THE MORNING OREGON IAN, FRIDAY. APRIL 10, 1908. 19 GALLON EXPORTERS Board of Trade Committee Secures Their Co-operation. SINGLE GRAIN STANDARDS Chamber of roinmrrce Committee Invited to Supervise Grain Mat ters on the Kxchancc Iaily forenoon Sessions. It wk d iled hy the gram and feod members of the Board of Trad at their eion yesterday afternoon, to meet dally In the future at the time nrt scheduled, between 11 and 12 o'clock, an the afternoon hour was Inconvenient to many of them. A committee of the board appointed at the special meeting Wednesday night, called on the grain exporter! yesterday morning; and explained the workings of the exchange, and Invited them to have their representa tive dally nn the floor. It was also explained hy the committee that It was the desire of the Board of Trade to conform strictly to the standards established by the Chamber of Com vaarre (train committee, and in fact the Board of Trade feels that the grain stand ard committee of the Chamber of Commerce should act Jointly for both institutions and become the grain committee of the Board of Trade. This close co-operation will elim inate any objections that may nave been rained. The committee feels justified in as serting that the export grain interests will be represented on the floor dally hereafter. No business was transacted on the pro duce call at noon. Supplies In this depart ment are so llg;ht that there Is very little produce to offer now. The board quotations, in g-enerat. were unchanged. Among those present at the session was S. KUne, a Corvallls merchant, president of the Retail Grocers' and Merchants' Asso ciation of Oregon. The tone of the produce markets was re ported by the committee as follows: Veal, arrivals very much heavier, market weak all around, price shaded in some ca"cs. Rrrs, very firm, good outside demand: in dications outside orders cease In few days. Poultry arrivals moderate; market in good shape.

" There will be a meeting of the Polk Comity Mohair Association Saturday for the purpose of chatiRing- the date of the mohair pool sale, as the primary elections are to be held on the day already set. Mohair Is reaching the local market more freely as the growers are becoming recon ciled to the sharply reduced quotations. The Boston Commercial Bulletin says of the Eastern market: A many mills are shut down, and others running only on part time, there Is but tittle buying being done. There are, of course, sales of small lots from time to time, when ever manufacturers see an opportunity ff acquiring stock at favorable prices, but the total volume of actlvlt y Is not of Impor tance. Price are nominally steady, and holders of mohair show no Inclination to make sacrifice sales in order to induce busi ness. A bid of ,c under the sellinjr price or one lot of hair was the cause of the Im mediate withdrawal of the stock from, the market. The average, grades are in slow demand, both In America and England, but it is re ported that some transfers of finer qualities nave recently been made In En gland. For eign hair is practically at a standstill In this market. The new domestic clip is said to be up to the average in quality, while growers' Ideas of prices are beyond those held by the mid dleman, in Texas, up to 30c is being- asked, which Is thought unreasonable by Eastern dealers.

A car of mixed vegetables and a cor of Wlnntngstadt cabbage arrived yesterday. Kxpre:t receipts of peas and asparagus were larger, but they sold promptly. Oregon cauliflower is coming in freely, and large siaes bring- t per dosen. The first Oregon hothouse cucumbers of the season were re ceived yesterday and were quoted, at $1.50$? $J per dozen.

The egg market was very firm on Front street. Arrivals generally were light, indi cating that the country Is holding back supplies for Easter. This nun been the cus tom for many year?, but the shippers are seldom trainers by It. There was al?o a strong demand forhens and small chickens, which cleaned up read ily at fall prices. No new developments were reported in the butter market beyond an easier tone. Offers to veil under the market were made on the Board of Trade, Indicating more weakness on the part of holders. New Texts Onions Next Week. A few small lots of onions are being hauled In from nearby sections and the sup ply is barely sufficient to meet the daily re quirements of Jobbers.

