The potato market Is showing a good
degree of firmness under the stimula
tion of a shipping: demand. Buyers are
operating quite freely and are paying
lull prices for strictly fancy large size
smooth potatoes. Small stuff does not
appear to be wanted.
A private letter received from Wis
consin yesterday said that the State
-would have a large crop of excellent
Quality. Advices from Denver said o
the potato situation in Colorado:
"The Colorado potato season opened
last Monday, to continue until May of
1907. It is estimated that during the
6eason fully 15,000 cars of potatoes will
be sihipped to outside States. The Colo
rado & Southern Railway has Inaugu
rated a "spud special." which leaves
Denver daily with a solid tralnload of
potatoes for Texas, and the first special
of the season left last Monday promptly
on time on the fastest possible freight
schedule with 30 cars of the famous
Greeley potatoes for the Lone Star
State. But for weather conditions dur
ing August that ruined a large number
of potato fields in the northern district
the growers estimate that the crop
would have been Increased 5000 cars, or
a total output of 20.000 cars.
While Greeley is the largest potato
producing district in Colorado, splendid
crops have been raised in the western
part of the State. Particularly in the
vicinity of Montrose. Delta and Carbon
dale have the potato growers been suc
cessful and it is estimated that these
growers will ship at least 6000 carloads,
which, with the 10,000 cars that the
northern district will send out. will
swell the total to 15.000 carloads. These
figures are considered conservative.
HOPS MOKE ACTIVE.
Seventeen-Cent Deals at Salem Are
Confirmed. i
A gradual increase in activity is re
ported In the hop market. Local dealers
are advising their Eastern connections
that the market has opened and an in
crease in orders from those parts is ex
pected in the coming week. Hop men are
numerous in the country districts and
while many of them are sampling and
taking in contracts, their operations are
not confined to these lines of business.
Details of most of the transactions are
.withheld and rumor continues to play a
large part in the market.
The two 17-cent deals reported in these
columns yesterday have been practically
confirmed. The trades were between Sa
lem dealers and the choicest grade of
exporters was specified.
Hans C. Walberg has made the first
shipments of the season from Washing
ton County. He purchased the C. H.
Brooks lot of 26 bales at Hillsboro at 15
cents and 58 bales from C. P. Kruger, of
Middleton, at the same price. Both lota
were choice and have been forwarded
to the East.
Among yesterday s business was the
purchase of 79 bales from C. Le Beau, of
Sherwood, by Klaber, Wolf & Netler.
A private cable received from London
yesterday said: "Market has declined."
BAN AX AS ARRIVE LATE.
Southern Oregon Peaches Are Hard
to Move.
The four cars of bananas looked for
yesterday did not arrive until late In the
afternoon. Two cars of sweet potatoes
arrived, one In crates and the other in
sacks. The sacked lot was not in the
best condition. The car of Eastern Con
cord grapes Is cleaning up well. Some ex
cellent Tokays arrived from Jacksonville
and brought $1.50. Southern Oregon
peaches, of which the supply is large, con
tinue to drag at SO cents to JL A small
lot of remarkably large, well-colored
peaches was received from Klindt, of The
Dalles, and brought tl:25.
Poultry Closes Weak.
Poultry was cleaned up at buyers' prices
yesterday and the market closed very
weak. Bemnants of chickens were dis
posed of at 13 and 12V4 tents.
The egg market showed no particular
change. In some quarters local receipts
,were reported large while in others stocks
were almost bare. The general quotation
on ranch stock was SI cents.
The butter market was Bteady and un
changed. Wheat Active, but Weaker.
A larger volume of business is reported
In the wheat market, with the farmers
generally ready sellers. An easier under
tone is the result of declines in other
markets.
A fair demand for flour Is reported from
Japan and North China ports, but little
4s doing with Hongkong.
Bacon One Cent Lower.
A decline of 1 cent in prices of bacon Is
announced to take effect Monday morning.

LOSS 13
NEW YORK BANKS' HOLDINGS
DID NOT INCREASE.
Decrease of Nearly Four Millions in
the Past Week Surplus
Reserve Is Less.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The Financier
eays today:
Unexpectedly, because all the indica
tions seemed to point to a material in
crease in the cash holdings of the banks,
the official statement of the New York in
stitutions last week showed an important
decrease in this item. The traceable move
ments of money appeared unmistakably
to show large increases in cash as the re
sult of the treasury operations and gold
imports, which gains were only partially
offset through the net lose to the interior.
