Newspaper Page Texto2 THE SUNDAY .OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 13, 1902. ERRATIC WEEK IN STOCKS LOUISVILLE fc NASHVILLE DEAL INGS HIGHLY SENSATIONAL. Speculation Attributed to- Gronp Men. "Who Made Fortunes in Iron and Steel. of NEW YORK, April 12. The situation centering about Louisville & Nashville was the subject of keen Interest In "Wall street today, and kept the market fever ish and unsettled. The Jumps of over 10 points In Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the rlae In Evansvllle & Terre Haute re vived rumors of projects for a Chicago outlet for Louisville, and the conferences in progress, and known to the street, strengthened the Impression of an Im pending parting control of Louisville & Nashville itself. There -was a renewal of the activity and strength in Colorado & Southern, -which was attributed to the working of plans for the extension of the Slock Island connections, indicated by the purchase of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf. Otherwiso the principal strength rwas in specialties. The buoyant rise of Canadian Pacific to 120, with a relapse of a point, was not explained. The strength of the various -rubber stocks was due to reports of proposed mergers, as were the movements in Virginia-Carolina chemical and cotton I1. The rise of over 4 points in International Power was due to the expectation of stock subscription rights. The strength of the market was not gen eral, and the advance after the bank tetatement was met by realizing, so that the closing was irregular. The cash changes in the bank statement fconformed closely to the estimates. The loan decrease was laTger even than hoped Ifor, but the knowledge that large loans Twere transferred to the trust companies E.nd to foreign lenders, left the outlook or money by no means clear. Review of tho Week. There was a remarkably feverish and tsrratlc stock market this week, which Is attributed In Wall street to the specula tive operations of a group of wealthy men who have realized great fortunes in the Iron and steel trade, and who were con trolling factors in the constituent com panies of the steel corporation before the formation of that concern. The upward course of prices which was established last week was Interrupted on Monday by the fears of money stringency. The large exports of gold for Tuesday's steamer threatened a total wiping out of the sur plus reserve of the banks, which was cut down two-thirds, as a result of the trans actions of last week. The rise in the money rates shut off further gold ex ports, and made It profitable for foreign bankers to negotiate heavy loans in for eign money markets to place here. The trust companies also wero large lenders at the higher level, as they are not sub ject to the same legal restrictions as to the maintenance of cash reserve, and are thus able to leave their cash in deposit with the banks to figura In their cash re serves, while taking up the bank loan. This feature of the local credit situation has been the subject of some comment and criticism In connection with the active speculation which is fostered by the re sources thus made available. The money market has. nevertheless, been unsettled all week and subject to occasional flurries. The leaders of the speculation seem to be unaffected by these flurries, and it is believed they are protected by heavy loans on time. It was suspected that the early unsettlement of money was due partly to the taking out of large time loans in this Interest. Center of Speculation Shifts. The center of speculation shifted this week from St. Paul and the Western group to the Southern Railway field. The movement In Louisville 8s Nashville be came so sensational that the fear arose that the circumstances of the Northern Pacific corner of last May might be re peated. The reticence of all the parties In Interest as to the actual conditions ex isting in the stock added to the uncer tainty. The plausible theory advanced was that advantage had been taken of the strength of the stock to market the newly authorized Increase of $5,000,000 of stock. The formality of application and listing of a new stock Issue on the Stock Ex change requires about a month's time. Meantime the new stock is not a good delivery against sales made on the Stock Exchange. It was supposed that the spec ulative pool In the stock had discovered this technical short Interest In the mar ket, and, by forcing up the price, was compelling the delivery of stock held for control, thus threatening the absorption of the control. The announced plan to apply a portion of the new stock issue to the purchase of the Atlanta. Knoxville & Northern revealed an incursion Into the territory of tho Southern Railway Com pany. There were conjectures that con trol of a road into Chicago running north of the Ohio River was also spjught. Cou pled with the enormous dealings in the stock, these facts and surmises gave color to the supposition of a contest for con troL and the activity and strength in Southern Railway, as though in sympa thy, seemed a corroboration. The announcement of the purchase of the Choctaw. Oklahoma & Gulf, and the supposition that it was in the interest of the Rock Island, was additional Incentive to credulity in the progress of plans for extension of community of Interest and strengthening of position by existing rail road systems, by control of outlines and extensions. The activity and strength of the Gould stocks were supposed to be due to the progress of plans for completing the system's outlet to the Atlantic Coast. It is a matter of observation that prac tically all of tho railroad construction of the present era of industrial activity is devoted to extension and strengthening of existing systems, rather than to the formation of new systems. It Is argued that this tends to insure against rivalry and destructive competition. Foreign Money Situation. The postponement of the British budget statement defers the clearing up of the foreign money situation. The announce ment on good authority that Russia will seek no further loan In Europe this year removes an apprehension that the recent loan placed in Germany, Belgium and Holland was preliminary to a large Rus sian .loan to be floated. The speculation in stocks has been sup plemented by an active buying of some of the low-grade speculative bonds, on which interest payments are contingent, at sharp advances in prices.

