materially or the railroads come to the relief of shippers In Oregon by grant Ins; a lower rate to the Southwest, there will he a larf-e part of this state's crop of potatoes unsold at the end of the season. It Is estimated that over 1.000.000 sacks re main unsold in Oregon. An outlet In Mis souri River territory. In Texas and the Southwest for perhaps half this quantity could he found If shipments could be made profitably, but this la not possible with the prevailing quotations In these sections and the freJpht rate as It Is. California Is no better off than Oregon, as about 1.000,000 sacks are still unsold there. With the stocks in other districts tributary to the Coast markets, there is a total available supply of fully 2.300.O0O sacks of potatoes, while the Coast requirements for the remainder of the season are placed at not to eiceed 1.000.000 sacks. Could tne shippers get Into the markets further East, It is probable a good portion of the surplus could be worked off, but whatever happens there is certain to be a great quantity of potatoes uncon sumed when the season comes to an end. Shipments of Oregon potatoes continue to he made. to San Francisco, but that market Is overstocked with California potatoes and the demand for Northern stock Is limited. The beaviest drag on the Bay City market is the enormous quantity of rivers available. By holding to their potato crop too long a largo number of growers in the river district have most of their yield still on hand, and are unable to dispose of It. It is estimated that there are 500,000 Backs still on the Islands and quite a lot In the Stockton warehouses, with but little prospect of se curing gohd prices. The market has slumped to about 50c a sack, and even at that low figure it Is next to Impossible to sell a largo quantity, and unless there la an im provement In the market thousands of sacks will not be dug this season. The growers have sold potatoes as htsn as $1.30 a sack, but miry of them believed they could se vere much better prices and held on to fheir crops until Colorado commenced to suirply the Southwest at low figures. The bulk of the trade has gone to Colorado, while California, which usually sells most of Its crop In those states, will be almost en.irely "cut out. Only a few cars are being shipped to Arizona and Southern California. DECTJVE IN T-OO MARKET IS STEADY Northern Buyers Holding Off for BtiU Lower Prices. The egg market is suffering from a com bination of larger receipts and smaller de mand. Quotations varied yesrterday, but most of the business, was reported done around 22 cents. City buying was of a hand-to-mouth character. Only a few small sales were made to Northern buyers. Seattle and Tacoma firms with an Alaska trade do not hestltats to say the market must get down to 20 cents before they will take hold. There was not much activity In the poul try market, as receipts were light. The de mand was principally for large, fat hens. Butter was quoted steady by the city crenmerles and en Front street, but It was predicted In some quarters that the next week or two would see a decline. BAXAXAa" COME IN GOOD COXDmON Supply of California Celery Will Be Light for Some Time. The only fresh produce receipts reported yesterday were two cars of bananas 'and one car of Kastcrn Oregon apples. The bananas were m good shape, one car be ing fairly green and the other ripe, but sound A car of mixed San Francisco veg etables Is due today and two cars of cauli flower are due Friday, celery is going to be scarce, as there is nothing worth shipping left In Southern California and the Jersey Island crop Is not yet matured. The demand for fruit, especially oranges, was brisk. Apples are in better supply and some very good Ben Davis were offered at tl per box. There were no new developments in the onton market, which was weak, but most of the growers still have firm ideas. HOP TRADING OX SMALL SCALE. Growers Willing to Contract, but Demand Is Light. Hop trading was on a limited scale and was principally between dealers. Farmers are showing more willingness to contract around 10 rnts, but there is not much de mand for futures. Of the New York country market, the lat est issue of the Waterville Times Rajs: There have been several good-sized lots of hops delivered here during the past week which were bought by local dealers. Knowles Bros., of Knoxboro, delivered a 42 bale lot here for which we understand they got l-Oc. The prices paid have been from 10 to 12 cents, most of the lots being small Bank Clearings.

