Sales, jo,ovu. renruary, js.uuc. nominal: March ONE CAUSE OF WEAKNESS Favorable Developments in Day's - News Are Ignored AVIde Changes Restricted to Iess Active Stocks but Leaders Feel Pressure. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Wide changes of the day in the stock market were restricted to the less active stocks. The favorite' Is sues moved within a narrow range, and were dull and heavy. Among the less active stocks declines were larger. In some cases running up to to 8 points. Liquidation of Inactive stocks has been a feature ox the recent de. cllne In the general market. Discrimination by banks against such stocks as collateral is said to have led to forced selling. The spirited buying movement which was in progress when the market closed y enter day was not followed up today, although opening prices of a majority of the leading issues were nigner. This advance was quickly lost, and a heavy tone developed. The market was subject to no severe pres sure and few ox the prominent stocks moved as much as a point below yesterday's close. Union Pacific, Reading, Northern Pacific and smelting were most susceptible to pressure. sentiment was bearish and little beed was given such favorable factors as the outlook for peace In Mexico, the more cheerful feel ing abroad and an excellent statement for January of Baltimore & Ohio, the first of the large railroads to make Its report. These conditions apparently were outweighed by the importance given to the proposal to double the state tax on stock transfers. Such a plan, advanced at a time when the street was already feeling the accumulated weight of Its woes, made sentiment decidedly bearish. There was an easier tendency In the money market. Another small gold engagement for South America was arranged today. The loss sustained from gold exports and sub treasury operations so far this week by the banks Is nearly (7.000,000. Bonds moved narrowly and Irregularly. Total sales, par value, (2,000,000. United States bonds, unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Resorted by J. C. Wilson & Co.. Lewis ouiiaing, f oruana.

Corn made a net gain of 74 74c and oats 1-16 to 74 74 c. In provisions the outcome varied from 59774c decline to a rise of 274c, Owing to rain or snow extending from Oklahoma to South Dakota, wheat at first took a turn down. -The market was bearishly affected also by -predictions - that world shipments for the week would be large. News that foreigners were buylna wheat In Omaha to be routed via New Orleans ef fected a complete change in pit sentiment. The result was to add quickly lie to prices here. Primary receipts were 752,000 bushels against a holiday last year. Clearances of wheat and flour equalled 417.000 bushels. Corn found friends when wheat began to ascend. Oats were firmer on account of belief that the weather was unfavorable for marketing, though less so than for corn.

Through the efforts of the religious work department of the Young Men's Christian Association, arrangements are being made to hold a series of con ferences of Sunday school workers cf Portland. A similar series of meetings were held last year and were so sue cessful that the Y. M. C. A. has form ulated the present plan for submission to the Sunday school workers. The first meeting will be held In the trophy-room jt the Y. M. C. A., next Monday night at 6:30 o'clock, and will be attended only by Sunday school su perintendents and their representatives. At this time the plan will be presented and a decision reached. Nine confer ences are proposed, extending to the end of April. They will be attended by superintendents, teachers and all others Interested In the work. O. J. Bowman, who has charge of young people s work of the First Pres byterian Church, will be the leader. Last year more than 50 Sunday schools and young people's societies were rep resented. R. E. Perkins, religious worlc director of the association,' is anxious for all Sunday school super intendents to be present at the meet ing Monday night. Grocer Loses on Worthless Check. ROSEBTJRG, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) Representing himself to be a South ern Pacific construction foreman, a stranger giving his name as Thomas Griffin and his residence as Stanwood, Wash., Tuesday obtained $25 of E. C Benson, a Roseburg grocer, through means of a worthless check. Griffin .ordered a bill of groceries amounting to about $20, and In payment therefor tendered a check In the sum of $45. drawn on the Bank of Stanwood. Wash., and purporting to have been signed by E. C. Nicklason. A telegram received from the Bank of Stanwood, Wash., was to the effect that Nicklason died some time ago and that his account was later closed. CHEAPER LOANS DESIRED IATO UJRETTE BILL PAVES WAY FOR REMEDIAL- MEASURES. Reformers Plan to Do Business on Basis of 2 Per Cent a Month to Compete With "Sharks." Passage of the Latourette anti-loan-shark bill by the House of Representa tives, within the period when it might obtain consideration by the Senate, Is hailed with approval by the Portland contingent Interested In bringing about remedial measures In the field of salary and chattel loans, because the bill, if passed, removes the most seri ous stumbling block in the way of a remedial loan company which is to be organized here. While experience throughout the country, as gathered and tabulated by the Russell Sage Foundation, shows that these companies cannot operate safely on an Interest basis of less than 2 per cent a month, the reformers have been confronted by a statute which renders all loans liable to escheat to the school fund when they carry Inter est above the legal rate. The Latour ette bill, sanctioning 3 per cent a month' for short loans, or 12 per cent a year for one-year loans, removes this diffi culty, while not giving advantage to the sharks. Pleas made for the sharks on the floor of the House, that their business is hazardous and cannot be carried on at 3 per cent a month,- are denounced as false and frivolous by Investigators here. Experience drawn from scores of cases is used to show that the money-lender does not move without full assurance that he will get his money back with a handsome profit. security being exacted far In excess of the loan, and the borrower being forced to sign away, his legal rights and to agree to the payment of the money lender s attorney in case it Is necessary to proceed against the claim In court. Organization of the remedial com pany is proceeding satisfactorily, the efforts at present being directed to the making up of a list of Incorporators who will supply the Initial capital of the ' project. Encouraging promises have met the organizers and steps Howard legal incorporation will be taken in the near future. L. ADD & TILTON BANK Established 1859.
