INQUIRIES FROM THE EAS1 Buyers Are Now Paying Up to $1.15 lor Best Oregon Stock Ship ments Are Chiefly Through the Old Channels. The potato market Is gradually advancing- j under a ' broader demand for the Oregon product. Buyers are now paying 1 1.15 for the best grades and farmers are offer ing with considerable freedom at these prices. The larger part of the shipments go In the usual channels to California and the Couthvesc. Eastern Inquiry for potatoes continues and Borne cars nave been sold to go Into Ten nessee, to New Orleans and to Texas points. but many of the shippers here are passing up Eastern orders, as they do not find the terms and manner of doing business, sub ject to Inspection at the other end, market conditions, etc, satisfactory. What Is hold ing down the movement more than anything else, however. Is the scarcity of cars in the IValley. The latest Government statistics of the Votato crop are bullish. The condition on I October 1 was placed at 62.6 per cent, as against 74.6 per cent, the ten-year average. The total production of the United States was estimated, from the October 1 condi tion, at 300.563,000 bushels. A month earlier he estimate was 318.492,000 bushels, show ing a decided shrinkage in September. The Government's final estimate of the crop in j IMS was 859.103,000 bushels, and the aver age for the five years 1910-14 was 860.772.- 00 bushels. The crop report gives the yield In the 12 largest potato growing states as follows: Five-Tr. 1916. miK. sv.raz. .. .24. 500, COO 22.010,000 2S.477.000 ...22.9M7.000 22.010.000 37.211.0il0 of the season arrived yesterday and was put on sale at $2.35 a crate. The bringing up I of California lettuce was made necessary by the killing of the local crop by frost. Oregon cauliflower was In larger supply and was quoted at SI. 50. A shipment of Jonathan apples was put on sale at 1. 05 .3 1.75 for extra fancy.. Yak ima Concord grapes were offered at 35 cents per full basket. Local Concords wefe quoted at 15 19 17 H cents for half baskets. GENERAL ADVANCE IN HIDE MARKET Buyers Are Now Quoting 18 Cents for Salted and 30 Cents for Dry. The strength shown by hide markets in the East is reflected in a new advanced buy ing list here. Salted hides are now quoted at 18 cents, which Is believed to be a record price for this market. Green hides are listed at 16 cents, dry hides at 30 cents and green and salted calf skins at 20 cents. The future of the market is uncertain, but I dealers believe that these high prices will prevail until the end of the year, or at least i-hile the good quality lasts. Similar lin.es are also strong, with ad vances in sheep pelts, goat skins and the like. Tallow Is higher at 8 cents for first grade. NO BIDS FOB BUTTER OK CALL but Buyers State Maine ...

STEEL SCORES WIDE GAINS Sew Record Is Established for Nor folk & Western Marines, Cop pers and Equipments Are Prominent in Trading. KEW YORK, Oct. 16. Events over the week-end, or, more likely, the absence of untoward developments, contributed to the confident tone displayed by todays market, which was characterized by unusual breadth. Prices opened at substantial gains In many leading issues, these being forfeited In part during the mldsession, irat in the final hour, the most active of the day, fresh buying, under lead of United States Steel. Mercantile Marines, coppers and equipments, forced quotations to highest levels and served further to efface the more serious reversals of the preceding week. Several new records were scored, Norfolk ft "Western risinar 2 to 147H, General Motors 25 '4 to 77014, and four for Atlantic. Gulf & West Indies to 97. Much of the belated advance was made at the expense of a stubborn short interest, which had reg istered Its opposition to si bullish revival by persistent pressure upon Steel and other leaders. Total transactions were slightly in excess of 1,000,000 shares, the last hour supplying one-third of the whole, and Steel, which made an extreme gain of 4 points to 113, furnishing about 20 per cent. Bethlehem Steel made a gross advance of 15, with two to five points In other In dustrials, equipments and munitions. Mer cantile Marino preferred's net gain was eight points, with four for Atlantic. Gulf & West Indies. International Paper led the minor specialties at an advance of 94 and coppers, zinc and motors rose irregu larly, but substantially. All the coalers kept pace with Norfolk ft Western, rtrength being most marked in Reading and Chesapeake ft Ohio at gains of 24 each The Pacifies were higher by one to almost three points, and seconitary rails, like Rock Island, Western Maryland. Kansas City Southern and Southern Rail way, participated to a like extent. Bonds were strong throughout on free absorption. Total sales, par value. S5.370. Ooo. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Damage in Argentina. CHICAGO. Oct. 18. Bullish foreign con dltlons. Includiug a decided failing off In world shipments, made wheat prices range higher today, although a liberal Increase of the United States visible supply total brought about anmewhat of a reaction late in the day. The close was unsettled at Se to c net advance, with December and May both at $1.57. Corn finished H He down and oats off c to He. Pro visions scored gains of 5c to 55c World shipments of wheat showed a de crease of 2.000,000 bushels, as compared with last -week, and of 8.000.000 bushels the corresponding time of 1915. The sig nificance of these figures, as viewed by the bulls, was much accentuated, owing to the fact that supplies on ocean passage had been lessened 4. 430. OOO bushels In the last week, as against an Increase of 6.504.0OO bushels last year. Besides, reports from Argentina told of a continuance of the drought and referred to uninterrupted en largenient of crop damage there. Sraallness of .SDrlnar wheat receipts at Minneapolis, Duluth and Winnipeg counted further against the hears and so, too, did export sales, estimated at 1.000. OOO bushels, said to be chiefly for the British and Dutch governments. Notwlt hatandir. sr the announcement of the United S'ates visible supply, followed by the chief decline of the day in the wheat market, the setback did not overcome all of the previous gains, and there was rally in progress when the tlnal gong hrourht Imdln- to a halt. It was noticed that on the breaks, some of the buying of future deliveries appeared to be for Eu ronean account. Corn was depressed by selling from specu lators, who, at the same time, were buying oats and mho contended that despite big stocks oats are at too heavy a discount under other grain. The visible supply fig ures, however, seemed In the end more then the oats market could stand. With abundant foreign business In sight, the provision trade ignored lower quota tions on hogs. Offerings of lard were not ably scarce. Leading futures rsnged as follows: WHEAT. history of the Mobile cotton exchange.

The members of the Washington State Board of Pharmacy, which are In session in Spokane to examine ap plicants for licenses to practice phar macy, are doing all In their power to suppress the sale of liquor in drug stores throughout the state. Immediately following- the closing of the saloons the first of the year, drui stores, particularly In Seattle, with a few bottles of patent medicine on the shelves and barrels of liquor In the basement, sprang up, they declare, but h rough the efforts of the Washington board this kind of bootlesrsrinsr has been reduced to practically nothing. We hope to go before the Legts- ature with a proposed law that will eliminate liquor from drug stores en tirely. A recent vote was taken by the druggists of the state, resulting in a unanimous verdict in favor of throw- ng liquor out of the stores," declared D. 3.
