F1HRS REPUDIATE
STVVHILE
J. D. Brown and His Policies
Turned Down.
ALLIANCE PLAN WRECKED
TTnlon Kef uses to Be Drawn Into
Organization With A'on-Fartisans
and State Labor Federation.'
Members of the Farmers' union
Bave repudiated the political leader
ship of J. 13. Brown. After appear
ing as the mouthpiece of the organ
ization for several years Mr. Brown
has been turned out of the presidency
and the ideas he most strongly cham
pioned have been renounced.
The Farmers' union refuses h
cut's paw of the Non-Partisan league
The union also turns its back on
the State Federation of Labor. It
refuses to co-operate or affiliate with
any organization which is not strictly
a farmer organization.
This position taken by the Farmers'
union indicates that the plan for a
triple alliance, consisting of the Farm
ers' union, the State Grange ind the
State Federation of Labor, has gone
a-Klimmering. If anyone and some
radicals may undertake it attempts
to commit the Farmers' union to the
triple alliance conference In Salem
next week it will be done without
authority.
Urown Long League Friend.
For several years Mr. Brown, as
president of the union, has urged the
principles of the Non-Partisan league.
He attended the gathering held in
Portland a few years ago when plans
for introducing the league into Ore
Son were considered. He has been
an ardent champion of the league
and its officers, even when the fed
eral government was preparing to
move against its officials for remarks
made during the war.
On the opening dar of the Farmers'
union gathering at The Dalles re
cently Mr. Brown, as president, de
livered an address in which he strong
ly indorsed the Non-Partian league
Before the gathering adjourned it
adopted resolutions strongly con
demning the league.
It has long been the desire of Mr.
Brown also to have the Farmers'
union affiliate with the State Feder
ation of Labor. The members of the
union displayed their sentiment in the
matter by adopting a resolution by
"Which the Farmers' union is pro
hibited from co-operating with or
ganized labor.
As a final gentle reminder that Mr.
Brown's political leadership was no
longer desired, A. R. Shumay of Mut
ton, Or., was elected to succeed him.
Machine Project V recked.
There has been a Close working
understanding between Mr. Brown and
State Master Spence of the Grange,
and they, with labor leaders, have
been desirous of forming the three
bodies into a cohesive political ma
chine. So far as the Farmers' union
is concerned, it is now foot-loose from
Mr. Brown and also from any prospect
of being tied up politically with the
State Federation of Labor.
The triple alliance project which
received a setback by the farmers at
The Dalles was considered as a
camouflaged Non - Partisan league
movement, the triple alliance name
being selected owing to the unpopu
larity of the Non-Partisan league.
Promoters of the alliance have a ten
tative legislative programme, in
tended to be submitted to the electors
of the state next year through the
Initiative.
In eliminating Mr. Lrown there may
develop a fight within the Farmers'
"Union ranks between the conservative
and radical elements, for Mr. Brown
Is expected to make a further at
tempt to swing the organization into
political combination with the State
Federation of Labor and the State
Orange. At The Dalles, however, the
members made their position erfectly
clear that what Mr. Brown wanted
and advocated for the organization
were the things the ur.ion did not
want and rejected through a series of
resolutions.
The Dalles gathering indicates that
Mr. Brown has lost his stinding as
the political pilot of the Farmers'
union.
CROP REPORT BEARISH
CORN TRADERS HAD EXPECTED
LARGE REDUCTION.
Talk of Probuble Heavy Imports
of Canadian W heat Also Weak
ens ClUcago Market.
CHICAGO, Dec. 13. Weakness developed
In the corn market today largely as a re
sult ot the fact that the government crop
I port va construed as bearish.. The
close was nervous at the same aa yester
day's finish to ai c lower, with January
$t.:us to J134H and May to 1.32.
Oats gained fcc to He In provisions the
outcome varied from 37c decline to 12c ad
nce. Corn traders took special notice of gov
ernment finurei showing an Increase in
the yield of corn as compared with pre
vious official estimates. In many quar
tern the revised total had been expected to
el isHose a substantial reduction. Talk vt
prospective heavy sales of Canadian wheat
to the lTnited States counted also to some
xtent as a bearish factor. Declines which
followed were duo. however. more to
Jfuk of support than to any great pres
sure. Comparative firmness in the oats mar
ket was Hcribed to scantiness of receipts
and to predictions of a falling off of the
visible supply total on Monday.

