JXRKSSED TURKEYS UNSOLD AT CLOSE
Kecetnta Do Not Clean I'D. but Prices Are
Held Steady.
Dressed turkeys did not clean up on
Front street yesterday. Receipts were of
good size, larger than some of the dealers
expected. There was good demand
throughout the day. however, and the mar
ket was steady. Tops were quoted at 23,
2ai,4 and 21 cents by different houses. The
Quantity carried over did not worry the
trade, and unless belated arrivals this
morning are large everything will probably
be dlsuosetl of.
Things were not so satisfactory In the
live poultry line. There was little or no
demand, yet supplies continued to pour In
all day. Live hens sold as low as 10 and
11 cents, and Eprings could not be moved
at any price. Live turkeys, ducks and geese
were also not wanted.
There was not much movement In
dress;d meats, as usual on a holiday mar
ket, but former prices were quoted.
Tho egg market was firm with a brisk
demand, stimulated by the cold weather
and holiday requirements, cheese and but
ter were unchanged. The latter was barely
steady.
California. Hops Are VVairted.
California wires reported a strong In
quiry for hops, with offers of 8 and 8
cents for Sacramentos and no sellers, in
this state the market was lifeless, except
for a little unimportant trading between
dealers. Stocks in Western Washington
have been materially reduced by recent
buying there. .
TAX WORRIES ENGLISH HOrUROYVERS
Agitation Started Again for Import Duty on
Foreign Hops.
English hopgrowers take a serious view of
the probable effect on the industry of the
British war tax on beer and there is already
talk of a posslblo reduction in the acreage
devoted to hops. Reporting a meeting at
Hereford to consider the question the
Kcntiah Observer says:
"Mr. Taylor (who presided) read a letter
from Albert Banister, London, stating that
he had written to the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, pointing out the great blow caused
to the industry by the new tax, which rep
resented a reduction of acreage, in his opin
ion, to one-half. Such a condition of things
was too disastrous to contemplate.
"Sydney Mycr said the new taxes, accord
ing to the figures of the Chancellor himself,
meant a reduction of 35 per cent in the con
sumption of beer. That meant a like re
duction in the consumption of hops. In ad
' ditlon there appeared to be a great prob
ability that the quantity of hops which came
from abroad must necessarily be 'increased
owing to the larger surplus that would be
left in the hands of foreign growers by the
very great reduction in the beer consumption
of this country. The hufigrower had sunk
his capital to produce a certain quantity of
hops, tor which' there bad been a regular
and certain outlet. By the present proposal
one-third of the capital laid out on plant,
roots, etc., was practically scrapped. While
the brewer had been hit he could make some
extra profit, but there were no concessions
to the growers. There was only one way out
of the difficulty, that was to put a tax
on foreign hops; otherwlso the home grower
would be placed at a disadvantage.
"It was decided to send a deputation to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
IiAR.KKI.KI GRAPES ARE IN DEMAND
Tokays and Emperors Offered to Christ
mas Trade.
A shipment of Tokay grapes was received
yesterday from Sacramento and sold st
$3.73 a keg. Emperors have been moving
well In the holiday trade at $3.50 a keg.
These grapes are packed in sawdust and
will keep throughout the Winter.
A quantity of cranberries was received
from llwaco and had a ready sale at $10
11 a barrel. Oranges have cleaned up
well. Apple stocks are running low on the
street, as receipts have been small of late.
A car of ceicry was received yesterday
and was disposed of quickly at $3.503.75
a crate. The next car of celery is due
Christmas morning . . ,

SELLING ON NEW YORK EXCHANGE
Steel Leads In Downward Movement and
Entire List Declines.
NEW YORK. Dec. ?8. For the first time
since the recent renewal of open trading in
all stocks, there were unmistakable signs
today of general liquidation. A number of
speculative Issues, including United States
Steel and Southern Pacific, fell to their
minimum and many others in the same class,
including Canadian Pacific. Union Pacific.
Great Northern preferred. Northern Pacific,
Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio and United
States Steel preferred, came near their estab
lished low prices.
As usual, the receding movement began
with Steel, which held steady until midday,
when it broke new low ground. Almost im
mediately other leaders began to decline,
the whole list yielding a little later when
announcement of the redifced Pennsylvania
Company dividend was made. From that
period the movement was backed by in
creasing weakness, with only an occasional
itful rally. The setting was too general for
analysis, but foreign offers and. bear ac
tivity contributed tfie.r part, together with
unloading by discouraged investors.
Near the close of the market. Steel was of
fered at 48, with no bid. and other specula
tive issues showed little disparity between
bid and asked prices. Today's closing quo
tations represent declines of 5 to 10 points
from the high of December 15, the loss In
certain specialties extending' to 15 points.
Weakness prevailed in bonds, with marked
pressure upon convertible and low-priced
issues. Total sales, par value, were $1,503.
OOO. United States coupon 3s declined
per cent on call.

