THE SOKDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, TOtt 22, 1900. 19 COMMERCIAL AND The Summer season is about at Its height, and naturally trade Is not so brisk as It is earlier or later in the year. In the country, farmers are so busy taking care of the crops that they "have but little time for trading, and from the city several thousand of tho inhabi tants have departed lor the seashore and mountains. At the same time there is a good demand for all kinds of seasonable staples, and, with the exception of wheat and wool, which are still dragging, there is considerable firmness in most agri cultural products. Butter has advanced during the week on account of tne not weather interfering with shipments, and there is also a very firm market for" eggs, poultry, pork and veal, which usually are in a large measure neglected during the hot weather. Receipts of fruit and melons were very heavy, but the weiither has been so favorable for the sale of them that they have cleaned up at re markably good prices. The grain mar kets are dull. Sugar and coffee are firm, with an advancing tendency. WHEAT There has been a very light movement in wheat during the past wee, the sales In the aggregate being of no consequence either as a key to prices or In adding to stocks now held at tide water. The dock strike this week has caused exports for July to show up much lighter than they otherwise would have done, but as lay days do not count no one is regarding the strike very serious ly, and some of the exporters are taking advantage of the lull in the business to enjoy a few days' vacation. Farmers are all so busy securing the crop that they are not making any overtures to the buyers, and -on both sides there is a disposition to wait awhile before doing much business. Under such circum stances, quotations are strictly nominal, and are generally given out at 55 cents for "Walla "Walla and Valley and about 9 cents for bluestem. Higher prices have been paid for some lots wanted for a special purpose, but the amount wanted at prices above these figures "is limited. Freights are unchanged, with owners re fusing to make concession. Crop conditions continue favorable. There will be no such phenomenal yield as -some of the hysterical Tacoma news paper correspondents have been predict ing, but it will be far above the average. In most "cases where "disappointing" crop returns are coming in an investiga tion dlsojoses the fact that lands which usually turn off 25 bushels to the aero are now yielding 30 bushels, while their owners were expecting 40 bushels to tho acre. This may be termed "disappoint ing yield," but it is a class of disap pointment of which we can stand a great deal. Thus far there is no apparent rea son for changing former estimates of 40, 000,000 bushels for the entire Northwest. 3?uget Sound's experts have already knocked off about 6,000,000 bushels from tho. crazy estimates made a 'few weeks ago, but as they still have it at 25,000,003 bushels, there will be an opportunity for Tacoma to again get her name in tha papers by deducting a million on two more.

CHICAGO, July 2L The activity en gendered by wheat was only moderate, but the wheat market showed a broad undertone of strength. The range of prices was rather narrow, but, consider ing the fact that the day was Saturday, and speculators inclined to rest even over Saturday, business was brisk. Sep tember opened ic over yesterday, at 78H7Sc, and sold to 78c during the first half hour. Liverpool showed an ad vance of &&, and reported that there wad tjo Argentine wheat being offered, and that the American stuff was cheaper than cither Russian or Danube offerings. Northwest tidings were 1n no wlge less gloomy. Profit-taking followed the open ing bulge, and September dropped to 77c The market, however, soon reacted by buying by-the Northwest, the seaboard and some local interests, September ral lied to 78c and closed strong, Qo im proved, at 78tt7S$BC. Moderate activity and conservative strength characterized the corn trade. Cables were higher, and country offerings were remarkably small. September closed c over yesterday, at 33V5c Oats we're quiet and steady, supported by the firmness of wheat and corn. Sep tember closed a shade higher, at 23c Provisions were strong and fairly active most of the time Offerings were light. There was. good local buying on the prospect of a decrease in the lard stocks. The cash business was reported In good shape. September pork closed 27jc over yesterday, lard 10c higher, and ribs 15c Improved. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening. Klchest.

NEW YORK, July 2L-The trouble Jn China is already influencing tho whole sale tea market of this country. Within tho last few days tho price of tea has advanced from 1 to 2 cents a. pound, and II still further Increases seem likely. Inas much as with the continuance of .the dif ficulties in China it will, cost more to import, when the outbreak began it was computed that there were about 28.000, 000 pounds of tea In this country. That stock Js being rapidly bought up by re tailers, and, should the hostilities extend to the tea-growing districts, a rapid rise in the price of the commodity, will re- ! suit.

