!
OTHER RECENT PURCHASES
Trad .Looks for an Active Market j
in November if Taft Is Elected.
Affairs at the Board
of Trade.
The best price, known to have been paia for
Oregon hops since harvest sras received by
Je Keareiy. of Woodburn. who aold 97 bale
to A. "Wolf Son. of SiWerto:., yesterday at
cents- Wolf & Sob also bought 5 Daloar
trrm J. Schleidier, of SHverton, but the pries
was r.nt lerned. An offer of 8, cents was
made a few days sro by B. O. Shuck Ins; for
t Gilbert Patterson crop at Salem, but
-h-ther or nit a sale whs mado is unknown
to the. lo-aI trade and until It Is conflrme-1.
Wolf & Son will have the credit for paying;
the tp price of the season. .
Another Important transaction yesterday
was the purchase by B. O. Shucking of the
V". R. McKay lot of 177 bales) at St. Paul
at 8 cents. Recent purchases by Klabe-r,
tVo:f Netter were W bales1, from F. E.
Terpen, of Aurora; B2 bale-s frotn C. Rouck,
of Aurora, and S2 bales from Leerman, of
.'eaberg. aU at "H eenta
Everybody In the trade looks for a good
business In November la the event of Taft's
election. That the brewers are beginning to
feel the need of hop Is apparent and- as soon
a the future Is clear they are counted upon
to be In the market in force. Should com
petition become keen for the few choice hops
that are left, the effect will very soon be
area on prices.
TVFtHAT MARKET PTE AO Y BUT QUIET
Boswd ef Trade on Friday Will Pottle Ques
tion of Trading; to Future.
Wheat was steady yesterday but very
quiet, and until after the election It Is
probable btwinesa will be slack In this and
in other grain lines.
The posting of futures was resumed at
the Board of Trnde. but the attendance
was small and no business was transacted.
A meeting of the rrain department Is
scheduled for Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
when It will be decided whether or not
they will eliminate t re ding In futures. The
meeting msv also decide the fate of the
Board of Trade as a grain exchange, for if
the members, by keeping away. Show no
more Interest In the Institution .than they
htv of late, there will be little chance of
continuing It In operation.
Th grain department of the Merchants
Kxchanjre will be opened early next month
and a number of the grain dealers hare an
nounced that they will support It. It is not
possible for both of these institutions to
rr.t and the one that receive the real
support of the grain dealers will be the
gratn exchanxe of Portland. -
An offer to sell ADO tons of bar!ey at

STOCK PRICES SAG
Downward Movement Due to
Professional Causes.
LIMIT HAD BEEN REACHED
Enormous Holdings Awaiting an
Opportunity for Liquidation.
Kffcct of the Steel
Trust Report.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. Th downward
raoT.TTier.t or prtc. of stock, khi commonly
attributed to the efforts of the professional
element. The supposition current In the
financial alstrlct of the extent of th. specu.
lative holdings which are waiting . oppor
tunity for liquidation reach such formida
ble figure, that misgiving, axis, of the suf
ficiency f the expected new demand to ab
sorb this stock and maintain prices.
The response of the market to the quar
terly report of the United States Steel Cor
poration was the immediate occaelon- for this
process of reasoning; of the professional
speculative mind. The earning, for the quar
ter proved larger than the preliminary esti
mates heard yemsrday in Wall street. The
Increase In untitled orders on hand of 100,000
tons over the previous quarter', end, while
moderate in amount, wa. distinctly encour-
aa-inpr in It. proof of betterment in the trade
as showing- the first diminution In this Item
which has been Kolng- on llnoe the decline
began from the high mark of December 31
1&06. The showing might be claimed, there
fore, as fairly up to and rather exceeding the
speculative anticipation.
The termination of the political campaign
is a favorable factor on which the market
has moved for several weeks. On that occa
sion so near at hand It was argued that the
deferring of profit-taking until the event was
hazardous and in view of the Indication af
forded by the effect of the United States
Steel Corporation's showing that influential
holders of stocks were Inclined to dispose
of them on favorable opportunities
Comparisons of the present pri:. of United
States Steel with that In pros jerous times,
when paralleled with a similar .comparison of
the corporation's business, also showed some
discrepancy. United States Steel sold to
day at while the high price in January,
19"7. In the high tide of the trade's pros
perity, reached only 60H. There I. ex
planation found in these comparisons for the
feeling that found plac. in the speculative
sentiment of the day that the Improvement ln
prices of stcK-ks possibly had gone far enough
to full represent th. restoration that h.
occurred In values. It was this feeling that
accounts for the sagging tendency- of prices.
although United States Steel stock ltoelf
moved very sluggishly ln the downward
movement.
. The copper industries gav. way more
sharply, although the pric. of the metal
was marked up again at the local metal ex
change. - Foreign markets were made more
cheerful by the peaceable views expressed
by the Emperor of Germany la a reported
Interview.
Bonds were irregular. Total soles, par
Talus. $3,315,000. United Slate bonds were
unchanged on call.

