Oregon: Th past three months, making up the flr-t calendar quarter of the year lull?, have been unusually eventful. The Presidential Inauguration, the Balkan War, the Mexican Ueicllioi a. the ptos pective tan ff changes and inco i e (ax, the tornadoes and Hoods with their con sequent terntld destruction of life and property and the death of Mr. J. P. Morgan, all hare combined in keep ing the people in an. expectant and somewhat doubtful mental condition. Business has been Rood, tho combined activity in all lines producing a total far above the average and which has been exceeded not more than twice in our business history. So far business has been in no way unsettled by any move of the new ad ministration. On the contrary, confi dence in the saneness of the present administration in the carrying out cf Democratio promises has increased since Inauguration Day. 'the tariff wnl undoubtedly take up most of the j time of the special session of Congress , and some notable decreases will be made. A large number of decreases in the several schpdules will be thrown in for good measure, which decreases will have practically no effect upon the respective commodities. One much talked of and promised reduction affects a commoditvwbicb is not manu facture! anywhere but in the United States and no shipment of which ever came to this Country. It is impossible to SHy what the effect wi.l be of plac ing raw wool, lumber. ore on the free list. Such a move must have its effect upon these iudus tries but as any material reduction in the price of these commodities must carry with 't a reduction in the wages "f the producing laborers, it is not likely that any great change in prices will result. There seems to be little hope of effective currency legislation in the rear future. The subject will receive some attention at the bands of Con- In 1012 There Woro But 171 Immljrratod Into The State I So light it the Immigration of Japan ee into Orogon, in comparison to that of California and Washington, that the question i not likely to become one of vital interest in this state for a long' ti ne, in t ic opinion of tho immtgra- tion otllcer in tli) Portlnni office. I in the fiscal year ending In 1912 the ! total immigration of JHp"anoso into ho stats wn only 171, whilo in the same j j year a total of 79 left the slate. In! I contrast to these figures. California I received an immigration of Japanese I in 15)12 reaching a totiil ot 2004. while only about 400 left the state in the same jesr. 'I he limited immigration of Japanese j into Oregon is accounted for by the I immigration officials on the ground ; that there is not the volume o' direct snipping irom Japanese ports into Portland which is found in San Fran cisco and Puget Sound. In addition to the bona Sde immigrants who come into tho United Stales on fpaasports, both Washington and California receive largo numbers of Japanese who are smuggled across the border Irom Canada and from Mexico, whioh materially increase the Japanese population in both of those states. From 1900 up to 1907 the average of annua! Japanese immigration Into the United States was high, and practic ally the whole of this mass of people was poured into Washington and Cal ifornia, especially the latter. From 12.028 in 15)00 and 14.455 in 15)02. the total immigration jumped to 20,041 in 1903, tuen dropped bacK to 14,000 ap proximately until 1907, when it rose to 30.J.24. This increase in the immigration of Japanese led to an agreement between the United Statea and Japan, whereuv coal, and iron I the Japanese government undertook to regulate the movement of its auh jects from home, and no Japanese lab orers were allowed to enter the United SUtes except upon passport duly accredited by the Japanese government. In the following year the immigration dropped to 1(1,4 18, and in 15)09 when the new agreement became more strongly effective, it fell to a total in the United Stales ot 3275. In 1910 the total was 2793. in 1911 it was 4575 and in 1912 it was C172. Of the 191-' im- gress and the discussions will serve to j migration.

This figure for tank exchanges is more notable when we consider tne excessive dullness in stuck exchange circles and that the above clearing! largely represent business transactions bb stock and bond sales on the New York Exchange have been only about one half cf what they should be. the New York bank deposits show a gain cf 54 million dollars for the quarter while loans increased only 48 millons: the sjrplus reserve fell, however, from nearly 14 millions to a fraction over 10 millions duriug the quarter: the aggregate cash reserve increased from 400 millions to 400 mil lions. Money in circulation on the first of April was 3340 million dollars compared with 3281 millions a year ago. The circulation per capita is 34.46 and a year ago was S34.45. Circulation per capita was higher in 1908, 190, 1910 and 1911. Dividend and interest disbursements for the month of April will amount to nearly 171 million dollars, 94 million dollars of this amount representing dividends and 77 millions bond interteut. The dividends will te paid on a total of 4481 million dollars of outstanding stocks. Considering that the heavy business inerests, such as steel and iron, railroad, etc., are working on small margins of profit, this is good dividend showing and is made possible only by the large volume of business. The Steel Corporation is earning a gross of less than $9 per ton of steel sold as compared with a previous earn ing of $11 per ton. Our gold exports for the first quarter of 1913 were larger than for the same period ot any previous year. This was brought about by a scarcity of gold in Europe and has forced high interest rates upon us. The average price of all is 6 per cent higher than it was a year ago. Food stuffs average much lower but higher prices t-n all metal and some other commodities serve to raise the com bined average. Our trade with foreign countries has started the year with a considerable in treaee over last year which it is be lieved will continue over 1913. A feature of the business which is entitled to careful study at this time is the business mortality. For some time past business lailurcs have been on the Increase in number but, for the in ire state Dy Japanese citizens. In the state constitution there is a provis ion forbidding Chine-e an I negroes from owning land in 'In goo. The pro vision relating to negroes waa annulled by the amendment of the United States Constitution relating to Chinese has remained. It practically has been ignored or evaded by means of long leases of land on the part of Chinese, or the purchase of controlling stock in corporations holding land in the fctate. There is a provision that a Chinese citizen having once left the United States cannot return again unless he has a family here or holds real estate or personal property here to the amount of at leaat $1000. On many occasions, when applying at the Portland immi gration office for readmission, Chinese citizens have presented warrantee deeds to land within the state, which were recognized by the office. one or me most eucouragiiu; as well na most vnliniMe services being rvn dored by the dcpnrtinent of nurirui tmv In ila entire renliu of activity is found In connection with the farmers' co-operntlve deinniistnitlon work whl li bus been curried on in ti number i southern Mutes under the direction of Professor Ktiiipp of the bureau of plum Industry .More tlmii 100,000 rid nil farmers of the south have been direi t ly enrolled in this demonstration work while 70.000 boys have been enrolled In the com growing clubs and 'JO.000 have been enrolled In the girls' cunning clubs With the adult farmers espe ciul emphasis bus been placed upon the Importance of crop rotation, uud the growing of more corn, pens, velvet beuns. cowpens, alfalfa mid other do vers baa been encouraged, (ireater in terest baa also been aroused In hog raising, dairying and other forum of animal Industry.
