THE MORXIXG OREGOMAy, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1903.
BUTTER IS UP AGAIN
Local Market Will Advance
1 1-2 Cents Today.
SHORTAGE IN - SUPPLY
Price Lower Than at This Time
Last Year Seattle Heavy Buy
er of Cheese Wheat
Market Is Quiet.
Local butter price will advance Hi c-?nt
per pound Mil morning. The rest grades
of city creamery will be quoted at -IH
cents. Production la amall at thla tlma of
year, and aa tha local and shipping de
mand continue. Isrge. the .upply has fallen
below requirements.
The Price movement will continue In an
upward direction during the remainder of
the season. The loweit price of the season
was 22 cents, which was current from
Hay 5 to Mir It- On this date last year,
butter sold In the local market at 37,
cents, two years ago at 2 cents, three years
ago at 30 cents and four years ago at 25
cents. The highest price reached In that
time was 37i cents.
Ths cheese market Is also very firm, but
hlgSer prices are not looked for In the
immediate future. Seattle Is a heavy buyer
of cheese, as we'l aa butter, and local
stocks of cheese. In wholesalers' hands are
well cleaned up. Advices from Tillamook
are that supplies there are also light.
WHEAT QUIET BIT FIRM.
Farmers Are Slow Sellers at Price. '
Offered.
Very little business is retorted from the
country In the wheat line. Growers are
firm holders and nothing short of an ad
vance, apparently. will cause them to let
go. Prices quoted by exporters are un
changed. They are ebove export values,
but the large buyers, like the grower, are
apparently bullish.
Bids at the Board of Trade were on a
level with Wednesday's offers. Receipts
for the day were 29 cars and 5530 sacks
wheat. 6 ears snd 170 sacks oats, t cars and
S00 sacks barley. 1371 sacka flour and 17
cars and 11M bales hay.
The ranga of futures was aa follows (f. o.

' 'WESTERN WOOLS IN THE EAST.
Cedes of Orreroo Lighter, but Price Hold
Firm.
Mall advlcea Juat received from Boston
report that sales of Oregon wool are smaller
than In the preceding week, but there Is a
sustained Interest in best descriptions and
transfers of the week Include a fair amount
of Not. 1 and 2 Eastern. The former sold
on the scoured basis of 58c and the latter
at around 53c. About 45.000 pounds XXXX
scoured changed hands, but terms are pri
vate. In territory wools, sales have been large
in comparison with the ' transactions of
previous weeks. Selections are much better
and there is a demand for worsted wools
and the better class of clothing stock. Fine
staple Montana sold up to 60e clean, grease
prices ranging from 20 to 2lc. Good clothing
wool has been taken at 1 to 17c. to cost 50
to 52c clean, for line. Among the transfers
In the original bags are several good-sixed
lines of Montana at 20 to 21c and of Idaho
at 19 to 20c. to cost 65c. scoured. A line
of 850.000 pounds of fine staple changed
bands at close to 55c. clean.
RECEIPTS OF PEACHES INCREASING.
Xcal Stock Is Now Coming in From all
Directions.
Ths Oregon peach aeason has opened In
earnest. Receipts from all sources yester
day were large. 200 boxes coming from
A.hlsnd alone. These Crswfords sold well
at 7385 cents. Roeeburg Crawford were
quoted at 50975 cents, according to qual
ity. A car of California stock was due
last night.
Three cars of watermelons arrived, but
cantaloupes were In short supply and very
firm. A car of fancy Malaga grapes was
received and quoted at II 50.
In the vegetable line supplies generally
were good, except of tomatoes, which were
higher.
Light Arrivals of Ponllry.
The pressure of farm work is evidently
responsible for the small quantities of poul
try now being marketed. Ths demand, espe
cially for chickens, is active and prices are
very firm as last quoted.
There was no change in the egg market
yesterday. The demand was fair and on
good stock full prices were realized. Re
ceipts for the day were 253 cases.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK. MARKET.
Prices Cnrrcnt Locally on Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs.
Livestock dealers complain of the large pro
portion of inferior snd underfed stock now
gomlng In. which has a tendency to weaken
prices all around. This Is especially the case
with hogs, but some poor cattle, Fheep and
calves are also being marketed. For prime
stock there is a first-class demand, but the
inferior stuff is hard to diepose of. Receipts
yesterday were 170 cattle, 246 sheep, 166 bogs

