Top of the Market.
Th larpt crop of hop In OreRon. that
of C. A Mclaughlin. at Independence.
mounting to 1H hales. wjw wold yesterday
to Jack Carmichael. of Salem, representa
tive of Wigan. Richardson A Co.. of Lon
don, at I'i cents.
The news of the transaction caused no
little excitement in the local and Salem
trade. Aside from the magnitude of the
deal and the full price realized on the
lot. the fact that Carmichael is operating
was In ltelf of much intere-t. There have
been several rumors heretofore during the
season of Wlgan. Richardson & Co. buy
ing, but they proved unfonnded. and. so far
a known, yesterday" purchase was the
first made by Carmichael since the 1903
crop waa In the bale.
Wlgan. Richardson & Co. are the largest
hop dealers In the world, and they an
nually take many thousands of bales out
of this state. Carmiraaet's movements al
vtri havp more or lew effect on the mar
Itet. and his big buy at Independence nat
urally adrts to the strength of values. It
will probably make general buying less
eaiy for other dealers, especially in the
sections in which he usually operates.
The E. C. Horst Company continues to
buy fnr the foreign market. Agents of the
frm yesterday paid 8H cents for two lots
nt Independence, those of Sloper A Fatten.
80 bales, and Joe Hubbard. 82 bales.

One Thousand Toon of Barley and 500 Tons
of Wheat Change Hand.
Two good-sized grain deals went through
t the Merchants Exchange yestrday. one
of inoo, tons of barley and the other of 5K
t-ns of red wheat.
The market for coarse grains was very
firm. There was a good Oatlforn! demand
for oats, but it was difficult to buy from
first hands. KlTorts made to secure, sup
lMrs In the Xez Perce country, where a
reserve can usually be counted upon, were
unsuccessful. TYhlte oats were quoted in
the lo4-ai market on the basis of $:.! r.t .."0
per tnn. There whs also a goofl reqnlry
for bsrlcy. but offerings were very light.
Ked barley wan quoted firm at 26.3 per
ton
The wheat market holds Its own In spite
oT the h.-k of export demand. There is a
fair lx-t movement, with a better Inquiry
from California for strong cluh. milling
hlucstom and turkey red. Tables reported
cargoes steady but Inactive at .TTs fid. Op
tions at Liverpool were about steady. De
cember wheat at Chicago closed unchanged
from the previous day.

Y.KK Very Firm.
There have been very heavy receipts of
chickens for several days, and as buyers
are Inclined to hold back the market Is
weak around 1 2 1 cents. Some stock waa
carried over yesterday. The demand for
everything else in the poultry line was
strong and full prices were quoted.
Fgrs w ere active and very firm, with
strictly fresh Oregon stock quoted at 40
rents, though some sales were reported at
S74 cents. There la only a moderate sup
ply of Eastern eggs now on the market
and to this cause the nrmnees of the gen
eral market can be ascribed. As eggs In
the East are held at stronger prices, there
Is no likelihood of this market going hack.
There were no new developments In the
butter trade. Most of the city cream-erli-e;
are quoting cents on their best
make, but some are still nolding .at S3
cents. Outside creamery is being offered
rather more freely. Cheese prices were un-
changed.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET.
Trice Current Locally Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs.
Except In the case of sheep the supply
of livestock Is coining in sufficient for the
home demand and prices are holding steady.
Th quality of the receipts Is generally
satisfactory, most of it ranging from fair
to medium in grade.
Sheep arrivals, however, are under re
quirements and the market is. therefore,
strong in tone and tending upwards. The
supply in the country Is known to be light
and the scarcity is likely to continue.

