'JLcvel. " r
A strong -,'market l4,r.efiorted for. oats, and
barley and sales here and at country points
show an ispward tendency In 'prices. Country
offerings are- light; dealers having stocks on
hand are Inclined to"1 hold .out for better prices,
while the demand is reported to be .very- good.
The strength, of the'-,' country markets- - is
ascribed to the -free buying by railroad con
tractors and other large- consumers with the
result that " farmers take fc. very bullish view
of the situation. v -
Sales of oats in the. local market-at '$31.50
were reported yesterday, and most sellers are
now asking $:12. Oats were sold at . Seattle
during the day for 332 and asking prices were
Inter advanced, to. $",2.50. The San Francisco
market for oats 'is also stronger, prices there
having advanced $1.50 in 'the past week. Spot
barley Is quoted In the local market at '"$20.". 1
The wheat -market was quiet, but with a good
undertone. -' No pressure to buy was reported
from any quarter, .but ihe lightness of; sup
plies, especially of the best sorts, prevents
any recession from, former values. ' '
Weekly- foreign shipments ' of .wheat were
reported by the Merchants Exchange as fol
lows: I".'.'

City Creameries Will Advance the Quota
tion to 39 Cents.
The price of city creamery butter will be
advanced 2 cents a pound Monday morning
to 30 cents. The .supply of .late has been
rather under than- over the .demand, and
with the unfavorable turn the weather has
taken, the production will be still further
decreased. " -
Cheese continues firm under a light supply
and active Inquiry."' '
The egg market Was strong yesterday with
most sales, of- Oregon at 45 cents and. some
dealers Jookjng. for an advance, early in
the w.3k. 'unless weather conditions change
Receipts have fallen away to almost noth
ing." Holders of Eastern eggs are not push
lnsrthefr stock.'- -
Poultry receipts were light and cleaned
up well, the best hens bringing 16 V4 cents.
TONK OF HOP' MARKET- 19 STEADY.
ltwent Purchases by - MeNeff Bros 'Ex
porters Seek Consignments.
The hop market holds at about 23 cents for
'the best, with ev' moderate demand and 'grow-
isrs not pressing sales. The inquiry - is not
.strong enough to bring about any advance.
and it la the general impression that trade
: will continue on a rather light scale through
r out the month, unless there Is some marked
'.change In the export situation. The foreign
) buyers. Just at present, are seeking consign-,
i ments, rather than purchases.
The only buying that came to light yester-
- Amy was done by McNeff Bros?t .""Who pur-v
hasea the Hatrtoro lot of 75 bales at Laurel,

SACK TBGETA BI.K9 ADVANCE.' .-
potatoes and Other Similar Produce 'Quoted
Higher: . .
The snow storm practically "put an end to
trade in the fruit and vegetable line' yen
rterday. Among the, receipts were thre cars
of bananas, and a car each of oranges and
sweet potatoes."
There was .sharp marking . up of prices
in all local produce lines because of - the
cold wave which has ehut off supplies for the
present. ' The jobbing price "of potatoes was
advanced ,to $1 per; hundred' and -unless the
storm ceases may go to $1.25 by Monday or
Tuesday. Onions were firm at $1.50. Car

rips and beets at $1.50.

been above" $2.75 and $3 per box. There
has been an. occasional sale of Spitzenberg

READING IS A LEADER
Aggressive Operations in United
States Steel Wall Street's Fore-
. cast of the President's Me$T
sage Bonds Are Firm.
NEW. TORK, Dec. 4. The recovery in
prices of stocks today .was carried further
with, gathering force and animation and
with large responsibility attributed to the
demand from uncovered shorts, which de
mand carried prices upward.
The speculative community professed the
usual confidence In its foreknowledge of
the contents of President Taft's ' message
after it had arrived at the . print stage.
The outlines of the coming message, which
were accepted as authentic In brokers" of
fices, had - the- effect of soothing some of
'the apprehensions felt earlier In the week
as to the manner In which topics bearing
on certain Interests would be handled.
Another potent factor in quieting appre
hension on this score is the belief that
great mergers of trust companies are con
templated by the purchase of the Guaranty
Trust Company and the Equitable Life As
surance Society in the Morgan Interests
this week. The pursuance' of this policy
by so eminent a figure in the financial
world is taken to indicate assurance of im
munity from interference and confidence in
the feasibility of financial consolidations.
The . resumption of aggressive market
operations in United States Steel of a con
centrated character was ascribed to the
general confidence engendered' by this feel
ing and had a marked sentimental effect
on the whole market.
Reading furnished an effective leader for
the railroad group and was affected by re
newed rumors of coming increase in the
dividend disbursements. The same influence
strengthened Rock Island nreferred rr,nip
with the fact that that stock's preferred-
cuura in aivjaena rises in 1910 to 5 per
cent, compared with the 4 per cent hlther-
Jteports persisted that the MltA 11
road switchmen in the Northwest was to be
ended- shortly and stocks of railroads im
mediately affected rose vigorously. The
oroauenea out materially at the last

