THK 3IOTIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 3. 1908. 15 " B UTTER MAR KETO FF Local Prices Down 21-2 Cents a Pound. ALL BRANDS ARE AFFECTED Mump in the San Francis- Market Is the Cause of the Decline. Production on the Increase. The f irmnafii that was apparent tn th butter market last week gave way to weakness yeterday and price dropped 2 rents alt amund. This brought the city creameries down to the 35-cent level. A few Outside brands were quoted at the same price and others at 32', and 30 cents. The direct cauN of tiie decline was the lump that has taken place in butter prices at Kan Francisco, that market going a low as 2T and cents. California butter has been offered here at these low prices, though It is not known that any has been ordered, though It is said a considerable quantity has been taken by Seattle buyers. The result has been that orders from the north for Oregon butter have been cut off and a reduction in local prices was in evitable. Quotations in thts market would soon have declined anyway, as the production has begun to Increase, and from now on will grow steadily. The high butter prices of the current season are a thing of the past and any changes that take place In the future will be declines. HOP TRACERS ARK IlfTOl RAt.KD. . tan Pee No Proniir-e of Improvement In Future. The hop trade takes a gloomy view of the future aa It la practically impossible to sell hops in the East and their Eastern advices have to do with little besides the spread of trie prohibition sentiment. Added to this Is the news from England of the progress being made by the advocates of the licensing bill, which, if successful, will destroy the only market for the surplus of the American crop. No hope is held out of a bettering of conditions, and in all quarters of the trade the belief is ex pressed that the 1008 eeason will be an unsatisfactory one. The only thing that can cause an Improvement wilt be a light yield in all the American hop states. No general steps are being taken, however, to cut down production, but this will have to be done before prices will be on a paying basis. , The only transaction reported in the local market yesterday was the purchase by Ernest Wells from Chester Murphy of 18 bales of 1907a and 30 bales of olds. Things are no better in New York state than here; according to the Morrisvllle Leader, which says: "The outlook tor the hop Industry at present Is not at all bright and it is predicted that at least one-fourth nf the already reduced acreage will be plowed up the coming Spring. There were many growths produced last Fall that lack quality and which still remain In the grow ers' kllne and cannot be marketed at any price. From 10 to 11 cents Is about all a prime article will eell for at present." PRUNE KFOC'KB IN EAST ARE SMALL. Active Demnnd for Oregon Product la' cooked for boon. ' SALEM. Or.. March 2. (Special.) That tor-k of prunes tn the hand of Ka stern jobbers are getting low and there will soon be an active demand for this Oregon product is the opinion of W. C. THIson, proprietor of one of the largp parking establishments In this city. Though the market has been Inactive frr some time, owing to the finan cial stringency, Mr. THIson says that job bers are again taking an Interest and are Inquiring for prices. While one or two holders of small lots of prunes have offered them recently at a S'-cent basis, and have thus made It appear that prunes can be bought at that price, both the THIson Jom jmny and the Willamette Valley Prune As sociation, which together hold 80 per cent of all the prunes In the state, assert that they have offered nothing- at lees than a 3-cent basis. They lelteve the situation Justifies holding for that price, as condi tions are rertaln to Improre. Speaking of the situation today. Mr. TIllRon said: "Cable advices from Europe and tele grams from New York during the past few days Indicate that the stork is rapidly cleaning uj; that the situation is much firfner and they are asking for prices on stock In large blocks. "1 believe that the low price named during- the past SO days have been unwar ranted and have only been named because of the pressing necessities of either some of the smaller packers or the growers. We understand that the two principal packers of Oregon rontrol today So to ;i per cent of the unttold stock and at no time during the recent depression have they sacrificed goods or felt at all alarmed as to the ulti mate outcome. They are today holding their goods at prices commenaurate with the value of the stork and trade require ments and it is encouraging to note that the market Is refunding to their efforts in their own behalf and that of the growers. 'We heJieve that the recent low prices were unnecessary so far as supply and de mand are concerned, as with the exception of New York, where most of the rejections occurred, - s-tocks have been extremely light so liRht that the largest jobbers East have i-n!r" bought as they have been obliged to have the goods to supply their demand and they are now appreciating the fact that they have got to buy quickly If they want to get any stock, for with the total hold Inrs In the state estimated at less than HO rwrs. and at least six months' of active con sumption, with May and June considered the beet of the entire year. Oregon and Washing-ton prunes, even at toda's prices, are among the cheapest food products ob tainable. POTATOES FOR THK BATTLESHIPS Big Government Order May Be Killed In Oregon. There is a possiblity that the Government order for 21 cars of i-otatoes for the bat tleship fleet will be filled in Oregon. The bids were opened at Han Francisco yester day and the lowest bid was $1.03. The po tatoes are to be delivered at San Diego and the specifications call for a quality that can only be secured at Watsonvllle or In Oregon. Neither thts order nor the larger order that will later be placed for delivery at Pan Francisco are likely to have effect on the market, owing to the largo available supply of potatoes on the Coast. The onii n market was quiet yesterday. Pome growers sold in a small way at $2. 50 and buyers were willing to pay this price, but would go no higher. A direct ship ment of soo sacks of Japanese onions reached San Francisco yesterday and 300 acks are due in Portland this week on the Oriental liner. Potatoes and Butter Imp at T aroma. TACOM A. Wash.. March 2 . (Special.) One of the commission- merchants w-as to day jobbir g .No. 1 White River potatoes at $15 a ton. w hlch is the lowest price quoted this season. Potatoes grown around Koy have dropped from $10. 1.0 to $10 a ton. There has been no change In the Yakima potato market. Eastern potatoes are jobbing at all the way from 1S to $1S a ton. Butter took th big slump that dealers tnid It would When the market opened today. Washington creamery was being of fered at cents a pound, which w as 3 cents under Saturday's quotation. Eastern Creamery storsge butter dropped from 270 29 cents to cents a pound, and Oregon butter from C.j 37 cents to St cents. Opening of the Board of Trade, The commercial exchange department of the Board of Trade did not open for busi ness yesterday as w as expect -d, as the caipentcrs and painters engaged in fitting up the place had not finished their work. No date can be fixed yet for the first sa- aion. but It is likely that everything will be ready for business about the middle of the week.

