TTTK MORNING OREGOXIAX, WAR CAUSES DROP N " PORTLAND TRADE Sales of Various Kinds Slump Though Postal Receipts Gain During Depression. ALL SCHOOLS ADD NAMES Really Market Suffers, Cupid Takes Vacation, but Mater, Light, Gas and Telephone XTsers Are on Steady Increase.- ' As might have been expected at the time;jof a. great war, a glance at the business statistics of Portland for the month which closed yesterday shows that in nearly all respects the totals are not so favorable as for the corre sponding month of last year. Those figuring on the favorable side of the ledger are postal receipts, postal savings bank deposits, flour and hay re ceipts and school enrollment. In addition it should be remembered that nearly 4000 more telephones are in use in PiJrtland than In September, 1913, that there are more than 3000 more light and power users. 3000 more gas users and nearly 2000 more water users. ltralty Transactions Slump. On the opposite side of the ledger are found the .number and volume of real estate transfers, number and volume of building permits, number of new residences, bank clearings, wheat, barley and oats receipts, stockyard and export receipts and marriage licenses. The receipts from stamp sales at the Portland Poseofllce show an increase of about 1 per cent over the same month of Jast year. The receipts for Septem ber. 1914, were estimated last night at S100.1U0, as against J96.25ti.52 lor last year, or an increase of $3844. The statistics on postal savings re cord an increase for the year of 3o per cent.; The net deposits for the month of last year were $29,105, as compared with ?3S,289 during the past month, the gain being $9164. Hank ClenrluKH lleireme. 'Although the bank clearings for the month just cloved were more than $ii,000.00o short of the showing for the same month of last year, they are larger than for any month since April of this year, when a total of $57,520,-u-7.:;;; wis reached. The showing tor September. 3911. is $48,423,865.18, as compared with $54,837,898.36 for the coiuesponJing month of last year. A contributing factor to the decrease whs the recent consolidation of the commercial banking business of the l-'n-sl National and Security Savings & Trust Banks. All of the commercial banking business that formerly passed between these two banks through the clearing-house now is handled by the new First National Bank direct, and these items no longer show up in the clearing-house figures. If marriage licenses are any cri terion of prosperity, Portland has suf fered a slight slump. This year dur ing the month of September only 181 permits were given to wed, as com pared with 205 issued during Septem ber, 1-913. Permits to Hulid t'tn. During the month just closed, 441 building permits were issued calling for a total expenditure' of $307,640 on construction in Portland. For Septem ber last year there were 667 permits, amounting to $1,621,005. This Septem ber there were 84 new residence per mits, totaling $182,100, as compared ,with 146 residences costing $326,7S5 .during September, 1913. ' V In the month of September, 1914, deeds were filed at the Courthouse re cording 1 153 real estate transfers cit ing, jii the aggregate, considerations of $567,188. Last year during Sep tember 1274 sales were recorded amounting to $858,566. last month the city water depart ment made connections for 192 new services, making a total of 2040 since January 1. 1914. The books in the office of the City School Superintendent yesterday showed that 638 more children are reg istered in the Portland schools than at tho same time last year. On the opening day an increase of 1589 was shown, but smallpox quarantine in sev eral schools recently reduced the total considerably. The fact that children returned from hop picking earlier than usual accounts partly for the change since tho opening day. Vheat Receipts Fall Short. Wheat receipts during the past month were unusually large, but thev lacked more than 650,000 bushels of equaling the receipts of September, 1913- The toj.alv tun- for September, 1914. ' V-as 3,60.-Hshei3, while the same month last year had a run of 4. 316,000 bushels. Since July of this year the run has exceeded the totals for that period in 1913, the comparison standing 6,614,400 to 6.189,300. Flour and hay receipts show a gain this year, while there was a decrease in barley end oats. By carloads the comparative showing for tho respective months of the two years were as fol lows: Flour 1914. 22: 191.1, 209- hay 1914, 211; 1913, 170; barley 1914. 