BREAKS IN OTHER ISSUES Trouble Due to Heavy Obligations Maturing General List Ignores These Movements and the Close Is Very Strong. NE.W YORK, Feb. 19. The feature of the financial situation which was brought Into notice by the action of today's stock mar ket was the position er. corporations, es pecially railroads, iwith Important maturing obligations to meet, while the falling off in their earning power has encroached so far on the margin of surplus available for dis tribution as to seriously Impair the market standing of the securities. The 'Gould group was acutely affected by these considerations today and securities of other companies, whose position is believed to be analogous, showed the greatest sympathy. The degree of resistance shown by the general market, however, to the Influence or the demoralized break - in the Gould stocks was worthy of remark. In the early stages the contrary movement in Missouri Pacific was Ignored and prices elsewhere made some headway upwards, and there was a final rally to the best prices of the day. The rise was halted and a general reaction ensued, but It was moderate compared with the fall In the stocks most affected. The slumping tendency extended to some points in the bond market as well, where the same general causes were at work. Railroad companies very generally were forced last yea into temporary expedients for financing their requirements, and the rush of business at the time and the high cost of operation and all kinds of equip ment added materially to the urgency of these needs. It was assumed at an early stage of the banking crisis last Fall lhat in the revulsion to follow there would be such a piling up of cash in banking reserves as would lead to redundant money and assist in the refunding of the notes referred to as they might mature. But the event is prov ing that the falling off In business which released money from active circulation must be reckoned with also on the side of dimin ished earning power with, which to meet charges on borrowings. The steps now being taken toward re trenchment and economies of the railroads to meet the falling off In business offer one of the leading Bubjects of attention In the financial .world. Today there were reports of concerted action among Western railroad, companies looking toward a "reduction in wages on their systems. Fears of the strike troubles that may follow are ,an appreciable influence in the undertone of depression in, the securities market. Retrenchment and' economy,' however, cannot escape the obliga tion for expenditures already made, and the burden of such obligations was the point of emphasis In the lesson inculcated by the day's doings in stocks. A belief pre vailed that an aggravating cause of the ex- . treme depressfon shown by some stocks was the forced selling of them In the liqui dation of loans In which they figured as collateral, and which are now maturing. Recurring liquidation of this kind has been In evidence from time to time ever since the emergency terms which were forced on needy borrowers last Fall. Fears of such liquidation remaining to be completed are a damper on the demand for stocks. Reports of an intended receivership for Missouri Pacific, which were stimulated by the action of the stock, were denied by the head of the system. The stock sold as low as 28 14. Early In 1897, Missouri Pacific sold at 10. bnt a rise later in that year put it to an altitude above today's price, above which It was held, at varwlng -degrees, ever since. Western Union at 41. today's low price, was the low, record since 1S70. when It touched 30 i. Another decline In copper was an in cident of the day. Money on call went about 3 per cent for the first time in many days. Payment of a 20 per cent Installment of subscriptions to Canadian Pacific stock was a factor In the money market. Sterling exchange continued firm and kept alive discussion of a possible outward movement of gold at an early date. The closing tone for stocks was strong at the rebound. Bonds .were weak. Total sales, par value, $3,470,000. United States 4s advanced V4 per cent on call. CIOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. I.ow.

STRONG AT CLOSE Change in Sentiment in Chi- cago Wheat Pit. . PRICES START UPWARD Opening Dealings Show the Effect of the Severe Breaks in I)relgn Markets Weather in the Winter Wheat Belt. CHICAGO. Feb. 19. Wheat opened nearly one cent below the close of yesterday be cause or a severe break at Liverpool and 1n European markets and because of enormous offerings from Argentina. The heavy snow fall in the Middle West during the last 4S hours also weakened prices, it being claimed that the snow will provide ample moisture for the Fall-sown crop. Later, the selling became less urgent because of the proba bility that local receipts for the next few days will be greatly lessened by the severe storm. The close was firm. May opened M&la lower at 90 9Ic, advanced to 92V4C and closed at 92 V4 ra'92c. Corn followed wheat. May closed at 60X,e. Oats were weak In the early day along with wheat and corn.
