PICKING IS COMPLETED (Quality Equal to That of Eastern I'roduct Pack in All Other Sec tions Is lilght and Prlces Are Xovr at Record Mark. TV. E. Schlmpff, of Allendale, was In the city yesterday and brought word that the Clatsop County cranberry crop has now been picked and packed. The crop was a very good one this year and that of Pa cific County, Washington, was also larger than last year's. The total yield of Clatsop and Pacific counties is between 4000 and 6000 barrels, as against 2000 parrels last year. The section at the mouth of the Co lumbia was the only one in the United States that has shown a gain in yield over 11)10. All the crop has been sold, having been marketed through the Pacific Coast Cran berry Exchange, of which H. S. Gane, of Long Beach, Wash., Is salesmanager. The Pacific Coast growers are fortunate this season In having a crop larger than ever before, while the Eastern output la decidedly smaller. The entire crop of the Eastern states, it Is estimated, is no greater than that of the Cape Cod crop alone last year. As a consequence of the shortage Eastern cranberry prices are at a record level. The Jersey Exchange has named an opening f. o. b. price on Late Howes of $12 for the first and $12.5U for later shipments, which puts the Jobbing market here for Eastern cranberries at $10.5017.50, as gainst about $12.50 last year. Pacific Coast cranberries have naturally participated in the advance and were quoted by Jobbers yesterday at 15j 16.30 a barrel. By Its con tracts the Pacific Coast Exchange gets the benefit of the advance on most of its early ales. It Is not clear why the Pacific Coast cranberries are not selling on a parity with the Eastern berries this year. The Eastern deliveries are going to be very short, and the quality of the Western article la Just as good as that from the East. When cran berry culture was in Its , Infancy here, the berries were occasionally of Inferior quality, but now with the plants older, they are as good as those produced in Massachusetts. New Jersey or Wisconsin. They are altio closely graded, their keeping quality has been proved, and altogether they are the equal to cranberries produced anywhere. What prejudice has existed against the home Crown product heretofore should -this year be overcome. CENSUS OF WOOL. STOCKS TAKEN Government Survey Shows Increase of About 8 Per Cent Since June 30. The census of wool stocks in the hands of dealers and manufacturers made by the bureau of markets of the Department of Agriculture from tabulation of reports as of September 30. shows a grand total of 624.106.1IM5 pounds of grease, scoured and pulled wools and tops and noils. The re port of stocks as of June 30 gave a grand total of about 4X7,000,000 pounds. The increase in tije three months since the first census report is 37,000,000 pounds. Of this increase 18.500,000 is in grease wools, 17.500,000 In scoured wools. 5,000,000 In noils and 300,000 In tops. Pulled wools declined C,. 00,000 pounds. In grease wool the Increase was wholly In manufacturers' stocks, in scoured wools dealers' stocks in creased proportionately more, and in pulled wools the decrease was equally shared. The increase Is restricted almost wholly to cloth ing wools, with the combing totals only lightly changed.' The largest specific increases are in half blood greasy wool and in quarter-blood coured wool. There Is also noted a marked Increase in stock of low-grade tops, and a decrease In quarter-blood tops. An effort was made to obtain Informa tion from all concerns In the United States having wool, tops, and noils on hand Sep tember 30. 1917. Schedules were sent to 1300 textile manufacturers and wool dealers; 844 schedules were returned showing no tocka on hand and ten firm tailed to return schedules. For the June census 2200 schedules were eent out. 1138 were returned showing no tock held and 54 firms failed to return schedules. A comparison shows less waste circulation. It Is understood that this cen us Is to be a regular quarterly occurrence. COARSE GRAIN MARKETS STEADY No Speculative Trading in Oats or , Barley. The coarse grain markets were quiet yes terday and generally steady. At the ex change local oats were quoted at $48.50 and feed barley at $49.50. The world's visible wheat supply Is 61. 840,000 bushels, against 11)2,000,000 bushels last year. Argentine wheat shipments this year were 114,000 bushels to the United Kingdom, 76, 00 bushels to the continent and 59,000 bush els non-Europe. Terminal receipts.

A sharp cut in cheese prices was an nounced from Tillamook yesterday. The new f. o. b. dock quotation on triplets Is 23 cents and on Young Americas 24 cents. The decline was anticipated by dealers In view of theweaknesa of markets in the East. Butter continues slow, with country creamery extras quoted at 4444 cents and a poor demand at the latter price. The general quotation on city butter was not changed, but prints are selling as low as 4-3 and 46 cents. There was no change in the egg situation. Oregon ranch receipts were very small, but were sufficient at the price. Storage eggs Were quoted anywhere from 37 to 43 cents. Poultry was firm with heavy hens selling at 20 cents and light hens at 17, cents. Dressed -meats were unchanged. Carload of Yams Received. A carload of old-fashioned Southern yams, known In the South as Nancy Halls, was received yesterday from California.

