THE 3TORNTNG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1914. It v NURSING HELP GAINS Prospects for Financial Aid Are Declared Promising. APPEAL IS MADE TO PUBLIC Funds Are to Enable Association to Provide Attention for Poor Per sons and Membership Is Within Keacb of All. "Plans for the financial relief of the Visiting Nurse Association have gained wonderful momentum during the past week." yesterday declared Mrs. Robert G. Dieck, chairman of the general committee, in charge of next Monday's campaign, with confidence in the suc cess of the appeal for aid made to the public Several meetings were held yesterday In which the committee members, Mesdames Dieck, Honeyman and Mon tague, addressed gatherings. Every where they met with enthusiasm. Thousands of letters were mailed yesterday to Portland residents who are believed to be friends of the poor, and in this way it is expected to reach many who otherwise might not get an opportunity to make their dona tions. The committee is confident that these letters will accomplish some thing in a tangible way, bringing in many subscriptions. Memberships are offered as low as ?3 a year and few people, the workers believe, will feel they cannot afford to give that much to the aid of the helpless poor of the city. Clubs and Civic Bodies Aid. The membership cards sent through the, mail should be passed aDout o J" the recipients among their friends that ' .tti.r. mav have the onnortunity to mnkii their donations. Clubs are taking up the matter with Interest and Portlands leading civic organizations have all pledged their help to the cause. The East Side Business Men's Club is one which is particularly active at the present time, members giving much time to the furtherance of the work. A .iniihle aDDeal Is made by the Visit- Inir Nurse Association. It is not the poor for whom the money Is to be spent but for the poor that are 111. Pitiable as may be the condition of a poverty-stricken family, it is declared, it is made still more pitiable by the presence of sickness. Booths to Open Monday. On Monday booths are to be opened lu the downtown district by women of Portland, where membership cards will be sold. They will be offered at ,10. ,5 and ft a year.

Wheelwright CLUB PROTESTS ACTION East Side Business Men Would Keep Branch Water Offices Open. Representatives of. the East Side Business Men's Club appeared before Commissioner Daly yesterday and en tered a protest against closing the East Side branch water office and the Albina water office. The closing of these two offices has been ordered by Commis sioner Daly because he says it will mean a saving of ,200 or ,300 a month and will not cause any Inconvenience towater-users. It was contended by the East Slders, Uncudlng L M. Lepper, W. H. Markell, H. L. Camp and H, F. Cover, that if the city abolishes the offices, collection of 'the rental now paid at these offices would be made at the branch offices of the American Express Company and the city would have to pay a large amount for collection, the arrangement with the company being the payment of 1 per cent of all rentals collected. It was said also that the abolishment of the offices would hurt the business of merchants who gain trade because per sons go that way to pay their water rental. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Eaton S.

