15 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX. . TUESDAY. JANUARY 21, 1913. - 1 110 LINE IS Officials Bar Even Slightly Frosted Oranges. ENTIRE SUPPLY CUT OFF All Fruit Picked Before the Cold Wave In California Ha Now Been Sold Dealer SuRjrest Minimum Weight Ruling. Portland will mod be without rane. If the hemlth official, of thl city stand by thHr word to prevent the sale of any frosted fruit here. At a conternce of the author ities yesterday it was derided not to allow oranirea even iltfhtly touched by fro?t to be sold. This will mean the cutting off of the entire supply, as In a very short lime no early pick! can be had. The packing-houfes in California are now practically bare of oranncs that were gath ered before the cold wave struck that state. The cleaned-up condition of the supply shown by the fact that the few cars offered the local trade yesterday were made up of odds and ends of navels and seedlings of various sizes. Only one car of frosted oranges has reached PortJand so far. No attempt was made to sell the oranges here, hut the firm to whom the car was billed turned It down on Inspection. While the Portland wholesalers are stand ing pat against allowing this city to be made a dumping ground for bad fruit, they realize that unless some concessions are made, the public will have to go entirely without oranges of any kind for several months. They suggest that a minimum weight ruling be agreed upon, which will enable them to handle oranges only slightly touched by frost which are still of mer chantable quality. By placing the mini mum weight at 72 pounds to the box they believe the arrangement would be satisfac tory to all concerned. The average weight of first-class oranges is about SO pounds to the box.

There wero plenty of orders on the hop market yesterday, but no sellers. It was estimated that the orders on hand for prime goods were more than sufficient to take up all that are left in all hands In the state. The market here is completely blocked, and .It will require an advance In bids to start things. Elsewhere on the Coast there was more activity. In Yakima 400 bale were sold at 1SH cents to tho grower. California wires told of the sale of "50 bales of Saoramentos at li cents, with 1 cents bid for others Pern hard Blng writes from Nurcmburg, licrmanr. as follows: Our market was again rather active, with daily tranactions of 200 to :.X baleb at very firm and stiffening prices. Not onl was the home consumption a daily and strong buyer, but also a brisk demand on the part of the exporters is noted. To all appearances the latter are still short sellers on account of their ruinous contracts of last Fall, and are forced now to cover themselves under less favorable circum stances than before." Demand for Cheeee Is Better. The demand for cheese has become more active, and the local market is firmer. But ter is steady at the old price. Receipts of poultry and dressed meats were light yesterday, and the market wad firm at Saturday's prices. Eggs were In light demand and weak at urn-hanged quotations. talifwruU Vegetables sell Well.

COPPERS UNDER PRESSURE Brief fcpurt Due to Belter Minnesota Kate Case Had Been Decided. More Gold Engaged for lixport to Europe. NEW YORK, Jan. SO. The demand for stock, vr&s light today and moderate offer ing, were nufflclent to deprem price, of the leaders nearly to the lowest point of the present movement. The market was dull and trading dragged. The only lively per iod of the sfslon came In the early aftet noon. when for a few minutes there was excited trading on a rapidly rising scale of prices. The spurt was due to a report that the Supreme I'ourt had decided the Minnesota rate case favorably to the railroads. When It was discovered that this report was based on an error In the readlns of a. telegram, and that It was an Inconspicuous case In stead of the long awaited Minnesota case, which had been decided, prices fell oft as suddenly as they had risen and soon reached the lowest level of the day. On the tipward movement. Vnion Pacific gained 3 points and other shares 1 to 2. At the low point a number of the leaders showed recessions of I to 2 points, and Amalgmated at 70Si was at a new low quo tation for the movement. The copper ehares were once more de pressed, being Influenced adversely by the sharp break of the metal in London and reports of sales here as low as 10 cents. Steel also was under pressure, and theie was renewed weakness among specialties, which have been heavy recently. American Tobacco moved over a wide ranKe. rllng 7 '.i to only to fall back 8 points later. In the last part of the day thi- unusual activity In Rock Island securities. The common and preferred stock and the collateral 4s were weak, tn bonds losing 2. Reports from Western railroad managers indicated that the business momentum was unchanged and that traffic on the Western lines was being more than maintained. An additional engagement of 000.000 gold for Europe brought up the total for the movement to 0. 000.000. nnni were heavv. Total Sale. J.1.900.- 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

It was checked momentarily by purely local Influences, but was weak tliereafter. Lower cables, an increase In the visible as compared with a big decrease a year ago and increase of 2,500,000 bushels in the quantity afloat, and heavy world shipments were too' much for the prices.

