TRANS A CI IONS IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD PRICE OF PACKED HEATS GOES LOIS tmriow aiBAT company ahboubces SECUBB 01 H CHUT IS BREAK PAST BACON BEQTJiAB CXJBABS ; AKD CX.XAB BACKS GO HOWS U CEKT BOOS IOWEX AGAIUf. ' , Front Street, Dec. 21. Vhe principal r Items of Interest In the local market today were: . Provision prices lower. 1-ocal lard oil cent. Eggs down again. -. , . ' -Poultry,, not moving., a :,. ; " ' ; "' Provisions Ar Xiowtr. ' -- ( v; .The Union Meat company announces , several changes in the local prices of provisions. Breakfast bacon is quoted , about ft cent lower, while regular short .clears, -clear backs, smoked and un ; smoked,' are quoted cents a pound lower..-Both kettle leaf and steam ren dered lard of local manufacture are 4 cent lo wr. todays Th: newt price 'list -; takes effect at ence. - ' Eggs Tumble Again. -As was exclusively predicted In The 'Journal on Saturday the price' on fresh ' Oregon eggs went down today. This morning found the market weaker than : on Saturday and everywhere could be seen stocks of eggs that refused to be sold. . Although the receipts of eggs in this market at present are not very large still ; the present high price Is causing the A ftmtt Tf vrt Ha anll ami! at a nnn a art ttns-i the few arrivals are hard to sell. Today ' the price went down to 82 cents . dosen flat and still the market remained ; quiet Some of the dealers on the street expect the price to go down to the 30 cent mark within the next few days. . "!''Sv:i' Xa th Poultry Market There were no very heavy arrivals in the poultry mti ket today but the market is still badly overloaded with the large" receipts, of Friday and Saturday. In the Cleanup on Saturday aome mixed chick ens were told as low as 8 cents a pound but the average sales were made at 9 cents. The call for straight hens Is now off. the dealers preferring to buy the mixed stock at the-lower price. The receipts of dressed poultry are beginning to pile up larger but there seems to be a fairly healthy demand. Some turkeys are arriving and are being sold all the way froth 19 to 20 cents for the dressed stocks. No live birds came In today but as yet none are wanted. The future of the turkey market remains a mystery and will probably remain up until af "ter" Christmas. Larger receipts will have a disastrous effect and the present same price as on Thanksgiving. Botiing Doing la Potatoes. : There is absolutely nothing doing in the potato market as far as shipping de mand Is concerned but in, the local mar ket , the demand for nearly all grades seema to be slightly Improved. Today's reports from San Francisco say that the market there has no signs of an -advance and none are expected until after the holidays if then. The onion mar ket remains .the sajne nothing but dull ness, u. Prices lit both lines are un' changed. ' . ' - .- ' ,- '. ZATge Hop Sal Beported. - The first large hop sale of fancy hops for several months was reported on Sat urday up the Valley. It was that of Patterson Bros. of Olequa to Tacoma parties. 668 bales of fancy hops at 23 4 cents a pound. The sales of the medium grades continue quite large with prices ruling today from H to 20 cents. Batter Still Sail. ' The creamery butter market remains' dull, with every prospect of Its continu ance for some time. The Front-street : houses are still piled high with the bet ter grades, snd the-movement is really nominal. Store and dairy grades con tinue to come in an oversupply and the price Is weaker. v , V ' Wheat Is Offering. . More wheat is now being offered than for several months, but the sales report ed are small. The prices now being asked by the farmer holders are slightly , above those ruling, and the miller do : not seem to care to take hold. Up the valley some of, the interior millers are paying a small premium for Immediate delivery, but beyond thla the market re mains at quotations. Opinions en the Market. W. B.

BROKERS-OPINIONS ON NEW YORK-StOCKS I-ogan A Bryan,: New York: London was a large seller of stocks, being itt fluenced, no doubt, byt the -Japaneae-HuHalan artalr. We regard the lattter as the most serious menace to the mar ket that is apparent. Call money is easy and seems likely to continue o. Bo far-as domeatie eondltlons are-po eerned, we see nothing to make any great selling pressure, DUt as to .What the eastern political situation may do is to us a matter of doubt. Pending de velopments In that direction, we would feci disposed to go slow. - v . Mclntyre & Marshall, New York: The continued weak .condition of stocks is attracting attention, especially, as thejre is an apparent absence of any- substan tial support from Insiders. The weak ness In united States Bteel preferred Is partly traced to further . protlt-taking and to leading Interests on the bear side. The advance in the coal stocks was largely speculative, and sham news usually comes from manipulators. There httxe been no developments to explain the strength in Brooklyn Rapid Trair sit, but 'rumors current say the stock has been absorbed 'by parties close - to Pennsylvania, and also oy some of the Standard Oil people. Trade has become dull and more professional today. We look for a . dull and steady market. Dick Bros., .New -York; The Btock market' was dull snd .irregular today. Pool manipulations of specialties was continued against this, and some rother good selling appeared in various stocks, and the general tone was rather heavy. United States Steel broke sharply at the opening and failed to recover. The rails ' equipments shares were pushed up sharply, but- soon reacted. Pressed steel was strong, but closed heavy; Brooklyn Rapid Transit ran up on re newed pool buying, but the move did not last. Rock Island was under pres sure, but held fairly well. The general list did not make a great move. Money is easy. The market closed, heavy in tone. .: . DESCRIPTION. Auacouda Mining Co,,,.. Anisi. copper to. ...... Atchison, com....,,.... do preferred.

