A Good Portion ef tha Supply Being For-
r warded to Euro pet.
Tha condition of tha Eastern market for
Western box apples u reported by the New
York Frultmen's Culde, of December 5.
follows:
A good many Western box apples went
forward to Europe under earlier engage
ments, but a considerable portion aold lo
cally in the range of $2.23 to 3 per box
for Spitxenbergs. and from $1.5U to $2 50
per box for other Western stock. It is
stated on the authority of one of the prin
cipal" sellers of Western box apples that the
movement Is on the Increase, arrd littl
lirriculty is experienced in moving fancy-
stock out at around s-; per box. and in
some cases higher figures are realised.
i nere are some lots of Western apples.
however, that are a little difficult to move
even at sz per box. and a fair share of lati
arrivals needed urging to fetch $2.50 per
ttvt-Crnt Range In Egg Prices.
There was no change in tbe egg s!tu
, atlon. A range of 5 cents between the
blghest snd lowest price waa quoted -on

freely, but the sorts for which $1 or over

Standard Oil Interests 'After
Harrlman Stocks.
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.

CHICAGO. Dec. ' 10. 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

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

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

wise provision In our state constitution wnicn
forbids counties contracting over $5000 in
debtedness. 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

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

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.

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. MILT. RICHARDSON,
