THE MORNING OREGONIXn. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1907. 15 ft jr BUTTER IS UP ON City Creamery Price Will Be Advanced 21 -2c Today LOCAL SUPPLY RUNS LOW There May Be a Decline When the Fall Kains Come,, but .Values lu the Late Winter Will ' Be High Again. The market price for city creamery but tor win get as high as 37 i cents today. The Haze) wood Creamery will put that price into effect this morning. There ha been a feeling in the trade for several days past' that an advance was imminent, but most or the firms were opposed to going any higher now.. One of the smaller companies, th Damascus Creamery.- raised its price to cents several day ago, but the large city creameries took no notice of the price then In their transactions. Today's rise will, however, generally affect the price of but ter fat. The i-eason' that 1b given for the advance of 2fcents Is the shortage In the local but ter eupply, the decrease in the cream out put and the continued strong demand, both locally and on shipping account. Several or the creameries are known to have difficulty In filling; their orders with top grade butte and there is comparatively little secona grade or Eastern butter to take Its place ' The new price would, of course, tend to in vite shipments of Eastern butter, but wltn the present wire trouble such business can not be promptly attended to. However, It Is only a question of time before a consid erable supply of the 'Eastern article is on hand, provided, of course, that the Chicago market has not materially changed in th lan few days. A reasonable quantity of Eastern butter would be welcomed to make up the deficiency in the home product, but If much should come along it might have effect on the market. When the Fall grass appears, which willv be in a month or six weeks. It is likely that butter prices will decline temporarily, but everything points to high values again In the late Winter months, as reserve stocks in' the East, carried against Winter re quirements, are not as large as usual. BREWERS' HOP STOCKS NOT LARGE. W. J. Llvesley Says There Will Be a Good Demand In the Early Market. W. J. Llvesley, a hop man of Seattle, who was in the 'city yesterday, says that clean picked hops' of choice quality should bring 11 or 12 cents this Fall.- Mr. Llvesley has been on the road as a hop salesman for the past nine years and Is well qualified to talR on the much discussed question of brewers suppllesi He says that stocks carried by the brewers at the- present time are not large. "The main thing for the Oregon grower to do," said Mr. Llvesley, "Is to pick his hops clean and turn out as good an arti cle as possible. 1 believe, also, that the grower who sells early will sell the best." A cable was received ysterday from Iron monger, of London, as follows: "Weather Is unsettled, wet and cold and unfavorable for growing crop. Market is dull with only few buyers." The only transaction In the Oregon mar ket for some time past was reported yester day. John Carmichael bought the Larsen crop of 213 bales at Sitverton at 5 cents. The following reports of the condition of the New York crop are from the latest pa pers of that, state; - "Hop-growers-still report yards clean and healthy, free from blight of all kinds ana growing nlcoly. Picking will not begin be fore the early part of September. The hot weather of the'paet few days has been bene ficial and the estimates of the yield are not materially changed, about two-thirds of last year's crop being the popular opinion." Watervllle (N. Y.) Times. . "Hops are coming on well but a Ugh yield is certain. The quality promises to be good at this time." Brookfleld Courier. "The vines have made a good growth con sidering the late start. They are not heavy, hut if they fruit well will promise a good crop. With a good heavy fruitage they may yield three-quarters of last years crop." Cooperstown Republican. ''The hop bine in this section Is- not as thrifty as It was last jar. The recent wind etorms have injured the blows, which wer not as hardy as they have 'been In recent years. The yield will be considerably short of what it was last year. Schoharie Stand ard. Bernard Bing writes from Nuremberg, un der date of July 30: "I beg to Inform you that prospects for the coming crop in Bava ria and Bohemia are very favorable. The vine has reached the top of the poles and Is looking very vigorous and perfectly healthy. Favorable weather provided, we expect an excellent crop both in quantity and quality, with reasonable prices.