Cottage Plan May Be Adopted for Housing Women In Custody and Architect Selection Near. The first step in plans for the es tablishment of a detention home for women was taken yesterday when the City Commission unanimously appro priated $8000 for the purchase of 31 acres from H. C. Campbell directly west of the Multnomah County Poor Farm. Mr. Campbell has presented his abstract and the title has been found to be clear. The sale of the property will be closed within a short time. Through the deal the city getB a tract sufficient to meet all needs for the proposed detention home. The land is cleared and under cultivation with one house, water rights, good railroad and wagon facilities and other con veniences. Those who have investigated the proposition say the city got a bargain in the purchase. The tract was bought after committees of city officials and business men investigated this tract and 20 acres owned by the county nearby, and found that the Campbell tract could be used more economically than the county tract. Arrangements will be made as soon as possible for preliminary plans for buildings. The Council last December set aside $15,000 for the home, which, deducting the $8000 for the site, leaves $7000 in the fund. Mayor Albee said yesterday that he will ask the budget committee this year to set aside pos sibly $15,000 more with which to erect the buildings and complete the project. It is probable the cottage plan win be adopted. The idea is used in a num. ber of other cities and Is said to De a success. The cost of buildings will not be known until an architect has made an investigation and the Council has decided definitely upon the style and number of buildings to be erected. The detention home plan was origi nated by the Portland Vice Commission, which suggested it after a lengthy investigation. The proposition was presented to the voters at the primary election a year and a half ago and was adopted by a large majority. The pur chase of the property and the making of other arrangements la in conformity with the vote of the people. BOYCOTT SIGNS PBOVOKE BUSINESS MEN WANT "BJIFAIB" BANNERS TAKEN OFF STREETS. Hearing: Before Commission Thursday to Thresh Out Question for Both Employers and Labor. War is to be made by business men of the city against the "boycott" ban ners which are being flaunted in front of several business places informing organized labor that the place is "un fair" and should not be patronized. Upon request of a number of busi ness men, members of the Employers' League, the City Commission has ar ranged for a meeting next Thursday afternoon at which the subject will be considered. It is proposed to have the Council pass an ordinance prohibiting the signs. It will be contended by business men that the practice does the city a great deal of harm and should not be tolerated. It will be contended also that the Central Labor Council, which finances the "boycott" campaigns, can find other more satisfactory means of informing labor that certain institu tions have done things which do not conform to the Ideas of the labor in terests. It is said that men carrying boycott banners have paraded in front of some of the business houses of Portland for years. In other cases the practice has been kept up for months at a time. It is said also that Portland is one of the very few cities in the country that tolerates such practices. It is probable seech an ordinance will be fought by the Labor Council, even though it is understood that some of the members do not favor the boycott plan :ts it is carried out. The ordinance prohibiting the practice probably will be prepared after the meeting of Thursday, at which the proposition will be discussed in every detail. TUBERCULOSIS MUST GO Federal Co-operation Sought by Ore gon to Stamp Out Disease. Co-operation of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry in stamping out tuberculosis from cattle in Oregon is urged in a letter being sent to the Oregon members In Congress by officers and-members of the Oregon Jersey Cat tle Club. The letter has been written following the adoption of a resolution at a recent meeting of the club favor ing tuberculin testing of cattle. It is .said that the Federal Govern ment sent inspectors to Oregon to test cattle several years ago, and that great inroads were made. It is the desire of the cattle-raisers that the work should be continued. The Bureau of Animal Industry, for lack of funds, has with drawn its inspectors. Members of Con gress are urged to have the Bureau resume its activity. HOP ORDERS COMING Demand Now Is From All Parts of Eastern Country. EXPORT TRADE NOT OPENED American and English Markets Are In Strong Statistical Position Because of Cessation of Ex ports From Continent. The hap market is slow In opening up, but there are, nevertheless, orders from all parts of the East. There la export Inquiry, but no foreign business has been worked yet. McNeff Bros, yesterday bought 200 bales of the new crop, and other dealers were bidding 18 cents for fuggles in the Harrlsburjr section. While the early market may show a sag ging tendency, because of the abnormal trade conditions in all parts of the world, It Is likely the later market will be firm, when Its strong statistical position asserts itself, in the meantime, with the European war raging, general conditions could not be more uncertain. In a statement just Issued by Cattley Gridley & Co.. one of the largest hoo firms in London, they say: "The international crisis through which ve are massing must undoubtedly affect the iod trade In many ways and, although at present the future Is uncertain and the har vesting of the crop will not be general for another ten days, we consider the time has arrived when we should give you a prelimi nary opinion upon the situation. We are glad to report that in England so far pros pects are excellent, both with regard to quantity and Quality, and should favorable weather continue we anticipate that the total crop may approach and perhaps exceed 400.000 cwt. We do not consider there will be any difficulty in harvesting the crop, although some little ''delay and Inconve nience may occur in certain districts in Kent, where a good many troops are quar tered, lu other districts there appears no likelihood of difficulties In any way. On the Cuntinent of Europe, although crops, so far as we know, are progressing favorably and under normal conditions would be not only ample for their home consumption, but leave a substantial bal ance for export, we see no prospect at pres ent of such being sent out of the country, even If they are picked, which is doubtful In some districts. "In America, with ordinarily fair weather, there should be considerable surplus which will eventually find its way to the English market In spite of the absence of Conti nental exports to America during the com ine season. "With regard to the market and reserve stocks, they are much smaller than usual. During the past month a considerable clear ance has been effected in the English and Pacific Coast hops on this market at grad ually advancing rates. Old hops of all kinds are scarce, and this particularly applies to English. We are not able at present to form a very definite opinion as to the future. The outlook seems to show that there will be no scarcity of hops grown and Imported into England for the full require ments of the brewing: trade. At the same time It appears likely that the margin of surplus is likely to be a small one. A similar view is taken by O. Gascoyne & Co.. another London firm. They say "It may safely be assumed that there will be no Imports this season from Saaz, Spalt. Hallertau, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, or Alsace. As regards Belgium, the district of Alost is already within the theater of oper ations of the rival forces, and we fear that under the most favorable circumstances large portion of the produce of this district will bo wasted. The country round Poper inehe and across the border in French ter ritory, at present lies outside the field of battle, and it is possible that the small con tracts made from this district may bo duly completed. We do not anticipate, however, that there will be any material exports be yond those delivered under the above con tracts, and. as there are no old stocks In Belgium, the balance of the crop will prob ably be required for home consumption. "America will be unable to import its usual supply of Austrian and German hops, and as the prosperity of America la likely to be enhanced by the war in Europe, we may look for a larger home consumption of their own hops, and a corresponding de crease In their exports to this country. "We shall, therefore, be thrown largely on our own resources. Fortunately, the present prospects of the English hop yards are for a crop of good quality, sound and free from blight. Sunny days and warmer nights, from now to picking time, are the requisites needed to ensure the satisfactory development of the fruit. "As a preliminary estimate, the crop may be put at somewhere in the neighborhood of oSO.000 cwts., and as compared with re cent years. w!ll probably approximate most nearly to 1912, but this diiierence, tnat in 112 the United Kingdom alone held a sur plus in hand at the beginning of the season as large as that carried today by the whole world, and every consumer recognises that the stock of hops held today by all brewers is the smallest on record." On the London market yesterday, pacific hops were quoted at 80 to 112 shillings, eaulvalent to 17.14 to 2-1 cents. WHEAT BCYIXG LIMITS ABE REDUCED Club Sells on Merchants Exchange at 96 Cent- Oats Are Steady. Some of the local wheat buyers reduced their limits a cent yesterday, in view of the weaker Eastern and foreign markets, but country reports again were of full prices being paid at several points. Farm ers are still holding back. At the Merchants Exchange session 5000 bushels of club were bought at 96 cents. This was the same price that wa bid en Thursday. The best bid at the close yes tfrdav. however,' was cents. Bluestem was 2 cents lower at $1.03 on bid, but former prices were offered for forty-fold and red. One hundred tons of oats changed hands on the exchange at $28, an advance of a quarter over the bid price of the preced ing day. The demand for barley and mill feed was light and lower prices were offered. Weekly foreign wheat shipments were: This Wk. Last Wk. Last Yr.