OFFERINGS ARE LIGHT Buying by Shorts Causes Advance in Prices Unfavorable News Dis . counted Time-Money ' Mar- ket Is Easier. NEW YORK. March 2. The slender ag gregate of business In stocks today was mostly done during the first hour's session of the stock exchange. The professional operators, thought they saw an opportunity of extending the decline which was in force when the market left off Saturday, availing themselves of the complexion of reports of condition from various branches of business. The event disproved the as sumption and again disclosed the Insignifi cant proportions of the market. When op erators short of stocks attempted to oper ate on what they conceived to be unfavor able developments, they found no offerings rortncoming. Their buying operations con sequently advanced prices. When the announcement was made that the dividend on American Smelting had been cut from an 8 per cent to a 4 per cent basis that stock rallied from its early depression to a level over Saturday's price, tending to show the agility of practiced traders In anticipating the event. The re sumption of operations in the Montana min ing camp was a factor of positive strength and came as confirmation of assertions last week regarding which there was more or less skepticism. The resuonee of stocks affected was, however, moderate. This was" partly due to the modifying effect on senti ment of the fall in the price of copper again today, both here and in London. The resumption of operations in the Butte re gion was avowedly based on the expecta tion of future renewal of demand for the metal, rather than on any actual absorptive power of the present demand. Railroad traffic of officials, however, spoke in Jess hopeful strain over future in dications for business than has been the rule with them, even through the worst of the depression. The gross decreases of Pennsylvania lines directly operated, of over $2,000,000 for January, was held down to a net decrease of $.RO0. The Southern Railway system, considered to be at a dis advantage in its opportunities for retrench ment, showed a net decrease for January of only $2.10.534. where the decline' In gross earnings rsn to $000,021. This tendenry was regarded as of favorable augury for security holders. Reports of drastic meas ure of curtailment of expenses on the Gould system, however, did not prevent evidence of weakness In some of that group. The disallowance of the legality of the Erie scrip dividend had evidently been dis counted. The time money market here showed an easier tendency. Attention was attracted hv the compilation made by the Journal of Commerce of new corporate Issuer for Feb ruary, the total of less than $sn.0no.ooo showing a decrease of nearly $60,000,000 from the new issues of February of last year. Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales, par value. $1,710,000. United States 3s declined 4 per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing eaies. Adams' Express High. Low.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH Dr. Claxton 1Ils How School Sys tem Is Growing. NEW YORK, March 2. Dr. P. P. Clay ton, head of the department of history of education at the University of Tennes see, addressed a large audience, com posed principally of women, yesterday af ternoon, in Earl Hall, Columbia Uni versity, on the progress of the educa tional campaign now being conducted in the South. "Every Southern State has doubled and in aome cases more than doubted its school appropriation over what lt was ten years ago," he said. "The best buildings being erected throughout the South are no longer courthouses, but schoolhouses. We have come out of poverty and in a gene ration we have risen from weakness to strength. "There was no public school system in the South before the War, and nothing that could be called a system, until ten years afterward. The start was made about 1873, and by 1S90 we had something that was beginning to resemble the sys tem of the North. "Since 1903 the appropriations for public schools by the State Legislature In Ten nessee have' increased 125 per cent. In North Carolina they have increased 100 per cent and in Louisiana 140 per cent. Furthermore, the efficiency of the schools had been quadrupled through the estab lishment of normal schools and better school supervision. "At first we copied the North In the establishment of our schools, but now we are creating a new type of education. To day we are about as wide awake on edu cational matters as any part of the world. We have today the best system of agri cultural education of any state of the Union. Furthermore, no section of the United States and no country in the world does so much by state appropriation for the education of the women as we-do."
