PORTLAND orr, June 9-The many
rumors of the movements of the Oregon
National Guard, which is ready at an
hours notice to go down the Columbia
River among the riOting fishermen, are
causing great excitement. General

ing out of the First Regiment rests with
him or Governor Lord. The burning of
the North Shore Packing Companys
plant on the Washington side of the
river near Astoria last night, p~esuma-
bly, by strikers, is fresh cause for de-
rnanding the presence of the militia
and it has leaked out from a Lieutenant
that the First Regiment will receive
marching orders to go down the river

THE MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH
Money, Stock, Bond and Pro-
duce Quotations
WALL STREET SPECULATION
Business Increasing and the Dealings
Well Distributed
Causes Of Apprehension Have Been Removed
and Prices Rally in consequence-Bonds
Strong and Active

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The stock market
today. business is on the increase and
the dealings were fairly we'll distributed.
The speculative sentiment, aside from the
purely local factors, was favorably infiu-
enced by renewed foreign buying of our
securities, which was reflected in sharp
advances in the international stocks. The
change of front abroad is due to variety
of considerations. 1t is being recognized
that apprehensions which:bore heavily upon
our speculative market a month or two ago
are now entirely dissipated. The prospect
of financial legislation during this session
of congress is remote, and in Europe, as
we'll as this country, decidedly larger es-
innate from previous calculations as to the
net gold result to the treasury from from
the government are made. 1t is how fig
ured out by experienced financiers that
proceeds of the sale of the bonds mas
bring the reserve up to about $l2O,OOO,-
600. AT the outset general fractional
improvements in prices occurred, fol-
lowed around midday by recessions
on realizing sales. The upward trend
of prices was soon resumed, but the gains
were not of special importance until the
last hour, when the purchasing movement
attained full force. The commission houss
report increased business in hitherto neg
lected shares and shorts contributed to
considerable extent toward the rally. Con-
tnued strength and activity in the govern
ment bond market was again a feature,
the new coupon fours rising to 1888 on
large transactions. The close was strong
at general fractional gains. The railway
bond market exhibited animation and
strength, the gains being widely disrib-
uted. The Northern Pacific issues were
again conspicuous for activity and i'm
provement. The aggregate sales were
$3,339,OOO. The strength Of the govern
ment bond market today was unabated,
with the new coupon fours the feature.
The aggregate sales were $695,O0O.