EGGS PROM AUSTRALIA REACH HERE
May Be Unloaded in West. Owing to Pall
In Eastern Prices.
Egg dealers who still have storage hold
ings are uneasy over the rsvort from Van
couver, B. C, of the arrival of a large
shipment of Australian egg3 aud of some
what smaller shipments of Japanese and
Chinese eggs. Ordinarily these eggs would
be distributed in the east, but as the east
ern market has had a slump, ranging up
to 15 cents at New York, it is feared the
imported eggs will Ve unloaded on this
coast. With a material increase in the
home lay when the weather moderates
and becomes settled, the market would be
in poor shape to withstand competition
from relatively cheap foreign eggs. Ore-
t gon storage up to this time has been raov
j lug well at 55 3? 56 cents, case count. Ore
1 gon fresh ranch were unchanged and slow,
I owing to the lack of shipping orders from
ithe north.
There was a good demand for storage
butter at 61 cents. Fresh cubes vera
fairly active at unchanged prices..
The poultry market closed quiet, with
hardly any receipts in the last half of ttra
week. Dressed meats cleaned up at steady
prices.
LARGE GAIN IN ONION ACREAGE
CoacheUa T alley Farmers Increase Their
Plantings LetM in Texan.
It is estimated that the Coachella valley
with 790 cars last year. The shipments
with 790 acres last year. The shipments
win probably be 1800 cars, the movement
starting about the third week in April, ac
cording to the bureau of crop estimates.
About 18 per cent of the southern Texas
onions are reported transplanted, as com
pared with 40 per cent a year ago. On
account of the plant shortage and unfavor
able weather, the contemplated acreage of
13.0O0 acres may be decreased.
Produce Movement Holds Cp.
The week's shipments of leading fruita
and vegetables throughout the country
were 8646 cars, only 04 cars below the pre
vious week's movement. A heavy decrease
in boxed apples was offset by large gains
in oranges and small increases of many
other line. The tendency to hold for
higher prices was noted in some shipr
Ping sections. The movement was also
checked by severe cold weather in northern
regions. Orange shipments were 2230 cars,
compared with 1683 in the previous week.
Florida shipped 1120 cars. Grape fruit
shipments were 248 cars, a gain of 4. Ths
ary grain movement was 190 cars; cauli
flower 80 cars and celery 269 cars.

SHOUTS COVER AT CLOSE
WALL STREET STOCK MARKET
HAS BETTER TOXE.
Rally in Exchange, Promise of Eas
ier Money and Removal of Coal
Restrictions Are Factors.
NEW TORK, Dec 18. Sentimental fac
tors contributed to the better tone of to
day's stock market. A moderate rally in
foreign exchange, removal of coal re
strictions and assurances of easier money
in the coming week induced considerable
short covering. There also was some buy
ing for the long account.
The strongest features of the market,
however, were the speculative specialties,
motors, oils, steel and equipment divisions
with liberal admixture of food, paper and
miscellaneous specialties.
Many leaders closed at maximum quo
tations. Ralls played no part in the
tiadlng. that group showing further ir
regularity, except for Canadian Pacific
which made a net gain of 24i points,
but recorded a loss of 714 points for the
week. Sales amounted to 650.000 shares.
Bonds followed the course of the stock
market, standard Industrial issues hard
ening. Liberty and victory bonds were
inclined to ease with several of the inter
national flotations. Total sales, par value,
aggregated $12,875,000. Old United States
bonds were unchanged on call during the
week,
A decrease of about $25,000,000 in actual
reserves of the clearing house reduced the
total excess to little more than $28,000,000,
while actual loans were Increased by al
most $38,000,000.

CREDIT DEADLOCK SERIOUS MENACE
Financiers Opinions Vary as to Manner of
Remedying- Situation
NEW YORK, Doc 13. Although foreign
exchange had been moving steadily against
the leading countries for several months.
It was not until this week that the move
ment assumed such threatening propor
tions at this center as to obscure all other
developments in the securities market.
With the British rate at a discount of
more than 25 per cent, not to mention
the far greater depreciation in French and
Italian remittances, bankers and other
dealers In exchange began to express grave
concern and refer to international bank
ruptcy as something more than an empty
p h rase.
Considerable difference of opinion pre
vails among financial experts and econo
mists as to ways and means for overcom
ing existing conditions. All concur, how
ever, that the foreign credit deadlock
constitutes a serious menace to this coun
try's plans of world-wide trade expansion.
There was heavy liquidation during the
week of foreign-owned American securi
ties, chiefly railroad stocks and bonds.
The railroad situation was further com
plicated by Indications that permanent
measures for the return of the transporta
tion systems to private ownership are not
likely to be enacted by the end of the
year.
The other noteworthy event which
helped to bring about the further shrink
age of stock market values was the flurry
in call money and the greater scarcity of
time accommodations. This was largely
prompted by the federal reserve bank,
which made only a moderate advance in
Interest and rediscount rates, but there
by served notice that the local credit sit
uation, in its judgment, required further
readjustment.