The majority of the estimates encouraged
the belief that the statement would show
a gain of about $3,000,000 cash. The bank
returns, however. Indicated a loss of
$3,797,300. It seems to be quite possible
that the disposition which was made of
the new public deposits that were effected
with the local banks during the week may
partly account for the discrepancy be
tween the above-noted estimated gain
and the actual loss in cash, the Govern
ment deposits Indicating an increase of
$3,375,00(1 compared with the previous
week, withdrawals of cash by trust com
panies, incident to the required Increase
of $10,000,000 in their reserve, may also
have affected the bank statement.
General deposits decreased $2,720,300,
which amount closely corresponds with
the sum of the decrease in cash lees tbe
Increase In loans; therefore the statement
made a good proof. The required reserve
was reduced by $680,075. deduoting from
whlah the loss of cash leaves $3,117,226 as
the decrease in surplus to $9,423,125. Com
puted upon the basis of the deposits, less
those of $30,479,200 public funds, the sur
plus is $10,042,925. Loans were expanded
by only $1,158,400.

HALT IH TRADING
Stock Market. Moves Within
Narrow Range.
BUT PRICES HOLD STEADY
Craze for Speculation In Mining
Shares Likely to Result Disas
trously to The Investors.
The President's Speech.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6. (Special.) The
principal matters that have come before
the attention of the financial community
this week are the progress of the politi
cal campaign In New York, the state of
tbe money market, the smaller Increase
than many had expected in the Atchison
dividend, and the reports from the ne
gotiations for leasing the great Northern's
ore lands to the steel corporation. As in
fluences on the stock market these things
have been very conflicting and there have
been times when prices have wavered
and times when trading has grown dull,
denoting perplexity and unwillingness to
uauundKQ xresn ventures. xui un uro
whole the week has been more favorable
than otherwise. The market has moved
within a narrow range. The active trad
ers are ready to testify that selling stocks
short is very risky. Assuranoe is almost
complete that the difficulties and perils of
a month ago in the money market have
disappeared for good and all.
The craze for speculation in mining
shares, reflected in this week's curb mar
ket, is a matter that calls for serious at
tention, for the rush of the public to buy
the low priced mining issues that they
know little or nothing about, can have
only one ending, and one that may have
an unpleasant effect on the' general finan
cial position.
On the other hand, it Is more agreeable
to note the market's calmness In other
channels. The President's speech on
Thursday, when he reiterated his views
more strongly than ever on the subject
of Government regulation of corporations
and for a larger supervision of both pri
vate and corporate wealth, did not affect
the market as greatly as was expected.
Money Markets Relax.
With the satisfaction of the extra
ordinary requirements of the October set
tlements the money markets in New York
and of the world sensibly relaxed. The
stock market has had some benefit from
this course of events, but the demand for
stock has been halting and irregular and
the price movement in consequence uncer
tain and narrow.
Fears that the pinch in the money
market would be extended beyond the
first of the month proved unfounded.
Money on call went no higher than 9 per
cent on Monday and from . that time re
ceded progressively day after day to an
average below 6 per cent. Banking fig
ures were a testimony to the enormous
transactions completed on the first of the
month. Clearing-house exchanges in
New York on Monday were the largest,
with three exceptions, in the history of
the clearing-house. The Bank of Eng
land relaxed its recent policy of severe
discrimination against the stock market
class of borrowers. In spite of this let
ting down of the bars, the demand of
New York upon London for gold relaxed
and foreign exchange rates here ad
vanced. All this was accepted as evidence that
the great strain on banking resources,
reflected in the banking figures, repre
sented past requirements and that the
great resources thus tied up were flowing
back promptly Into the channels of the
money market.
The New York market has felt the ben
efit in addition of the deposit of Govern
ment funds with the National banks.
The event has proved that many of the
interior banks to which were offered por
tions of the $26,000,000 of Government
funds Old not avail themselves of the
proffered- facilities and the treasury
authorities have allowed the New York
banks to take over the remainder thus
uncalled for by the interior.
The causes of the halt In the securities
market. In face of this relaxation of the
money market, were not clearly defined.
Reports of business conditions show un
remitting activity and abounding pros
perity in all departments. It has been
the common supposition that the string
ency in money was the only restraint on
an animated speculation in stocks that
reflect the rising earnings of corpora
tions. Some part of the explanation lies
In the large, extent to which powerful
capitalists have accumulated stocks In
defiance of the recent stringency in
money and are desirous of distributing
some part of the holdings to meet the
demand attracted by the easing of
money.
United States Ss have declined Vi and
new 4s per cent on call during the
week.
Ore Deal Stocks Decline.
The late stir in the stock market yester
day, in anticipation of the announcement
Of the terms of the ore deal which was
made after the market closed, proved
short-lived today. The market relapsed
almost immediately after the opening into
the listless and sluggish condition into
which it had been falling lately. The
docks Immediately concerned in the ore
deal closed lower all round, and were at
no time much higher than last night.
