THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 21', 1901. 23 COMMERCIAL AND Business was quiet the latter part of the week and, except among the fruit dealers, it slackened perceptibly yesterday ,ln preparation for the Sunday interrais 'slon. Sugar continued very quiet all week after Its big drop Monday, and the coffee Interests seem to have called time On their disagreements. Prices of corn and oat products are very uncertain, pend ing further Information as to the actual harm done, the coming; crop, by late drouths and heat. The grocers trade continued active in all lines, as has been the case the past two weeks. The liveliest business yesterday was 'In fruits, where the dealers were kept active handling the large shipments brought in, 3n the California steamer. These con- Eisted mostly of apples, pears, peaches, lemons and grapes. The lemon trade is now showing the Increased Eastern and California demand. The market is much stlffer, fancy stocks selling as high as J3 75 and even $4 per box. Apples, pears and the Early Crawford peaches 'sell well at fair prices. Oregon peaches are yet small and confined to the Early Hale and Alexanders, which are not solid enough for canning. Fontalnbleau and Sweet water grapes bring 51 25Q1 40 per crate. Large stocks of California watermelons have gone off well. Oranges are practi cally out of the market and In poor de mand. The recent large receipts of ba nanas were too ripe to ship and the over supply has cut prices down to $1 per bunch for poorer grades. Hawkers are retailing fairly good fruit on the street at 10 and 15 cents per dozen. The fruit market Is well cleaned up for home prod ucts, but some of the Imported varieties will be carried over in quantity. Vegetables are slow and in good supply. The market has been somewhat crowded with home-grown potatoes not yet ripe enough to ship, and inferior lots have been selling as low as 90 cents per hun dred. . Butter has been coming In a little too freely .for e local demand, and, in the absence of any considerable shipping trade, the market is somewhat weaker. No change In price is anticipated. The cheaper kinds of butter drag a bit, but even hero the prevalent rates are main tained. The egg market was also crowded by those wishing to take advantage of present good prices, and did not clean up as well as usual. Producers are emptying their stocks on the trade and sending in some salted eggs, which are practically unsalable. With no Improvement in qual ity; a slight drop in price some time next week Is not Improbable. The same gen eral condition exists In poultry. The sup ply is too large and stocks move heavily. A slump in price is expected unless re ceipts show decided shrinkage. Ducks and geese continue unsalable. Cheese is a trifle dull, as usual at this season. Provisions are unchanged. Mutton Is very slow, but other meats, especially veal, are in good demand, with sufficient supply. Hops are very quiet and nomi nal. No contracts are being made, as all concerned want a more definite line on the. crop, both domestic and Euro pean. The Valley yards are reported as a bit backward, but m excellent condition. Wool is looking up,- with a tendency to In creased strength. The Oregon clip is now practically all sold, save some coarse stocks, and these are gaining value on reports of an Increased demand in the London market. Hides are very firm and steady, with slight gains reported In some of the better sorts. WHEAT The wheat market for the week closing yesterday had- a good healthy tone throughout, and closed not far from the top. In the Portland mar ket, the usual Summer quiet is so pro nounced that transactions In the cereal are rare, and the strength ofocean freights is such that exporters are not in clined to assume any additional burdens until they have more definite knowledge of the manner In which the crop will move. Harvesting is on at full blast all over the Northwest, and this is contrib uting to the dullness In selling, -as farm ers are so busy that they are not looking for a market for the cereal. A few cars of new wheat have been received, and as Is usually the case, they command a pre mium over the actual value of the grain. Nominal quotations for Walla Walla yes terday were about 35 cents, with nothing offering, and nothing wanted except In a small way. The grain fleet in the river Is receiving good dispatch, and some of the belated ships for which cargoes have been on the docks for the past month, are now coming to hand. It will require abput everything that is due for the next six weeks to clean up stocks at tidewater, and until this clean-up is made and new wheat is more plentiful We may expect a lack of animation in the local market Freights have absorbed some of the strength "of the wheat market, and, while Portland exporters have been holding off, the avidity, with which San. Francisco ex porters pick up high-priced ships may eventually force them into the market, as "shipowners are not showing any inclina tion to make concessions. It is now as sured that the Willamette Valley will have a big crop of. choice wheat, and this will ;go a long ways toward making up the shortage caused by damage by frost east of the Cascade Mountains. Unfortunately tor the Valley growers, the Oriental flour trade is in such a demoralized condition that the Valley wheat may not command as much of ia premium as it has in former years. A large portion of the flour shipped from Portland to the Orient is made from Valley wheat, and as Walla Walla secured a good foothold during the crop failure last year, there will be less disposition on the part of millers to pay above the ex port value for the grain.- The European market has been gradually drifting away from Valley wheat for -tho nnnr five years, and a 3-cent differential, which used to be the regular thing, will this year be cut In two, and perhaps still further reduced. The Eastern markets are showing con siderable strength on account of the con tinued unfavorable weather for the crops. Corn has been seriously damaged, and in the skyward flight of prices has helped wheat a little in -sympathy. The European markets continue to .show strength on the poor crops In Germany and France, and a growing fear that the 700.000,000-bushel crop In the United States may yet fail to materialize. The California crop Is un doubtedly the best In years, and there will be an enormous surplus for shipment. The barley crop in that state Is also of mam moth proportions, and the demand for early ships for barley loading is what is causing so much strength in freights all along the coast. Barley prices are very low, and from present indications the crop in the North will not prove as remunera tive as it was a year ago. Grain bags are still moving upward, and are selling higher In San Francisco than In Portland. PORTLAND JIAHKETS. Grain, Flour, Etc.

