HOLDS SEVENTEEN CARS
Portland Man Will Dictate Prices
on the (Yast for the Next Few
Months A Big Shortage
Is Now Apparent.
The small remalnlnB "tock of onions In
Oreron has ben practically cornered by D.
E. -Meikle. one of the leading commission
men of this city, who In the past week has
been operating quietly in the country and
has secured control of everything left, so
far as he knows, except two cars of Rood
onions. His holdings aggregate about 17
cars of Oregon onions. This is an unusually
small quantity of onions available at this
time of year. San Francisco alone usually
consumes about 40 cars of Oregon onions
in the month of April, and it is likely the
Sound markets. 9pokane and Butte will need
six or eight care more. The supply being so
small, higher prices are assured. Further
more, if any one wants to buy onions be
fore the new crop cornea on. they will have
to call on Mr. Meikle. 8ome of the hold
ings he bought outright at high prices and
the others were turned over to him by the
growers to dispose of at his own discretion.
Other dealers are in the country offering
as high as 2 centa. but there ii practically
nothing left for them to buy.
There was no meeting of the Confederated
Onion-Growers' Association yesterday after
noon. The few members that showed up
nere In excellent spirits and were confident
that prices even higher than those now
current will prevail.
It Is a mystery what has become of ail the
shipments sent to San Francisco since the
road was reopened. Tt was feared the large
cupply sent there would break that market,
but Instead prices advanced steadily. This
cause a belief that many of the lota were
diverted to other points. Some Nevada on
ions are being offered on the San Francisco
market, but it Is said the supply in that
state la about cleaned up. The markets on
the Sound and In other Coast cities are all
very strong. 4 No Australian onions, so far
as can be learned, are on the way.
The prospect for good prices next season
seems flattering. A large extent of terri
tory In California devoted to onlnn-growlng
has been flooded, which will materially re
duce the crop. Oregon growers will not be
so raady to contract their onions this year
as they were last.
POTATO MARKET HOLDS STEADY.
Eastern Arrivals May I-aler Cause a De
cline Shipping Nearly Over.
The best that can be said for the San
Francisco potato market Is that It Is eteady
under liberal arrivals. That there Is not
much likelihood of its going higher Is evi
dent from the large quantity of Eastern
potatoes on the way to the Coast. This
factor may rather tend to depress values.
Several of the leading shippers are
about to close their offices here for
the seaaon. as then Is but little
more local itock left to work upon. What
remains In farmers' hands In the state,
probably not to exceed 100 cars, will be
required for home consumption before the
new crop Is available. Thero are also a
good many cars of dealers' stock that will
be retained here for the home trade. It may
be that aome Eastern potatoes will be
needed to fill out late requirements, but It
Is not probable that many will be Imported.
GOOD MAKRKT FOR VEGETABLES.
Home Grown Produce Will Soon Be In Bet
ter Supply.
The local supply of vegetable yesterday
was small and by the close of business
hours. Front street was practically cleaned
up- The steamer Roanoke is due tonight
with a fair assortment. Local rhubarb will
be available as aoon as the weather clean
up and in about ten days local asparagus
will be on the market. Some home grown
cauliflower is coming in and is taking the
place of the California article, which has
been arriving In poor condition.
A car of oranges and a car of lemons
comprised the fruit receipts from the South.
Apples are in excellent demand and the cold
storage supply Is being drawn upon. A few
lots are received from the late sections.
Eggs Scarce and Higher.
The feature of the country produce mar
ket was the scarcity of eggs. Arrivals were
not even large enough for local require
ments and a further advance in quotations
was reported.
The supply of poultry was small and a
good demand kept prices at the top mark.
Further weakness In the butter market
was reported on Front street, and some of
the city creameries now have a surplus.
There was no change In prices yesterday.
Provision Are firm.
Although the provision market Is very
f.rm, no changes In cured meats or lard are
noted in the new price list of the Union
Meat Company. In fresh meats, there are
advances In beef and mutton cuts.
lUM County Hop Sale.
