r& COMMERCIAL AN- Decided weakness In-the 'Wheat markets an4 considerable strength in nearly all other products were the principal features of thetrade sltuatton-Tor the week ending- -yesterday. The- weather has been less favorable for outdoor work than t was on the week previous, but It has vastly Improved the demand for "Winter' goods, and trade In all seasonable staples has been excellent. The' bop market is J steaay, out inactive, and tne stock has, been so well sold out that, there "was not much offering- during the past week. The woolgrowers who were flgprlng .on an Immediate Increase la the value for-wool following the election of McKlnley are not exactly satisfied with results to date, although there has been some Improve ment In the demand and prices are a shade higher in the East. Receipts of potatoes have been rather light during the week and the price has stiffened up a little. There is an excellent shipping de mand for onions and select stock is Arm and higher, selling up to $1 25 and $1 30 per CentaL The poultry markets, which have been In bad shape for nearly a month, -were still -weak at the close ef business yes terday, and a considerable number of coops of chickens were carried over. Tur- J keys sold a little better yesterday for choice stock. There were large quantities of game on the market throughout the week, and this materially aided In weight-J Ing down the market for poultry. An 'advance In eggs in the East Is reflected In higher prices locally for Eastern stocky and Oregon ranch eggs are In great de mand at top quotations. Best Eastern eggs now sell at 25c. and from that figure down as low as 20a according to quality. Receipts of pork have been a little 'more liberal during he past week, but prices are holding steady. Veal Is a . shade easier. REHEAT A few sales, of Walla Walla wheat were reported yesterday at 54o, "but there is not very much business doing. The foreign markets remained stationary yesterday, and there was a slight decline in New York. The weaker feeling In freights is of material benefit in prevent ing the price dropping in the local mar ket, foe there is a fair amount of lonnage. offering at much lower prices than were paid when the foreign wheat market was at Its best. No new tonnage engagements were reported during- the week, and tho J recent arrivals In the river hayp enabled exporters to keep their docks from burst ing. Ther Is an Immense amount of wheat on spot, but if the December .fleet comes In on tune no serious blockade wi'i. ensue. The "Willamette "Valley Is figuring quite prominently in the Portland market. as a buyer of Walla "Walla wheat, several carloads going up the Valley during the week- Despite their costly exjjerjence of the?past season, the Valley farmers have in a large acreage ofi wheat, and with mvu.auic n emitter ui vauey win snow up In old-time form with a' big crop next season. There is also a big acreage of wheat east of the mountains, and condi tions thus far have been highly favora ble fer 1L The condition of the Ameri can wheat crop in the East and Middle West is thus reviewed by the Cincinnati Prjce Current: Weather conditions during- the past week have been highly favorable for tho growing crop of Winter wheat. Tho tem perature has been very mild for the time of year, and there is an ample, supply of moisture for the present. If it wore not for the presence of the fly larvae in much of ttp early-sown wheat the pros pects could not .be much better. As colder weather approaches there will be less talk of fly. to be renewed next Spring, when Its Influence can be more definltely determlned than now. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Etc.

" "ChfcsTRO Gralir hnd Producer" CHICAGO, Nov. 17. Wheat was moder ately acttvjB and maintained its recently '-acquired" reputation for making a new low-Drice record every day. The nit was a iltMe better than half "occupied by 1 ..at ... IfcA- ...il--' j .OJ . 1.-.. I uiscourusea uuus huu uouuueui uea.13, whose operations drove prices a blt"deeper In the mud. "News" was scarce. December opened higher, shorts covering moderately because cables' did not In any way reflect .the decline here. The "bulge met no sup port of"any magnitude and consequently the market droPDed heavily to 70?iia70c. jShorta -had .$old with, such complete aban- aonjnent. xpjj(je;lr.DSex ip, ncavjpiosits and a slack demand, that rumors that' OREGrONIASr, P0KI,A2B, additional mls .would reopen in, Minne apolis owing- to a better demand for flour sent them to cover. Under buying of this sort, December rallied sharply to 71c. There was plenty of the cereal for sale on the advance, and a reaction followed. December closed weak, He under yester day, at 7171c Corn 'was quiet and steady. Offerings were JJberal at the start, but were well taken by local bulls and later the supply and demand was nicely balanced In the pit. December closed unchanged, at 334 35Hc The market for oats was Arm. Decem- I ber closed He higher, at 21j822c Provisions were again easier, with tne same exception In favor of November ribs which was noticeable yesterday. The price for this commodity at the close was 57 62. Futures were depressed by a lib eral run of hogs and a drop In prices, at the stockyards.

LONDON, Nov. 17. Viewing the rela tive positions In London and New York, the Statist says: "The attitude of the Bank of England and of the discount market, and of the maintenance In tho open market of the rate of 4 per cent, have fully justified the. trqst that this policy will continue. At the moment it is true. New York ex change has risen much above the gold point biit that Improvement Is apparent ly due to temporary causes, large sales of securities to New York, having created a large amount of excitement As this stock is unpaid for, and as London is .rather buying than selling securities, the future movement of exchange may be In the opposite direction, and we may have to pay for securities bought as well as for the enormous quantities of produce now Importing. "Those in a position to form an opin ion; as to whether or not we shall have to send gold to New York, declare that further gold shipments are most unlike ly. While duo weight is given to this opinion, we must not altogether ignore that tho rivals of trade and speculation In the United States may enable the Americans to use their money more profit ably at home than Ih London." The Investors' Review says: "Tho ad vance in the price of silver early In the week was due to a French order for 30,000 IcIIps. After relapsing, it recovered on Eastern buying. The mere fact that such a Bmall orcjer had so much influence Is evidence that the market is not over burdened with supplies." Eiporti and Imports. NEW YORK. Nov, 17.

Ono of the most delightful features of tho evening was the marked dramatic tal ent shown by Mrs. Maud Pennington in two splendid recitations.

Yesterday's defi nite resumption of strength" In the secu rities market and the evidence or largo and aggressive buying for investment had an Influence upon speculative senti ment today that the most sanguine could scarcely have foreseen. Such speculative excitement as that at the opening has been rarely seen in tho history of that institution. The brokers had orders to buy In large "amounts, without any price limit apparently. Such orders were sheer recklessness in a market where stocks' -are as strongly held as at present, and tne sensational advances which resulted were almost Instantaneously lost. The urgency of the bidding gave color to tho supposition that a larger short interest was in process of closing out by forced buying. There has been more or less short selling at Intervals ever since the election, and uncovered bear accounts were In a perilous state. The advance in a few Individual stocks was sensational. Consolidated Gas sold for 5201 and Tennessee Coal sold at 76 to TIM, rising afterward to 44 points over last night. General Electric jumped 5 pojnts, which Is less than its average daily rise for several days. This specu lative excess quickly brought Its penalty. In the eager selling pressure Induced by those high prices, and the relapse was so violent as to awaken uneasiness. The re lapse carried prices back to within a fraction of last night, and in some con spicuous cases. notably Pennsylvania, prices fell below. But after the appear ance of the favorable bank statement buS'ing was renewed with confidence, and prices were again lifted. In some cases to the -best, making the closing active and strong. No special Influence could be as signed as to the cause of the large de mand, tho movement being based evident ly on confidence in the comprehensive na ture, of conditions making for prosperity and large earnings In all branches of business and Industry. There has been considerable abatement this week In the Inordinate speculation in stocks, which threatened last week to ex tend to reckless extremes and to run the money market into a squeeze by putting too much money in speculative holdings of stocks'. Selling to secure profits by the more cautious and Increasing boldness in the bear attacks on the market at last caused a reaction. This forced out some of the weak sipeculatlve accounts, -which made the market topheavy and discouraged tho headlong rush of outsiders to buy. The class of speculators whom nothing attracts but a sensational upward surge of prices have" been- much lees In evi dence this week, but It has become evi dent that a third body of buyers has been waiting for the reaction In prices to come Into the market, confident in tho intrinsic value of securities and the soundness of the Industrial and financial outlook, but fearful that over-speculation was Inflating the prices of stocks and endangering the stability of values. The market has thus found active sup port at the decline, and has regained Its equilibrium. The" fact that no registra tion or exact record Is made of transac tions .on the Stock Exchange, except by the parties immediately concerned, gives the opportunity for unwarranted state ments regarding the proportions of the market. On Monday of this week the total sales were 1,648,000 shares, according to tho most reliable estimates, but for the week ending Tuesday evening conservative es timates showi thafnioro shares were sold than in any previous period in the his tory of tho exchange. Tho total amounted to 7,594,934 shares. For the week ending January 27, 1899, tho aggregate sales were 7,432,555 shares. As for bond sales, tho I total has not reached 56 000.000 par value on any any since -the election, while the record stands at about 511,000,000 par value. As for the record of sustained periods of activity, the sales of stocks were constantly over a. million snares a day In January, 1S99. During the same period the bond sales were between 530, 000,000 and 540,000,000 a week par value. An almost equally sustained bond market was that of April, 1S9, wheh tfce hordes 'of new Industrial securities were offered on the market. It will thus be seen that the speculation has hardly attained the unbridled character of some former periods. The memory of the results following the speculation of 1899 In industrials has not been without Influence this week in Wall street. An apprehension grew up ih tho street after the collapse of the industrial boom In 1899 that those properties as a, uiaso nuum na.o 10 gu snrougu an expe rience similar to that of railroad compa nies following tho excesses of capitaliza tion and stock-Jobbing of the construction enu The. list of American railways that have been In bankruptcy and reorganiza tion Is a long one. The standards estab lished consequently of publicity and In formation regarding expenses, revenues and finances of railroad companies and the light given to purchasers of the stock and lenders of money on the securities make a strong contrast to the Informa tion allowed to the public regarding the great industrial combinations. This in many cases Is confined to bare statements of net edrnlngs. The effect upon public confidence is evident from the low prices Jn the "market of many of the Industrial stocks on which good dividends are paid and for which sufficient earnings are re- pottted-to continue dividends?' The general knowledge of revival of business activity and good demand at ad vancing prices for the product of the in dustrial combines have dissipated some of the dtstrust felt toward- them. The absence, as a rule, oC heavy fixed charges ta be met before earnings -are available for dividends on stocks of Industrials, however, meet some objections to them.'

