The most Important development In trad ing at ths stockyards yesterdsy was ths sale of a hair doxen head of strictly prime steers st S13.S0. This pries ts 60 cents above tbs ruling market and 23 cents more than was obtained for the same class of cattle last week. Ths deal Indicated clearly the pronounced strsogth of the local csttls mar ket, which, aa the stockyards company says in Its wsekly market letter, la a lull cents to SI a hundred hither than any other market on the Coast. Among ths day's receipts wsre a doxen hesd of Mon tana cattle, which came direct to pack era. Ths hog market was moderately steady In tons, though 117.73 waa tha best price quoted, and the bulk of sales were st lli.o.v The monthly report of livestock at ths stockyards published by the Bureau of Mar kets shows an incrssss In ths Dumber of stocksr and feeder cattle, hogs and sheep shipped sut during ths first quarter of IBIS aa compared with the same period lent year. The number of stocksr and feeder cattle shipped from 83 stockyards represents mors than 17 psr csnt of the totsl receipts st thsse markets, whMs ths number shipped from ths same msrkets during the first quarter of last year represented allchtly more than 19 per cent of the receipts. Thus It Is seen that, although the actual num ber or thin cattle ahlpped from the 33 mar ksts up to April 1. this year, was In excess or ths number shlppsd during ths corre sponding period last year, ths rstlo or ship raents to receipts dscressed by 11 per cent. Although the actual number of stock hogs snipped bsck to ths country is not great, theee shipments from IS msrksts during the lir.t three months this year represented 2 per cant or the receipts as compared to 1.3 Per cent In the c or ree ponding perior last yesr. llkswlse shipments of feeder sheep from 20 markets during ths first quarter Increase! both In sctusl numbers and In proportion to receipts, the number shipped In 1917 be ing slightly mors than 8 per cent of the receipts as compared with 12 per cent this year.

Yesterday was "straw hat day" by time-honored custom but where were the hata of yesteryear? Upon the streets there bobbed the rainproof and the perennial derby, but the merry month of 'May opened with scarce a tribute In the way of "straw lids." ' Nobody could blame the weather, for yesterday was well behaved and ex tended a genial reception to such straw hats as did appar, with neither wind nor rain to mar their advent.- At long- intervals. If one watched the pas sersby, a straw hat of last year's weaving- came hurrying by. But of the bright, new styles there waa a dearth that amounted, to almost utter abgenco. American Can..

Joiins Lome's firide," Co-oprratioa of Merchant), by Offering of InusunI Array of Bargains Next Monday, Planaed. Real momentum was given the move for observance of 'thrift stamp day next Monday, when leaders of numerous organizations or the city met in con ference with Julius L. Meier, state di rector of the merchants' division in the war savings stamp organization. This conference concerned Itself wltn preparations for the novel distribution of thrift etamps in Portland, Direotor Meier having sent messages and ap peals for co-operation of state mer chants through the mails. Briefly explained, the thrift day ob servance aims at a wide diffusion of the little 25-cent certificate stickers by having them distributed through stores and business houses in place of Quarters and half dollars, through the process of making change. The baby savings stamps will not be forced on customers, but all are being urged to accept them as a patriotic duty. On the part of the merchants there is to be helpful co-operation. One phase of this is to be the offering of an unusual array of bargains. By plan ning to make purchases next Monday housewives will effect many savings. If they will express their appreciation by converting the sums they are able to save into thrift etamps they will have given a practical exempliflcatltm of co-operation with the Government.

A call to war workers in the etate to participate in Oregon's first war conference to be held in the Auditorium May 22 and 23 has been issued by Gov ernor Withycombe. The plan of the conference has received the hearty support of the Governor, who declares that through such a meeting a general plan for holding various wartime emer gencies can be arranged. So many of the wartime emergen cies arising in the various local com munities are of a similar nature," says the Governor, "that it would be both helpful and wise to exchange views looking toward a uniform or co-operative treatment of the different situa tions insofar as a general plan could be worked out feasibly and comprehensively. The success of the coming confer ence depends largely, of course, upon the measure of support given by the war workers of Oregon, who have thus far enthusiastically and whole-heartedly promoted the general patriotic pro gramme. May I not, therefore, rely upon the loyal people of Oregon to assist the State Council of Defense in accomplishing constructive results?" DAILY CITY STATISTICS Vancouver Marriage Licenses.
