Although one or two creameries still pretend to hold "up the price of best city creamery butter to 87 He a pound, prac tically little business is being done be yond S6c and the market is not any too firm at that figure. The T. S. Town send company was the latest concern to quote the lower price and this action of this big concern in pulling down the market shows the way the wind is blowing. While the Haseiwood company is still quoting 87 H a pound today for Diuty d a decline to 8&0 later in the day or tomorrow morning. The principal factor in making but ter priMs at this time is the general absence of northern business. Only a small amount of outside business is re ported because this market continues to be the highest on the Pacific coast; in fact, it is the highest producing market in the United States. Ohloksn Supplies Are Too Small, The volume of arrivals in the chicken market is somewhat smaller than the current demand and especially for fancy hens the prices are hugging the top closer than ever. Springs are moving all right but mostly at the lower range of values. Cold storage holders are withdrawing large supplies of eggs from local plants owing to the scarcity of ranoh arrivals. Market in fine shape at top values. According to advioes reoelved here from Tillamook there la still held by manufacturers there 2,000 cases of cheese of August ' make besides about 1,000 cases which were moved out on the steamer Elmore yesterday, en route to this market As Portland la the only market on the Paolfle coast at this time that will pay the prenent high rrif of ValuSJ, Practically air the stocks must be sold here. This will cause a smaller demand than would be the case were the northern cities buyers as well. According to a report received by a local handler from a big Seattle con cern, that market cannot afford to pur chase Tillamook cheese at thla time be cause of the enormous values asked. The northern Arm says that It la able to lay down eastern ; cheese in the sound city at less than IS Ho, the price makers are asking jobbers, so will not be able to do business with Oregon makers at 15c f. o. b. this city. The Seattle con cern likewise says that the market there 'is tilled -with' Wisconsin stock, while costing less than Oregon cheese, sells from H to le a pound more. While prices axe unchanged here to day the market is showing considerable dullness. Holiday Along Front Street. There was Utile business transacted in the produce district today on account of Labor day, a state holiday. How ever, there were very heavy arrivals from all sides. Peaches came faster than ever, two day's shipments being received along the street on a holiday. Most of the stock, however, was in good shape and will bear keeping over for tomorrow. This will place three days' arrivals on sale tomorrow. Three cars of bananas came in this morning in very good shape. Presnnd meats will likely oontinne in good demand during the present week.

It now appears) reni-4apresldesiys-aieetts" Provincetown 10 days airo. It was cer tainly not based on any reassuring things the president said, for the more these utterances are pondered over the more impulsive, rash and ill-considered the whole policy of the government ap pears. Wall street's view of the mat ter, however, was entirely practical. If this most radical and vindicative of presidential outgivings failed to Induce new liquidations, then it was to be as sumed that stocks had passed Into the hands of people who thought they were low enough to warrant the risk of hold ing on, or, as It would be more com monly stated, the extreme low figure reached in the middle of last month, seemed to have measured the worst ef fect which the agitation against cor porations in any form that has yet ap peared were likely to have upon finan cial conditions. Believe Stoeks Are tAttep. If the uncertainty of the future trade movements as well as the uncertainty of the political outlook of the campaign against corporations, they must be re garded as reasons for not expecting much advance, even if they have ex hausted their power for depressing & rices. The upward Impulse which has etm-sirowrrn tnir market this week may easily be carried further. But out side conditions have not changed enough to warrant anticipating much of an ad vance. , All that has positively been made clear is that at the level which prices reached a fortnight ago Investment capital was xndy to take its risk in the market.

A large percentage 'of the population oT Grants Pass Is now employed at the hopyards on the ' Rogue and Applegate rivers. Picking is now well under way and the delightful weather of the past week has favored both the pickers and the grow ers. Practically all of the yards that were cultivated and cared for will be picked of their hops, -A week or so ago there were a few growers who talked of letting; the yards go unpicked, but these have changed their minds. On account of the unfavorable outlook ln the matter of prices earlier in the sea son, several of the owners of smaller yards did not train their vines, not hav ing the funds at their disposal to guar antes 1 pickers, and the banks were not disposed to make loans on hopyards. Had all the yards been cultivated the crop would have been a record-breaker In Josephine county - this ..year. The vines are heavily loaded and the' bops firm and of good quality.

Itbinds communities into one sensate mate and keeps the business tenter of a nation in constant com munication each with the other. The output of all the factories nor the equipment of all the operating companies is sufficient to properly supply the demand for service. A business of such importance, entrenchment and extent should be THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL ON EARTH. Its securities should be considered standard for investment pur poses and as safe as government bonds. HomeNBonds FACTS ArtE Few people outside of financial circles know what a public utility bond is, but were it not for these unit mortgages, street car lines, trans-continental railroads, gas, electric, water and power companies and every public utility now in use would hardly exist. The telephone is not an unknown quantity and its bond issues are quite as legitimate as any first mortgage secured by the assets of either of the above corporations or on a piece of real estate. This is strictly A business proposition and by this method of unit mortgages 4 all progress in great undertakings is provided. TRUST COMPANIES Are akin to these transactions for it is a part of their legal right to buy, sell, exchange or underwrite part or entire bond issues. Portland has never been a bond center on account of Oregon's wonderful natural resources which offered such other inducements to attract attention from any well-secured first mortgage bond carrying a low rate of interest offered by various bond houses, therefore all public utilities and municipal bond issues put out in this territory were pur chased and retailed by eastern banks and trust companies. Now there comes a time in the history of all cities when opportunities to GET RICH QUICK in lumber, milling, mining or speculating ceases and the community gets down to looking for the steady income. 'Tis then the capitalist, banker and home-builder looks to the responsible bond houses for the investments I am referring to. I have sold to hundreds of banks and trust companies these and other bonds but Oregon is yet too full of play with its forests, mills and mines to look for a steady income for its savings, and its financial students have expected too much earning power for their surplus funds, or to encourage bond selling in this community. They have also become rutty and rude to the newcomer for advancing a market for its own munici pal and public utility interest-bearing securities. I have no complaint to make, no excuses to offer. My business is to BUY AND SELL LEGITIMATE INTEREST-BEARING SECURITIES, or to act as agent for those who have same to offer, and no corporation was ever harmed by any sales I ever made them. I am sensitive to criticism of course; on the other hand, J am particularly grateful for your favor, and -trust I have conducted myself m your city in such a manner that any attacks from those insanely jealous of my successes will be ridiculed. I am deeply grateful to many ofdihe de positors of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, to the public and to the press for their flattering endorsement of my course and for their kind personal expressions. Very truly yours, LOUIS JT WILDE.
