TEN PER CENT BASIS
Higher Commission Charged in
Handling Eggs.
NO PROFIT AT OLD RATE
Majority of Local Dealers Agree to
the Change Board of Trade
Circular to Country Shippers.
Wheat Market Is Firmer.
Steps have been taken by the .Portland
commission merchants, especially those en
caged In handling eggs, to put this branch
of the business on a more, profitable basis.
At a recent meeting of the Portland Board
of Trade, the following resolution was
adopted :
WHEREAS, A thorough discussion of
the present handling of eggs has demon
strated that the business Is unprofitable on
the basis of the charge of five per cent
comm lesion; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the
Board of Trade be Instructed to circulate
a petition among the Front street mer
chants and the larger creameries handling
eggs, as well as the wholesale grocers of
Portland, looking towards an agreement
among these Interests to only handle eggs
on a ten per cent, commission basis.
IT TO BE FURTHER UNDERSTOOD,
That no packers are to be returned and
that the eggs are to be graded as firsts
and seconds, and returns made In that
manner.
The petition has accordingly been circu
lated among the trade and the signa
, tures of all but about four of the' Front
street merchants have been secured. It
is proposed that this change In the manner
of doing business will take effect on June 1.
Supplementing the effort to Improve trade
conditions in the wholesale district, Secre
tary Fred Muller, of the Board of Trade,
has forwarded the following circular to the
leading country shippers in the territory
tributary to Portland: ,
Permit me to submit to you a few con
vincing reasons why you should confine the
shipments of your eggs and other products
to the Portland commission merchants:
Because the commission merchant la In a
position to maintain market prices: the
Portland commission merchant Is a distrib
utor in all directions; the Portland com
mission merchant Is In a position to re
lieve an oversupply by proper distribution;
the Portland commission merchant Is a
member of the Board of Trade and gov
erned by Its rules.
You can't afford to overload the retailer
- and break the market on yourself; the re
taller only buys from you because he feels
he can get a reduction In the price; the
responsible commission man is as anxious
as you are to secure the best price there
is In the market.
Stability in the market can only be main
tained when you confine yourself to the
proper channels, wmrn, in this case, are
the commission merchants. There are prac
tically no retailers you can depend, upon to
take big lots of eggs every time you have
them, whereas the commission man will.
Of the foregoing reasons It Is only fair to
remember this when arrivals are scarce.
STRAWBERRIES ARE IN I1R.H DEMAND
Receipts Are Not Equnl to Loral Require
ments. California strawberry receipts yesterday
were ":." crates. The demand was good and
the market firm at 12. A few Oregon ber
ries came in from Riddle and brought 35c
per pound. Only 2,K) crates of California
berries are expected today. Cherries were
more plentiful and were lower at 11 1.80

and a ear of oranges arrived yesterday.
Another car of oranges and a car of lemons
were due last night. Three cars of bananas,
reported In good condition, were expected
last night.
Vegetables were generally In good supply.
Rhubarb was especially abundant and In
fact was hardly quoted. 1 Asparagus was
more plentiful and sold at $1.23 per box.
A car of California Bermuda onions is due
today. There will be no change in the
price.

Foreign Weakness Affects the

Realizing Sales Also Add to the De

Is Not Satisfactory Pros
pects for Pending Issues.
NEW YORK. May 4. A period of weak
ness during the morning In the stock mar
ket, while the London market was in opera
tion, was attributed to sympathy with that
market, and -the fact that a recovery set
in here after business had ceased for the day
in London was pointed to as confirmation
of this view. The recovery, however, did
not hold.
The disturbance in London was due to the
bad influence of news of tribal disturbances
among the Afghans on the Indian frontier.
Arbitrage brokers sold stocks here quite
freely for London account, thus offering di
rect pressure on the New York market. There
was, besides, a continued disposition on the
part of last week's buyers of stocks to re
alise the profits accrued on their purchases:
a disposition which was already manifest
Saturday in the sharp reaction at the end
of the day.
The usual weekly, remarks by railway traf
fic officials, while pointing out the hopeful
promise for -business, contained In the' good
crop prospects, gave free expression to the
sense of disappointment over the slowness
of business resumption and did not- hold out
much promise for an lncreaucd tennage move
ment right away. These reports bore on
conditions of the immediate oast.
The review of bank clearings and business
casualties for April Indicate the continued
low ebb of business activity. The bank clear
ings for April decreased 22.9 per cent from
those for April last year, and the average
daily clearings for the month showed a con
tinuance of the progressive decrease, which
was noted throughout January. February and
March. The 152 business failures for April
reported by Bradstreets exceed the number
for any previous April recorded, with lia
bilities In excess of any April since 1893.
The showing was corroborative of the figures
of the large Increase In idle freightcars re
ported by the American Railway Association
last week, and of the decline in unfilled or
ders on hand reported by the United States
Steel Corporation on March 31.
Announcement was made during the day
of the sales to New York bankers of $20,
000,000 of New York revenue bonds, and the
rate of Investment return at 3 per cent
showed a sufficient reduction from that on
which the last Issue of city revenue bonds
was placed, which was 8 per cent, to en
courage confidence in the prospects for pend
ing railroad Issues. The additional gold taken
from London by Paris did not prevent an
easing of the discount rate in London and
foreign exchange here was lower.
Efforts to sustain prices centered in South
ern Pacific and Amalgamated copper, while
Union Pacific and St. Paul were freely sold
to take profits. The whole market weak
ened late In the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value
$2,780,000. United States 2s declined Vi while
the 2s registered advanced M and the cou

XCTHICAGO. May 4. The wheat market
opened strong on 'an advance of Id at Liv
erpool and a decrease of 4.739.000 bushels In
the amount on passage. Later these influ
ences twere aided by a decrease of 6,347,000
bushels in the vlslbls supply in America
and the smartness of primary- receipts,
which were 623,000 bushels against 1,021,000
bushels on the corresponding day last year.
Heavy rains In Kansas and Nebraska
checked the advance for a .time, but later
this factor was Ignored. A feature of the

advance was caused by the operations of a
prominent trader who. It is said, is en
deavoring to corner the market. The mar
ket In general was strong all day. Wet
weather, small receipts, firm cables and the
strength of wheat were bullish Influences.

