A CTTE SHORTAGE IX TVKKKY MARKET
For First Time In History of Trade Jobbers
Forced to Buy From Retailers.
So acute waa tha shortage of turkey on
Front street -restarday that Jobbers, with
mttit orders to fill, were compelled to
kuy stock from retailers at retail prices.
There were several transactions of this sort
at fO cents.
As waa expected, receipts were very light.
One firm got 400 birds, but it had received
but little previously, and the other houses
got practically nothing. The high prloes
have naturally excited the country districts
and soms shippers offered what were really
Christmas turkeys, but it was too lata to
close with them.
The market, on what was tha last whole
sale day of tha season, opened strong at 25
cents and before noon turkeya were selling
at 27 .and 28 centa At the latter figure
come late orders were filled' for Seattle.
lAv turkey were quickly snapped up at
22H and 25 centa Everything else in the
poultry line was strong. Live chickens sold
at 15 cents, dressed ducks at 18 cents and
dressed geese at 17 H centa
There were no new developments in eggs.

Early Unfavorable Crop Reports Are
Contradicted Declines in the
Minneapolis and Du

CHICAGO. Nov. 23. Unfavorable crop
news from Argentina, which caused a strong
opening here, was supplemented by predic
tions of falling off In the movement of
wheat from Russia and by a decrease of
1.780.000 bushels In the European visible
supply for the week. These influences held
the market strong during the first half
of the session, pit traders and commission
houses being fair bidders. In the final hour,
the market yielded to quite general profit
taking, brought out by a dispatch from
Argentina to a local concern which dis
credited the earlier advices concerning
weather conditions In that country and

IWILWAUKIE CASE CLOSES
Decision on S-Cent Fare Matter Ex
pected in Six Weeka.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) The
case of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company vs. the Oregon State
Railroad Commission was argued in Su
preme Court today. This Is the case in
which the railroad company refused to
put a five-cent fare into effect betwoen
Portland and Milwaukle, as ordered by
the Railroad Commission.
A number of Milwaukle people were in
attendance on the hearing.
At the original hearing, about three
years ago, the Portland suburb objected
to tha payment of a ten-cent fare and
asked for a ruling giving them transfer
prlvlliges when their streetcars reached
the city limits. Their case was sustained
by Judge Galloway, of Marlon County,
and an appeal wae taken by the corpora- ,
tlon. A decision of the controversy is
expected in about six weeks.
