FAITH Ifl FUTURE
Potato-Growers and Specula
tors Look for Better Prices.
MUCH STORING GOING ON
Los Angeles Bayers Securing Sup
plier in the Valley and Paying
Vp to One. Dolly Firmer
Fee ling In Wheat.
The potato market has become firmer
an4 utilise some unexpected development
oemira, the early winter slnmp that the
growere have feared will be averted. There
is not much demand yet from Ban Fran
cisco, which la being- supplied by the heavy
crop of Rivers, but Los Aneeles buyers are
In the market and are picking; up what
choice lots they can find In tre Valley at
PV to $1 per hundred.
There has also been considerable burins
fey local speculators, who have paid $1 for
fancy lots, and ar storing- their stock In
the confidence that tha lata market will be
high one. Farmers are also of this Im
pression and many of t'lera are storing
their potatoes against tha future. Offerings
at present, therefore, are light and this
add to tha flrmne5s.
There Is some uncertainty as to Just
where the late market will go. but that
prices should be Rood Is conceded by alt.
In some quarters It Is predicted that pota
toes will sell In January. February and
March at higher prices than have ever
ben realised here be for.
Tho Found markfs are strong and hljrh.
but are not drawing r n Oregon, as they
ran get what they want, aside from the
Taklmas. at Southwestern Washington
points. The aheenco In the local market of
potato from thos sections Is a strenirth
entmr factor In the situation here. Front
street Jobbers find difficulty In getting such
supplies as they nr-ed under $1.
tONDOV HOP MARKET FIRM.
Choir Grade Kx ha muted and Prime Are
Stronger.
No transactions were reported in tha local
tinp market yesterday, but there were
pnty of orders on hand. Eealer find in
creasing difficulty tn securtng choice goods,
even at J. VS. Seavey. who cam tip
f-nm Eugene yesterday, states that onlr 500
bates are !eft In growers hands In Lane
t'ounty.
The following cshle wu received by
' KNbr, Wolf A Nftter from London yes
trdy :
"t'holc: Market Is clear of stok.
rrimr: Market closed strong. , Good me
diums: Market 1 steady at unchanged
prlr.'S. Lower grades: Market Is wak."
The Wwterville Times ssys of tho New
Y-k State market:
tirowers and dealers are still laboring
ur.t.r the disadvantages of corrtlnueu dry
arhcr. At nlrhts tie hop house d-ors
are l-ft open so that tne hops may gather
ht dnmpness there 1 and In this way
a few hales at a time are gotten out. but
r't'l very few crops are yet on the market,
considering the time of the year. It Is
reported that a sale direct to an agent of
a prominent brewlnc-house has been made
!n this vicinity at 1 '-A steady business
ts doing, but the larger and better crops
are n-'t yet on the market and until they
are. little can be done. From 10c to 12 '.o
mav be said to be the general range of
prf-e In this and adjoining counties.
Concerning the Inc-reneo In beer sales In
Fptcrn.V'r. the New York Journal of Com-'
mro aald:
The topic of general Interest with sellers
as wen mjt brewers waa the remarkable
showing made by beer sales In September
tn the statistics published by the Vnitcd
Ftstea Government. K very body had looked
f-r a decrease In view of the spread of
prohibition and local- option sentiment over
the country and bets were made cn tha
extent of the decline of sales. The figures,
however, were most reassuring from tha
standpoint of dealers In hops and brewers.
According to the returns, the consumption
of beer In the t'nlted States during the
month of September amounted to 0.S73 2.1
barrels, as against 5,339.3. barrels for the
same period of 1007.

BAD BREAK IN CHICKEN PRICES.
Fit end v Receipts and Slow " Drmsod
Cans m Mump.
The poultry market went to pieces entlre:y
jeet-rday. The high prices of last week
Induced shlpmsr.ta on a large scale, the arri
val of chickens for toe forenoon amounting
to 1M coops. Tte large buyers pursued their
usual tactic under such circumstances and
kept out of the market almost entirely. The
result was that price had to bs cut vigor
ously to make any movemert at all. White
15 rr.ts i9 frrely pal J for chickens the
day te'ore. buyers yesterday wou!d not offer
over li'HSlSH cents, acd some sales were
made at 12 cents. Receipt of ether poultry
were not large enough to came any change
In their prices.
The dally supply of fresh ren-h egg con
tinues rldlcnlouely smell and the price holds
firm at 0 cents.
TWO-CENT DROP IN BITTER.