- Stock of 1906 hops nearly exhausted; tendency is quiet and prices declining." SALMON PRICES MUST BE HIGH. : Output of Canneries Not Equal to Consump tive Requirements. In view of the short pack of Red Alaska Salmon which according to advices received from Behring seas amounts to but 273.000 cases, a great deal of speculation Is being indulged In by the trade as to the probable opening price and the date of its anncnince ' ment. In the East there is a rumor that the Alaska Packers' Association has named a price of $1.15 f- o.b., but this is denied by the J. K- Armsby Company, the soiling agents of the Association. F. A. Aplln. ot this company, Is credited in the trade press with the following statement regarding the salmon market: "It is Bafe to say that every case of sork eye salmon canned on the Puget Sound this year will cost double the .price that the packers will receive" for it. ' The packer or Alaska ealmon will not fare quite so badly, but he faces a serjous loss. If our figures as to the probable pack of British Columbia and America - are - correct and they cannot be changed very milch comparison with the past will be of interest. "The total pack of salmon for the yeat 1!03 was 3.606.411 cases; 1004. 3.323.054 cases; 1905. 4.630.685 cases; 11)06, 3.774.423 cases. "The stock of salmon in distributors' hands Is the lightest In years. These nat ures show that the pack for the four pre ceding years has . been nearly 15.500.000 cases, showing an average consumption or over 3.8O0.000 cases, against an estimated pack this year, of probably not to exceed two and a half million cases." GROWTH OF THE CH1TT1M TREE. Said to Replenish Its Bark at Certala Searfbns. In some parts of --Lane County the chit tlm bark craze of a few years ago has about stripped the country of the available eupply. but In the vicinity of Deadwood. In the northern part of the county, a good deal Is raid to be left, says the Salem Journal. The fact of the present scarcity of the bark Is not vital, however, for the reason that It does not take chittlm long to grow again. Along the banks of the sloughs or around the fences the brush will spring 41 p before the rancher realizes his good fortune, that Is If it has been plentiful In his section. It springs from the seed. Frequently if a tree. Is cut down, the nexf Spring will see a clump of chittlm spring up around .th stump. This kind Is not so valuable, how ever, as is the tall .kind that grows in shaded forests. At certain times, when the sap is running fast, all the bark may be stripped off the trunk of a chittlm tree and the tree will .not be killed, a second bark coming out at once. This is in June, as a rule. Dogwooa has the same quality. It used to be that men that made their living gathering chittlm bark filled up their bags with dogwood and alder as well. The local buyers could get rid of it as chittlm and did not care. Often It is said th smalj limbs of the chittlm trees were broken up into small blocks and sold, for the bark. LARGER RECEIPTS OF POCLTRY. Fresh Ranch Egg Are Scarce and Finn Cheese Sells Welt Receipts of -poultry have been heavy so far this week and should they continue large may weaken the market. Up to the pres ent trme prices have continued 'steady. There was nd change In the egg situation yesterday.. Receipts were light and th market firm. Most sales were at 25 cents. Tne cheese market has a strong tone wltn the demand Again active, as stocks are cleaning up about as fast as received. Cantaloupes From Hood River. Peaches were quoted steady yesterday with receipts of about the average siz. Pears were weaker; under rather heavy arri vals. . The demand for watermelons was brisk and there was plenty to fill all orders. Among- the cantaloupes received was a large shipment of very fine stock from Hooa River which wae quoted at $1.50 ft 2 pet crate. Bank Clearing,.

MARKET CLOSES STRONG Active Issues Advance One to Two Points Over Monday's Quo tations Undertone Is Healthy. NEW YORK. Aug. 20. A change in senti ment appeared In the stock market today and in place of the violent liquidation of the pre ceding days, a good' Investment demand ap peared, which had a healthy effect on prices. Buying continued good up to the close, which was strong. During a part of the day Union Pacific was subjected to much, pressure, but on the rallies it responded with the remainder of the list. The oDenln was- at a generally higher level. Union Pacific gaining lis points and the other active Blocks lesser amounts. A sharp and successful drive against Union Pacific, Read ing and the metal Industrials was then ln-1 augurated, which caused a sharp ran in oriees. a score of the leaders losing a point or more. This was .succeeded by a brlBk rallv. led bv Union Pacific, and many BtocKs advanced from 1 to 114 points. The demand subsided with, the. rise, but later In the day buying orders became more aDuncant, caus ing a material rise In prices. All the impor tant railroad , and metal stocks sold above yesterday's closing. The upward movement proceeded until the list generally was quoted from 1 to 2 points over last night's prices. The closing was strong and fairly active. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Atchison -85 TNo. Pac 117 do preferred. 89 Gt Nor liu B & O Si) ,Amal Cop .

