Coastwise Business Big.
Carry, na: 2.700.3M feet of lumber, valued
at $28.25. tbe British steamship Stephan
otis. Captain Good?vch, cleared yesterday
' afternoon for Shanghai, !Dalny and Japa
nese ports. The cargo was dispatched
y the Pacific Pxport Lumber Company,
- and In the first of the lumber export
phlps to clear for the month of February
The steamship will leave down this morn
ing: at daylight and will proceed direct
to sea. Bunker coal will be taken at
Seattle.
Lumber shipments, foreign, for the
present month will come close to break
ing the record for oft shore shipments.
"With four steamships and three sailing
vessels loaded or nearing,completion and
one in port under charter, it Is safe to
estimate upwards of 15,000.XM) feet for the
foreign exports for the short month.
Two full cargoes were reported sold at
Portland yesterday: one for Oallao and
one for Australia. To transport this lum-
Ter it is more than probable that spot
ships will be taken. The, British bark
Alt air and the British ship Manx King
wiJl be the first to be taken up. In
quiry was made for each of these ves
jbIk yesterday, but the charter parties
were not signed. Both will probably be
placed on the list before the end of the
work.
Coastwise shipments will also be heavy
for February, nnd the local mills will
run full time. The demand in California
is firmer and the rate has stiffened a
trifle. Sail and steam tonnage are being
chartered rapidly.

THE WORLD'S SILVER. MARKET.
Review of tlie Year 1M9 by a London
' Authority.
Plxley & Atell's Annual Circular.
A feature of the past year has been the
comparative steadiness of the silver mar
ket. The average price of the year Is 23
It-lfld, the lowest on record, against 24
13-32d. In 19C8 and 30 3-lfid. in 1907. The
previous lowest annual average was 24 l-lod.
in 1I02.
The improvement which took place during
December, tlKK, was continued during the
early weeks of January, and the quotation
rose from 23 3-lGd. the opening price of tho
year, to 2-4 d. on the 18th of that month.
From that Dolnt the marker declined,
mainly on sales by China, until, on March
4. 23 l-16d. was quoted. During March
fluctuations were small, tout April and the
first week of May saw a steady Improve
ment, due to purchases both by China and
the Indian bazaars, which carried the
quotations up to 24 7i. The tendency was
then again downwards until early In July,
when, at about 23"Vd.. the market remained
very steady, with insignificant fluctuations
for a period of about seven weeks. From
then there was a slight Improvement to
24d. which was quoted on August 31, but
durtng September and October the market
sagged slowly, until, in November, prices
steadied at about 23d. During December,
on important buying for the Continent and
extensive covering by Indian speculators, a
decided improvement was established, which
for a few dajs carried, the quotation to
24 5-lGd.
India's Purchases.
Shipments to India, though less than in
ISOR. have continued on a large scale, and
amount to about G,750.0no, while the stock
held in Bombay is now 1.000.000. with
nearly 500.000 on the water, against a
stock of f400.OOO and iS40.ooO in transit at
the end of 11K)8. With the excellent crops
of cotton and other produce in India, it Is
anticipated that there will be & large de
mand for silver for Jewelry and hoarding
during the coming year .though, judging
from the increased shipments of gold to In
dia during the last few months, it Is prob
able that a greater proportion of gold than
usual will absorb the savings of the people.
The speculation to which we referred last
year continued unfit recently, and at one
time it was estimated that Indian specula
tors had sold short on this market to the
extent of 2.000.000. During the last few
months, however, this has been largely
liquidated, and the amount now open can
be but trifling. - This buying was probably
the principal cau?e of the steadiness of the
market during the later months of the
year.
China's Part in the Market.
