THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, .PORTLAND,' JUNE 9, 1901: 23r COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS The Summer season, -which began last week, brought with It much activity In business. Merchants all reported a large trade both In city and country, larger than In corresponding weeks of any year. These conditions have a true reflector In fceavy bank clearings. "Wool In Eastern Oreg6n has livened up lately, but Willamette Valley has been relatively dull". Large sales are recorded at Pendleton, Baker City, Shaniko and places In Eastern Washington at prices ranging from 9 to 1 cents. A sale of 175,000 pounds at 9 cents at Baker City by a single holder is regarded to be- in dicative of an easlng-up disposition on the part of growers. The new crop and the prospect of having to sustain Its ad ditional weight is taken as the immediate cause of the movement. , The present time is the Intermission, be tween the wheat seasons, so that little 1b doing In the cereal. Filghts have been stationary, with signs of further steadi ness. Salmon, which has hitherto been an Important product, apparently will not cut a large figure In the yearly sum of busi ness. ' All fruits are backward this year, es pecially strawberries. Receipts were short of demand all week and orders from out side could be only partly filled. The Hood 3Uver crop is also sharing In the delay. Prices have been steady for the past few days. Promise of fair weather gives hope that the product will be abundant this week. -Old potatoes are quite scarce. The market advanced about 10 cents per sack last week. The San Francisco market has declined In the past few days, but this 2ias had no effect at Portland, because Oregon has awakened to the fact that It has hardly enough for Its own needs. Dealers were perhaps too eager to export and may have to Import new product from California. Eggs have slightly lessened jn receipts and consumption has picked up a little. IButtcr is at best quality and continues to go Into storage. Prices are firm and Im mediate rise is not looked for by most dealers. Store butter has been a little dull on account of lessened demand from California. Tillamook cheesemakers are coming around to the demand of deal ers and are beginning to send In their product Domestic vegetables are now In full sup ply In all varieties of-the- season. Produce from San Francisco will arrive by steam er today. Oats and barley are firm. Dealers had a hard tussle with poultry all week. The market was glutted and all prices took a slump. Spring chickens had the best sale. Ducks, geese and tur keys had almost no buyers. Veal was Improved over the preceding week, but bogs and sheep were a little slow. WHEAT The first week In June has brought out llltle comfort to those who were expecting higher prices for wheat. If all reports are to be accepted at face value, this country Is about to harvest a record-breaking crop, which will enable It to offset In a large degree the shortages reported elsewhere. It Is not yet too late ior considerable damage to the Spring wheat crop, and for this reason the mar ket for some time yet will be governed largely by the weather. Old wheat has been so thoroughly cleaned out of the country that there Is not much business doing at the present time. So far as Irnown, everything under engagement for old crop loading has been fairly well pro vided for, and this leaves the market in the hands of the millers. Export values lor Walla Walla are about 59 cents to 60 cents, according to the rate asked for ships. ThlB Is about VA cents above the San Francisco price for No. 1 shipping, which shows Portland to be a better mar ket than the California port. Freights are Inactive at about 41s 3d, and the uncertainty as to what steamers will do Is preventing any more chartering until the crop is nearer a certainty. The foreign demand for flour Is at very low ebb, and this, enables the millers to main tain a more Independent position in the scramble for wheat than would be possi ble If they were compelled to keep the mills grinding. The condition of the growing crop In the Pacific Northwest continues excellent, and with an- In creased acreage East of the mountains and a splendid outlook in the Valley, the chances are certainly in favor of a bump er crop If all goes well until harvest. The California wheat market Is weak, un der the influence of a big crop and high freights. As to conditions, the San Fran cisco Commercial News, under date of June 6, says: "In California the weather during the past week has been favorable cool dur ing the first half, and later warm and sunny, producing rapid growth. In some sections of the Sacramento Valley the heaviest yield for the past seven or eight years is expected, while the valley, as a whole, will produce considerably more than the average. In- -the -San Joaquin Valley, the crop will be fully up to -the average. All through the Santa Clara Valley," from Monterey, San'Benifo and an Luis Obispo Counties, come reports of a large crop of good quality." PORTLAND MARKETS. "Grain, Flour, Etc.

Bears In the wheat pit had the better of the news before the beginning of the session, and July wheat opened Hc lower, at 73c. -on heavy rains throughout Kansas and Oklahoma, where moisture was badly needed. The Impression created was that the Kansas crop would be about equal to last year's. The rains, with somewhat lower cables, caused an early decline of c, but the pressure to sell was not general, as the better crop prospects appeared to war rant, and this feeling of reluctance was supported by later reports that possibly the Kansas rains would Interfere with harvesting.- This bit. of news caused a reaction In the price to 73c. The market fluctuated narrowly and gave evidence of considerable bull support, and there was also a fair campaign of profit-taking. July wheat closed Arm and i4c to Kmbc higher, at 73S73. Corn was steady over a narrow range of prices, with business chiefly of a local speculative character . July closed 4c lower, at 4343c Oats were active and fairly steady. July unchanged at 2540.

