quoted that market firmer with sales of
fancy Oregon stock made at $1.35. Holders
In tuts state were not weakened by the lull
following the cold -wave and- growers of
fancy stock are backward sellers.
- The scarcity of fancy yotateos in Oregon
hi sent the buyers into Washington, whfrf
they wero freely offering $ 1.30 yesterdfiy
for the beat loU. On the Ortgun Burtiaiika
that werfl old at San Francisco yesterday,
up to $2-20 wa- realized for strictly fancy.
Common grade arc ttrui in this market at
the prices quoted yesterday, &3c to $1 and
$1.03. Iu tho absence of refrigerator cars,
shippers are utilizing ordinary boxcars in
rubbing their stock r the California mar

modcruted. Xu t earner shipments can be
made before Monday.
Attempts arc again fceinc made in this

Increase their profits, but in spite of. all
they can hay the California conditions are

" NEW YORK. Jan. 24- Anotb.r dull and
narrow market today marked the lapse of
speculative operations Into the hands oi the
strictly professional class of traders, the ori
gin of orders approaching closer to the stock
exchange a their volume decreases. Most
of today'a Hat waa believed to originate on
the floor of the exchange Itself.
So far as the Immediate condition o( the
market la concerned. It wu free today from
any perceptible pressure of liquidation and
where any signs of weakness showed there
was the same resisting power asserted as for
several days past. There were fewer signs df
such weakness today than yesterday and
prices were well held above lost n!shts level
throughout the large part of the session. In
contrast wltp the recovery late In the day
yesterday from the early heaviness.
Railroad note. -In Issues of varying sizes
continue to come upon the market and thla
continues to be -recogTilird as evidence of
the difficulty In the way of. flotation of capital
Issues in more permanent form. Growing
notice Is attracted, however, to the avldity
with which these note Issues arc sought and
the quickness with which offerings are sold.
In view ot th profitable terms at whlca
bankers are securing these note Issues a mo
tive Is perceptible for them to refrain from
making easy the way for marketing aecurl
tle. t
Money conditions continued to work easier.
Rates for time loans here yielded notably
ana were quote! practically for all periods
4 per cent lower. The Bank or nsland and
the Bank of france showed a. further
strengthening opposition and discount rate at
Berlin Yielded further during the day. The
presence of the Secretary ot the Treasury 1"
Wall street afforded opportunity Tor a de
nial of rumors circulated yesterday that a
mrincr postponement was intended of the
date for return of Government deponits to the
Treasury beyond Februar- 1. to which It baa
bfn ilvcnccl already. TT Is may have .c-
unted for the easing of prices late in the
day, although the market was Impressible to
the profit -taking on the day's movement In
the narrow limrtfloriH of the trattins. Oall
mon-- hardene,1. perceptibly when th in
tended policy of the Treasury Department be-
came known. Net changes frere very small at

Advance in the" Wheat Market
Cannot Be Maintained.
CHICAGO PRICES LOWER
Although the News of the Day Favors
the Balls Values Become
Decidedly Weak on Gen ;
erl Realizing.
CHICAGO. Jan. 24. The local wheat mar
ket was weakened today by general raMiir.
Trading waa again of large proportions, im
mediately after the opening the market showed
some strength, because of a eharp advance at
Liverpool and ma)l receipts at Minneapolis
and Iuluth. Tne demand shrank - rapidly.
however, when- the numerous buying orders
which had been placed over night were filled.
Selltng became more general as trading pro
greeserl and toward the end of the session the
market became -decidedly weak. Th news
of the day favored tho. bulla. The market
closed weak, with Vrlcea near the lowest
point of the day.' May--opened fS ic to c
hiRher at 79AC to c. ol.1 off to TSr
78Hc and closed c down at 78x78-
Th corn market wa uleo weakened by
general realising to- secure profttu. The
weakness of wheat and corn had little effect
on the pats market, which was firm on buying;
by a leading bull. Trading In provision) was
quiet.
Leading futures ranged as follows;
. wheat. ,
Open. Hiprh. . Low.
Close.

the cheeKa the bright red flush of health and

To me -resident of Orefron for two aea-
on the cold wave came aie a frreat boon.
and the feeling- of depression I had been ex-

wet, sorgy, damp weRther well, It certainly
is not attractive to me in any way, or to a
large percentage of thoee who come from the
Northern states to the east. The cold weather
makes people hardy and strong in the colder
countries, snd Is generally welcomed b
strangers wio come to Oregon, if it is nnt by
those who are hrouttht up In this climate.
Perhaps If they should live in a cold climate

they ..would realize that the contention of

PORTLAND. Jan. 24. (To the Editor.)-The
I graduated la.id tax an proposed by a corres-
pondent in The Orefronlan ree-Lly, a a
( remedy for the evil rceuUing trom the land
1 monopoly of which he .speafcs. would certainly
In a measure correct thoae evils. The wtnie
ayetem was adopted in the- New Zealand ab'iM
13 year a so. with exi.-el lent rt-MUlts. IttrKO
riolUingij of lund nav broken up and a U;go
amount of land that wa held out of use wa
ciwned up for settlement. Thl la the principal
cause of New Zrttlaml'ti cor.tlnut-rl proHpt-rlty.
but whllr tills fyatero Us to be commended It la
not the ideal one.
It rnaheu no especial difference to the land
less man. whether the land U owned by one
or one million men. To him. any form of land
ownershlo la monopoly. I f private t w n cmh 1 1
of land can be defended from a standpoint or
justice, then we have no more rlsjht to Inter
fere with largo holding than with (.mall ones.
But It cannot be so defended, and t hi is the
raon why RraduatH land taxes are prorxifayl,
and also why the i riffle tax. a proposition to
raise aij revenue from a tax on land accord
ing to value. Ik pronoet'd If the value that
attaches to land doe so as the result of'in
illvldual "ffort. then thi Individual Is eotttlt-l
to such value. But If land value, are Siot thu
result of individual effort, but are solely com
munity value, contributed to by all. then th
Individual has no rtirht to appropriate them,
whether larne or small.
The vacant lot industry-Is the chief Indus-
try In Seattle. Lant values have increased
there during the past year over 100 per cent.
Manufacturing concerns have bern driven away
