THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 21, 190 15 FOUR GENTS HIGHER May Wheal Reaches $1.07 in the Chicago Pit JULY OPTION ALSO 'ADVANCES Most Exciting Day In theMarket In Many Years-War News and Stoppage Jn Shipments . .the'Cause. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. A sensational advance of 4ytc a bushel was scored la 30 minutes to day by wheat for the Slay delivery. The phenomenal price of $1.07 was reached, tht chief Incentive being rumors of the Russo Japanese War spreading to other nations, and talk of stoppage of wheat shipments from Russia and from Argentina was a secondary factor. The day on 'Change was one of the most exciting In a number of years. Com pared with yesterday, the final figures today are 3c higher for May wheat and 2c for July. May com Is up c; oats, c, and provi sions, 1537&c The wheat market opened excited and strong. Ehorts were active bidders for the May option, and Initial quotations of the delivery were un changed to lc higher, at 51.021.04. July opened o higher, at 9393?;c The advance was due mainly to the strong cables, Liver nnni riitnnB tuincr un a. Dennv. Paris -Tide and Antwerp c a bushel. The gain at Antwerp was taken to be especially significant as caused by the threatened stoppage of ship ments from Argentina and Russia. A report stated that railroad employes in Argentina were on the verge of a strike. The transporta tion of troops and war munitions In Russia la grea:ly restricting the movement of wheat In Jht country. In addition to tho bullish foreign situation, conditions in the United States were such as to cause alarm as to the sufficiency of the domestic supply. The demand from shorts was met promptly by selling orders for the account of the lead ing long. Small holders also had wheat for sale. After touching $1.04, "May quickly dropped to $1.02. while July declined to D2VIC. .For a short time the market held comparatively steady around these figures. As soon as the selling stopped, however, prices again moved upward under urgent buying by ehorts. The fact that the board would be closed Monday, "Washington's birthday, appeared to be mate rially effective In bringing out the heavy buy ing orders, traders being loth to Temaln short over the two days recess. Late In the ses sion there was practically so May wheat on the market, and ehorts "were bidding 4c over the market price, in order to get It. The high point was reached at $1.07, a gain of 4&c over last night's close. The demand for July was almost as good as was that for May, but there was more of the deferred future for sale, and the advance was not as sensational. The price for that deliv ery rose to 00c, or 3&c above yesterday's close. Realizing sales resulted In May declining to $Il.05c, while July fell back to 04c. Another illy followed the last few minutes of trading, MXay closing at 51.05 and July at 05Hc 1he early com market was weak. There was genVral selling after the opening, and appar cntli not much com wanted. May opened un changed to lie higher, at &8W4f50ttc, but de cllnt-d gradually to C5c. Prices responded to lmpt ovod buying. May advancing to 07?. Al though profit-taking carried the price down fron the high point, the close was strong at B0TS57c. July showed a gain of 6c. clos- lng t 55c, after ranging between 54c and 1lefe was an active general trade in oats. -with the tvt Jpmand coming from shorts. May sold ixprcen 4sy,c and 4(c, closing at 4D.sc. July ws up ld at the close. The provision market was active and strong throughout the. entire day. Buying by pack ers and outsiders, tocether with covering by shorts, were the factors that resulted In gains throughout the whole list. Small receipts of hogs, with higher prices at the yards and the strength In grains were Instrumental in bring. lng out tho demand.

