THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, NOVE3IBER 20, 1907. 15 PRICE MAY BE LOWER Front-Street Opinion on the Turkey Question. BIG THANKSGIVING SUPPLY Jobbers Look for a Ruling Market Between 18 and 21 Cents Ef forts Being Made to Move Boughten Wheat. The Thanksc-vmff turkey price will he Somewhere between lf and 21 cents, ac cording to the heat opinion the trade can form at this time. The supply will, with out doubt, be ample. Last year turkeys sold on Front street at 20 to 22 cents, with some stiffening In the price at the close. The trade then sur passed all previous records and the jobbers found much difficulty In filling their orders. Thin season, unless all signs fall, as many birds as last year or more will be sent to the Portland market. There is a disposition shown now by producers of nearly all classes to market their produce at the first oppor tunity. It is also expected that a large portion of the southern Oregon birds, whtch usually goes to California, will be sent to the Portland anil Puget Sound markets In stead. While the supply promises to be large, there is Borne doubt whether tire demand will be as keen as It was last Thanksgiving, tt Is certain that if an attempt is made to keep prices at an extremely high level, the consumption will be curtailed. Buyers are showing caution In other lines and it is not likely they will be extravagant when It comes to buying turkeys. TRY TO GET WHEAT TO TIDEWATER Exporters and Railroad Make Every Effort to Expedite Movement. The resumption of active business in the wheat market riepmA in a large measure n the promptness with which the railroads ran move the wheat already bought to tide water. Ships and steamers under engage ment are arriving and the exporters are making special efforts to get the grain here. The railroads have promised to expedite the movement to the best of their ability and are now sending empty enrs to the Interior for the purpose. In the meantime but lit t le Is being done in the way of new business and prices are more or less nominal. The shippers at the moment arc under no pressure to take on supplies In addition to those already pur chased and growers are not pressing their wheat for sale. The other cereal markets are quiet, but a firm feeling prevails among holdors of oats and barley. HOI'S WEAK AM, OVER THE WORLD Buying Continue In the Northwest at the Ixw Prices current. Weakness prevails In all the hoD mar kets of the world. The deDresslon of the American markets has been aggravated by the financial situation, which has not only made trading difficult, but Is also certain to affect the brewery output. In Eurooe the gold scare seems to have had much to do with checking the demand. Prices being paid In the Pacific Coast markets now range from 4 to 7 cents, the latter figure being the very top for export quality. The fall since the downward movement started has been about 3 cents per pound on all grades. Buying continues on a fairly liberal scale In spite of the tightness of the money mar ket. In the past two days, Klaber, Wolf ft Netter have been the heaviest operators, buying altogether about 700 bales. Word was received from Washington yesterday of activity In the Puyallup section, where 4 and 4H cents was paid. Butter Surplus Is Reduced. Progress Is being made In cleaning up the surplus of lower grade butter on Front street and to this .extent the market has been improved. The demand for the better grades continues even and prices are steady. A fairly active trade Is reported In the egg market, and prices, especially on ranch stock, are firm. There was a good inquiry for chickens yesterday and prices were a shade better than quoted last week. Geese were also In Jemand and there was some call for ducks, nut live turkeys were a drug on the mar set. Lighter Demand for Fruit. The demand for fruit and vegetables was .tot as active yesterday as on the first day of the week, which Is explained by the previous Seavy busing. The day's receipts of fruit vere confined prlncipaly to apples, which ame in from all quarters. Very few grapes re now arriving and the season Is about closed A car of sweet potatoes arrived In Ihe forenoon. A car of oranges and several rars of bananas are due today. These will be the last bananas to come over tha Northern route this season. Sugar Down 20 Cents. All grades of sugar declined 20 cents per hundred yesterday. The drop was In re sponse to a similar change In the list prices of the California refineries. The Eastern sugar market has been weak for some time past and this has affected conditions all over the country. tank Clearings.