Dec. tl. gtocamen A of the Central West are urging that as manv livestock men who ean.oosslbly do so, should attend the convention of the National Livestock association and uie National Wool Growers' In Portland next month. All of the livestock jour nals are calling -upon the stockmen to do something to save tha cattle In dustry. A statement Issued by Secre tary Martin of the National association has been printed and discussed gener ally. Mr. Martin says in tha last 18 months the manipulations of the pack ing combination has cost the livestock interests 1760,000,000. The huge sum seems almost incredible, but the figures bear Mr. Martin out In Kansas alone in the last year the owners of cattle have suffered a loss of 811,000,000. Tbs Heavy Los la Xaasa. The figures that are true of Kansas are true of nearly- all the other state, Secretary. Coburn of v the' Kansas atate board of ' agriculture baa compiled figures which bear Mr. Martin out. Mr. Coburn's deductions are that tlhj value of cattle In the state this year is 154,- 000,000 or 120 for each head., A year aao tha, value wa 124 a head, mis loss, when multiplied by th number of cattle owned In tha state, makes u, 000.000. --. : .;.'.;-,. v-; The Increase, of horses and mules in the state, however, forms a remarkable contrast. In tha last - year Kansas horses have increased in number rapidly and In value $12 each. The mules In the state have increased in similar propor tlon In number and in value $18 each. The law of supply and demand regu lates the horse and mule market, but not so the livestock market. To Frotact tha Industry. , iWrAtarv Martin waa here last week He says action will be taken requesting congressional legislation. e say con ditions throughout tha country make it ahniiitiv neceaaarv that decisive ac tion upon several Important subjects shall be taken at tnis meeting ior me protection of the livestock inausiry, anna thm that the National associa tion will ask th restriction of forest' reserves to such lands aa are now or recently have been forest lanas, ana that such reaervea be confined to natural water sheds, and to examine all reserves and eliminate from the same we non- fnnat isniiL . Also, that the forests ana .HI vBwatatlnn utwra the DUbllC landa Of tha United Statae, including th forest reserves, shall be .piacea unaer me Di rect control of the secretary cf agri- that th nocretarv of th department of the interior shall have control only of sucn matters as reiav to the title qf such lanas, , An ti-G omnia Bsolatlon. The association will pass a resolution against the packers' combination against the growers. It will Bay that the con- oatiiea I ft1r ff fits ckine? facilities on mod ern lines Into the hands ot a few great capitalist and Into a lew marae cen ters has resulted In. almost, eliminating that the oiilv remedy 1 for the atockmeft to combine and pro vide competition by building independ ent packing industries and encouraging new markets. Vit Legislation will be asked of the na tional congress compelling the movement of stock train at a minimum speed of a niu. an hniir from loading point to destination, exclusive of stops! to feed and water, and tnat sucn trains snu have the right of way over trains loaded irv AmA freta-ht. The National Live stock association will also memorial lee congress to enact legislation conremng upon th Interstate commerce commis sion authority to determine upon full hearing, under the provisions of the act to regulate commerce, what change shall be made in rate of practice found o be discriminative or unreasonabls. Such determination to be immediately oper ative and to continue , until overruled by tha court Isrlgatdoa and Fatal lands. . Congreas will b asked to appoint a commission of flv. constating of one cattU-grower. one sheep-grower, one ex pert irrigations and two government officials, to Investigate the arid and eml-arld gracing landa west of the tooth meridian, to make a SDeedv report to congress with a view of amicably settling th conditions now existing over thia matter In the territory mentioned; that the national congress should so reend th laws affecting the public lands as to repeal the stone, , desert land and. lieu land acta, and tha commuta tion clause of th homestead act, and that tha latter ebouid b ajnndd ta allow a citisen to take up at least one section of arid or non-irrigated land aa a homestead. Another important resolution that will b Introduced will be th following: "Resolved. That between the irrigated farma and the non-Irrigated grating land of th Wet ther la produced all th material for making the choicest ot commercial food meat. All that is lack ing Is an accurate knowledge aa to the proper methods and proportions In which to combine these existing elements, and tha national government Is urged to as sist In conducting the necessary experi ments to thaw the western stockman how to maka meats of tha products of tha western ranch and range." '-v.. Taa Woolggvsms. During the aelon ef . the National "Woolgrowers' association an effort will be made to Indorse th abov resolutions t be Introduced by the National. Live stock association, beside paaslng. reso lutions that will directly affect the sheep Industry. One subject to b acted upon will be: Shall not sheep be entitled to th same privileges and treatment in the use of tha public lands and forest reserve for grsslng as eattl and other livestock? Should th bureau of animal Industry be urged to extend its work of inspection for scabies In sheep to the In spection of dipping of sheep not in the Interstata commerce, or should this work b left exclusively to 'th authorities of the' different states? '-Conditions, attending th marketing of wool and sheep, will ba carefully consid ered at the earning convention. . Weekly Cattt Seoelp..