K0HLSAAT ON THE ELECTION Gives McKInley and Roosevelt 270 Electornl Votes. " New York Journal. CHICAGO, July 15. Behind the flimsy guardianship of an Uncle Remus and a dusty bust of McKInley lies the private office of Hon. H. H. Kohlsaat, proprietor of the Chicago Tknes-Herald, the leading Republican editor of the West, Incidentally a. man of business and affairs, and spe cifically one of tha Republican , trium virate who put McKInley in the White Hoqse. . Te bust of McKInley looks owl-like, glum .and neglected. The dust has set tled on it until It is nearly as dusky as Uncle Remus himself. Mr. Kohlsaat is a fine-haired man. -and, therefore, pleasant to approach and freo of speech. To those who do not know him, just imagine Mark Hanna and then think oS something just as different as possible; that will be Mr. Kohlsaat. On the "wall of his private room hangs the original typewritten draft of the financial plank adopted by the Republican convention at St. Louis In 1SB6. Mr. Kohl saat points It out with modest pride. Here la the interlineation of Whltelaw Reld: there the shrewd modification of the as tute Senator Proctor, and there the word "gold" written In by Mr. Kohlsaat him self. "There,' said he, "Is where Senator Foraker and I had our llttlo battle." Recites Current History. But the -American wanted 'current his tory and not reminiscence, and here It Is: "Before the meeting of the, Democratic convention at Kansas City," said Mr. Kohlsaat, "I was far from sanguine in regard to the election of McKInley and Roosevelt. It was not that I had any misgivings as to how the West would throw its vote, but It seemed to me that influences were at work in the East that made Xew York, Connecticut, New Jer sey and Maryland debatable ground, with tho chances favoring the Democracy." "Are not the same Influences still at work in the East?" "No. Before the Democratic conven tion there wa3 much dissatisfaction ex pressed publicly and privately among business men with the McKInley Administration- What with, the antl-lmperlallsts. civil service reformers. Boer sympathiz ers and critics of his reversal of policy in Porto Rico nnd the sense of security over the currency question, there was a grave probability that Indifference as to what happened might cost the Republi cans several Eastern States, including, of course. New York." "Well, what has happened to change thtsr "Why-, the Kansas City convention has happened, and Croker has happened as a dominating power in the Democratic councils, and specific reaffirmation of tho rotten 16-to-l plank of the Chicago plat form in most repulsive form has hap pened. And Bryan permeating and. pre dominating the whole proceedings with his whole, medley of falso nostrums has happened. "Moreover, the West is plentifully en dowed with horse senc. It knows that therp Is an able representative American commission now In the Philippines study ing out what line of policy, what form of government. Is best suited for that Island Jetsam thrown upon our hands by a just and necessary war. The people of the West know that If William J. Bryan were elected President next November he could not do otherwise than accept the recommendations of the present Phil ippine commission or appoint a new one to go over the same ground and arrive at practically the same conclusions. Specter of Disorder. "Finally, the American people look be hind Bryan and the specific declaration as to silver and see the spirit of social, economic and political disorder crouching In their train. They see that the Kansas City platform Is an attempt to array class,, against class, to undermine the -1900- -1S99- .

Recent advices from Indiana indicate that that state will be the scene of a very fierce conflict during the coming campaign, and that whichever parly carries the state will have made a brilliant run against Its an tagonist. The Democrats will this year follow the Republican example, and ar range a complete canvass of the state, lending the very best obtainable orators into every section, endeavoring to offset the Influence of tho Republican cam paigners, who haye heretofore done such effectual work In the Hoosier state. A Democratic paper prints a statement from the Democratic nominee for Governor of Indiana, John W. Kern, in. which he de plores the insertion of 16. to 1 in the Democratic National platform, but says that 16 to 1 is the ratio for the coinage of gold and silver as fixed by statute and is the ratio at which our gold and silver are being coined today. Ho says tho parties do not differ on the ratio, but on free coinage, imperialism and the trusts This is altogether- a very mixed and unreliable" statement, and If the Indiana, Democrats proceed on that theory, they will find themselves deep in the mire by election time.

Bailey, of Seattle, is in receipt of two communica tions from the Rev. Horace W. Houldlng, of the Independent Missionary Service. The first is dated January C, 1900,. from the temporary home of tho South Chi LI Mission in Shan Tung Province. It In closes a letter written by Dr. Arthur H. Smith to United States Minister Conger at Pekln, asking old during the early stage of the Boxer outbreaks. The sec ond letter was written June 11. from Pel Taiho, on the north coast of China, where the missionaries take a vacation during each Summer. The first letter Is in part as follows: '"Temporary Home, South Ciil Li Mis sion, Lin Chlng, Shan Tung Province, January 6, 1900. Dear Friends: The trouble with tho United Fists or the Boxers still continues. At one time it was deemed likely that we should all need to face tho Winter and start for Tien Tsln. Decomber 6 was the day set for raiding us at Lin Chlng. You know there la quite a strong station of the American Board Mission here. Many letters by courier and many telegrams have passed between the American Board of Missionaries and the United States Minister, Mr. Conger, at Pekln. The na tive Christians are suffering severely. The way they 'endure hardness has won my admiration. Scores and even hun dreds of men, women and little ones have been robbed and oftentimes beaten, and ruthlessly driven from pillaged and burning homes into tho bitter cold of Midwinter. "I propose here to copy the principal parts of the last letter sent Mr. Conger by Dr. Arthur H. Smith. The letter read3 as follows: " Tang Chuang. Decomber 20. 1SD0. Hon. E. H. Conger. United States Min ister, Pekln Dear Sir: I think I men tioned to you a. week ago that there were alarms about an attack meditated on the village of Hochlatum by a band of Boxer ruffians from Thing Ping. The evidence that mischief was intended is strong. Wo thought it prudent to address a letter to enoh of the district magistrates. Tho Chlng Ping official did not deign to reply.' "The morning of December 28 the Box ers appeared at tho village, In a force represented as between 100 and 200, of whom perhaps CO were cavalry. One party mode for our chapel and school house, the doors of which they broke In and looted tho place, carrying oft every thing, pulling out the window frames and burning them with the door3 for fuel. Directly In front of the chapel Is another yard with a commodious house, owned by the mission and used as our private headquarters for this district. This place was also looted and wrecked. One party of the pillagers made for tho house of the helper who lives In this, village, which house they entered and pillaged. The members of the 'orally escaped over the wall, one young daughter of the helper having, a narrow escape from capture. The 'Presbyterian Minion has had 65 famijlea looted uo to Decomber 18, apd the London Mission, to the west of ua, about SO up to yesterday, and fresh cases dolly reported.
