POULTRY SELLS AT BETTER PRICES
Receipts Are Not Equal to Demand EgK
Market Strong.
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. If the meeting is
held I am willing that any steps may 1 The undertone of the butter market is

meantime local stocks are cleaning up
closely. The next shipment of California
Tokays to arrive will sell at $1.25.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20. 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- ...
