PRICE HELD DOWN
Large Shipments of Onions
Prevent Advance.
STOCKS BECOME SMALL
Quality of Some of "the Crops Makes
It Necessary to Dispose of Them
'ov Steady " Movement
in the Hop Market.
Liberal shipments of onions from this) state
fc the California market, together with tome
arrivals of Ka stern onlcroa, tend to keep prices
down in the Southern state. Statistically the
position of the market is good, but the pel line
hav been made necejuary by the weather con
ditions. Onions that are riot of the best keep
ing quality have to be worked off now, and it
Is onions of this class principally that -a He
moving. The good keepers are being held
ta-k and as the supply is rapidly decreas
ing, It is evident that better prices must
soon be paid.
At the meeting of the Confederated Onion
Growers Association yesterday the reports
submitted showed that only 87 cars of onions
are left unsold In Oregon. In the past two
eek0 P her wood has shipped six cars, and
rven more have been sold in that district,
four at fi.70 and three at $1,415. Tualatin
hipped one car and 150 sacks locally. Cedar
21111 shipped two cars. Beaverton 421 sacks
and Woodburn one car, a total of 12 cars
shipped and seven .sold for -immediate ship
ment. STEADY MOVEMENT IN OREGON HOPS
Trade Is Slow in Washington and California
Markets.
The movement In the Oregon hop market
continues steady with no variations in the
price. Advices from Washington report but
little doing there and the California market
is also slow. The association- movement is
progressing in the three states and additions
to the membership roll are being secured
daily. -
E J. Smith, who has been here some time
securing consignments of hops, has begun to
make returns to the growers. Yesterday he
reported to G. P. Gllbertson, of Barlow, and
Fred Anderson, of Aurora, the sale of their
hops In the East "at lO'-f.c, which they con
signed to him some time ago. These figures
net the grower Se here. These two lots
were of medium rb prime quality, making a
full carload and going direct to the brewers,
among whom Mr. Smith has a large ac
quaintance. He aleo reports t.ie ale of 100
Dale. of 11XMJ hops at tp-jc, netting the grower
41. c here.
English trade advices, dated from Decem
ber 10 to 18. say of the hop market.
Wild, Neame & Co., London A rather more
active inquiry during the past week has im
parted a better tone to our market, and values
exhibit a somewhat firmer tendency.
Manger "& Henley, London The trade for
good hops continues about the same. In other
grades It is of a hand-to-mouth character..
Yearling are neglected.
W. H. & H. Le. May, London The lower
prices now being accepted for all grades is
Inducing consumers', to cover-their require
ments, the' rates now ruling beint? below the
cost of protection. Such favorable conditions
for buying cannot be expected to continue.
J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester The de
mand for Worcester hos Is on a very mod
erate scale and principally supplied out of
merchants' stocks at about late rates. The
quantity remaining in nwt hands is very
limited, and holders are not disposed to force
sales at lower prices.

LARGE GAIN IN, CASH
Steady Progress Made Toward Ex
tinction of the 'Deficiency in the
Keserve Loans Reduced
$14,000,000. ,
NEW YORK. Jan. 4. The Financier to
morrow will say:
A was expected from the preliminary es
timates of the movements of money and
from other data showing reductions in loans
and deposits, the bank statement Issued
today was quite favorable in that it indi
cated good progress toward the extinction
of the deficiency in reserve. This item was
reduced to $11,500,550 as the result of an
Increase of $8,600,800 In reserve. The cash
gain during the week was $8,045,900; this
was due largely to receipts from the in
terior and It is noteworthy that such re
ceipts were larger than in the corresponding
periods In the past two years, which is, of
itself, a most encouraging factor.fr The re
ceipts of gold from abroad and from do
mestic sources contributed materially to the
above mentioned gain in -cash.
Deposits decreased $2,4o9,600 as the re
sult of the contraction" In loans and of the
augmentation in cash. The required re
serve against deposits was $614,900, adding
which to the Increased cash made $9.66O,W0
as the gain in reserve as above to $11,509,
550 deficiepcy. Public deposits were re
duced $2,500,000 because of recalls thereof
by the Treasury. Computed upon the basis
of deposits less those of public unds a sur
plus of $7,568,150 is shown.
Loans were contracted $14,822,000; this
was caused by the cancellation of loans
which had been temporarily effected in the
previous week with deposits of funds in the
banks preparatory to the distribution, of
dividends and interest. It would seem that
such payments will be largely increased dur
ing the coming week, thus contributing to
a further contraction- In loans and If there
shall then be a gain in cash, as seems prob
able because of arrivals of gold from Eu
rope and of a return of -currency from the
Interior, the deficiency may be well nigh,
If not entirely, extinguished.

STOCK PAIGES IRREGULAR
CROSS CTJRREXTS IX THE MOVE
MENT AT ALIi TIMES.
Northern Pacific and Reading Are
Still tlie Features Foreign
Situation tJnsettled.
NEW YORK, Jan. i- Tbe stock market
today bad an appearance of being whipped
into activity by artificial means, owing to
the extreme irregularity and inconstancy of
the movements. Upward and downward
fluctuations were constant and there were
opposing currents in the movement at all
times. Northern Pacific was a .focus of the
buyipg movement and rumors were revived
of a coming extra dividend disbursement on
the stock, for which there was no official
sanction. Reading, on the other hand, was
affected by profit-taking, which was con
ducted In an orderly manner, and desisted
on the declines in the stock. A number of
industrials were prominent for strength, in
cluding the coppers.
Foreign markets offered no assistance to
the advancing tendency here. Berlin report
ed some anxiety over the money situation,
discount, rate receded, therefore, in spite of
the weak return of the Imperial Bank of
Germany for the past week. Discounts
showed a hardening tendency In London
with the repayment of heavy obligations to
the Bank of England.
The publication by the Treasury Depart
ment of the statement of money in circula
tion on the first of the year disclosed the
continuance of the wide expansion of the
circulation of the country in December, the
addition for that month reaching $70,748,000.
This followed an increase in November of
$131,873,000 and in October of $70,000,000.
bringing the addition to the circulation, for
three monthB up to $272,621,000 and making
the total in circulation $3.078,9S9.000. . or
$35.4$ per capita, which is the highest per
capita circulation -ever reached in this coun
try. A good effect was produced by the reports
of savings banks authorities that withdraw
als after the first of the -year are turning
out to be no larger than normal. It was
thought possible that intended withdrawals
with the expiration of the 00 days' notices
after the panic in New York might have
been deferred until after the interest period
had passed.
Anticipation of the favorable bank state
ment was a factor in the buying of stocks,
but the irregular tone of the market per
sisted to the closing. The $8,000,000 gain
in cash by the banks Indicates that the dis
appearance of the currency premium has
brought some money out of hoarding from
local resources, as well as starting the in
flow of cash from the interior. Tbe de
crease in deposits is not as large as the
loan contraction would show when offset by
the, cash increase and a further cancellation
of clearing-house certificates is inferred
from this fact.
Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value.
$1,238,000. United States 2s have declined H
per cent on call during the week.

EUROPE AGAIN BUYS
Strong Export Demand for
Wheat in the East.
CLEARANCES ARE LARGE
Bullish News Causes a Strong Feel
ing in the Chicago Market and
Prices Advance Sharply The
Coarse Grains Also Higher. .
CHICAGO. Jan. 4. Wheat ruled strong all
day. The opening was firm because of light
receipts in the .Northwest and a marked de
crease in the world's shipments as compared
with last year. A slight decline, due to real
ising sales, followed the opening, but later a
rush of bullish news caused a recurrence of
the strong feeling. Large clearances, higher
prices for cash wheat and increased- demand
for export were the chief factors. May wheat
opened c higher at $1.071.07 , soM
between $1.06- and $1.08 and closed strong
at $l.oe(S.1.08.
The corn market opened firm because of
wet weather throughout the belt, but heavy
selling- by holders soon brought about a de
cline. On the slump, however, 'renewed spec
ulative demand and the -etrength of wbeat
brought about a firmer feeling and the mar
ket advanced to a level slightly above the
close of yesterday. May opened c to
c higher at 61-61c. sold between 60c
and 61c and closed firm at 6161e.
Oats were slow all day and trading was
light. May oats opened c higher at 54c,
sold between 64 and 55c and closed at 65c.
Provisions were lower and firm the greater
part of the day. At the close Alay pork was
10c higher, lard was up 2&5o and ribs were
2hr to-710c up.

FRATERNITY WAR BEGINS
f Movement to Urlve Them Out of the
Chicago Schools.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Otto C. Schneider,
president of the Board of Education, It la
announced today, will introduce a resolu
tion at the next meeting of the board
prohibiting the further existence of fra
ternities and societies in the city high
schools, and makins; membership in them
a ground for expulsion of pupils - from
the schools. Professor E. G. Cooley, su
perintendent of the Chicago schools, is
strongly In favor of the proposed action.
He said:
"The testimony of teachers seems to in
dicate that the general moral tone of
members is lowered by their experience In
this association-; that idleness, expense,
trivial conversation, love of display and
the spreadvof gossip all go with the fra
ternity, and that, in the case of some
special boys' organizations, we may add
to these the keeping of late hours, ribald
language, obscene songs, smoking, drunk
enness, gambling and social vice."
Since the enactment of the special board
rule prohibiting members of : fraternities
from participating in school activities and
the recent upholding of this rule by the
Appellate Court, the organizations have
felt their fight to be a losing one, but
such drastic action as now contemplated
by the school authorities surprises them.
What President" Schneider proposes, how
ever, is claimed to be in direct line with
a score of state decisions and state . en
actments made within the past three
Indiana and Kansas have
prohibited fraternities In the public
schools, and in several other states local
rules like the one proposed have been up
held by the court decisions.
Typographical Errors Corrected.
OREGON CITY, Or., Dec. 29. (To the
Editor.) My communication printed in
the magazine section of The Oregonian
of this date contains two or three errors
which make me appear so ridiculous as
a writer that I ask space for their cor
rection. In the fourth paragraph I wrote, "No
doubt the good father believes that; the
whole tone of his letter Indicates that he
is an honest man," etc. As printed the
semicolon following the word "that" is
omitted, and thus my meaning is entirely
changed and my language made person
ally offensive something I did not intend.
The word "that" had reference to a
quotation immediately preceding the line
in -which it stood, and not to anything
that followed it.
In the closing lines of another para
graph I wrote, "More of the aoul-lnspir-ing
lore of ancient Jerusalem and less of
the libidinous carolings of old Rome." As
printed the word "love" is substituted
for lore, and "llbinous" for libidinous.
But the last word of my article "cows"
instead of "vows." "Only let them 'keep
their cows" as though the' priests' jows,
If they had any, have anything to do
with the subject under discussion.
A few minor mistakes appear In the
article, such as "of ioys" instead of "the
boys," and "men's" instead of "man's,"
but the reader will detect them without
their being pointed out.

Leave9 Farm to M. E. Church.
SILVERTON. Or., Jan. 4. In looking
over the personal affairs of the late
Andrew Peterson, who died at his home
near this city New Year's day, it was
found that he willed his farm prop
erty, valued at $3500. to the Method
ist Church in Silverton. The farm con
sists of about 40 acres of land and all
improvements necessary to make it a
valuable piece of property. The will
provides, however, that Mrs. Peterson
will have a lease of the place during
her lifetime. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson
have no relatives in this country, and
if there are any living in their native
land, their whereabouts are unknown.
