That Portland's new automobile street-cleaning and sprinkling machine is a big factor In cutting down oper ating expenses of the Btreet-cleanlng and sprinkling bureau, is the opinion of City Commissioner Daly, who has completed an Investigation of the work done by the new machine during its first two weeks of service. It is shown that the machine cleans about four miles of street a day. The machine requires but one man to handle it and one or two men With brooms to clean the gutters. The horse-drawn ap paratus to cover the same grond in a day requires at least two full crews of machines, horses and men.

The Exchange sales in detail were as fol lows: loo tons prompt oats $28.25 100 tons January oats .............. 2D.0O 100 tons January oats 29.30 200 tons January oats 29.50 600 tons JJav oats 32.50 250 tons May oats 32.50 250 tons Mav oats 32.50 500 tons May oats 32.50 6000 bushels December red Russian... 1.08 Cable inquiries for oats were received during the day, particularly for January shipment. The foreign demand and the con. slderable export business that Is being done has Imparted considerable strength to the market. Stocks in tne Interior are much re duced, and it looks as if all the surplus would yet go abroad. Holders in the Twins Falls section are asking $30 for spot oats, and srowers elsewhere la the Interior are equally firm. v- In addition to the 3000 tons of oats that will he dispatched todav to England on the Oristano. about 3500 tons are being loaded on Lowther Range at Montgomery dock, and a parcel Is going out by Dtamer from Se attle. Several other cargoes will probably be dlsDatched from bore during the Winter. Advices received from the Sound yesterday were that the Government If expeoted to be In the market in the near future for a large auantity of oats to ba shipped to the Phil ippines. The wheat market was fairly steady hare and In the country with a moderate amount of trading.

Reporting on apple market cond. .Itlons In Great Britain W. Dennis & Sons, of Don don, write under date of October 30: "As regards California Newtowna the large quantities already reported on tho market have not gone Into consumption, and buying Is at a standstill. There is a very marked drop in price since our laat report, being now 4s 6d per box for the four and one-half-tier fruit and 5s for the four-tier, with prospects of a further decline In the near future, unless supplies are ar rested. As is the case In Liverpool, .-we think these low prices, which can bring to the grower practically nothing for bis fruit, will have the effect of reducing ship ments to tills side, and tho market may possibly in consequence have an opportunity of recovering Itself a little later on when existing stocks have passed Into consump tion. "Other box varieties, "Washngton stocks, are selling at &s to 7s per box, according to variety and quality. "With regard to the Liverpool market, this has shown a decline since last week, owing to heavy arrivals and the stock ar riving out of condition. We are Inclined to think that prices will remain at their present low level for some time to come. As regards California Newtowna, the position Is similar to that in London, It being difficult to get &s per box for four-tier fruit unless it Is of tiptop quality. . "In Glasgow there are two or three steam ers due. but they have not arrived for some reason or other. The demand for apples during the last day or two has-been much brisker, and prices have Improved. This la, we think, only a temporary rally, however, due to the fact of buyers having no stocks on hand and having to purchase on a Some what bare market their week-end require ments. Winter Nells pears are In .moderate de mand, prices ruling at 15s to 13s per box for Oregon stook and from 14s down to lis for Wenatchee and Yakima packs." ELEVEX CENTS FOR OREGON HOPS Farther Business Reported in Washington and California European Estimates. Choice hops continue steady in price, as Is shown by the sale of 240 bales by Mc Kinley Mitchell to T. A. Llvesley 3c Co. at 11 cents. Further business was reported In the Yakima section. Conrad Bros, selling 140 bales and William Morrison 130 bales. A California wire noted the sale of the Bandy lot of 1O0 hales of Yolos to Donovan at SH cents and the Palms crop ot 300 bales of Consomnes to Uhlman at the same price. Dealers estimate about 40,000 bales left unsold In this state and an equal quantity in California. Washington has about 17,000 bales, of which SOCIO bales are in the Yakima Valley. Mail advices from Europe state that but very Uttle of the Belgian hop crop was harvested. In France tho crop of the Lothungen district was lost, and in Gallicla, Austria, only a small portion of the crop was saved. Germany produced a good aver age crop. German and Austrian brewers have bought heavily at cheap prices. BAKER . GROWERS REFUSE TO SELL Lower Prices Offered for Wheat nad Other Grains Tie L'p Market. BAKER, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.)

Steadiness ruled at the close, which was & cent to cent above last night. Com finished unchanged to 1-16 off. oats at a shade ad vance and provisions down 15 to 42Vs cents. Many shorts In wheat became frightened on the upturn In the market and they cov ered with a suddenness that gave prices for a few minutes a decided whirl. In the end, opinion seemed quite general that sell ing of late had. been considerably overdone. Com rallied with wheat. Oats were swayed mainly by the action of other cereals. Liberal receipts of hogs at Western cen ters caused a break In the provision mar ket. A good deal of the Belling came from packers, who were Influenced somewhat by reports that 15,000 tierces of lard ordered from the United States to Copenhagen had been stopped and taken to Liverpool.

SECURITY DEALINGS LARGE Better Demand for Copper Is Shown by Advance In Metal Price Kx port Orders Are Received for Steel Plate. NEW YORK, Nov. 17. Further easing of money for virtually all periods wm the mot noteworthy financial development toJay. For the longer dates two to six month the rato a reduced to 5 per cent, while some; liO-day loans were made at a shade lower. A considerable part of the money put at 5 per cent represented renewals of loans made j at 6 to 8 per cent shortly after the out break of the war. I Call money ranted from to S per cent, j tho lower rate prevailing where choica col- ( lateral was offered. Dealings In unlisted bonds and stocks were apaln In liberal volume, but no advances ; from tho previous day were recorded. On , the curb additional pains were secured by j the Standard OU subsidiaries and In . the i unofficial market for active listed stocks ; a greater disparity between bid and asked; prices was observed. Another advance In hlirU-errade copper to 12 cents denoted a better Inquiry for the metal by consumers, but conditions In that1 industry as a whole continued unsatisfac tory, mainly because of the British embargo on our exports. A slirnif leant development of the export situation was offered by the report that large amount of raw cotton was being shipped to Germany in American vessels. Readjustment of the foreign! exchange sit uation was being automatically assisted by tho heavier exports. The merchandise out flow from this port for the week was 000, OOO greater than In the preceding1 week and almost $7,000,000 more than in the same week last year. So far this year, local ex ports almost equal those of 1U18. The better feeling noted in steel trade circles was enhanced by the announcement that some of the larger manufacturers have received large orders from foreign sources for steel plate. Aside from certain finished specialties, however, there was no improve ment in domestic Inquiry. Discounts were Inclined to harden In Lon don because of tha final payment tomorrow of a large amount of half-year treasury bills, which will temporarily deplete the money market of Its free supply.
