The potato market has become firmer an4 utilise some unexpected development oemira, the early winter slnmp that the growere have feared will be averted. There is not much demand yet from Ban Fran cisco, which la being- supplied by the heavy crop of Rivers, but Los Aneeles buyers are In the market and are picking; up what choice lots they can find In tre Valley at PV to $1 per hundred. There has also been considerable burins fey local speculators, who have paid $1 for fancy lots, and ar storing- their stock In the confidence that tha lata market will be high one. Farmers are also of this Im pression and many of t'lera are storing their potatoes against tha future. Offerings at present, therefore, are light and this add to tha flrmne5s. There Is some uncertainty as to Just where the late market will go. but that prices should be Rood Is conceded by alt. In some quarters It Is predicted that pota toes will sell In January. February and March at higher prices than have ever ben realised here be for. Tho Found markfs are strong and hljrh. but are not drawing r n Oregon, as they ran get what they want, aside from the Taklmas. at Southwestern Washington points. The aheenco In the local market of potato from thos sections Is a strenirth entmr factor In the situation here.

It Is reported that a sale direct to an agent of a prominent brewlnc-house has been made !n this vicinity at 1 '-A steady business ts doing, but the larger and better crops are n-'t yet on the market and until they are. little can be done. From 10c to 12 '.o mav be said to be the general range of prf-e In this and adjoining counties. Concerning the Inc-reneo In beer sales In Fptcrn.V'r. the New York Journal of Com-' mro aald: The topic of general Interest with sellers as wen mjt brewers waa the remarkable showing made by beer sales In September tn the statistics published by the Vnitcd Ftstea Government. K very body had looked f-r a decrease In view of the spread of prohibition and local- option sentiment over the country and bets were made cn tha extent of the decline of sales. The figures, however, were most reassuring from tha standpoint of dealers In hops and brewers. According to the returns, the consumption of beer In the t'nlted States during the month of September amounted to 0.S73 2.1 barrels, as against 5,339.3. barrels for the same period of 1007.

The high prices of last week Induced shlpmsr.ta on a large scale, the arri val of chickens for toe forenoon amounting to 1M coops. Tte large buyers pursued their usual tactic under such circumstances and kept out of the market almost entirely. The result was that price had to bs cut vigor ously to make any movemert at all. White 15 rr.ts i9 frrely pal J for chickens the day te'ore. buyers yesterday wou!d not offer over li'HSlSH cents, acd some sales were made at 12 cents.

In response to the ; strorg cable" advices, but local quotations ere not raled. Club wu quoted at cents and bluetem at 14 cents, but It Is not likiy any wheat cou!4 be bought at those figures. Some offers oh a higher bsLs are reported to have been rnarte In' the country. There Is very little California demand at the preeent time, but It la probable there will be a good movement after the turn of the year. It la estimated that the South will take I.OoO.OOO or S.O0O.0CO bu?heis then, which will leave about 5.000,000 bushels of unsold wheat In the Northwest to be handled by the exporters."

Mock exchange today cfTcr little ma terial for chronicle. The characteristic of the market waa Its flrmnefrs, In apite of Ita Intense dullne. The rata of activity re ceded at times during- the aessslon to the point of idleneiv. The first hour supplied most of th. activity and most of the movement. Some of the buy Ins; at that time came from professional traders who had sold toeks .hort on the assumption that the political demonstration last night would weaken stock, today. The assumption was based on the analogy of pre vious speeches of Mr. Bryan in New York In the couse of political campaigns, which induced tome subsequent liquidation of stocks. There was no mjch selling today and the light demand was sufficient to send prices upward. There -was no sign of ajiy large accumulation of stocks, but a resolute with holding of offering, for sale was very ap parent. The action of the market suggested a determination of the .peculatlve leadership to sand by and await the outcome of the election and what Is to follow. Prices touched today did not in all cases represent a return to th September level. In some prominent stocks, however, that level waa exceeded, l.'nion Pacific, Atchieon, Pennsylvania. United Statea Steel, American Car, Colorado Fuel and Sloss-Sheffield Steel are among the stocks which have rieen to the h1ghtt prices of the year on the pres ent movement.

SURPLUS CUT 20 PER CENT Xorthwest Movement Shows De crease Heavy Buying at Chi cago and December Ad vances Over. tent. CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The wheat market opened strong with price c to c abov, the previous close, but despite the liberal realising at time,, made additional gain, during the 'day and closed at almost the top notch.- Final quotations on December were at Sl.OOfe and on May at S1.03K 1 03H- Commission houses and local shorts were active bidders for wheat the greater part of the day. The situation in Argentina was the chief Incentive for the urgent demand. News from the . South American country was conflicting, but some of the advices were of a sensational na ture, one dispatch claiming that 20 per cent less wheat will be available for ex port this year than was exported last year. Damage by recent frost, was given as the reason for this shortage. The strength of the Liverpool market, which closed at gains of Sd to lttd, seemed to furnish ample confirmation in the minds of many local traders of the numerous reports of injury to the Argentine crop. At the same time, a decided falling off in receipts in the Northwest caused considerable com ment among , traders and inspired addi tional buying. Many traders, however, were unable to decide whether tho decreased movement was the fulfillment of an official prophecy of smaller receipts or was merely a result of unsettled weather In that sec tion. The market was also bull'.shly af fected by a good export demand ' at Lm luth. where it was claimed exporters took everything offered over night. The corn market was firm all day. The market closed steady. December closed at 63?463c and May at C3c. Trade in otfts as ' quiet. The market closed firm at the top. with prices H43 4itO higher than yesterday. December closed at 48c and May at 4U50c. Decreased receipt, of live hogs af West ern packing centers caused firmness In provisions.

A dispatch to the Tribune from Detroit, Mich., says: Missing Its vay In a smoke pall over Georgian Bay on Saturday, the steamer Iroquois, wlth 11 passengers and a crew of five, smashed on West Rock. Twen ty minutes later It caught fire from an overturned cookstove. The people aboard owe their 11 v-es to the prompt response of a passing tug to the signals of dis tress. When the Iroquois crashed Into the rock, careening far over, panic en sued. There were women on board. There was a sea running which made the lowering of lifeboats Impossible. Back of the vessel in the smoke was the rafting tug. The Iroquois whistled for aid and the tug. dropping its log boom, came steaming through the smoke. When the tug pulled alongside there was a scramble for safety. J. H. Kotch er, of Detroit, was also on the wreck. He caught babies aa they were tossed over the rail of the steamer to. the tug below and assisted frightened women and lent a hand everywhere until all were aboard the tug. Football Played by Dogs.
