1KIJIL OF CEiVlENT
MEN STARTED HERE
Aati-Trust Law Violation Laid
to Portland Firm.
SOME TESTIMONY READ
First Day Evidence Consists Mostly
of That Given in Previous lleun
ing by Tyler Hensliaw.
In its effort to prove that the Ore
gon Portland Cement company
violated the Sherman anti-trust law,
the United States government yester
day placed on the witness stand C.
I. Swigert, president of the Pacific
Bridge company, who testified to the
conditions surrounding the building
of the Interstate bridge in the spring
of 1915.
Mr. Swigert described in detail how
his firm had received price quotations
of 11.90 a barrel for cement from the
California mills and how the Inter
national plant at Spokane later made
them a price of $1.65, conditional
on the North Bank railway publish
ing a 134 cent a hundred rate for
Its product from its mill to Vancou
ver, Wash. The saving by this means
was $15,000 on 60,000 barrels pur
chased. Mr. Swigert then told how the 60,000
barrel contract for the bridge Job
was filled by the Washington and
California mills after they had
brought pressure to bear to keep the
low freight jrate off the tariff books,
they furnishing the material at the
$1.65 price. The vigorous protests
of the other mills in this instance
were held by the government to prove
their contention that a combination
in restraint of trade existed.
Two Official on Trial.
The trial was etarted yesterday
morning when the Jury was com
pleted after the exhaustion of the
available panel Thursday. R. P.
Burchart, president and Clark Moore,
ex-sales manager of the Oregon firm,
are the defendant officials.
The Oregon plant is located at
Oswego and the case for the govern
ment is being handled by Lester
Humphreys, United States attorney,
with Wirt Minor and A. B. Winfree
for the defense. In a former trial
of the case in October, 1919, the Jury
disagreed and it is expected that
the present trial will last for three
weeks.
In his opening statement yester
day, Mr. Humphreys declared that the
government would be forced to rely
on a great deal of evidence in the
form of letters and other documents,
"which will be like the piecing to
gether of a Chinese puzzle, but when
completed will show that the de
fendants assisted in the formation of
a monopoly of the cement business in
certain districts and then held up
prices by an agreement with the
Washington mills in the north and
the California plants to the south.'
Testimony Read to Jury.
A great deal of time) yesterday was
spent in reading to the Jury the tes
timony of Tyler Henshaw, president
of the Riverside Portland Cement
company near L.os Angeles. Mr. Hen
shaw was ill and permission was
given to use his testimony as given
in the prior case in order to save him
a trip to Portland.
Admission of this testimony enabled
the government to introduce some 35
letters and telegrams dated before
the alleged combination was per
fected, which, in the words of the
prosecution, "painted a picture of
competition as it really existed prior
to the perfection of the combination
and which showed the keen effort to
cut prices and market their cement in
1914."
Mr. Swigert was still on the stand
when court adjourned yesterday and
will be the first witness this morning.

CHICAGO. Dee. 10. Bearish economic
and financial developments had a good
Aead to do today with a sharp setback
which took place in the price of wheat.
The market closed hoavy, 5Sc to 6ic net
lower, with December $1.804 to $1.41, and
11 arch $ 1.57 to $ 1 .5.8. Corn lost 3 o
to 4 Vic, oats 2c to IfVi 2c, and provi
sions 22c to 72c.
Breaks in the value rt stocks, cotton,
liver and sugar put bulla at a disadvan
tage from the outset In the wheat market.
Much at tern ion was- also given to a state
ment from the federal roserve baak ol
Chicago pointing to imperative need of
liquidation of loans by country banks. Be
sidos. predictions were current there would
be a 50 per cent increase of wheat re
ceipts In Krivtis within a fortnight. Au
thoritative de-nlals that any such increase
was probable did not reach Chicago until
after th market closed. Meanwhil-e, the
market continued to weaken, although on
the decline there was free buying to re
move hedges on Canadian wheat that pre
sumably would he shipped to Ku-rope. Signs
of domestic milling demand were 'likewise
notfrd.
Corn and oats showed, imtcpendent weak-

The Chicago market letter received yes-
leraay Dy uveroeca at ,ook vo. ox Port
land sajd:
Wheat Liquidation came In immediately
after the opening and persisted through
out the session with support confined to
covering by shorts and holders of priv
ileges. There was nothing particularly
signiiicant in trie news developments, ex
cept a realization that affairs in general
are not shaping to th Interest of price
stability in any commodity. Fair-sized
ales were reported for export, but Dajed
almost unnoticed. With the exception of
red wheat, which held strong, the cash
market declined with futures. Official an- ,
tiowncment was received that Argentina
has lifted the embargo against importa
tions of wheat from that Country. We
are quite well convinced that the tendency
to deflate has not yet culminated and
that bullish news of most anv kind will
continue to be overshadowed by this sit
uation. Com Declined sharply with wheat, but
showed even less recuperative powr and
closed at the bottom figures. Receipts
showed a small increase and cash prices
were 2 to 4 cents lower. Country offer
ings to arrive reported liberal especially
throughout Iowa and Nebraska,
Oats Followed the down turn in com
and failed to respond to the reported im
provement In the shipping demand for the
good and sufficient reason that there has
been such a demand from time to time
for the past several months but of a
spasmodic sort and not permanent A
further lowering; of prices is to be ex
pected. Provisions Tower hog and grain prices
Induced liquidation which encountered an
madequate demand. For the past few
days there has been considerable selling
, of a character suggesting hedges against

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. The market for
coffee future was lower today, owing to
disappointing cables from Brazil, while
scattering liquidation may also have been
promoted by the weaker unsettled ruling
of other markets. The opening was three
points higher to seven points lower, but
only one month sold above yesterday's
closing quotation, and active positions later
showed net losses of nine to 17 points.

