THE SItNDAY OREGONIAtf, PORTLAND, JUNE 12, 1904. TURN FOR BETTER Improvement in Financial Sit uation at New York. PRICES OF STOCKS STRONGER Unmistakable Pressure to Find Env ployment for Idle Capital-Heavy Dealings in Municipal Bonds Cessation of Gold Exports. NETW YORK. June 11. The short session of the stock exchange today showed good sup port for prices, and ' the market closed firm at the top level of the week. There "pyaa con siderable realizing, but It was evident that sufficient satisfaction was felt over the color of the monthly crop report to prompt a good absorption of this realizing. The .-day's galne were not striking, hut the steadiness of prices. In view of the activity of trading, made the tone gcod. v- The bank statement showed about the ex pected gain In cash resources and sufficient tj meet the added reserve requirements by reOn of the rise In deposits, with a margin cf $3,801,524, which went to enhance the sur Ilus reserve of the banks. A report from "Washington asserted that permission had been given for the deposit of $2,100,000 at the New Y-rk Suhtreasury for transfer by telegraph to S.-.n Francisco, which Is -a. reversal of the recent current between the "two centers with out explanation. The market for investment securities begins to reflect unmistakable pres sure to And employment for Idle capital. Tray's bond market was broader and more S't:ve than that for stocks. It Is pointed out o!y that a large business is being done in high-grade- railroad bonds over the counters cf the bond houses which does not figure In t-e stock exchange transactions. The Finan cial Chronicle estimates that the municipal bonds sales for 2Iay reached $54,404,333. This in-ludes the $37,000,000 city bond issue, but the aggregate figures reached to one-third the total sales of municipal bonds for the full calendar year of 103. The same authority arserts that the active demand for municipal Issuia is prompting the continuing flotation of unusually large amounts of bonds. Total tales of bonds today, par value, $1,510,000. Prices of stocks have been strengthened this week and there has been an occasional stirring of something like speculative Inter est. These have been spasmodic, and at In tervals the market has relapsed Into the In tense apathy which has characterized It for a long time past. Tho market seemed to be free from pressure and the gains made on the occasional spurts have been fairly well maintained. The movement was largely due to professional operations within the ex change and was to an extent in sympathy with movements In special stocks rather than to any well-defined opinions on the general out look in business and industry. The growth of a hopeful feeling regarding the grain crops has furnished -a greater as surance over the business prospect In general. Reports of railroad trafllc officials and the tone cf mercantile agencies reviewa clearly dis close the opinion that the level of business, although admittedly lower than last year, may be regarded as on a firmer basis with good hopes of expanding after the political campaign, supposing the harvesting of good ckta. Some such confidence must be ac cented for explanation of the firmness of the market in face of the evident contraction In the present volume of business. The estimate of the May output and con sumption of Iron was the week's most strik ing evidence of this condition In showing not only a reduction In current output hut an accumulation of stocks on hand. Hal I road earnings made a continuous exhibit of de creases from last year's level and the de creased volume of bank clearings is evidence to the same effect. While money has -continued easy and In lit tlo demand, the cessation ot the gold export movement has been of good effect on senti ment. European money centers have grown quite plethoric Thero have been further large receipts of Japanese gold-at San Fran cisco, somewhat contrary to expectations, as the flotation of the Japanese loan was ex pected to check this movement f gold. Tho course of the Government revenues at "Wash ington arouses some doubta whether the Treas ury Department will be in & position to take measures for the relief of the money, market which have been employed at this reason for a number of years; A strong banking posi tion to meet the Fall requirements Is, there fore, regarded as essential. There has been some improvement In the Investment demand for well-secured railroad mortgages, but fluctuations In more specula tive bonds have kept the price movement ir regular. United States new 4 declined and the 2s have advanced H per cent on call during tho week. rOKTLAXD MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Ktc The Wheat market Is, If anything, quieter than It has been yet. There seems to be no disposition either to buy or to sell. Quota tions are unchanged, but 70 cents is the top for club.

As was expected, loans were expanded, rrobablv as th rexnit r engagements by commission-houses, and also 01 some syndicate Dorrowing; the amount of such expansion was. however, moderate, it be ing only $3.52S,100. Specie Increased $5,019, 100. while legal tenders increased $1,390,500. The gain In cash was there-nra Xfi ino rstn amount very closely, corresponding to that of $3,561,300. which was estimated on the basis of the traceable movements of money for the week. Deposits were increasfd Sin 43 -mv which amount was $3,503,400 below the sum of the increase In loans and the gain In cash; therefore, the statement did not bal ance. The required rwerve was I acre ay ed 52.C0S.078. deducting which from the gain in cash left $3. SOI. 524 as the Increase In surplus reserve to S5S.5C2.400. ty Tilrhasr nf ts - The previous maximum surplus was $34,203,700 on April 23.

