Tlh? MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. OCTOBER; 29, 1909.
COFFEE JS HIGHER
All the World's Markets Take
Strong Upward Turn.
CROP WAS NOT HEAVY
American Bucrs. Anticipating Low
or Prices, Were Mow In Pur
" tlinslns: and Were Caught
by Advancing Market.
The wftee markets rt th. mi have m th
lart six weeks taken a very mtvr.K turn up
wards. Lau season's crop wa a
heavy or.s. This season's crop was expected
to be mu-h heavier and In fart treea wer.
well loaded, but after the entree was hulled
and cleaned. Mt was- found that the berries
were murh smaller than the average, and this
lor.e reduce! the weight- cf the crop about
SO rr cent.
Fny'.air by the nnrumicit markets of the
' felted States was not heavy early In tba
aeaaon, but Kurope. belnit short. Immediately
! began to bur quite heavily. The United
' Etates anticipated lower price as aoon
Europe hid nr.i.hel buying, but the prices
i opened ahout 10 per cent higher than the
lowert rrl'-ea of last year and never receded
from that polat and have sine, then ad
TMrnl on rr.el!ura and high grades from 10
to IS per cent, showing an average advance
of at leant 20 rer cent on these grades over
last year.
The fnlted State prohibit the Importa
tion of the very lowest grades, and thla made
an Immediate scarcity early In- the season for
euch low grades an are now allowed to come
' Into the country, and these sorts have ad
vanced even more than the medium and bet
ter erode Owing to valorisation. Snntos
limits the .snorts- of coffeo and thla limit le
ipected to le reached about January 1. and
after that there 1 hardly any likelihood of
1 lower prloea. a the exporter will be com
pelled to pay 20 per cent extra export duty
rer any aairplu beyond the fixed amount.
Low-grade R'.o coffee bare advanced from
the beginning cf the evas-m fully 15 per cent
and atarted In about 10 per cent higher than
last year. o that the eame advance la main
rained In thee aa in Santo eottees. Much of
the Central American crop eold early thl
year at rather low price, but Immediately
Santo erode began advancing price f these
kind Jumped with them and In all but the
very higheat grade the advance ha been
fully 20 per cm over price paid early In
the year.
The crop outlook In Pantos Just now la ewld
to be quite poor. This, howejrer, 1 an old
alory and 1 seldom believed by the coffee
trade, but thl time, in view of the fact that
they have had two big crop, the probabllitlea
are that ths coming season's crop will be
much shorter, and all the chance are In favor
of higher prices rather than lower price for
coffees. This 1 not at all what was an
ticipated by the coffee trade of the world,
but at the some time It look very much like
somewhat higher prices for coffee than have
prevailed In the last five years.

SPIRIT OF CAUTION
Speculators Slow in Making
Commitments.
STOCK PRICES UNCERTAIN
Growing Dullness In Trading on the
Xew York Exchange Buyers
Turn to Low-Prlced Shares.
Bonds Are Irregular.
XEW TORK. Oct. 8. Growing dullness in
the speculation In stocks wu more notable
today than the tone of the market, which
was shifting and oneertain. Condition were
propitious for values and this Induced some
covering of outstanding short contracts. There
was little beyond that and tha day's business
In stodks and bonds was on . a diminished
seal.
There was the usual preponderance of deal
ings In United State Steel and there was a
oonsptcuoua divere-lon of such other activity,
as there was In low-priced stocks. This was
partly du to cause Individual to the stocks
affected and fartly to an argument advanced
by the professional element that the smaller
money requirements of a speculation In the
low-priced stocks would serve to recommend
them during a period of a etraltened money
market. (
A growing spirit of caution wa manifest
ed in the speculation. Bankers were In
clined to express more confluence that dan
ger of money stringency before the end of the
year had been averted. The opinion was
heard, nevertheless. In stock market circles,
that an attempt to revlv an active specu
lation at the present time would be frowned
upon by the larger financial powers.
The supply of money wa more liberal and
Interest rates were shaded both for call and
time loans.
The conclusion of the London stock market
settlement without failures was helpful to the
International markets. There wa an awakened
Interest In stock connected with the copper
industry and then were report of a growing
demand for the metal from some of the for
eign smelter. The excitement in. the cotton
market served to divert some speculative ac
tivity. The sharp decline la the price of
New York. New Haven Hartford, follow
ing the decision to Issue new stock to tock
holdsrs at 125. had a bad effect. With other
stock issues In prospect, the Inference from
this was unfavorable.
The bond market was pronouncedly dull and
price movements were somewhat erratic
where errorts were made to market Inactive
Issues. The tone was Irregular. Total sales,
par value. $2,929,000. United Slates bonds
were unchanged on call. 1

