TENDENCY IS DOWNWARD Suspension or livestock Rates Ts Considered an Adverse Factor. Western Financial Situation, However, Clears Up. NEW YORK. Aug. IS. On a very light volume of business, the bulk of which was professional, today's stock market drifted along within very narrow limits. While no marked pressure was directed ajraliusL any particular group of stocks, th, tendency ws. for the roost part, downward and some disap pointment wss expressed at the failure of the market to continue laat week's general ad van re. The day's news was without very direct bearing on securities value although the sus pension by the Interstate Commerce Commie .inn of livestock rat.-, which were to have become opermtiv, today waa accounted some thin, of an adverse factor. Advices from Western traffic managers were uniformly cheerful and Chicago reported an Increase In grain. fKmr and oats, these being offset by smaller receipts of wbeaU and corn. By general consent the Western financial situation hns cleared during th, past few weeks and llltle apprehension of a stringency is now entertained. Buelness In mercantile line, throughout the Ml.ldle West continues dull and the same condition applies to other Sect lODA Crop news wss for the roost part encour sglnr. with marked Improvement In corn conditions throughout Nebraska and Kansas. A very alight fractional advance was an nounced In the price of copper and trade au thorities were quoted aa declaring that sales of the metal In the Isst three weeks hsve ag gregated not less than 2l.ooo.'ju0 pounds. While talk of a copper curtailment agreement con tinues to he heard, the Montana, smellers ap pear to b. receiving all the ore they can handle. Ixndon's operations In this market were trtnitig and without significance. Stocks dis played a tendency to move upward In the Anal hour, when sdvance, were shown In the more speculative Issues, but the Improvement Was lost, tn many Instances before the close, which was dull and Irregular, the only note worthy exception being RK-k Island preferred, which maoe a gain of more than three points.

FANCY LAMBS BRING $6.00 Wide Ran fee Is Shown in Sales ot Steers and Cows, Reflecting Quality of Offerings More Hogs From Middle West. The week opened with a Heavy run of all classes of livestock at the North Portland yards, the totals being 759 cattle. 1919 sheep, and 636 bogs but the prices paid-in the sales recorded for the day were not such as to Indicate that th market was very greatly on the mend. Three bunches of steers changed hands during the day. and for these the best price psld was $5.25, while common steers went at $3.85. Cows sold at a wide range, com mon stock going at $3.25. while the best moved during the day brought $4.23. Calves, stags and bulls moved within the range last quoted. Th relatively low prices paid for most of the cattla that changed hands yesterday were in a large way attributable to the quality of th offerings. There were some good grade beeves at the yards, but the showing In quality generally was none too good. . Three large lots of lambs that graded as prims changed hands in the forenoon at $6 a hundred. No other sheep sales were re ported, but dealers held that fancy mutton stock was easily movable at going quota tions. " Practically all the hogs that reached the yards over Sunday'came from Nebraska, snd it was understood that they were contract deliveries. The prices at which they were taken over by the packers were not made public. There was nothing, however, to Indi cate that hog values had gone off further. Shippers represented at the yards were Mr. Cottrell, of Mc-Mlnnvllle, two cars of sheep; L. E. West, of Oaklahd, two cars of sheep; B. F. Nichols, of Riddles, one car cattle; W. L.

SALEM, Or., Aug;. 15. (Special.) It Is probable that the coming: state election will result in another fat In crease In the salary of the Salem post master. After the last general election In Oregon the salary at the Salem post ofTlce was substantially increased owing- to-the sreatly enlarged postal re ceipts resulting from postage on ini tiative pamphlets. As there will be more than double the number of pamphlets this year the postage will no doubt reach a point which will add several hundred dollars to the annual salaries of both the postmaster and his assistant- The postmaster's salary Is at present $3300.
