THE MORXING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1907.
17
T
Front-Street Market Is Split
Wide Open.
SUPPLY PROVES TOO BIG
Buyers, Both in tho City and Coun
try, Operate Very Cautiously.
Prices Range From 12 1-2
to 17 1-2 Cents a Pound.
The Thankspivlng turkey market li turn
ing out a dismal failure except from a con
sumer's standpoint. It did not look very
good to the trade at any time and yester
day their worst fears were realized. Re
ceipts were on an enormous scale, tho de
mand was anj-thing but satisfactory, and as
a result the market was split wide open.
Oldtimers on the street said it was the
worst slump they had any memory of.
A record-breaking crop and excessive
conservation on the part of buyers, due to
the prevailing financial conditions, are tho
cause of the trouble. The receipts to dato
are estimated to be 20 per cent larger than
last year's, one firm alone receiving; close
to 10.000 turkeys. City buyers so far have
bought very cautiously and none of them
proposes to be caught after the holiday with
any turkeys on hand. The out-of-town de
mand Is also less than In former years,
many buyers who heretofore secured their
supplies in Portland, getting them this year
from the county direct. A 15-ton lot from
Douglas County was transferred yesterday
afternoon by the Wells Fargo Company to
the Northern Pacific Express, consigned to
Seattle, and other smaller express shipments
went through bound for the North.
To quote actual values Is difficult. Soma
sales were made in the forenoon at 17 cents
and a very few at half a cent better. In tha
afternoon sales were made at 15 to 10 cents
and one large handler offered to clean up
his entire stock at 15 cents. A large un
assorted lot on the street went at 1" cents
end a wholesale grocer disposed of a big
block, not so good, at 13 cents. A shipment
of 10 00 birds at the depot was disposed of
at 14 cents flat. Culls sold at a variety of
prices ranging from 12 4 to 14 cents. For
the better run of offerings the prevailing
price may he quoted as 15 to 17 cents.
Today should be the big day for retail
buying, but few of the Jobbers have hopes
of being able to clean up.
As to the quality of the turkeys this
year, the general opinion Is that It is better
than last year's crop.
HOPS GO OlT ON CONSIGNMENT.
Heavy Shipments to Be Made to London
and New York.
The buying flurry in the hop market seems
to have passed over for the time being.
No new business was reported from tho
country yesterday.
In the meantime, consignment propositions
re blng worked vigorously In various sec
tions. In some of which advances are being
made. In others none. It is said Williams,
of Dallas, has shipped ten carloads of con
signments, and about 500 bales have been
consigned from the Newberg section. All
these hops go to London. A consignment
pool Is being mnde up in the North Yamhill
srctlon, where 500 bales have already been
pledged, and It Is likely that 1000 bales
altogether will be secured, which will be
consigned to the Eastern markets.
Sale of Oregon and Palouse Barley.
"Talk about hard times," said William
Harder, general agent for the Great North
ern, yesterday. "Here are advices telling
us that St. Paul and Minneapolis buyers
hava purchased Oregon and Palouse barley
In the following lots: 20.000 bushels, 00000
bushels. 22,000 bushels and 52,000 bushels.
This grain Is to go East for malting pur
poses, and a part Is to be delivered In the
East early In December, and the remainder
before January L This Is one of the com
modities the Pacific Northwest has for sale
that Is going to bring money to this sec
tion of the country in large quantities."
Butter Market in Good Condition.
A healthy tone prevails In the butter
market. Tho supply and demand are run
ning about equal, and Front street has
entirely cleaned up the surplus that hung
over It last week. Any inclination to raise
the price now would probably be prevented
by he easier feeling in the Eastern market.
Eggs continue active, with Oregon ranch
sggs In very limited supply.
Aside from turkeys, there was not much
Interest In the poultry market yesterday.
A fair supply of chickens, ducks and geese
was on hand, and prices were steady.
Fruit and Vegetables In Demand.
There was an active demand for fruit and
vegetables of all kinds yesterday, which
gave Front street the appearance usual In
normal times. Aside from two cars of
sweet potatoes, not much produce came In.
The street was practically bare of bananas,
and It does not look now as If the four cars
that are due will be here before Thanks
giving. A mixed car of oranges and grape
fruit will be In today.
Wheat Unlet and Steady.
The local wheat market was quiet yes
terday, with a steady undertone. Exporters
are not buying much, as they report the
foreign demand slow. At the same time,
Tarmers are not much disposed to sell now,
believing prices will be better later.
Bunk Clearings.
Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes
terday were as follows;

