THE jrORXIXG v OREGOmy, THURSDAY," 18, 191?. 22, 1017. SALMON NOT TAKEN Government Does Not Call for Stock Reserved Here. PRICES NAMED ARE LOW Fixing of Values by Food Adminis tration Under Current L,evel Checks Demand In Open Mar ket; Lull May Be Temporary. The announcement by the Food Adminis tration of iti decision as to the value of canned salmon, to be paid by- the Govern ment on such portions of the pack as have been reserved for Government use, has had the effect of checking the demand for sal mon at all points. No Columbia Rlvr sal mon has been taken by the Government, al though the packers on the river put aside a part of their pack for such use. as was requested by the authorities early in the year. The Government's decision not to buy any fancy cblnooks has. therefore, left the pack ers with a moderate, supply of this fish on their hands and no present inquiry for It. They are not worrying, however, as they believe the lack of demand Is only tempor ary, and the unsold stocks In" the aggre gate are not larse. The Food Administration's bulletin, an nouncing the prices, says In part: "The following are the prices for canned salmon (reserved for the . Government by canners from the 101T pack). Prices are net per dozen f. o. b. Seattle, Ban Francisco or other Pacific Coast common shipping points, and apply to unstrapped cases. Strapping will be paid for extra as per previous bulle tins. Salmon is to be the first quality of the kinds specified. Beginning December 1, 381T, storage at the rate of 2 cents per case per month or part thereof will be added: Interest from December 1. 1817. at the rate of 6 per cent per annum will accrue on Gov ernment goods not shipped prior to De cember 1, 1017. "Red ojalmon Cans containing 1 lb. net, $1.75 per dozen. ' Pink salmon Cans containing 1 lb. net. f 1.50 per dozen." As expressing the views taken by the Eastern trade when the prices were an nounced, the New Yoric Journal of Com merce says: "The prices fixed for salmon were a dis tinct shock to the trade. These were 1.73 tor reds and $1.50 for pinks. These figures cover the allotments of 18 per cent which the canners have reserved for Government use. The red prices are 1 below the pre vailing market price and the pinks 80c 'be low. These figures indicate that the open ing prices were too high, but the canners Insist that buyers have only themselves to blame, as their rush to buy the salmon, taking It all oat of first hands, caused the advance. This, however, ' does not explain the opening price of '-' 35 for reds." EASTERN POTATO INQUIRY CEASES Buyers Are Holding Off and Movement From AVest Hlows Down. . Destinations of Oregon.

Favorable weather conditions in the range country this Fall have saved thousands of dollars for cattlemen in Northern Idaho. Warm days, a fair amount of moisture brought about by light rainfall, together with absence of snow from the hills, have caused an abundant growth of grass. Last year .at this time the hills were covered with snow, and it was necessary to take the cattle to the lower lands, where they were fed on hay. With hay, aroimd $30 a ton and more at some points in the interior, an early snowfall this Autumn would . have worked a hardship on stockmen. COFFEE FUTURES MARKET ADVANCES Buying; Stimulated by News of British Vic tory in France. NEW YORK. Nov. 21. The market for coffee futures seemed to be influenced by the more optimistic view of today's war news, renewed covering and a scattering demand attributed to investment. The opening was 1 to 3 points higher and active months sold about 14 to 17 points above last night's closing figures, with December touching 6.95c and Msy 7.28c. Realizing caused slight reactions later, with the close showing a net advance 11 to 12 joints. The business Included exchanges of Decem ber for May at 45 points. July at 62 and 03 points and September at 79 and 80 points. December, 6.80c; . January. 6.90c; March, 7.09c; May, 7.25c; July, 7.42c; Sep tember, 7.59c. Spot coffee was reported In fair demand, with prices steady at 7 Ho for Rio 7s end 9c for Santos 4s. Cost and freight offers were about unchanged, including Santos 4s at 8.95c to 9.00c, London credits, steamer shipment. -The official cables reported no change In Brazilian markets except Santos futures, which were 50 to loo reis higher.

GAINS OF 2 TO 6 POINTS - Domestic Industrial Conditions Are Also More Satisfactory Bond Market Is Likewise Stronger on Broadening of Operations. NEW TORK. Nov. 21. Stocks were more susceptible to favorable Influences today than at any time since the widespread de pression engeadereri by the' Russian and Italian reversals. The British victory on the western front and significant developments in the domestic industrial situation offset further pessimistic advices from Petrograd and another slump in Italian exchange. Leaders rote 2 to 6 points after an early period of irregularity, cauxed in part by Pennsylvania's decline to the minimum of 48. Gains were Irregularly but not materi ally impaired on profit taking and short selling toward the close. United States Steel asserted its long-established leadership, taking the foremost position in the advance from its low quota tion of 95 In the first hodr to 88 M. but reacted to 97, a net gain of the smallest fraction. The rebound In rails carried Delaware & Hudson from RSH to 94 4. while St. Paul, Louisville & Nashville. Reading and New Haven registered extreme gains of 1 to 8H points. Canadian Pacific retained much of Its 4-pofnt rally, but other transcontinental were Irregular. Sales amounted to 800,000 shares. Lires suffered a further collapse to 8.84, with no material change for other conti nental remittances. Call money advanced to 5H per cenLbut time funds were easier. Bonds were decidedly firmer on broader operations. Liberty 4s moved between 97.80 and 98.20 and the 84s varied from HS.96 to 98.12. Total sales of bonds... par value, aggregated- $3,175,000. On call.