COPPER METAL DECLINES Steel Affected by Rumor of Cut in Price of Its ProductsBrooklyn Transit Kxpects Iirg Kaee Track Traffic. NEW YORK. April The bewilderment In which the financial irorld has been groping for more than a week over the Erie problem waa amply Justified by the dlaclowirea over night of the extent to which the principal,. In the working out of the problem, had beea confused. Wall street hea clung to a con viction that the Erle-a bankers mux have safeguarded their plans by mearores to take care of the unaosenting notes. In addition to having assured themselves of the assent of a sufficient number of noteholders to leave only an unimportant residue to be cared for. Aay assumption that the Erie's bankers had not safeguarded their larw by measure to take ear, of the uaawentlng' notes. In addition to bavins; assured themselves of the assent of a sufficient number of noteholders, have been met by the assertion that a desire to force a recelverahdp for the company would be a fair Inference from such a Btate of af fairs. That the Erie was saved from a re ceivership and that the advance of relief funds expressed confidence not only In the property, but In the financial prospect In general, wera the result, summed up to be accepted from the episode as a whole. The effect In the stock market today, how ever, was of slow growth and was not unin terrupted. Depressing Influences were a de cline In London copper and assertions that a cut In prices of steel products was In con templation. United States Steel was affected by these reports and did not share largely In the rally In pricesi In spite of the renewed assurances from the chairman of the board of the corporation issued in a public state ment that no reduction would prevail. Some of the notable advances were due to special cause In the New York local trans actions there was evidence of the foreleg- to cover of a distressed short Interest. The rle In Brooklyn Transit was attributed to Its In creased prospects for traffic by reason of the defeat of the Albany bill against race track gambling. Foreign exchange advanced sharply. Ster ling exchange at Paris declined and gold con tinued to go out to Pari, from London. In creasing the likelihood of shipments from New Tork to Paris on the triangular opera Uon. Bonds were firm.

Work on Power Station Progressing Contracts have been let to the Risdon Iron Works. San Francisco, for a large quantity of steel pipe far the penstocks at the power station new being built by the Mount Hood Railway & Power Com pany at Bull Run. Work is well along on the foundations to the power-house, which will eventually grind out 75,000 horse-power. Changes in the route be tween Gresham and Portland are likely because of the difficulties the right-of-way agents are experiencing In obtaining property needed in building on the route originally outlined. It is probable that the company will build south of Mount Tabor instead of to the north of it as originally intended. DOWNING-HOPKINS CO.

They buy because of the attractive in terest rates that are paid by the issuing company. Usual ly bonds, especially railway bonds, are issued in denomi nations of $1000. This makes small investing prohibitive. The issuance of railway bonds in denominations of $100, selling upon easy terms and guaranteeing the pay ment of interest with ass3t3 modestly valued at over $5,000,000, by the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COM PANY, is a novelty in finan ciering. It has proven pop ular in San Francisco, where over half the issue has been subscribed. Portland people, many of them the most rep resentative citizens, have been extremely interested in the plan of the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COM PANY. They are keeping in close touch with the re sults we are securing. The chief feature of these bonds is their denomination, $100. The second is the reasonable price at which we are selling them $92 for cash in full and $96 on time payments. The third and most excellent feature is the -fact that an opportunity is, for the first time, afforded to the small investor to become the pos sessor of gilt-edged, profit able securities upon easy terms, and be earning money while paving for them. If you place your money in a savings bank, drawing 4 per cent interest, you get noth ing for your money until it has been in the bank for six months. Then, you get in terest only on the balance to your credit at interest-paying time. Invest in the bonds of the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COMPANY and this is the plan: Pay $16 cash and $10 per month. In eight months you have paid for the bond. The first in terest date for you will be November 1. At that time you will receive 5 per cent on $100, or 5.21 per cent on $96, the price you paid. Thus, from the time you make your first payment of $16, you are receiving interest on the total amount. It's the peculiarly attractive interest that catches the banker.