Bradstreet's will say tomorrow: Hope of better trade looms larger than do actual transactions, and except in a few Western centers, the trend is tempered by conservatism, with dullness prevailing m the South. Fall festivities at numerous points have made for somewhat heavier buy ing, but the improvement thus reflected is oniy relative, and in industrial lines the pace of operations is slow. a vet American merchants are groping for foreign markets, and while progress may hf made in that direction, me situation i still one of promise rather than performance. It is conceded that tunaamentai conditions are sound, crops being of excellent volume, and that ultimately crop money will make itself felt, but on the other hand, rates for money check enterprise, while high prices or as in the case of cotton, too low prices, hamper buying and tend to further cement buyers to the policy of awaiting develop ments before ordering liberally.

CHICAGO. Sept. 11. Wheat prices tJy failed to maintain a rally which started after the market had fallen to a level II cents a bushel under the high point of Sat urday last. The close was nervous at tna same as last nlaht to cent down. Corn finished a shade to . cent off. oats with a (rain of 4 cent to H cent, and pro visions varying from 40 cents decline to an advance of $1.10. Bearish advices from Liverpool had con siderable to do with forclnit weak holder, of wheat here to drop out. Sui.pliee were said to have become so abundant at the British port that storage room was about exhausted. It was also asserted that French demaml was at an end for the present. A quick recovery ensued, due in part to the fact that country offerings had fallen ort sharply during the recent drop in prices. On the rebound, wheat buyers backed away, and offerings Increased. In the end. all gains had been wiped out and for the de ferred deliveries. to ic besides. Corn, like wheat, felt the effect of a smash In prices at Liverpool. Wet. cold weather in the domestic belt, though, proved nearly an offset later, especially after wheat had a temporary renewal of strength. Oats sagged with other grain at the start, but subsequently bulged on account of sea board dispatches telling of foreign govern ments buying a million bushels or more in the last two days.

Washington and Fourth Street. LADD & TILTON BANK Capital and Surplus Commercial and ISSUE WANTED Broad Demand for New York City's Big Loan. OUT-OF-TOWN CALL LARGE Many Foreign Holders or Maturing ites May Take Their Share of New Issue In Place or Cash for Old Paper. NEW YORK, Sept. 11. The progress of the new $100,000,000 city loan over shadowed all other domes! lu financial de velopments today. The broad demand from out of town Indicted that a very small amount would be left for public offerings. Moreover, it is believed that many foreign holders of maturing notes, attracted by the higher Interest yield, are likely to take their share of the new iaaue Instead of cash for the old notes. The week's shipments of foodstuffs, while considerably ' under .the preceding week, were fully one-third larger than In the cor responding week of 1913. That the cotton situation Is assuming a more acute phase, however, may be Judged from the fact that the Legislatures of some of the Southern slates are to hold special sessions lr meet conditions In thst com modity growing out of tho European war. The known movements of money point to a material cash gain by the Clearlng llouse banks this wewk. The Increase la estimated at from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. Meantime, the paralysis of the financial markets 4s reflected In the further decresse m local, bank clearings, this week's decline aggregating 17 per cent. MensjUitlle buying continues of a cautious character, eelth an undertone of moderate optimism. There has been a better inquiry for commercial paper and a few loans, some extending Into 1916. sre reported, but as a rule banks are becoming Increasingly wary of long-time accommodation The London discount rate was unchanged, but money was said to be In greater supply. Private advices to the effect that ths ex change there may resume business soon end thst the bear fsctlon In the msrkct has begun to cover commitments were received with skepticism here. Among the day's routine Item, were tho August tonnage statement of the United States Steel Corporation, showing a very moderate increase In unfilled orders, and a further decrease In Idle car equipment, due to crop moving demands from the South and Southwest.