RESISTANCE IS STUBBORN STOCKS HOLD UP DESPITE UN FAVORABLE-FACTORS. New York Market Duller and Nar rower Than for Nearly Four Years Past-Less Demand for Money. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. The character .of the stock market showed no change today from that of the whole week. The effects of the lay's pressing factors were very mod erate, and were well resisted. But once the depression, was overcome, all Interest In the market abruptly terminated. There seemed to be a waiting demand for stocks on any declines, but no buyers were at hand .to follow any advance. The principal pressure upon the market came from foreign, sources. This was well absorbed, and prices were at no time down to the London parity. The sentimental effect of the decided upset In the Paris and Berlin bourses was very slight. The severe declines on the Paris bourse are attributed' to financial needs, caused by the shrinkage In Russian securities, which are a poor sale at the present time, eo neces sities must be met by the sale of other se curities.. The special weakness of state funds In Paris might, however, be due to Inti mate knowledge of diplomatic affairs not available to other centers, which would ex plain Its greater sympathetic effect on other foreign markets. The lavorabie bank statement was a help to the resistance to depression here. The $JTt544,4O0 Increase In cash was not unex pected and Is attributed to a return of money from the South, where the collapse In cot ton speculation has decreased the Immediate need. Some of the money sent to Baltimore Is believed also to have come back. The loan decrease Is evidence that corporation borrowings have been largely supplied out of the previous loan expansion. It Is probable also that the proceeds of railroad loans axe left on deposit with the tanks pending the need for employing the 'unds. which are available to the loan market In the mean time. The market closed about steady, and not far from last night's leveL The week's market tor stocks Una been duller and narrower than for nearly four years past. The news of tho week has not been favorable to advancing prices, but the adverse developments have been almost equal ly wunout effect In bringing sales upon the market. The stubborn resistance of the mar ket to all unfavorable factors has prompted me proiessionai traders once or -twice to attempt to advance prices, after testing their acuity to depress them without success. The occasional upward movement5 here and there were without news to account for them and were quite evidently due to the testing op erations of traders who are at the end of their resources to effect a sufficient move ment of prices In either direction to afford a basis for their dally operations. Tho pro iessionai operations have mode up almost entirely mo market, the action of which, or its non-actlSn. is evidence of the stronsr hands In which the stocks are at present loagea ana of the small speculative position open. Holders are apparently Indifferent to the day-to-day developments, and seem to be content to hold their property for more pro pitious market conditions. The same spirit is seen In the colic of uie rauroaa companies to negotiate temoora loans at a comparatively high rate of Inter est rather than to attempt to issue new se curities at a time when the demand Is list less and almost stagnant. At the same time. an occasional selling movement at one point or anotner proves to be almost without ef fect on prices, giving tho Impression. In view of the narrowness of the market, that po tential support lies behind It. The effect this week has been to cause a most absolute rigiaity. The continued large borrowings by railroad corporations has been viewed with mixed sentiment. The continued stability of the money market In face of these demands and future requirements In view has left little room for apprehension of any constriction of credits on that accoint. The publication of the controller's compilation of National Bank returns on January 22 makes It evident that tho loan expansion of the last few months has been restricted to New York bankn, "tho -ew iork increase for the period reachlne $78,000,000. with the aggregate for the whole country showing only $4,000,000 increase. Wall street has dwelt much for a long time past on the large proportion of railroad earn logs which have been diverted to betterments and permanent Improvements and which would not have a permanent place In the operation expenses where they have been figuring. The present borrowings Indicate no immediate prospect of reduction of expenditures ahead of dividend claims, and in some cases they are for the funding of expenditures already classed as charges en earnings. Meantime the declining tendency of gross earnings con tinues, the decline showing an Increasing rauo over since last Summer. The falling off In the demand for money In the country at large 13 not an altogether reassuring development In Its bearing upon me rate ot activity of business In general. The Far Eastern War and the threat of complications In the near East overhang tho market, but are regarded as of Importance in this market principally through the possl bio effects on European money markers and the reflex effect here. Another Influence Is the possibility of an early decision In the Northern Securities case. Bonds have been dull and heavy in a very narrow market. United States 2s and the oW 4s have advanced and the 3s coupon per cent on call curing the week. NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT. Cash Item Increases to the Maximum of the Year. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The Financier Says The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York Associated Banks last week was the net Increase of $7,514,400 In cash to the maximum of the year. This amount of Increase closely corresponds with the gain of $7,017,800. which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of Monday during the week including Thurs day, February 11. This correspondence be tween the bank statement and the estimated gain Is the more remarkable because the statements of the two previous weeks showed wide discrepancies, that of February 6 in. dlcatlng a loss of $2,500,000. while the stl mates called for a gain of nearly that sum and the return of February 13 .showing a decrease of f 1.OC0.OO0, whereas the estimates indicated a gain of more than $2,000,000. Moreover, the statements of the previous two weeks included one day which was omitted in computing the estimates. The deposits last week Increased Jl.GdS.100. and conse quently the required reserve was augmented by $417,025. Deducting this sum from the net gain of $7,544,409 cash, as above, leaves $7,127,375 as the Increase in surplus reserve to $27,500,000. This. It may be noted. Is the maximum of the year and within $474,175 of the highest surplus reserve in 1003. which was recorded on January 31. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $37,007,500 public funds, the surplus laat week was $37,000,075. The loans were reduced $5,131,100, reflect lng the light demand from stock exchange borrowers and commission houses resuftlng from the Inactive speculation. The state ment was probably made upon rising aver ages for cash, this having been an apparent' ly unrecorded saevement of money represent' lng deposits of public funds which have been sent hither from interior points In anticl patien ot the Treasury call for their sur render: the movement of money from the South to this center was also large toward the end of the week. Comparisons of loans show that five of the larger banks decreased this Item by $5,000,000 net; changes In cash Indicated that four of the Institutions gained $3,700,000 net. It Is noteworthy that the public deposits of the banks were increased last week by $542,700.
