Newspaper Page Text23 THE SUSTDAY OREGOOTAN, PORTLAND'. JUNE 10, 1900. .COMMERCIAL AND Aside from, a boom in the wheat mar kets, there was not much of Interest In the trade situation for the week ending yesterday. The election disarranged busi ness on the first day of the -week, but with that Important event out of the way, matters- moved along quite satisfac torily. The stravberrry crop has been moving at a. lLvely rate, and prices "since the beginning of the season are the best that have prevailed for many years. The output "was largu, and It has- placed In cir culation a largi sum of money. Oregon "Cherries, raspberries, currants and other .small fruits are now coming along, and for several weke will be quite a factor In trade. During the -week there were some fairly '.arge sales of wool reported, and. while' prices are not up to those of a few raonths ago., they arc still so much betijpr than they have been In some former yeuxs, -that some of the growers are quite, well satisfied to let go of their holdings. The San Francisco market Is Still bldfilng for Oregon potatoes, and prices e quite Arm again for good stock. Theve Is very little doing In hops, al thourbr a few sales of ordinary stock are being made all of the time. Eggs "have heli fairly steady through the week around 14 cents, but yesterday they were ain offering In found lots at 13& cents. Butter is -steady, and bringing full prices. Poultry sold to poorer advantage through ithe week than It has for a long time. 'Good Spring, chickens were salable at quo-" tatlons, but ducks and geese were decid edly dull, and refused to move at any price. Veal -and pork came in more plen tifully than -usual, but there was -no break In the market. Despite the presence of so much Oregon and California fruit, a couple of cars of bananas were received during the week, but the hawkers were called on to help dispose of the greater part M)f them. The season Is about ended now, -and ono or two cars more will satisfy the demands until native fruit becomes less plentiful. "WHEAT The Chicago wheat market lost over half of,' Friday' & gain during the tehort session yesterday, but there was con siderable strength manifest In Europe, 'futures being decidedly buoyant, while cargoes were 3 pence higher. The cause of the slumpJn Chicago was not attributed "so much to an Improved weather condi tion in the afflicted wheat territory as to a desire on the part of speculators to un load part of their burden before Monday. In the Portland market, prices are a shade firmer, and as high as 54 cents has foeen paid for No.'l Walla "Walla. This 3s about a cent above- the figures which most of the exporters will quote, but an other advance In "Liverpool would prob ably result In raising limits slightly, al though' all of the bujlng that has been done recently has ;been on jtha basis of about SSs 3d to 40 shillings for ships. As the supply cC tonnage obtainable at these rates has ben pretty well exhausted. It is .no longer profitable to figure on any thing less than 42s 6d, this rate being tasked -for almost -anything due within the :next six months wlthy.41s-Sd paid for a ship for Januaiar, 190L The condition; of the growing crop con tinues .strictly, Urst class. The fine weather of the week jut closed has practhically silenced allrerrts of rust, and the dam- . age from that cause 1b now generally admitted to huve been so slight as to be hardly wor.h mentioning. The wet weather y"the Yalloy caused. some dam.- kagcy but .ven this-Is being repalred.by the fine wf Ather. A. few" sales of Valley wheat Asere made duripg the week at 52 and 53cents. The Remand Js light, owing to thA, lack of demand, for "flour, the Ori ent?! trade of this class having almost cerjed. The California crbp is now be ire harvested,, and. from all reports la ibout up to the average, a fine yield In feome sections making up for the loss In others. The San Francisco Commercial News reports the California situation as -.follows: In the Sacramento Valley there Rill be a heavy yield to be harvested soon. Har vesting Is progressing favorably In the San Joaquin Valley and a good crop is expected. The yield of the Coast sections and the vicinity of the bay will be about up to the average. The situation locally la lifeless; spot wheat being dull enough to be quoted nominal. Tonnage continues ecarce and strong, and there will be an (abnormal large carry over on July 1.

