GIVES MAflKET A LIFT Strength Due to tlie Showing of the Annual Report of the fnlon Pa cific Proposed Increase In Freight Rate9 a Factor. NEW YORK. Dec. 10. Tha stock market today continued to be largely one of spe olaltles. The Harrlman Pacifies were pushed forward Into prominence again, but even these usually influential leaders did not revive any animation In the dealings In the hlgh-rrade stocks, which in common practice predominate In the dealings. The soeclal strength of the Harrlmans was connected with the showing of the an nual report of the Union Pacific and Its auxiliaries. The report was a sufficiently striking exhibit of the vast and compli cated activity ,of this powerful instrument of finance and Industry and the efficiency with which the instrument has been em ployed was shown beyond dispute by the figures presented. The general outlines of the contents, however, had been generally known and the expectation of its publica tion proved more effective In stimulating speculation than did the realisation. This was the more true because anticipation had been whetted by Intimations that the re- nort was to contain suggestions on the fu ture general policy of the companies. Tbe reduction in the holding for Investment of the Great Northern and Northern Pacinc shares: . the conversion of Chicago, Mil waukee A St. Paul common stock holdings Into subscriptions for new stocks and the Increase in Illinois Central holdings were Items of special interest to the stock mar ket. The perusal of the annual report was of less influence on the mind or the average speculative follower of the market than wa,s the demonstrative buying of the Harrlman and other stocks by brokers credited with acting for Standard Oil Interests. The openness with which large orders were exe cuted from these sources was supposed to mean a proclamation of confidence In higher lrlces on the part of the buyera. Needless to say, the inferences as to the Identity of the buyers and as to their motives were purely gratuitous and subject to all th elusive methods employed In skilled specu latlon. These inferences continued effect Ive. however In Inducing a speculative fol lowing which continued to buy stocks and bid up prlcea Filing of notices with the Interstate Com merce Commission of an Increase in trans continental freight rates on January 1 was helpful factor in shares of railroads In that group. The metal Industrials showed some re newed strength. A rise in the price of copper in London and a recovery in the price of silver were of benefit. Belief that agreement Is near on specifications for steel rails between the Pennsylvania and the United States Steel Corporation was a cheering factor, as it is believed that the placing of orders by the Pennsylvania would prove a signal for the placing of ordors by the railroads generally. The action of the wheat market was of sympathetic effect on stocks and reports of Winter wheat conditions allayed appre hension of severe damage to It by long drouth and later freezing. November ex ports of agricultural products showed a fall ing off of over $23,000,000 from the valua tion of a year ago. but the rush of com modities to foreign- markets to realise and to meet the country's panic necessities was then in full force. Foreign exchange rates advanced again and' although there was a corresponding rise In the Parle cheques, $2,500,000 in gold was taken for export. Time loan rates here were firmer and the subtreasury con tinues to absorb large sums from the banks without the payment of subscriptions for the Panama Canal bonds yet figuring in those operations. - While a number of substantial factors are thua shown to help the advance, the stock In trade of the speculators waa still a swarm of rumors of deals, mergers and combinations which. It realized. would change the railroad map of the whole coun try. The gold export engagements were par tially responsible for the easy , closing of the market. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $8,560,000. ITnlted States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Amal Copper .... 14.0110 Am Car tc Foun. 1,500 do preferred ... -.

The wheat market was extremely nervous all day and senti ment in the pit was generally bearish until late in the session, -when prices advanced sharply on buying by leading longs and local shorts. The market opened weak, with prices unchanged to c lower, with the May delivery showing the greatest weakness. Toward the middle of the day and after several slight linking spells, the market became almost demoralized aa a re sult of general selling. Inspired by liqui dation by several of the bull leaders. Wltlili a very --few minutes prices broke more than a cent and the decline was checked only by the efforts of big holders, who oult sell tng temporarily and began reinstating lines sold out earlier In the day. This resulted In prices advancing to new high points for me aay. May ranged between II. 06-and 1.0T and July between 88c and 9c. rinal quotations on May were at 41.07 td x.vi ana on July -at c. Cash wheat was In better demand and held firm. Export business was brisk and 36 boatload's were reported "worked" for the day. The Missouri crop report made me acreage sown to Winter wheat in that state 500.000 acres less than shown in the Government report and the condition was .9i compared with .90, which was the Gov ernment's estimate. On the other hand, the Kansas estimate raised the Govern ment's - estimate of yield for that state to 32.000.0OO bushels and made the condition "J against .97 as shown by the Govern ment. torn was weak nearly all dav The slump in wheat and a decline of .c to lc in me price of the cash grain were the principal depressing Influences.

