Receipts of dressed turkeys on Sunday and Monday were lighter than expected. Am a result, prices advanced and sales were made yesterday afternoon at 47 cents. It was thought the lightness of arrivals yesterday was due to the unwillingness of farmers to work on Sunday, as in. former years, in preparing the birds for market. It that was the case, receipts today should be large. Most of Sunday's arrivals went to fill out-of -town orders. The local de mand was stronger yesterday when It was seen the supply on the market was small. Retailers followed the market upward, most of them asking 55 cents for choice turkeys. There was a good stock at live poultry on hand and moat of it cleaned up at firm prices. The approaching holiday caused no Im provement in the demand for eggs and buying and Jobbmg prices were unchanged. The cube butter market was steady. Prints continued to sell at two prices. CORN FIRM IN GREAT BRITAIN More Offers for Distant Shipment From Argentina.

At present the maxi mum price prevailing in the United King dom does not permit of a profitable busi ness being done at or under this level. owing to tne excessive nign treight rates. There has been some trade Ln American mixed sorts at 80s per quarter for De cember and January shipment. Arrivals into the United Kingdom have been on fair scale and practically all Plate sorts. Oats continue to rule firm with good demand from feeders in evidence.

NEW TORK, Not. 24. Developments dealing with the financial market ever the week end and those reported In ths course of today's slow but confident ad vance of prices were almost -wholly favor able. Call loans opened at 7 per cent, the month's lowest initial rate, and held at that quotation throughout, large sums being available. Time money also, re laxed, but was in scant supply at 7 4 per cent, the maximum bid. Foreign exchange Inclined to greater steadiness, despite the new elements of uncertainty injected by the Italian situa tion, and reports from Washington re garding the coal conference were viewed with more encouragement. For the first time in many weeks tran sactions for the full day fell considerably short of 1,000,000 shares. Stocks, which featured the recent re action, were the strongest features, im pelling additional covering of contracts. In this rrouu General Motors. Plerce- Arrow, Crucible Steel and high grade oils j and shipping were conspicious at ex treme advances of 3 to 8 points. Sugar, textiles, leathers, and tobacco owed much of their strength to excellent trade relations. Rails and coppers were the only laggards, the latter being de pressed on intimations of another drop in the orice of the refined metal, due to the abesence of domestic and foreign demand. Sales amounted to 850.000 shares. Weakness of Liberty issues and local tractions featured the active bond market. Total sales, par value, aggregated $16,500. 000. . Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

EXEMPT FROM ALL FRENCH GOVERNMENT TAXATION 3150,000.00 FIFTEEN YEAR 6 GOLD BONDS Lyons, Marseilles and Bordeaux DUE NOVEMBER 1, 1934 DENOMINATIONS: $100, $500, and $1,000 We own and offer $150,000.00 of these bonds of the Cities of Lyons, Marseilles and Bordeaux, France, and recommend them as very desirable foreign investment securities. These are coupon bonds and are payable in GOLD COIN of tha United States, in New York, both as to interest and principal, with out deduction for any French government or municipal taxation. Each issue is a direct tax obligation of the issuing city and will be the only external loan outstanding. The Cities of Lyons, Marseilles and Bordeaux are three of the largest and most important trade and industrial centers of France. They were a long distance from the war zone and did not suffer from the hostilities. In our judgment these three issues of bonds offer clients and investors every element of safety and very profitable interest yield. PRICE 92.50. TO YIELD 6.8 MORRIS BROTHERS, Inc.

Chicago; OUR INTRODUCTORY IMMODESTY In establishing an office in Portland for the purchase and sale of investment securities, a few words about ourselves and our policies may be permissible as an introduction to the Oregon financial public. We began business in 1891 with straightforwardness and a capacity for hard work as our principal assets. Although we have not "set the world afire," we have paid our bills, treated our employes well, done some kindnesses and gradually extended our business into all of .the leading cities of the Coast. We are the oldest and perhaps the largest investment house in the Pacific North west, though our bid for patronage is based wholly upon our willingness and ability to be USEFUL, and not upon size and prestige. We finance firms, corporations and municipalities in a position to secure us with bonds, mortgages or preferred stocks safe enough for the large and growing clien tele which confidently entrusts its investments to us. While we try to be of service to the community and do not, therefore, despise small transactions, we are more particularly interested and adept in the larger loans involving $100,000.00 and more. We have one unyielding standard in making loans 'and buying bond issues, large or small SAFETY from which neither desire for profits nor ambition for gi-owth diverts us. We- have never lost money for a client, and if care and conscience will prevent, we never shall. We have a wide knowledge of men and affairs', of communities and values, in the Pacific Northwest, and while we believe implicitly in the country, we have a prop erly tempered enthusiasm for matters not yet proven and are not optimists WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. - We invite sound, non-speculative borrowers to avail themselves of our modern and extensive facilities for making loans upon adequate security, promptly, on fair terms, and with careful regard to the needs and abilities of the borrower. We offer to investors exceptional and not wholly selfish service ; particularly will inexperienced investors find us useful and dependable. We regard our vocation as an honorable profession, and our clients to be protected, not exploited. We are grateful for patronage but not so insistent upon it as to carry solicita tion beyond the limits of good taste, nor are we so ambitious to do a large business as we are to do a FINE business. We are satisfied to be spoken of in other communi ties as "thoroughly reliable." Our experience, facilities and advice in matters financial are freely available to client and stranger alike. We count good-will an asset, and work a fundamental necessity. Our policies require a selected "and carefully trained personnel, necessitating a gradual rather than a sudden growth. We hope in the course of time to build up in Oregon, as we have done elsewhere, a clientele that we can confidently face twenty eight years later.
