Newspaper Page TextTIIE SUXDAY- OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 19, 190S. I 0LD0H P Association Estimates It at a Total of 78 Cars. SALES IN LAST TWO WEEKS What Remains Is of First Quality and Will Xt Be Offered Freely. Reports From the Dif ferent Sections. At yesterday' meeting of the Confed-T erated Oniongrowers' Association, rc- florU were received from the different producing sections, and the association s estimate of unsold stocks In Oregon a revised showing 78 cars left in the state. Selilngf in the past two weeks was un usually heavy, consisting for the most part of onions that . were not - keeping well. Those that are left are good keep ers and it is not likely that the sales in the immediate- future will be so active. The recent movement has been handled so well that very little loss Sias occurred. Owing to the liberal selling, the advance ' in prices was necessarily slow. The report from- Sherwood indicated that since tire- previous meeting two weeks ago. ten cars were shipped, 11 sold tor immediate delivery and four for fu ture delivery, a total of 25 cars sold, leaving 25 cars unsold in that section. Of the sales, ten cars were reported at $2, one at 11JS and the remainder at $1.75. Woodburn reported six cars sold at $1.75. There were no shipments from Cedar Mills, where 11 cars are left. Milwaukie shipped one car at $1.85 and has one at $3 ready to go. Local shipments were 370 tacks. Four cars are left in that section. From Tualatin five cars were shipped and it is estimated that ten cars are left. Hillsboro sold and shipped one car at $1.75, has three cars sold' at $2 ready -to go and four cars remain. Beaverton. shipments were only 500 sacks "despatched locally. . HU E MOLD APPEARS !' HOP SECTION Activity In the Ore-on and? Yakima Markets. London Trade Reports. A considerable degree of activity is re ported in the Oregon hop market, but without special pressure.' to sell being shown. Prices paid are those previously current. Keports aro coming in from several sections of the appearance of blue mold in 1908 and 1907 hops. i McNeil Bros, are operating rather heavily ire Yakima hops, having bought about 4(i0 bales of 1907's and olds in the past two days at prices ranging from 1V4 to 6 cents. Joe McNeff, who is now in this city, estimates the unsold supply of last year's crop In Yakima at 3000 bales with an equal quantity, of olds remain ing there. The latest English trade circulars say of market conditions there: Wild, Neame & Co., Londpn. Our market has scarcely opened since the recent holidays. There Is very little doing and quotations are unaltered. Manger & Henley, London. There is a little Inquiry springing up for good copper hops. w. H. and H. Le May, London. The holidays having finished there is some business passing chiefly in low-priced . hops suitable for copper purposes, the current value of such being sufficiently tempting to Induce some consumers to stock tip. J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester.- Owing to the holidays the general trade lias been almost at a standstill on this market, but one lot of 57 pockets passed the public scales last week, making 18,157 pockets weighed since the season com menced. The few hops left in first hands are firmly held, most growers anticipating a more remunerative trade in the Spring. MAY CLEAN" I'P CANNED GOODS STOCKS Hum Francisco Expects Big Demand When Battleship Fleet Arrives. The San Francisco trade anticipates a big increase in the demand for canned Koods when the battleship fleet reaches Its destination. A leading brokerage firm of that city writes: "As ypu are aware, there are 16 battleships cn route to San Francisco, besides torpedo boats; tenders, etc. By the time the squadron arrives its provisions will be practically ex hausted. Everybody conpected with food products here is studying this proposition with a view to being able to meet the demands that will be made on them when the ships reach San . Francisco. In addition to the fleet en route thero is the squadron that has been here several months, so altogether we figure there will be in the neigh borhood of 40,000 to provide for. Now, as you know, the Navy uses large quantities of canned fruits and canned salmon, and it will probably take every tin of these goods that can be had on the Tactile Coast. In fact, we feel safe in stating that the Pacific Coast will not be