Kales of Cash Grain In the Southwest
and the Northwest Are De-
creasing Steadily Bulge
In Corn.
CHICAGO. Oct. 48. Wheat prices on the
Board of Trade fluctuated nervously over a
wide range today and closed at about th
highest point. Although receipts of wheat
at all primary centers In this country were
again liberal, reports from the Northwest
and Southwest claimed that sales of the
cash grain in the inferior were decreasing
steadily. Shorts and commission houses
were ,active bidders on all breaks, causing
rallies. A decline of d In the price
of wheat at Liverpool prompted some sell
ing early In the session, as did also a liberal
movement In the Northwest. A bulge in
corn and a report that 18 boatloads of wheat
had been worked for export were bullish in
fluences. December ranged between $1.04
and Sl.05 and closed strong, at H.05 is H
1.06.
The corn market displayed a complete
change of front today from that shown the
last few days, sentiment being unmistak
ably bullish nearly all day. December sold
between 6858Vio and 6o, closing
trong 4c higher at 69c.
Brisk shipping demand for oats caused
considerable firmness In the options, but the
volume of trading was small. The close wa
firm with prices up $c.
Provision were strong .all day and closed

VAR5ITYSQUAD IS LARGE
GAME WITH AVILiIiASfETTE WIXIj
BE LARGELY TRY-OUT.
Men of Eugene Are In Fine Shape for
Hard Game and Will Try to
Beat Multnomah's Score.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugrene,
Or., Oct. 28. (Special.) With a squad
of 20 players, or almost two men for
every position on the team, the Oregon
varsity squad will leave tomorrow evening-
for Salem, where It will play Wil
lamette University in its first inter
collegiate game of fhe season.
T,he Oregon men are in better condi
tion than they have been at any time
during the season, and are in shape
to put up a hard, fast game from the
blowing of the whistle. It is reported
here, however, that Willamette has a
strong eleven this year in spite of the
fact that many of the players are in
their first year on the team, and Coach
Forbes is preparing to take no chances.
Oregon hopes to beat the MethGdists by
at least as much as 11 to 0, the score
which the Multnomah Club, rolled up
against them in Portland two weeks
ago. As Multnomah plays Oregon at
Eugene on the following Saturday, the
comparative scores ,of the two games
will be watched with much interest.
Those who have been notified to go
to Salem on the first team squad are:
Mitchell and Kellogg, center; Gilles,
Storie, Harding and Batley, guards;
Pinkham, Main, Scott, Henderson,
tackles; Hickson, Kiltz, Dodson and
Michael ends; Captain Clarke and
Latourette at quarter; Sullivan, McKln
ley and Oliver Huston at . half, and
Walker, fullback. The only ones not
In the best of condition are Hickson,
who is somewhat under weight because
of too hard training, and Michael, who
is suffering from a slight injury re
ceived in practice.
Oregon will average about 185
pounds, and will go into the game with
the heaviest team in her history. The
Methodists are said to weigh about 165
pounds to the man. Captain Clarke
will probably be played at quarterback
for the varsity, at least during the
first part of the game. In the second
half, however. Forbes will probably
give nearly all the players a chance to
get into the game.
DOGGED SPIRIT WILLAMETTE'S
May Not Win From Oregon, but
Fight Will Be Hard.
SALEM, Or., Oct.' 28. (Special.) J.
G. Sweetland, Jr., coach of the Willam
ette football team, says, -while Wil
lamette may be defeated in the game
on Saturday with Oregon, the old
Methodist school will put up a fight
that will be worth seeing. There has
been a remarkable revival of college
spirit in the past few weeks, and the
outlook for athletics at Willamette was
never brighter than at this time.
The team is in better condition than
when the boys played Multnomah two
weeks ago. and a desperate effort will
be made to hold the score down to a
respectable size. Sweetland does not
consider the score so important, how
ever, as the fighting spirit shown by
his men. Recently 35 men have been
trying out, something almost unprece
dented in the history of athletics at
Willamette, and from this huge squad
Sweetland believes he has picked a
bunch that will before, long make a
Saturday's game will be played by a
team picked from the following: Cum
mins, captain; Rader, McMackin, Booth,
Black well, Wlnslow, Belknap, Reeves,
Westley, McKnight, Hamilton, Sullivan,
Lowe, Euster, Zimmerman, Gibson.
Freshmen Show Well.

