ABLE TO DICTATE TERMS linainial Condittons Katt ot Moun tain Improved by Recent helling and There I Now Xo Pres sure to Market Grain. Financial conditions east of the mountains sr. easy, on account ot mo much wheat hav. Ins; been aold lately. There appears to be absolutely bo pressure to market the grain and buvlns; has become decidedly difficult. There were practically no offerings on the market yesterday. With irowers In socn comfortable eircumstances, K Is likely that acitlTlty will only bo resumed when buyers corns ts sellers terms, which will mean a tiTg-her basis thso now prevalla. Warrant tor auch an advancs may come when freights to ths Orient ara lowered. 11 is ths opinion of grain men that a 93 rate to Japan will soon be generally quoted by the regular lines, one company has already offered shippers space at this figure. Bev. ral tramps are seeking Oriental bunslneas oa the coast, and as ths freight movement Is lack, ths big lines may be forced to re adjust their tariffs. la some quarters It Is believed ths reduc tion will not halt at ths 3 level. Shippers, with rates .ven. will glvs ths preference to ths regular liners, and this may make tramp space ara liable at a very low rigurs. Thers ars signs of improvement, long da is-red.

Thsra Is a firmer feeling In the butter market, as stocks ars well cleared up. and Inquiries are coming from Seattle, but no higher prices ara looked for. Ths Northern demand Is occasioned by the fact that prac tically all ths New Zealand butter lately re ceived has been worked off. Another large shipment ot 6300 cubes Is dus on January 10 from New Zealand, and this may lower the markets all along the tine. The cheese market la strong, as stock are light, and an advancs of half a cent sr more next, week is probshi. APrLE MARKET 1 NOW IMPROVING. Marks la Interior Are Cleaning rp Faacy frail brarcc.

Tradera were more Inclined to awing tu the ahort b11 and at timer, tho popular stocks were under heavy fire from the bear. Pres sure was not applied steadily, however, and trading dragsed much of the time. Only a few prominent share were forced down aa much as a point. The downward tendency of the market was Influenced by realising sales In stocks which have mad large gains recently, and by the especial weakness of Individual stocka. Can adian Pacific dropped to 204. the lowest price in two years. New Haven waa offered free ly and at one time sold S- below lta best figure ot the day. European selling was a factor In the day's movements, about 15,000 shares having been disposed of for foreign account. Canadian Pacific's weakness was due laraely to pressure from abroad. Sales of copper metal at 15c were reported here and tha metal market abroad im proved. The copper sharea felt the atimulat ing effect of this change In the metai mar ket for a time, hut ultimately joined in the general movement. The uncertain outlook for money during the closing days of the year played a part fn restricting speculation. Call loana were renewed at 3 per cent, but later the rate rose to 0.

JOHNS WORK DELAYED Pral Argument Over Willamette Boulevard Postpones Decision. 6T. JOHNS, Or., Dec 29. (Special.) A decision on the width of Willamette boulevard through Ulnar's Addition, in St. Johns, pendlnff in the Supreme Court, will not be reached until next June or July. George I. Perkins, attorney for St. Johns, undertook to have the case sub mitted on briefs without oral argument, but Attorney Thomas desired to submit oral argument to the court. It Is contended that the street waa made 100 feet wide through the action of Hartman Thompson. Owners of the land on either side prepared a map showing the boulevard 100 feet wide, and sold lots according to this map. The opposition holds that the street la not 100 feet wide and the alleged wid ening by Hartman & Thompson waa not regular. The case came up when an attempt by St. Johns to pave Willam ette bouvelard from Portland city lim its was stopped by the proceedings. Mr. Perktne said he regretted that the matter, could not have been sub mlttd on briefs, as only law points are Involved, and a decision could have been rendered within a few weeks, whereas It will be held up for months.

Shorts in corn abrupt ly found themselves competing with longs. The result was a sharp upturn In prices all around. No Important reaction occurred and the market closed at the top figures ot the dav. Wheat, like corn, developed a firm tone after an easy start. The transient weakness was a reflection of lower cables and seemed in ha litrlA if at all the result of announce ment that Argentine wheat could now enter the United Statea duty free.