There was a mod erate volume of business in the coffee mar ket today and prices were steadier on scat tered covering or Investment buying, which came partly from houses with foreign and cotton trade connections. The opening was unchanged to 2 points higher, and business seemed to be restricted early owing to the holiday in Brazil and the absence of the official cables. Later the market- was a little more active with December selling- un 7.21c and July to 7. SOc, or about 4 to 0 points net higher. The close was a shade off from the best under realizing, net un changed to 4 points higher. Closing bids: December, 7.19c; January, 7.27c; March, 7.44c; May, 7.62c; . July, 7.18c; September, 7.93c.

PRICES OPEN WITH GAINS Advances Are Reduced in Final Hour, but Tone of Market Is Bet ter as Consequence of Meas ures Adopted by Officials. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. An extraordinary change came over the stock market today in consequence of the stringent measures aaoptea Dy tne authorities of that Institution to restrict speculative operations as far as possible. Instead of the hysterical Mol tin ir and acute depression of the previous ses sion, prices opened at gains of 2 to 5 points among leaders. These gains were substan tially reduced In the final hour, owing to the weakness of coppers and some of the inactive rails, but for the most part net ad vances prevailed. Ralls displayed less strength than the sea soned Industrials, their recovery being re tarded by publication of statements of earn ings. Equipments, including sundry war shares and shippings, were temporarily higher by 2 to 8 points, but in a majority, of instances gross gains suffered large recessions. Sales amounted to 950,000 shares. Russian government bonds on the curb and Italian exchange recorded their great est depreciation since the war, but both ral lied sharply later. Sensational advances In exchange on the Scandinavian capitals were associated with sales of our stocks for those countries. Weakness ot representative bonds was the most depressing feature of the session. Lib erty 4s sold at par with 3 'is at 911.74 to 99. K2. totaj sales, par value, aggregated $3,62.1,000.

BUYING POWER IS WELL SUSTAINED Less Interruption to Business With Closing of War Loan. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Dun's tomorrow will say: With the closing of the second war loan, there has been less Interruption to business, and Its development has become more clear ly defined with activities again centering in regular channels. Lower temperatures are reported to have Influenced some late crops -adversely, but the effect elsewhere has been stimulating and current commercial transactions testify to a remarkable well sustained buying power, considering the ex treme prices. The movement toward higher costs has not perceptibly affected conditions in certain leading commodities, in which the trend was recently downward, and recognition that some supplies are growing more limited has Impelled efforts to previde against possible scarcity of needed materials and merchan dise. Where shortages actually exist and there is difficulty in augmenting produc tion, or even maintaining it, the markets have tended more strongly In sellers' favor and further advances are foreshadowed. Weekly bank clearings were $5,331,386,105. Chicago Dairy Produce. CHICAGO, Nov. 2. Butter unchanged. Eggs Receipts. 6031 cases, unchanged. Dried Fruit at New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.

TONE AT CLOSE IS HEAVY Last Prices Are 1 to 3 Cents Lower Than on Thursday Re ceipts of Sew Grain Increas ing Oats Also Are Weak. CHICAGO. Nov. 2. Cofti prices underwent a decided setback today, influenced to a large extent by the generally unsettled trade situation and by augmented receipts of new grain. The market closed heavy, llic to 3!c lower, with December $1.1344 to $1.15H and May $1.10H. Oats fell He to He to c. The outcome in provisions was un changed to 22c down. Aside from the disturbed condition of the security market, the temporary shutting down of a somewhat conspicuous Industrial plant here made holders of corn uneasy from the outset. v Oats merely reflected movement of com. The decrease In warehouse stocks here and In the West had only a transient bullish ef fect on provisions. Profit-taking sales be came popular and led to a sharp downturn at the finish.

NEW ROUTE ADVOCATED OLD RAILROAD GRADE PROPOSED IIETWEEX PEMDLETOS AND ECHO. Backers ' Declare Large Territory Would Be Benefited and Early Decision la Needed. PENDLETON", Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) In the belief that the fcrade of the old Oregon-Washington Itallroad may be used as the basis for a water-level read from Pendleton to Echo, a num ber of Pendleton business men and farmers have started a move to have the State Highway Commission locate the state road between these two towns so that it will pass over the old rigrht of way, down the Umatilla River, in stead of over the hill where the pres ent road lies. For this purpose an association, to b known as the Umatilla County Water Level Good Roads Associaon, has been formed, with two well-known stockmen at the head, William Slusher, as chairman, and Can P. Smythe as sec retary. The chief argument for the new route, aside from Its scenic advan tages, is that it would be available for a large territory on the south side of the Umatilla River, between Coombs Canyon and Butter CreeK. The Umatilla County Court is mak ing preparations for grading and grav eling the road between here and Echo and one route or the other must be se lected soon.
