INANCE PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept. 25. It has been many a year In the local trade since so much depression was shown In the markets for country killed calves as at present The market has been receiving very liberal supplies of calves of late, ami the outward movement has been un usually limited. Sales of best stock are reported in lots down to 10c a pound, but even at this price the trade is unable to clean up. Showing the extent of the weakness was the offer made yesterday afternoon by a promi nent retail meat company to clean up the entire street at Sc a pound. While this price was considered ridiculous, still It showed clearly that the buyers were In absolute control of the market, because of their already heavy holdings, and were disposed to force the price level to almost nothing. Front street receivers have notified the country trade to quit shipping veals until the market has had a chance to clean up. at a height of 700 yards. Throe hi planes and one monoclone were en Kneed.

PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 24. Many shipments of country killed hogs which have entered the local trade re cently with livers attached, have been damaged In transit and local receivers 'passengers en route from Hongkong to SEE MUCH OF WORLD PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 25. Watched over by harbor police, United States customs inspecprs, United States Immigration officers and pri vate watchmen, the Hrltish steamer Mexico City lies at Montgomery dock No 2 today taking the first of a 2000 ton shipment of wheat for Callao. She arrived up at daylight this morning. Causa of the extra precatulon shown by the government is that 120 Chinese are notifying the trade that at present there Is no law in force which compels the leaving of the livers In the carcass. The mild weather during the last few days has been detrimental to the ship ment of country kiled meats to mar ket especially when the livers In the hogs were attached. Until the law passed some time ago by the Portland officials is finally passed upon by the higher courts, there is absolutely no need for country interests to take such hazardous chances in shipping to the wholei-ole trade. Plenty of time and notice will ba given country shippers If the law will be enforced here. Some country shippers who are not In very close touch with the market here persist in sending forth supplies of spring lambs with pelts attached. Owing to the unfavorable weather for meat shipments generally, this forces Callao, are on ooard and no chance Is being taken on any of them escap ing. This is the second United States port that the Mexico City has put in to, but when she sails from here it will be for Callao. The 120 Chinese on board the steam er have had the ride of their lives. They have traveled over 3000 miles more than they bargained for and have been kept by the steamship company on board all this time.

The United States department of commerce and labor has Just completed a report giving the indebtedness of the differ ent states of the union, the nation and the world. The data contained in the cornpiliation relate to the year 1912.