University of Oregon will have a test
from now until after the close of tho
football season, when training for cross
country running will start. Trainer
"Bill" Hayward is non-commltal as to
what the recent Interclass meet revealed,
but says it showed several promising
new athletes in the freshman class,
though in much need of development.
Hayward was particularly pleased with
the work of Kuykendall, McClure and
Kreiger in the hurdles, distance events
and sprints.
KELSON'S MATCH IS SOUGHT
Powell-Frajne Fight Mar DeVelop
Future Champion.
BAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28. (Special.)
Lew , Powell and Johnny Frayne, both
San Francisco lightweights, are ready
for tomorrow night's 20-round contest,
which the fighters as well as the public
are hoping -will bring forth a boxer who
will have won the right to challenge
Battling Nelson for the title which the
Hegewlsh lad has Jjeld eo firmly since
he defeated Gans.
Each man has come up from the ama
teur ranks in San Francisco. Curiously
enough, it was on his last Eastern trip,
as well as the manner In whlcn he
A GENERAL

knocked out Young Corbntt, that estab
lished Frayne. Powell also has attained
comparatively recent prominence, his
last two fights having been won in a
style that has- heretofore been foreign
to Lew, and with the dash and punch
that bring supporters to a man In the
ring.
The absence of Frayne support in the
betting has knocked the price, down to
10 to 7, and it is reported there Is little
money being handled. Eddie Smith will
referee.

FROM MRS. OWENS-ADAIR
"
Writer "Whose Life Is Threatened
Wants Her Bill Made Into a I -aw.
WARRENTON Or., Oct. 28. (To the Edi
tor.) I am KratlJiad se tUe plain and
onHlble manner in which The ureKonisin
discusses the case of jltke NlchatU-li. tho
man who escaped recently from the Oregon
penltowtiary. N
When The Oregon tan Bays, 'We breed
criminals in this country, and will probably
continue to do so until Airs. Ur. Owens
Adair succeeds in Ketting hr sterilization
law on the books." It speaks to tne point,
most emphatically. 1 am thankful yes, mr
more than I can express for the support
given me through the columns of The Ore
Itonlan, knowing well that thousands upni
thousands turn dally to its columns for guid
ance. It is the newspapers and periodicula
that educate the masse, and thrcugh whicii
our government Is ronirollt-d. Yea, it is la
mentable that our Immigration iawa ore so
lux, allowing so many worthless persona to
prey upon us, bringing only discord and dis
sension. But when my bill becomes a law,
whioh it will, all such parasites as Mine
Nichatieh will iind homuq. outride of Oregon.
perhaps tK-Governor Chamberlain may
reer know the Rieat wrong he did when
lie vetoed my bill, thereby continuing pro
tection to criminal classes, oreguii honored
him by placing the great power of tne veto
in his hands, and he used that power against
the votes of -O Senators and ro .pre
ventatives, who had thought, discussea and
reasoned upon the great question air.oiiij
and with themselves and every man voted
his conviction. Nothing is truer than this
thought gives birth to the- act. Thought Is
the treat character-builder, both of tne In
dividual and the nation, leaner for good or
for bad. The trend of thought today in In
the right direction, and It behooves us to
cultivate the good and cruh the evil.
L-ast Winter one of th Inmates of the
Ort gon penitentiary said that he would
shoot me a soon as he completed hla last
two years' detention there, and that O'J oth
ers had made a like pledge. That threat 4
horn never cause 1 me tne U.sh of any sleep,
neither am I expecting a bullet. But should
a stray bullet find m 1 shall have the ex
treme satlNfartion of knowing that the law
will be enforced, and that 1 have nut lived
my Ufa In vain. Next year 1 expect to see
my bill a law. both In Oregon ind Washing
ton. I know thnt the women all over these
two great states, as well as the puru-mtndutl
men, are in favor of fhe measure.
