THE SUXDAY OBEGOKIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST m i l n n i i Tl 1 26, 1900. COMMERCIAL AND Business for the month of August Is iolding up to very satisfactory propor tioaji, end nearly all lines show a sub stantial increase over the corresponding JxjMod last year. This is in a measure doe to the early harvest, "which has put & considerable amount of money in cir culation much earlier than usual. The end of the wishing- season has also aided Sn swelling the trade returns,, for, -while the pack is a little short, the nigh prices paid for the raw material have given the BBhennen snore money to spend than usual. A. few days of ct -weather in the Interior has started the -wheat flowing to the -warehouses, and there is also not lable increase in the receipts at tide water. Fruit is reaching the market in quanti ties -which at times threaten to cause a serious break in prices. Peaches have been in exceptionally large supply dur ing hc past week, and some ordinary stock sold very low, "with COc generally quoted as an outside figure for best stock yesterday. Butter is -weak under Sieavy receipts, and there Is not much life In the poultry market. Eggs are eteady at the figure around which they have lingered for several -weeks. Re ceipts of veal have been so large recently that the price has declined to c for the very best, with most of the receipts moving slow at less money. Pork Is firm at quotations. There is some activity in (hops, and considerable new-crop contract ing is "being done at from So to 10c per jwund. Xate contracts reported by Hans C "VVahlberg, of this city, are as follows: "Woatherford & Bump, King's Valley. 20 M pounds, at 10 cents. W. S. McKinley, Sllverton, 10,000 pounds, at 10 cents. F. G. Davis, Sllverton, 16,000 pcunds, at 10 cents. J. W. Perkins. North Tamhill, 14,000 pounds, at 10 cents. ' Win. Brush, Macksburg, 10,000 pounds, at 10 cents. W m. Boston,, Sherwood, 3000 pounds, at S cents. X.. P. Haward, Canby, C000 pounds, at 10 -cents. lahlqulst & Johnson, Ostrander, Wash.. 12,000 pounds, at 9 cents. John H. Larson, Ostrander, Wash., 4003 pounds, at 3i cents. "WHEAT The v. heat market is slowly getting under way. but the presence of suchi a large amount of -wheat on spot at ithe close of last season has had a tr ndency to prevent much activity, as ex Vorters have been In no need of wheat tmd were Indifferent about taking hold of It except at about export figures. At competitive points in the Interior there "has been the usual warehouse "scrap ping;" which has occasionally resulted in prices being run up to figures approach ing 00c por bushel at tidewater, although the foreign market has not for several (months warranted such a figure, with freights hanging around 45s. which is as cheap as is obtainable at the present time. As Spring grain is being threshed, reports are less favorable as to qual ity, and in some sections east of the mountains there is considerable shrive.ed grain. The San Francisco Commercial News reports the situation in California as follows: Harvesting In California is nearly completed, and returns show no material improvement. The coaBt and bay lands Mill give a yield below the average in both quantity and quality; and, although the quality in the Sacramento Valley -will be fairly good, the amount turned out will not bo over an average. The San Joaquin Valley, however, will prob ably swell the amount considerably. Owing to the deadlock existing between shippers and shipowners in the local mar ket, a quiet state of affairs prevails. Millers are likewise doing but little busi ness. Exports this season amount to fc&,235 centals. j POKTLAKD MAUICETS. Grain, Flour, Etc.

Wheat opened steady on a little bull sentiment left over from yesterday, but the remainder of the session saw the bears in tho ascend ant. Trade was Quiet, and throughout there was a fair amount of liquidation, both local and outside. Liverpool cables -Kere- not encouraging, and tho bearish sentiment was further encouraged by clearing weather in the Northwest. Min neapolis was weak, and this fact had considerable to do with sentiment here. The decline at Minneapolis was taken to mean an Improvement in Northwest con ditions, although reports received here Rere as gloomy as ever. It was ex plained after it was all over that the Minneapolis decline was due to Minne apolis elevator people, who changed tho seat of their operations, buying In Chi cago and selling In their own local mar ket, which was Sc over Chicago.

Increase Sue to the Issues Under tbe Refunding Law. New York'Journal'of Commerce."1 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The fact 'lhat the bank note circulation was swelling rapidly under tho impulse of the refund ing law has been set forth from time to time in the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin. A systematic study of the movement of the circulation is likely to prove interesting, now that, five months have elapsed slnco the refunding law took effect and 'the pet circulation secured by bonds has increased nearly 5.60,00(1,000. The best point of departure for calculating the effect-of the new law is really the beginning of, the calendar year 1900 rather than the actual date when President McIClnley affixed his signature to the gpld-standard law and. handed the pen to Representative Overatreet, of In diana The effect of the new law in making clrculatlonmore profitable was "discounted", as usual "under the modern financial system, as soon as the refunding plan was made public and operated to call a halt in the reduction of circulation and to accelerate the upward ,m6vement which had just begun. The' following table shows the downward tendency of the live circulations secured by bonds un "til the close of 1899, 4 and the rapid 'up ward movement which has since taken place: .';- . ' .

The increase In the deposits of lawful money for the pur pose of retiring circulation seems to have been due in part to misapprehensions of the operation of the refunding law or to measures taken by tho banks to substi tute new bonds for those which were not available as a basis of circulation. All these things'' could have' been dpne by siinple transfers and 'without the 'de posit of lawful money after the refund ing law took effect, but this was not entirely clear while the bill was going through its various stages. Some of the banks, therefore,, appear to have with drawn their bonds and deposited lawful money to retire their circulation, with the intention at the proper time of deposit ing the new 2 per cents as an indepen dent deposit. The fact that the lawful money fund in tho Treasury for the withdrawal of circulation has been stead ily declining since the beginning of May indicates that new deposits of lawful money are not large, and that the bank note circulation will gradually become nearly ail of the active character secured by "bonds, where the notes are reissued as fast as they are received for redemp tion. - ' The bank note circulation has not yet reached the amount to which the banks are entitled upon their bond deposits. The last figures given in the first column of, the table would stand at 5295,985,130 if' all the bonds pledged to the Treasury were represented by notes outstanding. This difference of nearly 58,000,000 will be grad ually reduced as the Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing catches up with its long list of orders for new plates. The gap will probably never be absolutely closed, because a- few of the big citi banks comply with the mandatory re quirement to deposit 550,000 In bonds, but do not take out the notes to which they are entitled. A restricted allowance of notes upon the extended 2-per-cent bonds may also account for some difference be tween the circulation and tho bonds pledged, but this disturbing influence will soon disappear with the redemption of these bonds. The increase in live circu lation secured by bonds since January 1 may be ascribed to the increase to par of the bonas pledged at the beginning of the year to the amount of about 520,000,000 and to new deposits of bonds, permitting circulation to par, to the amount of near ly 5S,000,000. The bonds pledged to se cure circulation have been transformed Into the new 2 per cents at a remarkable rate. The 2 per cents now constitute about 85 per cent of all the "bonds pledged for circulation, but a considerably smaller per cent of those pledged In Washington to secure deposits of public money with the banks.

Discrimination Established' in Porto Rico Precedent Seems TJirwiso and Unjust. While I have not before me the Treaty with Spain, and must depend largely upon memory. If may be profitable to disoussjts general features as I under stand .them. By tha Treaty with Spain, by which peace was established with her, x:e se cured Porto Rico and the -Philippine Ar chipelago for the purchase price of 520, 000,000, "which -treaty contained certain grant and cessions and secured to Spain trade with these islands practically free or on equal terms with the United States for 10 years, thereby substantially re lieving them from import duties usually levied on products from all other na tions, fDr that term. It has been-a mat ter of considerable discussion In Con gress, Jn reference to the policy to bo adopted towards Porto Rico, and inci dentally with the evident purpose uf es tablishing a precedent for the Philippine Archipelago, and Is therefore- a question of serious import and will require the careful consideration . of every states man that has the interest of his coun try at heart, and particularly of those representing the people who live upon the Pacific Slope, with whom trade ind commerce is likely to be established with, these islands. . 1 Disguise it as we may, under the com mon law of humanity, or otherwise, we, like all other great, progressive commer cial nations, are seeking new markets and an outlor for our increasing prod ucts of farm and factory. New and ex panding trade Is what we 3eek for our Increasing population. When we as a natlbh lose this desire and ambition, wo, juu aegenerate and go into decay, and other nations more ambitious will out strip us in the race for supremacy. It has ever been the case, that the nations that contnrtho commerce of the world aro the ones most prosperous and' wealthy. With trado-and .commerce they prosper. It is important that products, especially of the Pacific States, snould ho exported to these islands free of custom duties, if wo ever expect to build up, a commerce with them, and receive in exchange the products of their industry. It is well known that their products are dissimi lar In character from ours, and we can well afford to exchange the products of the soil of the Pacific States for those of these islands. It is stated that our Treaty with Spain, by which wo purchased these islands for the consideration of 520,000,000, and sub stantially free trade between Spain and these Islands for 10 years, places us Un der the obligation to extend the same privileges, or free trade, to other na tions, under the clause that they would be entitled to tho same privileges "as the most favored nations," under their treaty stipulations. By this treaty we made a purchase, certa'In concessions were continued and guaranteed, and un restricted trade was also substantially guaranteed to Spain for the 10 years. These concessions and guarantees were a3 much a part of the purchase price of these possessions as the 520,000,000. With these, other nations have nothing to do, and had no right to question. It differs entirely from an ordinary com-i mercial treaty. This was substantially a bill of purchase with certain conditions aftached, consequently the most-favored clausdusually in commercial treaties has no application In this case. The Presi dent was undoubtedly right in recom mending that the same revenue laws should be extended over Porto Rico as were in force in the other territories of the United States, and while a majority in Congress determined otherwise, to which decision he cheerfully acquiesced, trusting to future legislation for a prop er remedy (thereby preventing a divis ion in his party). The sound judgment of the Republican party can be safely trust ed Ultimately to determine the future policy, favorable to these new possessions. I am 'one' who cannot interpret this treaty or bill of purchase as a treaty coming within the category that would "entitle other nations to the same free trade privileges as Spain. For these rea sons I do not see that it Is necessary to take into consideration other nations in reference to our custom duties, therefore I do not see the necessity of tho prece dent that has been established In- the Porto Rico case, whereby they have lev led a 15 per cent duty of the Dingley tariff, unless it were to set an example, but this inaugurates a system of dis crimination against trade with these new possessions' in the Pacific and prevents us from enjoying the advantages of a re ciprocal trade between these islands and the Pacific shores. To my mind I havo not been able to see the justice of establishing these ar bitrary laws for new territories or colo nies that may be or have been acquired under treaties of purchase. In the case of the Louisiana purchase and the Treaty with Mexico, by which we acquired Ore gont California and New Mexico, and by purchase in treaty with Russia, by Which we .acquired Alaska, the custom revenue and internal revenue laws have been extefrded over them as over each of the states of the Union. Why Porto Rico should be favored specifically by be ing exempt from Internal revenue on rum when each state of the Union and other territories are charged 51 10 a gallon on whisky, is a discrimination which would seem to be injudicious and Improper. Why the internal revenue laws should be ignored (which would probably pro duce more revenue than the 15 per cent of tho Dingley tariff) and the 15 per cent of tho Dingley tariff be substituted, is a difficult problem for the common mind logically to determine. The time will soon arrive when wo must determine on a distinctive policy "for these newly acquired possessions, and in determining that policy, we must be just, equitable and fair, as between the United States and these island pos sessions, which should be uniform with that 'of every other territorial possession acquired or held by the United States. If we expect peace and prosperity with them,- we must bo just. If we levy taxes upon these people, not levied upon other states or other territories belonging to the United States, we must expect them 'to, rebel against such taxes-. The sooner Ju'st and equitable laws are enacted and executed the sooner we will inspire these new possessions with confidence in our Integrity, that we intend to deal justly and equitably with them, as with all other portions of the country over which our flag floats. These people are sufficiently Intelligent to know and judge whether they are dealt with with the same even-handed justice as all other portions of the coun try, and the sooner they knbw that we are doing this, the sooner ithey will be willing-to lay down their arms. When they are allowed a Representative in Con gress to plead their cause, even without a vote, as other territories are 'allowed, they will enlighten their community of the justice and equity with which their Representative and their interests are treated at the National capital. In the practical solution of this ques tion, It must be done in a statesmanlike, just and equitable manner, making the load equally light for all to bear. H. W. CORBETT. ' Doomed to Destruction.

