Portland Wholesale Market,

PORTLAND. Dec. ] 5. 1894,
The markets are fairly steady, with trade for
thefirst thalf of December in groceries more sat-
isfactory, though the volume of business is still
comparatively light. Wheat is little unsteady,
while Flour continues firm with no giving way
on the part of millers Corn and Oats are NOV
ing fairly well at former quotations. Pork very
steady with firmer feeling, but pork packing
in the West is heavy the total pack for the past
week being 535, 900 hogs preceding week 47o,-
900, and same week year ago 365 900. total
kill since November has been 2,S30,OO0 same
time year ago $4,000. Potatoes unchang-
ed put trif1e firmer. Cranberries very scarce
with little or no difference in the prizes of good
high colored Maine berry and Cape stock, rang
ing from S1O@$11. Sweet Potatoes 25c higher.

NETWORK. Dec. Is.
Today's market was apurely
trading affair. with ontinued pres
sure on the two leading indust:ials ana
slightly lower level or the railway lst on
the closing out of full contracts over sun
day. The future prospects do l1ot promise
any material change in the gen eral situa-
tion at an early date. December is asuaily
a month of liquidation and business Is helu
in check by the taking account OF stooH
and the closing up of accounts at the enc
of the year. Trade reports Indicate dhat
the seasons influence in this respect is re-
ing felt in many directions but nevertheless
bank clearances show oderate gain over
last year and aggregate railway earnings
for the fl rst week in December are slightly
N excess of 1898. There is little doubt that
general business is slowly on the mend
and there is disposition TO look forward
with some hope into the coming year. But
railway returns are not likely to be of an
inspiring character for some time. although
If the United States should pass the Patter'
son pooling bill the transportation situation
might improve more rapidly. 1t is not ex-
pect-d by we'll informed observers, however.
that there will be any import ant currency
legislation at this session of Congress ana
the foreign exchanges show ST rong feat
ures which promises continuance of gold
exports and hence persistent drain on the
Treasury reserve. All there is to offset
is the expectation that the Government
receipts will increase as business revives
and in time may exceed the outgo. The
speculative situation suffers from the alb
sence OF public support and also feels the
need of the short interest which has been
SO largely reduced. The market is likely,
in our opinion. to remain irregular and IN
settled and we should advise any purchases
be confined to the breaks.

THEY MUST MOVE ON.
What the Police Are Doing to Keep
Loafcrs Under Control.

. LOaIcfS lnucr SOutrOi.
The efforts of the police to prevent the
bowling swells. from monopolizing the
street corners, OCCUPYING the doorways
and interfering with the usefulness of the
show windows is meeting with the de-
sired success. AS long as the department
permitted these well-dressed loafers to
stand aronnd at their own pleasure, COM
plants were continually being made at
headquarters.
Storekeepers objected. They found that
the loafer who stood in front of their
windows shut of the view of those who
passed the stores and they were indignant.
Property owners objected. They claimed
that the gang OF idle men that stood in
the doorways interfered with the tenants,
women who we're made the victims of the
idlers' bold stares and offensive remarks.
At last the police decided to put a stop
TO the nuisance. They first notified the
men that in the future they would be
compelled to move on. Owners of build
ings and the private highways were seen
and as they readily consented to place the
protection OF their property from loafers
in the hands OF the police, the officers have
found little difficulty in overcoming the
trouble.
Two men in particular have made them
