ther waa a greet daal of eseltiment In tha
trada her and In parts of tha hop-growing
country.
Tha featur of tha day waa tha sweeping
epTattona of Klaber. Wolf It Netter In tha
ralla sec-ton. They cleaned out tha auc
tion absolutely, buying vrythlng that -eraa
f..r MM thara. TwnUr-threi lota of Dallas
loop, totaling ;o:.0 bales, passed undar their
control during tha day. Tha prices paid
ranged from 7 to 7 cent. Tha aama fh-m
also bought T5 bales In other sections dar

bad 5O00 balea contracted for. Soma of
thaj dealers figure their holdlnga at cloaa to
2O.OO0 balea.
"I consider tha market for choice hopa
very strong, and do not sea why they ahould
not go to 10 centa." aald Herman Klaber
yesterday. "On tha other hand, tha market
la very weak for anything but choice good a.
I would not advise the growers to bold
their bop or to act In any way on my opin
ion. It la only my personal view, but I am
backing It with money. I am buying these
hope on speculation.
"My reason for ballerina; In a better mar
ket Is because England Is practically bare, of
choir hopa, which ahould causa these quail
tie to go up. Aa In England, tha lower
gradea ire likely to b low. In London
choir bops ara aelllng at 70a and poor ones
at 20. Thera will alao ba a wld range,
according to quality. In prlcea bere.
Tha following cablea were received by
Klaher, Wolf Netter yeaterday:
"London market closed .very strong for
choice. Market contlnuea very quiet for
other qualities.
" No change In market to report."

MARKET VERY SLUGGISH
More Tranquil Feeling on the "Lon
don Exchange Pressure of For
eign Liquidation CrosC9.
Gold Export Talk.
NBW TORK, Oct. 1". The dull and slug
gish stock market today Indicated that tha
apeculatlv element waa Uttl Inclined to
take chances on what might occur over
Sundav in th inflammable state of affairs
In Southeastern Europe. There was some
relaxation of the tension on that account,
but thla waa owing partly to the fact that
business for the day was over In London
before It begsn here. New York was thus
deprived of Its most relled-upon barometer
of foreign political developments.
The London market Itself, while in opera
tion, showed a decidedly more tranquil ton
and aoma tendency toward recovery from
the acute weaknese of the day before, Brit
ish consols sharing In this tendency. This
was partly owing to th disposition of tha
bear party to elos up thlr uncovered short
contract In view of th approach of the
periodical atock market settlement "next
week. London' improvement was partly
lost before Its shcrt session ended, and the
undertone of anxiety wa manlfeet there, lu
spile of the more hopeful prospects report
ed for a diplomatic settlement of the trou
ble. The local market was free from the pres
sure of foreign liquidation, which haa over
whelmed It on each aucceaslve day of the
week and the way waa (hue opened to
moderate advancea.
The prominence of the Harrlman atocka
and of Rock laland in thla movement waa
testimony to the Influence of yesterday' de
velopments pointing to Harrlman Interest in
Rock Island affairs which waa Interred from
the financing of t. Louts A San Francisco
obllgatlona by the principal Harrlman
bankers.
Another ground for the hesitating and
Irregular stock market was the question of
gold exports and Ita poaslDt effect on the
metal market.
September'a large exports 'of agricultural
products reported today and the obligation
Incurred by foreign markets to pay for
them, supply an additional Incentive for for
eign selling of American securitiea here a
an offset In order to adjust the exchangea
The value of export of this clasa In Sep
tember roae to the highest total since Feb
ruary, when we were atill hurrying the mar
keting of our producta to help out the
financial crisis. The stock market closed
decidedly heavy.

