largely from the influence of weakness
in the London market. The disclosure
through yesterdays London settlement
of long account in Americans is inter-
preted as weakening the technical posi-
ton of this market and the growing
tightness of money in London gives rise
to the apprehension that New York MAY
have to absorb considerable speculative
liquidation from that centre. In fact the
selling for London account today was es-
timated as high as $4,000 shares on
balances. Our own money market con-
tinues unruffled, call loan rates falling
away a shade in spite of the continued
absorption Of funds on Sub Treasury
operations and the postponement OF the
return flow of the funds from the interior.
The recent daily average transfer of
100000 to 5000. 900 to New Orleans was
supplemented by the transfer of 100000
TO Chicago through the Sub-Treasury to-
day. If the activity of interior business
is to make new demands on New York
for currency it may upset calculations
over the future of the money market.
This may have prompted some of the
Discrimination to deal in stocks. The
early heaviness of the market gave way
quite generally to a recovery in the late
dealings after London had ceased selling.
Probably covering by room shorts YVES a
factor in this movement. The gains
were not all retained to the close. which

number Of October statements of net
earnings of railroad companies were pub

vorable with the exception of the Read

company for October were 81, 096 less
than for October of last year, as a result
Of the miners strike. This did not pre-
vent the stock rising over yesterday, but
it became heavy later in the day. Anal
gamated Copper continued to show weak
ness supposed to be on account of appre-
hension of unfavorabe legislation in
Montana. The new Chicago and Alton

To Mrs. Joe Person:
My little boy was sorely troubled with
impurities of the blood, and the result
was boils and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down,
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it. After consulting prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which did. After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy
was afflicted with these sores and boilsi
his bowels were in a very bad condition,
and this medicine effected a complete
cure of them.

Remedy, and would not be without it in

New York, Nov. 2S.-Excitement and
apathy alternated in today's cotton marx
ct with variations corresponding extreme.
The customary e-holiday evening up
occurred and this served to bring about
frequent waves of buying and selling; but
IS a rule business was SMALL and of a
professional nature with the trade at
sea, owing to semi-sensational fuctua-
tions abroad and to more or less condict-
ing rumors that strong parties were maxi
ing a bold attempt at manipulation The
market opened weak and two to eighteen
points lower under tremendous liIu;da-
tion and heavy outside selling, mostly for
foreign account. The general taste 10
unload followed a fall of six to seven
points in the English marker, said bl
private parties to have resulted from a
drive by interests known to represent in
f1uential American parties. Soon after
wards the story gained circulation and
was quite generally accepted as true,
that leading Philadelphia export house
and several well known New Orleans
PARTIES had formulated plan to ranpu-
late the English, New York AMI New Or
leans markets. Following the opening
there was squirt of covering Which car
ried prices up fifteen points from the low
mark. Soon after noon the market suf-
fered severe relapse under room aud
light outside selling AMI tor tho restssof
the session was irregular. The close was

Weather and Crops.

The crop reports for the past month
received by the commissioner of agri-
culture are very discouraging. Farm
ers report that corn and cotton is al
most completely buried in weeds. The
majority of the wheat in the State has
been cut, and is now on the ground in
shocks, while farmers have been unable
to thresh the crop. Wheat-growers
show great apprehension as to the ulti-
mate result of the delay in threshing,
because in many localities the wheat
has already commenced to sprout, and
the chances are that the damage will
be very heavy from this fact.

THE SIBERIAN TRADE
Russia Contemp1ates a Duty
on American Products.
NAY GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY /
Pacific Coast Exporters Would B0 AZ
fscted-A Matter of Deep
Concern.

Portland, Or, Nov. Coast ex7
porters who have been working up a
fine trade with Siberia are somewhat
concerned over the report that the
much talked of duty ON American goods
entering Russian territory will be emf
forced after January /. This mattert
has been under discussion for SEVERAL
years, and periodical threats of it's en-:
:forcement have been heard from time
to time, but thus far no decided action
has been taken. The probabilities of
something being done are greater now
than they were on account of the new
ports IN the Pacific provinces being
much better supplied with American
goods than ever before. American
lumber has been used in ties, bridges,
and for other building purposes in con-
nection with the great Siberian rail-
road. Pacific coast wheat, -four, oats
and other provisions have also found
big market among the thousands of the
czar's subjects who have swarmed into
the ports of Vladivostock and Port
Arthur and the surrounding country,
which is being tapped by the great
trans Siberian railroad.
The levying of this duty Is matter
Of deep concern to this coast, as it is
from these ports that most Of the large
shipments of lumber and -four have
been forwarded, and already start
had been made in other lines. Ex-
porters who are in touch with the situ-
alton are not disposed to discuss the
matter very freely yet, and hope that
the issue will be again postponed. as it
has in the past; but the tact that
mum Der of hurry orders for -four have
been received by parties who are sup
posed to be in very close touch with
the ruling powers at Vladivostock and
Port Arthur, would indicate that
there is more than usual cause for
alarm at the present time. Russia
has recently established steamship
line between Odessa and Vladiyostock
and Port Arthur. and If the duty is en-
forced it will probably be with a view
to shutting American lumber and flour
out of the Siberian ports in order that
the same commodities from the Black
sea will be given the preferences.

An Accident in the Railroad Yards at
The DaIles.
The Dalles, Or, Nov. IA collision
between freight train No. 81 and a
switch engine on the tracks of the O..
R. & N. in this city at 3:15 this morn
ing resulted in the death of John Nc
Vey and AL Nash, both switchmen in
the company's employ. The freight
train arriving from the East ran, as is
its custom, onto the sidetrack at the
foot of Jefferson street just as switch

preached from the west. The engineer

and Judging it to be standing on the
siding, ran ahead, striking the freight
engine, which was still on the switch.
McVey and Nash were riding on the
front of the switch engine when the
collision occurred. and were both
thrown directly under the switch en-
gine.
Besides having one leg caught under
the trucks, Nash was crushed about
the body and died at o'clock. Nc
Vey was terribly injured across the
stomach, but lived four hours after be-
ing taken from under the engine. He
was an unmarried man, 25 years of
age, whose people are said to live in
Oakland, Cal. Nash was 40 wears old ,
a native of Salem, Or, and had wife
and child in Portland. Both were
highly thought of here and general fa-
vorites among their fellow-workmen.
Both engines were considerably dam.
aged, although not wrecked.
