the floor of the senate, as I charge
now, that the democrats in the sen-

responsible fo its defeat.
"Again, let me call attention to the
fact that Senator Robinson in his
speech notifying Governor Cox
claimed for the democrats credit for
the bill establishing a permanent bu

labor. This certainly is assumption.

around $5 a barrel for Ben Davis in the

PRUNE MARKET FUTURE UNCERTAIN
Opening; Prices May Soon Be fixed by
Oregon Associ&tloil,
The Oregon prune market la still in ad
unsettled condition. Opening prices have
not yet been fixed by the association, but
are expected very soon. There Is, conse
quently, no selling by packers and no
contracting with growers Is reported. One
of the independent packers announced an
opening price of 14 H bents, bulk basis, on
40-oOs. This was criticised by tie asso-""
elation as a cent too high and there mat
ter have halted. The California asso
ciation' opened at 15 cents on the same
sizes, but it has none of these to offer,
Some early contracts were made with
northwestern growers On the basis of 18
cents for 30-40s, but there has been no
recent buig.
The Oregon crop is doing fairly welU
notwithstanding the dropping In some of
the valley counties. It la thought the
yield may run about 60,000,000 pounds,
At the beginning of th6 season a crop of
80,000,000 pounds was hoped for. Last
year the dried prune butput of the state
was 35,000,000 pounds, and two years ago
65,000,000 pounds.
Independent packers of California prunes
are falling in line -with the association as
to prlcfes on this 1D20 crop, and one by one
they are meeting the lower range an
nounced by the big factor. Some are even
feeling out buyers at slight concessions
on the smaller sizes. Buyers of association
assortments are taking up their contracts
and some little interest in resales has
developed.
Eastern buyers are not disposed to ac
cept .the statements that the old crop has
been pretty well cleaned Up on the coast,
and there are persistent rumors, accred
ited to easterners who have been in -California
recently "'that there are still con
siderable quantities of the smaller sizes

SHARP DECLINE IN .. SUGAR DUE
California, Refiners Have ot Yet Followed
Latest Drops in East.
The California sugar refiners have not
yet followed the latest eastern declines,
but they cannot delay action much longer.
Raw sugar in New York is now quoted at
12.04 tents, a decline of 12.53 cents from
the top point reached last May. When
refined sugar to consumers also declines
50 per 'cent from the highest point, the
price will appear to be reasonable.
According to eastern advices tnere Is
still much high-priced raw sugar to be
melted, against which granulated has been
sold, some Of the forward sales runni
well Into the fall months. All indications
point to a glut bt refined sugar in many
markets, and endeavors made by second
hands to dispose- of - their surplus stacks
at the best obtainable prices to avoid
heavy carrying charges. Strenuous efforts
are also being made to induce refiners to
cancel contracts, deliveries on which are
yet to be made.

of anything approximating buying power.
! lrst signs ot a covering movement ac
companied the Improvement In -the Polish
situation. This also was helpful, io the
market for foreign, exchange, in which
British "rates had shown weakness.
The opinion prevailed that the more se
rious economic stnditlons resulting from
the war have been safely overcome. This,
it was contended. Is borne out by current
showing of leading industries, notably steel
and Iron, although some Kindred -lines 01
manufacture are subject - to cancellation.
The situation, -according to representative
financial interests, manifests Indications
of relaxing, but easier quotations for long
time funds are not anticipated until tne
turn Into the year's fourth quarter.
Better trade conditions are expected
from the garnering of the big crops, and
September Interest and dividend payments,
as well as the more stable labor situa
tion, .. are likely to find reflection in
larger railroad earnings. v 1
Considerable new financing is" in pros
pect by the leading transportation sys
tems and several of the more important
Industrial and utility companies are -said
to be in the market for lands.
Interest in international financial af
fairs centers about negotiations under way
for France's payment, of. her patt of the
Anglo-French loan. This undertaking, it
is understood, prcbably will Involve a
loan, estimates of which range from $100,

LIVESTOCK IS STEADY AT CLOSE
Southern Pacific Announces Refunding of
1'ares to Caretakers.
No receipts of stock were reported at
the yards yesterdsy and there was busi
ness aside from the sale of a light steer
at $6 and a few head of cows at $6.35.
The tone ot the market at the close was
steady.
The Southern Pacific company announces
that it has reinstated the rule canceled
by the United States railroad administra
ticxn regarding the refunding of fares of
caretakers sent out to return with ship
ments of Wvestock. This practice is local
to the Pacific coast lines. Middle-western
and eastern lines do not make these re
funds, but allow free transportation only
on caretakers accompanying livestock and
returning to points of origin. In the mid
dle west and east livestock is shipped to
union stbcj ard and 'market points and
there ' sold, the caretakers returning to
sbspping points, in the absence of union
stockyards on the Pacific coast, except at
Portland, it is necessary for dealers to
seoul buyers into the country and take de
livery either on the spot or at the railroad
point of shipment and then return as care
takers with the livestock, The refund of
fares by the Southern Pacific therefore on
caretakers sent out after livestock via Pa
cific, coast lines places dealers on the Pa
cific coast in a position to buy stock in
competition with the movement to middle
western , and eastern territory.

The City of North Vancouver is a suburb of Vancouver, British
Columbia, area 2950 acres, situated across the bay from the latter .
city. It has a poptrlation of approximately 10.500 people, and its
securities have always been considered very safe and desirable in
vestments.. This issue of bonds is a direct lien and general tax obligation
of the entire city, all of its taxable property, wealth and resources
being pledged to pay interest and principal as they become due.
We recommend these bonds as exceptionally desirable, with an
unusually high interest yield. As a matter of fact, it would be
difficult to duplicate this opportunity frpm an investment stand
point. Legrallty Approved by- It. I,, iteed, K. C, ot Bowser, Reed A YVnll

CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Favorable weather
over the wheat belt and lower prices on the
Canadian board tocfay caused prices to
uffer a setback here, after starting fairly
teady. frovlstons remained nuiet and
irm. Compared with Friday's close, wheat
was off 34 to 3c. with December $2.32V
to $2.33 Mi and March $2.35. corn was
down lc to 2c, while oats showed a
net loss of c to IVic. Provisions were
20 cents to 80 cents net higher.
Fear of Canadian competition on an In
creasing scale with the belief that British
purchases will be confined largely to Ca
nadian grain for a time created a more
bearish view In regard to prices here.
The weakness in wheat also causc-a
weakness In corn.
Packers were fair buyers of provisions
and prices averaged higher.
The Chicago market letter received yes

Portland said:
