THE SUNDAY ORJSGOMAN, , PQBTLANBf SEPTEMBER, 16, 1900.
COMMERCIAL AND
"Wheat, hops, fruit and salmon four of
Oregon's greatest staples are figuring
quite extensively In the trade situation
this week. There has been quite a heavy
selling movement in the cereal, and the
prices paid have been at the top of the
market. In hops, actual sales on new ac
count have not been so numerous, but
there has been In the aggregate -a large
amount of money put In .circulation
through advances paid for picking and
other expenses. The Industry is giving
employment to thousands of people, and
practically all of the money thus paid out
Immediately finds Its way back into cir
culation again. "With the exception of the
past two days, the weather has. been
highly satisfactory for securing the crop
in the best possible condition, and so
Jarge a proportion of It Is already saved
that but little damage can be done in any
event, so far as reducing the yield is
concerned. The outlook for prices-is still
quito flattering, And 15 cents is readily
obtained for select stock.
Prune drying Is also pretty well along,
and those who are favored with good
yields will Teallze handsomely on their la
hors. Italians are selling up to B cents
for 30s to 40s, and some sales of 40s to
50s are reported at 5 cents. The yield" of
Italians, of course, is short, but there are
plenty of French prunes, this variety
showing enormpus yields In some "or
chards. ' "
The Fall salmon season opened Mon
day, with a .good catch reported for the
first few daye. Owing- to the fact that a
good many fishermen are in the habit of
forcing the season for a day or two, the
first day's catch Is not a reliable criterion
lor those which follow. However, the
catch throughout the week held tip very
well, and If thee start made Is maintained
the Fall pack will be of ood proportions.
The price generally reported Is 3 cents
per pound, but there are the usual reports
cl higher prices being paid. .
There Is a weaker feeling In the market
:for oats, growers In the Middle "West sup
plying the Government at Pacific Coast
points at lower prices than Oregon grow
ers will accept. Potatoes are a shade
firmer, and. are selling up to 60. and 65
cents per sack. The only change of Im
portance in the grocery market during the
week Just passed was. an advance of 10
cents In sugar.
WHEAT The wheat market has ruled
steady throughout the week, and the
movement to tidewater .has been much
larger than In any previous week this
season. The foreign market has shown
some improvement, "but, as usuai, the ship
owners were the first to profit by it,
freights advancing early in the week to
-47s 6d. As this was an advance of nearly
2 cents .per bushel over the highest rate
previously paid, it can readily be under
stood why the local market did not share
to the fullest extent In the advance
abroad. At the same time, very little
wheat has been bought at this port, on
the basis of 47s Cd freight, spirited com
petition inducing the exporters to bid
wheat up .simultaneously with the advance
3n freights. The greater part of the wheat
now changing hands was bought on the
ocean freight r&to ih effect a month ago:
not on that which now prevails. The free
movement of the past week, however, has
pretty well covered the cheap tonnage,
and from now on the current freight rates
will govern the situation.
The September crop, repprf, which ap
peared during the week, showed but small
reduction in the .yield indicated, by the
August report. The Government never
commits itself by estimating. the actual
number of bushels in the crop; but taking
the acreage and condition figures shown
In the report and figuring comparatlvely
wlth the output of previous years, we
have an Indicated crop of 50S,733,000
bushels, on an acreage of 43,133,000. The
August report, figured into bushels, show
ed an estimated yield of 513977,000 bushels.
The actual yield for the" past 11 years was
as follows: -
Area, acres.