261; 1913, 477; oats 1914, 365; 1913, 3S3. At the stockyards the total run was B0.347. head, or S302 less than for Sep tember of last year. The supply of hogs was larger this year, but all other ' lines, including cattle, calves and sheep, thiw a decrease. The total exports of wheat, barley, flour, lumber and miscellaneous for the month which, dosed yesterday amount ed to S8S3.26I.90. or less than half the total f,.r September ut last year, when thi exports amounted to $1,888,029. Count ing coastwise traffic, the ship ments of lumber for the past month to taled 17.19;.6T. of which 9.sS7.0dO feet were sent to California. The results .-f la?t month show that the export business has picked up slightly since Hie general depression resulting from the unr. LA GRANDE TO WORK HOBO Cilj rrlNoners o Help Build Two M 1 11 ion -(.a I lou Keservoir. LA GKANDK. Or., Sept. 30. (.Spe cial.) That La Grande will achieve any considerable degree of popularity as a Winter resort among the gentlemen of leisure of the "I-Won't-Work"' frater nity is hardly probable in the face of the plans which the city officials are making for their entertainment. La Grande has planned to build a new reservoir of 2.000.000 gallons ca pacity to supplement the present source of supply, and as the funds for such im provements are rather low at this time, 't is proposed that the city allow in mates of the jail this Winter to work on this project. Mill Operation Awaits Market. CENTRAL! A. Wash., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) The Wabash Lumber & Shingle Company Monday night closed its mill at. Wabash. Manager James Gilchrist stated yesterday that the mill would remain closed until the condition of the lumber market warrants opera tions. The directors of the - Eastern Railway & Lumber Company Monday night held a meeting and decided to remain closed until the tftarket improves. POLICE CHIEF ASKS AUTO Machine May Supplant Extra. St. Johns Patrolman. ST. JOHNS. Or.. Sept 30. (Special.) Chief of Police Poff asked the Coun cil last night to provide an automobile for the use of the police department, Instead of appointing another patrol man. Mayor Vincent appointed a com mittee to investigate the cost of a suit able automobile and report at a later meeting. A resident requested passage of an ordinance prohibiting children from using roller skates on the paved streets, claiming the practice danger ous, but no, action was taken. An ordinance was passed assessing prop erty owners for the improvement of Willamette boulevard from Burlington to Richmond streets. A resolution was passed providing for the improvement of St, James ave nue between Edison and Seneca streets. Plans and specifications for improve ment of Stanford street, between Bu chanan and Burr, were approved. Ac tion on the $25 bill for services of City Grappler Brady in raising the body of Clyde Llndley was postponed. LIGHTING APPEAL IS MADE Decision for Haines Against Power Company to Be Contested. BAKER, Or.. Sept. 30 (Special.) The Eastern Oregon Light & Power Company today filed a notice of appeal in the suit brought against it by the town of Haines, which was decided in favor of the plaintiff by Judge Ander son. August 4. The principal point of divergence be tween the town and the company is in regard to the construction of the part of the franchise providing for a flat rate for electricity. That the flat rate was not observed is admitted, but the company claims that the franchise properly construed would permit such departures as took place. Judge An derson held otherwise and ordered the establishment of a flat rate instead of meters. PASCO FIRE INVESTIGATED Blazes Start in 15 Rooms or Owl . Kooniing-House at Same Time. PASCO. Wash., Sept. 30. (Special.) Fire which appears to ha of incen diary origin occurred in the Owl rooming-house early this morning, but was extinguished before serious damage was uone. At an investigation it' developed that fire started simultaneously in 15 dif ferent unoccupied rooms. Ihe building is a three-storv brick. valued at about $10,000. and is owned oy the Betn Brewing Company, of Walla Walla. The furnishings are owned by Mrs. Clara A. Royce. who last week leased the rooming-house. The lower floor is occuDied hv th Moose bar. UNIVERSITY BONDS ARE UP $1,800,000 Asked for New Califor nia School Buildings. UNIVERSITY OI" CALIFORNIA. Berkeley, Sept. SO. (Special.) Tho fu ture ot the state university depends on the passage at the general election in November- of SI. 800.000 bonds for use in constructing necessary buildings. For the last half century California has been growing and extending itself as an educational center until its name and fame have brought to its doors more pupils than can be accommodated. The buildings have been outerowa. Students have been prevented from reg istering in certain courses because there was no room. Even the magnifi cent library, built three years ago, is now far too small to satisfy the num bers who seek entrance. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer . Schedule. DUB TO ABBIVlk Kama.