(Special.) The price of logs on Gray's Harbor still re mains firm and! there Is little chance for a cut In the price during the Summer. No. 1 fir still commands the top-notch price of $12 per thousand, while spguce Is selling at $10 and cedar at $12. The latter has taken a jump from $0.50 .to the present mark during the past three months. The low price quoted on cedar some time ago was due to the fail ure to find a market for this wood, owing to the general shutdown of the shingle .mills. Spruce has dropped 50 cents per thousand since July 1, but should the manufacturers obtain cars so that this could be manufac tured and a market -cached, the price would soon reach a higher mark. Not all the camps are running in this lo cality at this time and the shutdown wil probably reach over the entire Winter, while those operating might possibly continue until the California market becomes glutted again. CALLS FOR AX HEROIC REMEDY. Drastic Liquidation the Only Means of - Righting Markets. Henry Clews, of New Tork, writes of financial conditions, under date of August 17, as follows: "We have had another week of general and drastic liquidation. Since the opening of the year there has been a shrinkage in values estimated at approximately $:,o00, 000,000. That such a tremendous shrinkage in a little over seven months could take plac'e on the New York Stock Exchange without bringing on paiic and universal dis aster is almost beyond belief, and had any prophet the foresight or the course to hav predicted such results last December, he would have been treated as a subject fit for the asylum. Nevertheless, the fact remains true that Wall street has endured a shrink age in values fsa exceeding that of any panic on record, and this without any seri ous failure thus far. The fact that these losses have been endured without disaster i remarkable testimony of strength in th financial situation:- Losses have fallen upon those best able to bear thewi, and the causes are now beginning to be clearly un derstood. General excesses, such as the over-ex tension of credit, over-Issue of se curities and over-conf idance, have been th main and the natural reasons for recent re action. - , - Of course with the market in a hyper-sen sltlve condition, investors and speculators alike are naturally more or less frightened at the "anti-corporation crusade. There have" been some rather indiscreet official utterances concerning the Government's pol icy in prosecuting corporations; and tne anti railroad feeling displayed in many of the States Is naturally disturbing at this time Nothing; however, that the Administration could iave raid or done at' this time could have "-tucked the recent downward move ment. Liquidation from natural causes was lne able It has been predicted In these advloes for months past as the only means of l irhtlng the money and security markets. Whether the cure Is complete oi not remain to be seen. It is doubtful if liquidation has yet run its full course, and If not, still lower prices must be anticipated although we may have a fair temporary re covery. The remedy for corporation law-breakers Is punishment by imprisonment of the gulfty lndlviduals connected therewith. - If the Government and state officials will an nounce this as their future policy, confc dence will at once return to the stock mai--ket and securities be In demand for In vestment. Corporations whose officials are found guilty should also be taxed for all legal fees and court expenses. Big money fines fall mostly upon Innocent stockholders who have had nothing, whatever to do with the wrong acts, hence big fines as a penalty depreciate values as they threaten confisca tion, while imprisonment in place thereof will advance them, as It puts them on a more reliable and honest basis. It can scarcely be imagined that the blow which has fallen upon Wall street will not ultimately affect general business. With the heavy losses which have fallen upon wealthy men and large corporations, there must fol low a sharp .contraction in new enterprises! and improvements at me. time thought nec essary will be indefinitely postponed. This InevitaMv m-ars a lessened demand foi-materiais- mil lobci. Prices are already yielding on some manufactured prodtict, owing to the falling off in demand; and It remains to be seen what will be the attitude of labor if a business reaction really sets lh. There are - no immediate indications, how- ever, of any general recession- Trade ia still active in. the interior, and the fact that the masaes are well employed at good wage encourages tn hope of a large consumptive demand for all the ordinary necessities of life. The demand for the luxuries will, or course, tie curtailed. The railroad situation Is somewhat per plexing. Our roads continue to show large gross earnings, and an abundance of traffic. The latter, however, is noticeably less press ing than a year asro and most of the roads are beginning to seriously feel the great increases in expenses due to the recent con eei-lons made to labor. During the flrsx six months of the year, the gross earnings of the New York Central increased over $4,000,O0l, or about per cent,, while ex penses increased $6 500.000, or over "0 per cent: the result being that net earning felt off $2,500,000 compared with the same hair year of l!Kti. As a result, it Is estimated that the company only earned about on& half of the 3 per cent dividend payable foi the first half year. On the Pennsylvania system gross earnings Increased $14,200,000 In the first six months of the year; but ow ing to the enormous increase in operating expenses, the neti earnings increased only $1,200,000. In view of the increased obliga tions which the railroads have been obliged to assume on account of new note and capi tal issues, it will be seen that the financial outlook from the railroad point of view Is not very satisfactory. The outlook for the market Is still unsat isfactory. Prices are very low and there are plenty of eood stocks which are really ver cheap from the investor's point of view. The monetary situation, however, has not yet fully righted itself, and further liquidation uvonks more than probable, with intervening rallies of more or less Importance. Such being the cane, it is inadvisable to go too heavily Into debt. - Should the money situa tion become acute. Secretary Cortelyou will no doubt aid the money market to the ex tent of about $50,000,000, but while call money continues as abundant and as easy as at present, there is no necessity for im mediate action.