EVQENE. Or., April. 8. (Special.) A sale
of 180 bales of hops has just been reported
but the prices are not given out. C. L
Fitchard. who purchased the Sommervllle
hops, says tkat the price paid was consid
erably in advance of 5c, reported by The
Oregonlan. April S. He states also that the
price paid for the Tollman hops was much
In advance of the 3 4c reported, but admits
buying a lot of SO bales at 8c.

RECOVERY WAS TOO FAST
Strong Bank Statement Taken Ad
rantage of to Facilitate Liqui
dation Bonds Are Very
Strong and Active.
NEW YORK, April 6. Week-end
profit-taking; was the obvious influ
ence at work in the day's stock mar
ket. It was conducted with the same
skill that was before manifested and
which gave confirmation to the con
viction that it was done by experienced
and resourceful speculators.
The prominence in the market of
t'nion Pacific. Southern Pacific, St.
Paul, Amalgamated Copper and Ameri
can Smelting gave rise to the usual
assumptions of participation bj the
Standard Oil party in the market, ow
ing to the supposed favor felt toward
most of those stocks by that group of
capitalists. But these stocks were al
most alone among the active stocks in
showing any notable strength, and
their advancement looked like a device
to hold the general market up to help
realizing sates in other stocks. Those
stocks yielded with the rest of the
market in the late reaction, which
made a weak closing at the lowest
prices of the day.
The profit-taking sales became gen
erally effective in weakening the mar
ket only after the appearance of the
bank statement, although the showing
of the banks was very strong. The
cash Increase of $10,500,000 fell
short of expectations, however, and
the $6,143,000 loan expansion helped
to swell the deposit item and the re
serve requirement. It is not expected
that the deposit of custom's collections
in New York banks will go much fur
ther in the immediate future, and this
has been the principal source of the
recent heavy cash gains of the banks.
The strong upward movement of for
eign exchange also, which continued
today, gives point to some of the re
ports from abroad that conditions in
Berlin still leave something to be de
sired. The suggestion found a place In the
day's discussion that Eastern railroad
systems would have to meet at an
early date the demands of employes
for Increase of wages similar to those
which have been adjusted this week
among the Western railroads. The
principal factor in the day's reaction,
however, was the desire to realize
profits on the considerable advance of
the week, which was heightened by an
opinion expressed in some quarters
that the recovery was going too fast
and too far.
The feature of the day was the con
tinued strength and activity in the
bond market. Total sales, par value,
$1,348,000.
The trend of prices of securities turned
decidedly upwards this week. The domi
nant influence has been the relaxation in
the money markets, which has become
pronounced and has applied to all the
great money centers of the world. The
combined causes which have brought
about this result have worked with cumu
lative effect, leading in something like
a collapse in interest rates in New York.
This turn in affairs has given rise to a
cheerful sentiment over the future, mark
ing as it does a correction of the most
threatening feature of the financial out
look and promising relief from a restraint
on enterprise that was feared as an ob
stacle to the whole course of the present
prosperous condition of trade and indus
try. How far the improvement In the
money market shall operate to avert the
evils which are believed to be overhang
ing the financial and industrial outlook
constitutes a subject for the closest at
tention and study of the financial world
at the present time.

CARS WILL RUN IN 30 DAYS.
With seasonable weather cars will
be running over the first 15 miles of
the Chicago-New Tork Electric Air
Line in 30 days. The first section of
the road will connect Chicago and La
Porte. Indiana. A strong attempt will
be made to push, the line to Goshen,
Indiana, by the end of this year. This
will complete the first division of the
road and will be a railroad in itself,
with every promise of malting big
profits from the start.
The first division will pass through
five Indiana counties with an aggre
gate population of 200,000. Realizing
that lt will help local business and local
farming and will add greatly to the
convenience of those whose business
takes them to other towns, the residents
of this section welcome the road. They
are actually impatient for its comple
tion. CHICAGO, THE METROPOLIS.