LDNDQill HOP BUYERS
ARE IT INTERESTED
American 'Demand Satisfied
for Present at Least.
DEALERS OUT OF MARKET
Unsold Stocks May Be Worked Off
Before Season Is Over, but
Prices Are Uncertain.
Hop men have almost given up hope of
any further buelness with England this
season. It is impossible to Interest the
London buyers in Oregon hops, even at the
low prices now prevailing, which indicates
that with the current English crop and
the large supplies previously contracted
for on this side, the brewers over there
have enough stock to carry them until
another crop Is produced. The beer out
put in Great Britain for the nine months
ended September 30, 1920, shows a con
siderable Increase over the same period in
1919, the output for the former period
being 20,547,863 barrels, as against 15,597,
987 barrels for the latter.
The domestic trade has been the only
outlet recently for the Oregon hops that
remain, which are mostly ot medium grade,
and this demand has now subsided. Last
week a fair volume of business was done
in mediums at 25 to 26 cents, but orders
for this class of goods have ceased to
come. A few choice lots changed hands
at 30 to 31 cents and probably a few more
of the same kind could be bandied, but
they do not appear to be available. For
the grade of hops now on the market there
are no buyers. Unsold stocks in Oregon
growers' hands amount to 6600 bales and
dealers are holding about 2000 bales, which j
will eventually come on the market. In
Washington some 3500 bales are yet to be
disposed of. 1
California has more hops than any other !
Pacfiic coast section, and as the growers
have come down materially In their ask
ing prices, these hops, particularly the
Sacrament os, come into direct competi
tion with the grade of Oregons that re
main on the market. Sonomas have lately
been selling better, aBout 4500 bales chang
ing hands at 33 to 35 cents.
Even with the market dragging- as it Is,
it is considered probable that all of the
1920 crop will be moved before the seasr
is over, but whether prices will impro re
cannot be foretold Judging from the pres
ent outlook, the prospects for the 1921
season cannot be called bright for such
growers as have not contracted their hops,
FIVE-CE"T DECLINE UT WHEAT
Hard White and Club Bids Reduced to
$1.55 for December Delivery.
Wheat prices dropped 5 cents again on
the local grain board yesterday, with $1.55
bid for December hard white and club.
Most of the buyers were reported ,to bo
out of the market and while farmers la
some sections were offering their wheat,
as a rule they were averse to taking the
lower prices.
There was nothing; doing in the coarse
grain market Oats were unchanged from
Thursday. Ho barley or corn bids were
posted.
According to a Chicago report, 1,250.000
bushels of wheat were taken for 'export,
and export business in rye was reported
heavy.
Calgary announced that a pool of 100,-
000,000 bushels of wheat is being formed.
Fifteen vessels were loading at Fort Will
iam yesterday.
A cable from Buenos Allies said : "All
restrictions on exports were removed. The
government's indecision in discontinuing
the heavy super tax on wheat exports is
causing much nervousness among wheat
traders. European financial conditions will
hardly permit the purchase of much Platte
wheat If this super tax remains In force."
Terminal receipts, in cars, were re
ported by the Merchants' Exchange as fol

NO SHIFTING TRADE IN POTATOES
Demand in Local Jobbing Market Is Lim

Potato trade was slow, both locally and
for shipping account. Jobbers were offered1
ordinary stock by farmers at OOc&$l, but
had to pay $1.25 and even $1.50 for fancy
graded potatoes, while the selling price
of the latter was Jiqt not over $1.75.
Conditions at leading shipping points

BUTTER MARKET NOT WEAK HERE
Unsettled Condition in North May Affect
Prices.
Local conditions "favor a steady butter
market, but weakness in the north has a
tendency to unsettle things here. There
will be no change in print prices today and
there is no certainty that there will be
any change Monday, but some creamery-
men look for a decline.
Eggs were steady, with jobbers asking
63 cents for candled ranch and 67 cents
for selects. The few lots of storage eggs
remaining were heid at 8 cents. No de
cline in prices until after the holidays is
anticipated.
There were no cnanges in the live poul
try market. A few sbipmen ts of dressed
turkeys came in ana the best sold at 48
cents. The demand for country dressed
meats was very slow and 14 cents was
the top -"price on fancy veal and pork.

WOOL MARKET LS ON LOWER BASIS
Movement Is Larger and Prices Believed
to Be at Bottom.
BOSTON, Dee. 10. The Commercial
Bulletin tomorrow will say:
"There is more wool being sold and
hetter feeling pervades the market, al
though prices are unquotable on a lower
basis. Many grades or wool now are be
lieved to be dragging on bottom and the
outlook for the more remote future is
very encouraging. Meanwhile there are
prospects that congress may pass a law
offsetting tne eriects 01 roreign exenange,
which will help the market. The de

NEW YORK, Dec 10. The stock mar
ket was feverishly Irregular and heavy
again today, prices of many prominent
shares recording new low levels for the
ear, though showing surprising rallying
power In the later dealings.
Shorts were extremely aggressive, ex

Further light was thrown on the back
ward) conditions In the steel industry by
the November statement of the United
States Steel corporation which disclosed
decrease in unfilled orders of Slo.'KM)
tons, far exceeding all forecasts. This
raws the bookings of the steel corpora
tion down to the lowest aggregate of the
year, but leaves the total at slightly over
,000,000 tons, as against little more than
,000,000 tons In the same period last year.
United States Steel was the most active
feature, fluctuating within a range of 1
point and gaining a fraction at the end.
Sales were l.loO.OOO shares. -
The money market retained all Its re

variable, rates to eastern Europe, notably
Greece, and also to China again breaking
harply, the oriental rate responding to
another new low record for silver in Lon

Convertible Issues were the weakest fea
