THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TIIURSDAr, JANUARY 27. 191G. 5 20 CASH SALES GAIN WITH PROHIBITION Merchants, However, Say Time Too Short to Arrive at Definite Opinion. WEATHER FELT DRAWBACK .One l'i.-h lcalcr Says His Business Has Declined Because He Had . Worked Vp I-arge Trade in Shcim.-li With Saloons. uithnM-h mn.it rf the srrooers. meat . dealers and others who handle staple linen have not had enough time to ascertain whether the prohibition law Is adversely affecting their respective businesses, there are a number who have found that their cash sales nave ii..uH others have declared that although business is not as brisk as it should be they are mennea w the weather rather than the prohibition law. Gus Hlnnenkamp. West Side grocer, has not been able yet to detect any difference between the amount of busi h. rflrt before the first of the year and the amount he has done since that time. The Portland Fish Market manager rays he finds his trade has suffered slightly because of the business that he iiad worked up with saloonkeepers in shellfish. "The saloon men were the best buyers." was his statement, "and I miss their frequent purchases of ovsters, crabs and other shellfish." Most of the men interviewed said that the months of January and Feb ruary are quiet under any conditions and no Just decision can at this time be reached as to what effect the prohi bition law has induced. Weather Is Blamed. The manager of the Bay City Market. ISO Yamhill street, declared that he could see no material change in his business, and although his cash sales were not up to standard, he said that he thought the weather was respon sible, and not the prohibition law. Ben A. Bellamy, who has three grocery stores We have noticed a decided tendency on the part of custom ers to make larger cash purchases since prohibition went into effect. I really think we can see a decided improve ment in both the slxe of orders made and cash paid since prohibition went into effeort. -Men seem to have more cash to spend for their families . now that there are no saloons. We notice this change In the three stores. WJ H. Markell & Co. Three weeks' time does not show much, but on the whole our cash business has been satisfactory since prohibition went into effect. I am sure elimination of the saloons has helped cash sales..- I know one family where the father spent nearly everything in saloons and his , boy went half clad, but the boy now 'wears a new suit of clothes and the father is spending his money on his home that went into the saloons. 1 know other similar cases. F.ffect Slot Noticed Yet. T. L. Adams, of Kennard & Adams As we do a cash business we cannot " tell yet what real effect prohibition may have on business in general. I have no doubt that it will help us and others. Kindorf Bros., meat market We see a change in cash sales since prohibi- . tion went into effect, but three weeks of bad weather do not give a full test. We have no doubt but that two months will show an improvement in cash sales in meat markets, for men will spend money for their families that had been spent in saloons. Waverly Meat Market. 13 Clinton : street. L. A. Blacher, owner I ' can notice a change for the better in 'the matter of cash sales since prohibi ; tion went into effect. Men have more . cash to spend for food for their families and none for booze. There will be more Improvement . when the weather clears up. Webb & Webb, grocers. Woodlawn We have noticed an improvement 'since we have been in business here, ; which has been six weeks. Men seem to have more cash to spend for food.

E STOCKS BOOM ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY EARNS WEALTH FOR HOLDERS. Price Advance la Sensational, and Reports Are That Dividend of 9600,000 Is to Be Declared SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 26. (Special.) Transactions In stock of the Alaska Steamship Company running well up into five figures have gone through local brokers' offices and the banks of the city in the past few days, the stock touching 1102, the highest figure in the history of the corporation, which has its headquarters in this city. In the past 60 days quiet buying of this stock has sent its selling value up 15 to 20 points, and the present firm ness of the markets and facts known to those "on the inside" indicate that the price asked today, 9105, is low, for some authorities hold it to have a book value of $125. Wealth has been gained by a number of prominent shareholders of Alaska Steamship because of the sensational advance in the price of the stock. Among these is Charles E. Peabody, who is said to hold 200,000 shares of the corporation; John Rosene, long a stockholder in the company, and Man son F. Backus, president of the National Bank of Commerce. A year ago stock of Alaska Steam ship sold locally around $60 to $70. In the past 12 months the earnings of the corporation have been immense. It is reported a cash dividend aggregating $600,000 is soon to be declared. The company last October purchased two - iron freight steamships on the Great Lakes, which have since been chartered on the Atlantic on such fa vorable terms that they are expected to earn 75 per cent or more of their cost, or about $500,000 in six months.

The only way to keep your body rid of decayinff waste, matter permanently is by bringing about natural, regular action of the intestines. Laxatives, purges, and cathartics bring temporary relief but they bring also an inevitable reaction which leaves' the machinery of evacuation weaker and more dependent upon the repetition of the stimulation.
