!i TRY TO SELL' Potato Speculators Anxious to Unload. PAID ABOVE THE MARKET But Farmers, Excltod by the Ex treme Prices Offered, Now De cline to Market Their Product. Holiday . Tone In Grain. Thre Is a lull in the potato market at ths present time. Some of the buyers who Jumped In not Ions fi-KO and paid prices abova the market value In anticipation of a bulge, have now turned sellers and axe trying- to unload on the other dealers, but -with fnflllTerent success. The demand from Cali fornia la Terr slow and the shippers are cautious about taking hold. Based on the E&n Francisco market, where average stock Is soiling at $1.13 and fancy at $1.23. shippers are orroring to farmers AO 83 cents for Eastern Multnomah and OS TO cents for Valley stock. This, they say, la all the market will Justify, but the farmers are still excited by the higher prices offered recently by speculator and are not disposed to sell at these prices. They are nearly all ens-aged In digging now. but are holding back their potatoes from the market, although prices axe very fair. This, In the opinion of the dealers. Is bad policy and may lead to a slump later, when all of them try to market their product. The California market la held down by the big supply of River potatoes still unsold. There Is always a "demand in San Fran cisco for a certain amount of Oregona. but the price is governed by the price of Cali fornia potatoes. The best Inquiry Just at the present time Is for seed varieties, to ship south, and for these buyers here are offering one cent a pound. otuxox actus ix msw york. " Bale la Helped by Poor Quality of Kastern (ronn Fruit. The Hew Tork Frultman's Guide of Je cemher 18 reports a good general move ment In box apples at 12.M-4 per box for pttsenberg stock, and other Western apples ' eelllng as to kind and quality at $2-50 3 per box. Many poor Eastern apples are on the New Tork market, which has Injured the general trade la barrel stock, but, as a New Tork dealer expressed It. 'It would seem to have stimulated a good doal of busi ness In the box stock, and this fruit now has the call here. It Is said that most of the Oregon apples have been shipped out of the etato, and It Is said that a good per centage of the fruit has found a market In this and contiguous centers." The Guide says of the Hood River apple deal: "Hood River apples packed by the Hood River Valley Association have again demon strated the value of care In the packing and selection of stock for the several markets. It Is stated on good authority that the big deal In. the fruit handled by Bteinhoxdt & Kelly, cf this city, has practically been wound uro. and that the bulk of the Hood River product has been put into circulation among the trade. The apples from the sec tion noted made as much of a hit this sea son as last and that is saying a good deal, for last year the sales were on a scale that marked an epoch In the history of apple marketing. IMi year as then the uniform ity shown In the grading and packing of this high-class fruit established a confidence among the buyers that made the disposal of the stork a mere matter of detail. To the Hood River Apple-Growers' Union is due the praise that comes to those who have set a nigh mark for excellence and maintained It." BAuem hops sell fob si chests ew Hop Acreage In California ' Estimated at 600 Acres, Hop dealers look for some business this wek for aocount of late EMcember ship menta. but It Is not likely there' will be much trading until the holidays axe past.' Aa for the foreign demand. It la not ex pected to materialise strongly until after the FTngllah elections. Although several dealers were in the mar ket yesterday, the only transaction reported was the purchase of Catlln & Unn of tha Blmontaa lot of 111 bales at Salem at 21 cents. A California letter stated that some con tracting was being done In Eonoma at M cents for three years. It was estimated by the writer of the letter that the- new hop acreage In the state will amount to 600 acres of which SOO acres is la Sonoma, no Acnrrrr ix graiv trade. Buyers and Sellers Waiting Until tha Holi days Are Over. Grain traders are waiting until the holi days axe over to resume active business. In the meantime, with hardly any offerings or demand, prices are nominal, yet the under tone of the market Is very healthy.

There was not much demand for live poul try yesterday, but the little that came In sold at good prices. Chickens brouxht IS cents, and Chinese buyers readily paid 20 cents for ducks. A fair Inquiry Is expected this week for dressed poultry, and it is prob able that what surplus was carried over will be entirely worked off. Eastern ducks' and geese are meeting with much favor because of their unusually fine appearance. The street was well supplied with eggs, and while In some quarters the feeling was weak, elsewhere a good demand was re ported. Cheese was quoted very firm, and It Is an ticipated that prices will be raised this week or next. The butter market has gained rant strength from the advance in the East. Receipts of Fresh Produce.