REGAIN EARLY LOSS
Harriman Stocks Lead in Late
Rise.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC AT TOP
Pennsylvania and Xew York Central
Drop Early In Day, but Favor
able Xew Later Corrects
Market Tendency.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The reactionary
tendency in the stock market which became
so pronounced in yesterday's late operations
gathered freeh momentum today, resulting In
temporary losses In a number of active is
sues. No very definite news accompanied the
downward movement except persistent rumors
of the probable diemlssal of 4000 employes of
the Pennsylvania system on or before Sep
tember 1. There ws further acute weakness
In New York Central, both here and abroad,
although In London the opinion prevails that
the reduction of the coming dividend will
be averted.
To offeet these adverse factors advices from
Pittsburg reported a marked increase In the
tonnage handled by the railroads of that dis
trict and also preparations by the at eel com
panies for large equipment order..
The news from ths Western and Southwest
ern sections was optimistic In the extreme,
rains the past two weeks having apparently
given great relief. Com seems to have been
especially benefited and officials of the Bur
lington Route reported Indications of a 100
per cent car run In that staple.
Little significance attached to the business
on the exchange, which was restricted In
volume In the final hour, when recoveries
from the early depression were made under
the lead of the Harriman iMues, and the
greater part of the day's early loss gave
place to net gilns.
The seneatlonal decline In cotton waa hard
ly a market Influence, although the wild and
Indiscriminate selling of that commodity
was in some quarters regarded as a bear
argument. The close waa strong under the
lead of Southern Pacific, which reached its
high price under this movement.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,263,000. Government bonds were un
changed on call.

With a psck of Alaska reds exceeding by
many thousands of cases that of last year,
a wick of sockeyes on Puget Sound that

a production of the same grade in British
Columbia that will at least equal that of
the previous season, a pack on the Colum

per cent in advance of that at this time in
1907, and encouraging reports from the pink
salmon districts of Alaska and the Wash

gate canned salmon rack of the Pacific
Coast for the season of 1908 promises to be
the heaviest since 1905, the last big season,
when the "fourth y ear" rt n of sockeys on

BELIEVES MONKEYS THINK,
Harvard Professor Convinced by His
Experiments at Zoo.
NEW YORK. Aug;. 20. Professor Mel
vln E. Haggerty. of Harvard University,
who has been studying monkeys in the
Bronx Zoo Park for the past month,
has proved to his own satisfaction that
some of them at least are not merely
Imitators of the human species, but
have an Initiative. In one of his tests
he had a platform built extending about
five feet outside the cage occupied by
the orang outangs, Mickey and Minnie.
On the extreme end of this he placed
a bunch of bananas and some luscious
peaches. Then he placed in the cage
a long stick with a hook in the end and
went away. He had not been gone five
minutes when Mickey- looked at Minnie,
winked and laughed. Minnie winked and
laughed, too. Then Mickey got the hook
and raked in the fruit and they had a
delicious meal. Later Professor Hag
gerty tried the trick on Baldy. the chim
paniee, but he got the fruit within close
range before the hook was ready and
there was no need to go any further.
Baldy also had an enjoyable time. The
professor has some other tricks in stock
which, he believes, will demonstrate his
theory beyond any doubt

RECEIVER FOR WALSH ROAD
Federal Jurisdiction Extends Over
N Indiana Southern.
CHICAGO, Augr- 20. Federal juris
diction now extends over the Southern
Indiana Railroad Company through the
appointment of a receiver in the United
States Circuit Court for the road, which
has long been regarded as the best of
what are known as the John R. Walsh
railroads.
On a petition presented by counsel
for the First Trust & Savings Bank, of
Chicago, the representatives of the Chi
cago Clearing-House Association, Judge
Christian C. Kohlsaat late last night
appointed M. J. Carpenter, formerly
president of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Railroad Company, receiver of
the Southern Company. Failure to
meet the interest on the bonded In
debtedness of the road was the ap
proximate cause of the appointment by
the court.
The Southern Indiana was the first
road acquired by John R. Walsh In
extending his banking business from
banking lines to a wider financial ex
pansion, and the money employed to
develop the road and finance the other
railroad enterprises formed a large
part of the charges in the trial which
preceded the conviction of the aged
banker on a charge of misapplication
of the funde of the Chicago National
Bank, of which he had been president.
The receivership, which now covers
the Southern Indiana road alone, will
probably be extended to the Chicago
Southern Railway Company, which was
designed to connect the Southern In
diana road with Chicago.
A motion asking for an extension of
the receivership has been presented to
the Federal court, and will be argued
on Saturday.
