Speculative Buying Again Lifts
Wheat Market.
FARMERS VERY BULLISH
Club Bought at 83 Cents and l orly
fold at 8 1 Cents BlucMeni
Quoted Vp to 94 Cents.
Weekly Statistics.
A tronf and rather excited wheat market
: country points has resulted from the buy
trig by apuIfttor at rxtremo prices. Deal
ers her claim th prices are not warranted
bv th markets elsewhere, but other buyers
not hindered by this fart, and sr steitd
i Y raisin.; their bids. In anticipation of a
lilnhr market later that wi.l enable them
to unload at a profit.
Tho buying la not havy. but It doe not
requlr lanr operations at this stair to
keep farmers Idea buV!h. Club wheat has
been bought at 83 cents and forty-fold at
M cents. These prices ars about a rent
abovo tho export basis, and aro more than
millers or California operator care to ry
but as they cannot jret what for less, any
necessary orders have to he filled at thes
11 u res. Japanese buyrs will take red wheat
at 81 cents. Very little of the latter kind
t selllnjr.
Ulut-atnin Is quoted now at 03 to 01 cents,
and is hard to buy even at these prices, ow
ing to the small supply left In farmers'
hands,
Oats llnd "barley are stendy. Offrncs are
sot large and tho demand In sufficient to
absorb them at current jr?ce.

ehecklns; up of unsold stocks In Oregon.
When the lifts In the hands of the Portland
dealers are completed today, they will be
sent to Salem for comparison with lists of
the trade there, and the final result should
be known In a few dayi. As far as the work
has progressed. It shows a larger stock In
first hands than some of the buyers had
expected.
The market le holding steady and a good
Inquiry from the East Is reported at current
prices. The opinion prevails that bottom has
been reached.

ley lot of 14S bales at Independence at 20
cents. George Lewis h:ia taken in the
Whiteman crop of 17 bales at Jefferson at
21 cents. It uas rt-r-orted that T. A. Llvesley

leh Hupply of .! ;'anre Orunges Is on

Navel orange are leaning up well at 92.23
6 3 and as the supply rolling Is not large,
the market Is In a good position. Japanese
oranges are selling well at 91.ir d a
bundle and at $l.rV for large boxes. A
shipment was received yesterday and another

There were no new developments In the

BfTTKK THICKS ARB BEIXO SHADED
Increase In Prxxluetioo I. Noted and Market
la I neettled.
There has been some shadlns; of city
creamery butter prices as a result of the
better supply now of ferine, and the tone of
the market Is unsteady.
Ekss are weak and tending lower, as re
ceipts ar. acaln Increasing-. On the street
40 and 41 cents was quoted.
Poultry arrivals were moderate and prices
were firm on chickens. There was a rood
aupply of dressed meets, especially pork, and
the market was steady.
AH Potato Markets Are Weak.
Potato markets are weak at ail points on
the Coast. Local growers are not offerlni
ireely. and this haa prevented prices fr.m
recording; a further decline. The an
Francisco market is demoralised by the
heavy stocks on hand. Idaho potatoes are
being offered now at C5 cents. whU-h Is a
drop of 10 cents. It Is not expected that the
market will -Improve before the end of the
year.

to Honrs ef Service.
SALEM. Or, Iec. . (To the Editor.)
I want to beff t&ace in your valuable
paper for an appeal to the public on
a matter of much more importance than
many as yet think.
It is the matter of early holiil.iy
shopping. There are very few who
have not heard the appeal from many
sources before, but nmny. very many,
have not been moved by it as they
should.
As Labor Commissioner, charired
with the protection as far as possible
of the workers of Orecun, 1 add my
voice to the appeal to every one to
shop early.
Do your shopnins; early in the
month, early In trio week, early in the
day. Observe all three of these Im
portant points and you will do Justice
and mercy that will bo appreciated by
thousands of overworked saleswomen
and salesmen, and by thousands more
who realize the importance of such
rtton.
8hop early and In broad daylight.
Don't allow yourself t lancer with
the thoughtless throns; after ti e even
Ins; shadows becln to fall. Do this and
the fervent "God bless you" will 5prlnu
from the hearts of tens of thousands
of shopgirls ready to collapse fro:n
the fatiicue of the day of the hardest
kind of work.
Have you sy Idea of the work of
both brain and body of the average
saleswoman, particularly in the city or
larger town? I dare say you have not
not one In SO of you. On their feet
all day. runnlns; hither and thither,
harassed by the whim and often by the
rebuke of all classes of men and wom
en In all stasres of nervous tension. A
more fatisrulnir occupation Is unknown.
Think of It. please, and lend your rea
sonable assistance by formlnir habits
that will add Just as little as possible
to the general strain.
It Is. at these rush seasons when the
Incentive is itreatest to break the law
frovernlns hours of employment- And
this is natural. Merchants strive to
please their patrons and to accommo
date the public In every way. Surely
the public, also, has some responsibil
ity. If the law Is violated, those
charged wth It enforcement must act
or be Justly censured.
