BLACKBOARD AT LAST DRY "-President Townsond and Secretary Muller Will Visit Kait Side Points .t Week to Secure the Co operation of the Merchants. While no aaie lias been et for the official opening of the Board of Trade, It Is probable the exchange, will bo ready for busi ness on April I. resident T. S. Tovnsend uvi .Secretary Fred Muller will take a trip up the Kant Hide next week, going an far smith a Affhlajid, to laythe matter before the country 'merchants Mst of the had ing butneffs men fn the towns on the 'W?st tlde have subscribed for stock and this leads the. officials to believe the Bant .Side mer chant will ,ano give the Board their up port. The Jobbers and commission men of Portland are almost unanimously in favor of the exchange. The Board of Trade quarters In the Cera VMTcfal Club building are now ready for bus-f-but the president and secretary believe the opening should be delayed until all the Valley merchants have an opportunity to par ticipate In Ita advantage The work of pre paring the bis blackboard upon which the quotations of produce, grain, stocks, etc., are to appear nan been completed.

A car of celery arrived yesterday and two more cars are on the way. These ovllt probably wind up carlot shipments from the South a the season is getting Into. There were heavy express receipts of asparagus yesterday and the price dropped to 12 cents. Khubarb wis more plentiful and a shade lower. Cauliflower was scarce and quoted firmer. There is an overeupply of Mexican tomatoes on the street and the best are offered at $3 per crate. Hothouse, hvtuce Is also plentiful and weaker. Two ears of mixed vegetables were received dur- lng the day. Apples continue to come In freely from the outlying sections and the quality of tho arrivals Indicate a cleaning up of odd lots. These heavy receipts are Inclined to weaken the market and prevent the offer ing of storage apples. Two cars of oranges were received yesterday and three are due today. The orange market is firmer and on the average 25 cents a box higher. There were no further receipts of California straw berries. While the Florin crop Is said to be if re. the bulk of It will evidently be late, s ii-ce rtt the leading growers of that sec tion was in Portland yesterday placing his order for -boxes and crates. fKIKR.S FROM THE NORTH FOR E(.GS 0ade Turned to Portland by the Advance In California Price. The egg market has been steadied some what and the decline checked by the reap pearance of Fuget Sound buyers who have an Alaska outlet. Their re-entry in this market is the result of tho advance In prices at San Francisco. But for the North ern orders tho local market might have dropped yesterday to 14 cents. As It was, I.-, to l cents was quoted, the latter figure for ingle cases. Most of the business of the day was done at l, cents. Front street Is practically without local trade at present, as most of the retailers are getting egs di rect from the country and some of them sre offering their surplus to the Jobbers. The present steady market is regarded as only temporary and it Is believed tho price will Vt rirnn tn L .., A. u lJi cents. The poultry market was dull yesterday. Supplies were light, the demand slow and prices unchanged. Butter continues very active hd each day's make cleans up without delay. An in dication of an earls' increase in the cream supply is offered by the large number of veal being marketed. The increase will bo more pronounced after the first of the no nth. VOMME Oh" HOP TRADE IS FAIR. KaMern Brewers Awaiting the Result of the Full Elections. A fair amount of business is under way in the hop market, most of the buying being for the export trade. Kastcrn dealers and lrr-wer only show interest when very low prices are quoted. The representative of a Pittsburg brewery supply bouse, who has been in thia city, says the brewers in his section have enough hops to last them until the Novemher election and will take on no more supplies until they see what progress the prohibition movement makes. Among tho transactions reported yester day was the sale of tho Ieo Loy lot of M bales at Champoeg at cents. Anothef Chinese lot. that of Buck Sue. 124 bales, at Tualatin, brought 5 cents. These are said to have been bought for llorst. A. J. Uay & Son housht the Rnirue lot of 40 hales nt VrminH-ton at 11 rents. Henrv T Rcnta made a number of purchases In his section. A considerable business in olds at prices running as low as H cent is reported. ONION SIPPL1ES ARE VKRY LIGHT Market Has a Steady Inward Tendency. New Crop Is Latr. The local jobbing trade Is hard pressed to fill orders for onions. Only a very small remnant of the crop remains in the hands of growers and none of them will sell for less than 3 cents, while some will not sell at all. The Jobbing quotation .yesterday was 3'i cents and It is likely to go to 4 ents in the next few day s. Of the small shipment of Japanese onions received early m ths month none are now offered. Several of the Jobbers now regret that they did not place orders at the time for these Japanese onions .Jo tide them over until Southern stock is available. New crop Texas and California onions will not be available In quantity before April l." or April 20, and the local dealers are wondering what they will do In the mean time. No price has been fixed yet on the Southern Bermudas, but It is probable they will sell around 3 cents at the opening. WHEAT BITING IN WHITMAN COl'NTY Purchase Made for Portland and Seattle Mills.

