"A natural apathy was apparent in the cattle market this week, following the biiy stock show, when exceptionally heavy shipments were made. Cattle prices suffered a severe slump, top quality goine: at cents lower and other grades at even more of a decline. Killers had supplied their needs tem porarily and will have to work off the surplus, but :us liquidation will be liht for the next few months the situation la expected to improve this next week. "The horr market dropped off 10 cents during the week, with extreme top at $7.85 for the week's close for choice stuff, with heavy atock 10 to 15 cents down. Liberal liquidation increases the sensomiMo wtakness. "The sheep house business held up well for the week. Some choice mut ton and lambs were marketed.

NEW TQRK. Dec 20. An emphatic response was made by the stock mar ket today to the news from Washing ton of the American Telephone disso lution agreement and the passasre by the Senate of the currency bilL Deal ings were on a much larger scale and prices moved up vigorously. It was felt that the dissolution agreement, besides removing from American Telephone the menace of a suit under the Sherman law, probably would lasen talk of Government owner ship of telephone and telegraph com panies, which recently has been an active factor in depressing American Telephone and Western Cnion to the lowest quotations for years. The state ment of President Theodore X. Vail, of the telephone company, that "neither the F.ell system nor the Western Union will suffer," helped the upturn. Of more influence than the dissolu tion agreement Itself was the state ment of President Wilson in that con nection. expressing the Administration's hope of helping "to build up the busi ness cf the country upon sound and permanent lines." It was felt that the American Telephone agreement indi cated what might be done, in cases of other corporations under scrutiny or attack, and that, in view of the At torney-General's expressed hope of avoiding cnti -trust suits, stock market disturbances, incidental to such pro ceedings, might be minimized. American Telephone was the center of excited trading at the opening. The first transaction was given as a block of 2000 shares at 120 to 124, sales 3hi points apart being made at the same time. The top price was 124 4, a gain of 7 points, which compared with the week's low figure at 110. Subsequently there was a reaction and the close was at 1224. Other securities of wire companies Rise were strong. American Telephone convertibles- were bid up ?. points, as was Pacific Telephone. Stocks of the Mackay companies, whichcontrol the Postal Telegraph, rose 2 to J. West ern Union started with a gain of I points, but later reacted 5, closing with a net loss of 2t. The whole market was strong and active. Sugar, National Biscuit and Canadian Pacific gained 3 to 4. Ad vances in general ranged from 1 to 114. Bonds showed strength. Total sales. par value, $2,100,000. United States 4s coupon advanced hi and Panamas Sa coupon on call on the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C.

NEW YORK, Dec 20. With the ap proach of the year end, speculation showed a disposition to wait on the annual settlements, and financial mar kets were slow, although at the close of the week there was increased ani mation and strength. The improve ment was attributed to the stimulating influence of developments at Washing ton. Passage of the currency bill by the Senate marked the virtual completion of a long period of uncertainty regard ing changes to be made in the coun try's banking methods. Recent amend ments to the bill were received with favor in financial circles. The agreement for disolutlon of the American Telephone & Telegraph Com pany, without recourse to the courts, gave promise of a lessening of disturb ances which have attended enforce ment of the Sherman law. The 'hope was expressed that liquidation of se curities had been completed, even though further trade contraction may have to be faced. Expectations of an easier money market after the turn of the year were modified by consideration of the extent to which postponed requirements may affect monetary conditions. The bond market showed a few signs of antici patory reinvestment demand, although January disbursements will constitute a record. Firmness in steel prices takes the form of unwillingness to contract for distant periods, rather than growth of new orders. Mercantile orders are light, but for prompt delivery, indi cating low stocks. Railroad traffic is falling off and working forces are being reduced. Hazards of the season detract from the favorable speculative influence of the high-condition estimate of Winter wheaL ANOTHER GAIN tS SUBPLCS -sXESERVES New York Banks Gain Five Millions Cash in Week NEW YORK, Dec. 20.

