But the advance in Missouri Pacific and the Kries is accepted as strong proof of tea recent outgivings to the effect that the strongest banking interests re working for higher prices, and to make a mar ket on which to sell the stock which tight money forced out last month and the month before. Morgan is Quoted as aggressively bull ish, and it is believed that the big finan cier and James R, Keen, the largest In dividual operator In the market, are working in accord on the bull side. Mor gan is said to entertain very optimistic views, both as to the monetary situation and the stock market, and it is the be lief" of shrewd observers that as long as money is easy the present bullish ma nipulation Will bo successful, and that it may even succeed In getting outsiders into the market again.

The corn market may be lnflu enced more or less by the outcome of present efforts of Buatern and Western roads to supply their patrons with cars. it the Westorn roads make the most speed "in getting the sttimtlon in a "nor mnl phase, the corn will come pouring In from the country and will be locked here. If, on the other hart, the Eastern roiids work the fastest and supply cars to the shippers here be.fore the corn, begins to come from tine West, the grain here will become scarce and the price will ' be marked up. Some think the Eastern r na els are likely to get into shipping shape first. Hut, on the-other hand, the Western roads are probably being urged the most by their patrona. "There was a new sensation in the wheat market yesterday," said James Pettit. "The pit traders, after passing the grain around among themselves for a fortnight, suddenly realised there were outside buyers among them. I have not changed the opinion I have adhered to with no comfort of late, that good wheat the sort we are trading in. will bring high price, and that the poor wheat will go to a heavy discount "I think corn all this year will be worth 46 cents," says L. J. Lamson "So I naturally considered May a pur chase. Still I would like to see a stretoh of good January weather and a normal supply of cars East and WBt. Perhaps these considerations might ease the price off some. A speculator likes to buy property less than ha thinks it worth." "The Minneapolis mills last week ground :26,000 barrels, as compared with 334.000 barrels in 1902 and a (7,000 barrels In 1001," says the Northwestern Miller. "There was an appreciable improvement. In the domestic demand for flour last week. Of course, business in December was ex tremely dull, and It could scarcely con tinue. Home mills sold flour In excess of their reduced output, and there was a feeling among millers that the market was' showing a better condition." tw fork Summary, '' NEW YORK, Jsn. 9.

In addition to the above, there are seven separate views showing the won ' ders of the Portland Rose Show, held during 1902. These views are particularly beautiful and attractive.

There will also be scenes taken from the Umatilla Indian servetion, as well as from the Nes Perce tribe, among the latter being the bust of famous Qhlef, joscpn, leader in, the war ot lwLf The plan to be followed is calculated to make the advertising of the Pacific Northwest as a country worth going fur to see and profitable to live in, a pleas ure to those who witness it. Those who have been Instrumental In placing these views In the hands of. the men who will utilize them, say in its real sense the project Is not an advertis ing scheme, but is being done with the double object of placing much desired information within the hands, of those to whom it will be of- great benefit Peo ple of the East and the Middle West, they say, are hungering- for figures and facts concerning the Northwest trinity of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

Many thousands of dollars have been spent In preparing . this i collection of views, but It is believed that the returns in trade to Portland alone : will more than make up the difference within a year. The company' ha had special agents out In all sections collecting ev erything that it was thought would prove of value and the hundreds) of pictures thus brought together were aorted .over by Mr. Craig and only those retained which were truly typical of the coun try. - .. , There is to be no disposition on 'the part of the agents who will handle these lantern 'slides to "sugwp-coat" the' coun try, and everything will be . placed in the exact light of truth. It is not an advertising scheme, it is an exemplifica tion through artificial - means of , those things-which "actually exist.