ADVANCES TOO SOON
Rise in Stock Prices Regarded
as Premature.
BANKS NOT READY FOR IT
Urgent Liquidation In Some of the
Active Issues Unsettles the En
tire I.i-t General Financial
Situation Is Better.
NEW YORK. Nov. 25. The stock market
showed no disposition at any time today to
follow up the advance of Saturday. The
movement seemed to be Ul-advlsed. on sec
ond thought, on the ground that a resump
tion of an active advance in stocks would
be premature before the banking operations
of the country have been restored to normal.
An early resumption of cash payments by
the banks all over the 'country Is now
looked for with gTowing confidence, but the
conditions which this resumption may dis
close must be awaited before seeking to en
ter on speculative commitments. There was
a renewal also of some of the urgent liqui
dation in special stocks which was Buch
an unsettling factor In the whole market
last week. The selling out of loans was the
accepted explanation of the weakness, which
was pronounced In Missouri Pacific. It was
thought that the weakness of this stock
might owe something also to the change in
personal relationships Involved in the work
ing out of contests for control of related
railroad properties. Dividend possibilities
also came Inevitably Into the diBcusslon, be
cause of the wide decline In that stock.
The whole list of railroad stocks was
more or less affected by this consideration,
which was given fresh force by the con
tents of the regular weekly reports from
railroad traffic officials. These were quite
uniform In the admission that areas of rail
road traffic were worked off or were being
rapidly cleared up and that Idle freight cars
were accumulating. Published estimates of
the extent to which working forces had been
cut down in Industrial enterprises made a
formidable showing and. coupled with the
heavy outward tide of returning foreigners,
pointing to the same conclusion, had a rath
er depressing effect upon sentiment. On the
other side of the account was a strong ad
vance in copper In London and New York.
Attention was attracted also by reports of
the large number of revocations of orders in
various lines of wholesale trade.
Saturday's large gold arrivals were added
to by subsequent arrivals. All of the day's
arrivals of gold In the London market were
taken for New York account, but with so
little disturbance in that market that the
gold was allowed to go at a sharp reces
sion In the price. The accretion of gold to
the Bank of England reserve from other
sources went on and that institution re
leased $5,000,000 of gold to the open market
that had been "ear-marked," or held apart
for the account of the India Council. Money
was appreciably easier today.
The stock market remained unaffected by
the manifest Improvement In the banking
position and the condition of the circulation,
and prices declined without much interrup
tion from start to finish.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,940,000. United States bonds un
changed on call.

MYSTERY OF DEAD WOMAN
Murderess and Suicide Said She Was
Bulkley's Daughter.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Tho mystery
which surrounds Mrs. Nicholas M.
Smith, who on Saturday killed her hus
bard, set Are to her home in New
Rochelle and then committed suicide, is
no nearer solution. In fact, It stead
ily increases. For 20 years the woman
claimed she was Grace Bulkley, of
Connecticut, and all her friends be
lieved her atory. She even went so far
as to tell them she had been married
to David Van Shaak. who afterwards
died. The real Grace Bulkley is alive,
so also Is Van Shaak.
Medhurst, Mrs. Smith's first husband,
says he married her in 1891, and then
she told him site was Grace Bulkley.
"She was tho most beautiful girl I
ever saw," he said. "I don't think she
was more than 17 years old, and had
been in the city for some time. After
we were married and went to live in
Eighth avenue, near Fifty-seventh
street, she told me the story of her
life. She said she was the daughter of
Lieutenarrt-Governor W. H. Bulkley, of
Hartford, Conn., and that she had fal
len In love with a New York City trav
elingman, who Induced her to run away
with him. They came to New York and
telegraphed her father that they were
married. The Bulkleys promptly dis
owned her, adopted a cousin from a
large Bulkley family in Connecticut,
and proceeded to forget that she ever
lived. The cousin had the same name
as herself."
In 1892 Medhurst divorced his young
wife and immediately lost trace of her.
TAFT HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Train Saved From Open Switch on

KRASNOYARSK. Russian Siberia,
Nov. 25. It was learned here today that
the train on which Secretary William H.
Taft and his party are traveling over
the trans-Siberian Railroad from Vladi

from being wrecked yesterday at Chita.
A switch in front of the Taft train be
came open when it should have been
shut, but an employe discovered this one
minute before the train came along,
closed the switch and kept it on the prop
er rails. Had the train been thrown Into
the siding it would have crashed into a
number of freight cars.

