THE MOIiNIXG OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1915.
MORE THAN 100 lil
HIGH SCHOOL MEET
Columbia Students, Because
of Indoor Track, Regarded
as Probable Winners.
JEFFS TO MAKE HARD BID
Century lasli in Portland lutcrscho
lastlo Games Friday to Start at
2 o'CJock; Seven Schools Are
Knlrrctl in Competition.
With more than 100 athletes rr-pre.
jrnttntr Jefferson High School, Colum
bia University, Uncoln High School.
Washington Jlish School, Portland
Aradomy, Franklin HiRh School and
Hill Military Academy entered, the
innual Portland Interacholastic League
(rack and field meet scheduled for
Multnomah Field Friday afternoon
promises to be one of the hardest
fouyrht affairs ever experienced in
years.
From present Indications no one
school seems to have the advantage
over the other, although the rains of
the last two weeks have kept all the
teams from heavy workouts. Columbia
University is the only school which has
an indoor track and for this reason
many of the critics are pointing to the
collegians to nose out ahead in Friday's
gathering.
Coach Calllcratc is credited with
winning the 1915 interscholastic track
and field title of Oregon at the recent
meeting under the auspices of the Uni
versity of Oregon at Eugene. Few fol
lowers of local athletics had considered
the Columbia University as contenders
for the title.
Jefferson Distance Men Beat.
Coach May, of the Jefferson High
School, is known to have the greatest
collection of distance men ever devel
oped at one institution in this city un
der his wing this season and in every
meet they have appeared but once or
twice have any of the opponents been
able to place. Now the coach is trying
to develop several of the other athletes
for other events so that he may be able
to secure points here and there.
"Mac" Maurice, one of the leading
spirits of the school, is among the top
notchevs in the sprinting line, Last
year he was hurt at the beginning of
the season and was unable to compete
but now expects to be able to help Jef
ferson take the 1315 title. Laman Bon
ney is going great in the pole vault,
as well as the discus. Captain Carl
I.ortell, of the baseball team, picked the
discus up and threw it more than 105
feet, "just for fun," with the result that
Coach May has placed him in the
weight events.
Illll V.ntrien Limited.
The Hill Military Academy will have
two athletes in line. John Band will
work in the javelin and Stanley Betty
will have sway in the sprints. The
cadets are going strong for tennis and
for this reason few of the athletes have
turned out for track.
The first event will start at 2 o'clock,
that everything may be completed be
fore 5 o'clock. Fourteen events are
listed on the programme with the 100
yard dash coming first. All the medals
have been engraved and this morning
they will be put on- exhibition in one
of the Bhow windows of the Meier &
Frank store.

Will Not Pay Men's Expenses.
ST. LOUIS, May 25. The Western
district championship tournament of
the Amateur Athletic Union was post
poned indefinitely today by the board
of managers.
The meet had been set for June 5.
The tournament was to be the tryout
for Western athletes who desired to

to defray the expenses of the athletes.
When informed that exposition au
thorities denied any such refusal. Theo
dore R. Bland, one of the Western dis
trict managers, said that it had been
the general understanding throughout
the country that the exposition Would
not pay the expenses. He said, how
ever, that no information had been re
ceived officially that expenses of ath
letes to San Francisco would not be
paid.

BUTTER FOB EXPORT
California Said to Be Shipping
to Australia.
SOME GOES FROM OREGON
Unusual Demands Strengthen All
Coast Markets Local Prices Are
Advanced Orders Come In
Jt'roni Itritlsh Columbia.
Local butter prices were advanced 2 Vi
cents yesterday to I7i cents for city prints
in box or less than box lots.
Production In this state Is heavy at the
present time and probably exceeds all past
records, yet because or unusual demands the
market has become very firm. In addition
to Increased local buying for storing, ship
ments have been made to California and to
British Columbia. The Seattle market ad
vanced 2 cents at the opening of the week
and a higher price here became necessary.
Storage speculators only recently entered
the market. They bad delayed their buying,
believing prices would eettle to a lower
basis, but concluding that this was not
likely to happen were at last forced into the
market as buyers. Th steadiness of prices
here in the face of a big make was the con
sequence of the strength at San Francisco,
where a considerable export movement has
been under way. Two carloads of Oregon
butter have already been shipped South.
It Is not known definitely to what quar
ter California is exporting butter. Some of
the men in the trade believe it Is going by
way of the canal and New York to Eng
land for uso by the allies, but It Is con
sidered more likely that Its destination is
Australia, it is certain there Is a butter
shortage In Australia, due to the drouth,
and It is also said that New Zealand haa
not been able' to supply all the needs of
the ustralian cities.
For this reason and also because of the
poor transportation facilities New Zealand
Is not making its usual shipments to British
Columbia and thoee markets are, therefore,
drawing upon Oregon for their requirements.
It is not known how long these Northern
orders will continue, but for the present,
with the active local storage buying, they
are causing a very firm market.
The output of the Oregon creameries Is
now materially larger than at this time
last year. Cream is not only plentiful but
of unusually good quality. The rains make
it certain that the season will run much
later than usual.
ENdlAM) MAY HIV KCl'INKU SK.AR
White Javas (jetting Scarce and American
Granulated Needed.
An Eastern sugar authority comments as
follows on the English sugar situation:
Kefined sugars are constantly under
treaty, with both the Cnited Kingdom and
France, and there is always the possibility
that other business will develop as we go
along. Up to the present the English Com
mission does not seem disposed to operate
to any extent in American granulated, al
though they show considerable interest in
offerings, and it is generally conceded to
be a question of but a very short time before
they will be compelled to make purchases.
One or our English fricntls writes us under
date of May II:
"The spot market in the United Kingdom
remains without any fresh feature, but the
previous features are becoming more pro
nounced, the scarcity of fine granulated be
coinlng every week greater. American
granulated if on tho spot juat now would
sell readily at 2Ss c. f. i.. equal 30s duty
paid, but owing to the policy of the gov
ernment there is none to be had and the
market has to be content with the white
Java, which continues to go off readily.
The demand for refined from Europe can
not be very long delayed and seems likely
to tako place just at the time when the
American home consumption is assuming
large dimensions.
In an ordinary season the usual upward
tendency in America is not considored due
till May, when Cuban receipts are rapidly
declining anil there is perhaps no reason
why this year the course of the market
should be much different from an ordinary
season, especially as the element of specula
tion is totally absent in Europe."
LOCAL BIDS FOR WHEAT ARE HIGHKK
No Sales Posted at Merchants' Exchange.
Jane Oats Taken.
There was a firmer feeling In the local
wheat market yesterday, but no business
was put through at the Exchange, because
of the wide margin between the Ideas of
buyers and sellers. Bids for prompt deliv
ery were advanced 1 to 1 cents on white
wheat and -V to 4 cents on red over Mon
day's figures. Offers for futures were also
higher.
One hundred tons of June onts were sold
at $28.25, an advance of a quarter over Mon
day's top bid. Offers for feed grains In
other respects were lower.
The European visible wheat supply is es
timated at 92,952,000 bushels, against 94,
704.00O bushels last week.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

