PRICES HOLD STEADY HERE 1 Limited Amount of Wheat Trading j Reported From Country Points. ' Barley and Oats Are , Firm and Advancing; ! The downturn In the Chicago wheat mar ket, due to reports that the President would ' dispatch another peace note to Europe, had '..but little effect on the market here, and prices showed the same firm undertone as on Wednerday. Cash prices East did not re flect the weakness of the speculative mar kets. Inquiries continued to come from Eastern millers, and further business was Teported worked. Bids throughout the coun.-,- try averaged about a cent under the top y offers of the day before, and some selling was announced. At the Merchants' Exchange bids for Feb ruary bluestem were 1 cent under those of Wednesday, and for February club 2 cents, but other offers were unchanged. The official report of the Argentine crop Elves 7fi.000.000 bushels of wheat against 3 84.000.000 bushels last year, and 33.OO0.0OO bushels of oats against 80,000.000 bushels last year.

Liverpool Wheat Influenced by American advance and scarcity of offers. Manitoba and Winter cargoes practically not offered, making purchases difficult.

However, Are Not Affected. Peace talk is a factor In the wool market. thongh it has not affected the strength of . the situation at all. In fact, the recent .political eveuts connected with war have acted as an opposite Influence, say trade - advices received from the East. Authorl . ties In the trade, expressing themselves after the official promulgation of the policy ..w-hlch England would pursue, could see nothing to indicate any weakness In the w-ool situation. Former he)tvy buying and peculation and the stocktaking of mills are considered sufficient reason -.for the tem porary lull seen in wool selling. Another reason cited for some backward ness in buying is the establishment of such high prices as those prevailing. Manufac turers must be allowed some time to accus tom themselves to the advances which have " occurred, especially at a time when they are not pressed to cover requirements. They have bought heavily previously, so are under no immediate necessity of operating. The offerings of scoured and carbonized wools -which dealers have been moving about among themselves make no appeal to mill buyers at the extreme levels asked for them. Moreover, the latest offering from the prl mary markets abroad commands such prices . as to create apathy among buyers, in view oi me tact mat supplies from the same sources that were bought earlier but are ar- . riving bow are at a much lower level. COFFEE PRICES STEADILY ADVANCING Higher Market Whether There Is rears or War. "Whether peace or max. coffee bought now will ultimately show a profit. It is simply good Insurance to have available i sufficient coffee to care for normal wants for a period of three months. The market will fluctuate, reflecting the world state of mind as to the possibility of peace, but each advance with its accompanying races slon will leave coffee on a little higher level," writes a New York coffee authority. "The whole trade is in a waiting atti tude -pending the receipt of more definite news regarding the "probable course of events in Europe. At the moment no one Is Inclined to follow the market far In either . direction. But it is well to keep in. mind that nowhere near normal supplies of cof fee are In the hands of the roasters or re. taller. It is conservatively estimated that this discrepancy amounts to 2,000,000 hags end any attempt even to partially overcome - this would mean a most radical market de veloping. If simultaneously, the central powers should also attempt to supply their great requirements the biggest advance in coffee ever known would probably become an established fact." .POTATO PRICES ARE ADVANCED AGAIN Speculators Bid . I'd to High Point in v Grow In ar Sections. . Potato speculators seem to be partly -re- sponsible for a higher market at Valley rolnts. 7n some sections bids as high as $1.70 and 551. SO are reported, though ship- ..- Ters declare conditions in the distant mar kets do not warrant them paying over $1.50 to $1.40 for the best stock. There Is a demand from Texas and else where in the South around these prices. A good many cars are going Hart on old orders, but no ' new business for Eastern account has come to light- California does 'not want Oregon potatoes at the prices now ruling here. In fact, resales by California buyers have been reported. The onion market continues firm at the It-cent basis established at the close of last week. EGO MARKET IS ON DOWNGRADE Buyers Holding: Off In Anticipation of Lower Prices. The egg market was woaker yesterday with sales made as low as 35 cents c count, and single cases selling at 86 to 371.4 cents. Since prices resumed their downward courso buyers have held off. Butter was steady with extras held on the street at 846 and S5 cents. There was no change In the cheese mar ket. The leading handlers refused to name a lower f. o. b. price on Tillamook triplet than 20 cents. Poultry of all kinds was scarce and firm. i Dressed meats were also firm. California Celery Higher. c- Celery was quoted higher op the arrival . of a fresh car yesterday, the best grade selling at $5 a crate. A oar of cauliflower .was received and offered at $2 2.25. - car of dromedary dates was distributed on the street. They were put on sale at $3.7 s-4.00 per esse. 1 Naval Stores. " l' SAVANNAH.