Trade in dairy produce was very brisk. The demand for fresh eggs was reported better "than at any tiroa in two weeks, but the anticipated rise to 60 cents did not ma terialize and sales were made at 43 cents. There was a fair demand for hens and chickens and a few orders for live turkeys for the New Year's trade were booked at Christmas prices. Millers were able to get wheat here to day, and all but one plant resumed. There was not much demand for wheat, and last week's prices prevail. Hay receipts were 49 carloads.

THEN LOSES ALL ITS GAIN Bungling Manipulation GiTen as the Reason for Its Extraordinary Action Ijiet in General Xot Affected. XETV YORK. Dec. 27. Te Rook Iflamd episodo In today's stock mnrket afforded an opportunity to test the stability of the pres ent specnlatlye position. TTie resisting- power shown to the alarming Intimations carried by the sensational gyrations la Rock Island mock served as assurance that the present position ia not easily vulnerable. There was a dread that quiet liquidation mipht have been going on which would be followed, after a certain statre. by the withdrawal of support and abandonment of values to the natural play of forces. rf In some stocks where there has been a per sistence of speculative activity since the g-en-eral market has grown quiet there was a hasty unloading of stocks, and a sharp break In prices. Tha general list, however, stood up well under the shock and then rallied. The conclusion is forced that the heavy tone last week was due to a pause In tha activity of the speculation for a rise, rather than to any active pressure to sell stocks. Whatever explanation may He back of tha Rock Island episode, the movement of tha stock was extraordinary. A rise of 81 14 points In five minutes In the price of a rail road stock having a substantial volume and a widely disseminated market, 10 a rare oc currence in stock market history. When It Is followed in almost as IltUe time by a comitate relapse. It may be sold to be al most without precedent. Attempted explanations of the movement were widely varied and In some cases fan tastic. Recent heavy sales of calls' on the stock by foreign stock operators and the pur chases by them, according to the rule, of half the amount required to meet the con tract undoubtedly played a part In the coa dltion. y The conviction grew that a miscarriage of the market- management of the stock had as much to do as anything with the unedifylng spectacle of Its performance. That manage ment has Involved lavish outlay of resources end a very free play of manipulative forces. Instead of the usual carefully calculated bal ance of such forces today, there seemed to have been a reckless or blundering upheaval In one direction without the Intended effect on the other side. An error by A- subordinate clerk was one specious suggestion brought forward, with the conclusion left by Christ mas festivities offered to account for It. This explanation or Its corollaries found more gen eral acceptance; than rumors of a struggle for control, owing to the fact of the control lying with the preerred stock of the company. Having asserted Its power of resistance to shock, the stock market showed little dispo sition to move upward with decision pending the working out of the year end money market problem. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, t4.907.000. United States bonds were unchanged on calL CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Low.

SHOBTS II A PANIC Wild Scramble to Cover on Chicago Market. LIFTS PRICE WITH A JUMP December Option Advances 3 1-4 Cents Before the Clone Little or It for Sale Other Deliveries Higher. CHICAGO, rcc. 27. Wheat for Decem ber delivery advanced 84o bers today, owing to a Btampeda of shorts. Otner de liveries also made good gains. The advance in December occurred in the final half of the day and enlivened an otherwise rather listless market. There -was little of the De cember option on sale at any time and fair demand for that month by a leading commission-house started a -wild scramble among shorts to cover which resulted in the price Jumping to f!.194 compared with the low point of the day. The bulr in December forced May from $ 1.10 -&X.11 to $1.12 Vj. Strength of corn helped to stimu late demand tor wheat The market closed about steady, with December at lUlSU and May at f 1.11 01.11s. Corn was exceedingly strong 'the greater part of the day, but broke sharply later, owing to liberal realizing sales. Congestion in the -December delivery contributed ma terially to tho bullish sentiment. The close was steady, with prices o higher than Friday's final quotations, December being at eSo and May at 767Vc. Strength of wheat and corn were chiefly responsible for moderate strength displayed by oats. Prices closed Ho to 9s o higher. Provisions closed 15o lower to 150 hlghr.