The story of corn was a story that could have been told over of any session In the past fortnight. There was the same uncompromising weather and the same general demand from the afflicted district for corn to re place that which the elements have burned. Messages from the great corn raising zone were of one tenor there was scarcely a cheerful note In them. Local people, fearing that a rain tonight might upset calculations, sold on a liberal scale, but the buying by people who need corn continued steadily, and the close found the bull position still secure. September sold between 54Vi and 55c, and closed 1 lc higher, at 5555c. Oats also continued to advance. The de mand was a heavy one. September closed c higher at 35c. Trade In wheat was comparatively quiet. September opened (c higher, at 69 69c in sympathy with corn. For a time TONNAGE EN ROUTE AND IN PORT.

Cotton closed barely steady, unchanged STOCK MARKET REVIEW WESTERN INTERESTS BULL GRAIN AND BEAR STOCKS. Week Opens With Heavy Liquida tion Effects of Steel Strike and Railroad Troubles. NEW YORK, July 20. Anxiety over the Western crop situation overbore all other considerations in the stock market today and carried prices down through the at tempts of the inside interests in certain stocks to support the market. The closing prices were near the lowest, and the market was active and weak at the last. The only modification of the weakness was due to the buying to cover and take profit by the bearish traders, who saw handsome profits accrued as a result of the decline late yesterday and today. These bearish operators have been sup posed by Waft street to be resident chiefly In the West and to be concerned in bull ing grain as well as bearing stocks. The feeling gained force in Wall street today that this double campaign has more basis In fact than was believed yester day, and the Western contingent received large reinforcements from Eastern sources. The supporters of the market made headway against the bears in the first hour, when vigorous efforts were made to drive the bears to cover. There was a resumption of pool operations in Southern Pacific, and that stock, as welf as St. Paul and Missouri Pacific, were left well over last night. Aggressive sell ing by the bears immediately developed, based on the reports of new damage to the corn crop and reports of extensive damage to the Spring wheat crop, now first heeded in Wall street. Another attempt was made to rally the market on the strong bank statement. However, higher bids for stocks brought out such large offerings that the bulls were obliged to desist, and prices fell by rapid stages practically up to the close. St. Paul fell 4 under last night, Rock Island 4 Northwestern 8, Atchison 3, the preferred 2 and others o the Pacific and Southwestern groups, as well as lead ing Southern and Trunk line railroads and specialties, from 1 to 2 points. Some of the less prominent stocks showed large losses. The steel stocks were largely dealt in, but moved narrowly and were supported, the common losing only and the preferred closing higher. This week opened with a deluge of liqui dation of stocks induced by the unlooked for rupture of negotiations and calling of a strike by the members of the Amal gamated Association. The shutting down of some of the anthracite mines on ac count of a firemen's strike was also a depressing factor. Ccuning on top of last week's severe declines .and tho resulting losses and im pairment of margins and resources, serious consequences were threatened by this renewed demoralization in the stock market. The realization of this was ap parent in the effective measures taken to support the market by the two domin ant groups of capitalists whose quarrel precipitated tho Northern Pacific corner In May. The mere fact which was made patent to the speculative country that these two powers were united In support of the affair affords immense relief to sentiment. The depression of the week before was principally due to the evidence of selling on behalf of one of the Interests of the various stocks, and to the fear to which this gave rise that the Northern Pacific quarrel had broken out afresh. . It was evident that no vague Intimations" and as surances that all was harmony would avail to quiet the disturbance caused by this fear. The decisive step was, there fore, determined upon of announcing the new harmony board of directors for tho Northern Pacific. This step was admit tedly taken with a view to stock market exigencies and to lessen the pressure of liquidation which was proving detrimental to many Important financial projects, and depressing prices to a level felt to be un warranted by the promise of the future of sustained and Increasing earning power. Early knowledge of the coming an nouncement was apparent In the enor mous buying all through the list by in siders on Wednesday, although It was not until just before the close that the announcement was given to the .public. One of the detrimental effects of the slump in American stocks was Its un settling effect on the London market, where a fortnightly settlement was in progress. It is a striking example of the new Importance and Influence of Ameri can financial a flairs that a decline in the shares of an industrial corporation In New York should result in a drop in British consols to the lowest price in a decade. Tho lmmediato explanation Is found in the fact that the course of United States Steel stocks aroused distrust amongst London bankers, and money was difficult to secure for the carrying over of those stocks. In fact, American securities as a whole were somewhat affected, so that even discount rates hardened during the pendency of the settlement. Heavy blocks of the steel stocks have been placed abroad as the result of the recent foreign visit of the foremost capitalist in the corporation syndicate, but they came back in a stream this week as a result of the strike. The drop in consols was supposed to be due to large offerings by the"" American syndicate, which, it will be remembered, received a liberal allottment of- the last Issue. This operation was naturally re sorted to as a set-off In the International exchange market to the selling in New York by British holders of American securities. The impression produced on the London market, which led to some thing resembling a public remonstrance from Lord Rothschild on Monday, -was doubtless an additional movement to wards the action taken to support the m'arket and check the decline. It made It evident also that a part of the heavy liquidation of last week was due to preparation for supporting the market, which it was foreseen would be necessary this week. Money market conditions have been easier this week. The disposition of bankers, however, is still toward rather cautious conservatism of resources for the requirements of the crop movement. The speculative contingent rests great confidence on the assumption that organ ized arrangements' are in force, backed by the principal capitalistic groups, to support the market, under the direction of the most forceful and successful mar ket leader and operator of the day. Railroad bonds have moved in sympathy with but less widely than stocks. United States refunding 2s, the 4s and the old 4s advanced , and the new 4s per cent below the last closing call of last night.

