MONEY IN POULTRY Demand Generally Good and Supply Small. fcIGH PRICES QUOTED HERE Ontpat of llie Industry in Oregon Laat Year Valued at ?3,000, OOO Effort to Improve Stock.' The output of poultry arm products Jn Oregon last year exceeded fS.000,000 In value, and the Industry is growing. According: to the figures of the lust census, the average value of eggs per dozen In Oregon In 1SM was IS cents, compared -with ICS cents In Washing ton and 18.6 cents In California- The average for the United States was 11.2 cent, or, according to geographical divisions: Cents. North Atlantic 14.9 Booth Atlantic 11.1 North Central 10.4 South Central U.2 Western 16.0 .The census statistics contained the following returns from Paelflc Coast States: .

Receipts have been heavy, but for some leason the demand has exceeded the supply. Prices, conseqeuntly, have-moved up. except for Springs, for which there Is less Inqulrr. Although the poultry market Is usually ilower during the mld-Summor months than at other seasons of the year, a good business renerally has been done In this line on Front itreet this Summer. Taken all In all. poultry Is one of the most profitable Industries In tills part of the state. Prices, except at a few period?, such as following the Tranksglvlng and Christmas holidays, are uniformly good. nd the Fame may be said of the egg market. It Is evident that the production of chickens nd eggs has not followed the increase In population. It Is difficult to arrive at accurate statistics of the Industry, but It Is known that the product of the poultry farm in Oregon last year exceeded $3,000,000 In value. No strictly reli able figures can be gathered on the baslnesn. as the census people did not gather statistics of this kind from the suburbs of tho cities and It Is apparent that a large part of the product" came from such localities. That the Industry Mn territory tributary to Portland Is on the Increase Is proved by the growth In the demand for poultry supplies from houses carrying such articles. A' few years ago there was no Inquiry at all for egg producers and now the stores oan hardly carry enough grit, shells, ground bone and the like. Some months from 10 to 20 carloads of this r-.atej-Jal lm 4rocght to Portland. Intelligent pouluy-ralEtrs, are bending ti!r efforts to Improve their stock, and In this lies the success of the Industry. E. J. Ladd. of this city, an expert In the business, is one of those who believes In reducing poultry-growing to a science. He says: "The main Idea Is to educate the grower to scientific principle. This Is the object of the State Poultry Association which is doing & great good In pushing the Industry to the front. Last Winter they held a series ot monthly meetings in the Chamber of Com merce, and as some of them were attended by 250 growers. It Is needless to sav they were popular. The meetings this Fall will begin on the first Tuesday In October, when Ed Car lisle, the light Brahma man, will lecture. On the first Tuesday in November C. D. Mlnton. of Salem, will Fpealc, and others will be ar- rang"d for at the following meetings. These meetings aro to ivoultry-growers what the Institutes are to the farmers." Mr Ladd declares that there is more money in roultry-ra!slng than In dairying. The local supply Is far below the demand and the In dustry has a bright future before It. Conditions that apply In the poultry and egg trade here are good for other points In the Northwest. Seattle and Taoorha draw largely on this market for their supplies, and buyers for I'uget Sound houses are frequently oper ating throughout the Valley. In California the situation Is about the same and It Is well known that San Francisco Is one of the high priced egg markets in the country, the enor mous output of the Petaluma district falling far short of the demand. In the East poultry crnJlti ns are peculiar and Illustrate the mar velous control of the market obtained In re cent years by tog packers of the West. A New York commercial paper of recent date said: "ith:n the past few years there has been a marked chattge In the poultry market of -c" iorK. rormeny all poultry came from Individual shippers. IlefcivM? harf th.ir- nt. from whom they received supplies, and there come ireeoora I choice. A list of poul try shippers was a valuable asset"for a Arm. ao go tunner oacK, the bulk of the sup plies came from what may be termed Eastern sources. New England points. New York State, Pennsylvania and possibly adjoining states were heavy sh!ptcrs, and different lo calities built up reputations for their products. '"Fjur or five years ago Armour and Swift went Into the paultry business. The result is almost astonishing when one stops to con sider It. There are few Individual shippers now. Eastern poultry-raisers have been forced cut of business, and one sees the boxes from tts large concerns everywhere. The bulk of all poultry -which comes to this market is from the Wert. There are still a few special totals like Philadelphia, which sond comparatively sma.l quantities, but they scarcely count in the totals. The West Is supplying New York with jjuitry and most of it comes from the la-ge packing houses. ia years past New Jarsey produced excel-lt-t r.u.try and stripped H to New Tork. Now very . ttie Is bred for this market. When l-vs; tied about It, a leading receiver of IK u' try said that the oompetttkm of the West ern Amis who could toy down poultry In New York il.eaper than the New Jersey grower had cauted the Jersey producer to go out of business. There are a few pctalttes pro duced nearb which rank higher than thr average run of poultry awl which bring high prices ;ut the small receipts Co sot aftect the r..a.a .viiuwt it is, on the whole, im pcssll ,e . . ompete In this market with Arm cur aad Swift and do business in a large way. AncUicr reason assigned for the disap pearance of Jersey poultry Is the fact that Hoe tr uble the fowls and continuous inbreeding has weakened the strata. But prokftMy mere c: rr.t - t.tkn leos severe, there would be ssore v.k:t efforts to overcome those difficulties, vrt. h -re but minor ones, alter all. licet vers in thte city mmt generally con text themselves with such poultry as Armour and Sv!!t send them or go without asy. While the situation is not exactly to the ltkiag of some p i-p.c, there is no likelihood sow of any reversion to former condltloa." PORTLAND MARKETS. (rrtfri. Flour, Feeil, Etc.