All Shipping Potatoes Likely to
Be Disposed Of.
CALIFORNIA MARKET GOOD
Receipts of Mohair Light and .Prices
Firm Strawberries Arrive From
Florida Egs Again Ad
va nee a Fract ion.
"With the recent improvement In the po
tato situation, the prospects have grown
better - for a cleaning up of the surplus
stock In this state before the season Is
over. The California demand is of first-class
proportions and large shipments are being
made southward by rail. The movement
would be even freer if cars were as easy
to secure as was the case a short time ago.
Farmers are offering choice stock readily
and most of this is being bought up around
' the dollar mark. Strictly fancy potatoes are
in very limited supply, only a few lots be
ing available in the Gresham district. Ship
pers are offering up to 9 1.40 for this qual
ity, but most of the holders are hanging
back awaiting better prices. The trade does
not look for much of an advance, if any.
and declare that if prices should go higher,
the California market would again be
swamped with Eastern stock.
The San Francisco Call of Saturday said
of the potato situation there:
There were light receipts of potatoes dur
ing the week Just ended, and with the
daily buying of the usual good proportions
dealers were enabled to effect a marked di
minution in the accumulation of old stock,
which had been carried over from the pre
ceding week. The close was quite steady.
there being an undercurrent of firmness in
all table goods, and prices for Eastern and
Oregon Burbanks showed some improve'
went, top quality lots of both being well
cleaned up. Good, sound, onions were in
demand and readily commanded a slight
advance, while off lots were very slow of
lale at low and irregular rates.
MVTIT AND SONOMA KGG MEN.
poultrymen Dissatisfied With Way Company
In Acting.
Swift is not finding it an easy matter to
corner the egg supply of California and has
already run afoul of the Petaluraa farmers
on the price question. The Santa Rosa Re
publican says:
If Swift & Co. expect to maintain their
contract with the Sonoma County Co-Operative
Poultry Association, they will have to
change their tactics and convince the mem
hers they are acting in good faith. Many
members are dissatisfied with the recent
actions of the firm when they paid but 20
. tenia per aozen lor eggs on days when the
quotations were higher. Later the firm. sent
checks covering the difference, but there
are members who believe this was done to
appease the wrath of the association.
It was the opinion of speakers at the
meeting Saturday that Swift & Co. desire
to take advantage of the members, ' that
they do not Intend to pay tho top quota
tions unless they are forced to do so, and
that the recent "rebates" sent out were
imply to hold their contract. One speaker
rhargod that tho Arm "violated their con
tract whenever they dared." The members
insist on getting "'top" quotations, as called
for in their contract, and if Swift & Co.
want to be "the eggs" they must come to
the front and center.
The matter has been left In the hands of
the board of directors and Manager Pat
terson will hear some plain talk regarding
the matter. '
STRAWBERRIES COME FROM FLORIDA
Flret Crate of the Season Brings 98 on
Front Street.
The first shipment of strawberries of the
season arrived yesterday. They came from
Florida and consisted of a single crate of
24 pounds. The crate brought $S.
The orange market was very firm. The,
local supply was short, especially on sizes,
said top prices were easily realized. A car
of Eastern Oregon apples was added to the
already large supply on the street.
The car of chilled bananas, which was
sold by the railroad company Monday was
bought by hawkers. When they found the
margin between their offer and the next
highest was $117. the bargain did not look
o good to them.
Green produce cleaned up well and noth
ing but some delayed express lots came In
from California. Walla Walla spinach Is ar
riving and brings $1.20 per box. Local rhu
barb has made its appearance.
LOCAL BCXrNG OF EGGS RESCMED.
Receipts Are Lighter and the Market Shows
More Firmness. .
For the first time since eggs became plenti
ful, local buying has become a factor in the
Front-street trade. Up to the present, the
retailers have had supplies of their bwn
and the Jobbers were compelled to find an
outside market, but now there is a city
trade to take care of, and this, with the
shipping Inquiry, has caused a firm mar
ket. Receipts have also decreased.
The demand for chickens is not as keen
as it was, due partly to the poor quality of
most of the offerings. Small broilers and fry
ers sell well, but are not plentiful. There is
some Inquiry for ducks, but turkeys are neg
lected. The season for geese is past.
A slight but steady Increase is noted In
receipts of butter and cream, but not enough
to make any impression on the demand, and
arrivals twice as heavy would not cause
special, weakness. The present prices may
hold good for a month yet.
MOHAIR POOL SALE AT LEBANON.
