WEAKNESS AT LONDON Selling at New York Carries Price Down and lu Some Cases All llio Gains of the Week A re Ixwt. NEW VOltK. March 16. An alarming; note from London, h'ntlng- an inter national crisis, probably was respon sible for the arrest of the upward movement of tbe stock market. This note Indicated some danger to the peace of Europe, and waa supposed to deal with the relations between Russia and Austria. American securities were weak in London, where a further slump In va rious Industrials was witnessed. The speculative account in that market es pecially In mining shares, clearly la much over-extended, and today's heav iness reached the gild-edged railway Issues. There was some recovery from the early decline, but this was fol lowed by another selling' movement, with Increased activity. Today's low level obliterated a larsr part of the week's -rains, and in some cases all advantage waa lost. Low priced railway Isauea and minor indus trials were relatively stronger than standard stocks. The bank statement was interesting chiefly for an actual decrease in loans. Instead of the Increase which was looked for because of the greater ac tivity In stocks. In rash, the loss was a little more than 12.500.000, and the reserve waa Increased by about $600. Ooo. This marked the first increase in about two months and put cash re serves at substantially $17,000,000 as against S24.000.0UO In the early part of February. The bond market today was Irregu lar. In keeping; with the movement In securities. Total sales, par value. 11.2(1.000. Registered 2a and the 4s advanced H per cent and 2s coupon M per cent on call during the week. CLOSINO PTOi'K.

Th cattle market at the week's close shows a weakness and lower prices as com psred with the week previous. Cows and butcher stuff sold out of proportion as com pared with the price of steers, occasioned by the stronger demand for the butcher classes. Packers are heavily loaded with steers and the shipment of dressed beet by Middle Ststes Interests to this market has mad It difficult for Northwest killers to unload their supplies. D. O. Lively, vice-president or the Port- lsnd Union Stockyards, says: There Is tn unfair tendency on the part of certain inexperienced market reporters to take top loads at river market and make comparisons that reflect on this point. The average droves purchased by the packers Missouri River and Chicago points cost fully 1 cent lesa than purchases made at North Portland." The hog market was steady to strong throughout the week. The tame facts sp plying to ths csttle purchased apply to hoga For the first time In two years a few tops at Chicago have sold at prices slightly In advance of the Portland market, but the average of the entire purchases of Chicago packers were made at prices fully SI less than apply on this market. The sheep msrket was stesdy to strong throughout the week.

CHICAGO MARKET FIRMER Prices .Move Upward, but tlie Ad vance Is Stayed by the Slump In Corn, Which loses Four Cents on Iho Week. CHICAGO. March 16. Vafrue hints of trouble ahead for the British govern ment served today to make sellers of wheat use caution. As a result the market closed steady with prices the same as last nljrht to He advance. Latest trading; left corn He to e down, oats oft a shade to .i&iT&c and hor products varying from unchanged figures to a rise of a nlckeL A fall in British consols lent Im portance here to cable prosslp which otherwise would have been Ignored by speculators in wheat. Complications threatening; an international crisis formed the nearest to an explicit state ment that the pit could learn regard ing the cause of uneasiness abroad. The effect, hotrever, was sufTlciently bullish to be felt throughout the day. Weakness of corn kept wheat low but there was nothing like the approach to demoralization that was apparent yesterday. Corn closed within Hp of tie lowest figures of the week and nearly 4c under Monday's high point. An improved outlook for farm work weakened oats. Trade in provisions was light with values a trifle advanced. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. ..11.01 61.01H Low."

"S IN'CE leaving: home I learn that Idaho is classed In the Insurgent column." said S. L. Boyd, a lumberman from Coeur d'Alene, yesterday at the Portland. "It was news to me, as I Just came from the state and the gen eral sentiment among the Republicans is undoubtedly for the re-election of President TafL He Is a wonderful man but Is entirely lacking in the traits of the professional politician. He has ful filled all the promises made to hTs party before election and It would be a misfortune to the country to have him replaced. Koosevelt has become so radical as to be entirely unsafe and this Is the way the great mass of Re publicans of Idaho look upon him. . The Democrats of the state are shouting for Champ Clark and it looks as If he would receive the support of the state delegation to their National conven tion." DO not believe that any Repub- llcan can carry Illinois at the next Presidential election except President Taft." said Wythe Denby, a Chicago range manufacturer at the Portland. "He ia tbe only man, who. cas, hold, tile Republican strength together as Roose velt would be knifed by a large ele ment of the business Interests and their following. He is not considered safe and hears about the same position in the public eye that Bryan did 12 years ago. The Democrats of Illinois fully realize this and are assisting as far as rt is in their power to advance Roose velt's candidacy. He is the Democratic choice for'the Republican nomination, as they feel that with either Harmon or Clark they can carry the state against him." X GOLDSMITH, a retired silk manufacturer of New Tork, Is making his first visit to Portland in 22 years. In 1865 he engaged In busi ness in this city and continued until 1890 and during that period was one of Its leading merchants. At the Multno mah, last night, he said: "The growth of Portland is wonderful and I think that I might have done as well by re maining here and surely there would have been more compensation In the actual pleasures of living. Strange as it may appear, there is less political talk among business men this year than I find in the West and it affects business . less than in any previous Presidential year for a long time. My observation is that Mr. Taft will re ceive the Republican nomination, and I am sure that New York City and state will give him their support. Colonel Roosevelt has made a great mistake In announcing his candidacy and he has no following among the large commer cial Interests of the Eastern business centers. The Democrats are very much at sea as to their candidate and are becoming so -Involved among, them selves that It Is very possible the nom inee of that party will be some one who Is not now prominently men tioned."

Willard fr. Plank was awarded S;17no tod.ny by the jury in the case of Plank airainst W. I. Mu'-sr. to recover $10, 000 for the ali-erialion of Mrs. Plank's affections. Time was granted in which to hie. a motion for a new trial. An attorney for the defense said a o'ecision as to appealing to the Su preme Court has not been dex-ided. Arguments in the case were com pleted just at noon, and tlie verdict was announced five hours later. Final evidence, was in Friday afternoon, the principal points of the defense having developed the last day. The chief point for the plaintiff was the arrest of Morse and Mrs. Plark on the night of February 6 on a serious charge. The defense set up the plea that Mrs. Plank, having decided she must get a divorce, and seeing Morse on the street that evening, had ap pealed to him for a loan of money. Not wishing to talk on the street, he suggested that they go to a room he had in his building. Pearl, the 11-year-old daughter of the Planks, was called as a witness for the defense, standing by her mother, although she is in her father's care pending his suit for divorce.