The wheat pit was crowded today, but the market was weak. The opening was erratic, July at 72&7lHc, compared with last night's close at 72Q 72c. A few minutes later July was quoted at Tm&TLMc The slump vms due to the Weather Bureau prediction of rain in tho Northwest, combined with a report from Minneapolis that rain had been fall ing there. These Items caught the mar ket at the opening, and the valuo of wheat gave a lightnlng-chango exhibition In de clining. It looked as If everyone in the wheat pit would sell at this period, but thero were a few heavy longs who still held out. Their attitude, coupled with profit-taking by. shorts who y sold Just night, caused a rally to TIvrC, but this was lost, July slumping to THic. Again there CDLLISOIS & CO.

Mr. Richardson Is quite "rjght when he says that the anti-trust Constitutional amendment was proposed by thelteb'ubll-'lj cans of the House with no thought of its adoption, but for poetical Effect during the Presidential campaign. Mr. Dalzell stands also upon thd sond ground of truth when he charges that the present Democratic zeal against the trusts proceeds from a belief In tbe.' ,efncacy of demagogy upon the stump " Amendments to the Federal Constitu tion must be approved, by two-thirds fit both houses of Congress boforc they can be submitted to the Legislatures of the states, of which threeiourths must pass votes of ratification before the amend ments can become effective. The Re publican leaders know "very well that their raw, rough and -hasty amendment. cannot make even the1 first stage of Its long Journey to lr.coriKfatlon In the Con stitution.

Mr. Bryan boosted the trust Issue Into prominence as a political necessity. His Issue of free silver coinage was dead His party was divided on the Issue 'of anti-Imperialism. He saw- that the'Popr ullsts would go wld overthe trusts. Be sides, he is a convinced 'adversary of plutocracy, of whloh the-' trusts are a manifestation.

That is the business in which they are at present engaged In the House of Repre sentatives. The plutocrats of, tne trusts will. not lose a moment's sleep over ;thls double attack. They know that the leaders on both sides' are perfectly Insincere, with tho possiblo exception of Bryan himself, who might try to put a. atop to the busi ness of all corporations having a capital of over $50,000 if he . became' President.

Bellacoscla took to the macchl In '43 because the Mayor of his town de clined to furnish a false certificate ex empting him from military service;. The Mayor paid the usual penalty, and Bella coscla sought retirement In one of the caves of Monte d'Om. There'he accumu lated a collection of vendettas, which kept him occupied throughout life. The Gen darmes were constantly on his track, and every sort of device employed to take 05 starve him out. Some 20 of his fnearest re'atlves were once arrested on the charge of complicity: it was Tcnown that they were supplying him regularly with food,"' But It was no good; tne next of Kin took up the pious task.