First Selling Date Announced for the Cur
rent Season.
Tho lirdt date announced for a pool sale
of mohair is April 12, when about 3000
fleeces will be offered to the highest bidder
at Lebanon. At Dallas. McMlnnville and
other points where mohair accumulates,
preparations are being made to pool the
product.
The stormy weather has interrupted
shearing operations and only small quanti
ties of mohair are now coming into this
market. The demand is good and prices
are firm at SS9ivc.

HMD 'IS STILL ON
Stock Market Again Breaks
Away From Control.
WEAKNESS PROVES ACUTE
Accounts Supposed to Be Strongly
Held Are Liquidated, Giving
Rise to Rumors of Finan-
cial Embarrassment.
NEW YORK, March 19. Today's nervous
stock market was regarded as a natural con
sequence of the demoralization of last week,
but weakness and uneasiness were much more
acute than was expected and gave rise to
fears at times that the market was breaking
away from control again and slipping back
Into frenzied conditions. There are always
some strongly-held accounts, which' are held
through a slump like that of last week and
are protected in a spirit of assurance that
they can be closed out' to better advantage
by waiting for 4 he frightened selling of weak
er holders to be ended. The strength of these
accounts Js Impaired, nevertheless, to such an
extent that they are subject to pressure .by
brokers or bankers or others concerned In
helping to carry them to be closed out at the
first opportunity. Such a reaction as that of
yesterday following the reduction of the un
covered short account, adds to the weakness
of these h eld-over bull accounts and to the
urgency for closing them out.
The selling during the fdret hour today
arouaed the suspicion that a very large account
of this kind "was being forced to liquidation
without regard to the ability of the market
to abaorb the heavy offeringa. The identity
of the account was not disoloeed, but rumors
became very explicit of an embarrassment.
A good deal of anxiety was expressed also
over the money situation.' It was somewhat
remarkable that this anxiety was fostered by
the persistent abstemtion of New York bank
ers from withdrawing gold from fo.-elgn mar
kets. The seemingly heavy sacri'.ices which
are be ley made in the New York stock mar
ket for lack of credit facilities, which the
foreign exchange markets Indicate a power
to secure, gives rise to the vague fear that
something worse than the New York stock
market condition is feared if demands for
gold should be forced on foreign markets.
Cables were circulated In Wail street today
that the Bank of France was lending gold to
the Bank of England, that the English bank
authorities had requested New York bankers
to refrain from bidding for gold In the Lon
don market and that Berlin was liquidating
securities In London on a large scale. At the
same time money and discount rates were
easier in London.
Money on call here showed further relaxa
tion, and- the advance to a premium of New
York exchange at Chicago indicated the pro
cess of remittance from that center to- this.
Foreign exchange was weak In spite of the
reported troubles of foreign money markets.
The easier tendency extended to the time
money markets here, rates for which were
notably lower. The operations with the Sub-
Treasury are showing gains to the banke. The
further liquidation In the stock market Is a
relief to the money market also.
Another factor in the day's unea&lness came
from the news, given out by prominent capi
talists In their new accessibility to newspapers.
These Intimations, though conveyed in vague
form, were interpreted as evidence of rancor
among different groups of capitalists. In
sinuations that the stock market had been
raided as a measure of reprisal by one group
of capitalists having a grievance against an
other found, a place In eome of the quoted
utterances published In wall street news chan
nels. The unsettled market continued through
out and the closing was Irregular, although at
substantia! recoveries from the lowest levels.
Bonds were weak. Total eelee, par value.
$1,842, UOO. United States bonds were un
changed on call. ,

Prices.
CHICAGO, March 19. May wheat closed
c higher; corn. c higher, and oats.
14t hlcrher. Provisions vem 1214c to 15c
lower. y1
Wheat manifested a moderate degree of
weakness at the opening on selling by pit
traders and liberal receipts. Before the end
of the first hour, however, the market had
regained all of the early loss and sentiment
became more bullish. While numerous dam
age reports were received, there were also
many advices that the Fall sown crop is
generally In good condition. The market
derived its strength chiefly from the ad
vance In the price of corn and oats. May
wheat opened c to "4 c lower at 75
75 c, advanced to 76a and closed at 75 9
76c.
Aggressive buying, due to the fear that
the crop movement will soon decrease,
caused decided strength In the corn market.
May corn opened unchanged to c higher at
45845c, advanced to 4646o and
closed at the top.
