OUTLOOK FAR FROM GOOD Failure of Big New York Drug Firm Is Likely to Throw Large Quantity of This Article on the Market. The otitioou for th casrara hartc market la not rod. Trat tia ben nearly stag nant for several months, with prices tend inis downward, and the Indication are that tha situation will be even worse in the future, owing to the failure of one of the largest' handlers of this commodity In the world. The Mailman Fulton Company, a wholesale drug firm of New York, with brnnrh,! In Chicago and London, assigned Tmi days ago. . The failure was precipitated by the sudden death of Mr. Htallman. Im mediately following the failure, cables an nounced that. London brokers had offered Jin tons of bark on the London market at SO, eoulvalent to 5 cents a pound here. This lot was believed to be a part of the holdings of the Stallman & Fulton Com pany, and the fear was expressed that the receiver fnr the company might force on the American market the New York hold ings of the firm, which are supposed to be large. Such action would absolutely swamp a market already demoralized. t'ascara bark was one of the first com modities to feel the effect of the trade depression In the East. The market, how ever, had not been active for several years, though a number of times speculators thouKht the demand was on. the point of revl Ing. Statistics In this connection, however, proved misleading, for the manu facturers .succeeded in getting along with out what ! was" thought to be their annual requirements. it may be they found a cheaper substitute, but It in more than likely that the trade has overestimated the demand. Some 4V tons of bark of various ages are held on the Coast by dealers and spec ulators and the - supply bids fair to be further increased thia year. Advices from different points In the cascara sagrada section are that preparations are being made to peel a larger quantity than was brought out lant year, owing to the fact that labor Is more plentiful, but It will, without doubt, prove an unprofitable har vest for the peelers. BUYING HOPS FOB LONDON ACCOUNT No BoslneM Reported for th Ewitrii Trade. Buying of hops on a fairly good scale is under way. but nearly nil the purchases are on fore tan account.

Pom Shipments friild to Hnve Reached Minneapolis Market. The latest issue of the Chicago TaVker contain? a dispatch from Minneapolis to the effect that hlpments of Oregon po tatoes have. Invaded that market and are bring sold at a profit, owing to the high prices quoted on Minnesota stock. Noth ing Is known here of any shipments from Oregon to Minnesota, and It Is presumed the story refers to some small lots shipped from Eastern Oregon, probably on con signment. With the prevailing freight rate it la Impossible to ship valley potatoes so far east and make a profit. The onion market continues quiet, but firm. Some business at $2.40 was reported yesterday. A number of cars have been shipped South In tne last few days, but they were onions purchased previously. Prices are well maintained at Pan Fran cisco, but the northern markets have suf ficient stock to last until Bermudas arrive. STRONGER DEMAND FOR OATS IN EAST. Tea Thousand Tons Sold In Eastern Wash ington for shipment. The wheat market was firm yesterday at the previous day's prices. Business was not on an active scale because of the unwilling ness of farmers to part with their holdings.. A ftrmer feeling prevails in the oats mar ket as a result of the Eastern demand. It Is reported that 10.000 tone of Eastern Washington oats have been sold for ship ment to the East. This materially cuts down the supply In that section and has caused an advance in quotations here, though the local feed demand shows no improvement. The California Inquiry Is ale unsatisfactory. 1 barley market con tinues quint. Strong Demand for INmltry. Receipts of poultry were more Hberal than usual yesterday, but the supply was not sufficient for requirements and the market held very firm. Eggs werequoted steady, wlih most sales around IS cents. A good northern demand prevents local stocks from accumulating. The butter market was steady and un changed. Bank Cleekring. CUarlngs of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Cleartngs.

T BE Stock Prices Will Not Go Up or Down. , ' DEMAND IS PARALYZED Nor Is There any Selling Pressure In the Market Trading in the Hands of a Few Professionals. NEW YORK. March 4. The small circle of professional traders whose operations now make up the score of daily transac tions in the stock market struggled in vain today to effect any considerable movement. They were hard pu?hed to And arguments as a 'normal explanation of their operations. The day was praottcajly barren of price movements or news of any interest. Not withstanding the almost total paralysis of the demand for securities, the bear traders find no important offerings coming out to afford them opuortunlty to cover short con tracts. Evidence of revival of Industry and re cuperation of business was not regarded as clear enough to warrant operations today. The reduction of the dividend on Calumet Hecla stock and on a minor copper com pany naa a dlt-couracing effect on holders of the 'copper industrials. Another reduc tion in the price of copper in Iondon today was another factor tn the same direction. The selling of Union Pacific was under sus picion of coming from 'a well-informed source, and the traders were encouraged to Join in the selling, only to And the stock In scarce supply when they attemnted to cover. There was continued discTMision of the amount of unfriendly criticism and hostile measures directed against the finan cial centers and the speculative markets, and there was a disposition to ascribe to this much of the profound dullness which has now overtaken the stock market. Opinions are divided over the probable action of the Bank of England governors on the official discount rate tomorrow. The present increase In money-market sup plies In London Is complicated with the question of needed protection against a demand from Berlin to help In meeting the pressure on supplies on that market. The scarcitv of stocks was the basis for a turn against the shorts which caused a brisk rise later in the day. when Great Northern ore certificates developed pro nounced strength. Thls,movment also dted out again into dullness and hesitation be fore the market closed. Bonds were trregtilat. Total sales." par value. !.24?.noo. United States bonds wero unchanged on call.