SOCIAL TEAS IN ROME
Solon Life at Excelsior Amid Sun
shine and Music. -
Rome (Italy) Letter in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
To go for tea to the Excelsior is quite
the thins in Home. About 5 every after
noon the grand salon is filled with a fash
ionable throng who pre-empt the multi
tude of small tables tall palms and flow
ers offering plenty of semi -secluded
nooks; the Hungarian band plays, the
waiters move about dispensing hot but
tered toast, cakes and muffins; everybody
is talking at once, and altogether the gen
eral pandemonium rises to high-water
mark.
The more noise, the more enjoyment,
apparently. The music strives furiously
to outdo the conversation and the con
versation endeavors to drown the music
The tables are all beautiful, spread with
china and napkins, with cold rolls, cakes,
wafers, cream and sugar ready; a great
silver pot of tea and pitchers of hot wa
ter are brought on order, and the hot
toast and muffins are continually' being
handed about, by the waiters. The hostess
of a "tea" secures her table holding
anywhere from four to a dozen accord-

ing to the number of her guests; they all
group around; every table in the room is
similarly engaged; the music begins and
everyone talks at once. The effect may
be imagined. The more noise the happier
Is the assemblage. Now it might not un
naturally be supposed that rational be
ings who desire to exchange ideas and
compare views, conversationally, would
not choose a pandemonium of this char
acter, in which to meet for whatever mu
tual confidence they proposed to indulge.
This vast salon in the Excelsior is 'the
general meeting ground of all Rome, so
cially considered. For the Italian instincts
are for publicity as entirely as the na
tional instincts of the English are for
privacy. The born Italian Is a beir.s who
is at home on the sunny side of the street,
and even when one studies the nation in
its rank and nobility, the same instincts,
more or less, prevail. And foreign ha
bitues easily fall into the ways of the
country, and when in Rome do as the
Romans do. Consequently, it fell out the
other afternoon when I was seated at a
large round table in an enticing corner,
half screened by palm trees and great
masses of pink azaleas, with a German
Baron and his pretty bride, an Italian
Principessa and a. Marches a, two Italian
Counts and one or two other friends, that
I was entertained part of the time by a
most serious narration by one of the men
of hut religious experiences and his feel
ings and impressions, particularly, when
recently visiting Assist, following the
traces of the footprints of St. Francis
and again, during this same tea, by a con
fidential outpouring, from a lady, of her
vivid remembrances of one of her former
reincarnations in Egypt! She remem
bered", she says, that she was a priestess
then and she narrated a Ion? account of
that life.
These two confidences in time were
sandwiched in between the strains of
Strauss and Palestrlna and Donizetti and
Wagner as they floated out on the air
from the orchestra in a concealed bal
cony; between the vivid and sparkling
comments on a recent Grand Ducal ball
given in the splendors of en old Roman
palace; a narrating of private audience
with his holiness, In the Palazzo Vatlcano;
and the latest news of the excavations
now being conducted by Commandatoir
Boni. Everything is discussed at these
tea-table talks in the late afternoon, from
the most profound and serious subjects
to the latest surface gossip of chiffons and
fluffy roffles! A sort of eager, brilliant
intensity, too, is thrown into everything
whether it be festivities or funerals.
The Roman ceremony pervades every
thing. The customs that surround a death
are as elaborate as those that surround a
wedding. On learning of a death all the
friends go Immediately to the residence
and inscribe their names in a great book
which the porter of the palace has ready
at the entrance. The gates to the palazzo
are hung with crepe and wreaths;
within a salon is converted into a chapel
ardente, and the bier is surrounded by
lighted candles and flowers, and at the
foot is placed a fount of holy water, into
which each friend dips his hand and
crosses himself on entering. The funeral
ceremonies in the church are very long
and elaborate, and around the huge
black catafalque all the household serv
ants remain kneeling through the cere
mony. The hearse in Rome is a colossal
affair, and it is heaped with flowers, of
ten In tall designs, that loom up very
largely in the distance. Often 20 or more
open carriages follow piled with flowers,
with no occupants in these.
Tomcat Wins Tug of War,
Philadlphla Record.
A boastful machinist, employed at the
Jessop steel mill, near Washington. Pa.,
had the conceit taken .out of him by a
big tomcat the other day. He was boast
ing of his strength, declaring that he
could pull a horse through the waters of
Chartiers Creek. Superintendent Wilson,
of the mill, offered to bet 10 that he
couldn't pull a cat through the water
from bank to bank. The bet was taken,
a big, black tomcat was secured at a
near-by house, and the 200 mlllworkers
gathered at tne crefk to see the test of
strength. The machinist was on one side
of the creek with one end of a rope and
the cat and the spectators were on the
other. The rope was tied around the cat
and, when all was ready, the word was
given and the tug-of-war was on. The
machinist held his own for a moment,
and then, with a mighty heave against
the straining hemp, the cat pulled him
Into the water.
