19 BUTTER UP AGAIN Advance in the City Price to 371-2 Cents. LOCAL SUPPLY IS SHORT Tendency All Over tlio Country Is Toward a Higher Iercl Good ' Out-of-Town Demand for Tresh Produce. The continued scarcity of butter in the 1,-cal market and the excellent demand are responsible for another advance In price. Manager Mortensen, of the Haxelwood Cream Company, announced last evening that beginning thla morning hie quotation would be 37H cents a pound. The other city creameries are feeling very firm and will doubtless go to the same figure, and It Is also probable that the better grades or outside creamery handled on Front street will advance tft cents to the new city price. There la an upward tendency In the but ter market all over the country, as Invari ably occurs at this time of year, when the supply of cream becomes scarce. Once be fore this year, from August 21 to Septem ber 8, butter lias been quoted at 374 cents. A year ago today butter was quoted at 85 cents, two years ago at 30 cents and three years ago at 30 cents. OREGON WOOLS QUIET AT BOSTON. Little Stock on Hand to Do Business With at Present. The latest mall advices from Boston re port there Is nothing doing In Oregon wools and little to do with in the line of fine staple, which can be quoted at B3 cents. Fine clothing In moderate offering at 19 to 10 cents. Valley wools are pretty well cleaned up. In territory grades there was more ac tivity. About 00.000 pounds of fine and fine medium New Mexican and Utah changed hands at 20 cents. The scoured cost Is estimated at 81 to 82 cents. The better class of clothing wools are selling at around 21 cents for fine and 22 cents for fine medium, and the scoured basis of some sales of the week is OT cents for tine and 04 to 03 cents for fine medium. Staple wools are firm and scarce. About 511.000 pounds half-blood Montana sold at 20 cents, to cost 03 to 68 cents, clean, and 00.000 pounds fine Idaho at 25 cents, to cost 72 cents scoured. .These prices show Blight change from thdse at which sales of the same grades were made early in the season, thoush the half-blood la a little low er. " ' " Eastern Prune' Market Bad. Mall advices from New York report a very dull drlei fruit market, owing to financial conditions. Prunes were reported especially weak with many "rejections of Oreeons owing to moldy condition on arrival and off-count. A considerable quantity ot prunes remain un sold in this Mate and at present ' the pros pect of disposing of them at good prices is not bright. This has been, a Season when the early sellers can congratulate Jhemeelves. Good Shipping lemand for Fruit. The-fruit tra.le was fairly good yesterday. The city demand was naturally restricted because- of the irtormy weatheri ' but country order were plentiful. No carlot arrivals of fruit were reported during the day. The Japanese oranges received Wednesday moved well at 70 to 75 cents per box. A car of Los Angeles celery arrived and was quoted lower at $3.5003.75 per crate. .Low Price, for Washington Hops. TAGOMA, Wash., Dec. 12. (Special.) The hop market reached a new level this morning, when Isaao Plncue & Sons purchased from Carl Schwara 57 bales of medium to prime hops at 34 cents a pound. This la. paid to be the lowest price paid for a lot of hops In the same year that the hops were grown. Al though hops were considered to be down In price last year, 10 to 12 cents were being paid In December, 1008, for medium to prime. Poultry Market Weaker. The poultry market was fairly well supplied yesterday, but the demand was slow and prices, consequently, were weak. Hens were especially dull, the Inquiry being rather for springs. There was some call for turkeys, live and dressed, and offerings of these were light. Eggs continue to weaken, because of freer arrivals, -but as yet prlceB have not been re duced below 374 cents for fresh ranch. Advance In Sugar Expected. A private wire from New York yesterday said an advance In refined sugar la expected Friday. If such- an advance occurs the lo cal trade believes there will be a sympathetic rise on this Coast.

STOCKS TAKEAJUlVIP White House Announcement Pleases Wall Street. BUT GAINS ARE NOT. HELD After the Opening Spurt, Trade Be comes Listless and the Close Is at or Below the Previ ous Day's Prices. NEW YORK, Dec. 12. Todays political received favorable" Interpretation In Wall street and was signalized by many opening advances from one to two points, with Harrlman stocks displaying the most activity and strength. The action of the market alarmed the e'hort Interest and they bought extensively, giving an appearance of great strength and animation to the trading. The Initial prices, however, proved to be the highest, as favorable factors in truded themselves, and the market lost what It had gained. The failure of the bulls to take ad vantage encouraged the bears to work -diligently to break prices, and by concentrat ing their selling against certain stocks managed to bring about a general decline. The principal stocks New York-Central, Pennsylvania and Missouri Pacific were targets for selling at Intervals. These circumstances caused a relaxation In call money, the high rate today being only aboiit half of that prevailing yester day. While a more abundant supply of funds on call reMeved the concern felt over the money conditions to some extent, it is recognized that the needs of early large corporate requirements and the necessity of the gradual repair of impaired bank re serves are influential factors to be con sidered In the future stock market opera tions. Reports from the interior of Improved monetary condttttms are eupported bv th lighter shipments from here, but the "po sition ot local banks has not been essen tially favored by this , development; owing to the heavy drain on Bubtreasury opera tions. The banks have lost nearly $30,000. 000 on this account during the week. Time funds continue available In large amounts, and rates, though high, are considered purely nominal. Despite these unfavorable circumstances, the market, as a whole, rendered fairly good account of Itself and gave evidence of support at opportune times. A large pro portion of the day's business was trans acted at the high range of prloes, the mar ket thereafter sagging In a dull and list less fashion until the list eventually fell back to a parity with yesterday's closing prices, or below.