NEW YORK FINANCES, Clenrlntr-Honae Rank- Show a Gats' aX"Over Flye MtHfbii In Cnah. . NEW YORK, Nor. J.7. The Flnanclea says: The New York clearing-house madfi an unexpectedly good showing forvthe week ending November 17, cash increases hav ing surpassed all .expectations Tho gain footed up 53,205,300, divided almost equal ly between legal tenders and specie. Tho increase was due, for the most part, to operations with the Treasury, although it is known that Nexy York gained, appre ciably during the week from, tha Interior. Then, too, a portion of belated gold im ports figured In the reserve item. With this strong condition as a basis, tho bank3 were able to stand the swelling of their other- totals without trouble, ana as the expansion in loans was also under all previous calculations, they closed tho week with 53,053,725 added to their excess reserve, bringing the total to 57,660,775. The slowness with which the loans of the banks respond to- the enormous stock ex change expansion noted since November 7 is a rather puzzling feature, and ono that Is variously explained. It is quits probable that there has been liquidation which does not show in the statement except to minimize the influence of tho new business being done. At tho beginning of the revival In stock exchange activity during January, 1S99, the same peculiarity in tho loan item was shown, almost: In a period of three or four weeks following loans moved up over 520,000,000. At that time tho expla nation now often used, namely, tha heavy volume of Investment buying, was advanced. It is probable that the loan and cash fluctuations will within the next few months show some interesting phases, but a continued heavy increase in surplus reserve would appear to be an anomaly In the face of prevailing condi tions. The deposits of the banks ro3e 58,578,'X)0-r last week. a3 a result of the changes al- ready noted, and this, added to the 52,1. 575 for legal reserve requirements, ex plains why the increase la surplus was not so large as the gain in cash. Tho money market has not been affected to any extent by the revival In business since election. Tha circulation of tho banks In New York has for the moment reached its maximum, decreases' in the total having been shown over the last two weeks. The weekly statement of averages of -the associated banks shows: Loans 5787,846.100. increase 52,189,600: do- . posits 5S39 670.100.