CHICAGO MARKET EASIER Snow Protection to Winter Crop Also Acts as Check on Bullish Senti ment Corn Iiower on L4irge Keceipts. -CHICAGO. Dec, 20. Snow West and Southwest, giving needed protection to the Winter crop, acted as a check today on bullish sentiment regarding wheat. Tho market closed Htclic under last night. Corn showed a net loss of a sixteenth to oats finished H off to a like advance, and provisions vary ing from 10c decline to a gain of a shade. In addition to the snowfall, news regarding the Canadian wheat tariff made caution seem necessary on the pnrt of the bulls. Dispatches from Win nipeg asserted flatly that the grain would be made duty-free in January. Reduced estimates- on the Argentine exportable surplus put much strength in the wheat market in the first half of the session. More than four million bushels ex cess this vcok In receipts here over shipments pulled down the corn mar ket, notwithstanding temporary strength, due to tho forecast of a cold wave. Prospects of a record-breaking crop in Argentina cut a figure, too, in easing prices off. Oats merely reflected the action of corn. Elevator interests supplied the wants of shorts. Provisions averaged weaker, as the supply of hogs at the leading Western points showed an increase of 38 per cent compared with a year ago. Liqui dating sales were noticeable in Janu ary pork."

M'CUSKER ASKS QUESTIONS Use of Carbolineum Urged for In terstate Bridge Roadway. PORTLAND. Dec. 20. (To the Edi 'tor.) A few days ago I asked some questions regarding -the Fourth-street improvement and up to this time no one has come forward with an answer, and I have about come to the conclu sion that like the boy waiting for the core, "there ain't going to be no core." so I will not expect an answer. My questions related particularly to the use of creosote-treated wood blocks as againat carbolineum-treated blocks. I cited the fact that the railroad com pany, after the bridge burned, relald with carbolineum - treated blocks, owing to the greater durability and lessening of the fire risk. -- I notice in The Oregonian that the new Broadway Bridge, which has been open about six months, and which was paved with creosote-treated blocks, re quires repairs to the extent of $11,000. There seems to be some question as to who will be obliged to stand this, but it is dollars to doughnuts that the, taxpayers of this community will be the goat The representative of the people who constructed the bridge says that the matter will have to be submitted to the repair department which Is in the East as this is only the sales depart ment here, or in- other words this end takes the money, but if you want any thing back, you must see the other fellow. Mr. Banks, of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, says that they have a bond of S2600 from the creosote company, but I gather from what he says .that ;t mav not be possible to compel a company with a J2500 bond to do $11,- 000 worth of repairs. Why should tney It would ba much cheaper to forfeit tho bond. If I remember rightly, quite a num ber of years ago. the company that first paved Washington street did this. Mr. Modjeski says that the fault was due to not putting enough pitch on the blocks, and as the weather was wet, it was inconvenient to use pitch, or in other words this is a dry weather bridge, and creosote-treated blocks can only be laid to advantage when the roses are in bloom, or in the light of the moon, etc He also lays part of the blame to fine sand being used for a cushion, this being necessary for drainage, and it washed away. Somewhere in the Bible or Shake speare there is a warning against building your house on sand, as it always washes away, and I presume this would also apply to bridges. Some advertising man says "There is a reason." so there is a reason for writing: this. We are about to construct the great Interstate bridge across the Colum bia and as the taxpayers are interest ed, that is. In a small way, we should try to avoid a few of the mistakes of the past An ounce of perfection is better than a pound of excuses, so I offer a few suggestions. The Madison - street bridge -was paved with carbolineum-treated wood blocks and laid in wet' weather: that was about three years ago, and no re pairs have been required, which goes to show that the-weather has no ef fect on the efficiency of this material. They were laid on a plank base coat ed with pitch and no sand was used, hence there was none to wash away. Carbolineum makes the blocks im pervious to water, hence they do not need drainage. ' The carbolineum company is a local one. its members being some of our .most representative business men with a high financial standing, so that they are always within reach to- make good their guarantee. Instead of a nominal bond which Is more in the nature of a farce, why not let the contracts to responsible firms and exact a sufficient bond that can be collected? This is the taxpayers' money and the men in whose care It is should throw every safeguard possible around it No reputable firm who intends to give value received will object to giving a guarantee for Its work. I am told that a cement base is talked of for this bridge, and I am informed by reputable engineers that this, while being more expensive, is not near so durable as plank. This may seem strange, but the rea sons given, are logical: v In the first place, - very heavy weights are used to operate the draw, and the vibration when the draw is being opened shakes every fiber in the bridge, and this vibration will in time crack the cement and cause it to crum ble ard drop away. Cemant base can not be patched, consequently the entire floor must be relaid, while any section of a plnnk floor can be taken out and replaced. If the base floor is made from 4x12 plank treated with carbolineum, it will last for 25 years, and if four-inch carbolineum-treated blocks are used, they should last for 10 years at least or until they are worn down by actual surface wear. Before the contract Is let and the ma terial selected is the time to investi gate and if the best material is select ed, no excuses will have to be offered hereafter. No mntter how reasonable they are, they give the taxpayers a pain. ' THOMAS M CUSKER. , BLUE SKY RULE FIXED IDAHO COMMISSION CLAIMS RIGHT TO SUPERVISE STOCK SALES. Certificate Granted for Pocateilo Car Line on Condition That Promoter Gives Monthly Statement. BOISE, Idaho. Dec 20. The Public Utilities Commission of this state claims the right of supervising the securities issued and negotiated by public service corporations. It took this attitude on the application of J. T. Browning, of Salt Lake, for a cer tificate of public convenience and nec essity to build an electric railway sys tem in the city of Pocateilo. The Commission granted the application, but attached the condition that Brown ing shall submit to it the stocks and bond issues proposed to finance the railway for the approval of the Com- : : na n,all na a mnnthlv ntnte- ment showing the expenditure of the funds on the system aerivea irom me sale of the securities. That the Commission's requirement will result in litigation to test its right to attach such a condition to a certificate is conceded. It Is generally known that when the Public Utilities Commission act, now a law in this state, was introduced in the House of Representatives of the last Legislature, t. Ann.ninari a nrnvlsinii eriviner the II. uuiaiuvu - ' ' . Commission it createdl -authority to supervise securities of public service corporations. The Houe passed the bill In that form. The Senate, before ac cepting the measure, took out the su pervision clause after a strenuous fight, and with it eliminated the meas ure was presented to and signed by Governor Haines. Browning and L. H. Martineau were rivals for the control of the Pocateilo territory, in so far as the financing of a city electric railway line was concerned. Martineau obtained a fran chise from the City Council of Poca teilo a year ago, but failed to comply with its terms. Browning, in the meantime financed the electric line with the aid of Salt Lake capital, and made application to the public utilities commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, claiming that Martineau had not complied with the terms of the franchise that had been issued to him.