44.592,516
44,055,278
39,465,066

It is thus apparent that the American
crop nvlll not be far from the average of
the past 11 years, and with the" largest
carry-over stock on record, there will be
a sufficient surplus to meet all demands
for export. There is a possibility that
Europe will not need all of the surplus
which we may have to offer. ' ,
The Ltondon Statist concludes that the
"United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Ger
many, Holland, Spain, Portugal, 1talyf
Greece, Switzerland and Scandinavia will
have to Import for the crop year "August
1, 1900, to August 1, 1901, approximately,
224,000,000 bushels, as against 29S, 000,000 im
ported in the season 1899-1900, being 26,
000,000 excess. To meet these import re
quirements of 324,000,000 bushels, tho Statist
estimates the Russian contribution at 80,
000,000 and that from. Bulgaria, Servla and
Turkey as not over 48,000,000, making 128,
000,000 total from exporting Eastern Eu
rope. America is relied upon for 120,000,
000, which compares with American total
exports last crop year of 180,000,000 and 220,
000,000 previous year.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
LIQUIDATION WAS PLAINLY IN EVI
DENCE YESTERDAY.
Foreign Bonds an Important Feature
Of the American Financial Con
ditionMoney Is Harder.
NEW YORK. Sept. 15. Tho same factors
which caused the break in prices In yes
terday afternoon's stock market continued
1n force today, and more business was
done during the two hours of the Satur
day short session than on any full day
for months. Liquidation was plainly in
evidence, and the bear operators added
their selling to the nurden of the market
In the confidence that lower prices would
enable them to cover at a protlt. The de
clines which they brought about in this
way uncovered many stop-loss orders,
which had been placed in the market as a
precautionary measure by recent specula
tive buyers. The points of weakness made
It evident that the liquidation was largeiy
of speculative accounts. In People's Gas
there Is a large short account already, and
the demand to cover was largo enough to
keep that stock comparatively steady until
nar the close. Otherwise, the weakness
was p,ulte general and evenly distribute
xne principal raiiroau stocks are down
from.l to 1?4, the coalers, grangers. Pa
cific ,nnd trunk lines being the principal
suffeiei.". The steel stocks and the lead
ing spct 'altles show the same range of
Iosae3. These were extended from 2 to 3
points In Sugar, Tobacco, Metropolitan.
General Electric, Northwestern; Erie fint
preferred and Baltimore & Ohio preferred.
The bear traders covered in some stocks,
butj in others the selling continued In
large volume to tho close, which was ac
tive and weak.
The lethargy of the stock market was-
unrelieved during the week, and the lim
ited activity and the narrow movement of
prices were nothing more .than ripples on
the surface of a deep and stagnant pool.
Tho puzzled brokers have seen one and
another assigned causes for the torpidlty
ellmlnated by events, while still the mon
ey world abstained from any dealings
In securities. Last week the Ver
mont election and this week the Maine
election were expected by the sanguine to
start the market, but on neither occasion
was any effect perceptible beyond a half
hour of professional trading. Some posi
tive depression has resulted from the dec
laration of the anthracite miners' strike,
but the effect on prices, even In the group
of coal-carrying railroads, has been small.
While tho possibilities of harm to values
threatened by the strike are fully recog
nized, there Js an optimistic feeling In
Wall street that the disaffection either will
not spread far or will be adjusted before
it goes to extremes.
Tho week's events have resulted In some
hardening of money rates In New York,
and the tone Is significantly firmer. Early
In the week It became known that prep
arations had been made by a number of
the British loan syndicates to ship gold
this week to meet the Installments due
on subscriptions to the loan, but tho vol
ume of cotton bills brought on tho ex
change market broke the rate and frus
trated the Intention to ship gold. Ap
parent the British loan syndicate Is un
der a contingent or Implied obligation to
facilitate gold shipments, and with "fur
ther Installments due on subscriptions in
tho middle of next month and of Novem
ber, there will recur the possibility of
gold shipments. Later In the week it was
announced that New York bankers had
subscribed to a new German loan to the
amount of $20,000,000. Experts estimate
that the country's credit balance abroad
Is ample to meet such a subscription by
drawing exchange without gold ship
ments, but-it -was-assumed that the sub
scriptions are to be paid, In part, at least,
in gold, as In the case of the British ex
chequer bonds subscribed for here, the
transactions being In tho nature of a spe
cial contract to meet tho urgent need of a
replenishment of gold reserves,.