Money Enough to SJeet Obllsatloas, But Xo Embarrassment of Rlcbes Probable Until AXter Election. The completion of tho monthly state ments for May, says a Washington cor respondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, throws soma additional light on the problem wlth which Secretary, Gage wilL have to deal In keeping the sur plus under control during the stress of a Presidential election without the aid of Congress In reducing taxation and with out taking any step which will be unpop ular with- the masses. The cash balance, as shown by the? dally statement of Juno 1, was $1457S3;529. This would constitutev .a hugO'lock-up'of-'funds If It were -not for theriact that the euimbf $111,322.41? Is ox deposit In: -National banks. This leaves, actually locked up In the Treasury at least, upon the face-of the 'figures only about $34,000.0007 "which Is nb' more" than ! Tequlred to cover funds In transit and he necessary balances at the subtreagiirlesv What the balance might have been "but for st.eps already taken .to keep It under control may Be judged when allowance is made for about $2S,000,000 paid In differ ences between par value and present "worth of tHe bonds whlcii have been re funded., and about $22,000,000 paid last Au tumn m the redemption of unmatured 4 and 5 per cent bonds. These conversions and '-redemptions of the debt have dis posed of $50,000,000 of the redundant sur plus which has recently been piling up in the Treasury. Secretary Gage has al ready called for redemption the matured 2 per cent bonds, amounting to $2S,364,0CO. He proposes also to redeem about $4,000, 000 of the public debt bCthe Hawaiian Islands, and will probably be called upon to pay about $8,000,000 more in. premiums upori bonds which are presented for re funding. He has an opportunity, there fore, to pay out about $35,000,000 outside the demands of ordinary .current expenai--ture.- This would absorb for Ave months an average surplus of $7,000,000 per month, and ,would carry the Treasury up" to" the date- of the Presidential 'election. The recent range 6t Treasury receipts does' not indicate a surplus materially in excess of $7,000,000 per month, although the amount may run as Wgh-as $S.O0O,00O ppr mopth. The receipts during May were S43.16G.K3. which is ortly about $400,000 more tnan tne receipts or Aiay, jc;. a"c jc ceints of June, ISM. howe,ver,rose to $47. 126 915,' and most of the succeeding months maintained the high range of receipts whlcii' has recently thrust such an em barrassment of riches upon the Treasury. The upward movement of both customi and Internal revenue receipts seems to havo -reached its zenith for the present, but It may be doubted If there will be any material downward movement. Tht receipts of April and May have been some what light, but this Is-bften the case with the Sprjng months.,-, especially with the customs receipts. From -present appear ance, therefore the surplus will not In any case amount to more than $40,000,000 for the five months ending .with. October 3L arid may be considerably less. This is at the 'rate of $100,000,000 "per .year, and could not be allow'ed to. continue 'perma nently. It Secretary" Gage can dispose ot $35,00?.POO however, In "the manner sug gested, the Increase of the surplus will not be -perceptible- enough to require anj further measures on h'e part, unless the condition dftflfe money market should be come serlouo in the Autumn. The com bined influence of the enlarged note" issue under the refunding law, and the relaxa tion In' money rates abroad with the col lapse of thp Boer opposition to tho British forces in South Africa are likely to aid the New York market In avertmg any se mm strinirencv. Apparently, the Secrc- j-tary will not be compelled to purchase unmatureu- oonas ai a ituuuui -m.o the Presidential election.

In commenting upon the Immigration statistics for May Edward S. McSweeney, the United States Commissioner at New York, calle attention both to the general Increase and to that singular change In the character bf -the Immigration of which -we have spoken before. As regards the first point it appeare that the entries at New York alone were 56,500 for the month, against 42,000 for the corresponding period of last year. The total Is perhaps a quar ter larger, and 19 Indicative of the very great Increase that may be expected for the fiscal year now drawing to a close and for the calendar year which ends next January. McSweeney 6aS that during the 11 com pleted months of the present fiscal year the Immigrants received at Kew York alono numbered S03.SS7. Referring to the u"u .u...v..v ,-w.. -----------o -- statistical aosiractot tne u.ouu during the full year 1SS9 were but 311,713. , Tho extraordinarily heavy returrs for this Spring explain the difference. May's rec ord being the largest of any month since 1S93, when the year's figures were 302,917. " Taking up the question of race or Na tional changes the commissioner says that in the "banner year. 18S2, T.hen there were nearly 800,000 Immigrants, 80 per cent came from the British Empire, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, while less than 20 per cent came from Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy and all other coun tries. But now the mother countries .end dnly 23 per cent, the southern andveasrern countries 73 per cent. "From Italy dur'ngr the present fiscal year we will receive 100,000 souls, of whom six-sevenths are from Southern Italy, and from Austria Hungary almost as many more." During tho last calendar year the lead ers were: Italy, 77.419; Austria-Hungary, 62,491, and Russia, C0.SS2, according to the statistical abstract, though ln one of the recent monthly summaries the figures are given as follows: Austro-Huflgary, 84.837; Italy, 82.257; Russia, 76.114. In March Austria-Hungary's supremacy was clear, the figures being 14,920, against 11.075 for Italy and 9.293 for Russia, but in April 15,805 Italians arrived at New York, and probably tho oommlssloner'3 estimate which put Italy at tho head for the fiscal year will be verified. During March, the last month for which we havo 'complete returns from the gov ernment, the United Kingdom's quota was 2,944. Sweden's 1.956, Germany's, 1.532, Nor way's. 1.36S, Dpnmark's. 560. The total, 8,410, is less than the contribution from either Italy. Austria-Hungary or Russia, and the-comparison, both TOr the month and for a series of years, proves that an alteration is going on which may have a considerable effect upon the future of the country, whoso population is becoming more cosmopolitan than ever. Eclipse In North America. Popular Science Monthly. Out of about 70 ecllpces of the sun which have occurred somewhere ln the world within the 19th century, there have been only eight total eclipses of more or lees duration visible on the North American continent. The others happened ln places often remote from civilization, and some times in entirely inaccessible localities, as over the ocean areas. The difficulty of transporting heavy baggage to the remote parts of Asia, Africa or South America Is such as to preclude ail -out a tew scien- t-'sts from any effort 'to observe eclipses. The writer was much impressed with the formidable nature of undertaking to es tablish eclipse stations in places which are distant from centers of population by his own experience on the West African Eclipse Expedition, cent out "by the United States Government, for the eclipse of De cember 22, 1S99, to Cape Iedo. on the west coast of Angola, about 70 miles south of St- Paul de Loanda.