Cattte-Recerpta,"' goo Item. The effect of this increase was shown In a corresponding rise In depos its, and as this In turn necessitated a very much larger reserve, the excess sur plus suffered a decline of about $8,000,000, the loss of nearly $3,000,000 in cash hold ings having been an appreciable factor In this respect. The present excess stands at $13,341,500, as against $21,253,050 for the preceding week. The decline Is equiva lent, therefore, to 37 per cent, which for one week's operation Is unusually large. The Increase In the loan Item can be attributed In part to Union Pacific, con vertible bond operations, which called for heavy accommodations during the week, and the fact that one bank which had a great deal to do with the transaction re ported an increase In loans of about $8,000,000 strengthens this theory. In ad dition, however. It Is known that "com mission houses have been borrowing heavily, especially on long time, and this also assisted in swelling the volume of outstanding loans. With reference to lose In cash ofi$2.981, 400, It is to be remembered that the state-, ment of the banks for the previous week .accounted for only about half the gold 'taken for export, and the remainder probably shows in the present exhibit. The cash totals are still nearly $1,000,000 at variance with known operations for the week, but this is attributed to the misleading system of averages on which the statement Is compiled. It Is worthy of note that a discrepancy of about $10, 000,000 now exists between the clearing house statements and the most accurate preliminary statistics based upon known operations extending over a pe riod of three or four weeks, and the as sumption that the condition of the banks from a cash standpoint is better than shown In the present statement Is not warranted. The excess surplus, how ever, Is large enough at this time to min imize the effect of the heavy changes noted, and It Is not regarded as likely that money quotations will show mate rial fluctuations. Advices from Important centers are to, the effect that difficulty. Is experienced in holding rates at their present level. Th6 statement of the associated ba.nks for the wek ending June 8 shows!

Plans tin International ItnnU to Have a Capital of $l,O00,'O00,OOO. NEW YORK, June 8. According to the London correspondent of the AVorld, It Is reported there that J. Plerpont Morgan Is engaged In arranging for the establish ment of a great Anglo-American bank, with a capital of $1,000,000,000. It is said that it Is proposed to abolish all of the principal financial agencies and banks already engaged In Anglo-American business. The proposed Institution, it Is said, Is Intended to be the principal agency for the already vast and rapidly growing banking transactions between Europe and America. Mr. Morgan Is understood to have asso ciated with him in the stupendous under taking not only the principal capitalists who aided in the organization of the United States Steel Corporation, but also the Rothschilds. Locally, the World says: "Several times since the panic of May it has been reported in Wall street that Mr. Morgan Intended to organize a bank with $100,000,000 capital. These reports have been Invariably denied at the ofilce of J. P. Morgan & Co. The creation of a bank with a capitalization of $1,000,000,000 Is an undertaking of a nature so colossal that nothing approaching it has ever been hinted at before. The aggregate of the capitalization of the 61 national banks In Greater New York is barely $100,000,000. Two banks only are capitalized at $10, 000.000 each the National City and the National Bank of Commerce. The great est bank In the world the Bank of Eng landhas a capital of 14.553,000 sterling, or about $72,765,000. The Bank of France has a capital of 182.500,000 francs, or about $36,500,000. The combined capitalizations of the Bank of France, the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, the' Bank of England and the Banque Imperlale Ottomans, the government bank of Turkey, falls far short of $1,000,000,000. "When It was reported last month that Mr. Morgan Intended to organize a bank In this city with a capital of $100,000.00'), the project was declared to be Impracti cable by conservative banking men be cause of the National banking laws, which impose a tax upon the capitalization of such Institutions. "August Belmont, the New York repre sentative of the Rothschilds, who, accord ing to the London dispatch, are asso ciated with Mr. Morgan In the vast bank ing scheme. Is not at his home in Hemp stead, L. I., and nothing could be learned In New York City concerning the rumored organization of the mammoth bank." change, but were nominally easy at $3 50 10 50 for pig Iron warrants In Northern foundry at $15 2516 50; Southern foundry. $1415 50; and soft Southern at $1315 50.

But It was generally understood that our models would not pose on Saturday, that day being exclusively devoted to housecleanlng within and without. Early In the morning every stick of furniture Is carefully rubb.ed and wiped and taken out of the house. Then the women, with their skirts tucked up. entirely Hood tho rooms with bucket after bucket of water, brought up from the canal by means of the shoulder yoke. With broom and brush they souse and scrub the red-tiled floor, and finally pull up a plug In one corner to let the water out let us hope Into the canal. While the floor Is drying a great pol ishing goes on In the street. Quaint old brass lamps and candlesticks, tobacco boxes and ash trays, huge milk cans all are burnished until, like golden mirrors, they reflect the red-cheeked, white-capped faces bent over them. The lacquer man Is busy on Saturday. He goes from house to house painting, the bread tray and honey-cake boxes with de signs of gaudy birds and wondrous leaves and flowers. The street Is In a turmoil until noon, when order Is partially restored and the scanty midday meal Is partaken of. In tho l afternoon washing Is resumed. The ex teriors of the cottages are scrubbed from roof to pavement, and every trace of mold removed, for In this low, wet air the green moss gathers quickly. Then the brick pavements ars drenched and carefully drled, and I have even seen the women slip off their sabots and tiptoe to their f doorways in their woolen chaussons, so as not to solrthe Immaculate sidewalk.
