THE SUNDAY OREGQNIAN, PQHTU4lT, N-AJ . 26, .1901.
COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS
The Bret real touch of Summer struck
town yesterday, and meats, poultry, etc,
were at a discount, with fruits command
ing "a premium. The weather "was also
unfavorable for the egg market, and
prices are -weak, but not quotably lower.
Butter went on Ice In a hurry, -end .was
more Inclined to weakness than It has
been for a long time. Keceipts of Cali
fornia produce by rail were quite large
yesterday, and as the steamer due last
evening, is also bringing considerable
produce, prices were easier. The straw
berry market was firm. Not only were
receipts light on account of rains in Call
Jorxla, but the demand was exceptionally
heavy. Nothing sold under 1 50 per crate,
and there was not enough to go round,
even at that figure. Oregon berries sold
at 12 cents per pound for Southern Ore
gon, and 15 cents per ppund for The
Dalles and Hood River etock. Everything
cleaned up as soon as It struck the street.
The demand for potatoes is decidedly
easier, and the nearer the time for the
n&w crop approaches, the weaker the mar
ket for the old stock becomes. Keceipts
were large again yesterday, and some
sales were made as low as 85 cents, al
though select stock still commands 51 per
cental. Veal is decidedly weak on heavy
receipts and a light demand, but pork is
as Arm as it has been at any time this
season. ""There seems to be a .great scar
city of hogs all over the Northwest, and
if the hot weather does not materially
check the demand, even higher prices will
prevail. Oats and barley are firm, but no
higher. The big barley crop in California
is having some effect on prices, but there
is so little of the cereal left In the North
west that the figures in this market show
no change. The grocery market is steady,
with no change in prices, and a fine busi
ness reported in all lines.
WHEAT The wheat market is fully as
"Summer" as the weather, and, In the
absence of Liverpool advices yesterday,
there was not much inclination to do busi
ness. The East lost a very small fraction
on the day's trading, and San Francisco
was in much the same condition. Locally,
there was nothing doing, and most of the
exporters abandoned their ofiices early in
the day and took advantage of the fine
weather. Quotations were nominally 5S
and 59 cents, but no sales were reported,
and. as usual this season, the ideas of
holders were so far above those of buy
ers, that the figures were strictly nomi
nal. There are but three unfinished ships
in the river, and two of these will finish
early next week. There is more than
enough wheat on spot for all of them,
and accordingly there is no incentive to
buy at anything above the export value.
Freights are firm, with San Francisco
bidding right up to Portland figures for
both steam and sail tonnage. The last
chip reported -for Portland loading is a
2000-ton net register taken for July at 37s
Cd. This rate is fully 2s 6d lower than
anything offering for new season loading.
The crop prospectsin the Pacific North
west continue very'flatterlng, and a. record-breaking
yield is among the possibil
ities, if conditions remain favorable. The
situation in California Is thus reported by
the San Francisco Commercial News:
In California, the crop has made won
derful improvement since the late heavy
rains. In some portions of the Sacra
mento Valley it is estimated that the yield
will be the amount expected three or four
weeks ego. Along the coast the weather
has been favorable for growth. In the
southern portion of the San Joaquin, the
crop will not be heavy, but general im
provement has taken place; some early
wheat has already been harvested; not
until the latter part of next week, how
ever, will harvesting become general. The
.spot market Is inactive, and the outward
movement slow; millers are buying only
when necessary, and shippers have enough
'for the slowly arriving vessels.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, May 25. The absence of ca
bles, owing to holiday observances In Liv
erpool and London, produced a pall of
lethargy In the wheat market. There was
little outside trading, the few transac
tions being confined mosjtly to the pro
fessionals. July wheat opened unchanged
at 7273c, and for the first half-hour a
rather firm tendency prevailed. A dispo
sition developed to even up for over Sun
day, and shorts were buyers to a mod
erate extent Under this influence, the
price rose to 7373c, but under profit
taking reacted to 72c, closing a shade
higher, at 73c.
Corn shared the dullness of the wheat
market The trading was on a limited
scale, with no important transactions.
July closed steady, He lower, at 43c.
There was a moderate trade In oats, but
the market Inclined to dullness. July
oats closed steady and lc higher, at
2Sc
Provisions were dull. July pork and
lard closed unchanged and ribs a shade
lower.
The leading futures ranged as .follows:

STOCK MARKET ' REVIEW
NORTHERN PACIFIC STRUGGLE
MAY NOT BE OVER.
Business Last Weelc "Was DnII nnd
Restricted to Professional
Operators.
NEW YORK. May 25. There was no
evidence of Interest In today's stock mar
ket beyond the manipulation by profes
sionals In a limited number of stocks.
The action of the market showed that
many brokers and tradars followed the
mid-Summer custom oi not coming to
the exchange at all for the short session
or Saturday.
Some of yesterday's movements, which
gave good promise of a period of activity
In special stocks at least received an un
timely check. This was true of the To
bacco stocks, which started a vigorous
rise, but which ended with sharp losses.
The Southwesterns were temporarily
strong on published admissions from In
terests In the companies that plans were
working out for the consolidation and
extension of the properties. Wheeling &
Lake Erie Issues strengthened in sym
pathy. The rumors that an Important
short Interest In Northern Pacific had ef
fected a private settlement, which was
an Influence In yesterday's rally, had lost
their force today. This was partly due
to the lack of any authoritative Informa
tion on the subject. While the comple
tion of a settlement with the shorts
would be regarded with relief as removing
a threat of further forced liquidation from
the market, the obvious pressure to se
cure actual , deliveries of certificates leaves
the inference strong that the Northern
Pacific dispute still remains open. An ex
change authority states that the strug
gle is not yet passed. A sale of Northern
Pacific at 210 today revived rumors of fur
ther competition for the stock. The clos
ing today was ISO bid, and 210 asked.
