A formal resolution was passed adopting;

Commercs as a basis for transactions on
the floor of the Board of Trade, and an
other resolution extended an itrvitation to

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

tJntys Harbor city asking what steps It was
necessary to take to buy produce on the

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

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

METAL TRADE QUIET
Buyers Are Waiting for Lower
Prices.
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.
Business failures in the United States fbr
the week ending April 10 number 261, against
258 last week and 1BT n the like week of
1WJ7. Canadian failures for the week ending
April 111 number 2, as against is 'last week
and 18 in this week a year ago.
Wheat, Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week ending-
April 18 aggregated 2.470.1TT bushels,

THE man or woman
who has a disposi
tion to invest but
cannot afford to risk
either the amount of the
investment or the in
come therefrom; who
has not expert knowl
edge of the character of
the different opportuni
ties that are so numer
ous; who invests prin
cipally for the purpose
of keeping their money
safe and earning some
thing; that man or
woman needs only a
level head and a little
common sense. 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
