Speculators Show Confi

LEADERS ARE DEALING- FREELY
Appear to Believe Themselves Ex
empt From Danger of Stringency
In Money Market, bnt Capital
ILcauIrexnents Are Large.
NEW YORK, July 12. A disposition to
advance prices was held in check today
by the fears that a poor bink statement
would Induce selling of stocks. The bank
statement proved unexpectedly favorable,
end the market closed firm with the av
erage level of prices at about the highest.
The principal evidence of strength was In
the grangers, especially the corn-carriers.
Atchison, which was neglected yesterday,
took up the leadership early, while Mis
souri Pacific hung back until the late
dealings, when It rose on large dealings.
Rock Ibland rose 4 points to a level 2
points higher than yesterday's highest,
but the dealings were small, amd the gain
was not well held. A rise of nearly a
point in New York Central was apparent
ly due to support In view of the decrease
in the gross earnings reported for June
by the system The Industrials were
somewhat depressed, but recovered in tho.
late rally.
Iteview of the "Wcelr.
There has boen considerable activity,
and strength in the stock market this
week, but it has been of an irregular
character and confined to comparatively
few stocks. It is sufficiently obvious that
the prevailing sentiment among security
holders is one of confidence In the main?
tcnance of prosperous conditions of the
country, and the continuance of the pres
ent earnings of securities. Holders of
railroad stocks, especially show no dis
position to part with their property. But
no general public demand for stocks is'
aroused by the tactics of the party which
seeks to lead a bull movement. The act
ive leaders seem to feel themselves ex
empt from danger of a stringency in a
money market and have dealt freely in
stocks, shifting operations from one quar
ter to another of tho market, but confin
ing their operations to a few leading
stocks in each group.
Influence Strengthening.
The sympathetic Influences of these spe
cial movements upon the general list have,
been strengthening, and it Is highly prob
able that they are designed to support
values to some extent and thus to guard
the credits which the same large interests
are employing in other projects of mag
nitude. It Is a novelty for large inter
ests to be pommltted at the same time in
the long side, both in stocks and grains.
Yet It Is generally assumed that the so
called "Western contingent" which con
trols the corn corner in the Chicago mar
ket Is also the most influential element
on the bull side in stocks. This is ex
p'.Vned by the. fact that the grain specu
lation is in the remnant of last year's
deficient corn crop, while the prospect for
next year's crop, from "present conditions,
is called excellent. The Government crop
report of conditions July 1, published
Thursday, was taken as confirming op
timistic Ideas of the coming crop, and tha
rsins reported as doing some damage dur
ing the week have not been sufficient to
disturb the general confidence in a fav
orable outcome.
In the 3IopeyMafket.
The week's events In the money mar
ket have given convincing evidence of tho
enormous capital requirements of the
country growing out of tho unprecedented
activity in all directions. Millions have
been shipped to interior points by the
New York banks, and foreign bankers in
New York have Tenewed their borrowing
in foreign money markets. This foreign
borrowing has averted an .outward move
ment of gold, which is thus showing to
be more urgently required at home. The
exigencies of tho corn corner In Chicaso
ate assigned as a reason for the large de
mand for currency there, but the -demand
comes as well from Southern points, and
Chicago's demand Is reflected by the
heavy calls upon that center from West
ern and Northwestern points. Tho banks
of the country at large are, in fact, with
drawing their deposits from the reserve
cities for thalr own home needs. The
active demand for money may be one of
the most Important indications of a coun
try's prosperity up to the point where
productive enterprise outruns consump
tive needs. But active trade" demands for
money are commonly looked to Interfere
with speculative activity in securities.
There has been a fairly large absorp
tion of bonds, and a rather Irregular
movement of prices. ' United States re
funding s have declined , the new 4s
and old 4s registered "4, and the old 4s
coupon Vi on call during the week.

CHICAGO, July 12. Better weather had
its -natural affectum the wheat-market,
and many of yesterday's -buyers turned
sellers arly in the day. Local sentiment
Was bearish, and on the absence of a
buying demand there was an attempt to
raid the market, but the effort was fruit
less, as a moderato demand developed
on the decline, which checked any fur
ther loss. Large clearances wero also a
help to better prices. September opened
Vt to 5ip lower, at 7373?ic, fluctuated
within a narrow range. After Selling at
7374c, there was a decline to 73A, and.
the close was at about tho bottom, with
a lofs of Qc, at 73i473c
Corn opened easier on- better weather
and large receipts with a larger proportion
of contract grade. Selling was quite gen
eral, and, while thero was no conspicuous
buying, prices held well, and there was
only a email decline.
Oats were' weak under the Influence of
excellent weather, with prospects of fa
vorable conditions over Sunday. Septem