PORTLAND HOUSE BUYS
LUMBERMEN'S TRUST BEST KIDDER
FOR $1,000,000 SEATTLE BONDS.
National City Bank, of New York. As
sociated With Local Financial In
stitution In Large Purchase.
The successful bidder for the $1,000,000
of 5 per cent road bonds of King County,
Washington, which were sold at Seattle
Tuesday, was the Lumbermens Trust Com
pany, of Portland, which offered a pre
mium of $31,090. The bid of the Portland
house was participated in by the Natlonl
City Bank and Redmnd & Co., of New
York. Bidding for the bonds was quite
spirited and most of the large bond houses
of the country were represented in the ten
ders in the way of participation. The other
bidders were the Dexter-Horton National
Bank of Seattle. 103.107; E. H. Rollins &
Sons. Chicago, 102.77: Henry Teal, of Port
land. 102.1H. A bid was made by George
H. Tllden Sc Co., of Seattle, of 103.28 for
$100,000 of the bonds provided he be given
an option on the remainder at the same
price to January 15. Mr. Tllden made
1 ..... - ...
to himself, declaring that his bid was the
highest. However, the County Commis-
t sioners had invited unconditional - bids an'd
un mis gruuna Air, jiiaens tenner was
thrown out and the bonds awarded to the
Portland house.
The Lumbermens Trust Company was
represented by Frank W. Camp, who re
turned .o Portland yesterday. He reported
great interest manifested in the sale, a
large number of bond men being present.
"These bonds, as well as the issue of
$1,000.00 Multnomah County bridge bonds
sold recently, furnish a clew to the condi
tion of the Investment market," said Mr,
Camp. "The Multnomah Issue brought a
very slightly higher price, considering the
yield, as it sold on a basis of 4.70 per cent,
while the Seattle issue sold on a basis of
4.75 per cent. A strong bond market is
anticipated for January and there is no
recession in the high favor In which mu
nicipal bonds are held at the present time
"The King County bonds will be deliv
ered February 1. 1U15. They will run 20
years and are part of $3,000,000 road bonds
of King County issuance ' which were au
thorized by the voters in 1912. Of the
total $1,800,000 have now been sold. The
funds realized February 1 from this sale
will be used during the coming year in car
rying out comprehensive good roads plans
entered upon by the county."

LIMITED ALWAYS ON TIME
Great Northern Agent Chuckles and
"Points With Pride.-'
It is seldom that a railroad man
"points with pride."
But Henry Dickson, he or the Great
Northern city ticket office, is doing
that same thing- risht n,ow. 1
liis pointer is Uirei-ted at the "re
markable record" of the Oriental Lim
ited, the Great Northern's fancy train
operating- between St. Paul and the
North Pacific Coast.
The Oriental Limited was 'on 'time
every day from July 14, 1914, to July
19, inclusive, 97 days, and was late
four days between July 20 and 27. ow
ing to tunnel construction In the
Rockies, but was on time again every
nay irora July 25 to December 15141
days. In other words. It was on time
:ss days out of 242.
"It surely Is something to be nroud
of," chuckles Mr. Dickson as he tells
prospective ticket purchasers of the
Oriental's achievement.

Year-old Pis Weighs 450 Pounds.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Dec. 23.
(Special.) B. -G. Crowe killed a year
old pig last week that weighed 450
pounds -dressed. He thinks this will
hold the record for some time for a pig
of that age. Until about two months
ago the animal was allowed to run,
being fed some swill. It was fattened
on corn. The pig was a -mixed Poland
China and Red. Mr. Crowe says he
could make plenty of money on hogs
if he could raise year-old swine .that
would average the weight of this one.
WHEAT MOVES BACK
Chicago Market Loses Part of
Recent Gain.
TONE NERVOUS AT CLOSE
Xonierons Predictions That Argen

Than Estimated Italy Buying-
wheat and Oats. "
CHICAOO. Dec. 28. The wheat market
closed nervous at ueKc to c net decline.
Corn finished 4c to ?4c above last
night, oats ud to He and provisions un
changed to 27 Ho down.
- Italian buying of 1,250,000 bushels of
cash wheat here gave the market early an
Impressive show of strength. Speculators
rushed to th bull side of tho market and
there was a swift upturn In prices, new high
levels beine- reached for the cash and De
cember deliveries, with May Jumping to
within 2Kc of the topmost figures since
BuroDean hostilities began. Predictions
were numerous that the Argentine surplus
crop would prove a good deal larger than
recent estimates had led the trade to
expect.
Corn developed surprising stubbornness In
the face of the bearish action of wheat.
The main Influence upholding oats was
the purchase of 1.000.000 bushels here to go
to Italy. The British government was also
reported to bt buying oats ou a big scale
at Winnipeg.
Declines in the valtfe of hogs carried
down- provisions. Much of the selling was
by packers.