NO BONDS FOR ROADS Says Build Yearly as Much as Cash in Hand Pays For. M'MINNVILLE. Or., Dec. 10. (To the Ed itor.) Our grange at its last meeting passed resolutions expressing their, views on the much-talked-of question of good reads. It would be wise for those who will be called upon to foot the bills for good roads to take time to thoroughly Investigate thse good-road schemes before pledging either state or county to pay for them. If it Is economic wisdom for individuals to keep out of debt, lt is equally economic wisdom to keep the state and counties out of debt. This hurrah and excitement being raised in the Interest of good roads reminds me very much of the early days of railroad building In the Western States. The promoters of railroad enterprises worked county courts Into guar anteeing railroad bonds and Interest on rail road bonds, but many of the railroads were never built. Individuals, who had more money than gumption, were also fooled Into investing tbelr money In railroad schemes that proved to be wildcat affairs. I well remember that Washington County guaranteed the interest on thousands of dol lars of railroad bonds that were sold and the money squandered, and no road built. For several years the county paid annually som J&ooo to interest on them and probably would J THPIR PIAYiDOWNING-HOPKINS CO. I I I la.

As for schemes being promoted asking for etate or county bonds, the chances are ten to one that the promoters are more Interested in the graft to be got out of it tnan they are in benefiting the country. Road-building In this state la vet in its experimental stage. There Is as yet no wll- devised plan or system established that can be thoroughly depended on for a permanent ana lasting road. The system that proves good in other states and other climates may not be good in this, and especially In the western part of the state. Hore we have a wet and a dry season. A road that would be permanent and good in a country where the ground was not full of water five months In the year might -prove worthless in this. Why plunge the county in debt, to build roads that would be useless? Our present system or road tax Is all we need for the present, With lt wo can improve the roads to as high a stanaara as tne wealth of the county able to pay for. Besides, under the present system of road taxation we can feel our way with no great loss and In time develop system of road-bulldlng adapted to our cli mate. 1 hen let us bend our energies making permanent and lasting roads on this system, iiut even then prudence will dictate that we set our faces sternly against, con tracting any public debt to build these roads. Let us build only each year ea much road hs we are able to pay for. Iwant to warn the farmers and taxpayers 01 luis sutie agmnm tne aavrntiuimy 01 bonding the state- for Internal Improvements. The moment a bond is sold it begins to draw interest. In 20 years we would pay in In terest more than the face of the bond an.l still we would be as deeply In debt as we were when the bond was first issued, ready to commence paying Its value again In in terest. We had far better levy a tax each year to the amount of the annual Interest on the estimated amount of bonds needed for the desired Improvement. Then In 20 years we would have the road and have It paid for and no debt staring us In the face. This plan I know will be displeasing to those who want to draw an income from the toil of the masses, but for those who wish to preserve their small savings to tide, tbem over misfortunes and lighten the cazes of old age lt Is the better plan. 1 MILT. RICHARDSON. Resolutions passed bv McMInnvllle Grange: Whereas. There is a general agitation all over the state in the interest of good roads and various schemes are being promoted looking to the improvement of our public highways: and Whereas. The Grange, representing the farmers and producing class, the class to whom roads are a necessity, deem it their duty to give expression to their views on this widely-agitated subject of good roads; so now. therefore, be lt ' Resolved. By McMinnville Grange, that we favor the building of good roads as fast as the growing wealth and general progress of too country will permit. The law now In force giving County Courts authority to levy each year a reasonable road tax to be ex pended in Improving the public highways In the county is all that prudence should ask of the public. And be It further Resolved. That we are absolutely opposed to any and all bonding schemes or in any manner whatsoever contracting iny public debt for the purpose of making good roads, let the improvement of our roads keep pace with the general improvement of the country. The community has no right to demand any better roads than the wealth of the country Is able to pay for at the time ot building. And be It further Resolved, That the roads leadlrg to the centers of trade and shipping points, wherein the greatest number of producers are bene fited in getting their produce to market, should claim the most attention in the way of permanent public road improvement. And be It further Resolved, That we are opposed to any scheme of taxing the people of the whole state for the purpose of building a public road through the etate as a speedway for pleasureseekers. Ail money raised by taxa tion for road-bulldlng purposes should be ap plied to roads that accommodate the pro ducers in getting their products to market. And be it further Resolved. That If the General Government or the state government should make appro priations for the benefit of our public high ways, that said appropriations be judiciously distributed among the several counties of tho state, so that all public roads may be bene fited thereby.