Chicago, with Its 2,000,000 population
and a marvelously growing business,
wants all the roads possible. Those it
has now are so woefully inadequate
that canal projects to aid the city are
taking definite form. Deep waterways
One of the Hnndred-Mile-auB-Hotir
Electric Ens'nca That Will Take
Train to New York In Ten Hour.
connecting Chicago with the Gulf of
Mexico, and by way of the Georgian
Bay, to tidewater at Montreal, would
make Chicago the metropolis of the
continent. James J. Hill declares that
the Trent Valley Canal, now partly
built, will be completed from the Geor
gian Bay to Lake Ontario at or near
Belleville. Ontario, and that this canal
will ultimately command the slow
freight traffic of the whole Canadian
Northwest, cutting in half the cost of
delivering Manitoba wheat at Atlantic
tidewater.
When ships can load for Europe at
the docks of Chicago there will be no
limit to the business possibilities of that
city and to the electric roads which
would be its passenger and freight
feeders.

on the new territory in Pennsylvania
which, because of a present lack of di
rect traffic line to the largest outlets,
the Air Line will open to profits pre
viously unknown. It will suffice to say
that the Air Line will pass through and
develop In Pennsylvania one of the
richest coal fields in the world.
Now. however, the fact to be empha
sized is, that the first division of the
road will be a paying railroad in itself.
The first 100 miles with Goshen, Indi
ana, as the Eastern terminal, will fill
a want long felt Already the popula
tion is there and the business is there
to insure the success of the road. And,
as Governor Stuart, of Pennsylvania,
said in his Inaugural address, the elec
tric railroad builds new business in any
territory wherever it acts as a freight
carrier. Increased production comes
with better transportation facilities. As
it becomes easier for people to travel
the more travel there will be.
ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION
CHEAPEST.
Railroading is the manufacture and
sale of transportation. In a given, terri
tory the road which sells the best trans
portation at the lowest figure will get
the most business. There is no ques
tioning the fact that electric roads fur
nish the best transportation and can af
ford to do it at less than the price
charger?, for the inferior service of steam
roads.
The average cost of running stream
roads in country similar to that of the
Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Electric Line
is 60 per cent of the gross earnings, as
against 55 per cent of the gross earn
ings of that long-distance electric line.
In 1906 the Aurora, Elgin & Chicago
line paid 6 per cent interest on a bond
issue equal to the entire capital stock,
paid dividends on its preferred stock
and had enough left for a dividend of
some per cent on the common stock.
THE AIR LINE HAS NO BONDS AND
NO PREFERRED STOCK. The entire
net earnings will be available for divi
dends on the common stock. The first
issue Of stock is against the first sec
tion of the road, from Chicago to La
Porte. Already enough money has been
received to put cars in operation on that
section.
ALL IS ACTIVITY.
The principal camp of the CO-OPERATIVE
CONSTRUCTION COM
PANY, which is building the first 100
miles of the road, is at South La Porte,
and presents a scene of the greatest ac
tivity that region has ever known. The
siding from the Pere Marquette railroad
and the big warehouse have been com
pleted. Work Is progressing on the
June, w.56c; July. 9.62c; August, 9.64c; Sep

Are You Watching
the Market?
I advised my friends some time, ago tr buy stock in the Mammoth
Silver Lead Mining; and Smelting Company, and they are all satisfied
with their investment. I strongly advise anyone who wishes to double
their money to buy this stock at the present time, even at higher prices.
During; the past three months the market on Mammoth has had very
little support, owing; to the fact that I nave been out of the city, and
"have paid very little attention to price. Inactivity of the market caused
some stockholders to dispose of their shares and take profits, and this
has affected the price until at present there are some real bargains to
be had. I know what the Mammoth Mine is, and do not hesitate to
Estate that within twelve months stock will be worth five times its pres.
ent market value.
I recommend the purchase of Mammoth In the open market of the
Portland Stock Exchange, and will be glad to execute your orders for
purchases of this or any other stock or bond. The advantages of buying
this class of securities are easily realized if you will stop to consider
that there is always a market for quoted stocks, and any time you wish
to sell all that is necessary is to place your stock in the hands of a
broker and allow him to dispose of lt at the bid prW. If you buy Mam
moth stock at the present time you can sell it again within sixty days
at a considerable advance, and realize a large percentage of profit on
your money.
If you will allow me to tell you what to buy I think that you will
become convinced that there is money to be made in stock investments.