prtres rnrrent -Locally aa Cattle. Sheer, and
Hog.
Although there was a big run of livestock
this week, prlcea hav held well and at the
close th market ws in a satisfactory con
dition and showed much improvement over
the close of the few preceding week, anis
was owing to the better quality of the stock
brought in. Prices yesterday were un
changed from those quoted by the trade on
Friday. Receipts for the day were l-
cattie and 00 hogs. .
Thousande of Oregon sheep and lambs
are now being shipped from Eastern Oregon
to the Idaho and Montana range. Two
dollar per head is the ruling pne for
lamb, according to th Kaatt Oregonlan. and
this in comparison with former years, ex
ceptlng the phenomenal high prices of ,ast
year, is considered remarkably good.
J. B. Long Co. have shipped 4000 head
from Heppnor to Montana, and are ahipping
3 GOO head from Baker City, to th same
rang. In each case the price paid waa (
per head. Danxig & Son shipped 3200 head
from Wallowa City to Soda Springs. Idaho,
the price paid being (2.12 per head. These
sheep were shipped out over the new Wal
lowa extension of the O. R. N. C. B
Lukens shipped 2c.O0 head of yearlings from
Baker City to Cutbank. Mont., but the
price paid for these Is not known. ,
Several buyers are now In or near Pendle
ton and others are coming. All are In
search of Iambs as the range have been
cleared of everything else that Is for sale
at the.preent time. Ordinarily there would
b i:o lambs for sale, aa they would be held
until thty wer a year old. but owing to the
past dry season, th rang is o chort that
growera will have approximately 20.000
lambs to offer. From present Indications
the price of Winter mutton sheep- will be
high. Very few Oregon men are feeding or
planning to feed owing to the scarcity of
both hay and grain feed and from the
Middle "est cornea the newa that owing to
the high price ofi corn., little of that cereal
will be fed to sheep this Winter. It there
fore look Ilk the sheepman who will bav
mutton to turn off before the grass-fed
article Is ready for the market will ba able
to command a high price for hla animals. -

LOSE MONEY ON POULTRY
SEATTLE JOBBERS AVILIi CUT
.BUYING PRICES SHARPIY.
Oats the Feature of the Grain Mar
ket in the North Grapes
Are Carried Orer.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 10. (Special.)
Poultry dealers lost o mucb money this
week on poQltry that buying prices will be
cut to the very limit next week. This they
figure can be done as the holdover supply
Is heavier than It haa been on a Saturday
night In many weeks. Therefore the buy
ing price for hens has been set at 12 to 124
cents and Springs at not to exceed 14 cents
for the coming week. Turkeys are still
scarce with not enough coming in to supply
the present demand, which is good for this
time of the year.
On the Merchants Exchange, oata were the
feature today. As high as 433 was bid for
January oats, but no one'would sell at that
price. Wheat was firm, but not active to
day. Grapes are being carried over fn large
quantities tonight. Qood tomatoes command
as high as 70 cents. Cantaloupes were 25
cents higher today.

- CHICAGO. Oct. 10. Pry wa.tlier talk
apparently i supplanted th "war scare" as
a market factor in th . wheat pit tods,
ana brouprht an active general demana.
which resulted In a strong market the
greater part of the day. The market opened
easv, wllh prlcea HS4c t ic lower, owing
to an advanos in the price of consols and to
a moderate decline in the price of wheat
at Liverpool. Before the nd of the first
half hour the market had recovered on
buvlns by aoma of the leading; traders who.
it "was said, were alarmed by the contin
ued absence of rain In the Winter wheat
section. A trading- progressed, prices made
additional advances'. Decern-bor touched
1.01 and May S1.04S. an advance of
more than lo from the low point. The
market closed strong and near the best
marks for the day.
The- corn market was generally firm, ow
ing to th strength of wheat, which offset
the favorable weather conditions for the
maturing of the new crop. The market
closed firm at aoout the best of the day.
Kxtreme dullnes8 prevailed in the oats
pit, but th market was firm In aympathy
with wheat and corn. At the cloae, prices
wera hc lower to HVc higher.
An advance ot 11.65 per barrel In the
price of October pork waa the feature or

and 'President Roosevelt were the first
to receive the volumes as gifts.
The books are bound in white vel
lum, with hand-hammered oxidized sil
ver shields in the center of each. The
corners and clasps are also silver of
beautiful design. On these Shields and
corners are tiny initials and mono
grams of some of the artists repre
sented in the work. One of the vol
umes, containing miniatures of Rich

shaped .'shield, outlined with delicate
silver ribbon scroll and vine, a. fac
simile of Richard Cosway's autograph.
In blu enamel, written across the cen

also blue, the whole decoration of this
volume being lighter and daintier in
design. Of the other two, one is dec
orated in the French style of the 17th
century, and the third is copied from a
medieval volume in the Vatican library.
The leave of th volumes are of
vellum and on the inside of the cover
ot each volume miniatures are inserted
in the green levant which forma the
lining and which is elaborately tooled.
Mr. Morgan's collection shows works
extending from the earliest days of
miniature painting, from the time of
Holbein and his contemporaries in the
Engish school, and in that of Clouet In