Cabinet Meeting: Cannes More Talk Than Business at London. NEW YORK, April 12. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram is as follows: There was more talk than actual busi ness in the market today. Tho Cabinet met on urgent summons. This gave rise to divergent rumors, some reporting a Cabinet crisis, and that Sir Michael Hicks Beach wanted to raise the income tax, and Joseph Chamberlain insisted on a fresh loan, threatening his resignation unless bis plan was adopted. The latest rumor is that the Bank of England representa tives have been in conference with the Chancellor of tho Exchequer. This if true suggests a loan. Americans were above parity, but L. & N. was under, with apparently few dealings. Rio Tintos were -up on the rise in Amalgamated Copper. Many Flour Mills to Close. CHICAGO, April 12. On account of having to pay a premium of from 1 to VA cents over May wheat, together with a decline in the demand for flour and bleu, freight rates, says the Chronicle's Minneapolis correspondent, about one fifth of the Minneapolis flour mills will close down at once for an indefinite length of time. MINNEAPOLIS, April 12. About 50 per cent of the flour mill capacity of this city will be idle next week and for an indefinite time thereafter until conditions' Improve. This means loss of their time to about 1030 mlil employes. The shut down is due partly to the premium mil lers have to pay on May wheat, but principally because of the discriminatory rates on wheat and flour In favor of wheat. This discrimination is even now the subject of negotiations between the millers and the railroads, and although tho Western roads are willing to equal ize the rates the Eastern roads have so far declined to do so. The consequence is that the export demand for flour has fallen, it being more profitable to ship the wheat and grind It abroad. The'roads maintain that flour Is more expensive to handle than wheat and that the rates must therefore be higher. The millers say they can explode this theory entirely. To Raise Mules for Cuba. CHICAGO. April 12. Charles A. Allen, of HoopeBton, ex-Speaker of the Illinois General Assembly, and a company of Ver million County capitalists, says the Chronicle, have Just Incorporated In the State of Maine "The Hoopeston Land & Cattle Association," which will operate 58,000 acres of land in Cuba, valued at $500,000.

Best Not Too Good Have you tried to plan In your mind what we could have on a site away from the river that would Interest Eastern people? Are ,you aware that the best show that we could have on such a site would not match one of the annual state fairs held by many of the Eastern States? Our best efforts on such a site must prove to be a failure. If the Exposition be held at "Univer sity Park, we can show our harbor, the ships coming and going, our mountain scenery, 200 miles of standing timber extending from Mount Rainier to Mount Jefferson, as part of our Exposition. We can have nothing on a site away from the river that we cannot have on the river, but we can have many at tractions on the river that we cannot have away from the river. Then why not have the best possible for the mon ey we shall have to expend? ' Hawthorne Park, in connection with Ladd's Addition, is the only place, be sides University Park, that has any con siderable number of advocates. The only claim made for Hawthorne Park is "that it is central." While it is nearer to the Postoffice than University Park, it is not as accessible. Hawthorne Park would have to depend wholly on the street-cars and carry-alls which would be burdened to their fullest capacity wherever the Exposition may be held. The unobstructed boats and railroads to University Park will make the trip in less time than the street-cars could reach Hawthorne Park. Think of the crush at an open draw which must take place many times dally. Think of the delays at street crossings, to avoid crashing into heavy trucks or to avoid killing pedestrians. Compare this with a clean, breezy boat ride to University Park, without crowding or hanging to strap, or with a 10-minute run on the railroad, where all wagon roads are overhead, except the one at Lower Al blna, and where the liability of acci dent would not exist. Even its claim of central must vanish before the supe rior facilities of reaching University Park. PENINSULA BOARD OP TRADE.
