1& THE SUNDAY OEEGOITIA, POETLAKD, 'AUGUST 26, 1900. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET WEEK'S TRADING "WAS A DiSAP ponerarmT all round. Unfavorable Bank Statement Affect ed Business Yesterday Foreign Discount Rate Very Firm. KBW TORK, Aug. 23. "Weakness was pretty generally manifested throughout the entire stock market today but as the offerings of 6tocks -were only fairly large in Brooklyn Transit, not much of an Inroad was jnfide on prices. Early hesi tancy was succeeded by a rising mar ket but the entire list weakened In the late trading on the publication of the bank statement and liquidation In Brook lyn Rapid Transit. Numerous favorable "weekly statements of earnings came to hand, but their showings were without avail In sustaining prices. Respecting the recent activity and strength In St. Louis Southwestern, the July statement made known today is explanatory. The report showed a gain of CO per cent in net earnings over the corresponding period a year ago. Estimates as to the extent to whloh the banks had recouped themselves on Subtreasury operations, and the In terior currency movement for the loss In cash last week, were not borne out In the official report. The discrepancy Is thought to be due to the complicated system of averages which does not Indicate the banks' real strength. Results In the stock market this week were disappointing to bulls and bears alike. "While the market was unresponsive to good news, unfavorable reports failed to create any marked liquidation. The floating supply of stock is admitted to be small, owing to the absorption of prom inent Interests who have" perfected or are projecting various deals. "With the holdings of investment interests to be considered, caution nccersarily surrounds bear operations. No important bull pools developed but there were some move ments which had a manipulative appear ance. The best illustration of the narrowness of the market was attested by the changes which occurred in a special stock when ' a large selling or buying order was made. Taking Into consideration the changes In market values that were made through the operations, the paucity of real supply and the Inability of the market to digest easily was apparent. When conditions like this arise general interest in fluctua tions wanes, and the market Is given over to the traders whose operations are of the day-to-day order that produces the general stagnation In financial mar kets the world over. "With the unsettled Chinese situation agitating civilization, measures to recoup the treasuries of the various nations in volved for the Immense sums expended are hard to decide on. American finan ciers are well fortified against possible unusual drain of gold, and banks are steadily strengthening their position by increased circulation. Foreign govern mental institutions arc also pursuing measures to enable them to meet the enormous expenditures of their respective governments. The position of the Bank of England was considerably strengthened by receipts of gold from here and the colonies. Retrenchment, as for some time past, continues to be the policy of the Bank of France. According to trade reports a distinct lmprox'ement is noted in various lines, but the volume of business is not up to the average owing to the unsettled state of leading industries, and usual contraction in a National election period. No essential change occurred In money market condi tions. Payment by the Government by refunding operations and gains from the Interior have practically restored the cash loss te the banks of last week. Stocks moved very Irregularly throughout, but worked lower toward the close on sales by tired holders. Various factors com bined to Infuse activity in special Issues, but although rumors were plentiful no definite news developed. It mattered lit tle to the traders what semblance of truth surrounded special moves as long as they afforded an opportunity for a profitable turn. Foreign support, which last week was an effective backing, was withdrawn and although tales were small, the senti mental effect was an aid to short sellers. The Jxrnd market shows periods of ac tivity and strength, with exceptionally heavy trading in the St. Louis Western Issues. Irregularity became quite marked In the closing days of the week. United States refunding 2s when Issued declined . hut the net 4s advanced 1 per cent In. the bid price. has been coming in almost up to the closing moment, it is not all shown in the week's statement. The export of gold is practically at an end for the present, and probably will not be resumed to an appreciable extent be fore the second week in September, when the third installment of the British ex chequer bonds will have to be provided for. It is possible that England's .need in this direction may lead to an offer of Inducements that may cause the yellow metal to flow in her direction, but in the meantime the supply will be considerably augmented by receipts from the Pacific Coast, so that in any event nothing but an unprecedented demand can cause us even temporary embarrassment. The fact that the New York banks re ceived from the Interior during the week almost 52.000,000 more than was withdrawn gives evidence of a satisfactory condi tion In the Southwest and "West; In fact, reports from those sections seem to indi cate a plentiful supply of money, and lead CANNOT GET TOGETHER SHIPOWNERS AND EXPORTERS ARE IN A DEADLOCK.

