FEED TRADE ACTIVE
Seven Hundred Tons Sold on
Local Board.
PRICES TENDING UPWARD
Oats. Barley and Corn Firm In Re
sponse to Advances In Eastern
Markets Mill Stuffs Steady
Witn Spot Demand Strong.
Seven hundred tons of coarse grains and
mill feed were sold at the Merchants' Ex
change yesterday, the largest business done
on the floor In recent weeks. The prices
Indicated a stronger market, all around for
grain.
The following were the sales posted:
100 tons November No. 2 white oats. . .$49.25
loo tons December 38-pounds Eastern
clipped oats 45.75
lOO tons December 88-pounds Eastern
clipped oats 45.R0
200 tons December No. 1 feed barley.. 51. SO
loo tons February No. 3 yellow corn.. r3.00
100 tons December shorts 31.00
Bids for corn were $ll.ri0 higher than on
Tuesday in sympathy with stronger markets
East. The corn crop is 20 to 30 days late
and the early arrivals at Eastern markets
carry an unusual per cent of moisture, so it
will be late in the season before corn Is in
condition to ship to this coast.
The heavy movement in Eastern oats Is
over and as stocks have been readily ab
sorbed, owing to the relative cheapness of
the cereal, prices are firming up at all
points. The Chicago market closed about 1
cent higher and local bids were raised $ 1.25
a ton. Barley is also firmer at all points
East and West.
I change has been, made by mills in lo
cal mill feed prices and with the spot de
mand continuing good the present prices are
likely to hold throughout the month. It is
expected that stockmen's wants for the Win
ter will be generally supplied by December
1. and as the output next month is likely
to be as large as now. December prices may
show some decline. ;
Weather conditions in the Middle West,
as wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis and
Duluth, part cloudy, cool ; Winnipeg, clear;
Chicago, Illinois, foggy, cool; Peoria, foggy,
40; St. JL.ouis. foggy. 45; Kansas City and St.

OREGON M'OOL HALES AT BOSTON
Movement in Territory Wools Not as Active
as Heretofore.
Wool Is not moving as briskly at Boston
as heretofore, but a very fair movement is
reported for the past week, including a num
ber of lots of Oregon wool. A quantity of
fine medium Oregons was sold on a clean
basis of $1.6Q 1.70, while some short cloth
ing Oregon changed hands at 45 cents for
wool shrinking 70 per cent, or about $1.50
ciean basis. Fine and half-blood staple
Montana, Wyoming and Soda Springs
brought around $1.75 clean basis in the orig
inal bags.
There has been some call also for medium
territories at 68 70c for quarter and three
eighths combing wools, respectively, of the
better types, such as Soda Springs and Mon
tana -wools. These wools are constantly get
ting Into narrower supply, as axe all me
dium wools of about this grade.
About 100,000 pounds 12 months' Texas
wool is reported to have been sold In one
quarter, at $1.75 to $1.80 clean. The new
Fall Texas wools have been shorn, but no
movement in them is reported under way in
the country. The general market for Texas
wools is below the level of the sale noted
above. 12 months being quoted at $1.65 to
$1.75 and eight months' at $1.55 to $1.60.
AIX FLOCK MILLS REQUIRE LICENSES
Small Plants No Longer Independent of
Food Administration.
Every fiourmill in the United States has
been brought under the control of the
United States Food Administration. By the
original order, mills of 100 barrels dally ca
pacity were not subject to license, but a new
ruling requires that small as well as large
mills shall be regulated, so as to work In
harmony In all matters with the Food Ad
ministration. The following bulletin has been Issued by
TT. B. Wilcox, chairman of the Pacific Coast
district of the Food Administration, milling
division:
"Under a ruling just received by this of
fice, it has been determined that all mills
must have a license. This supersedes all
previous Instructions and settles once and
for all time the question as to which mills
should be licensed and which should not.
Every mill must have a license. Mills which
have not obtained licenses should apply at
once to License Division of the United
States Food Administration, 817 Fourteenth
Street Northwest. Washington, D. C.
BEER SALES MAT NOT BE AFFECTED
Alcohol Order of Revenue Ie part men t Is
Optional With Brewer.
In response to an inquiry- from McXeff
Bros., hop merchants of this city, Daniel C.
Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
wires that the regulations issued providing
for the removal of alcohol from beer and
conversion of the residue Into a soft drink
are optional with the brewers of either dry
or wet states. The ruling wilL therefore,
have no marked effect on beer sales.
Hop trading continues light in this state
and the market is holding steady. A lot of
10O bales at Salem was sold at 25 4 cents.
The California market Is more or. less
blocked by the formation of the growers
holding pool. Revised crop figures show the
California yield to have been 86,145 bales,
or 36,000 bales short of the crop of last
year. Unsold stocks in California are esti
mated at 16.815 bales. In Oregon and Wash
ington about 5000 bales remain In first
hands.
EGG PRICES ARE NOW DECLINING
Arrival of Fresh Eastern Stock Bring
Down Price of Oresons.
There was an easier feeling in the egg
market yesterday in consequence of the
arrival of two cars from the East. These
eggs were put on the market and were
found to be of first-class quality, which
made the high prices asked for the home
product difficult to maintain.
Butter was weak and sales dragged.
t Country creamery extras were offered as
low as 43 cents, but buyers held back.