United States Steel was freely supplied
In the neighborhood of 49, although not
urgently pressed for sale below that. In
view of the accurate outlines of the ore
deal which have been current for a long
time, and of the many times that prices
have been advanced on the strength of
it. this behavior of the stock was disap
pointing. The restraint on the rest of the list was
partly sympathetic There was a demon
stration in Erie, apparently intended to
help In holding the market. General Elec
trio advanced sharply with rumors of a
control of American Locomotive. But the
general market proved heavy.
This tendency was emphasized after the
appearance of the bank statement, which
proved widely out of line with all the
forecasts. Cash holdings decreased
$3,797,300, where an Increase of between
$8,000,000 and $9,000,000 had been estimated.
The heavy operations of October 1 were
believed to have thrown the averages out
of line with the actual condition of the
banks. The growing ease of the money
market was considered a more reliable in
dex of conditions. The Bank of England
today lost upwards of $6,500,000 withdrawn
for Egypt. Russian finances also continue
a disturbing Influence abroad. Diversion
of attention to the automobile race was
considered partly responsible for the
apathy of the day. Total sales of bonds,
par value, $1,076,000.

FQRGEPR1GES DOWN
Chicago Wheat Market- Is
Without Support.
CLOSES HALF CENT OFF
Chief Factor In Situation Is In
crease in Receipts in Xorthwest
and Southwest Decline
a Liverpool.
CHICAGO. Oct. 6. The wheat market
was weak all day. The heavy profit
taking of yesterday left the market with
out short support and, with general
selling today, prices were readily forced
down half a cent- The chief factor in
the situation was the increased receipts
both In the Northwest and Southwest.
For the first time this season receipts
at Minneapolis and Duluth were larger
than for the corresponding day last year,
arrivals today befng 813 cars, against 7S3
last year. The weather was highly fa
vorable for the movement of the crop
and Indications point to a still larger in
crease during the next week. A report
from Kansas City claimed that the move
ment In Kansas, particularly in the west
ern part of the state, and in Nebraska,
would be much larger were lt not for
the shortage of cars. A decline at Liver
pool was a -weakening influence at the
opening of the market. The principal
buying was by shorts. The close was
weak. December opened a shade lower
at 74c sold oft to 7373c and closed
ic to c off at 74c.
Free selling by local longs caused weak
ness in the corn market. Larger receipts
than were expected and the weakness of
wheat were Influential factors Impelling
the selling. Another factor was an estimate
on the total crop of Iowa, which placed
the yield at 398.000,000 bushels, an Increase
of 65,000,000 compared with the Government
figures. Demand came largely from
commission houses. The market closed
weak. Deoember closed c to c off at
4242c. Local receipts were 357 cars,
210 of contract grade.

SAILOR BRUTALLY BEATEN
On Ground It "Was Unnecessary,
Policeman Peterson May Be Tried.
The trial of James Frazer,- a sailor, ' tn
the Municipal Court yesterday morning,
substantiated his charge of brutality
against Policeman Ben Peterson. The of
ficer arrested Frazer on a charge of
drunkenness and landed him at the police
station in a badly bruised condition. Pet
erson claimed the sailor resisted arrest,
and that he was compelled to use force
to protect himself. Several witnesses were
examined yesterday, and their testimony
Indicated that Frazer did nothing more
than to hold back when the officer tried
to take him to the police station. For
this he was severely beaten.
Judge Cameron dismissed the sailor on
the charge of resisting arrest and fined
him $5 for being drunk. Charges of bru
tality will probably be filed with the po
lice committee of the Executive Board
against the policeman.
Young Man Violently In6ane.
Alexander McDonald, a young man re
siding with his parents at 514 Montgomery
street, was arrested at 6 o'clock last
night by Deputy Sheriffs Harry Bulger
and Frank Baty and lodged in the County
Jail on a charge of Insanity. For some
time he has been developing symptoms of
a mental disorder, but his relatives hav
been reluctant to take proceedings against
him, in the hope that he might recover,
but the malady has been gradually grow
ing worse, and yesterday his brother
swore to a complaint He will be exam
ined by a commission tomorrow
When taken into custody at his home,
young McDonald put up a vigorous re
sistance, and it was necessary lor the two
officers to strap him down while taking
him to jail in the street-car.
Insane Through Domestic Woe.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzgerald, of Burns, Or.,
aged 37, was yesterday committed to the
State Insane Asylum. Her malady is due
to domestic trouble and worry.
C. F. Johnson, a St. Johns laborer 67
years old, was also committed for Insan
ity, caused by excessive drinking About
two years ago he also fell into a cess
pool, sustaining a fracture of his skull,
which was thought to have had some ef
fect upon his mentality. .'