In consequence, the; volume of trade was light. The market opened weak because of lower prices, at Liverpool, due chiefly, it Is said, to favorable crop reports from Argentina. Several rallies oceurred during the day oh - buying by leading . commission houses, but each advance brought out mod erate profit-taking which resulted in a fresh decline.

EDUCATION IN OREGON AVhy. We Have So Many "VtiiYersl ties'' and "Colleges." PORTLAND, Dec. 6. (To the Editor) It Is a noteworthy fact that there are In Oregon today with Its sparse population over and above the public and high schools, hot less than 22 'universities. (?) colleger, (?)' normals, academies and seminaries. For this deplorable nonsense, denomina tional rivalry and legislative; job-swapping are responsible. " Whereby sane manage ment one really efficient school might be In operation. A lot of church denomina tions Je;rtous of each . other and of the State University are scraping as with a fine-tooth comb, their congregations many of them hardly able to pay their pastor, to keep alive as many weakling schools, each one a drag on all the others. Is It possible for any amount of specious pious pleading to Justify such nonsense? The practical result of this Is the sending awav of large numbers of our best students, particularly from the city of Portland, to Berkeley, Stanford and the Well equipped Institutions In the East. And who can blame them for Bolng? It would be a sensible thing for the legislature at its next session to compel each so-called "university." "college" . .or normal to act up to its pretensions or for feit forthwith Its charter. The educational frauds which some of these "Institutions" perpetrate should - no longer be tolerated. On account .of the foolish division of forces these schools are and must be for generations to come in adequately endowed; and therefore com pelled to work shorthanded. One professor has not Infrequently several branches t. teach. In other cases to keep up appear ances in the catalogue, branches' are in serted with some long and grandiloquent name ot some townsman or townswoman as "professor" In the faculty make-up. In the' main the public Is not much fooled by this kind of padding. In some of these DOWNING-HOPKINS CO. ESTABLISHED UM BROKERS STOCKS, BONDS, GRAIN . Wol Ml Wli bf lk isi M BUlta. Private Wlna ROOM 4.; CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Phone Mala nchnols one teacher is expected to teach a half-dozen or less dissimilar branches, each being a life work by Itself. No man living is able to teach properly more than one science. ' If he has more he is compelled to be a smatterer. - Indeed some of the aciences chemistry for instance, needs to be subdivided, under several distinct teach ers. No truly scientific education can be 1m-1 parted except by specialists, for the reason that no science Is ever a completed study, but constantly growing:. If a teacher does not keep up with the procession in his particular science, he Is a belated number; and the teacher who is distracted or over worked cannot. It is plain that this scattering ot forces in so many schools Is lowering the educa tional character of our State. Dlsc.rimlnat fhg parents feel compelled to send their sons and daughters away, and with them much money; Jn still another way Is the character of not a few of these "universities" (?) re flected. A Catholic Institution will employ bnly a Catholic Instructor! th Methodists. Baptists and Kpiscopalians, as a rule, fol lowing suit. This principle cannot fall to work mischief. A teacher in a college should be elected because erf his ability to teach, his knowledge and his mural worth; and not because he says he belieVes ome theological dogma. Nor ,1s this all. Under the later methods of college work these threadbare denominational schools with a baker's dozen of students, mostly "misfits." cannot meet the demand.. No longer Is the text-book and lecture adequate meatiS of instruction. Nowadays the student must not only hear about things,- he must tent them. The latest appliances and apparatus must be at bund, as well as" text books; and thc?e are expensive. Plant- life can now be studied only, or best, In the field with microscope. Zoology, important parts of it, with the acalpel, chemistry and physics by experiments with materials that cost money, electrical engineering with expensive rigging for demonstration, without all of whlfh any school professing to give a university course defrauds its patrons. In how many of our Oregon universities ar the above methods ' employed ? A scantily provided school cannot and does not have laboratories and requisite apparatus - with competent specialists to manage them. Ac'cVirdlhgly In not a few Instances the sciences lb particu lar, are shabbily taught. Tile needs of the classics are less rigorous for which teachers are more easily obtained. This educational question will never he settled In Oregon till settled right. Is It not time, and high time, that we should have fewer universities (?i-and better tnes? C. B. CUlNB.