China has been a larger and more impor
tant buyer than usual though at times,
when quotations have suited, she has sold
freely. In addition to her operations on
this market, she has also bought and sold
largely in Bombay, while from San Fran
cisco she hap received upwards of 1.500,000,
against 1,100.oo in 19US. The low rates
of exchange ruling in China have again ad
versely affected the import trade, while ex
ports for the same reason have been stimu
lated. The country has been favored with
excellent crops and the banks have been
obliged to buy and Import silver freely to
pay for their exports. Shipments of silver
from London to China during the year
amount to nearly 2.0uO.OOu- against 821,
000 in HOS. -but these figures are not nec
essarily correct, for silver shipped to China
from London Is often diverted .while in
transit to India, while shipments to India
are In the same way diverted to China. A.
few purchases have been made by the coun
tries comprising the Latin Vnlon. but pur
chases by the American, French, and Mexi
can govenrments have been practically
nothing.
A Forecast.
Though it Is always difficult to forecast
the future of the market with any degree of
confidence, yet it seems probable that apart
from any unforeseen factor that may arise,
the average price for the coming year will
be somewhat higher than that of 19O0- The
general Improvement in trade, which Is now
becoming evident the world over, especially
in India and China, where silver plays a
must important part, and the tendency of
several states to Increase the amounts of
sliver subsidiary coinage In circulation, and
so relieve the pressure on their gold reserves
with profit to themselves, should lead to a
good Keneral demand for silver durina the
CASH DEMAND SLOW
Cause of Decline in Chicago
Wheat Pit.
MAY OPTION OFF ONE CENT
Corn and Oats Are Strong Early,
but Dec-line at tlie Close Pro
visions Continue to
Advance.
CHICAGO". Feb. 2. Wheat ruled lower
today. Corn and oats, after showing early
strength, also fell off. provlslonsclosed at
an advance over yesterday's final figures.
Slow demand for cash wheat here and In
the Northwest and Southwest was the con
trolling factor in the wheat pit and was
largely responsible for the decline in prices.
The high point of the day for May was
$1. 11 and the decline carried the figures
for that month down to $1.10 & I.IO1. The
close was weak at the low points in all
months. May being 1c lower.
Prospects of a recurrence of weather un
favorable to the transportation of the fild
err p. together with an improved demand
from outside Interests, gave early Btrength
to corn. The variations ranged from to
4 c. May touching 67 i c and falling to
C H i'tlie. where It closed.
Oats followed the same course .advancing
early on improved buying, in spite of the
large arrivals and dragging at the closr,
through the influence of the downward
wheat market. The variations, in price
were from He Sc. May touching 47 c
and declining to 4i4c. The close was weak
in all the futures at nearly tlie low points
of the day. May closed at 40 k 46 c, H

My Unfailing and Scientific
Treatment Is Yours
Pay When Cured
My cur? arc lasting because the method I
employ meet even the moet minute details of
those ailments to which they apply, and are
readily modified to meet the requirements of
individual cases. Because my treatment Is ample,
scientific and thorough, my cures are complete
and lasting:, and my patients have no relapses.
For the same reason I am usually able to cure in
much less time than is commonly required in
obtaining- but partial results.
I treat for real and lasting- cures, Cvery
remedy I employ has its part in bringing- positive
and permanent results, under my treatment the
patient who notes improvement in his condition
can feel assured that real benefit and not a tem
porary drug effect has been obtained, and can
continue with confldenca that -a thorough cure is
being accomplished.
Contracted Ailments
The serious results that may follow negrlect
of contracted tkllmenls could scarcely be exag
gerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough
cure In the least possible time. I have treaied
more cases of contracted ailments than anv
other physician upon the Pacific Coast. Mv
cures are thorough and are accomplished in lees
. time than other forms of treatment require In
producing even doubtful results. I emplov reme
dies of my own devising, and mv treatment Is
xiually effective In both recent and chronic
cases.
I Treat Men Only Obstructions
The vast multitude of men who have taken '
my treatment have not been disappointed. Thev
know that I do not promise more than I per
form. To them I have actually Illustrated lit the
cure of their own cases the truth of what I claim,
namely, that my treatment Is as certain- to cure
ae It Is that my patient engages my services and
follows my directions. My success Is due not
alone to education, experience, skill and scien
tific equipment, but to the fact that I limit mv
study and practice strictly to aliments of men.
To male maladies alone I have earnestly and ex
clusively devoted 25 years of mv life, and on
them all my faculties are concentrated.