Formal announcement Is made that the railroads of the United State have decided If any crisis arises to place their interests In the hands of President Wilson for pro tection and such disposition as ,ie may deem necessary to prevent Interruption of trans portation during the war. The four railroads-brotherhoods, who have made demands for lm-reased wagf-s, have wreed to mediation of the dispute, but have refused an unconditional submiiion of ques tions to a hoard of arbitration. The announcement by the railroad war board Is regarded by officials as eliminating- the possibility of a strike by Riving the Presldpnt a free hand so far as t ie railroads are concerned when he meets the brother nood leadeia in conference Thursday. Questions involving- extent of application of the eiftht-hour day to contracts on Gov ernment work connected with the ar are expected to come before the American Fed eration of Iabor. "If." said President Gompera, discussing general Industrta! conditions in relation to war-time strike,- "employers In munitions plants and shlpards make unjuist -demands on the workers, not.ilng can be dune by tte American Federation of Labor to settle strikes. "Wo will do all we can to co-operate with the Oovernment. My sentiments in this matter are th same as those expressed by President Wilson when he spoke at the opening meeting of the Federation Rerolutions alluding o conflict of juris diction among masters and pilots' associa tions on the Pacific 'oajt were referred to President Compera for adjustment, mm Efforts of President Wilson's mediation commission to effect asettlement of differ ences over which employes of the Pacific Telephone A Telegrap.i Company struck re cently In Northwestern cities were resumed yesterday when the commission conferred with local officials of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and five representatives from Oregon and - Washing ton. The Northwestern representatives, W. FT junhlna and C. w. Hurd. of Portland; Frank Tustln, Heat tie; James Sutton, Ta coma, and O R. Hatch well, Medford. Or. presented their case. T.iey have no power 10 ma ko nnai settlement, t.ieir duties con sisting of hearing the commlwlon'i offer and reporting back to their respective unions. The employes' principal demands are a wage increase of $t a day and recognition of the newly orgsnlzed female opera tors' unions. The company offered a SO-cent-a-day Increase, but declined tha demanded recognition. Former Governor Oswald West, of Oregon, was present at the conference for a short time. .- Investigation Into th affairs of the Bankers Insurance Company, of Helena, Mont., will be started jointly ty represen tatives of the Insurance departments of Mon tana, North Dakota and South Dakota. An attorney representing a score of farmers who carried drouth insurance. Insists the company must not only pay the premiums but must use all of Its assets to meet losses as far as possible. . Eight accountants employed by the state of Montana have been given temporary ap pointments by the Federal Trade Commis sion and, with A. R. Peterson, of the Com mission, will Immediately begin an investi gation to determine the costs of producing cohI at Montana mines. The data obtained will be the basis upon whica coal prices at the mines will be fixed. New contracts In Southwestern coal mines carry the automatic penalty clause the operators have contended for and which Administrator Garfield has characterized as "satisfactory." It provides for a board of representatives of operators and miners and that miners are to have $1 a day de ducted from their pay whenever they close a mine before the board has passed upon the dispute, while the operators are pe nalized similarly $1 a day for each employe when they lock out the men without wait ing for tha board's decision. . Express compsnIs. seeking to be per mitted to charge higher rates, assert they are carrying on greatly Increased business "under the most trying conditions" and that their facilities are taxed for , beyond their normal capacity. It is- Increasinglv difficult, their application says, to obtain necessary labor, and because of the Increas ing demand for express and basrgage cars for movement of troops and military sup plies It has been impossible to obtain ade quate equipment. t In support of this contention figures, are cited to show thnt operating expenses and taxes of the four principal roads for the six months ending June 3ft. 1 ftl T, wore 9,6.".1,S-8 and receipts were $'.t9.6i3,9.. The deficit for July was estimated at more than SZuCLOOG. m That Klamath County is adapted to the qulture of sugar beets on an extensive scale has been proven again this year by the ex periments conducted in different parts of the county, according to E. J. Flanniwan, fteld superintendent of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, of Grants. 'Pass, who has been looking after the growing of about 10 acres of beets here this year for his com pany. The' ftah-Idaho Sugar Company last Pprlng made an of'er to the farmers of Klamath Cojinty'of $6 per ton for all mar ketable beets placed on the cars here for shipment to the factory at Grants Pass.

Further delay In construction work at the Watertown arsenal, due to strikes of union workmen employed by private contractors. Is to U obviated by hiring mechanics and laborers as Oovernment employes.
