BANKER DECLARES FINANCIERS
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
PRE8IDENT
PANAMA CANAL AN AMAZING WORK
Eait and South are Laued but Trav
eler Declare Oregon I -Beet
Stat, of
All
"BiihIiu'hs condition In all parts of
the I'nlted Ktntes 1 vlnlted were
about all thnt could bo expected",
said Charles II. Caufleld, President
of tho Kit ilk of Oregon City, who with
Mrs. Cauflold, returned Haturdoy
night from a trip through the East,
Middle West, Houth, Cuba, Canada
and Panama. "Tlie bitnlucHs men
and llnaiiiiiTH, no far a I could
learn, do not expect a financial de
pression during tho WHkoii adminis
tration. As a matter of fact they re
gard tho new President as a safe
man and .believe he will make a great
chief executive. Of course they real
ize he lacks experience, but a man
of the ability he has shown. It s be
lieved, will make few mistakea."
Mr. Caufleld himself Is optimistic
regarding conditions and believes
tbe country is on the eve of an era
of great prosperity. It was his first
extended trip outside of Oregon, and,
although glad to get borne, he pays
glowing tributes to the Eat and
South.
"We left here February 2," said
Mr. Caufleld, "and we have been on
tho go ever since. We went to New
Orleans first and bad a line time
there. The Southern metropolis Is
a great city, and Is growing rapid!.
Then we went to Panama and look
ed over the canal. It Is a great work,
and I believe will be finished sooner
than toe published reports indicate.
There, however, 1 a great deal of
work to be done.
"From Panama we went to Santia
go, Cuba. We went up San Juan
hill and saw where Ex-President
Itoosevelt led hi men to victory.
Santiago I beautifully located and
the harbor la one of tbe finest I ever
aaw. From there we went to Ha
vana, which 1 a beautiful place. The
only trouble we experienced in Cuba
was that we coulS not converse with
many persons because we were not
fluent speakers of Spanish. However,
we managed to get along all right.
From Havana we returned to New
Orleans and from there went by pill
to Washington. Tbe capital is a
beautiful city. New York and Phil
adelphia, of course, impressed us, and
we enjoyed our visit in Boston. From
Boston we went to Mbntreal and To
ronto, then to Buffalo to see Nlagra
Fall and then to Chicago, returning
home by way of Seattle.
"Although we had a great trip and
liked all the place visited there Is
no country lilfe Oregon. I am glad
to be home."
HAZING IMPERILS
LIFE OF HILLWORKER
Joe Cxarneckl. a lG-year-old boy,
employed by the Oregon City Monu
facturlng Company, received a severe
beating at tbe bands of a number of
his fellow employes Thursday after
noon. Czarueckl, who is a. young
Bohemian, had just been given a p"0-
motlon and it is alleged that the six
boys who attacked him were jealous
The boy was much bruised about the
chest and abdomen. Dr. C. H. Melss
ner was summoned and removed the
boy to his home at Mount Pleasant.
Dr. Meissner stated Friday night
that no bones were broken. It was
said that two of the boy connected
with the hazing were James Lungan
and Walter Newman.
Potato markets along the coast
are showing further declines in price
and the outlook Is worse than before,
if such a condition is possible.
At Son Francisco. Oregon Bur
banks have dropped down to 6j c
per cental for best offerings, and little
of the business is available even at
this figure. River stock is selling
there down to 35c per cental, the
lowest price ever known for similar
quality.
At Puget Sound points TTie market
has become so clogged with offerings
that It is impossible to sell more
than a small per cent of the arriv
als even at 55 and 56c per cental.
Locally the situation is even worse
than at other points along the coast
owing to the entire absence of an
outlet. California does not waut Ore
gon supplle because there are more
holding there than the trade can
take care of. Arizona and Texas rae
able to buy potatoes closer at home
at lower prices than Pacific northwest
stock can be landed there, therefore,
none of this business is offering.
This la the first year known that no
business baa been possible with the
southwest.
EGGS ARE UP.
Eggs have had a shadp rise In the
local market within the last few day.
This Is due, according to local author
ities, to the fact that one of the
large Portland commission houses
contracted to ship six carloads ot
them. They did not have 'this Im
mense quantity and have been forced
to buy all over the Northwest, with
the result that the price has risen
accordingly. It is thought that they
will fall in a week or two.
tr so. Ret a box of Dr. King' New
Life Pills, take them regularly and
yonr trouble will quickly disappear.
They will stimulate the liver, improve
your digestion and get rid of all tbe
poison from your system. They will
surely get you well again. 25c at all
druggists.

APPLE DEALERS
Action calculated to relieve the
Portland market of its apple surplus
and make room for the new spring
fruit 1 now well under way, and
some of tbe wholesalers expect with
in tbe nett week or two to have
their store and warehouse stock so
far reduced that tbe apple market
thereafter will be no cause for appre
hension. A feature of the trade was tbe
sale by one of the jobber ot 500
boxes of tbe fruit at 35 cent a box.
The fruit in question graded as com
mon to fair and were about such a
usually sell at 65 to 85 cents a box
at this time of the year. The sale
was made solely with a view to clean
ing up stocks, and though the price
obtained meant a loss to the grower
It was counted better than keeping
the fruit and dumping it later.
Tbe dealer who made the sale
said:
"The unfortunate feature of the
apple market throughout the season
has been tbe immense over-Btock of
trash apples that at the best could
not grade above common, and which
should have been converted into ci
der in the orchard or fed to hogs.
