In one week. This is the record made ty Henr Jennings Boris, of First ad TamhUl streets, f A reporter for The Journal saw sev eral loada of the furniture aa It waa . unloaded yesterday. Mr. Jennings In vited an inspection of his large store and showed the reporter through the different departments and talked en tertainlngly of bis 'stock. He said: "Our ambition la to always nave the , best In our line. Our constant en deavor is toward betterment; to im- ' prove the quality, then let the goods peak for themselves. They soon tell the sort of a store they come from. Our offer Intra, while always low In price, are never cheap. This big con signment, 01 lumiture, part or. wmcn jtvuk .saw tirdoadedU. on,Prfb?5lv1 assortment of medium and high class v goods. ' Every piece Is thoroughly well-snade and perfectly finished and the display presents the choicest and most tasteful designs direct from the " .most prominent .makers of tellable cabinet work." 1 "On what do you base -the popularity of your house, Mr. Jennings 7" asked the reporter. . Xur dealings have placed us far in advance of other dealers, but the best methods on earth would be useless If pie goods carried were not up to the standard. The beauty and strength of very article sold by us has added many marks of merit to our reputa tion for value giving. The most at tractive feature is the low price at Which anyone an purchase What is .needed in- the- house-furnishing line. imii ine secret 01 our success in a nut hell'.' FIRST FLOOR INSPECTION. The establishment covers four large floors or eighteen large rooms in all. The first floor contains in the front end, a fine line of buffets, some of which are indeed handsome. One in particular attracted the eye of the newspaper man. It had a double swell front and bevel glass, made of quar tered oak, highly polished. There were others of Flemish oak and nt hogany. The buffet display 1b a fea ture of the store and It Is well worth Vhlle for anyone to linger there. - China closets of endless variety are also on this floor. Some have full glass inside and out and made of the finest quartered oak. These china closets vary in price according to size and wood. All are well made, it is only a . question of matching the pocket book. A very pretty one had a mlr Z.or, back and. .glass .shelf, .carved, feet and full turned columns in front. It is golden quartered oak, finely marked and a very ectlfvefprec'otnru)rn1tW. The library furniture next attracted the reporter's attention. There were couches of golden oak, mahogany and walnut frame with rows of tufts and velour coverings. Some of cotton top bed, some of tapestry covering, some or pantasote and leather coverings. "What constitutes a good couch, Mr. Jennings, and what would you con elder In purchasing one?" "The-e are several things to be con sidered. First, will they wear well? Second, are they comfortable? Third, are they handsome? We combine all these requisites in our couches. They are upholstered on the finest steel springs over a canvass cover, the stuff ing Is moss or hair, or a combination of both, and the coverings are the best products of the "factories of this coun try and Europe. Our guarantee goes iwith every one." - Next was noticed the library or book cases and on inquiry it was found that a carload of combination library cases consisting of about 30 patterns, in oak. Imitation mahogany and solid ma nogany had arrived, within the week, and were offered at better than the us ual at very reasonable prices. They are handsome cases, with plenty of book room and desk in oak.,There is one of crotched mahogany and of heavy col umns, which is Indeed handsome. The Parlor Cabinets are in mahog any and imitation mahogany. Repro ductions of early English and Colonial furniture. In settees, chairs and rockers, are among those Just arrived. Every piece is the work of an artist; there are not two alike. THE SECOND FLOOR Has odd pieces of popular furniture of most exquisite design. One of the noticeable la a three-piece suit of ma feOfanT finish carved and in damask; in One Week of On this floor Is one of the largest as sortments of Rockers to be seen in Portland. They are of every con ceivable kind and make, from the ex pensive to the more reasonable. One is a Rush Seat Rocker, one of the an tique kind. Of a quaint, odd pattern, but comfortable and serviceable. Some beautiful odd Chairs and Rock ers in rush seats, French haircloth and polished wood. The Bedroom Suites on this floor are worth considerable attention. Here is presented in metal bed, the most com plete line of high grade brass and en ameled iron beds In the city. Here is found the apple green,' moss green or gold bronze metal bed, the bold, dec orator, the composite finish or antique copper, all that heart could wish for aad the pocket book ' could satisfy is here.' --- Tfcc rc.;tsi b?4 