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

fejny to attend the banquet, of the commercial
bodle of that city and will addreen the gath
ering on the work of the Board of Trade.
t'KLRRT SEASON DRnl TO AN END
Heavy Keceipt of Apples Hold Market
Down Advance in Oranges.
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.

BRISK STOCK RISE
Market Moves Up Sharply in
the Final Hour.
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.

IN SMALL LOTS
CONSERVATISM STILL FEATURE
OF MERCANTILE OPERATIONS.
Spring Business Better Than Expect
ed, but Much Less Than
last Year's.
NEW TORK, Marcli 20. Bradstretts to
morrow wlU say:
Improvement in sentinment and in actual
de.mand continue. but it proceeds under
the' check-rein of conservatism, which limit,
buying to small lots of etaple roods. 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.
As regards the future, it must be said that
while the outlook is hopeful, prospects seem
to indicate p. fluctuating trade in forthcom
ing months, or at least until the possible
crop yield can be pretty well measured.
Business failure. In the United States num
ber 228 against 278 last week and 137 in
the like week of WOT. Canadian failures
for the week number1 39 against 31 last week.
Wheat, including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week end
ing March 19 aggregated 2.7)13,021 bushels
against 1.878,614 this week last year. For
the US weeks of the fiscal year the exports
are 14,253.08 bushels against 127,883,613 In
M06-07.
READJUSTMENT PROCESS IS SLOW.
Buyers Restrict Their Purchases to Imme
diate Needs.
NEW TORK, March 20. Dun Co.'s Re
view of Trade tomorrow will say:
"Trade reports Indicate a little more ac
tivity and the percentage of idle machinery
decreases, but more reductions in wages and
dividends show that the process of read
justment will take some time.
"Conditions in ail sections facilitate the
distribution of seasonable wearing apparel,
yet retailers are not disposed to replenish
stocks beyond the business actually in sight."
Bank Clearings.
NBW TORK, March 20. Bradstrcet's bank
clearings report for the week ending March

FOR LOVE0F ANOTHER
Wealthy Man Kills AVife and At
tempts Suicide.
MILWAUKEE, March 20. 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.
