Increased Demand for Cheaper
Leather and Shoes Should Stim
ulate Buying: of Old Hides.
The hide market continues quiet, but the
undertone ts fairly steady. There Is only
a moderate movement here and local deal
ers are holding to their old prices. In the
east there has been an active business In
packer hides, and while country hides have
been by no means excited, the fact that
packers' stock is being cleaned up is en
couraglng as it may soon open the way for
a broader trade In country hides.
It is also interesting to note that the call
now is for cheaper leather and cheaper
shoes, which should stimulate business In
the poorer class of hides, which have been
a drag on the market for so long. The
stock of these has also been reduced by
large exports to Germany.
Of the enlarged dealings In the packer
hide market, trade advices from the east
say:
"Continued strength prevails In do
mestic packer hides, and other varieties
are a I no firm to higher, but at further In
creases there is less snap to trading. Packer
hides sold freely throughout all of last
week, with aggregate sales totaling around
120,04)0, exclusive of some good-sized book
ings by two "Big 3" packers as well.
Heavy native hides scored an additional
c. Increase, with sales of heavy native
steers up to 15Uc and heavy natlce cows
at 14c. While there la a brisk inquiry from
large buyers for all varieties of branded
hides st last trading rates, they are in
disposed to pay a further MjC Increase de
manded by all packers. The statistical
position of the market, however, Is very
satisfactory from sellers' standpoint. Up
steers up to 15 He and heavy native cows
agoinitt 1-MrC last paid, but holders have
been unabJe, thus far, to effect business at
the full asking basis of 13c."
In the forepart of the week, says the
same report, considerable activity ruled in
country hides, with some slsable lines of
back salting buffs sold at from So to 7c
Choice quality, good section, fresh buffs
are hold at He to 84c, with bids of 7Wc
declined for Ohios. Extremes are wsnted
In best quality, but at some of the highest
rates talked, 11 4c to 12c, tanners hold
back, entertaining Ideas of around 11c.
Cider lots bring proportionately less.

WHEAT MARKET HAS STEADY TONE

The tone of the wheat market was
steadier yesterday, but this did not make
more business. The country Is not sell

to India refers to business worked some
time ago.

the Merchants exchange to $1 and club
and soft white advanced 1 cent to 98 cents
No offers were made for the other grades
of wheat and there were also no bids in

Foreign Securities Are
Also Stronger.
NEW YORK. Not. A. Trading In bonds
again overshadowed oeaiings in all other
securities on the stock exchange today.
Various domestic and foreign Issues floated
during the war registered highest prices
for a year or more.
Libertr bonds and victory notes con
tinued to move forward under the Impetus
riven the investment demand ny nation
wide indications of easier credit conditions.
Most of the liberty series at thenr new
higher records showed extreme gains of
10 to 100 points. Victory 8s were at
their msximum for the year and victory
4s duplicated yesterday's record quo
tation of nar.
Among foreign btnds today's strength
was most marked in French government
8a and Belsian government 7i, these
gaining 1 !i to 3 points, respectively.
utner European issues, incjuains many
municipal Issues, displayed notable
strength and Chilean government 6s sold
st a premium over yesternay s suDscrip
tlon pries. Railroad bonds and similar
Lswues of domestic companies were only
moderately better, reflecting the uncertain
tone ef the stock market. Total sales, par
value, were 322.275.000.
Dealings in stocks were governed by
technical conditions. Issues in which the
short interest was believed to be dominant
moved hesitatingly, but became heavy In
the final hour, when call money rose from
3 to 5Vft per cent. Sales amounted to
575.000 shares.
The foreign exchanges were featured by
another slump In German marks to .043c
and weakness In Greek snd central Euro
pean remittances. British, French and
Italian bills were firm, improvement in
sterling being associated with latest
pects of the Irish situation.

BUSINESS RECOVERY 19 STEADY
Buying Mora Confident With Less Price
Unse ttlement.
NEW TORK, Nov. 4. Dun' Review to
morrow will aav:
Response to the constructive force ht
the economic situation doe not come
oulcklv. but evidence -of a revival multi
ply. The recovery would be more rapid
if fewer restraints were present, yet the
gain Is fairly steady and there 1 promise
of Its continuance.
A further lowering of money rates thl
week, reflecting the strengthened banking
position. Is an encouraging factor and a
lessening of price unaettlement make for
more confident operation In different
quarters.
While all ststlstlcsl barometer do not
reveal the Improvement in business, rec
ords of production in several basic Indus
trie are distinctly better, and a larger
employment of manufacturing capacity
tends to reduce the volume of Idle labor.
The latter is still of such proportions as
to exert a potent Influence on the public
purchasing power, but retail distribution
is somewhat stimulated as winter ap
proaches and offerings of goods at prices
satisfactory to consumers are being ab
sorbed with considerable freedom.
Weekly bank clearing were $6,681,660,-000.