While the corn market had the appear ance of heaviness, it was firm, as com pared with wheat, receding only H14c. Trade was dull. Receipts were heavy and the cash market stagnant. Oats were quiet and steady. Prices ad vanced early, but the gain was lost when wheat declined and the close was un changed from yesterday. Packers were still buyers of provisions, owing to the light receipts at primary points.

BondMiucn Sued to Force Payment for Defaulters and Deputy City Attovgiey Wants New Rule. Fear that all the good effects of the recent clean-up of Municipal Court cases on appeal in the Circuit Court may be lost by a reversion to former conditions, is express uy i.cuui., City Attorney Sullivan, upon whom devolves the "duty of seeing that the appeals are taken up promptly. Since two months ago when 100 cases were disposed of some of which had been on ippeal for more than a year, new ap peals have been piling up in the higher court and none has been set for trial. High hopes of havlng'ended a serious obstruction of justice were entertained when after much agitation, arrange ments were made by which it was understood that appeals from the Munic ipal Court -were to have right of way in the Circuit Court. Trior to this time, dilatory appeals had been the last resort of lawbreakers after being con- 1 t tV,,, court. with the frequent result that witnesses were gone or otner uiuicuilics nen. mc" before the appeal was heard. Knowl edge that a prompt hearing on appeal awaited them has deterred many at torneys -from taking their cases to the higher court on frivolous grounds since .ha Hfcr clPn-IlT. Six or seven cases are now waiting to be heard ana tnere nave oeen no trials in over a month. In addition the City Attorney has pending ten or more suits to recover from bondsmen in cases appealed from the Municipal Court and in which the penalty assessed in the Circuit Court has not been paid. In all of these, dilatory motions have been interposed and no progress has been made toward collecting the delin quent payments. In these cases, saya Deputy Sullivan, there is no possibility of a question as nhiiratlnn nf thi defendants to tu mi -- pay. and their refusal to do so exposes a condition, little better than that of former times when 'straw Donosmen were accepted. The prosecutor intends to take up with the court the matter of a closer examination of prospective bondsmen, not only with reference to their financial responsibility, but as to their character as well. - "It ought not be necessary for the WE INVITE YOUR ACCOUNT This bank offers as a basis of business con nection its record of success, conservative management, complete banking.equipment, prompt and courteous attention, and an in dependence -which permits of all business being considered strictly on its merits. .

COUNTY BALKS BRIDGE BILL City Attorney's Draft Fails to Get Sanction ot Court. The County Court has refused to con cur in a bill drawn up by the City At torney for presentation to the Legis lature placing under the control of the county for operation purposes all bridges owned or under lease by the city. The reason is that the county is not willing to assume the lease entered into by the city with the O.-W. R. & N. Company, by which the railway com pany gets practically 40,000 a year for the use of the upper deck of the new steel bridge. "We hate made no appropriation for the purpose of taking over this lease and could not pay the money even if the Legislature should saddle it on us in spite of our objections," said County Judge Cleeton. "Anyway, we think the price is exorbitant and. while we might not do better ourselves, still we would like the opportunity of trying. The city lease. I understand, runs for two years from last October. "In any event the county is going to give something and get nothing in this bridge proposition. AVe will operate the bridge and the city will get all the revenue from the car company. The county also will have to maintain the bridges. The bill prepared by the City Attorney would provide for the main tenance of the approaches by the county as well but we believe that these should be declared streets and their upkeep assessed against frontage property and have suggested an amendment to this effect." A measure was passed by the. peo ple at the election on November 2, turning control of the bridges over to the county and the measure prepared by the City Attorney's office is for the purpose of having the Legislature af firm this step FISHGRANTjJNNECESSARY Warden Fin ley Says $8000 Appro priation Will lie Used. Game Warden William L. Finley an nounced yesterday that the sum of $8000, appropriated by the last Legis lature, vetoed by Governor West passed again in the Senate and now before the House, is unnecessary for the establish ment of the Spring Creek hatchery 'n Klamath County.