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2L The lessening range of the fluctuations In today's stock market, its Irregular tone and the diminishing volume of business all indicated pretty clearly the ap proach of another period of speculative rest, which is likely to mean small trading and sluggish fluctuations until some marked change In conditions develops. Tho rally which de veloped yesterday afternoon was carried for ward this morning to the extent of between one and two points for the active stocks. The rally was apparently directed against the aborts and was effective In inducing them to cover largely. This served as an admonition to the bears that forces existed to oppose their efforts to fores prices lower. Just as tho re action on Tuesday had a warning effect oa the over-Industrious bulls. A comparison of prices of 20 active railroad stocks indicated that the decline in average prices from the high level of 1&02 to the low level in the early part of the present month reached something over 45 points. The only substantial intervening- rally was In the lat ter part of last year and the first part of this, under the influence of what Wall Street has come to name the "faith cure," consisting In Intimations from an influential party of bank ers last Fall, when bank reserves were fall ing, that they stood prepared to supply $50,- 000,000 of credits to the stock market if necessary to avert trouble. That measure postponed the process of liquidation but did not avert it. The rally In the average price of the same 20 stocks, up to the culmination of Tuesday, Is estimated at 11 points. The re action from yesterday's low point was In the neighborhood of five points, and today's up ward movement did not avald to overcome that. The approach toward a condition of more stable equilibrium Is easily perceptible. The early demand today did not go far beyond the uncovered, short Interest. The actual weak ness developed oy the United States realty stocks was a factor In checking the advance, but it was not effectively renewed after the Realty stocks rallied. The day's weather map was reported perfect for the growing crops, and wheat and com eased off In conse quence. Copper was strong in London, and sentiment abroad was more cheerful regard ing the prerent outlook for Southeastern Eu rope. The week's receipts of Australian gold and the fact that the currency movement at the interior is still in favor of New York on balance promises well for tomorrow's bank statement, although the usual doubts surround the loan Item. These new developments did not avail to bold the market. Weakness be came decided In the United States Steel stocks and In Pennsylvania and quite a number of leading active stocks were forced .a point or more under last night's level. A final rally ac centuated the Irregular character -of the mar ket, and the close was firm. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $1,109,000. United States bonds were un changed on call.

GIFT OF POPULATION. Cchsbs Barcaa Analyzes the Move ment Toward All Sections. WASHINGTON". Aug. 21. The Census Bureau has published, as a bulletin, a discussion on the Increase of population fa tne United States as shown by the census of 1900. The principal results of a study of these figures are summarized as follows: ne Increase In the population of conti nental "United States that Is, the United States exclusive of Alaita and the recent insular accessions was 13,046,561, or 20.7 per cent. Only one country, Argentina, has shown by the most recent figures a more rapid rate of growth. The present rate of growth In continental United States Is estimated as double the average rate of Europe. It 13 nearly double that of Canada, and exceeds by one-sixth that of Mexico, and by one-tenth that of Aus tralia. The rates of Increase on the two sides of the Northern Atlantic differ much less than they did a generation ago. Among the five main divisions of continental United States the highest rate of increase Is found In the Western division, and the lowest In the North Central. Among the 11 minor divisions, the highest rate of growth 13 found in the Rocky Mountain group of states, closely followed by the Western South Central; the lowest In the Northern South Atlantic, closely followed by tne Western North Central. In the decade 1S90 to 1900. for the first time lit our National history, the South ern States increased faster than the Northern. East of the Mississippi, how ever, the Northern States as a group have grown in the last ten years some what more rapidly than the Southern, but west of that river the Southern States have increased almost 2 times as rap- Idly as the Northern, and It Is this fact which makes the growth of the South as a whole exceed that of the North. In the North Atlantic division the rate of increase has risen steadily since the Civil War, a notable contrast to the trend In the country as a whole. The region west of the Mississippi River is still increasing faster than east of It, but the difference between the rates of growth in the two regions, 1S90 to 1900, was little more than one-fifth of what Is was from 1SS0 to 1S90. The region west of the Mississippi Increased more rapidly from 1E90 to 1900 than from 1SS0 to 1SS0. while that west of the Mississippi increased In the later decade not much more than half as In the earlier. The conclusion Is drawn that the increased growth of the East and the decreased growth of the West may both be connected with, a prob able decline In the current westward ml gratlon. The rates of increase in the North and South during the last 20 years were prac tlcaily the same. But In the character of this growth the two regions differ widely. there being a relatively uniform growth over the whole South, equalized by a bal ance In the North between a lower rate of rural growth and a higher rate of urban growth. Extensive but sparsely set tled areas In the western part of Kansas Nebraska and South Dakota show a de cline of population in the last ten years, a fact which It la said may be connected with the increase of population in many agricultural counties of Iowa, Illinois and adjoining states, 1SS0 to 1900. The most noteworthy result of the en tire discussion, It is said, is the cumula tive evidence of the rapid approach to equality in the rates of Increase of vari ous parts of the United States. This ap pears whether North be compared with South, East with West, or city with country. Oil Field Fire Extlnralshed. SO Li .it LAKE, Tex., Aug. 21.