Narrow Fluctuations in Wheat
Prices at Chicago.
MARKET IS NOT ACTIVE
Conflicting Crop Damage Reports
From Argentina Puzzle the
Traders Sentiment Bear
ish Most of Day.
CHICAGO, Oct :. Trade ln the rrheat
pit today lacked the activity which charac
terised yesterday's session, and sentiment
during; the greater part of the day was
bearish. At the opening, prices were Kg
to ,o lower than the previous close and
aftor fluctuating over, a range of barely
c throughout the day they were at the
close almost at the exact point where they
were when tradlnff began. The Argentine
situation was a puzzle to local traders and
news from that country was conflicting. One
report claimed that the damage to the
wheat crop by frost covenad about 25 per
cent of the total wheat area of the coun
try. The extent of the damage, however,
was not stated. Other dispatches placed
the Injury all the way from 5 to 20 per
cent of the total crop. More rain was re
ported in sections of the Southwest and al
though some reports wena received stating
that the new-sown crop in many places
still lacked sufficient moisture for proper
growth, the majority of the traders here
wene inclined to be bearish. Settlement for
cash wheat in the Northwest was generally
actlv. and Duiuth reported considerable
wheat "worked" for export.
The corn market closed Arm, displaying
moderate weakness early in the day. Final
quotations were unchanged to He higher
compared with yesteruay s close. incum
ber closed at 63 635.C and May at 63ttc.
Oats were easy the entire session. De
cember clofwd at 49o and May at 4950o.
Provisions were inclined to weakness,
owing to liberal receipts of live hogs at
W-estern packing centers. At the close
prices were a shade to 12 He lower.

STAND CHAINED TO DGKKEY
THIS IS PEXAITY SET IX BET
OX ELECTIOX.
Loser Between Sol Levr and J. R
Wilson Will Join "Jack," in
Window Display.
To stand on exhibition in a store
window at Third and Stark streets for
12 consecutive hours, chained to a
donkey, is the penalty of a wajrer on
the general result of the Presidential
election which was entered into yes
terday by Sol Levr, one of the pro
prietors of the Remington IJquor Com
pany, and J. R. Wilson, of Estaeada,
who was the proprietor of the original
nickelodion in Portland. Mr. Levr
took the Taft end of the bet while Mr.
Wilson has confidence enough in the
probable election of the Nebraskan to
assume the risk of making a public
exhibition of himself bound to the
mascot of the Democratic party.
Should Taft be elected Mr. Levr will
have the satisfaction of seeing his op
ponent stand in the store window of
Mr. Levr's place of business in ful
fillment of the terms of the wager.
Another bet reported at Republican
headquarters yesterday was that of
$1000 by E. Hays against 1500 for
Bryan. Mr. Hays declined to divulge
the name of the man taking the Bryan
end of the wagerj which was based on
general results. Mr. Hays did say,
however, that the bet was made a
month ago.
Thus far very little betting has
been done on" the result of the ap
proaching balloting, but so far as re
corded the amounts, while small, have
favored Taft on a basia of two to one.
RALLY IX SOUTH POKTLAXD
Three Democratic Speakers Land
Bryan and His Policies.
Steadfast and unwavering in their
belief that time yet remained for
them to convert the voters of South
Portland from the error of their way,
the Democrats last night invaded that
section of the city and held their first
meeting of the campaign at. Jones'
Hail, Front and Glbbs streets. The
speakers were State Senator M. A.
Miller, National committeeman for Ore
gon; E. S. J. McAllister, one of the
party's nominees for Presidential
Elector, and Judge Thomas O'Day. The
attendance of voters was good.
The principal speaker was Mr. Miller,
who charged the Republican, party with
all the ills with which the country had
suffered since 1S61, on the strength of
the assertion that since that date the
Democrats had been In charge of the
lawmaking body of the country only
two years. If anythlngwrong exists
with the administration of public af
fairs, he insisted that the blame be
longed to the Republican party. He
scored the Republicans for the fact
that at their National convention they
rejected the plank declaring for the
popular election of Senators. He also
criticised the Republican party for its
failure to enact legislation favorable
to the Pacific Coast, including an open
Willamette River. The failure of this
legislation, he said, was due to the fact
that the party was embarrassed by in
ternal factional quarrels.
Senator Miller alleged that under the
present administration the man worth
from $500 to $5000 was required to
bear the burden of taxation, while the
real wealth of the country did not bear
Its just proportion of the tax. He ac
cused the last Congress of having ap
propriated $1,500,000,000, or more than
one-third of the wealth of the country,
while the appropriations did not in
clude a single dollar for river and
harbor improvements. Referring to
panics. Senator Miller said the number
of failures in the first nine months of
1907 exceeded, those of the first nine
months ln 1893, a financial disturb
ance which, he declared, was due en
tirely to preceding Republican admin
istrations. Will Hold Bryan Rallies.

paign the Democrats of Multnomah