PROFESSIONALS IN CONTROL Peace Shares Hit by Humors or Complications With Germany, and War Ust Suffers I-'rom Report of Another Peace Note. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. Rumors and re ports dealing with the peace situation were credited with causing a reversal In the stock market today, which carried prices down 3 to 6 points. Board room gossip revived reports of fresh complications Detween me United States and Germany, which ad versely affected the so-called peace stocks, while dispatches from Washington fore casting a new move by this Government in the direction of peace appeared to have a similar effect on the war issues. These and other developments createa confusing cross currents in the movement of prices, although it was apparent that professional traders were in control. Unsettlement began soon alter uio una opening, incorrect advices from Washington giving rise to the Impression that the Fed eral Reserve Board had issued another and more emphatic warning against American participation In short-term loans ot foreign and equipments, leather and. sugar shares, motors and their accessories, some of which opened with material im provement, ended at net losses of variable proportions.

Proposal Made to Have Possession of Fraudulent Measures Prima Facie Evidence of Gnilt. SALEM". Or., Jan. 4. (Special.) Spence Wortman, new Deputy Sealer 01 weights and Measures, is consid erlng calling in all district sealers for a conference to be held within the next few days to discuss recommendations for amendments in the weights and measures law, which he plans to place before the Legislature. He has under consideration a recom mendation to make the possession of short weights prima facie evidence of guilt. Such a law, he believes, would do away' with . "stool pigeons," make the law much more workable and more easily enforceable and have a general tendency to more efficiency in the ad ministration of the affairs of the de partment. AS the law stands, discovery of short weight in possession of a dealer gives no groundwork for prose cution. It is necessary to have evi dence of an actual sale of short-weight products. In addition he contemplates Issuing an order allowing six months to all dealers to dispose of scales not coming under the requirements of the law. Another recommendation which he is desirous of making is to require an gasoline pumps to have a totted meas ure, as well as a tested pump, and to have both the measure and pump sealed by the department.

WHEAT HAS SETBACK Chicago Market Acutely Weak for Brief Period. PEACE TALK STARTS SALES Export Business Is on Heavy Scale, but Prices Fail to Recover Pur chases by Foreigners Estimat ed at 2,000,000 Bushels. CHICAGO. Jan. 4. Kxport business on a huge scale failed to offset altogether acute weakness that for a brief time seised the wheat market today, owlnr to reports that President Wilson would make a" fresh effort to end hostilities in Europe. After an ex treme descent of S4 cents, prices closed nervous at net losses of lo to 2c. with May at $1.84 to $1.84 snd July at $1.49 to $1.50. Corn finished le to 2Hc down, snd oats off o to lc. In provisions, the outcome ranged from a setback of 10 cents to 274 cents advance. It was only for a few minutes that the whest market gave evidence of seml-demor-alizatlon. and plunired violently dom-nward beyond ordinary limits. The accompanying heavy selling hsd been Introduced by the peace news from Washington, but wns quickly countered by announcement that ex port sales of wheat aggregated roughly 2,000.000 bushels. Corn weakened chiefly en account of the enlarged country acceptances of bids from Chicago. The market, however, was steadied later by advices that the entente allies pur chased 1. 5OO.0O0 bushels in the last 24 hours. Oats duplicated the action of corn. It was sM that sales to the seaboard yesterday and today amounted to 6.000.000 bushels. Advanced quotations on hogs made pro visions average higher. Leading futures ranged as follows: -WHEAT. fpen.

FINANCIAL PLAN ISSUE MEDFORD ELECTORS TO VOTE OS CHARTER AMENDMENTS. Campaign. Waged on Medynskt and Hanson Systems of Providing for Obligations of City. MEDFORD. Or,. Jan. 4. (Special.) Interest in the city election January 9 centers largely In the Medynski plan of refinancing; the city, which was de feated a year ago and has been presented again for acceptance or re Section. This year there is a competing measure known as the Hanson plan de vised by Colonel Howard Hanson former assistant corporation counsel of Seattle. The Medynski plan involves the re- bonding of the entire pavement debt of approximately $1,000,000 and the refunding of $370,000 already paid into the city treasury by property owners. It provides also that the paving debt should be an obligation of the city Instead of the abutting property. The Hansen plan is a complete reor ganization of the city finances, includ ing the pavement debt, water debt and general obligations of the city. The present method of collecting paving assessments is retained, relief, however, being given in extension of time during the next 13 years and the. tax levy for the next 30 years outlined which would wipe out the city indebtedness without proving to be an excessive burden upon the people. There are two tickets In the field, one led by F. V. Medynski. originator of the plan, for Mayor; the other by C. E. Gates, former president of the Commercial Club and a prominent busi ness man. who as mayoralty candidate favors the opposing measure. LEWIS COUNTY BAR ELECTS Solicitation of Divorce and Probate .
