A ChlcflKO lawyer says the Ten Com mandments should be amended. So far as the sporting world froes. most of them have been repealed by implication. They have invented a gun that will shoot 9X1 miles.

GRAIN MEN MEET Committee Appointed to Pass on Rules of fibard of Trade. STANDARDS ARE ADOPTED Grain Committee of tbe Chamber of Commerce Invited to Act in Same Capacity for the Board. Produce Session Today. A ttieettr' of the, araln. flour and feefl member of the Portland Board of Trade waa held at the rooms ot the Board at 8 o'rloek Us nltrM, the different intercuts nelnr well represented. After a a-enetnU dlscuaslon ot matters relating to the hand ling of them commodities on tha err h an ire, the following committee, of Ave vu ap pointed to ro over the rulea and remlatlont proMdd by Secretary Muller and vuo-rnit their report to the trade: I. A, PttuH, ot Ralfour, Outhrie fc Co.; Frank McKee, of Kerr. 0!fford ft-Co.; I. C San ford, of the OamptxrfUSanford- Hentey Company; Prank U. Shult, of tha Portland Flouring Mills Company, and Prank "W. Swanton, of the Columbia Milling Company. A formal resolution was passed adopting; the frraln standards of thti Cham her of Commercs as a basis for transactions on the floor of the Board of Trade, and an other resolution extended an itrvitation to the frraln standard committee of the Cham ber of Commerce to act tn the same ca pacity for the Board of Trade. Se-cre-tary Multer Veported that he ordered ten tables. 42 by 26 Inches In else, with eight-Inch lock drawer, each having space for two dealers to exhibit their sam ples. A small rental fee is provided In the rules for the use of the tables, on which will be placed the firms' names. The choice of locations will be auctioned oft. One dealer has already offered $3 premium over tie rental for the best location. At the meeting- of producs med to be held at 2 o"clock this afternoon, it is probable, Judping from the discussion on the noor tn tha past two days, that the prevailing draw backs of the eirg trade will e thoroughly discussed with a view of their adjustment. Monday at 1 P. M. the board of direc tors will meet to listen to a proposition for support from the promoters of the new steamship line between Portland and Tilla mook. AmoB(f the outside points Interested In the Board of Trade movement Is Aberdeen, Wash. A letter was received by Secretary Muller yesterday from merchants of the tJntys Harbor city asking what steps It was necessary to take to buy produce on the floor. Business was light at the exchange yes terday, owing to the meagemesa of offer ings. The following offers were posted: Offers to buy 1 car second-cut alfalfa, $10.50 track PorUand. delivery next week; 3 cars second -cut alfalfa, $10 60 track Portland, delivery April 29.

OEVTKR OF PORTXAXD HOP TRADE Most of the Firms VTXll Go to the Top Floor of lVroester Block. The Worcester bull dm is a-oing to be the eenter of the hop trade of this city. The owners of the hulldlns; are fitting- up the sixth floor for the exclusive use of tha deal ers, putting- In skylights over each suite so as to give them the proper light for the!r sampling. Uke the London hop offices, the ceilings of each room will 'be painted blue and the floors and woodwork black. This coloring, with the overhead light, will be of the greatest benefit In the inspection of samples. The firms that have already se cured quarters on the top floor of the build ing are Klaber. Wolf & Netter. Harry L. Hart, Seavey Hop Company and McXeff Bros., and other dealers are making ar rangements to go there. It Is probable several Pal em Arms will open offices In Portland this Sunrmer and If so they will locate in the) Worcester build in . IX IX RE Or THK KGG MARKET. . Good Demand for Chickens at Full Prices. Turkeys Are Wanted. There is a difference of opinion In the trade as to the future course of the egg market. Some dealers have an Idea that re ceipts next week will be larger, but the general opinion Is that no lower prices' will prevail this season and that the market from now on will steadily advance. Sup plies were light yesterday and sales on the street were at 17 and 1T4 cents. There was a (rood inquiry for poultry of all kinds, hens selling readily at 15 cents. There was also a fair inquiry for turkeys, ducks and geese with none for sale. There are no cold-storage turkeys In market and none likely to come, owing to the sharp ad vance In the Kast. so It Is difficult to see where the local supply of turkeys will come from until the young birds are ready for market. Butter continues to clean up well. The city creameries have no surplus and Front street gets rid of Its accumulation by shad ing when necessary. FRUIT AND VEGETABLE TRADE SLOW rHrawberries Cat to fl a Crate In Ordv to Move Therm. The combination of election, bank ho!l day. Good Friday and rain served to put something of a quietus on trade yesterday and a holiday air pervaded the produce district. County business was good in most lines, but city buying was unimportant. A fair shipment of strawberries came in. hut the weather was against them and late in the day sales were made as low as $1 per crate. A larger supply of berries Is dire today. There were no carlot arrivals of fruit or vegetables from the South. Aspara gus came In freely by express aftd sold Joww at 57 cents. Local cau 1 1 fl ower is also very plentiful. The Texas onions late ly received are moving freely at $2.73 per crate. t Bank Clearings. Clearing of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: CI ear intra BainncM Portland r. .