CilAI GES NARROW
But Stock Prices Fluctuate
Constantly at New York.
VOLUME OF TRADE LIGHTER
Demand Evidently Satisfied to Some
Extent Artificial Appearance
of the Market Support
" Is Xot Aggressive.
NEW YORK. Nov. 19. A constant fluctu
ation of prices in the market was the prin
cipal feature of the dealings in stocks to
day. The fluctuations were narrower than
has been the rule of late and the volume of
dealings also waa smaller, the day s sales
falling to near the 1.000.000 share limit.
That the demand for stocks has been sat
isfied to some extent is indicated by the
diminished activity. While the operations
of the professionals have been a subject of
some suspicion and of allegations of manipu
lation to further the distribution of hold
ings, their decrease has a rather ominous
effect on speculative sentiment. The deal
ings have been attributed to the initiative
of' the large capital interests who were
credited with accumulating stocks far back
in anticipation of the growing demand
which has since developed. While a de
gree of artificiality was recognised in these
manipulative operations, they were accepted,
nevethless. as evidence of the continued
interest In the market of the capitalists and
institutions of first-class resources.
This was regarded as an insurance of
continued protection of prices by support
ing orders when any weakness developed,
and of fostering measures for extending the
advance in which the speculative followers
might hfe to benefit. The reduction of
this kind of activity leaves an apprehension
that the large operators have practically
completed their speculative campaign by
(.he -distribution of such part of their hold
ings as they desire to realize on. It is
feaned that the market will be left vul
nerable, therefore, to organized professional
attnek.
There were signs that support of prices
had not been abandoned today, but it was
less aggressive than -the recent rule, and
was facilitated by fhe covering of shorts put
out on the decline yesterday.
Tho day's news offered no explanation of
the price- movement. The board room
traders lay some stress on the announce
ment of an issue of $30,000,000 of Panama
Canat bonds as a possible around for the
selling of stocks. That transaction In itself
Is not calculated to disturb either money
or securities. It is likely, however, that
the large aggregate of requirements for new
capital, which are shortly to be met, will
prompt the transfer of capital from stock
holdings into the newly offered securities.
Such a movement occurred In Ix)ndon today
In connection with the highly successful
flotation of a f10.000.0iw Corean loan Under
Japanese auspices. The hanks expect hat
the growth of demand for capital in the
more fluid form of commercial employment
will affect the supply available "for specu
la'fve nurcha'-es in time also.
The state of the money market continues
easy. There Is a party In the speculation
which holds the conviction that the up
ward movement In stocks has overrun the
improvement In general conditions at
present In sigiit. Another reaction In copper
n t the loral metal exchange was an In
cldent of the kind dwelt upon fry this party.
I'p to this time there has not appeared any
agarresslve operations in the market from
such a party which has confined Itself to
a conservative attitude of refraining from
extension of the long side and to realizing
sales on all advances.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$4,204,0 00. t'nited States bonds were un
changed on call.

MRS. READ FACES CHARGE
Attorney Declares Woman AVho
Threatened Mrs. Pliipps Xot 111.
DENVER, Nov. 19. Information
charging Mrs. Allen F. Read with as
sault with intent to commit robbery
and assault with intent to do great
bodily injury in the attempt alleged to
have been made by her to blackmail
Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, were
filed in the Criminal Court today by
District Attorney George Stldger. Mrs.
Phipps is the complaining witness in
the attempted robbery case, and Detec
tive J. P. McDonald in the case of at
tempted dynamiting.
District Attorney Stidger discredits
the theory that Mrs. Read was drugged
or hypnotized by another I woman with
a powerful influence over her, and
claims that the accused woman is not
as sick as represented. Should the
court heed the plea that the woman
was rendered mentally unbalanced by
excessive use of drugs, the District At
torney will then insist, he says, that
she be confined in the criminal ward
of the county insane asylum.

Sharp Fall in Distant Option at
Chicago.
DECEMBER IS IN DEMAND
All Deliveries Are ' Lower , at the
Close Free Domestic Move
ment and Poor Cash Buy
ing Cause Weakness.
CHICAGO. Nor. 19. One of the principal
features of trade In the wheat pit was the
strenitth of the December delivery and the
heaviness of the May option. December
was In urgent demand by elevator Interests
and shorts while the more distant option
was subjected to liberal realizing sales. As
a result of this condition of affairs the December-May
spread narrowed to 4 c. com
pared vrith 4vc yesterday and the price oi
the December option advanced to a new
high level on the crop. One reason for
the weakness of the May delivery was the
relatively hieh price at which it was sell
ing here, compared with the rrlce In Euro
pean markets. The fact that European mar
kets with one exception, were weak was
partlv responsible for the heavy tone of
distant futures on the local exchange. A
cortinued free movement of wheat In this
country and poor demand for the cash grain
added to the weakness. Export sale-, wcrs
15 boatloads reported at New York. Later
in the day the December option lost its
strength, owing to profit-taking and the
market closed weaker. The May option
showed a net loss of M c. final quotations
on It being at 1.0TJ-1.07fc. and on De
cember ar SI OS1.
Corn displayed considerable strength the
greater part of the day, but weakned slightly
late in the session. At the sample tables
cash corn was i-c higher. The market
closed weak with prices a shade lower to Is
.hic higher, with December at and
May at 65 63 He.
Oats were firm. Cash oats at the sample
tables were steady to Ac higher on a Bod
demand The market closed steady with
prices hie lower to a shade higher. Final
quotations on December were at 4tH4c and
Mav. 5114c.
Provisions were weak all day. The close
was easy with prices a shade to H)i& l-&c

