THE
HIDES STRONG EAST
Tanners Are Anxious for Addi
tional Supplies.
FOREIGN MARKETS FIRM
In Spite of Conditions Elsewhere
Local Dealers Are Xot Getting
Many Orders, but Believe Nor
mal Trading M ill Resume.
Although the Eastern hide market, ac
cording to telegraphic and mail advices,
contlnuea strong, local dealers are finding
ome difficulty In netting ordera from
there. This Is an unusual state of affairs,
and they hardly Know how to explain It.
Some of them, are Inclined to believe that
the caution of the Eastern trade Is due In
some way to the election. If this h the
case, market conditions should be settled
very son and normal business restored. In
the meantln.e the buyers here are going
ahead slowly with their operations. not
withstanding the strength at Chicago and
elsewhere In t.e East.
The local market Is quoted now at 13 9
lj'-i cents on salted and 21922 cents on
dry hides. There Is no change In calf
skins, pelts are very strong. In sympathy
with the condition of the wool market. Dry
pelts are quoted locally at 13 cents.
Mall advices Just received from Chicago
say:
"Continued activity prevails In all hide
markets, both foreisn and domestic, and
tanners are apparently airxlous for supplies,
as additional advances have been obtained
over former high record levels. Sole leather
hides of all kinds are particularly strong,
with exceptional activity prevailing in do
mestic packer tske-off, and sales of these
for a week past will easily amount to an
other JOO.iKO hides. If not more, with con
tinued buying in advance of kill, and No
vember salting now closely sold up, as well
as October take-off. An additional advance
of lac has been secured on' all varieties
of brand. d. with sales of Texas ateers up
to ISc. for heavyweights, lT1c for light and
IT Vic for extremes. The latter price was
also reslised for branded cows, and butt
brands and Colorado brought 18c. and 17 c,
respectively.
"Country hides are also stronger, with
more activity. Buffs and heavy cowa are In
good demand at 16 Vic. and extremes at
16'c, with special selection sold at He
over these figures.
'South American hides are also sharing fn
the excitement generally prevailing, with
Buenos Aires dry quoted up to 30ic. and
31c. and sales of Bogotaa at 29c., Puerto
Cabellos at 2SXc. and Central Americans
at liSVic showing advances for all kinds.
Kiver PUlt wet salted frtgoriflcos have also
advanced sharply.
"Foreign and domestic calfskins continue
strong and In good demand, with sales of
choice Chicago city klna up to 1 Vic. and
advances asked for further supplies. Packer
kip have sold up to 19c. and ordinary coon-'
try kips command 18c
"At the monthly auction sale at Paris
hides advanced from S to 6 per cent."
INQUIRY FOR BEST GRADE OF HOPS.
Fanners Holding Choice Quality Ask Above
Current Market Price.
There was some Inquiry yesterday for the
best grades of hops, but this kind of qual
ity could not be found. The few growers
who have such lots are holding them over
the top market quotations. No sales of
lower grades were reported.
The California market was quiet, accord
ing to wires received, and English cables
told of a lack of demand for Pacifies.
Trade circulars of London hop factors
say:
Wild, Neame Co. There la rather
more disposition to entertain East and Mid
Kent growths. A fair trade has been done
during the week, the beat samples continuing
In demand at full rates while medium
grades are a somewhat slower market.
Thornton. Harryman & Matthews Trade
continues firm. Many good sized lots of
medium quality have been sold during the
last few days at 110s to lids per cwt.. and
anything below these figures Is eagerly
sought after. Choice bops are scarce and
command full values when offered.
Manger & Henley The demand of the
past we?k has been of a healthy character
and soire strong business has been done.
Prices remain steady and firm.
W. H. and H. La May There la a good
trade doing at current rates In all descrip
tions of English hops.
OATS FIRM, C.B.UN MARKET FEATURE.
Large Lot Sells at Seattle at f.?7 Wheat

There has been no Improvement yet In
the whest situation. buyers and sellers
are not particularly Interested In the mar
ket, and when they are. are apart In prices.
Oats are the firmest feature of the grain
merket. Choice white oats are quoted here
at S.:0. and a large lot sold at Seattle
yesterday at 27.K. The barley trade was
dull.