PHILIPPINE RECONSTRUCTION Civil "Worlc of Comralisiou Will Dl conrnRe. Insurgents. Chicago Tribune. There Is much reason to hope that the arrival of the new Philippine Commission at Manila marks the beginning of a period of acticity and successful reconstruction throughout the islands. The capture of some of Aguinaldo'is papers, with the ru mor that he has been killed or wounded, may or" may not have some bearing on tho course of events. The paramount fact la that a commission of able,, wise and Barn es men, clothed with plenary powers, is now on the ground and will shortly Mgir the work of political reconstruction ovec all the pacified portions of the islands. Judge Taft, the head of the Commission, admirably Ptates the aims of that bod in tnese worus: j KeprcsentIng. tne of tho Unite! Statej- Jn tho Philippines, which It la tha pur pose of our Government to maintain, wo ar) here to do Justice to the Filipinos, and to ao-j euro for them the beat government In ourf power, 'ana such a measure of popular control! as is consistent with the stability and secbrltyl of lav. order and property. The wishes of the American people anc$ the policy of President McKInley regard ing" the Filipinos are summed, up ln these few lines. The determination to maintain! order, the desire to be just, and the laten-. tion to give the natives as large a shars as possible in their own government thesa1 are the cardinal pointsxlnttba-plan of re construction. There are-tiJthousand knotty details to be worked out. but these are thai principles that must govern the whole' work.-. That the members -of the Commis sion are men who will conscientiously do their best on these llncsr is certain, and that their efforts will be crowned wltl success there is every reason to believe. As Judge Taft says, the members of the Commission are men of peace and have nothing to do with armed Insurrection. Sc far as this still exists. It will continue tc be dealt with by General MacArthur as In the past. But as the pacified territory widens It will be brought under the control of the Commission, and its local and pro vincial governments will be put ln opera tion under the general plan found most applicable to the situation. The nativea wilt be given a full hearing upon the policy to be pursued and the reforms to be Insti tuted. As they gradually come' to under stand the justice, generosity and clemency of the United States, the disaffected JFJh pfnos cannot fail to cease hostilities and to unite ln the work of reconstruction, aa thousands have already done. 'The Inten tion of extending the school system as rapidly as porslble Is most commendable. The task of tho commission Is not easy, nor Is It one that can be completed la haste, but there is every cause to expect that before another year has passed tha Philippine Islands will be under a satis factory civil government.