able to come anywhere near supplying the demand." EGGS ON TUB DOWNWARD GRADE. Only a Change In Weather Can Prevent Further Decline. The egg trade was very slow yes terday, both locally and on shipping account. Fresh ranch stock continues to come forward with Increasing free dom and only a change to Colder weather can prevent the market from falling lower. Quotations on the street yesterday ranged from 27 A to 29 cents and predictions were freely made of a 25-oent market by next Saturday, if it continues warm. The poultry market was a dull affair all week, with the exception of ducks, which, being scarce, ruled firm and are likely to remain so for two weeks, t'liiikens. except small Springs, have fared poorly. Oeese have not sold well and turkeys have been a drug on the market. The butter situation shows no chungc. The city creameries are still npHru rront street is weaK with a wide range of prices quoted. Veal In Light Supply. The demand for small and medium sized fat. fancy veal exceeds the sup ply. Large, rough and "grassers are sellers, but, of course, not at top prices. - Receipts of dressed pork have been very large during the week and prices for best packers and block eased off to T cents. The demand has been very good, however, and la expected to con tinue so for the coming week for good stock. Fresh Produce Trade Blow. No arrivals of Importance were re ported in the fruit and vegetable' line and business on the whole was slow. Apples continue firm with a fair de mand and moderate stocks. Good pro gress is being made In cleaning up the recent celery receipts. Wheat Quirt and Vnchanged. The wheat market was quiet yester dxy but prices were unchanged at 87 cents for bluestem and Si cents for club.- Should the foreig-n markets re cover in the coming week, more ac tivity can be looked for here.

STOCKS GIVEN LIFT V- Fine Bank Showing Strength ens Market. SECURITIES IN DEMAND Reading and Steel Shares Are Fea tures of Strength Probability of Gold Exports Causes So Misgivings. NEW YORK, Jan. 18. The stock mar ket continued active on a strong bank statement today, although the return was not published until after the close of the market, according to the rule made per manent last Fall. This expectation was the principal sustaining force to prices. The most seriofc ; Obstacle to the ad vancement was tn heavy tone of Ameri can Smelting, which was -heavily sold while prices elsewhere were advancing. Reading was the. feature of strength. Speculative support of this stock was en couraged by the announcement of the agreement of- the Department of Justice to refrain from . enforcing penalties against the coal carriers under the new law which goes into force May L pending a judicial decision on the constitutionality of the law. .This law forbids railroads to own commodities which make up their traffic, and compliance with it by May 1 threatened serious embarrassments to the i coal roads which own coal mines. The United States Steel stocks also were strong with notable sympathetic effect on sentiment,, owing to the Infer ences drawit of improving conditions in the trade. Improved collections reported by the mercantile review and hopeful auguries drawn by ' the development of commercial activity were favoring influ ences on the market. Realizing was in progress side, by side with the new buying, notably In Northern Pacific. The gain of upwards of 126.000,000 in cash holdings, reported by the banks, is a revelation of the extent to which hoarded funds are rushing- back into banking deposits. The loaning power t the New York banks is thus expanded upwards of $100,000,000. The week's light loan expansion, under the circumstances, seems moderate. . The strong, rise in foreign exchange, which continued today, with its intima tion of possible gold exports, is not likely to arouse misgivings in the face of this showing. This cash gain compared favor ably with the amount of the cash de crease in the week ending Novem ber ,2, in the stress of the panic when- cash holdings of the clearing-house banks decreased $30.601. 00. The gain in surplus reserves of $16,551,425 Just falls short of unusual record which was made in the week ending May 28, 1904, with a gain of $16,688,050. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,362,000. United States 2s regis tered declined , the coupons and the 8s per- cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales.