This surmise was strengthened by the
fact that the principal bank among the
subscribers held upward of $10,000,000 sur
plus cash above the legal reserve, and 85
per cent of Its reserve was In gold. As
this bank's $10,000,000 surplus makes up
that ratio to $26,000,000 of the total sur
plus of all the 63 clearing-house banks,
the face of the New York money market
Is materially altered. London, also, has
suddenly awakened to the realization that
the Bank of England has acted with fore
knowledge. In its vigorous opposition to
the policy of lenders in the outside mar
ket, and London discount rates have turn
ed upward. The new German loan has as
a background the large Russian loan
seeking a market, and further British
omissions of some kind for military ex
penditures. It is evident, also, that while
New York banks have. been expanding
their loans to foreign borrowers, the de
mands, upon the New York market have
heen largely met by interior banks out of
their abundance, so that now, with the
movement of the crops, the Fall demand
upon New York for funds Is approaching
the normal.
- Operations under the refunding law
have practically ceased, and with them
the resultant benefit to the money market.
The question of a squeeze In money rates
In New York depends upon these factors,
and the further receipts of Alaskan and
Australian gold. JBut the mere existence of
the question unsolved effectually discour
ages speculation In the New York stock
market, where memories are still fresh of
last December's raoneypanlc

NEW YORK FINANCES.
Increased Circulation Belnff Taken
Out by the Banks.
NEW YORK, Sept. IS. The Financier
says:
The two factors outlined In this paper's
analysis of the New York bank state
ment a week ago namely, the rapid ex
pansion in loans and reduction in cash
holdings in response to Interior crop de
mandshave resulted in a further shrink
age of the surplus reserve of the clear
ing house institutions for the current six
day period. The loss in cosh was $4.U54.
200, traceable for tho most part to ship
ments of currency by the banks, although,
they also lost In the routine operations
with the Subtreasury. A3 an ordinary
rule, the reduction in cash lowers re
serve requirements to a certain extent by
lessening deposits, but in the present in
stance loans expanded over $7,000,000 and
as deposits actually Increased 11,063,500,
the reserve requirements are something
like a quarter of a million higher than
a week ago, and tho surplus shows a fall
of $5,220,175, bringing the total to $20,836,
175. This, however, 13 $20,500,000 over tho
excess at this time last year and about
$16,500,000 larger than in 1S9S Tho re
ceipts In the loan Item were larger thair
expected, and certify to the usual expla
nations, cannot be accounted for by tha
operations of a few large banks. In fact,
the increase Is rather well distributed.
Stock Exchange business has not been,
heavy enough to call for the expansion,
and commercial Interests have shown only
ordinary activity. International operations
and business with the Interior are prob
ably responsible for tho heavier totals.
For all that, present loans are heaviest la
the history of the clearing house and de
posits are nearly at a maximum, money
rates are still easy, and show but few
signs of hardening. A repetition of tha
current statement, however, will doubt
leflsly have a decided influence on tho
market. The placing of a new German
loan at this center will not disturb the
situation other than temporarily, as pres
ent arrangements do not favor an ac
tual export of specie.
The current balance In favor of tho
United States is steadily growing from
month to month, and will amount to
much higher figures before the close of
the year. The banks are still taking out
new circulation, the week's gain having
been $373,000.
The German Loan.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Tho Eveningf
Post says:
Subscriptions to the German Govern
ment loan were reported in considerable
volume today, although official circulars
giving the details will not be Issued today.
New York subscriptions for small blocks
indicate that a good portion of the loan
will be held for investment purposes. Thlsr,
shows that tho notes will probably bo re
tained In this country.
A point of chief interest today con
cerned the likelihood of another loan, in
duced by Germany's need of further war
funds'. Av banker familiar with the nego
tiations knew of no auch contingency, and
pointed out that a- further appeal for
American subscriptions would depend on
tho attitude of the syndicate engaged, in
financing the present loan.
