There was a good demand for poultry yesterday, and as receipts were light chick en prices were higher. Hens sold at 13VsV 14 cents and Sprinss at 13 Vi cents. Turkeys were quoted at -0 cents for large sizes. white ducks at l(gl2-i cents and geese at cents. There was also a better feeling in the dressed meat trade. Good block hogs sold at cents and fancy veal brought 124 613 cents. The egg market was strong. Receipts have fallen off sharply and dealers were un able to fill all orders for fresh stock Can .died Oregons brought 37 cents. Throughout Season Than In Past Years Foreign Butter Im portations Are Factor. Whether or not Governor West ac cepts the challenge of Robert A. Booth, Republican Senatorial nominee, to de bate with him the subject of Mr. Booth's qualifications for the Senatorship, Mr. Booth will appear at the old Heilig Theater, Eleventh and Morrison streets, at 7:30 o'clock next Friday evening to answer the various charges that the Governor already has made against him. However, it is probable that the Gov ernor will agree to meet Mr. Booth at the time appointed in the Republi can candidate's original invitation to debate. Mr. Booth and Governor West held' a lengthy conversation over the telephone yesterday and virtually agreed upon the terms. Because Mr. Booth had to leave Port land last night to keep a series of ap pointments in Crook County, all ar rangements for the joint meeting were left in the hands of Charles B. Moores and Bert K. Haney, respectively Re publican and Democratic state chair men. Mr. Haney and Mr. Booth con ferred on the subject yesterday fol ' lowing the telephonic communication with the Governor. Later Mr. Moores was taken into the conference. The Oregonian to Print Debate. Inasmuch as the Governor in his let ter of Monday had stipulated as a con dition of the debate that The Oregonian print the remarks of both speakers in full and inasmuch as The Oregonian has agreed to print all the Governor and Mr. Booth would say pertinent to the Booth campaign, Mr. Booth and Mr. Haney sought yesterday to secure a similar agreement from the Oregon Journal, an afternoon newspaper that has been supporting the Governor. ' The Journal declined, but, regardless of this attitude, Mr. Booth agreed to proceed with the plans as originally proposed, agreeing also to accept, so far as lay in his power, the conditions laid down' by the Governor in his let ter of Monday. It is now up to the Governor to dem onstrate his good faith by meeting Mr. Booth at the old Heilig next Friday evening. The only question that re mains to be decided is the selection ox a chairman for the meeting, and both Mr. Booth and the Governor yesterday expressed confidence that a neutral per son can be found for this office. Conditions Are Met. Mr. Booth's letter to the Governor follows: "i'our letter of the 19th in response to mine of the 18th reached me at this office at 9:15 o'clock this morning. Im mediately upon receipt of it I called you on the telephone for the purpose of Faying that the Armory was not "available for our proposed meeting and suggested that "all arrangements and agreements governing the meeting should be left to representatives. You suggested Mr. Moores, chairman of the .Republican state central committee, and Mr. Haney, chairman of. the Dem ocratic state central committee. To this 3 assented and have since been in con ference with these gentlemen. "You name three conditions that shall covern our meeting, the first being as to a competent stenographer to report the speeches as delivered, and third, as to the time allowed to each speaker. To both of these I agree. Your second condition, namely, 'That The Oregonian will publish the two speeches in full as reported, in order that its readers may receive a truth ful account of the meeting and not a doctored report,' is beyond my con trol. It. has been submitted to Mr. Piper, editor of The Oregonian, and he lias delivered the following written statement: Pertinent Remarks to Be Lsed. " "The Oregonian will make on Sat urday morning an adequate and impar tial report of the Booth-West meeting. It would be physically and mechan ically impossible to print a steno graphic report of the meeting unless all the copy should be delivered to The Oregonian by 13 o'clock midnight. (This will be found to be impossible.) On Sunday morning, however. The Orego nian will print impartially and com pletely in the exact language of Gover nor AVest and in the exact language of Mr. Booth whatever may have been said at the Booth-West meeting that is pertinent to Mr. Booth's campaign or the subject under discussion, which is Mr. Booth's qualifications to be Sen ator. It will give the same space to each speaker.' "You state that you impose this sec ond condition 'in order that the read ers of The Oregonian may receive a truthful account of the meeting and not a doctored report.' This means that a full report of the speeches go to the readers of The Oregonian and is agree able to me. but if it is fair that The oregonian should publish a full report, it is equally fair that a similar report as lull and as truthful should go to the readers of the Journal. Both Mr. Haney and I have asked the Journal if they would agree to this condition but, through Mr. George Trowbridge, tneir manager, they positively declined. "I am willing and anxious that full and accurate reports go through both pajers at the same time, namely, the Sunday morning editions. (It would be impossible for it to be printed in the Saturday morning issue of The Oresronian. ) If this arrangement as to publicity cannot be made, it is mani festly unfair. I hope you can induce the Journal to comply with it. If it does not, then my invitation to you still stands and I am willing that each paper make whatever report it de- Theater Chosen for Meeting;. "I propose to hold the meeting Fri day night at the Baker Theater for the purpose of answering the charges that you have made against me in your Portland speech, as reported by the Oregon Journal. If you will be pres ent every courtesy will be extended you and the opportunity for dividing time as suggested by your letter will be accorded; .t being understood, of course, that you will give me notice at the beginning of the meeting of your intention to participate. "I will leave the city this evening and will not return until Friday morning;.- Any plan or agreements that may be entered into between Mr. Haney and Mr. Moores will be accepted by me. "Let me add an aditlonal line in re ply to some things in your letter: After quoting from The Oregonian as to the time you received the message that I sent you. you follow with the state ment, 'this is an untruthful state ment.' and state that my telegram was received Saturday afternoon just aa you were leaving aiadiexd, to keep anv way that you would have a meeting either in Portland or else where Friday night. "You talk of a packed meeting. I do not desire such a meeting. There li no need of my talking to my friends. I desire to talk to an unprejudiced, nron-minded public.