May oats advanced more than a cent be
cause of an urgent demand by bull leaders.
The more distant futures, however, were in
clined to drag because of reports that deed
ing has been started In portions of Illinois
under favorable conditions. An advance of
'c to lc In the price of cash grain strength
ened the options. May opened c to c
higher at 40 c to 40c, advanced to 41c
and closed there.
Provisions were firm early in the day be
cause of a 5c advance in the price of live
hogs. The hog market weakened later and
provisions also declined. At the close. May
pork was off 12 c, lard was down 12 e
and ribs were 12 15c lower.

LOSSES OF EXCLUSIVE SETS
reople of the "400 Lose Halt the
Joys of Living.
CHICAGO, March 19. Professor Charles
Zueblin, of the University of Chicago,
yesterday told the members of the League
of Religious Fellowship that one cannot
belong to the "four hundred" without
losing half the joy of living. He said It
is Impossible for the Individual to be
come a member of any exclusive set with
out finding himself a loser when, In the
end, he takes account of his assets.
"They don't get anything out of life,"
said Professor Zueblin.
"Their perspective Is narrow; they have
only a small circle of friends, and they
are constantly meeting the same faces.
They Intermarry and intermarry with tho
result that finally their children are
marked In the same way that the children
of aristocracy are marked they are with
out vigor, without purpose, without ambi
tion." Professor Zueblin also declared that
those of the so-called exclusive set who
refuse to recognize those outside of their
set do so because they are afraid to know
people in the other classes.
"They feel the insecurity of their posi
tions in their own class, and hence are
afraid of losing their position if they as
sociate with people outside of their class,"
he said. "The really big people are never
afraid of losing anything by mingling
with all classes. One can measure the
real stature of a woman by her Inter
ests." Professor Zueblin declared that one of
the social needs of the hour is a greater
approach to economic equality. He urged
that this economic equality should ex
tend to the family.
"The wife who Is economically Inde
pendent," he said, "Is the more respected
by her husband."
CLEW TO KIDNAPED BOY
Mysterious Stranger In Erie Raises
Hope Marvin Is Found.
ERIE, Pa March 19. The police au
thorities admitted today that the 4-year-old
son of Dr. Marvin, who disappeared
March ' 4, from Dover, Del., was in this
city or vicinity, but refused to give any
further Information.
An unidentified passenger alighted from
the Buffalo Express here today and Im
mediately went to police headquarters,
where he was closeted several hours with
Captain Detzel. Nothing could be learned
of the nature of the conference, but it
was said that the stranger was sent
here from Buffalo to ascertain the acts of
the reported finding of the missing;
Marvin boy.
The report that young Marvin had been
located In Erie gained currency yesterday,
when an unknown man called on Chief
of Police Wagner and asked for a photo
graph or a circular sent out after the
boy's disappearance and- after studying
it, said he believed he had a good clue
to the whereabouts of the boy. Nothing
has since been heard of the stranger.
Father Hardly Dares Hope.
DOVER, Del., March 19. Dr. Horace N.
Marvin, whose 4-year-old son disappeared
March 4, had an early morning interview
with private detectives regarding the in
formation received from Brie, Pa., that
the missing boy may be In that city.
Dr. Marvin said today: "I have been dis
appointed so much that I do not know
what to say about the Erie informa
tion. It may turn out another disappoint
ment. I have to guard language to the
newspapers, although I realize that the
press of the country Is doing more for
me than any other agency."

Book to Cost $1C5 a. Copy.
LONDOX, March 19. The Hon. Lionel
Walter Rothschild Is soon to bring out
one of the costliest books on record. It
will be issued by the Hutchlnsons. The
book deals with extinct birds. The au
thor, whose private natural history mu
seum at Tring Park. Hertfordshire, la
world-famous, has spent About $100,000
upon the book, and the Hutchlnsons have
spent more than $5000 for engraving
blocks alone. Mr. Rothschild wishes the
work to endure for all the time, being
of the belief that the subject will never
be taken up again. The firm of publishers
have been experimenting to obtain an
imperishable paper.
It Is said Hutchlnsons have now suc
ceeded practically in tois. The paper
costs but 36 cents a pound. Only 300 cop
ies of the English edition of the work
will be printed. The price will be $125 a
copy. Foreign editions will be printed
later.
A Gold Coast newspaper, recording a
funeral, says the body "was followed, by a
concourse of sympathizing friends. Mr. Rlney
Hooper's band headed the procession. Our
condolence with the bereaved relatives."
