as available supplies are limited.
Oranges from Northern California, being
octter colored than those from the Southern
section, have been ued by the local trade
since the season opened, but shipments of
bouthern California fruit are promised Jn the

M-stcrday. only a few dressed turkeys that
rrnea too late being carried over. Good
pri.-cs were realized all around. The Pro
duce Price Current of a local commission
Arm says of the situation:
Market has been Very firm all week, and,
though we. advlaed heavy shipments, we did
not get nearly all we needed of any aort.
Droned and live turkeys have been very
arce at 18622c. and geese have also been
In firm request at 11c on live, and 13rHC
a dressed. IVc do not get nearly enough
fancy dressed geese at this time of the year,
and can sell them by tho thousand If fancy
and fat and at top price. We hope that
poultry men will raise more geese hereafter
and get them real fat for Christmas and New
Tear's trade. We had omc fancy ones this
.eaion, one that weighed- 1 jwunds. Good
thickens have been very firm this past week
a ll'sei'Jc. and live ducks are very Arm at
ir.fMtk it 8 likely that the demand for
.Iresscd turkeys will caw off a little after the
Jliot of the year, but a few fat ones will eii
for a good prlco any time.
EgKS were steady and fairly active yester
day. 28 and 30 cents being the quoted prices.
There was no change In the butter mar
ket The supply of both butter and cream
was somewhat better, as was to be expected
at the close of the year, but shorter supplies
are looked for In the coming week.
A compilation of the prices current In the
butter market In the past year showH that the
top grade of Portland city creamery butter ha
averaged 2S.7 cents, as compared with 27.3
cents In 1IKH and 2S.4 cents in IDOX Other

Advices from Southern California are that
the late frosts killed many of the tomato
vines and hlpments from that section will
be materially reduced. Other kinds of vege

There are heavy supplier of potatoes In

ments in the closing deallncx when htv
throwing wer of holdlnzj caused a number
or rapid declines, followed in some cases bv
rapid recoveries. The rarure In Amalgamate!
The immediate outlook In the mosev mm
ket rcmalnw much obscured, Tlia rreatest re-
llance is placed for early relief from strinc-
ency on the disbursement of the dividends and
interest due. for the payment of which great
iunos nave been accumulated. The sever! tv
ui una weeirx stringency Is attributed prin
cipauy to this preparation. It Is believed
also that the accumulation of resources by
o uwi companies for the purpoM of 'win-
dow dressing" for the January 1 statement
or their condition, which U required of those
institutions, has played an Important part in
tne constriction of the week's monev kuiv
ply and prompt relief Is hoped for from the
release of fund accumulated for this purpose.
On the other hand, there 'is some apprehension
that very heavy obligations contracted in tho
course of the sjeculatIon may fall due next
week, especially In the foreign exchange mar-
ari. ana win require to ie met or renewed.
There was- much dlecusslon of the probable
enect on sentiment of the December charges
tor interest which will go out to the cua
tomers of stock exchange commission hourcs
next week and which, it U 'believed, will dls
close a hlr.h average of carrying charges.
Littio attention was paid to the bank
statement, which conformed pretty closely to
expectations in the each change. The heaviest
lending by the banks la supposed to have
been done towards the end of the week, and
thu would have a diminished effect in the
average changes for the week as a whole.

bpeculation has maintained a buoyant cos
fldence thlr week in the face of the severest
stringency of the money market and of one
or two episodes that would have been seized
upon to unset confidence in ordinary times.
The easemesa of the speculation, after chaf
ing impatiently under the constraint of the
high money rates and some degree of forced
liquidation, broke through all repressive In
nuences and there was a rush to buy rtocko
at rapidly rising prices. The determination
was unprecedented In the experience of the
oldest operators and was viewed with unaf
fected amazement and some degree of Irre
pressible anxiety. The rates paid for money
on call at the Stock Exchange reached 110
per cent and 123 per cent was paid privately
In times past, such a ritv in the moner rate
na precipitated heavy liquidations of stocks
and even in the full tide of a rising market
has turned prices abruptly downward and
thrown the market into panicky conditions.
The most notable precedent was that of De
cember IS. ItW. when an animated specula
tion for the rise was interrupted by the out
break of the Boer war and heavy demands
upon New Tork for gold by I -onion. The ex
haustion of bank reserves here, which result
ed in the necessity for calling in loans, ran
tne rate for money on call up to ISO per
cent and forced a spasm of llouldation
stocks to recuperate the banking peylttan.
This week s rate for money was the blehest
touched at the Stock Exchange since that
time. In September of 1002 the eeraln e
over-extended siieculatlvc position did
carry the rate higher than 35 per cent. In the
panic of May, 1IH)1, precipitated by the North
em Pacific corner, the hlchest rate quoted
was lit per cent. On all of these ooeaslsns.
the runnlng-up of the money rate was the
signal for indiscriminate unloading of sleeks.
the rate of Interest lIng regarded as prehlb-
ltlve of boldinf of stocks on margir.
In strong xmlrast with the precedent.
the speculative position has been firmly main
tained this week, and rates fer money, for
merly regarded as prohibitive. ha-e been paid
by epeculatlx'e holders. Various motives may
be distinguished to make up the obstinate
confidence with which the speculative position
has been maintained. Underlying them alt fat
the conviction that the conditions of prosper
ity in the country at large, already beyond all
precedent, are deMlned to a further indefinite
expansion. The expected coming demand for
stocks Is relied on to absorb present hold
ings and to advance prices to an extent that
will pay for the fraction of 1 per cent per
cay whlca present Interest rates amount to.
In addition to the" prices now paid for stocks.
The portion implies reliance on a promm re
laxation In the extreme tension of money after
the year-end requirements are wet. which wlli
put a short limit on the present exhausting
rates paid for interest.
Rumors were current of the formation of a
money pool among the great New York
banks to provide i fund for lending in the
stock market, as was done in the period of
.trlngrncy of 1P02. A tacit agreement wan
allowed among bank and great money lend
er to restrict the rate demanded on stand
ing call loans until the passing of the crisis.
These factors combined to protect the s4oek
market from damaging consequences from
the stringent money market.
The cause of the stringency is summarised
as great activity In trading and expansion In
enterprise in all liner, delayed outgo of cot
ton and grain shipments by railroad frets; lit
congestion, which llmlu the supply of for
eign exchange, the pressure on foreign
money markets betoiusc of the Russian situ
atlon. which discourages the drawiac of ex-
change In anticipation of merchandise ex
ports, and the unbridled demands of the
stock speculation coming on top of an al
rcaoy over-extended credit position. The
soundness of the business situation Is with
out question and the Chicago bank troubles
last week and there at Memphis this week
nave not Impaired tho feeling of confidence.
But the clearly defined pinion exists that I
tne speculative extensions at this time In I
face of the strained money situation, exceed
in boldnets and daring anything in the mod
em Tiistery of speculation.
Dealings In bonds have been moderate and
the market has not been free front depres
sion. United Slates 2s advanced and the
3s and old 4s per cent on call on the
week.