BUT VOLUME NOT LARGE Favorable Report Issued by the United Slates Steel Corporation. Advance In Copper Also Aids Sentiment. NEW TORK. March 20. The only motira power in the stock market today eemed to be the shifting operations of the profession-, al traders. This element acted without any show of Axed conviction, changing posi tion many time throughout the day. The speculative tone was one of uncertainty and un st ability until the brisk advance of the final hour. Large attention was given to the state of the iron and steel trade, owing to the pub lication of the pamphlet report of the United States Steel Corporation for the last year, and to the outcome of the conferences yesterday among steel men over the policy of maintaining prices. The contents of the annual report, for the most part, presented conditions of a past date, which are no longer of influence In a speculative sense. Of different sort waa the observation with which the report closed that "the bookings for January were 25 per cent larger than December and for February 2-5 per cent larger than for January. As this report goes to press, the bookings per day are at least 25 per cent larger than those of February. The management express hopeful views of the future." This paragraph was a corrective, in some sort, of Impressions which emanated from the recent conference that the Tate improve ment in the trade was not being fully main tained fn March. In connection with the determination arried at yesterday to main tain priced for domestic business, the lan guage of the report on foreign trade was read with interest where it said: - "In order to obtain the maximum benefits from such trade during the times of lesser activity in business in the domestic market, it seems wise to ee-U continuously, in t-the neutral markets of the world and even at times when foreign trade conditions do not result in prices so near the domestic prices as mere received In 1007." The record exports of steel which were made from New York in February may be explicable from the policy thus formulated. The favorable impression of the iron and steel trade derived from these factors. was supplemented b" good reports from the copper trade. The price of that metal ad vanced at the local metal exchange and In London and the export price in New York also was credibly reported to have been raised by the principal selling agency. A depressing influence was exerted during the morning by the reports of sweeping re ductions In working forces in all depart ments projected by the Pennsylvania Rail road owing to the heavy curtailment in Its traffic. The greatest strength was shown late in the day after the publication of the usual preliminary estimates of the week's sub treasury operations, which have gained largely on balance from the interior on the express movement. The $3,155,000 gained from the sub treasury was largely influenced ( by .the presentation of notes of interior banks which are being forwarded to banks here In very large volume, and wh-lch are Invariably presented to the subtreasury for exchange Into legal tenders, which may figure in bank reserves. Some preparation is making also by the banks to meet the next installment of repayment of Govern ment deposits, which Is called for next Monday, and which will withdraw a total of $21,000,000 from the banks. TMs pay ment is expected to be provided for with out effect on the money market, which con tinues easy. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $1,700,000. United States 4s registered de clined per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.Low. Fid.

Spring Jobbing trade has apparently passed its zenith with a total trade larger perhaps than was. expected some months ago, but smaller by far than a year ago. Pall trade is four to six weeks late in opening up.

Georare Wll loughby, manager of the Jewett & Sher man Company, coffee and spice mills, early today shot and killed his wife at their home on Prospect avenue. . Wil loughby then shot himself and le not expected to recover. He confessed to the police that he had committed the mur der because he was infatuated with an other woman, whom he had been supporting- for four years. Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby last evening had attended a social at the Park Place M. El Church, where both were promi nent workers. Mr. "Willoughby also taught a .Sunday school class. After the social they .visited hts brother. Lieroy Willoughby, and then returned home. There a quarrel arose, after which both retired. While Mrs. Willoughby waa asleep he chloroformed her and then shot her behind the left ear, causing in stant death. . After shooting himself, . Willoughby dragged himself downstairs to the base ment, opened the side door bo as to make It appear that burglars had committed the deed, hid the revolver in the wall of the basement and then telephoned for a doctor. The police were informed that burglars committed the crimes, but con vinced Willoughby- that this statement was false and he then confessed. His story was that he married mostly out of sympathy 20 years ago, and did not iDve his wife. They frequently quar reled, she being insanely jealous. - Four years ago he met a woman on a train, whose husband was cruel, and soon came to love her. Her husband deserted her and Willoughby began t to support her and became intimate with her. She ob tained a divorce two years ago and lie had since provided for her and her chil dren in Chicago. He finally decided to end it all and collected chloroform by buying small quantities. After his wife fell ..asleep last niiht he appi.ed the drug, then shot her. He next shot himself, in tending to pierce the heart, but failed and having no more cartridges, hid the revolver and concocted the burglar story. Northwestern People in New York. NEW YORK, March 20.
