That the proposal of the Oregon Ketail Merchants' Association, which was embodied in a resolution at the annual convention just held in Tort land, to tho effect that a law be passed making postal savings bank deposits subject to attachment would be little short of disaster Is the belief of Postmaster Myers. "The average postal savings . bank aceount throughout tho country," he said, "amounts to 1100. In Portland the amount is 100. ,.ot a week passes without such deposits being drawn to pay funeral expenses. They are used to tide people over crises in their af fairs The deposits are an anchor to windward against sickness, death and unemployment. "If these deposits are made subject to execution, people In many instances would be left without resources and would become public charges."

Months before shearing time, wool buyers are already appearing In the Baker district and are offering tho hitherto unheard-of prices of 25 and 26 cents a pound as contract prices for wool. While such prices have been offered before in the Baker district, growers declare nothing like this had been paid at or before the opening of the buying season. JLast year the open, ing prices in the entire district were from 10 to 12 cents a pound, and throughout the season they did not ad vance over 173 and IS cents. The buyers are declaring that the prices will not go materially higher, but growers believe that there will be 30-cent wool before the end of the shearing season. Word has been re ceived that 500.000 pounds of wool has already been contracted for in Idaho and Montana by the same buyers who arrived today in the Baker district. Members of the Oregon Woolgrowers' Association are urging their members to wait for the shearing season before attempting to contract for the sale of their clip. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

Oats were steady, prompt delivery again bringing f:. Barley bids were generally a dollar lower. Millers deny emphatically the reported sale of a cargo of flour to Europe, as an nounced In an evening paper. The Epsom's cargo is not yet decided on. There have been Inquiries on the market for a long time past for flour, and it Is probable a good trade with Europe In this line will develop later. The Spanish government has announced a temporary reduction of import duty on wheat to 7 pesetas and on wheat flour to 10 pesetas per HO kilos (I. e., 0.61 and f0.370 per 100 pounds, respectively). In order to prevent undue fluctuations In the price of wheat and, flour, the government provided that when the average price of wheat In the principal domestic markets for a par ticular month is more than 31 but not more than 33 pesetas per 100 kilos, the Import duty on wheat and wheat flour shall he re duced to 7 and 10 pesetas per 100 kilos, re spectively. . Every additional advance of 1 peseta In tho price is to be offset by a cor responding reduction In the import duties, and an inverse procedure 1 to be followed when the price declines, the regular tariff rates of 8 and 11 pesetas for wheat and flour, respectively, to be restored when it again reaches 31 pesetas. A royal decree. Issued at Stockholm, pro vides for the free admission Into Bwsden until May 31, 1013. of wheat and rye in the grain (regularly dutiable at 3.TO crowns per 100 kilos, f0.45 per 100 pounds), and flour of wheat and rye (regularly dutiable at 8.50 crowns per 100 kilos, fo.70 per 100 pounds).

SPECIALTIES ARE ERRATIC British Investors Arc Prohibited by Their Government From Partici pating in New York Central's Coming Bond Issue. NEW YORK, Feb. IS. Foreign influences again were the controlling factors of to day's dull and sagging stock market. After the close of the market it became known that the British treasury had Issued a notice prohibiting British shareholders from participating in the New York Central 8100.0UO.00O 6 per cent debenture lssuo and would not permit dealings in these bonds on the London Stock Exchange. Bankers pointed out that this prohibition would not hoM If British Investors saw flt to forward their participation direct to this country. Leading shares wore under pressure most of the session, but declines In that group were merely nominal. Movements In cer tain specialties, particularly1 Mexican Pe troleum, excited adversa comment, but were otherwise without effect. The petroleum shares contributed largely to the profession al tradings of the morning, the erratic course suuruestln ir hurried liquidation and lukewarm support. Texas Company, another oil security, also displayed marked weak ness. Inconspicuous stocks, like Colorado Fuel. Cuban Sugar.

CO-OPERATION SET AS GOAL Marketing Plan Outlined hy Itepre gentutive of Growers' Council. Organized co-operation between fruit growers of the four Northwest states, and tho shippers, is the aim of the Northwest Fruitgrowers' Council, which closed its first meeting in Tacoma Wed nesday, according to J. A. Westerlund, of Medford, who will represent the or ganization in Western Oregon. Mr. Westerlund arived in Portland yester day. Under the plan adopted at the meet ing of 108 delegates from fruitgrow ers' associations, the Northwest will be divided into 10 districts, in each of which a salaried member of the board of control of the new organization, will work for the interests of the growers. "I believe 75 per cent of the growers in Oregon will join the movement," said Mr. Westerlund. "Through this or ganization, consignments of fruit will be entirely done away with. By co operating with the shippers and buy ing and selling agents, we can reaoh every market in the East. Eventually, arrangements will be made to reach out and open up the South American and Oriental trade," The First National Bank FIFTH AND MORRISON STREETS CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $3,500,000 Interest Paid on Saving! and Time DepoiiU Security Savings and Trust Company Fifth and Morrison Street!