There was an irregular finish in provisions ranging from 10 cents decline to an advance of 12Vi cents. Signs that the continued hulee in nrlces had Induced rural holders In the Northwest to accept bids more freely proved sufficient reason to cause extensive profit-taking here on tne part of recent buyers. Notwithstand. lng that considerable rallying power was shown, especially after the first break in prices, the market closed at the lowest point of the day. Active purchasing on European account brought about the best reaction in favor of the wheat bulla The temporary strength was accompanied by reports that the Ital ian import duties had been lowered and that trans-Atlantic army bids for 50,000 barrels of flour would be opened tomorrow in rsew yora. on tne other hand, it 1 said that ocean tonnage was becoming scarce. Auspicious weather tended to ease' the price of com. Traders were on the alert, however, for a possible renewal of export sales. Oats held up relatively better than other grain.

There is going to be a shortage of grapes on the market until the latter part of the week and it is uncertain whether a supply will be available then, as rains in Call fornia are holding up shipments.

Interest in finan cial affairs centered today mainly around Washington, where further conferences were held between representatives of the Brit ish finance minister and officials of the United States Treasury, and In which some of the prominent banking interests of the country were participants. The outcome of tbese meetings, which are to be continued in this city, is expected to have a very direct bearing, not only upon existing foreign exchange conditions, but also upon the reopening of the London and Wow YorK stock exenanges. Washington was also the seat of con tinued negotiations relative to the proposed cotton pool, in which a hitch was reported. The chief obstacle in the way of this plan is said to be the disinclination of the Fed eral Reserve Board to assume full responsi bility for the project on the ground that j other and more pressing duties are now be- I fore it for consideration. j There was another abrupt break in ex- j change on London, cables being quoted at 4.0tfi- and demand bills at 4.06. These quo tations represented declines of 3 cents or more from last week's high figures. The decline was generally associated with the recent heavy foreign demand for our com modities and gave special point to advices from Chicago to the effect that yesterday's grain exports constituted a record-breaker.. Depression in steel and copper continues, with lower prices foe copper and metal and steady diminution of shipments of finished steel from leading mills. In fact, the state of the steel industry at this time is such as to indicate an abandonment of virtually all price schedules. . Time money was quotably easier In some instances, but actually unchanged. Local banks are holding themselves in readiness for prospective renewals later in the month, some of these contracts representing 00-day loans made shortly before the stock ex change suspended operations. Money on call was freely offered at an average rate of u. r cent, the suunly exceeding the de mand. Banks in the granger states are buy ing moderately of high-class commercial pa per at 6 per cent, but the inquiry from other sources is ngni- ... l. -in f nnrfnn vrA SllfhtlV lOWff, tMn. rJ-1 nnsif ion of the Bank of England being the" chief contributing factor.