The American department was unsettled, and a few additional clearance sales following the recent em barrassments of small operators sent prices below parity. These over, the tone hardened.

Increase In Reserves, lnt Decrease in Deposits Money Ensler. NEW YORK, July 20.-The Financier says: The statement of the New York asso ciated banks last Saturday showed from the borrower's point of view the very gratifying Increase in surplus reserve of $8,220,000, carrying this item to $21,029,375, or very close to the figure recorded at the beginning of June. The present posi tion of the banks In this respect is such as to relieve apprehensions on their part of being seriously Incommoded through a withdrawal by their correspondents of cash to an extent sufficient to place restrictions on loaning in order to main tain their percentage of reserves. The Institutions, as a whole, loaned less free ly than usual because of the lighter de- MMHOOD RESTORED SffiitSEffiffi remedy guaranteed to cure ail nervous diseases, such as Weak Memory, Headache, WakefulIness.Lost Manhood.

Chamber of Commerce mand for money, and this fact will In great part account for the reduction of this item. The gain of J6.107.S00 in cash was slight ly below the amount shown by the pre liminary estimates. The Increase of $5. 1S9.100 in specie largely reflects sub treasury operations. The decrease of $S,44S,800 In deposits is out of hnrmony with the other items. From present In dications the banks will continue to gain in cash through sub-treasury operations and receipts of gold from the Pacific Coast assay offices, there being about $1,500,000 of the latter which will prob ably nrrlve during the coming week. A movement last week of ?200.000 cur rency by transfer through the Treasury to Chicago and of $100,000 to New Orleans, was evidently for the purpose of securing denominations of currency which were de ficient at the points named and did not indicate a beginning of the crop move ment, as surmised In many quarters. The outlook for the present favors easy money, but present Institutions in the West report a steady demand on the part of their country correspondents for funds. This, no doubt, will be reflected soon at .eastern centers, Dut tne trend just now is in this direction. At any rate, tho banks have recouped rapidly in reserves and are in a strong position to meet thi demands which may be made on them' later. EASTERN LIVESTOCK. CHICAGO, July 20. Cattle Receipts, 5000.