CLATSOP JUDGE REPLIES
Criticism of Administrative OTficcs
by Clerks Is Scored.
ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 21. (To the Edi
tor.) I noted in The Oregonian on De
cember 20 an article from State In
surance Commissioner Ferguson's " of
fice, in which some of the clerks in his
office have seen fit to criticise the ad
ministrative offices .of Clatsop County,
and I would be grateful to you. indeed,
if you would grant me sufficient space
in your paper to contradict some of
the.se misstatements.
First Relative to timber cruise. The
Assessor of Clatsop County petitioned
the County Court to furnish his office
with sufficient data to enable him to
place a fair and just valuation upon
the timber lands of Clatsop County.
The County Court entered into a con
tract with the Nease Timber Company
to furnish the data asked for by the
Assessor. Some timber owners, who
chose to style themselves as the Tax
payers' League, attempted to prevent
this action on the part of the county.
The officers were enjoined; the matter
was taken through the Supreme Court
of the State of Oregon, the Supreme
Court holding that it was fit and prop
er that the County Court should fur
nish the Assessor with this infoma
tlon. The result was that the assessed
valuation on the timber lands of Clat
sop County were increased three-fold,
and the assessed valuation of Clatsop
County as equalized by the Board of
Equalization was raised from an esti
mate of 31 per cent in 1912, estimated
by State Tax Commission, to 59 per
cent in 191S, estimated by the State
Tax Commission, with a result that the
farmers and small residence owners,
banks and other institutions of Clat
sop County were paying considerably
jsss taxes, part of the burden being
Dorn ojr the timbermen. and yet the
clerical force in Mr. Ferguson's office
has seen fit to criticise the findings of
the Supreme Court and administrative
offices of Clatsop County.
Second The Oregon State Legisla
ture for the year 1913 passed a law
providing for the establishment of an
experimental station in Clatsop County
for the purpose of investigating and ex
perimenting with tidelands and logged
off lands and providing that the work
be carried on under the auspices and
direction of the Oregon Agricultural
College, through their board of regents,
and that Professor Kerr, president of
the Oregon Agricultural College, vis
ited Clatsop County and, after a care
ful investigation and inspection of the
conditions, selected a tract of land con
sisting of 70 acres as the best-known
site for the John Jacob Astor experi
mental station, and immediately there
after employed a superintendent, who
was placed In charge of said institu
tion, and also furnished to Clatsop
County plana and specifications for the
buildings and other improvements to be
erected according to the plans and
specifications furnished by the Oregon
Agricultural College, and yet the clerks
in Mr. Ferguson's office have taken
upon themselves the responsibility of
criticising the action taken by the
board of regents of the Oregon Agri
cultural College and the County Court
of Clatsop County In carrying out this
work.
Third That there was In Clatsop
County no home or hospital for county
poor and they were taken care of by
LADD & TILTON
BANK
Established 1859.
Capital and Surplus
Commercial and
various people and that this method
of caring for the poor was not satis
factory, therefore the County Court,
as provided by law, determined to es
tablish what is known as Clatsop
County Hospital and Home, and that in
looking for a site it was considered
advantageous to all concerned that it
would be placed upon the John Jacob
Astor Experimental Station, that plans
and specifications were prepared for a
suitable building for this purpose and
that these plans and specifications, be
fore acceptance by the County Court,
were presented to the State Board of
Health for their recommendation, which
recommendation is on record in Clatsop
County. They were also presented to
the prominent physicians of Clatsop
County, one of whom was Dr. Fulton.
County Overseer of County Poor, and
were unanimously indorsed by all these
authorities, and the building stands
there today, the best evidence of what
it is and whether or not it is extrava
gant, and yet the clerks in Mr. Fergu
son's office have taken upon themselves
the responsibility of criticising the ex
pediency of this investment.
It occurs to me that this is a case of
the tall attempting to wag the dog. It
is unusual for the clerical force to crit
icise the executive force of any insti
tution. They are employed to record
the acts, of others, and I am convinced
from what I have heard from the vari
ous counties in the State of Oregon that
the next Legislature will undoubtedly
amputate this extraordinary appen
dage. ' EDWARD C. JUDD.
- County Judge of Clatsop County.