Market Is Weaker.
NEW TORE, Nov. 7. Non of the buoy
ancy which characterized yesterday's trading
In stocks was manifested today. Trading,
while much under the total of Wednesday's
session, was moderately large, but Its pro
fessional character was doubtless a source
of disappointment to those who had ex
pected the close of the political situation
night stimulate the demand.
Initial prices showed some material gains,
especially in St. Paul, the coppers ana
Pears-Roebuck. In fact. St. Paul later be--ame
the leader In respect of strength, witn
marked Improvement In the Harrlmans and
a few minor railers, Including Missouri
rscllic. ,
Pressure upon Reading and Steel resulted
In a general shading of prices later. There
was further marked weakness In Beet Sugar
and a sharp break In American Cotton Oil
because of the failure of an expected divi
dend. St. Paul was at Its best in the final hour,
when the general list became more irregu
lar. The money market was dull and weaker.
Most call loans were made at 5 per cent.

SPEED TO BE AIMED AT
EL-ECTIOX IiEGISLATIOX BEING
PIAXNED FOR OKEGOX.
Proposal Is to Start Count When 50
Votes Are Cast and Continue
It All Through Day.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 7. (Special.)
Legislation Is under consideration for
the next Legislative Assembly which
has for Its aim the early counting- or
votes at elections in Oregon, attempt
ing, as far as possible, to obviate the
long wait which Is necessitated under
the present system.
While much of the difficulty lies in
the long ballot, it is announced that
the major portion of the election re
turns probably could be received on the
night of the election if a new system
were to be established.
Under the present system the elec
tion boards do not start counting until
after the polls are closed. Under the
proposed plan they would start their
count when the first BO . ballots have
been cast in any booth and continue the
count with every 50 succeeding bal
lots. In this manner It is believed
that practically all precincts would be
counted within an hour or two after
the polls were closed.
It Is pointed out that In many of the
country precincts the counting board
is unprovided with any light but tal
low candles and that a board counting
In the daytime, starting fresh with the
regular Judges and clerks could count
three or four times faster than they
can count under present handicaps.
DRY FARMING SUCCEEDS
Great Yields of Wieat and Potatoes
Secured In Yonna Valley.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., November 7.
(Special.) The Yonna Valley is a
fertile stretch of land lying in the hills
northeast from Klamath Falls, distant
about 15 miles. It is a beautiful val
ley about IS miles long and from five
to seven miles wide. It was embraced
in the original plans for the reclama
tion of what was known as the upper
project of the Reclamation Service, but
has. not yet been watered.
The farmers in that section have not
been idle, however, waiting for water,
but have done their best with dry
farming methods. D. S. Tooker, one
of the farmers, reports an average of
37 bushels per acre for a field of tur
key red wheat, and it weighed 62
pounds to the measured bushel. Mr.
Brooks, a homesteader In the hills near
the valley, has a crop of potatoes on
his land, the first year's planting,
which promises 300 bushels per acre.
Deep plowing and thorough prepara
tion are given as the reasons for these
great' yields.
NEW MILLS FIND MARKET
Prairie City and Vicinity Can Use
All Lumber Turned' Out.
PRAIRIE CITY, Or., Nov. 6. (Spe
cial.) The new sawmill established
here this Fall is doing a large business.
The mill has been in operation only
two weeks and. though it is not yet
running at full capacity, is turning out
about 15,000 feet of lumber daily. At
present the plant is employing 10 men
at good wages. The owners expect to
run the mill to its full capacity of 20,
000 to 25.000 feet a day at an early date.
The logs are supplied by the Sumpter
Valley Railroad from a body of excep
tionally fine yellow pine timber.
A well-equipped planing mill Is also
in operation. A large part of the out
put of the two plants will find a home
market in the building of the larger
Prairie City and in needed farm build
ings of the valley.

LATE BULGE WEARS OFF

CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Belief that a big

here before the close of navigation had a
bearish effect today on the market.
.Assertions tnat after January 1 there
would be a period 'of light receipts at pri
mary terminals, helped bring about the one

took place about midday, but the Influence
