Quarters In the Board ot
Trade Building.
The Merchants Exchange will nnl month
begin the thirtieth year of It. ealstence In

tlve-yesr lease for the new quarters. While
the remarkable increase In the shipping
Business of the port has Increased the work
ot the marine department of the Exchange
to such an extent that more desirable rooms
were a necessity, the Immediate oause of
ths change was the demands of the grain
trade for facllttlea for handling a sample
market, euro, as Is a featjre of the grain
exchanges In other parts of the country.
For this cash Brain trade, tables for samples
will bs provided, and an opportunity af
forded buyers and sellers to meet and in
spect offerings and make trades.
The Ran Francisco grain business out of
this port has reached such large propor
tions that a large number of coasting; ves
sels are In the trade almost constantly, and
by combining the shipping and buying fea
tures of the business In one exchange so
that shippers, ship agents and owners can
bare a suitable meeting place each day. the
business of all parties will be facilitated.
The Exchange will continue, as It has for
the past 29 years, to supply the grain trade
In the city and country with accurate mar
ket Quotations and statistics regarding the
gran trade of the world.

enrpvlies on the Market.
Oreron onion growers are Inclined to
take a more bullish view of tha future.
r-a:ee hare been fairly large in the vtast
week, but the tendency now la to hold back
for better prices. The California market,
which week ago was quoted at o0t00c,
baa now advanced to 65075c, and buyers
on the Sound and other Western Wash
ington points, which have been getting their
supplies tn the South, are now turning their
attention to Oregon.
With the reduced crop in this state
estimated at SO to GO per cent of last year's
le;d the growers are not disposed to push
their holdings on ths market.

There wera no dealing's on the Grain Ex
change today and prices remained prac
tically unchanged, with bluestem at 943
H'-c; barley at $25.60 26 and oats at
$30.60.
The scarcity In local potatoes keeps the
market stiff. Locals are bringing; from $20
to $22 per ton and Eastern Washing-ton
from $22 to $26.
Today's produce sales were heavy and
the street was the best cleaned up tonight
that it has been since the opening of the
strawberry season last Spring. Applea are
stiffening slightly. Local apples brlns; from
60 cents up and Eastern Washington from
75 cents up, with. $1.50 the top price on
fancy stock. Peaches have almost disap
peared from the market. Only a few boxes
were put on sale today and these readily
commanded $1. Some fancy Kkfer pears
brought $1.60 this afternoon. There is a
strong demand for grapes and $1 was the
low price on good stock Tokays and Mus
cats. The egg market holds weak. Only a
of ranch ckki were mowed at
the reduced prices and dealers expect a
still further drop. The dealers will quote
41 oents as their buying price to the
farmers next week and expect to sell for
44 cents Monday.
Butter and cheese remain unchanged, al
though dealers predicted a rise in butter
prlcea early last weeic.

Increase in Orders for Xew Sujr
plies Decrease In Number of
Idle Freight Cars.
NEW YORK.. Oct. 3. Interest in the auto
mobile race for the "Vanderbllt cup was re
sponsible for a large .reduction In the usual
number of brokers on the floor of the Stock
Bx change today. ' ' The effect on the rate of
activity which has prevailed lately waa Illus
trative of the - professional -character of the
market. The .withdrawal-of so large a number
of the professional traders left little to the
market.
Accounts were largely .closed out yester
day afternoon, preliminary to. the departure
for the racing grounds. Some repressive In
fluence Is attributed to the f urloue activity
in the political-campaign which la looked for
next week. The price movement today was
sluggish and hesitating In agreement with the
slight Interest in the market.
The railroad equipment stock were firm in
response to. the reports of Increasing d if posi
tion to place, orders for equipment by the
railroads. That group was favorably affected
by the further decrease of 1S.73S in the num
ber of Idle freight cars reported by the Amer
ican Railway Association as for the two weeks
ending October 14, bringing the total down
to 110.036. The report gains additional force
from the fact that a large decrease has oc
curred also in the number of "bad order"
cars by taking them from the repair shops and
putting them back Into sen-Ice. The first stage
of the reduction of surplus cars was accom
panied by Increases in "bad order" cars,
showing that surplus cars "were being drawn
on simply to defer repairs on cars In use.
The - present condition places beyond dispute
the substantial Improvement which Is oc
curring In the amount of railroad traffic.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value.

Oregon Lumber Prices Higher.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 24. Washing
ton lumbermen are not getting as good
prices for their product this Fall as
are lumbermen In Oregon. This is
shown by the October lumber bulletin,
complied by officers of the Forest Ser
vice In Seattle. No reasons for the
difference in prices are made In the
Forestry Bulletin,- but lumbermen are
unanimous In saying the low prices
quoted In this state are due to price
cutting by some firms.