It is estimated by Dean Ayers that by an expenditure of not more than ? 14,000 the 5000 volumes could be added. He' believes that if the matter of rais ing this' sum were presented to the state bar the entire sum could be raised easily through individual subscriptions.

TIMBER TAX GOING UP HEAVY LOGGING IX LINCOLN COt'N TV DIE TO HOLDING COST. Stand Placed at Approximately 3,000, OOO.OOO Feet Paying; s Per Cent of Government Expenses. 1 NEWPORT, Or, Dec. 20. (Special.) The vast timber resources of Lin coln County are commencing to be turned into a commercial product. The reason for this is that standing timber is being assessed almost to its full value, so that, according to Charles H. Gardner, ex-County Judge, timber now pays 65 per cent of the county's taxes. Royal A. Bensell, of Newport, who investigated the timber tributary to Yaqulna Bay in the Spring of 190S said: "I found that besides 1.800,000, 000 board feet in the Alsea and Tachats regions of the country that there are 193 V4 sections of timber tributary to Yaquina Bay containing approximately 4,000,000,000 feet The timber is mostly Douglas fir and spruce, with some cedar and hemlock. "To help understand how much that is, it would require 387,o ireignt cars, each carrying 10,000 feet to han dle the lumber; and the train stand ing still would reach from Portland. Or., to Buffalo, N. Y. A train of ten cars leaving daily, except Sunday, would require 120 years to remove it; 7740 vessels, carrying 600,000 feet, leaving dally, would require 25 years to remove it, and all the men who fought In the War of the Rebellion could not cut it in a year even if they were experts," Yaquina and Newport will be scenes of activity when heavy shipping com mences, as the deep water of Yatjuina Bay will allow ships" carrying 1,600, 000 feet to dock at these places, and sawmills undoubtedly will be erected on the bay. The Panama Canal is pected to hasten operations in this sec' tion. Mill Owner Near Sliedds Suicide. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 20 (Special.) Despondent because of ill-health, Leo E.