CAPITAL IS MISREPRESENTED,
SATS M'FARIiAXD.
Expenses Are HeaTy, but District
Fills Functions of State, County
and City Government.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (Special.)
Commissioner Macfarland advocates that
the municipal statistics applying to the
District of Columbia, now carried in the
census bulletin in the statistics of cities,
should be published separately from those
of the cities of the country.
Until this Is done Mr. Macfarland con
tends that the District of Columbia will
continue to be misrepresented by those
who take the per capita figures on the
face of the bulletin as extravagant and
expensive in its administration, when, as
a matter of fact, considering the unique
character and circumstances, its expendi
tures are among the most economical and
reasonable in the world.
Director North of the Census Bureau
has informed Mr. Macfarland that he is
In sympathy with the purpose .of his re
quest, and an endeavor will be made to
comply with it. The matter of making
the change In the compilation will be
taken up in the near future.
In his letter to Director North, Com
missioner Macfarland said:
"In the current bulletin, as in former
bulletins, the statistics appeared accred
ited to the city of Washington, which is
not coterminus with the District of Co
lumbia, and which, indeed, ceased to
exist with the city of Georgetown when
both were swallowed up In the corpora
tion of the District of Columbia.
"As you are aware, the District of Co
lumbia -Is a unique political organization
comprising the functions of state, county
and municipality, with a small popula
tion covering a large territory of such
physical character as to increase the
difficulties and expenses of administer
ing the municipal services. Above all, it
Is the National capital, planned on a mag
nificent scale for that reason, and with
boulevards, parks, trees and construc
tions beyond the ability of any popula
tion of the size of that in the District of
Columbia to provide and maintain with
out confiscatory taxation.
"Because lt Is the National capital and
because the United States owns over 50
per cent of the area of the city of Wash
ington proper, besides Its holdings out
side of that city. Congress, the supreme
authority, in 1878, recognized the long
neglected obligation of the National Gov
ernment to the National capital by pro
viding in the organic act, called by the
Supreme Court the constitution of the
District of Columbia, for equal division
of the expenses between the District tax
payers and the National Treasury.
"Under this arrangement the District
taxpayers have been paying under the
assessment and taxation requirements,
equal to the average elsewhere, their full
share of the National capital making and
maintenance, while the rest of the peo
ple of the United States, equally inter
ested In the common capital, have been
paying the other half of the annual ap
propriations." CROSS OF HONOR FOR KING
Victor Emmanuel, of Italy, to Re
ceive, American Decoration.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (Special.)
Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy,
will be awarded an American cross of
honor at a ceremony to be held In this
city, October 15.
The board of governors of the Amer
ican Cross of Honor Association will
convene here on that date and make
the award to the King, who was elect
ed an honorary member of the order
last February, and who accepted by
letter May 31, 1908.
A second cross of honor will be
awarded to a person who has rendered
the most heroic service in saving, hu
man life, and who also has received
the medal of honor under some act of
Congress. The name Is not disclosed.
Mrs Ida Lewis Wilson, keeper of the
Limerock lighthouse, Newport, R. I
was the winner of the cross of 1907.
The Insignia is of gold and enamel,
and Is a Maltese cross, in the center
of which is the American shield, while
the letters A. C. H. and the date 1906
are on the four points thereof, the
whole being encircled by a wreath of
laurel. An eagle displayed holds the
laurel wreath In Its beak, and is sus
pended from a ribbon of a dark shade
of blue.
Acorns Grow on Oaks.
PORTLAND, Oct. 9. (To the Editor.) In
the City Park I picked up an acorn which 1
send you herewith. A 'Portlander declares
that lt fell from a maple tree. TVI11 you
pleaae enllKhten him and
JULIA EMYTHB.
Acorns never grow on maples. The
nut you send is from an ordinary oak,
not perhaps the exact variety you knew
back East, but a genuine oak. The
opinion that an acorn could fall from
a maple Is too foolish for serious denial.

which great care will be exercised to.,
select as Judges men who are known ,to
have no political aspirations, non-partl-..

care of by the Klamath Chamber of
Commerce for use at Seattle next year.
Good Prices for Produce.
The season Just closed has bepn one
to emphasize the value of Irrigation. Up
land crops have been exceptionally short
owing to tho continued dry weather and
yields sjf grain are very light as com
pared with previous years. This, coupled
with the great demand for forage and
grain for feeding a great number of
horses and mules employed on railroad
work and canal construction, is resulting
In splendid prices for all products of the
farm. As in previous years, the Klamath
Basin Is not yet producing enough of
tho staple crops to meet requirements for
home consumption. '

siderable Interest Is being taken in what '
promises to be a very valuable and ex
tensive coalfield now being developed at
Waingaro, New Zealand. A number of
promising outcrops and extensive faces
Bhow the frontage of the coal area to
be about half a mile in extent, while.,
the deposits extend back for over a

undoubted evidence that at least 20.000,000
tons of coal will be accessible.
