THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, 'PORTLAND, AUGUST . 21. 1904. 15 NOW IT 18 FROS Everything Helps to Boost Wheat at Chicago. MANY DISTRICTS THREATENED Continued Excitement in the Wheat Pit and Prices Rapidly Advanc ing Market Closes With a Gain of Over One Cent. CHICAGO. Aug. 20. A suggestion of .killing frosts before Monday In Canada and In the Dakotas sent wheat higher than ever during the present season. Buyers were kept In an Intensely excited mood by the continued flood af dispatches from the Njprthwest giving sen sational stories of rust damage and alarming predictions of what might result from a frost before Monday. The market had lost none of Its recent bullishness when trading started, and the opening prices showed gains of c to lc for the September delivery, at $1.10 to $L104, and for December c to llc, at $1.12tf to 5L12. There was plenty of wheat for sale at those prices by proflt-tak-lng longs. September sagged off to $1.0854, with December back to $1.10. There was no suggestion of a weakening market, however, and the buying was resumed for an hour with as much eagerness as though the craze had Just broken out. At those prices, $1.11 for September and $1.12 for December, there was more liquidation, which operated to bear the price for the near month to $L10. The close was strong at $1.10, a gain of lc Decem ber broke to $1.12 and closed llc higher, at $1.12. Sentiment in the corn trade underwent a radical change over night. "When the mar ket opened today there was little for sale, and a large number of buying orders to fill. September opened at a net advance of c to ia The strength was stimulated, by the bull ish excitement prevailing In wheat, traders apparently paying little attention to the weather, which was in the main favorablo for the growing crop. September closed c higher at Mc, and December lc higher at 63c Oats at the outset were strong, the tone being influenced entirely by other grains. Local long selling caused a reaction to 34c, where It closed firm and unchanged for -the September option. Provisions ruled Arm, with only moderate activity, manifested. The price of live hogs was 5c higher, and had its influence on de mand for provisions. September pork closed 6c to 7c higher, at $11.80. Lard was up a shade at $6.90, and ribs gained 2c.

Suspicion of Manipulation by Pro fessional Operators Crop News and Situation in SteeUTrade. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Yesterday's profit taking was In continued evidence in today's stock market. Resistance was offered to the decline until tho fears aroused by the re newed flight in tho wfceat market weakened the Grangers and turned prices In general downward sympathetically. United States Steel preferred was- determinedly supported In the early dealings, In spite of the further re ports of unchanged conditions in that trade Tho dealers grew suspicious of a speculative origin for. some of the damaging reports in. the steel trade, and profess to detect a very large uncovered Interest In United States Steel preferred. These factors have a deterrent ef fect on 'plans to attack the stock by short sales. Pennsylvania, also, was conspicuously Arm. and the anthracite carriers showed. good resistance under the favorable Influence of -a reported agreement on a plan for the settle ment of differences between miners and oper ators in that trade A violent break in Metropolitan- Securities, which carried Metropol itan Street Hallway down with it, gave'added force to the reaction, and the late weakening of tho Grangers caused the whole list to give way. The leading gralncarrlers all lost in the neighborhood of a point. A fractional rally was Interrupted by the further drop in Metropolitan Securities, and the closing was Irregular. Tho bank statement furnished no surprises. The moderate expansion made up an import ant part of the Increased receipts, but there was a sufficient cash increase to more than keep pace with the additional requirement, thus adding '$882,775 to the already Abundant surplus. Total sales -of bonds par value, $1, 225,000. The stock-market this week has been irreg ular and at times quite weak, but reactions have been resisted and overcome by the gen eral course of prices, which has been upwards. This was in the face of some heavy selling to take profits and against the sentiment of a large part of the professional operators, who have looked for a reaction. Some of the week's news has offered a rather formidable prospect to holders of securities, but this was also Ignored, and offerings of stocks were steadily absorbed up to the higher level at tained by prices. The crop news of the week has been dis tinctly unfavorable to stocks. The material reduction In tho wheat crop, which has re sulted in the, damage from rust, however, is generally admitted, and the extent to which this may go is recognized to be a factor for future determination. Even more Importance is attached to the corn crop for its promise of an effecUve offset to the unpromising out look for wheat. Foreign shortages of wheat are looked to to stimulate" a large demand for corn, so that a large crop of that cereal will play an Important part In the year's pros perity of the country. The week's misgivings over the progress of that crop was, therefore, a serious factor In the stock market. Re portsof deterioration from lack of moisture were received with much anxiety, and the danger still to come of harm from frost to corn was a restraining infiuence on speculation. The gravity of the situation In tho steel trade Is also freely conceded. Price cuts al ready authorized In that trade have offered a basis for Industrious calculation as to the direct effect on earnings of tho United States Steel Corporation. Beyond that direct result Is the effect to be expected in inducing a waiting attitude on tho part of the consumers whose indisposition to make commitments on a falling market or with a chance for lower prices will naturally follow. While this condition has not been without pome effect, the sympathetic effect on the gen eral market has been surprisingly tame. The same was true of the labor sltuaUon, which was not promising. Trouble in the New York trades was extended, and the meatpackers' strike was still a subject of dally attenUon and discussion. That prices of stocks should continue to make headway against a com bination of disturbing influences in this way has been a cause of surprise and of come sus picion of manipulation by parties of profes sional operators. Tho condition of the money market offered a strong attraction fort the holding of stocks. The call loan rato has ranged from 1 per cent to per cent, and there is practically no de mand for time loans aside from the longer period. The easiness of the London market has diminished the probability of any call for gold from that quarter, andy shipments from Australia to San Francisco continue to be made In any event. Interior money markets show the, beginning of the Fall demand and the Interior exchanges are turning against New York. But with a surplus of $60,000,000 In New York bank vaults, the coming demand is viewed with equanimity. It is expected this demand will como up to the usual volume, and the higher prices ruling for grain and cotton may. swell the usual domand. But possible future contingencies of this sort are not of much effect in the face of a half per cent call money rate. Railroad earnings show a general Improvement, and traffic has good prospects. There Is a strong supporting factor for stocks. The demand for bonds has not been active, but prices have been well maintained. Unit ed States registered 3s have advanced , the 3s coupon, the new 4a registered and the old 4s . and the 8s registered , while the new 4s coupon have declined on call since last W!elC CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

The Financier says: The features of the official statement of tho New York associated banks last week were new high records for specie, cash and depos its, a further expansion in loans, bringing the total to within $674,800 of the maximum on July 23, and an increase In surplus reserve to within $3,400,475 of the highest, July 2. 1898. The net cash gain last week was $1,401,100. or les3 by $835,200 than that which was esti mated on the basts of the traceable movement of money; this discrepancy may be satisfac torily accounted for. It probably being due to tne system of averages. The deposits in creased $2,438,000, which was less by" $1,736.- 100 than the sum of the increase In loans and the net gain In cash; therefore, the statement did not - balance. The reserve requirements were augmented $609,500 as the result of the Increase In deposits, deducting which sum from the net gain In cash, left $881,000 as the increase Jn surplus reserve to $58,613,075. the highest, as stated, since July 2, 1898. when It was $62,013,550. Computed on the basis of de posits, less those of $23,378,900 public funds, the surplus Is $64,457,800. The loans were expanded by $2,693,000, probably reflecting syndicate borrowing and also loans of the proceeds of sterling and France finance bills. The dally average of bank clearings last week was $186,000,000, or $21,000,000 more than In tho previous week, reflecting, the in creased speculation on the Stock Exchange.