City Cresimerle,
Two of the city creameries which have
been fcoMlr.g their top grade of butter at
36 cents announced a I-cent drop to 3-4 cents
5 erterday morning. Several other Institu
tion that have bn at S3 cents for r-m
time past mse no change in their qixita-tl-r-e.
The decline from 3d cents wa made aec
tnArr by the ccndlt'ons prevail Irg in other
Conet markets. With the recvat unexpected t
Ump In the Fust. Portland was left abov
a parity with otrer market !a this section
and the extreme price cou'.d not be well
sralntalned. I
The cheese market Is In a very firm posi
tion, with the demand, particularly from
California, c-n a lance scale and present .
stock not soots the normal.
rUOO-R TONE TN WURAT MARKET
Fewlinst Improves With Better Cable
Ther wa a much firmer feeling In the
Avheat market yesterday. In response to the ;
strorg cable" advices, but local quotations
ere not raled. Club wu quoted at
cents and bluetem at 14 cents, but It Is not
likiy any wheat cou!4 be bought at those
figures. Some offers oh a higher bsLs are
reported to have been rnarte In' the country.
There Is very little California demand at
the preeent time, but It la probable there
will be a good movement after the turn of
the year. It la estimated that the South
will take I.OoO.OOO or S.O0O.0CO bu?heis then,
which will leave about 5.000,000 bushels of
unsold wheat In the Northwest to be handled
by the exporters."
Pending the ecttlement of Its troubles,
there was nothing doing at the Board of
Trad ywrterday. Half a dozen grain men

BRYAN'S SPEECH IGNORED
Offcrlngrs AVitlihcld Pending Passing
of Election, AYhen Strong Invest
ment Demand I Expect- -cd
to Materialize.
NKW YORK. CX-1. 2T. Thf ooi-urr,ncw
on th. Mock exchange today cfTcr little ma
terial for chronicle. The characteristic of
the market waa Its flrmnefrs, In apite of Ita
Intense dullne. The rata of activity re
ceded at times during- the aessslon to the
point of idleneiv.
The first hour supplied most of th. activity
and most of the movement. Some of the
buy Ins; at that time came from professional
traders who had sold toeks .hort on the
assumption that the political demonstration
last night would weaken stock, today. The
assumption was based on the analogy of pre
vious speeches of Mr. Bryan in New York
In the couse of political campaigns, which
induced tome subsequent liquidation of stocks.
There was no mjch selling today and the
light demand was sufficient to send prices
upward. There -was no sign of ajiy large
accumulation of stocks, but a resolute with
holding of offering, for sale was very ap
parent. The action of the market suggested
a determination of the .peculatlve leadership
to sand by and await the outcome of the
election and what Is to follow.
Prices touched today did not in all cases
represent a return to th September level. In
some prominent stocks, however, that level
waa exceeded, l.'nion Pacific, Atchieon,
Pennsylvania. United Statea Steel, American
Car, Colorado Fuel and Sloss-Sheffield Steel
are among the stocks which have rieen to
the h1ghtt prices of the year on the pres
ent movement.
Immediate news of the day had little ef
fect on the market. Tne selling . to take
profit, at the end of the day, although small,
was sufficient to reduce the narrow gains to
fractions, excepting In a few specially strong
stock,
Total Mies of bonds, par value, 3.804,O0O.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The wheat market
opened strong with price c to c abov,
the previous close, but despite the liberal
realising at time,, made additional gain,
during the 'day and closed at almost the
top notch.- Final quotations on December
were at Sl.OOfe and on May at S1.03K
1 03H- Commission houses and local
shorts were active bidders for wheat the
greater part of the day. The situation in
Argentina was the chief Incentive for the
urgent demand. News from the . South
American country was conflicting, but some
of the advices were of a sensational na
ture, one dispatch claiming that 20 per
cent less wheat will be available for ex
port this year than was exported last year.
Damage by recent frost, was given as the
reason for this shortage. The strength of
the Liverpool market, which closed at
gains of Sd to lttd, seemed to furnish
ample confirmation in the minds of many
local traders of the numerous reports of
injury to the Argentine crop. At the same
time, a decided falling off in receipts in
the Northwest caused considerable com
ment among , traders and inspired addi
tional buying. Many traders, however, were
unable to decide whether tho decreased
movement was the fulfillment of an official
prophecy of smaller receipts or was merely
a result of unsettled weather In that sec
tion. The market was also bull'.shly af
fected by a good export demand ' at Lm
luth. where it was claimed exporters took
everything offered over night.
The corn market was firm all day. The
market closed steady. December closed at
63?463c and May at C3c.
Trade in otfts as ' quiet. The market
closed firm at the top. with prices H43 4itO
higher than yesterday. December closed
at 48c and May at 4U50c.
Decreased receipt, of live hogs af West
ern packing centers caused firmness In
provisions. The market closed strong' st
the top point of the day. with prices un
changed to 2254c higher than the previous
close.

STRIKES ROCK, SOON AFIRE
Women, Panicstricken When Disas
ter Overtakes Lake Steamer.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Detroit, Mich., says:
Missing Its vay In a smoke pall over
Georgian Bay on Saturday, the steamer
Iroquois, wlth 11 passengers and a crew
of five, smashed on West Rock. Twen
ty minutes later It caught fire from an
overturned cookstove. The people aboard
owe their 11 v-es to the prompt response
of a passing tug to the signals of dis
tress. When the Iroquois crashed Into
the rock, careening far over, panic en
sued. There were women on board.
There was a sea running which made
the lowering of lifeboats Impossible.
Back of the vessel in the smoke was
the rafting tug. The Iroquois whistled
for aid and the tug. dropping its log
boom, came steaming through the
smoke.
When the tug pulled alongside there
was a scramble for safety. J. H. Kotch
er, of Detroit, was also on the wreck.
He caught babies aa they were tossed
over the rail of the steamer to. the tug
below and assisted frightened women
and lent a hand everywhere until all
were aboard the tug.