The allotment of Treasury Mils has caused firmness in dis count rates on tho stock exchange. The exchange would have closed had it not been for the buying in, which the com mittee has decided was more Important than house extensions. The exchange will probably close September 1. and will llke lv do so again in the near future, in or der to finish the latest extensions. Idle ness rules In almost every department. Consols continue weak, owing to the un certainty Home railroads were mostly steady, and were strengthend by contin ued repurchases. Americans were steady at about parity, closing dull Copper was stead. Nothing- has broken the monot ony ot this weefc. The arrival of 9.500. 0M, of which J8.000.000 was from the United States, strengthened the Bank of England and removed the uneasiness respecting the reserve. The Statist does not expect more United States gold, artd says there is little pros pec ,. of Fueh Improvement in the rate of exchange as te make shipments probable. The paper also thinks there will be an iMtue of some kind of a Russian loan in Paris this Fall, which will cause the transference of French money from Lon don and Berlin to Paris, though not nec essarily leading te shipments of gold.

The New Tork Financier says this week: The leas shewn this week In the cash holdings of the clearing-house banks Has been more than half made up by receipts from the Sabtreasury and by remittances trom them, the total disbursements by the former amounted to J5,ED9,000, and the receipts from Interior banks exceeded shipments by nearly 52.000.000; drafts drawn by the Treasury Department and deposited la New Tork in payment "for geld received at the assay offices on the Pad 8c Coast have contributed slightly to ewell the total gain. It was antici pated that the advance would nearly if not Quite equal last week s loss, and this to the belief that no heavy demand need be expected until very much later than usual. The weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, increase $3,331,875 Loans, increase 2,31S,700 Specie, Increase 4.6OS.300 Legal tenders, Increase 4S3.200 Deposits.

Marder for Robbery. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 23. August F. Fauteck, aged 21, son of Frederick Fau teck, a wealthy farmer, was killed last night In Wyandotte County, across tho river. The evidence points to murder for robbery. The body was found today on enlng the Welland and Canadian Canals the tracks of the Kansas City-Leaven- ' has removed the zreatest obstacle to an worth electric line, where it had. been ( extension of the company's business, and TO BUILD OCEAN SHIPS. Chicngo Shipyards "Will Have the World for a Market. In assuming the contract to build four large steamers for service in the Atlantic Coast trade, says the Chicago Times Herald, the American Shipbuilding Com pany has opened up to Chicago a new field of" Industry that gives promise of big results. Previous to this time all the craft con structed at tho shipbuilding yards of the company in South Chicago have been for use on the Great Lakes only. These yards have long been capable of building steam ers for the coast traffic, and the only hindrance to supplying that class of trade has been .the condition of the Welland. Canadian and St. Lawrence Canals. They have hitherto been so small and the water so shallow as not to permit the passage of steamers of the reaulred di mensions from the lakes to the ocean. In consequence of this difficulty, which for several years seemed insurmountable, no effort was made by the America'n Ship building Company to secure any of the contracts for coast vessels. The comple tion of the work of widening and length the shipbuilding yards along the Groat Lakes have come into competition for the coast steamer trade. President W. L. Brown, of the Ameri can Shipbuilding Company, stated yester day that the four steel steamers which are to be delivered to the owners on the Atlantic Coast with the opening of navi-1 gatlon In the Spring will bo the first craft built at the lake yards to ply in salt water. The opening of the new industry does not interest Chicago alone. The American company has yards at Milwaukee. West Superior, Duluth, Bay City, Detroit, Wy andotte, Buffalo and Lorain, all of which are similarly affected, though some of L them in not so large a degree. The yards at South Chicago are adapted for the construction of the largest steamers that ply the lake waters. Somo of the ships now in constant use in the lake trade have double the capacity of those which are to be built for coast traffic, and while they are altogether suitable for the lat ter class of service, it would be utterly impossible to got them through the canals. - Many steamers that now ply the lakes are of dimensions that would permit of their getting through the can als, and it would be possible to transfer them to the coasting trade.