SURPLUS RESERVE GAINS
NEW TOBK BAXK DEPOSITS SHOW
LARGE REDUCTION'. "
- Loss of Cash. MncU Less Than Amount
Estimated from. Traceable
Movement of Money.
NEW YORK. July 12. The Financier
say a:
Tho etrlklnff feature of the official state
ment of the New York Associated Banks
last week was the large reduction In de
posits, and consequently In the reserve re
quirements, the latter much more than
offsetting the loes of cash and causing the
surplus reserve to show an actual gain
instead of a loss, as was quite expected.
The pet decrease in cash was $1,970,200.
specie being reduced 52,609,600. and legal
tenders augmented 5533,400. The loss or
cash was lese by $2,937,600 than the amount
estimated from the traceable movements
of money during the week. The discrep
ancy, however, was largely accounted for
by the fact that tho returns gathered for
the estimate Included the changes on July
3, which changes were embraced In tho
official statement of July 5. The loans
were decreased last week by $4,107,000,
while the deposits were reduced by $16,449,
500. Tho reductions In loans, together with
the net loss in cash, would call for a de
crease of $6,077,200 In deposits, or $10,372,300
less than the amount reported. The re
quired reserve was: lessened by $4,112,375.
Deducting therefrom the $1,170,200 net loss
of cash, leavea $2,142,175 as the Increase In
surplus xeserve, which Item now Is $12,226.
900 against $12.S09.375 with the correspond
ing date last year. This surplus may be
regarded as ample for current require
ments when the fact Is considered that the
fiscal operations of tho sub-Treasury and
tho movement hither from the Pacltlc
Coast of new gold, represented by assay
office checks, will, together, contribute to
offset much of the drain from the banks
of the currency for tho crop movement.
Moreover, this drain may be expected to
diminish with the subsidence of thJ spec
ulative operations In corn at Chicago..
The increase in circulation by the New
York banks lost week was $93,400, against
$227,500 In the previous week.

THOSE NOISOME S HACKS.
An Effort by the Arbitrator to Justi
fy His Action.
PORTLAND, July! (To the Editor.)
In reading your editorial commenting on
the arbitrator for the city, on the build
ing situated on the northwest corner of
Fourth and Alder streets, and the venom
ous language used against the arbitrator,
both In connection with tho decision ar
rived at by him In regard to the value of
the building, and the personal abuse ac
companying it. It would seem pertinent to
ask tho editor a few questions which, be
long to this controversy:
First I have been under the Impression
that the city employed a health officer to
look after the filth and stenches that arise
fro$t different causes, and see that such
nuisances were abated. Here was a case
for him.
Second If It was a public nuisance as
described by Tho Oregonian, why was it
allowed to go on while occupied by the
late tenant? I presume the stench has not
grown any more offensive since the cause
that occasioned it has been removed.
And lastly, I would like to know what
connection the arbitrator on the building's
value has with the aforesaid nuisance.
I was a disinterested party called in by
the Fire Commissioners to give an un
biased opinion as to the value of the
building, and its depreciation. L did not
even know who was the owner of the
building, and had not paid any attention
to its construction, until I commenced to
estimate on- the same. My estimate was
based on the requirements of the law,
which states that if a building is damaged
by decay or otherwise to the extent of 40
per cent, commencing above the sidewalk
line, then the city authorities have tne
right to condemn the same.
I found, after carefully estimating the
same, that the building was not decayed
or damaged to the extent of 4"0 per cent,
and in accordance with the facts my re
port was made, and the report will be sub
stantiated by any unbiased builder. The
owner or owners of the building are en
titled to Justice, even if it does not con
form to the wishes of his neighbors.. I
make my report in accordance with the
law, which is very often contorted to suit
tho requirements of the parties desiring
privileges, and which In this case was not
desired by Tho Oregonian, the neighbors,
dr the people generally, as it was no or
nament to the location It occupied. In
connection with the personalities Indulged
in. I would state that George W. Gordon
Is a citizen of the United States, a resi
dent taxpayer of Portland for the past 15
years, a contractor and builder by profes
sion, and Is just as interested In the wel
fare and progress of the city as The Ore
gonian, and there is no moss on his back,
either.
And now I would ask who is the writer
of this abusive editorial, who thinks he
can slander and abuse people as suits his
purpose? I herewith give him an Invita
tion to visit my residence, and I will show
hira what cleanliness is, and will In addi
tion give him a free bath, so that he may
wash some of the stench and impurities
out of his system; they seem to be a con
siderable part of his make-up; I believe it
would be a public benefit to get some of
the filth he Is so ready to apply to others
washed out of his building or carcass,
which I feel pretty sure must be more
than 40 per cent decayed, or ho would be
more considerate f or the rights of others.
GEORGE W. GORDON.
Tho Oregonian has only to say that It
will not be deterred by any abusive lan
guage from condemnation of such filthy
and noisome structures as that at the
northwest corner of Fourth and Alder, or
from protest against allowing these dirty
old shacks to be repaired and restored.
This particular shack has absolutely no
value; yet not less than $2000 are to be
expended In renewing It; and this Is per
mitted by Mr. Gordon. But he had the
right or power of decision; and as this is
the kind of buildings he likes, his simu
lated Indignation at the protest The
Oregonian made, and his pretensions to
decency, may pass at the value at which
the public will appraise them.