TWO SOCIALIST LETTERS
Some Attempts to Tell What Social
ism Would Do, If It Could.
PORTLAND. Nov. 25. (To the Editor.)
Father Gregory must have got his knowl
edge of Socialism from addresses such as
are heard at a place on Davis street, but
before he comes before the people pro
claiming his ideas to be Socialism, he ought
to read up a little and get Into the spirit
of Socialism. Then he would not slander
good, honest and Intelligent men by putting
his Ideas of Socialism before the people as
theirs.
Socialism Is the opposite of egoism, just aa
love Is the opposite of hate no more, no
less. It requires a certain amount of egoism
to exist, to go through life and enjoy it,
but every good man enjoys life most If he
can mix a great deal of Socialism with his
egoism. Be social.
Aa tor the German Socialistic party. It
has a mission that Father Gregory does not
know anything about. If he wants to
know, let him studv their late literature, and
he will find that their chief aim la to first
destroy that curse of God: "In the sweat of
thy brow thou shalt eat thy bread." and
in Its place make it a duty for every man
or woman to perform useful labor, mental
or manual, and after he has done this to
secure him the right to a fair share of the
fruits of his labor.
Every Intelligent Socialist knows that
man Is not alike In mental or manual power
and willingness to labor, and that It would
be unnatural to ask the leader of an enter
prise to share alike with the follower. They
have read history too well not to know that
the strongest and most Intelligent must be
the leaders.
But the same history has told them that
a nation of masters and slaves or servants
cannot endure. It Is the free men that
make a nation powerful and progressive,
and the more any nation has of those, the
more powerful It will be. Socialism, there
fore, tries as much as possible to work
ngalnst this servile spirit, the same spirit
that made the Children of Israel sigh after
the fleshpots of Egypt. Karl Marx. Ferdi
nand Lasselle and Bernstein are, or were,
keen-witted, hot-headed Hebrews, and an In
telligent person who may read their writings
will so understand. There Is no man In
fallible. We are all liable to make errors
even Father Gregory.
Socialism denies the existence of a God.
What God? President Roosvelt got himself
In a little trouble by omitting the words
"In God We Trust" from the coins of tho
I'nlted States. He might have put a sen
tence on the coins which nobody could slur
at or use with levity. "In the good we
trust" the good that is In man, the good
that Is In Nature, and that Is all the good
we know of.
"Socialism will destroy the Government,
savs Father Gregory- Nothing of the kind.
Because the ideals underlying the Govern
ment of the I'nlted States are truly Social
istic and as long as these Ideals are upheld,
the Government of the fnlted Statos will
grow better and more powerfud. For In
stance, right now If the Government had
done Its duty. It would have made money
for the people as It started to do and par
tially does yet. by coining metal money. In
stead of delegating Its power to Individuals
called bankers to make paper money and
reap therefrom considerable profit. And It
would also give the people a safe place
where they can accumulate their money
without taking It out of circulation, so that
the poorer class of saving people would not
suffer so much under these financial panics.
They would not come in contact with high
financiers. Other governments do it. Why
not ours?
Wake the people up. Father Gregory.
There Is a mission for you to perform. The
patriotism of the German Socialistic party
was attested to in their last Congress at
Stuttgart, when they decl.ired themselves
to the last man to be. first Germans and
after that International Socialists.
But It Is not this that makes men like
Father Gregory afraid of Socialism. . Their
fear Is that If Socialism gets the better of
egoism, they will have to work, and their
attitude reminds me of a picture I have
seen on the billboards In this city serving
for a soap advertisement, where a woman
leads a struggling boy to the waahstand and
gives him a good scrubbing. The boy will
be a great deal better off for tho scrubbing
he gets, healthier and cleaner. So with
those people who shirk work. A little man
ual labor does not hurt: Just the opposite.
They will be better men for It morally,
mentally and physically. The German
poet struck the keynote of civilisation when
he said that the highest attribute of man
was that he felt in his innermost heart
what he created with his hands.
WILLIAM ISENSBE.
PORTLAND, Nov. 25. (To the Editor.)
What an unconscious hit of satire It Is that
"unrestrained by religion the greedy eye
looks at the savings of the thrifty."
"It's to laugh" when one thinks of many
professing ones who. with the faulty eye and
the grasping hand as well, have "done" the
widow and orphan more than one wrong.
Socialism's principle, the good of all. and
basis, collective ownership. Instill and pro
mote the growth and practice of the com
mand "Love one another." Socialism asserts
that private ownership of one's means of
living is wrong and hurtful. It certainly
adds to "the ever-Increasing uncertainty of
livelihood." Socialism Is simply owner
ship of the means, by all. The right to par
ticipate Is all there Is to their "nationaliza
tion." All values will be in common but owned
only In proportion to labor-worth, each hav
ing his own; all wealth being the people's.
By this power Socialists would assume and
assert the function of government, the right
to run their own business, the bugbear of
"state authority." All value is labor, hand
or head, as use or product, the commodity
worth of which is socially set as to time, use
or need. and Is standard. "Untenable
evasions" and subterfuge answer Its philoso
phy of materialism and surplus doctrine.
Socialism leaves religion to those who
desire it. perhaps need It as now. It blesses
and protects the family by possible pro
vision for them. It places woman on the
highest pedestal of honor and respects her
w manhood, by which power she will hold a
place higher than ever. Its ethics are the
best In the world, being brotherly love and
goodwill toward one another and the prac
tice of doing as we would be done by. It
will bring about a state of society where
crime would be only the nightmare of time,
and religion bo remembered by the horror of
Its hell and the evil of Its devil.
Socialism's faith means man'a possible
higher and better plan of living and hu
manlty It believes In the inner and higher
evolution of the spirit that must be "born
again" It frees man from the sordid re
straint of life's grasping and awakens his
best nature. It gives to every one the
means as well as the right to live, as much
a need aa birth. In determination of this
spirit and hope of its glorious promise. So
cialism will wage the battle of Industrial
freedom against the sneers and snubs of
those It would help.