There are not many newspapers in the -whole country which "have ever had. or ever will have, the opportunity to print such an editorial, and therefore no one should be critical of what is written therein. There are many things, however, which are worth reading, and some of them are worth repeating. For instance: The Ore gonian states that through ail its life it "has existed solely for the purpose of Journalism." We believe that The Ore gonian has been independent If nothing else. As the editorial states further alone. "This Journal has not been rocked, or cradled, or dandled into fortune."

CRIPPLED WEATHER AKTD BAD SANITATION REDUCE EFFECTIVE FORCE. War in Morocco Conducted in Me dieval Style Requires Great Display of Heroism. MF.T.TT.T.A., Dee. 27. (Special.) A military expert who has been with the Spanish army in the Moroccan cam paign gives his views of the troops as follows: The Spanish army has not been cam; paigning- long enough for the men to understand the best way to keep them selves comfortable in all weathers. Consequently, the appearance of battal ions returning from the outpost lines during the recent rainy weather has often been very sorry Indeed, though they still swing- into town with the g-alt. of good soldierly material. Be sides the weather, the want of proper sanitary precautions in the Inclosed and overcrowded redans, which are the Spanish conception of fieldworks, has taken a heavy toll of the effective strength of all units. All the weaker constitutions have given way, and the companies. Instead of marching in about 200 strong, averaged about 116. The test, however, has been abnormal, and has been made vastly more diffi cult to endure by the inexperience of all ranks. " The relay of refitting; units has given opportunity- fy studying the Spanish officers when off duty. The cafes of Melilla are crowded with them. In per sonal appearance, they ' represent no hard-and-fast type. Judging from their physique, they might be drawn from the whole of Europe. The ma jority are slight, even delicate. In build, and dark. The bonhomie and camara derie between them axe very refresh ing. They are all unconsciously gurru lous. but at the same time they possess a restraint and chivalrous bearing all their own. There is none of that wild hilarity that was seen at Cape Town in 1900, no suggestion of the orgies which made Mukden horrid in 1904, nor is there that quiet self-effacement which was so noticeable at the bases of the Japanese army In the field. A curious feature in the Spanish army in Morocco is the volunteer. Nearly 10 per cent of the strength of most units is composed of volunteers. These for the most part are young men of means and position, who, moved by a spirit of patriotism and adventure, have enlisted for the war. Their ranks include some of the best blood in Spain, and a very large number of stu dents from the various professional and technical colleges. Althoug-h the volunteers meet with so much sympathy from the officers, the permanent noncommissioned offi cers are as a class both tyrannical and mercenary. The poorest recruit is part of their active capital. The vol unteers are a special windfall. Fa tigues and manual labor are their share unless they buy immunity from the sergeant's roster. The medieval instinct for the con duct of war is very strong- in the Span ish officer. Just as strong as it was in the British army up to and during- the Crimean war. This Instinct requires unflinching bravery from the officer. His conception of the duty of leading his men requires him to show an abso lute contempt for the enemy's fire, and the amount of valor that has to be sac rificed to the modern firearm before this medieval instinct is eradicated is incredible. Qnly a few days back the Leon Reei- ment covered itself with glory because it came Dacst in gooa oraer alter ex tricating a reconnolterinsr fnrm tv., !s, the companies as they retired before meir enemy sloped arms and marched steadily back without undue haste in the peculiar single-file formation which the Spanish lnfantrv affota a. a trial of regimental discipline an ,- durance it was superb. But as a tacti cal movement, it was at least open to adverse comment. The campaign in Morocco has given evidence of sufficient excel lence in tne bpamah infantryman to warrant . the expectation - of better things in better circumstances. He I brave, not to say heroic, for the tacti cal formations upon which his offir-or insist need nothing- short of heroism to carry mem out- Parable of s Cowardly Egg- Everybody's.