Prune values are again slightly easier with some, while on the other hand other oper ator arc holding back for a little better market than seems obtainable just at the moment, says the California Fruitgrower. Prunes will probably be at their weakest from now through October, but slatistically are in good thape. Crop estimates have been reduced by some to as low as 80,000, 000 pounds for the state, others stil main tain that the tonnage will be larger and in the neighborhood of 100.000,000 pounds. The general opinion seems to indicate slightly under this latter, if anything. There le a very little difference being made in prices now whether for Santa Claras or outsides; 30s are well eold up and scarce; 4's are. however, a little more Plentiful than was thought earlier would be the case, B RAZ I L IS MA RKET FOR POTATOES Supply Heretofore Received From Portugal and Germany. There is a market for potatoes in Brazil, according to Consul Robert Frazer. Jr.. who writes from Bahai, August 12, as follows: "Potatoes are largely consumed here, in spite of the fart that they are not grown In th! part of Braail. They have been largely brought from Portugal and Ger many and wholesaled at from 9 to VI mllrets $2.!2 to $3.Sfl per case of 30 kilos ( pounds . The price has now advanced to 20 milreis 1S4.S7 at I2d) per case wholesale and 24 milreis ($5. Si) per case and 1 mil reis per kilo (11 cents per pound), respec tively, at retail. The stock on hand is said to be scarcely sufficient to last more than four or five weeks longer." DAY'S PROD t OS MARKETS ARE HEAVY Sixteen Car of Outride Fruit and Vegetables Received. There was an abundant supply of produce on Front street yesterday. Receipts Included six cars of bananas, three of potatoes, twj of eraoM. three of sweet potatoes and one eaeh of cantaloupes and tomatoes. The grape market Is steady, and although prices are higher in California, there will be no Immediate advance here. A car each of Cornichons and Ma!agus ts due today. Tho Dalles is shipping in Muscats of exception ally fine quality, but they are a lighter pack thau the California grapes. Concords were in good supply and unchanged in price. There was not. much demand for peaches. Apples sold fairly well. 2io more bananas will arrive for a week. Five or six cars of California onions will reach the local market this week. The Ber had three cars and the Beaver will also have a large shipment. Onions are selling at 43i 3' cents in the South, while growers here ask $1. Of the potatoes received yesterday two cars came from Idaho and one from Yakima CASTERN EOG RECEIPTS ARE LARGER Oregon Are of Better Quality, but Arrivals Are Small. Four or five cars of Eastern fresh eggs aro reaching Portland each week and are making uo In Dart tlje' deficiency in local ranch stock. Orejrons are better In quality than thev were, but receipts are very small. Fresh eggs, both Oregon and Eastern, are selllnc'on the street at oO to r cents, and storage eRC3 at lis to u cents. Some of the local buyers are offering as high as S3 cents at country DOlnts. On the whole, th egg market is in better shape than it was. Poultrv and meats were steady and un chanced. Arrivals were not large, but were sufficient. The butter market continues rather slow. Prices are not likely to either decline or ad. vance In the near future. Buuk C'leavriucs.

Heavy Receipts of Wheat Turn Prices Downward. LOSS FOR DAY IS SHARP Slackening fp or Kxport Demand Is Also Bearish Influence Corn Values Sustained by Foreign Sales Western Oats Trade. CHICAGO. Sept. SO. Big receipts and the diminishing of export Inauiry cut a figure today in giving the price of wheat a down ward clunt. Closing quotations were heavy at to 2 Vjc net decline. The out come in corn was unchanged to 2Hc lower, oets finished c oft to He "up and provis ions varied from liO cents dowtf to a rise of 25 cents. Wheat bears put all the emphasis possi ble on the fact that arrivals at primary points were nearly double as large as a year ago, but that shipments had hardly made any gain. The showing was declared to be- especially discouraging in view of the enlargement of the world's available sup ply. Corn was partly sustained by export sales. Oats ruled comparatively strong through out the day, owing to improved Western demand. .Provisions averaged higher, as a result of rumors of hog cholera. One of the large puckers was . conspicuous in assisting a later rally. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