Captain Saylor's Annual Report Has Been Revised, to Conform to Sew '' Conditions For Bis: Ships. "WASHINGTON, Aug. 0. The War1 De partment is going ahead just as If IU wns the Intention of Congress to construct the ditch at Seattle, connecting Lakes Union and "Washington. The land has been acquired, and an appropriation of $170,000 is still available to carry on the work. It is very likely that the coming Congress will see efforts made to secure additional money in order o carry out tho project. In fact, the annual report of Captain Taylor, concerning the Seattle ditch, has been revised. Tho first report contained- only the information that has been in all the reports -heretofore, but since it was made the land Involved has been acquired, and he revised tho annual report to make it conform .to the new conditions., A great deal of old mstter is struck out and considerable new mat ter inserted. It states that tho land has been deeded and that heretofore, while the matter was held In abeyancev It was not practical to make detailed plans. Now the project has been prepared, and is sub mitted in this annual report, which, pro vides for: Dredging through the flats outside Sal mon Bay to a lock In the lower end of Schutsole Bay; The construction of another lock; Dredging inside the lock through Sal mon Bay, and the dredging- of a canal b from the upper end of Salmon Bay to Lake Union; Also dredging! to the eastern end of Lake Union, and the construction of a canal between Lake Union "and Lake Washington. It provides also for a lock of larger di mensions than was first suggested. It It asserted in this connection by other offi cers that it is understood that James J. Hill Intends to construct ships as large as any nowi afloat, and he wants this canal large enough So that they may enter it. There has been no restriction as to the dimensions, and in the new plans submitted the canal is ta be of a width of 100 feet, and to be sufficient tq admit vessels drawing 30 feet of water. The navy wants a canal this largo so as to .take advantage of tha afresh water for naval vessels. This is one of the- reason why it was considered necessary to cut the Seattle ditch so that naval vessels plying in Puget Sound could get Into fresh water. The original estimated cost of the canal, exclusive of the right of way, was ?1,781,1G7. It is believed that under the present conditions, the canal can be constructed at a- greater depth for this amount. Washington Rlveri nnd Ilarbori. Captain Harry Taylor., in charge of tho river and harbor Improvements in Wash ington, has, tendered his report of opera tions during the month of July. The projects in Washington are for the most part at a standstill, but on a few of the larger ones work is going forward With all possible speed. Gray's Harbor. "At the present time there are no addi tional funds available for carrying on the improvement at this point, but several contracts have been let which are" far from fulfilled. During the past month pile-'drivlng was continued on the trestle work of the Jetty, and the trestle was advanced 752 feet, tho mattress work fol lowing closely, so that at tho end of the month it was but 120 feet behind the piles. In the period reported, 31.2G0 tons of rubble stono were delivered and un loaded, which succeeded in advancing the enrockment for 721G feet in all. Dur ing August the trestle will i)e advanced 650 feet, and the mattress work pushed the same distance. Thirty thou sand tons of stone will be delivered, and placed in position. The Seattle Ditch. "As yet the $170,000 appropriated for constructing the waterway connecting LAkes Union and Washington with Puget Sound has been undisturbed, although all of the right of way has now been ac quired, and the Government has been released, from liability of damage. The project for the expenditure of the above funds has been submitted, and prelim inary work of construction of the canal is expected to begin some .time during August. Other Improvements. "Snagging, which was kept up during July, will continue in the Skagit River, particularly in that section ordinarily navigated, a stretch of 44 miles. THeTml ance avaiable is ?31,2SS. "On the Willapa, Chahalls, Okanogan and Pend d' Oreille Rivers. Olympla. and Everett Harbors, and Swinomlsh Slough, nothing was done in the way of improve ments during July, and nothing is con templated along those lines in tha near future. In the case n of. Everett, and Olympla. Harbors, and "the" Pend1 d'Qrellle Rivers, the funds have been, practically exhausted, which renders further opera tions impossible until the now river and harbor bill Is passed at the comipg ses sion. On the other streams, the funds are insufficient, or the projects have been completed." Women as Sailors. Chicago Tribune.