SOME CUTTING BEING DONE Retail Trndo Is Fair, but No Im prorement Is Noted In the Lead ing Industries Building Linos Dull. NEW TOR1C. April IT. Brartreef to morrow will my: Eatrr tradft at retail, thoua-h affected In sections br unfavorabla weather, la, on the whole, fair. Collections show sltg-ht fmprove ment at a few eentera and filllnr-tn onlers by Jobbers are a trifle better, but reports from leucine; Industries are no more favora ble. Rather more weak cases are noted In Iron and steel and Pnll trade In leadlnc lines Is etlll disappointingly backward. The dull ness In building- affects all lines of materials. Export and Import trade Is ebbing-, indicating- the first decrease in foreign trade from the preceding fiscal year noted for Ave years past. Ths number ot idle hands Is as large as for some time past: wage reductions cur tall buying power and the number ot failures continues far ahead of a year ago. Bficier condltiona prevail In the Iron and steet market and production is mnaller than it was a few weeks ago. Business in pig Iron is very light and lower prices have been made to attract even the small businees being done. The finished Iron and steel trades are likewise quiet and! rail orders are only fair. Plates are exceptionally duil and fabricators of structural material, particularly- in the Chicago district, have named some low quo tations on business recently booked, although there is no evidence that the shapes have brought lower than list prices. Demand for structural material la fair, track elevation and railroad brldge-bulldina; causing- the bulk of the business. Bar iron la weak and this adversely affects steel bars. In fact, the widespread expectation of lower prices seems to have superinduced a waiting mood of purchasers In general, but the leading producers insist that prices will be maintained.

Condi tions are such, right now, that a gilt-edged bond investment is es pecially attractive Bonds yield all the way from zYi Per cen to 5V2 per cent. The amount of interest earn ed, however, should be secondary to the safety of the proposition. Then, again, the price of the bond is a matter of consideration. Most bonds that pay a high rate of interest are too high priced to be inter esting. To invest in OCEAN SHORE BONDS is to be on the safe side in every partic ular. They earn above the average, 5 per cent on par value, 5.21 per cent on the easy-payment price, $96, and sY2 per cent on the cash price, $92. The total is sue is $5,000,000. This issue is secured by over $5,000,000 of sound as sets. Hence, your money, invested in OCEAN SHORE BONDS, is safe, profit able, and the amount in vested may be all the way frdm $92 to several thousand. It is also worth remembering that OCEAN SHORE BONDS, now obtain able for $92 and $96, will command $115 to $120 as soon as the balance of the road is completed. Thus, you not only se cure semi-annual inter est payments, but may at any time convert the bonds into cash at a handsome profit over and above what they cost. If you would like to purchase one or more of these bonds for cash or upon easy payments, call at our office at any time. v MORRIS BROTHERS ROOM 6 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TRAVELERS' OCFOE.