One Cause of Weakness In Prices A Strong Demand for Future Peaches-Prunes Dull, Easy. SAN FRANCISCO. CaL. June XL (Spe cial.) Leading banks of this city are pur suing a cautious policy in the matter of loans upon grain and other products in warehouses. Several prominent interests have lately- been called upon -for additional security. The requests have been promptly responded to, but the news leaking out had a disquieting Influence upon the grain mar ket and doubtless contributed to the weak ness of prices in the past few days. Lead ing cereals closed lower. New barley is of fering freely at 97 cents. Oats sire quiet, pending the -Government awards. Feedstuff is firm.- Hay is easy. The feature of the cured fruit market is the demand for future peaches. Prices in Upper San Joaquin Valley opened at 5 cents and rose to 5 cents, but the advance checked business. The demand for fresh peaches from canners also strengthened the market. Spot prunes are dull and easy. Fancy Santa Clara, September delivery, re cently sold at 2 cents basis for New York, which is taken by many as the open ing figure Fre3h fruit was active on local account. Cherries, apricots, clyman plums, peaches, green apples and pears are in amplo supply with prices easy. Citrus and tropical fruits are quiet and steady. Potatoes are less active and easy, except forextra fancy. Old stoclf is very dull. New onions are weakening. Receipts of yel low are Increasing. Most kinds of Summer vegetables are easier. Tomatoes are In ex cessive supply. Butter and cheese are weak. Eggs are steady and less active. Receipts, 56,000 pounds of butter, 13,000 pounds of cheese, 39.000 dozen eggs.

EXCELLENT WEATHER MAP. Causes Weak Opening at Chicago, But Prices Harden at Close. CHICAGO. June ll.-An excellent map and the bearish Government crop report were the main factors In tho wheat pit at the opening, although an easier tone In foreign markets, had some effect here. Initial quota- July were off H to KHsc at 85c to 83S6c Sentiment was quite bearish A potent factor in tho .,.. m - .i.,wu it crop report of tho Northern Pacific Railroad Com- jKtuy. wnicn eiated that Spring wheat Is fully as advanced now as at the corresponding Ume j,. iJic ldgl lnal Harvesting Is well under way also seemed to attract traders to the bear side. During the last hour the mar ket showed some restatAnro tv n. v ucvimuiK tendency. Demand for September wheat was of sufficient volume to cause a considerable ad vance la that delivery. In sympathy with the firmness of September the July option made a partial recovery. After selling oft to 85c July closed at 85c '" A number of bearish Influences, the most potent of which were the weakness of wheat and a large increase in the movement tended to create a weak undertone In corn. The market closed at about the lowest point of the day. July opened at 48c to 4Sc, and closed at 4SU48c The oats market was slow. After opening unchanged at 39c. July closed at 39c On active covering by commission-houses and packers, provisions were strong tho en tire session. The belief still prevailed that Eastern capitalists held a long line of ribs. Strength of hog -prices was a help. At the close September pork was up 12015c at $12..(012.SO. Lard was 5c higher at $0.95 Ribs were up 7c at $7.37. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

Probable Object of New Salem In corporation. SAX.EM, Or., June 11. (Special.) . The Citizens' Light & Traction Com pany was incorporated today with a capital stock of 5200,000 by A. "Welch, Louis Sommer and M. Hoff, of Baker City, and I. Lowengart and Fred Lau german, of Portland. This company has exactly the same name as the Den ver company which now owns and operates the Salem street railway and electric light and gas plant. Several of the men named were in Salem last week examining- the property men tioned, and it is surmised that the new company will purchase the plants of. the old company of tho same name. It has been rumored for some time that there would be a change In tho corporate ownership of the property, and that the new owners will extend the railway system so as to connect Salem with near-by towns. J. J. Henry, of Denver, who owns a con trolling interest. in the present com pany, is also in the Baker City electric system, where he is associated with some of the gentlemen who have or ganized the new company. While nothing- definite can be learned here concerning the plans of the new company, it is believed that the incor poration of an Oregon concern will not mean an entire change of ownership. The understanding here is that new men have become interested in the en terprise and that Mr. Henry will con tinue to have a voice in the manage ment. , Since Mr. Henry assumed aontrol of the Salem street railway and lighting system the service has been greatly im proved, and it is understood that the plant which was formerly unprofitable has been placed on a paying basis. Salem people are watching the move ments of the light and traction people with great interest, for they have long desired electric line connection 'with adjoining towns and believe they soon will secure it.

CHICAGO, June 1L By an explosion to day in a huge sewer being constructed along Thirty-ninth street, manholes were blown off for many blocks, the street was badly torn up, and a frame building de molished. Four men were killed. Three workmen, accompanied by City Engineer Guy Mlltimore, who carried a gasoline torch, were going down into the sewer, when they encountered sewer gas, and the explosion followed. All four men were killed. In addition to sewer gas It is thought possible that petroleum had leaked into tho sewer, as for 15 minutes after the ex plosion the fire burned fiercely. AT THE HOTELS.