Everybody has Bome idea, advanced or otherwise, concerning the present bank inr system. It is generally conceded that any bank with 25 per cent reserve 1 not safe, and -to do banking with a greater reserve becomes unprofitable to the banker. Confidence is only certain when the reserve or deposit to meet outstanding certificates of indebted ness, are about equaL A central Government bank, with the necessary branches, orran lsed on this basis, would prevent a panic or period of depression, such as we have passed th rough several times. Uncle Sam under stress strains his credit, a day of settlement comes and there is great distress, Now. since we are all Uncle Sam's boys. why not levy a tax. as we have done in times of need, ana thereby raise a demptlon fund? A good stiff sum of gold. As fast as a dollar reaches the Government vault, issue a certificate of one dollar. Keep this up, until we have enough money in circulation with the gold behind it to supply the needs of the country. In other words, let all the people help Uncle Sam start sound bank one that can never falL be cause there will be no opportunity for Wall street to Juggle with the finances of the country. This seems to me to be tha right thing to do It is certainly patriotic X was one of a million who stood up for Uncle Sara, while he had to play a confidence game, and the "boys" took his paper at a dis count of 20 to 27 per cent all because the Government was doing just what It depre cates in others, banking without an ade quate redemption fund. This idea of bank ing with funds on hand to meet outstand ing obligations may be out of date, a trio's old-fashioned. But it Is honest well, may be that ia also out or date. R. A. BENS ELL.

SHOULDN'T ATTACK COURTS Portland Lawyer Discusses Recent Unpopular lVesal Decision. rORTLAND. Jan. 18. (To the Editor.) Although I am a recent arrival In this city, X note that several unpopular decisions re cently handed down, almost simultaneously, by the hiKhest Federal and State courts, have caused many newspapers la Oregon to break forth as to the general unreliability and criminal leanings, proclivities and af filiations of courts and judges. . It Is Impossible for any good citizen not to coincide with ths sincere destre for law and order -which underlies this outbreak, and which has been expressed by The Ore gonlan with that conscientious force and command of the English language which makes the readintr of It editAHai . dally pleasure. It is almost as difficult foT me to agree with these Journallstlo premises and conclusions, or to belfeve that mir aaoption by the nubile can result In anything but almost unmixed harm. The declMons above referred to are two by the Supreme Court of the United -States, one by a California Appellate Court, and two by me urerae uouri or tne state of Oregon. It ts not my purpose to. Indulge In any ex tended argument as to the leral merits of these decisions, or to cite authorities In tneir support, but simply to state why none of them appear to ms to Indicate either grave incompetence or moral depravity' on the part of the men who compose these courts. Of the two Federal decisions, one declared unconstitutional the employers' liability act passed by the 159th Congress, and the other reversed the judgment against ex Congressman Williamson, convicted of sub ornation of perjury in connection with the so-called laud frauds. The declaion in these cases are not before me- but they have been reported In the newspapers with apparently their usual accuracy In these matters. As to the employers1 liability act. there ! has been ever since Its enactment a pretty even division of courts and lawyers aa te ns constitutionality this division being quits Irrespective of any pro- or antl-cor--poratlon leanings of the attorneys them selves. Personally. I cannot fee that the power of Congress under the Constitution to regulate Interstate commerce, a power Intended to prevent mutually hostile legis lation and disputes among the States Jrt respect to exchange and- transportation of commodities among them, can by any stretch of the Imagination be so extended as to give Congress authority to tmose a liability on a railroad which happens tq be an interstate carrier, and one of whose track hands may have been negligently In jured by a dirt-car or fellow shovelman. on some siding In the heart of a State, yet such Is the scope of the law a lt now stands, and because of this scone it was held - unconstitutional by the Court. . Here the newspapers and people cry out: "Is there no balm In GUead for the em ploye,' wounded and oppressed?" And to this question they make their own reply: "No; for the railroads own the courts. For a proof thereof, behold and read the de cree!" . I submit that this is not the answer, but that the employe may and should be pro tected by State and Federal legislation, each In its' own field, and that this will be done when the people who rail at the courts show an equal zeal for ability, dis cretion and honesty on