STRING LINE TO CASCADES
Government Will Build Telephone
for Forest Rangers.
Tha Government will build a telephone
line from Portland along the Mount Hood
wagron road Into the Cascade Mountains.
Edwin G. Am me, of the Oregon Engi
neering Company, will have chargo of
construction. Mr. Amme has already se
cured right-of-way through the Rhodo
dendron Resort, near the Tool-gate from
H. S. Rowe and I G. Holden, the owners.
The Government will extend this line
well into the mountains and It will be used
mainly to keep in touch with .the forest
rangers in the reserves in case of fire.
Heavy insulated wire will be used, so even
if knocked from the poles or trees it may
not be broken.
The Farmers Telephone Company, of
Multnomah and Clackamas Counties, will
also have a line from Sandy probably as
far as Government Camp, connecting at
the main points between Sandy and Gov
ernment Camp, and will likely use the
poles of the Government line. The Far
mers line now extends to Sandy, Before
next Summer these lines Till be finished,
connecting all these mountain resorts and
forest rangers with Portland. On the Gov
ernment telephone, construction will be
started in a short time.

WANT BRIDGE AT HANCOCK
Multnomah Improvement Club Will
Fight Broadway Location.
Multnomah Improvement Club will
enter on a campaign to have Hancock
street made the Kast Side landing of
the proposed new bridge for North Kast
and West Portland, and against the
Broadway location. At the meeting of
the club Wednesday night, in the hall
on Mississippi avenue and Shaver
street, the matter was discussed, and
the following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, By the Multnomah Improve
ment Club, that It considers that Hancock
street, on the East Side, the proper and
logical location for the proposed bridge for
the district known as Alblna. and that it
will accommodate the greatest number of
people, whereas a bridge at Broadway will
accommodate a limited territory to the
eastward, leaving out the great and grow
ing district toward the north; and be lt
further . .
Resolved. That this club take such action
as may be considered best to have the
bridge built at Hancock street.
Remarks were made by Dr. L. M.
Davis, N. D. Beutgen. R. B. Metcalfe
and others, who declared that the ma
jority of the people in Albina and the
Peninsula favor Hancock street, and
would so vote if 'given a chance. The
bridge committee, Dr. L. M. Davis, N.
D. Beutgen, R. B. Metcalfe,' W. H.
Payne and M. E. Thompson, was con
tinued. This committee will endeavor
to have the matter of location sub
mitted to a vote of the people, as the
City Council would refuse to take ac
tion favorable to Hancock street.
The club adopted a resolution ask
ing the City Council to grant the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company
a franchise on Patton avenue.

and if we are to continue in the possession
of present blessings we must ward off the
proud spirit of impious self-sufficiency and
be duly thankful to him from whom ail
blessings now. ,
Let the faithful of the archdiocese, then,
give heed to the spirit and purpose of
Thanksgiving day. We suggest ' the pro
nrietv of holding solemn services in all
parish churches at convenient hours on that
day, and of imparting such instruction as
will awaken sentiments of gratitude for the
temporal blessings which we. as a Nation
and as individuals, have been permltd
to enjoy.
Extending to you, dear father, and the
faithful of your parish, my best, wishes for
a day of joyful thanksgiving, I remain,
etncerely in Christ.

KELLY BUTTE STRIKE ENDS
riUSONEKS AT COUNTY UOCK
PILE KETCH X TO WOKK.
Men Subdued by Hunger and Al
leged Hctrayul by Their
Leaders.
Subdued by hunser and angered by al
leged betrayal by their leaders, the strik
ing prisoners at Kelly Butte resumed
work yesterday, after 48 hours of defi
ance and of abstinence from food. The
men conveyed to Superintendent Briggs
Wednesday afternoon the information
that the revolt was ended, that they were
willing to resume work, and were given
their iirst meal since Monday. Yesterday
the entire number of striking prisoners
resumed their labors. 0
They accuse Superintendent Brigss of
denying them food of any kind during
their period of defiance and refusal to
work. From Monday until yesterday,
when they yielded, they declare, they
were given no food whatever, and lived
on water alone. Superintendent Briggs
declares that he gave them bread during
that period, but denied them other food
until they agreed to resume work.
Two of the alleged leaders of the re
bellion were incarcerated in the "black
hole" Wednesday when the striking pris
oners announced their willingness to go
back to work. One of the unfortunates
is the judge of the "Kangaroo Court"
that is a feature of Kelly Butte; the
other is accused of having started a riot
during the period of strike of the pris
oners.. "From ilonday until Wednesday after
noon we had no food whatever," said one
of the strikers who was freed yesterday,
having served out his time. "Superin
tendent Briggs says be gave us bread
and water, but he only permitted us to
have water. It was hunger that drove
the men to submission and charges or
betrayal also had a good deal to do
with it.
"It was charged that certain of the
men who advised against the strike 'were
getting food on the side, and the other
men resented it. One of the men so
charged was the judge of the 'Kangaroo
Court that sits at Kelly Butte and con
demns all new prisoners to sweep tho
floor and do other menial tasks."