Of Interest to Investors
DURING the past year we have been urging our customers to take
advantage of the low prices at which some of the best bonds in the
market could be purchased. Money rates were higher than at any
time since the civil war and bond prices correspondingly low. Those of
our customers who have followed this advice and purchased high-grade bonds have
been able to realize large returns on their investment, together with marked increase
of their principal.
The following is list of a few of the important issues which we have sold to
Oregon investors during the last twelve months, showing the prices at which they
were issued and their present market quotations:

We have also consistently recommended the purchase of United States Govern
ment Liberty and Victory issues. Some of the most' popular of these issues show
an advance better than eight points since the first of the year.
Present indications point to a steadily strengthening bond market. Securities such
as those listed above have not only an excellent local but also national market,
insuring easy marketability.
We buy and sell the highest grade Government, Municipal and Corporation Bonds
available in the world markets.

Predictions of Frost In Argentina
Are Also Bullish Factor; Net
Gains at Chicago.
CHICAGO. Nov. 4. Upturns in. the price
of wheat took place today, helped by
victory note at pax and by predictions of
frost In Argentina Closing quotations of
wheat, although unsettled, were 114 c to
2fec net higher, with December $1.01 to
ll.ultt and May li.06 to $l.tKS. Cora
gained c to lVc and oats Ho to c to
K c Provisions finished unchanged to
XOc higher.
At first the wheat market showed a
downward tendency, the result of an ac
cumulation of overnight orders to sell. The
fact, however, that values had broken 11
cents a bushel within a week caused a
reaction to be looked for in many quar
ters, and the question was raised whether
any considerable part of the United States
exportable surplus remained to be dis
posed of, estimates being current that
2O.U00.O0O to 50,000,000 bushels sold to the
seaboard were yet to be shipped. Par for
victory notes gave the wheat market a
decided stimulus at this Juncture. Dis
patches saying the Argentine wheat crop
was at a critical stage and that frost was
looked for tonight counted also In favor
of the bulla On the other hand, gossip
about disturbed foreign financial condi
tions appeared to be acting a more or
less of a check on the advance.
Corn and oats rolled with wheat. Rural
offerings of corn were light. More atten
tion was given to the movement fostered
by bankers and government officials to
aid farmers in holding corn for better
prices.
Provisions reflected the firmness of bog
value
The Chicago grain letter, received yee- !
terday by the Overbck A Cooka company
of Portland, follows: (
Wheat Sentiment was Intensely bearish I
last night but underwent a material I
change after the opening this morning,
wnen the market showed evidence of hav
ing been thoroughly liquidated. The tone
of the day's news was also more cheerful
,nd especially aa to the cash situation.
All Interior markets reported a better
milling demand at firmer premiums. Even
In Canada, from whence our most depres
sing news has been coming lately, the
reeling: was less panicky, with cash de
mand better and less wheat pressing on
the market. About 600.000 bushel of
Manitoba wheat wm worked for export
on the break and at the close It was re
ported three cargoes) of Pacific coast
wheat and two cargoes of Australian
wheat had been taken by India. The Im
portance of the Argentine crop situation
and the realisation tnat cne crop is not
yet made was brought to the attention
of the trade when today for the first
time this season a report was received
which was not altogether favonabVe.
Corn There was very little pressure on
this market at any time during the ses
sion and prices advanced easily to a pre
mium of lc to ie over last nunri
closing. Cash corn was again in good
demand at a small advance in premiums.
The details of the proposed plan of the war
finance corporation to store corn and
hold It off the market will be of vita:
interest to the trade. Should the plan be
put In force soon enough It might easily
relieve the market of the initial pressure
of new corn.
Oats Renewed liquidation In the nearby
delivery caused some weakness early, but
offerings were well taken and th under
tone at the close was strong.
Provisions Rather strong on light of
ferings and scattered support. '

NEW TORK, Nov. 4. There were fur
ther reductions In the market for coffee
futures today. The demand for December
contracts appears to have subsided since
the price sold up to 8.75c on Wednesday,
and a disposition to take profits on long
contracts in later deliveries during today s
trading was probably Increased by the
easier ruling of Brazil. The opening was
3 to 24 points lower and after some early
irregularity, the market sold about 18 to
8c- points below last night s closing figures
during the afternoon, with December sell
ing at B.47c, and March at 8.10c Decem
ber closed a lew points up irom ine lowest,
