v- THE SUNDAY OEEGONTAN, PORTLAND, JANUABX 8, 1905. 15 SUGAR WAR ENDED Trust Comes Out of Fight Victorious, PRICES UP FIFTEEN CENTS Western Refinery Abolishes 25 Per Cent Rebate Allowed on Condi tion Its Selling Prices Are Maintained. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 7. The local fiurar war has ended, by the local refineries dolus away with the rebate of 23 per cent allowed,, on condition that refinery selling prices were maintained, and the simultaneous suspension or rate-cutting by the Arms which recently withdrew from the Pacific Traffic & Com mercial Association. The "Western Sugar Re "flncry today sent out a new price list, of which the Bulletin says: "The previous card prices for sugar wero 10 cents per pound higher than the new prices. "While on 'its face this looks llko a reduction of 10 cents. It is virtually an ad vance of 15 cents, for the refiners were pre viously selling granulated sugar 'in Quantity' less 25 per cent rebate and 25 per c4at 'off for cash at $3.50 per 100 pounds. The net cash price is now $5.65, or 15 cents per 100 pounds higher. The refiners seem to hare come out of the fight victorious, for they have done away with the obnoxious rebate and are now able to get 15 cents per 100 pounds more for their sugar." (Portland Jobbers were apprised by wire early In the day of the action taken by the Sugar Trust, which they say was not un expected. "The Traffic Association has ful filled its mission." said one of them, "and if it comes to an end now, no harm will be done. Everyone knew that sugar would go vp instead of down, and we can look for the advance Monday. This coast has long been belorv a parity with Atlantic prices and the actual tendency to values was upward. The only thing that delayed the advance was the threatened invasion of the Coast field by the Hawaiian product. Some of the dealers were more apprehensive over the situation than they had any cause to be. The output of the In dependent refinery was only a drop In the bucket, and the trust could have been well left to take care of it.") Klaber Selling Some Hops. SALEM, Or., Jan. 7. (SpeclaL) Herman Klaber. of Tacoma, now hero, notwithstand ing the statement that he would sell no more bops, disposed of 75 bales to D. Jessup and 75 bales to Catlin & Linn for 29 cents.

PRKEJffCLiNED TO YIELD BUT PRESSURE IS "HOT1" URGENT IN STOCK MARKET. Any Evidence ef Support Tends t Check the Selling Bank State ment Disappointing. NEW TORK. Jan. 7. Prices of stocks were inclined to yield "again today, but the pressure was not urgent and any evidence of rapport In the. market tended to check the selling. 8uch support developed for Eric and Reading during the course of the first hour' and a prac tically complete recovery of the opening de cline was made. There was a good demand for Illinois Central, -which "was accounted for by unsubstantiated rumors of an Intended In crease in the dividend rate. At the recovered level of prices the demand became so languid as to cause fresh discouragement over the fail ure to appear of the January reinvestment de mand, and prices sagged away again at the last, making the closing weak and dull. Disappointment was-professed over the bank statement, but the showing was not calcu lated to produce more than a. nominal Influ ence with the extreme ease ruling In the money market. The fact Is not doubted that currency has started to move la a strong tide to this center and the failure, of the bank statement to reflect It Is attributed to cross currents in the movement which confuse tho computation by the average system. The metropolitan traction stocks were weak from special causes, notably the" threatened competition for their suburban traffic, and their aharp declines had a sympathetic effect on the rest of the market. There were per sistent rumors, such as have circulated for some days, that the report of United States Steel earnings for the final quarter of the year would prove, less ea tie factory than preliminary estimates had promised. There was much discussion of the conference of political lead ers which was announced to assemble at "Washington during the afternoon to consider the programme for Congressional action, in cluding legislation concerning corporations and tariff" revision. The weekly mercantile, re views offered no grounds for selling stocks, and the enormous figure of the December an thrastte output was & helping" Influence upon the firmness of-the coalers. The favorable In dustrial news failed, however, to stimulate any demand for stocks and the market for bonds was also quieter than during the early part of the week. Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,800,000. The stock exchange contingent started the new year on Tuesday with a number of Im portant happenings to account for and spent rather a busy day. But the subsequent deal ings showed a large abatement of speculative Interest and a growing tons of hesitation and Indifference. The fall of Port Arthur and the dlclsion of the Northern Securities injunction suit In favor of tho company had been long counted on. But -they were responsible for a spurt In tho market, nevertheless. Interpre tation of these events, was evidently a favor able one from the point of view of the finan cial world. But the natural effect of realis ing sales with the good news out was to cause some reaction In the level of prices. The London financial public has held a clearly defined xainvlctlon that the fall of Port Arthur would servo to hasten the end of the -costly struggle in the Far East and bring to the world the benefits of an early peace. This opinion has been somewhat modified by the course of events during the week and the apprehension has giuwu up that the termina tion of the war U still indefinitely in the fu ture The disaster to the Russian arms has raised some misgivings also as to the success of the forthcoming Russian loan and there has been some liquidation in the London market for Paris account, which is supposed to bo due to the large commitments of that center of capital hrRu8slan securities. This has caused & reflex expression to eome extent In other great centers of capital. In the case of the Northern Securities de cision, the taking of profits has added Influ ence to tho movement. In the first place, the determination to appeal the case and tha stay thus effected in the proposed liquida tion of the company comprises an Indefinite prolongation of the litigation. It had been hoped that & plan of settlement had been ar ranged that would be promulgated promptly on the reaching of a decision by the court. Much speculation and large stock market commit ments have hinged on the supposed terms of this settlement and confidence had been felt that It would result In such an arrangement of control and relations In the whole trans continental railroads as" would accomplish all that had been Intended by tho abortive North ern Securities merger, and more too. The non appearance of these plans has Involved a, state of surprise' upon the speculative element who held stocks la expectation of a demand to be stimulated by announcements which have not come. The bsllef continues general In the financial world that great projects are working out in the railroad world and It Is commonly ex pected that the great accumulation oX money resources In New York this Spring, which seems Inevitable, will be taken advantage of to secure the additional capital required for these projects. Rumors of their formation are vague and various, but stress is laid upon the supposed extension of the Rockefeller Interest la New Tork Central and on the admitted In tention to add Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania, to the New Haven directorate, as going to show the direction of policy of the combina tion. The money market has been abundantly sup plied and passed through the annual settle ment period with very slight symptoms of pressure which "was relaxed almost immedi ately, contrary to the usual experience, which rtiows a continuation of pressure for several days after the turn of the year. This condi tion of the money market deprives the per sistent outflow of gold of any substantial effect on affairs, although there is .sentimental effect on the stock market. The market for bonds has been broad and a good Investment demand has been evident. United States 4s registered declined U per cent and the coupon advanced 54 on call during the wek. smPk' QUOTATIONS.

The Financier eays: The most notable feature of the official states ment of tbe New Tork associated banks was its failure to reflect In the cash Item the large gain which -was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week, an Increase In legal tenders partly off setting a loss in specie, while the estimates In dicated a gain of mora than .$7,500,000 cash. It is difficult to account for this discrepancy upon the theory that It was caused by the week's exports of gold, for these shipments were included in the estimates and, more over, the traceable gala was chiefly from the Interior flow of currency. The net decrease la cash shown by tfie statement was $795,300, specie decreasing $4,870,800 while legal ten ders Increased $4,075,500. Deposits were augmented $5,119,500, which was $2,873,300 in excess of the sum of tbe increase In .loans less tho loss of cash. There fore, tho statement showed an unusually bad proof. The required reserve was Increased $1,279,875. through the augmented deposits. which requirement, added to the net loss of cash, made a decrease of $2,075,150 in surplus reserve to $11. COS. 250. or about $3,000,000 less than the surplus at the corresponding date of 1904. Computed upon the basis of deposits. less those of $22,781,200 public funds, the sur plus last week was $17;S03,000. Loans were Increased $3,041,500, reflecting probably or dlnary lending operations. One Interesting feature" of the statement Is that with the exception of 1902, this Is tho first time In 15 years when there has been a decrease In surplus reserve Even in that year the reduction la this item was less than $500,000. The statement of averages for the clearing house banks of this city for, the five days enows: Increase.