Had tbe grower kept this stock
back, or the greater part of It, and
sent to the Portland market a 'fair
proportion of their best offerings,
with the understanding that they
were to be sold at prices In line with
those obtainable this season In the
Eastern centers, the local market
would have taken care of Itself much
better than it has done and the pro
ducers would have .unquestionably
profited by such a policy.
"Instead ot doing this, the organ
ized growers, at Hood River and else
where, at the opening of the season
adopted the mistaken policy of send
ing the finest of their products to
the Eastern and foreign markets,
while ruinously low prices have been
the rule for months, and giving us
the refuse. This they have done, and
to make the situation worse they
have in many case insisted that the
poor to medium grade apples sent to
Portland be sold at prices that could
not by any means have been obtain
ed in the East"
HOP MARKET QUIET
BUT HAS FIRM TONE
The hop market is quiet but very
firm. For medium grade buyers con
tinue to offer 15 cents freely. This
is the only quality that is being of
fered at all In the Willamette Valley.
Tbe latter grade of goods is not on
the market at all. In comparison
with mediums the best stock should
be worth around 20c a pound, but
buyers are unwilling to offer this fig
ure. .
Business of late in the hop trade
has been confined almost exclusively
to the lower grade quality. Brewers
need the hops badly and are there
fore willing to take anything they
can get at present values. With the
consumption of beef showing another
big increase, the likelihood of an ex
treme shortage in brewers' stocks be
fore the next crop is available is
very strong.
Contracts are moving slowly at
15c a pound, owing to the inability
of buyers to secure a greater vol
ume. There Is plenty of business
available for contracts at this figure
and the probable output ot 1913
could likely be cleaned up at this
figure within a very short time.
VEGETABLES HOT HURT
The snow storm in Oregon City
and vicinity Wednesday morning did
no damage. The thermometer did
not reach the freezing point along
the lower stretches near the river.
On the hills back from the river
there was aa slight freeze, but it is
not thought that any appreciable dam'
age has been done to fruit tree and
spring vegetables which the warm
weather of several week ago started
well Into bud. Although Oregon City
has had a few snow storms in March,
they usually do very little damage
on account of the high temperatures
which cause the snow to fast disap
pear.

EFFORTS HADE TO
E
Strong efforts are being made by
some dealers to force the price of
hops lower so they can secure spot
goods aud contracts for less money.
Spot holders never were firmer in
their views than at the present time
and all efforts to secure the better
grade at any price, have completely
failed. It is to shake out there hold
ers tiiat dealers are starting tbe agi
tation for lower prices.
So far as contracts are concern
ed the market is holding steady, al
though dull at 15c a pound. Several
dealers are freely offering at this
price for desirable lots, but ar suable
to get growers to accept.
The market for spot hop la quiet
So few bales are remaining that deal
er figure that they can ignore these
most of the time if they can thereby
force down the price ot contracts.
The most recent sale of spot goods
was the 118 bale lot owned by Joe
Williams, of Carieton, who sold to
Tom Livesay at 16c a pound. The
quality is stated to grade from med
ium to prime.
Foreign markets are quiet but rath
er firm.
BLIGHT KEEPS DOWN
PRICE OF POTATOES
A. L. Beatie, of the Oregon Com
mission Company, say that the low
pices of potatoes that now prevails
in Oregon, is partially due to the fact
that the potatoes from all parts of
the state are badly affected with
blight. For this reason, he stales,
the farmers in California and other
states are afraid to buy ' them for
planting. He' says that if the farm
ers are not careful next year to dip
all their potatoes which they use for
planting, the entire crop will again
be affected with the blight and the
price of that commodity will be low
again next year.
UVE STOCK MARKET
IS HOLDING STEADY
The Portland Stockyards Company
reports as follows:
Receipt for last week were:
Cattle, 1406; Calves, 50; Hogs, 4115;
Sheep, 3S62; Horses, 46.
Beef liquidation has been liberal
last week, just a trifle too heavy for
trade needs. Steer offerings were
mostly half fat stuff which buyers took
over at $7.25 to $7.50. Top loads re
alized $7.70 arid cows and heifers sold
well in rmall lots, but the market is
anything but strong. A good bu'l
trade ruled, while choice veal calves
sold at $9.00 to $9.50, cattle market
showed a weak tendency and is off a
nickel.
Despite a five thousand run of hogs
the market supported a $9.15 price
range all week, and an active session
result. ' Trading was not confined to
light swine as smooth and rough
heavy varieties cut considerable fig
ure. Considering tne enormous re
ceipts it Is remarkable prices did not
slump badly but their steadiness indi
cates the absorbing ability of Const
pork buyers.
Tbe sheep bouse had a holiday last
week, for with the exception ot Mon
day no business has been transacted.
All of Monday's sales were good ones.
especially fed Easter mutton and
lambs (wool on) sold higher than they
will again. One lot of wethers went
at $6.75, ewes $5.75, lambs $7.40 which
shows the class of stuff on hand. No
spring Iambs came forward. Gener
ally the mutton markets is steady.
Public consumption of beef, pork and
mutton will return to normal after
Easter and a true line on livestock
market can then be obtained. Killers
bave received large shipments of con
tracted cattle and sheep which will
tide them over the post-lenten period
when demand will be urgent, and it
appears from this distance that all
markets will be more or less steady.
The following sales are representa
tive.