the part of their legislators, and when a slight knowledge, at least, of constitutional limitations shall be held a qualification of a 20th century statesman though lt may and probably will be far less Important than to be an effi cient cog in the party machine or an effi cient supporter of the senior Senator of the State. As to the Williamson case, there Is even less doubt, for plainly the statutes do not require the timber claimant at his final examination to swear that he has entered into no agreement to dispose of the claim, and the Land Commissioner evidently went beyond his implied powers In requiring it. This is therefore not a material matter in his proof, and cannot, lt would seem, sup port either directly or Indirectly an indict ment for perjury or the subornation thereof. The people say that if this be so. it Is strange it was never discovered until now. It truly is. strange. Quite as strange as the fact that until several years ago the United States Bistrlet Attorney's office for Oregon was deaf, dumb and blind to the existence of such an offense as a land-fraud against the United States Government! Yet the incumbents of this office were appointed and retained In office by the influence or Senators and Representatives elected by the people of this State. I am but a new ar rival In Oregon, and I speak of local con ditions with no personal bias and Indeed .with no knowledge except what I hear and read. They say that politics In Oregon were "rotten." and I can well believe It. Per haps If the people had taken care to make thm less "rotten." the defect In the law. if there be a defect, would have been discovered and remedied long ago. and there would be today less disappointment over a prosecution that has failed, and less censure of the Court through whose de cision the disappointment has come. In California, Schraita was indicted fop extortion under a law which makes it such an offense to secure money from another, under a threat to injure his property. The facts alleged In the Indictment were that Schmita threatened certain restaurant-keepers to hold-up their desired liquor licenses. It has been held by a long and almost un broken line of decisions that liquor licenses have the qualities of neither contract nor property in the absence of statutes giving them, that character. Such a line of deci sions has met the approval of the best ele ments in the community, and has been necessary to enable the State to exercise that measure of police power over this r,rfn which Its nature requires. If these licenses were not property, the threats of Schmit were not an injury to property, and however desirable It may be to send vim tn San Ouentln. he must be sent on some other charge or allowed to continue at large, as so many other moral leper do and will no until tne peouie tnroupn v,r.i,- iAistttnrfl enlars-e the scone of legal nffpnnfs. or still better, until thev learn to take the same Interest tn municipal elec- iti. thnt thpv do In the nurlty and Intel ligence of the courts, and cease to make Schmltx and Ruef their rulers, in the first instance. . , . . - As to the " two cases recently decided by the Supreme Court of this State, and Whifh have -riven rise to much discussion. I can only say that from what I have lodm f them through the newspaper re ports, I do not coincide with the view of the Court m eixner oz mem the Court will doubtless survlvj but I do r.i that these decisions embody views whth Miiid be held by men both able and conscientious, and do not tn any way indicate the slightest sympathy with crime or criminals. Failures In prosecutions are usually laid of th doors of the courts, since lt falls to them to announce the unpopular decisions. The bearer of bad tidings is never popular, and whether he is flayed alive or merely given an editorial "roast," depends largely on the scale of civilization existing among Uioe to whom he brines the nws. It ts an undoubted fact that these fail ures are often due to the defective legal equipment or lack of experience of public prosecutors, and until men are elected or appointed to prosecute those who are the peers in their profession of the men re tained by the "malefactors of great wealth," we cannot hope for results greatly differing from those of the past. To secure this. It will probably be necessary for Nation and State to pay fees somewhat commensurate with those paid by private persons. It will also be necessary for an elective candidate to be something more than a good politi cian and party worker; also for a United States District Attorney to have had some experience In the Federal courts, and some visible Qualification other than that hf is the friend of a friend of a popular Presi dent's friend. All of which I say without bias or prejudice, as I haven't the slightest acquaintance with any possible candidate for United States District Attorney of Ore- ill OF COMMERCE Mums Mala 39 Lester Herrick 6 Herrick 3 G -t 1 1 Certified rafolic Accountants Office Wells Far so Bulldlnc Oth?