HEBOUND IN STOCKS
Substantial Recoveries Made
by Wall-Street Market.
SELLING EXHAUSTS ITSELF
Still Higher Prices Blight Have Been
Scored but for Increased Heavi
ness of Bonds Representative
Shares Gain 2 to 6 Points.
NEW YORK, Kot. 7. Active stocks made
substantial recoveries today from recent low
quotations after an early spasm of weak
ness. Rallies, It was generally believed,
might have made greater progress but for
the increased heaviness of bonds, many of
which registered new minimum!.
The most obvious inference drawn from
the day's operations was that the pro
tracted liquidation had exhausted Itself, ren
dering additional short selling extremely
hazardous.
Apart from lower prices for local utilities
there were no Indications that yesterday's
election exerted more than passing In
fluence. Gains were most pronounced In the stocks
which recently experienced greatest loss,
namely, high-grade rails and standard in
dustrials. Today's rebound carried Read
ing, Great Northern. Union Pacific, New
York Central and Illinois Central 3 to 6
points over Monday's depressed levels.
United States Steel made a gross ad
vance of 3 to 95H. and other steels and
equipments were 2 to 6 points higher at
their best, shading, however, on recurrent
realizing in the last hour. Shippings and
coppers rose 2 to 3 is points, but eased with
the general list.
The trading after the Initial tremor was
quite regular, although a few dormant Is
sues like Atchison at 83 and American
Telephone at 109 wers added to the long
list of new low records. Brooklyn Transit
also made a new minimum at 47 and New
Haven's drop of 3 points to 21 put that
stock within a slight fraction of Its lowest
quotation. Sales amounted to 975. Ooo shares.
Internationals, notably war flotations, led
the general decline in bonds. Liberty 4s were
firm at par to 100.02. but the 3ti weakened
from 99.60 to the low record of 99.44.
Total bonds sales, par value, aggregated
$4,575,000. .United States bonds, old lusues,
unchanged on call.

"JOBBERS' TRL'ST" EXISTS IN SOUTH
Allegations Voiced to Joint Congressional
Committee.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. Allegations of
representatives of intermountain states,
voiced at the .leering of the Joint Congres
sional committee on interstate commeri-e
here, that "a Jobbers' trust" exists in fcjan
lancis. o, that this city enjoys special privi
leges in the matter ot railroad rates and
that unfair competition exUta between inter
moutain and Pacific Coaat states, to the
great disadvantage of the former, were dle-
pmta touay by beth Mann, traffic expert of
the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Munn said the intermountain region was
try In k to take advuntase of war conditioim
by denying competition between railroads
and water carriers." He baid :
"Traffic through the Panama Canal, sus
pended, because of the war. will be resumed
after the war and water competition, will
exist more strongly than ever.
ban b ranclsco s Jobbing and manufactur
ing has developed marvelous ly, but practi
cally all of our raw material must be trans
ported from the Kast. Therefore, unless we
have low rates, we would have to go out
of business. If tho railroads cannot make
their earnings on ' the Coast, they must
make them' la the intermountain region."

Industrial Notes.
TO remedy the shortage of commercial coal

empty box and single-deck stock cars mov
ing west or northwest over tneir lines as
may be required to transport coal reedy for
shipment West or Northwest, according to
the direction in whicn sue a cars are oeing
The order specifies that commercial coal

that a large amount of coal may be saved
by dimming signs and Is at work now on
regulations to be put Into force.
A promise of co-operation In fuel saving
has been made today by the heads of public
utilities concerns through their organiza
tions, the National committee on gas and
electric service. After the electric sign
problem has been disposed of the fuel ad
ministration will take up the question of
saving fuel by cutting off supplies to indus
tries classed as non-essential during the
war.
Forty prominent' members - of the Amer
ican Electric Railway Association, whose
membership is made up of officials of the
principal city and interurban railways of
the United States, have organized a war
board to work in close co-operation with
the Council of National Defense at Wash-
jlngton The war board will place -every
HUSKNG
facility of tho electric railway industry at
tho service of tho Government.
Declaring their willingness to turn over
the entire output ef their plants to the Gov
ernment, if necessary, the Association of Pa
cific Fisheries met at Seattle to discuss plans
for co-operation with the Government in
food-conservation measures. Frank Warren,
of Portland, was re-elected president; W. L.

The strike of 3500 employes of the Fore
River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Company is declared to have been respon
sible for the failure of the company to
carry out plans to launch two Government
vessels Friday. Officials said the machin
es walked out without conferring with the
officers of the company and without any
attempt to adjust grievances.
The Federal mediation commission, headed
by Secretary W. B. Wilson, which 'is in
quiring into labor conditions in the Arizona
copper camps, is Investigating tho deporta
tion of 1200 alleged L W. W. members
and their sympathizers during the copper
miners' strike last July. Sheriff Harry C.
Wheeler, who superintended the deporta
tions, and Miles W. Merrill, president of the
Loyalty League, which was active In the
antl-L W W. movement, and B. T. Wat
kins, another leader, were heard by the
commission. Men who had been deported
and others who had complaints were- heard.
Thirty-eight mines, with a production of
25,000 tons of coal a day. are inactive In
the Pittsburg district. The strike of coal
miners was begun as a protest against the
action by Dr. H. A. Garfield, National fuel !
administrator, in refusing to sanction the
penalty clause in the agreement recently
signed between miners and operators in
Kansas City. V

cate of Federal incorporation, failed to
shake him on this point.

Anchorage to deliver the carjo. If she tails
to reach Anchorage, the shipment will be
unloaded at Seward.
Coal was advanced 45 cents a ton to the
consumer today hy most of the large retail
establishments of Colorado. Retailers say
the increase is to absorb the recent ad
vance granted by the Federal fuel admin
istration.

operation between the cl en ranee committee
of the war Industries board of the National
Defense Council and the allied purchasing
commission, offices In the council's new
building In Washington have been turnea
over to the commission. Pxirchasing agen