Wai Doll Given Her Ai a Fraction "t Joke, With Fatal Result. Chicago Tribune, August 2, Mrs. Lillian Eby, SOS Sixty-ninth atreet, was named in tho ll3ts the other day at thoso who had died as victims of tho heat. That was an error. It was not; tha heat that killed her; it was a joke, inno cent in intent, but shifting sharply to a tragedy in Its results, A largo doll, recumbent, with Its me chanical eyes closed, and its waxan cheeks the counterfeit of death, was handed to Mrs. Eby in place of her own, baby. When she caught sight of lta closed eyes she fell In a swoon, and the next day she died as a direct result of tho fright. In this war three families havo beer thrown into mourning as tho outcome o what had been intended for a little- futt at the young wife's expense. Mrs. Eby -was but 22 years old, and. it was her first child. 3he and her husband, John A. Eby, havo been living for threo years in Englawood, near tha residence? of Mr. Eby's mother, which is TWO Union, avenue. Three months ago a daughter was born to them, and they were pre paring to visit Mrs. Eby's old home ln Nappanee, Ind., when the incident oc curred that proved fatal to the mqther She had been malting many" plans for taking the child to- see its grandparents. Mr. Eby's sister, Mrs. Ralph Perry, lives atThirty-ntnth street and Indiana. avenue, and -Mrs. Eby took the baby there one afternoon early last week for a visit. She- was accompanied by her mother-in-law and her sister, Mrs. Mar tin Eby. Mrs. Perry lives on the second floor, and her mother-in-law on tha floor below. The women were together.- hoverinff over the baby in tha parlor. Suddenly in a spirit of fun, and being anxious to 3how the baby to her relative below, Mrs. Perry took up tho child from tho lap of Its mother and went down -stairs. Thero she found a little girl laying with a large doll, but when the child saw tho real baby she lost interest and put the plaything aside. "I guess we'll trade your dolly for a. real little baby," said the child's mother, a caller. Then it was suggested, "Just to sea what Mrs. Eby would say," that they take the doll back to her In place of tho baby. A handkerchief was thrown over Its face, and Mrs. Perry carried it baclc up-stairs. Mrs. Eby had grown Impa tient at being separated from her baby so long and ran across the room, to tako it; in her arms. The first view she caught as she drew back the cloth was of the dolUs closed eyes. Sho sank tc tho floor with a moan. "My, how you frightened me!" sho said, realising that It was a joke. Bu,t sho was seized with convulsions which iasted half an hour. She said afterwards, when she recovered consciousness, that the im pression that her baby was dead cama and went like a flash of lightning. In an, instant almost she knew it was a doll and. not bS baby. Yet the terror hatt taken effect, and the harm was wrought The shock had gono deeper than waB' thought at first even by Dr. Thoma3 J. Jackson, whom the family called in. Dr. Jackson assured the family thatt after a night's rest Mrs. Eby would prob ably be ail right. He advised taking her home, and an ambulance was called. Dur ing the night Mrs. Eby had frequent con vulsions, and her husband and mother sat up with her constantly They caliqdV in another physician. Dr. Norton, but he was not alarmed about the case. Ha had promised to .call the next day at noon, and-the family was anxiously wilt ing for him when Mrs. Eby was seized with a moro -violent convulsion and died. In tho various attacks; she had com plained that she Was being pursued through tho various placps with which she was familiar by a doll with closed eyes. Mrs. Perry was distracted when she found the result of the Joke had been so serious. Her sister-in-law, she thought, had always been strong and well, and it did not occur to her that the Pleasantry df handing her a large doll In place of her baby wourd have mor.e Berjnus result than to cause her to laugh a little -with tho rest of the family. Mrs, Perry was not blamed by the husband o the d?,Ad woman, but she has contlrtued to up braid herself until at one time It was feared she might lose her reasbn. Tho caso has attracted attention fronx tho physicians, who sav it is an extreme ly singular one. Dr. Norton pronounced death due to neuralgia of the heart. Mrs. Eby had had fainting spells at times be fore this, and It rs believed there waa some trouble with her heart. Mrs. Eby was born in Nappanee, where her parents still live. Her maiden namo was" Eby. and she was a second cdusm. to her husband. Her sister married her husband'3 brother, Martin Eby, and they live at 7149 Union avenue. Mrs, Ufcya baby, a bright little girl, resembling Its mother, after whom It is to be named "Lillian." will be taken to Nappanee by the grandparents. Mrs. Eby wa3 burtsd there on Sunday.
