The general mood was bullish, but with the leading Interest so all-powerful the small man was not inclined to venture. There was a much smaller trade than on Thurs day, a slight further decline In May and 90 break in December. As the Armour people recently bought the December when it was almost 3c under the May they can well afford to part with some of it now at lc under. There will be no sur prise if wheat drags along for a while or perhaps gets som.- lower, but there will be a good deal of surprise If the leaders are not found quietly taking back their recent May sales when opportunity offers. December corn lungs have been selling for a week ami ihu leading December long has been going Into January at about 10 cents discount.

D., Corner Second and Yamhill Streets, - - - Portland, Oregon Steel Combine Institutes War of Extermination Price of Tubes Reduced Smaller Mills Defy the United States Steel Corporation. CLEVELAND, Nov. 22. The United States Steel Corporation has commenced a war upon the independent producers of steel tubes. The evident Intention is to drive the -independents out of busi ness. Some time ago the first step was taken In th&V eirectioto when reduction in the prtee of tubes- was announced toy the corporation. On inquiry it was found that the reduction had little or no refer ence to the market conditions, but was a display of antagonism between the larger and the smaller mills. It Is now evident that a war of ex termination against the smaller and so called Independent mills has been com menced. The fight dates back to the time when the .United States Steel Cor poration took over the Shelby Steel Tube Company and wanted to buy In the other tubing mills. SQME FOUGHT THE COMBINE. Most of the independent companies, however, preferred to remain Independent and withheld their property from the combine. The United States Steel Cor poration did not commence action Imme diately, as it had no need then of elim inating this competition and for the safe conduct of business the smaller mills were needed. . Even at ihe present time the pmrket condition does not intimate that the products of the smaller mills is cumber ing In the least.