' PRESSURE TO SELL Market Weakened by Liquida tion of Important Stocks. IDENTITY OF THE SELLERS I 000,1 Ef,eCt f the Gornment-s Plan or Relief Passes Away Con fusion of Opinions Among Fi nanciers Bond Sales Heavy. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. There was a re newal of liquidation In the stock market to day of a character which carried a formidable Influence on speculative sentiment. The ef fect for good of the National Government's plan of relief for the currency situation seemed to have passed away completely, this result being an extension of yesterday's ten dency when the progress of the day's deal ings witnessed a steady waning of the effect of that factor. Priesg today got back gen erally to below the cloetng level of last week, and in not a few Instances to the lowest prices of the year. The pressure to liquidate wa urgent in some points of the list, and was conducted In a way and on terms to leave little doubt of the necessities of the holders. The first feature developed in the portcn tlous form of the selling of Chicago, Rock Island .v Pacific collateral 4s. This Is the operating company, all of whose stock Is owned by the Rock Island Company, and the 4 per cent bonds were issued by it and ex changed dollar for dollar for the old Chicago, Rock Island & Pacillc Railway stock, which forms the collateral security. The collateral 6s of the same company were Issued In part payment for the St. Louis ft San Francisco L.nn,mnn truL The weakness In this group of securities gave direction to the many con jectures as to the source of the liquidation. The later heavy liquidation Ih the United Slates Steel securities. Including the sinking fund bonds, was used as confirmation of some of these conjectures owing to the large com mon Interest known to be held In the two groups of properties While the Identity of the sellers was thus but vaguely outlined, the volume and the urgency of the selling gave It sufficient Im portance without the additional Inferences drawn from Its personal bearings. The selling of St. Paul, Union Pacific and New York Central was supposed to be connected In some way, although indications pointed to a dif ferent source for this selling from that con jectured In the other group. The weakness of these stocks was tha conspicuous feature of the day's market, and it was Its sympa thetic effect more than anything else that gavo the tone to the rest of the market. The confusion of mind revealed by the dis cussion of the plan to issue United States Treasury one-year certificates to the amount of $1CO,000,000. not only by the rank and file of operators In stocks, but by public com mentators of authority and bankers of skilled knowledge, detracted from the good of the project. The willingness of the New York banks to subscribe for the certificates In large amounts seemed to hlngo on the question of leave to count them In their legal reserves. There was an Intimation from Washington of the purpose of the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer the proceeds of New York sub scriptions to points of active demand In the Interior. The right to Issue bank notes against the certificates, which could not be counted as bank reserves under the law, might not compensate the banks for such a sur render of reserve holdings. .JdWOr' Weak' Total " Par value. $4,844,000.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19. Bland insinua tions that Professor Starr, of the Uni versity of Chicago, was misinformed or lacking in observation when he re ported that there were no atrocities In the Congo Free State, were made Sunday night by Rev. Joseph Clark, 30 years a missionary In those regions in a talk on "The Truth About the Congo," at Hull House. "Professor Starr said that he had never been In some of the regions In which he proclaimed that there were no atrocities, and pointedly told me that he did not wait to be shown any evidence when he was at my mission because he did not want to got Into the controversy." said the missionary. Kev. Mr. Clark showed stereoptlcon pictures of the arm stumps of little na tive children whose hands had been chopped off by the black soldiers ot King Leopold. To save bullets the sol diers some times cut the hand from the living victim and then told them to go die. "Some of them did not die," said the speaker. "There are ten of them living in my district, which Is no larger than Chicago." The missionary told of many In stances of the Inhuman atrocities. At the last he threw a slide of King Leo pold on the screen and lt was hissed by the audience who had listened to him. Together with Rev. Herbert S. John son, of Boston. Rev. Mr. Clark Is mak ing a pilgrimage of education through out the United States to arouse a pop ular sentiment against the administra tion of affairs In the Congo in the hope that the pressure may be brought to bear on the Government of the United States to urge a reform in the ex ploitation of the nutlves. "Let each of you write a letter to Mr. Root, Secretary of State, asking him to intercede for these poor na tives," he urged. Peoria Has $300,000 Fire. PEORIA, III.. Nov. 19.

BLACK HAND IS UiMDAUNTED Commits Murder Very Day White Hand Is Organized. CHICAGO, Nov. 19. The Black Hand yesterday gave Its answer to the declar ation of war from the Mano Blanca. or White Hand formed to exterminate the) Italian blackmailers, who have been ter rorizing their countrymen in Chicago. While a committee of influential Ital ians was preparing to raise u fund of (50.000 with which to fight and stamp out the blackmailers. Mariano Scardlna. a young Italian who left Buffalo a few days ago on account of trouble with a ecret society there, was stabbed to death In his father's saloon. Shortly before the death of Scardlna, Max Friend, a wealthy wholesale liquor dealer, received a third warning from the Black Hand that unless he paid (230 with in 24 hours he would be killed and his home dynamited. Last night he remained at his home with a revolver, ready for tha assassins. The murder of Scardlna was taken to be the result of a saloon brawl by the police until the reticence of witnesses showed that something was behind the stabbing. Scardlna was seated alone by a stove in the saloon when he was stabbed to the heart. As he fell to the floor a free-for-all fight started and when the police arrived only three or four men were In the saloon.