The strong position of the banks dis
closed by the bank statement ailed to
revive the market. This week's .stock
market has shown a disposition to slip
into dullness, and Increasing difficulty has
been met In attracting outside business.
It has been the smallest week's business
of the year, and has been more and more
restricted to the hands of professional
operators. There has been some notable
demand at times for certain" stocks, such
as the Eries, the Southwesterns and the
coalers, both anthracite and bituminous.
The street is not agreed In its opinion of
the motives of this buying. One party
sees in it a renewal of operations by the
great railroad proprietors In the fur
ther development of "community of In
terest" plans In the newer phases of those
plans, Involving control of connecting sys
tems rather than of lateral competitors,
such as marked the earlier period. Others
see in it merely speculative operations
by pools, with a design to reawaken pub
lic Interest in speculation, or to afford a
market, forcing out pool holdings which
were held through the panic or were
picked up at the low- price touched since.
The professional character of the mar
ket has been Indicated by the narrow
range of price movements and their con
stant fluctuations, the course of prlce3
never continuing beyond the second day.
From time to time there has been posi
tive pressure to sell, induced by several
disturbing factors.
Northern Pacific Dispute.
The principal of these Is the Northern
Pacific dispute, which continues to loom
big In the estimation of damaged specu-
int... otiiI t nan a. shadow on the mar
ket. Assurances that the disputed points
have been adjusted to the mutual sat
isfaction of the great railroad Interests
concerned have had their soothing effect
marred by Indications to the contrary.
For one thing, both parties persist in their
claims to absolute control of the prop
erty. The earnest desire of both parties
and their interest In preventing any fur
ther disturbance In the market from the
troubles of the shorts Is very clear. Yet
the shorts have given evidence during the
week of continued trouble.
The Inference Is thereby made that the
efforts of the contending Interests In
Northern Pacific to relieve the shorts do
not go so far as to sell them stock, or
even to lend them certificates for de
livery. The market Is almost absolutely
bare of the stock, and the rise In Its
price this week to. 205 Indicates that there
is. no relaxation in the closeness wltn
which it Is held by the two rival Inter
ests " The rival interests allow the shorts
whose selling contracts they hold to set
tle at the given figure of 150. But clearly
others than the rival Interests hold sell
ing contracts for which there la no stock
to deliver, and are exacting! higher terms.
This seems particularly true of the Lon
don market. The moratorium granted to
the Northern Pacific ehorts In that mar
ket at the last settlement has been ex
tended through the next settlement and
to June 10. with the expressed hope that
the contending Interests In Northern Pa
cific will have arrived at some arrange-
ment by that time. This revelation that
there Is still a short interest In Northern
Pacific in a perilous state, and the de
duction drawn that the dispute for North,
ern Pacific control is still open, has had
a decidedly disturbing effect on senti
ment. The application -of the Union Pacific to
the Stock Exchange to list the full au
thorized issue of $100,000,000 of convertible
bonds has given occasion for some sell
ing of the stock. It fa known that ?40.
000,000 of this Issue has already been sold
to provide the purchase money for the
Southern Pacific. The supposition Is gen
eral that the remaining 160,000.000 la de
signed to reimburse the cost of the North
ern Pacific stock bought In the interest
of Union Pacific. Wall street has asked
itself how far the heavy amounts of
Union Pacific sold at high prices during
the boom may have represented the extra
Issue of stock authorized to be exchanged
against these bonds. The belief has grown
r inrfnio hn iMilr thn iinme of the OD-
erators In the stock market represent ef
forts to secure a trunk-line outlet to the
Atlantic Coast for the Southwestern Rail
road system. The buying of Eries and the
strength of Lackawanna have both been
attributed to this cause. The projected
Wabash extension to Pittsburg and the
Wabash demands In passenger rates are
pointed to as corroborative evidence of a
desire for a control of the trunk lines.
Fear of Further Conflict.
Reports have circulated that protests
have been lodged against the execution
of this project by representatives of other
trunk lines. Some uneasiness has been
expressed lest another conflict between
leading railroad Interests were thus fore
shadowed. The relaxation In foreign
money markets has been a favorable fac
tor although the local money market
has' shown no sign of any lack of supply.
The decline of speculative activity has In
fact led to growing ease of money. But
the fears expressed that money difficul
ties might confront the London market
has caused some dread of a sympathetic
effect here.
During the week the Pari3 market had.
apparently satisfied Its requirements for
the Busslan loan-flotation, and had relaxea
Its pressure upon" London, so that the
Bank of England was able Thursday to
secure an arrival of 12,500,000 in gold In
the open market, which it .was feoxea
might go to the Continent. The- Parla
demand for gold In connection with -the
Russian loan has been unexpectedly
light, owing to the strong position of the
sink of France, which holds a- stock o
sold only second In amount to that in the
United States Treasury, and. which has
been making 20 per cent of Its- payments
tasfmeflnanclal authorities, are beglnnln
to maintain that the claims of the United
States for gold on account of merchandise
bSance have been practically wiped out
by the large return of American securi
ties to the home market during the late
speculative furore. It is worthy of note,
however that while gold went out from.
New Srk this week, a shipment was
made from. Sydney to San Francisco. Tho
receipt of the first drlbbllngs of gold,
"om the Transvaal mines Is attracting:
