HEAD OFFICE IN PORTLAND Object Is to Establish a Market Val ue for the Commodity to Be Reg- . ulated by the Supply' and Demand. 1 . Th Pacific Cascara Company, composed of th I a nest holders and principal dealers In Cascara. bark In the Northwest, has been organized bene with a capital stock Of 1260.009.

The bJeot of the company, as stated tn the articles of Incorporation, Is to boy and sell Cascara bark herbs, roots, eta It Is the- purpose to establish- a market value for , bark to be regulated by the supply and demand. For some time past the bark market has been In a demorallied condition, whlcn tt ts said le not Justified by the quan tity of bark known to .be In existence, and the regular requirements of the trade. The only source of supply of Cascara bark In the world new Is Onraron and Washington. As the consumption Is In the- East and in Kurepe, any lmprorement that occurs In the price will prove of direct, benefit to these atatea.

COLD WEATHER CHECKS FKC1T TRADE. Northern California Celery Reported to Be Froseo. Tha cold weather kept the Front-street fruit trade down fo a minimum. As most stock was kept indoors because of the frost, the street bore a holiday appearance. Apples and oranges were the firmest fea ture Receipts consisted of five, cars of bananas In fine condition, one car of Southern Cali fornia oranges and a car each of celery and sweet potatoes. Reports from the South a ere that celery waa f rosea In Northern California, which will add to .h scarcity and the firmness of prices. A report from Consul John H. 5nodarass, of Kobe, statea that the Japanese Depart ment of . Agriculture and Commerce has de termined to grant a substantial sum In aid of its experimental station to Investigate the exportation of oranges. It Is stated that '.there la a larga demand for Japanese oranges In Hawaii and the United Statea every Winter, but the exporfr has been greatly hampered hitherto by difficulty In - packing the oranges so that they shall be free from the ravages of parasites In' tran sit. It Is to discover some method .of over coming thi trouble that the Department of Agriculture and Commerce Is cow Interest ing Itself. The potato market waa unchanged. There was a stronger local demand, but not much waa done on shipping account. . FIRM TONE IN GRAIN MARKETS. Barley Still Belns; Sent to California Local Receipts.

BUT DEMAND IS BACKWARD Colorado & Southern Helped by Confirmation of Pnrchas by Burlington Foreigners on Selling Side. NEW TORK, Dec. K.r-Tbere was a sub sidence of-the severe selling pressure In the stock market today and support seemed to be effective in sustaining prices. The de mand did not prove aggressive and was backward In following any considerable ad vance In prices and the list weakened sharply at the end. The publication of a reassuring statement from the president of the American Smelt ing Refining Company seemed to check the liquidation In that stock and its re covery relieved the market from a source of sympathetic weakness. There was a conspicuous rise In Colorado A Southern securities,- embracing the stocks and bonds, the latter marking -even a more marked advance than the stocks. This is one of the minor railroad properties which has figured most often lately in rumors pointing to absorption into one or the other of the large railroad systems. The working out of a project to cover the carrying trade from the Northwest to the Gulf of Mexico is indicated In this project as wli as in others Involving other railroads between those regions which have also figured in similar rumors. The purchase of the prop erty in the interest of the Chicago, Burling ton Quincy was practically confirmed dur ing the day. Foreign operators In American stocks were Inclined to look for a bad effect from the expected weak bank statement and they sold stocks In this market, helping in the early tone of unsettleraent. The American Railway Association's committee reported another Increase in the totnl of surplus cars for the half month ending December 9, amounting to 42,814, bringing the total of 173,645 up to the highest flguro touched since September 2. The very general distribution in the in crease In Idle equipment In all sections of the country gave an unfavorable idea of the progress of railroad traffic. The bank statement. In its details. Is an Illuminating exhibit of the efTect of .a rise In money rates on deposits with New York Clearing-House Banks, on which they pay 2 per cent In other banks and trust com panies. The reduction of over (16.000.0o0 in the cash holdings of the clearing-house bartka, which was the cause of the edvance In money rates, ha been accomplished by a reduction of (23.5')7.30O In the loan aver ages and of (48,111,500 In the actual loans, and that in a week that has seen an un usually large amount of important new financing and enlarging demand for banking credlta The Increase of (16.466.600 In the loans of trust companies and other banks points to the source from which part of the new resources were secured. Presumably Interior hanks depositing in New Vork Clearing-House Banks also have placed loans on their own account In New York by draw ing on their New York correspondents. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, (4,800,000. United 6tates 2s registered declined M per cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Amal Copper 22.900 7K.

Most of the stock offering Is dressed Eastern. Many retailers are lay ing In a supply of this, fearing that local stock will be senrco next week. Despite the arrival of five cars and the reports that ten others are due. many retailers through out the city tjelleve prices will be high and that money invested In turkeys at prevailing prices will be a good investment. Today's prlo2i ranged from 20 to 24 cents. Th cold weather Is stiffening the egg mar ket. Dealers had no difficulty in securing 4 and 47 cents for the best local ranch. Butter was unchanged at S7 cents. There was some talk of an advance, but prices are so high that several of the prominent dealers object to putting them up again unless ab solutely necessary.

BftRELY SAVES SURPLUS ONXY DECK EASE IX DEPOSITS PREVENTS ITS EXTINCTION. Remarkable Statement of the New York Clear! ng-Honse Banks. -Big Drop in ILoans. NEW TOR.K, Dec. 1. The Financier will say: The associated banks of the City of New Tork made one of th most remarkable statements Saturday covering transactions of the previous week ever known In their his tory. The loan Items showed a necord breaking decrease of (48,111.500, while de posits were contraoted by the enormous sum of 3,7:5.000. The loss in cash during the. week was (16,678.400. The unusually large changes were due primarily to payments made on account of the Panama loan, the United States Treas ury receipts for too week having exceeded (57.000.000, while payments out of the Treasury were less than (34.000,000. The loss of actual cash by the banks for the week exceeded the total surplus reserve re ported for the week previous and the only thing that saved the reserve from extinc tion was the great decrease in deposits, which lessened the reserve requirements by over (16.000.000. As a matter of fact, the reserve on all deposits decreased only (746, 000, leaving the present surplus reserve based on actual conditions at 114.184.05. The summary of state banks and trust companies In Greater New York not re porting to the New Tork clearing house showed, as has been the case for two weeks past, a heavy increase in leading Items. Loans expanded (16.466,600 and de posits (14.605,000, while cash Increased less than (850.000. The clearing house banks now hold 26.2 per cent cash reserve and the total reserve of the state banks and trust companies waa 28.60 per cent. The atatement of average of the clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks heHd (10.009.700 more than the re quirements of the 26 per cent reserve rule. This Is a decrease of (6,889,825 In the pro portionste cash reserve as compared with fast week. Ths atatement follows: Decrease.

The advices caused weaknoss In the wheat market at Liverpool, which was later reflected In the local market. A further decline in corn prices here also induced considerable selling of wheat. There was no new demand for cash wheat here and no new export busi ness was reported. The corn market was again subjected to heavy selling pressure by leading elevator interests which resultod in still further de clines in prices, the low point today for May being reached at 59?tc. which was also the"' bottom price for the July delivery.