KUO GRADING SYSTEM PROPOSED.
Local Dealers Take Mrps t Bring About
Needed Keform.
Steps are being taken by local egg dealers
to bring about a change In tho method of
handling eggs. Portland is about the only
large market in the country where some
sort of system of grading eggs is not fol
lowed. Here there is but one price for
country-run. and the farmer who takes
pains to send In a superior article receies
no more than the slovenly sktpper who mar
kets a dirty. Inferior egg. There Is no in
centive, under the present system, to pro
duce quality, and for that reason, Oregon
eggs, when shippe to distant markets, are
nearly always discriminated against.
It is proposed to" remedy this condition
of affairs by educating egg farmers to the
advantages of producing top quality eggs.
The first step must necessarily be taken
by the buyers. It is probable that a scale
of differencials will be agreed upon by
which the best grade of eggs will command
4 premium, and the farmers will thus be
induced to strive for a better marketable
quality. Work along this line of educating
the farmers has been done by the Oregon
Agricultural College.
A conference of local egg dealers will be
held in a few days and an effort will be
made to agree upon a system of grading
that will bring about a long needed reform.
WEATHER AGAINST BERRY TRADE
Local Market Is Demoralized by Large
Receipts.
The strawberry market was demoralized
yesterday by large receipts and only a fair
demand. Nearby shipments sold at 75
cents to $1.25 a crate. The weather Is still
against the trade.
Several crates of Imperial Valley canta
loupes were received, specials selling at
$2.50 a crate.
Vegetable receipts were light. A car of
Los Angeles new white potatoes arrived and
sold at $1.50 per lug box. New red pota
toes offered at 444H cents a pound.
Dressed Meats Are Weak.
Arrivals ot poultry were limited, but
dressed meat receipts were large and these
lines were weak.
The egg market waa ib; at unchanged
prices. The surplus over local sales Is be
ing stored by dealers.
Turkish Mohair Embargo KrmovH.
The Turkish charge d'affaires at Wash

exportation of moliair from tho Ottoman
Empire is again permitted.

rE.VDLETONr, Or., May 25. (Special.)
No wool sales were consummated at Echo

ders were numerous but not talkative.

vorable for Speculation Ei
ehanfie Market More Steady.
NKW YOlllv. May 15. The most con
ppicuuus feature of today's market waa its
extreme apathy. Compared with the pre
vious day trttdinft diminished over 60 per
cent. Another feature uf the session was
its nlainiv professional character, there be
in un Absolute absence of pub!lo Inquiry.
Dealings were asatn limited to the so-eailed
war specialties, with the difference, how
ever, that this eroiirt manifested more or
less heaviness throughout.
Opening prices wtro irregular and this
tone was maintained, subject to ante"'
chauites. until the afternoon, when trradual
recession took place in all branches of the
list. The session began with an abrupt break
in Itock Island, following news from Wash
ington that tho Interstate Commerce Com
mission soon would resume its investigation
into the financial affairs of that system
Kinal prices showed net loseoa of 1 to 2
points in a number of Issues, Including
United States Steel, Reading and fct. rtuL
In the early operations, such shares as
Republic Steel common and preferred
Pressed Steel Car, American Can and some
of tho coppers and motors made sralna or I
to 3 points. In the case of the first named
this advantage was soon lost, because of
the failure of the Republic Steel directors
to take expected action on the prelerrea
stock.
Foreipn and domestic developments were
of a nature to Rive the market pause. Cables
from London told of the poor success ot new
capital undertaking and bore intimations
of an unfavorable aspect regarding- the tone
of Germany a reply to tills tiovernment. re
vival of the Mexican situation and possi
bility of an extra session of Congress were
among the adverse home conditions.
Total sale of stocks amounted to 264.000
shares.
Exchange markets were more steady, this
condition applying to rates on Rome as we:i
as London.
Ronds were Irrecular. with weakness In
Rock Islard and Wabash Issues. Total sales,
par value, aggregated 1,83.000. United