has 4a stay. It has many advantages over the old wooden bed 1 is more hygienic, more easily kept clean, Is lighter and is more handsome. At this point of inspection, Mr. Jen nings said: .."The only way to find where the real furniture bargains are is to first visit all the leading stores and compare quality with price. Then by coming here . you can prove for yourself the truth of our claim that we sell standard . goods cheaper than any other 'store. Many people tell us they are surprised at the size of the store and the stock and the lowness of oar- prtcear say -they- tridrft- -expttsf tor i find such a great establishment here." THIRD FLOOR OFFERINGS. Here are'found numerpus and hand some pieces of , Housekeeping Furni ture. The Chiffoniers, the Library Tables, the Ladies' Toilet Tables, La dles' Desks, Wardrobes, Mirrors, Da venports, Hall Racks, Book Cases, Ex tension Tables, etc. "These," said the reporter's guide, "are part of the ten car loads received this week. For solid, substantial, rich beauty, there's not an equal made in America. Com pare it with the other sort what a difference! And it doesn't cost any more than the kind that pretends to be as good But good as it Is, we didn't place orders In a hifrry. Months ago we started In to get together fur niture to be proud of hunting through tms ana inai iactory, lining up sam ples side by side, throwing out those we didn't like and suggesting changes In those selected. We are particular about quality and attractiveness." Thefourth floor Is used for surplus spek aad it Is well stocked, too. THE CARPET AND RUG DEPART V " M E NT. . This la one at the.teatur.es and .la. in the second section of the big down stairs ahow room. Here are the well known Meltons and Axminsters and .the Brussels, Velvets, Ingrains, Tapestry Brussels, and body Brussels, the Axmlnster and Symrna Rugs, the made-up Carpet Rugs; also the Linoleum and Oil Cloth. Last, but not least, comes the Kit chen Department. Here is the new steel range, the money saver, the old fashioned stove and all the new ideas. The Tinware and all Kitchen Ware Is here on this first floor, but away from the furniture show rooms. This is the people's store and-all vis itors to the store freely speak of how good the store looks and how nice the goods are. Many strangers thought It was our Fall opening and were sur prised when informed that the store was the Fall opening and were sur lady says: -'This store looks so nice at all times that every day is an open ing." Tl:s store is one of -the sights of the cfty and every body is welcome to come in at any time, look through, and make himself at home. Other pieces of furniture which should be mentioned are: Hat Racks, some of solid oak with French plate mirror, of box seat. A Hat Rack to suit every pocket-book is here and it Is safe to say that there are at least 40 different designs. The Wardrobes, so dear to the women, take up gome important space in the establishment. A pretty one near the front Is of golden oak with double doors and drawers. A Side board richly carved and highly pol ished and with French mirror is no ticeable. 'If people did but' know it," said Mr. Jennings, "the best time to purchase Christmas Furniture Is now, because the full assortment is here." THE COMMERCIAL WORLD or Smallness of the Crop Is Cause of Rise Salt Trust Said to Be Figuring on a Decline Soon " Business aws rather dull today on Front street. Poultry dealers are crying for farmers to stop shipping chickens into this mar ket for a short time in order to clean the present stock up. Receipts in that line continue extra heavy with demand the opposite. Jobbers say that there is really no regular quotations. RICE GOES HIGHER. This morning jobbers were notified that an advance had been made in the quota tions on rice. The rise will amount to about one-eighth of a cent a pound, and was caused by the smallness of this yeag's crop. Other advances in that line are liable to follow. SALT MAT DECLINE. From reliable authorities the informa tion is gleaned that the salt trust will soon make a decline on the price of that product. Receipts of fresh meats In the local markets are fair, but the demand is good, and everything brought in is soon cleaned up. Prices are not altered. The Eastern packed nreat market is firm at current quotations. Lard is steady, at yesterday's aJvances, and nothing sensational is expected in that line until about December 1. The scarcity of smoked sides still continues with no prospect of an early relief. Information Just received from Chicago states that the receipts on, pork products in that city the past year has been yery light. The figures of receipts for this year and last year are as follows: Year ending October 31, 1901, su,u.l(8 pounus; year ending October 31, 1902. 47.799.460 pounds, a decrease of about 32,917,710 pounds during the year.