' Extraordinary efforts will be made by the Harrlma-n officials in the Pacific Northwest to keep freight cars moving during the crop movement, so that aJI in terests of the three Northwestern states may be furnished an adequate number of ears to carry cm the business of the Fall and Winter months. General Manager O'Brien, at -a meeting of the heads of departments of the- Har rlman lines yesterday. In the Worcester building; urged all to do their utmost to keep freight cars moving and prevent delay . In loading and in unloading as well as in transit. Perhaps the chief reason for this move ment, aside from the desire to prevent the recurrence of former car shortages. Is to avoid penalties under the reciprocal demurrage law, which provides for fines in case cars are "not delivered within a short time after they are ordered by any industry. Mr. O'Brien said yesterday that ar rangements will be made to bring a large number of foreign cars this way from California during the wheat movement and it is expected that about 125 cars a dajf will be available to handle the wheat crop.

Paul Will Spend $50,000 a Year for Three Years. ST. PAUL, Aug. 16. (Special.) The permanent work of advertising the city of St. Paul, which involves the expenditure of $53,000 . a year for a period of three years, has been in augurated with the election of Curtis I Moaher, who has been actively con nected with the advertising and pub licity work of the Northern Pacific Railway, as manager and director of the campaign. Mr. Mosher is an old time newspaper man. and has been an active member of the Town Criers' Club of St. Paul, the advertising or ganization which for 18 months has been working with the bureau In per fecting what advertising experts have termed a model city advertising cam paign. St. Paul will advertise for investors to utilize opportunities the city pre sents; for men to build -the 5000 new dwellings for rental purposes which are now required, and many other specific needs of the city, all of which tend to its growth in industrial and commercial Importance and In popula tion. Specific things are to be adver tised. The plans adopted are based on the principle that the city should advertise nothing on which it cannot "make good" to the fullest extent, and that' city advertising is designed first of all to bring a man and an oppor tunity into touch each with the other. Mr. Mo'sher will establish offices in the Endlcott Building at once and the campaign will be actively prosecuted from the start- Ample furtds to cover the work of two years are in the treasury and all the important details of the work have been definitely de cided upon. Two months of prelim inary work have already been com pleted, in which advertising experts and business men donated their serv ices. This work was unusually suc cessful and has produced splendid re turns. The publicity bureau will divide its work into three distinct parts, one cov ering direct National advertising in carefully selected mediums, one cov ering , an infinite variety of special lines' of work, and one comprehending the establishment of conveniently lo cated visitors' rooms, where strangers in St. Paul may be made to feel at home and may be furnished informa tion and other courtesies. A carefully perfected office system has - been adopted through which follow-up work will be conducted. The bureau will work In close harmony with the St. Taul jobbers' Union and the Business League of St. Paul, tw powerful or ganizations which will render valu able assistance in follow-up work and In problems involving commercial and industrial development. The St. Paul publicity bureau has a membership of 42, representing 22 commercial organizations, each of which is participating in the city- ad vertising work. The advertising fund has been collected without popular subscription and without personal solicitation. It represents the volun tary contributions of business houses and individuals. XO BETTERMENT OP SERVICE A. D. Charlton Answers Communi cation of Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce is in re ceipt of a letter from A. D. Charlton, generai passenger agent of the North ern Pacific Railway Company, . in re sponse to its communication regarding the poor train service between Port land and Aberdeen. At .the present time it la necessary that passengers from Portland change trains twice be tween these two points. In his letter Mr. Charlton says: "This question has been up for some time past and a thorough investigation made In regard thereto. The service. as existing at the present time is ttte best that can be done in connection therewith, as 1t is impossible to oper ate any additional trains over the main line between Portland and Centralia, in addition to which there is not enough business to justify an exclusive train between" Portland and Aberdeen." This matter will be referred to the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce at heir next meeting. Shoots Himself Accidentally. NORTH YAKIMA, 1 ash., Aug. 20. (Special.) M. B.