The bank statement reported sufficient
loan reduction to scale down the deposit
liabilities and so limit the Inroad upon the
surplus by reason of the cash loss to but

NEW YORK, Iec. 4. The Financier will
ay:
IeOTite the continued loss in cash through
gold exports and sub-treasury operations,
which has been a feature of the banking- sit
uation in New York for a number of weeks,
the banks continue to show but email de
creases in surplus reserve, because the liqui
dation in loans during this period nas Deen
very heavy.

statement of actual conditions as a basis, was
$10,578,000. and the decrease in deposits, flfi,

posits $7.4WO,800.
The tide of money, so far as the interior

of New York, but the gains on this account
have been more than offset by heavy gold
exports to South Amerca, and also through
telegraphic transfers to the Pacific.

house banks for the week shows that the
banks hold $7.714. R50 more than the require
ments of the 25 per cent reserve rule- Thia

FAMOUS CONTEST ENDS
IiAXD OFFICE DECIDES DISPUTE
AT ROSEBURG.
Louis Kolilliagen Secures Right to
Valuable Timber Claim After
Expensive right.
ROSEBURG, -Or.', Dec. 4. (Special.)
ny aecision--or the United States Land
Office in this city yesterday, Louis
Kohlhagen, of this city, secures title to
valuable timber lands, and a memorable-'
contest has been definitely settled.
The case first attracted public atten
tion when a section of valuable timber
land was thrown open for entry in Jo
sephine County in April, 1908. Imme
diately Kohlhaaren and a number of
local people filed on several claims, but
previous to their filing- the entire tract
was covered by scrip by a man by the
name of Cusick, living in Medford.
Shortly after this, a number of squat
ters set up claims to the land, and they
(the squatters), formed an association
by which they caused the indictment
before "the Federal grand jury in Port
land of Louis Kohlhagen, Joe Gilpin
and L. S. Shipley. The latter were ar
rested, but were all acquitted.
The decision- in the right to posses
sion of the claim was founded on-the
fact that the land scrip was invalid,
and that the squatter on this claim had
relinquished a former homestead for a
monetary consideration, and thereby
forfeited his right, which gave Kohl
hagen the legal right to the claim.
At the contest before the land of
fice in this city last year were about
30 people who were in quest of the
land, besides an equal number of wit
nesses and a score of attorneys, mak
ing in all- about 100 people, there being
three different people after each claim.
BEAU LIEU,. IN ANGER, QUITS
Censured by School Board for Ex
pelling Unruly Pupils.
DAYTON, Wash., Dec. 4. Following a
clash with the School Board over the
management of the school, Superintendent
L V. Beaulieu'. of'! the Dayton public
schools, resigned yesterday, effective im
mediately. The trouble, which began
some time ago, culminated Tuesday in the
suspension and virtual expulsion of Glenn
Samuel and Frank Barclay for unsatisfac.
tory deportment. The parents demanded
an investigation by the School Board and
Beaulieu was censured for stringency.
Beaulieu has aroused the antagonism of
high school students from the first of the
term. Said he: "I want to get out of
Dayton as fast as possible. Every teacher
in the Dayton schools is back of me, but
the board did not consider that. The past
depredations of students have been un
bearable.. Recently the high school boys
plied wood and debris on the front, porch
of my home and the school house was
broken into several times.' I intend to
practice law in Greeceville, Minn."
Superintendent Beaulieu was a member
of the faculty of the University of Idaho
last year. -
The German toy output for 1907 is estimated
at 26,000.000. of which $19,000,000 was ex
ported, and of that total the United States
ana urw Britain took mora than half.
IGNORE HUMORS
Wheat Traders Do Not Fear a
General Strike.
BUSINESS VOLUME SMALL
More Attention Paid to Report of Ex
tension of Harvesting .'. Opera
tions in Argentina All De
... liveries Are Weak:
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. Although sensational
rumors were circulated on the floor of the
exchange befona the opening, predicting a
general strike on all railroads as the out
come of the situation in the Northwest, the
repprts were given no credence in vtaw of
the more optimistic tenor of news emanating
from the scene of the labor troubles.
Traders, however, were inclined to await
further developments before opening up new
deals,- and, as a result, the volume of busi
ness was -email. The rapid spread of har
vest operations in Argentina inspired more
or less selling all day, which resuitea in
moderate weakness in all deliveries. Cold
weather was the forecast for the Winter
what belt, but this failed to have any
bullish effect, owing to the newly-seeded
crop being covered with snow in many sec
tions. May ranged between $1.05 ana
$1.06 . The market closed only a trifle
above the low point, with May at $1.05.
Absence of shipping demand and an of
ficial forecast of a drop in temperature
throughout the corn belt caused weakness
in that cereal. The market closed almost
at the lowest point, with prioos c to
c below yesterday's close. . '
Oats were moderately firm at the start,
but developed an easier tone early and be