Sec Shaw Withdraws the Special Bond JraoiUty Cramptd Condition Has Been Relieved and the Sit uation is Altered. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-That the money market la In a satisfactory condi tion was declared by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw this morning, when he gave out the, announcement that he would accept no' irlore state or municipal bonds as security for government de posits. He regards the monetary emer gency that had to be met as past, and thinks it no longer necessary to accept any otner man government bonds. This tfitiiwmfemerrt ai made after aconsul- tation with Assistant Secretary Ailes. Secretary ShaW some time ago permit ted the temporary acceptance of state and municipal bonds as security for gov ernment aepoaita. 'JTUs was f or the pur pose, of relieving; the" Stringent situation In Wall street. Recent shipments of gold and other changes la the money markets have altered conditions. ( HOP GROWERS ARE HAPPY Rising Value of This Year's Q-op. Less Future Contracting. The Oregon hopgrower is happy. A good orop a-nd extra good prices are the secret. The buyers have lost all their old time nerve and now are willing to admit that advances in prices are dally ex pected. At present the choicest hops are being eagerly sought after by dealers who are willing to pay 2t or perhaps 27 cents a pound for the privilege tf buying the entire yield. The demand has Increased" so' rapidly that growers who were waiting for quo tations to go up to 20 cents are now for 'rises above -SO "cents: y - English hop men are In the market and are eagerly gobbling up this year's sup ply at fancy figures. Prices In New 'York are touching tho higlv places 32 to 36 cents a pound being frequently offered. Many sales are reported throughout the Btates, and hops that were rejected at any price are now selling fast at 25 cents a pound. It Is said by prominent hop men that only about one-fourth of this year's crop was contracted for. The recent decision of a Salem judge that hop contracts were only good as mortgages has thrown deal ers in an uproar, and it is not likely that many more contracts will be made. CONTROL PRICE. Grocery Trust Is to Be Formed by New Yorker. DETROIT, Nov. 7. The Free Press this morning says that at a recent conference held by wholesalu grocers of Middle and Eastern states a proposition was made to form a comliine for tne purpose of con trolling the price of groceries. George B. Hanford, the leading New York grocer, is at the head of the movement. - PULP WOOD HEARING. - NEW YORK. Nov. 7. The Board' of Classification of the United States Gen eral Appraisers today took up the hearing In' the wood , pulp protest case of the Sault Ste. Marie Paper & Pulp Company of Ontario. The protest by the Importing nrm is against the leYying of a counter vailing duty on Canadian wood puln brought to the United States. Over 90 protests have been filed with board, complaining of the action of the treasury department In levying the additional duty. PASSING KAISER.

The Record-Herald says: "Cash lard Is selling higher than when there was a powerful bull Interest In control of the prdduct. Choice lard sold early yesterday at $11.20. Scarcity abroad Is the presept Influence and seem to- be proving more effective than bull manipulation. It Is said two exporting concerns have 55,000 tierces of lard Sold for export through November, December and January, and those who are figuring on tne situation say the total export sales for lard up to the end of January must be around 150,000 tierces. That could all be made with a generous run of hogs, but would result In a very tryina situation it tne receipts would not come as expected. , "Armour yesterday reported 100,000 nusneis of No. 3 Red winter sold to East ern millers. New York said 250,000 bush els of old spring wheat had been sold Dyv unicago to New York millers. For some reason the people here who did the business were not ready to talk of It. The wheat, corn and oats speculators yesterday rather ewrected Patten to do some covering, but he did the other thing, sold more. There was a good deal ,pf wheat news at the bull e?t, but the market did not hold. "Cash corn is higher, but strange to say December and November were lower. In the corn pit there is an idea that Ar mour Is selling December and buying May.

The Chronicle last night has the following: "Judging tronX; the view expressed tonight by con servative operators, the pessimism grow ing out of the elections Is gradually giv ing place to a feeling of optimism. Be sides, the elections themselves, now that the returns are all in, areregarded with lass disfavor than at first. Qulte apart from politics, however, there is more disposition, than of late to weigh en couraging factors carefully, and argu ment is made that since bearish consid erations have been discounted by the re cent decline, and the general outlook Jus tifies the purchase1 of stocks, especially the railway shares, on all recessions. This feeling is particularly strong among people who get their inspiration from Western merchants and Western rail road men. A member of Armour & Co. is quoted as saying that a hard frost would be followedjya heavy move ment of corn, and fhat It would (Start to ward the end of this month or early in December, and that exports of this ce real In 1903 will exceed 300,0uo bushels. That the railroads will have more traffic when the new corn begins to move than they can handle is the opinion of the" majority of observers in clte touch with managers at larger systems. There is no question that this outlook Is Influenc ing very substantial buying of stock around current prices,' notably In Union Pacific, 8. P., Mo. Pac, B. & O. and the Fries." No Cold Export. NBW-YORK, Nov. . 7. The, Jsarnal of Commerce says: 'The foreign exchange market got no further toward the gold export point yesterday, the local money market ruled quiet and Such returns of railroad earnings as were made public were quite as favorable as those re cently submitted. The outlook for the current week's bank statement, it Is true, was' decidedly less favorable than early in tho week. Since the gain by the banks from wle Sub-treasury of about $1,500,000 has been extinguished, and for the bank statement week to date banks have made small loss to that Institution. At the" same time the banks are now carrying so liberal a surplus reserve that but lit tle interest was manifested in the com ing exhibit." New York Summary. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Americans in London are rather above parity. Vice President Bird, of St.' Paul, says all freight rates are too low. .It Is reported from Scranton that Delaware & Hudson haa, been sold to the Pennsylvania aoA New York Central for $80,000,000. A good quarterly statement on Manhatton Is ex pected. Sugar trade authorities deny that a cut in refined has any reference to beet sugar competition.