San Francisco Bos Difficulty In Ac cumulating: Stoclca. J. W. Harrison, the, coal broker of San Francisco, in his circular for the. week ending on Saturday last, says: "During the week there have been six arrivals of coal from "Washington, i8,545 tons; two from British Columbia, 8800 tons; two from Australia, 6760 tons; two from Balti more, 8700 tons; one from Oregon, 200 tone; total 43,005 tons. It we were as sured an equal amount weekly for some months to come, there would be no ground for fear of a fuel shortage, as this Is largely in excess off our weekly demand. Every possible endeavor is be ing made to get sufficient ahead to have a reserve later on for our Fall require ments; so far we have been unsuccess ful. Prices are Arm and deliveries are being taken freely from ship's side on arrival, leaving no accumulation to be yarded. The foreign arrivals cut a very small figure In aiding us. as the cost at original point of shipment, added to the present rate of trans-shipment, make the figures very prohibitory." - for Alaska military line. Steamer for Alaska Cnrrlea the Sup plies North. Today. SAN PRANCIS'CO, Aug. 25. The steam er Orizaba, chartered by the Government from the Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany, sailed from here today for St. Mi chael, with 200 miles of cable aboard, to establish military communication throughout Alaska. The points of con nection will be St. Michael. Unalakllk and Nome. The cable itself weighs about a ton to a mile, and when fully laid will be under Government control. Active work In laying the cable will begin about the middle of September. Marine Notes. The Robert Rlckmers is on the way down the river, and should reach Astoria somo time today. Tho Penthesllea will leave up today. The steamship Oakbranch is duo from Puget Sound today to load lumber at this port. She took a part cargo on the Sound, and is coming around to finish. The British ship Frankistan, which ar rived down at Astoria yesterday, went through fully loaded and drawing 22 feet 10 Inches.

"We want it understood right now that the life of Newberg does not depend on any beet-sugar factory. It it comes our development will be the more swift and certain. If not, we will still develop, and will only approach nearer the level of other Yamhill towna. Right now, with tho only pressed-brlck plant in the state, with the largest lumber mill in this sec tion of the country, with a canning and packing-house in course of preparation, with a successful creamery in operation, with a large flouring mill, a brick factory, two tile mills, an ax-handle factory and other smaller concerns "too numerous to mention," Newberg has more manufac turing Industries than any town In the county. Newberg is not Inactively wait ing for the factory, nor incidentally for "the completion of the Yamhill locks." If we don't get the factory we will get something else. Mark that. It Is a weak brand of enterprise that only spurts for some one great end, and falling In that. subsides Into that "quiet" spirit of peace and tranquility which broods over some Yamhill towns.

Miss Rogers, of Albany, Is visiting at the Vance cottage, near Nye Creek. Mrs. Brenner, of. Albany, is visiting her Strike of Tillamook. Fishermen. Tillamook Headlight. The fishermen on Tlilamook Bay decided on Monday to ask for a raise in the price of salmon and If their demands were refused to go on strike. Unable to get what they wanted from Elmore's cannery or from those who were salting salmon, they did not fish on Monday night, al though there was a good run of fish. All they wanted was 50 cents for large sal mon, 20 cents or sllversldes and 7 cents for chums, which Is a raise of 15 cents, 5 cents and 2V cents respectively upon the price paid the fishermen last season. El more's cannery would have "started up on Tuesday, everything being In readi ness to do so, but was unable to do so owing to the strike, as all the cannery- boats are included In the strike. As this appears to be a reasonable demand on the part of the fishermen, considering the price paid for salmon on the Columbia River, it seems as though the fishermen may be the case actually, but as money placed, evidently to cover up the crime. it is only within tho last 12 months' that i will not recede from their demand.
