NKW YOHIC, Juno III.- Strong
hullir.li influences were brought to
bear on the stock market tlti week,
lint trnding continued to he dull, with
nntiruinlly narrow fluctuation'. The
undertone was finn most of tho time,
hut the doinnnd was poor, and in
jspite of the scarcity of stocks no re
sponse such as wight ordinarily he
csccted was made to favoring de
velopmcnK Of those, perhaps the
most imporlatit were the govern
ment's report on crop conditions nt
the end of May nnd the Shroveport
rate decision. Passage by the sen
ate of the canal tolls repeal bill was
accounted an influence in favor of
railroad shares. Progress of the
Mexican mediation conference in
spite of fears of n rupture once or
twice during tho week encouraged
operations on the long side. One of
tho foremost factors in sustaining
tho market was tho expectation of
a decision before many days in the
freight rate ense.
Tho United States Steel tonnage
figures indicated that new business
during May had been at the rate aof
less than half the corporation's cap
ncity. Incoming orders since June
1, however, were reported to be on n
larger scale. Demand for copper
inctnl increased, following a general
cut to 14 cents.
The export movement of gold
reached extraordinary proportions
Nearly $20,000,000 was engaged dur
ing the week, establishing n record
for New lork. Tho movement ex
ertcd little influence here, except for
a slight stiff eniogn
a slight stiffening of time money
rates.
CLOSES STEADY
NEW YOItK, Juno 13. Tho stock
market closed steady. Nono of the
leading stocks traversed moro than a
small fractional ranKo during tho
half day session. Week end cover
ing of shortB caused tho market to
harden after tho small early reces
sion. Losses wcro in a do up and
final chaiiKcs wcro Insignificant.
Speculative sentiment was not strong
ly defined, although tho drift toward
tho long sldo wuh still perceptible,
ltoports from tho mercantile agencies
spoko of a better demand In various
lines, with n continuanco of favorablo
weather conditions. After holding
for soveral days at abnormally high
rates, sterling exchango weakened
on tho announcement that $4,000,000
moro gold had been engaged for ex
port. Bonds wcro steady.
Opening transactions In stocks to
day wero at a slightly lower range
of prices. Virtually all tho actlvo
issues cusod off, but recessions in no
cuso exceeded half a point. Thore
was no chango in market conditions
to uccouut for tho drooping tendency,
which appeared to bo duo entirely to
a similar setback of American stocks
abroad. After prices hero had been
adjusted to about tho lovel cabled
from London tho decline stopped.

tces have been meethur at Portland this week and
going through the farce of "organizing,'' listening to hot
air from candidates, "reuniting" and preparing to save
Orogou by securing the offices.
The old order changeth and no meeting of the faithful
can bring back the fat pickings of tho yesterdays. Hold

less apathy and a good deal of understanding the public
views the hysterics of tho office-seekers and refuses to
become excited.
The steady growth of popular government, the dis
carding of the machinery wherebv the few controlled the
inanv, the publication of campaign contributions, the
passing away of old political differences, the maturity of
a new generation freed from the prejudices that fettered
for half a century, have killed the partisanship of our
fathers, and until vital issues arise to create new political
divisions, state politics will be merely a struggle for the
spoils.

Now there is only the money of the candidates to

"reunion" if ho clandestinely "jars loose." There may
conic a touch of the old prosperity to the "boys" grown
lank and hungry during recent years. J teres hoping a
irood "touch."
Mr. Average Citizen now looks at the office-seekers
from a coldly impersonal standpoint. The personality and
professions, not the ancient partisanship, governs the cast
ing of the ballot. The one-time sacred party legend means
little or nothing. The citizen votes as he thinks will best
benefit the public and his own interests. In such a cam
paign there is little to enthuse and consequently not much
enthusiasm. The times arc indeed out of joint for the
politician.
Political partisanship in
knows it but the politicians,
newspapers, like the Oregonian, that never learn. The
ghost oi partisanship, a second j-cier urimm panieucuuy
asserts itself, but no one hears, no one sees, no one cares.

It may be possible to persuade the suburbanites later
to come into the city limits, but it will never be possible
to club them into it.
The time is not ripe for annexation. The population is
too scattered, the region too sparsely settled. "With the
stimulus of the trollev line and reasonable water rates,
the population should increase so that the people them
selves will seek admittance in a short period.
If the section was admitted now, it would be entitled

by changing from meter to flat rates would help make the
city a tinancial loser by the
The excuse of water shortage is absurd. If there was
a shortage, annexing the adjacent laud and providing
cheap rates would iurtlicr
there is a great surplus.
A constructive policy would lie to increase the city's
revenues and at the same time develop the country by
selling this water surplus to any and all applicants. Jf a
second reservoir was constructed and the overflow water
that now runs to waste diverted into it, and tho outside
users supplied from it, the revenues would yield a hand
some return on the investment and benefit the city far
more than the dog-in-the-manger policy now being pursued.

enough to replace all Its top on n
