r loaded and Willing to ;;
Accept Eeduction.
Latest market feature! r
Butter supplies ottered lower.
Some peaohes aell low.
Trying to unload eaatern egga.
. Chlttlm situation la mixed.
Great scarcity of dressed meata.
Orapea are selling well.
Export flour advanced 10c.
Oata and barley firmer...
Small offerings of hay.
Only beat hopa are wanted.
Belt peppers come rather feat.
Weather helpa melon Bale.
Offer Butter at Bednotloa.
The true atata of the creamery butter
. altuatlon can be easily Judged when It
la shown that practically three quarters
of the make of butter In Oregon at thla
time la being offered at lower values.
Outalde creameries report that since the
ralna their production has lnoreaaed
fully a quarter some aay a third.
Along Front atreet the price la consid
erably weaker and the best product la
celling and la being freely offered at
12 Uc a pound or 65o a aquare. The
leadina brands of outalde creamery usu
ally aell at the same figures as do the
best city manufacture, but ao great are
the auDDlles that the former believe
they will not be able to unload and keep
the channel of trade clear If they hold
tor the higher figure. Thla may later
on Influence the price of city creamery.
No change In the latter today, however.
Consumption Greatly Decreased.
At the present high price of butter
mere haa been a marxea aecrease in
eonsumotion. At TOo a aauare the re
tail cost of, butter la 80o, thus putting
ino oncv ud id lucn & iikui w.
S fmi)Je jcannpt afford to eat butter at
aii, ana many omers wm im- nu aw
much aa formerly. It la noted that
aince the recent advance In the price of
creamery there haa been a great deal
more Inquiry for the cheaper grades,
which are usually neglected except by
the very cheapest restaurants. A larger
amount of Imitation butter and oleo
margarine Is likewise being consumed
on account of the high price of the real
creamery article.
Trying- to Unload Sastem Stra
in order to unload some of their sur
plus aupplies of cheap eastern eggs,
some of the handlers are quoting local
eggs several cents higher than the ac
tual market, a sale of a single case prob
ably being made to some dealer who Is
not up on market values. For fancy
eastern eggs there Is a legitimate de
mand at good values, but holders of
cheap quality Invariably boost the price
Or the local proauci so iney can mauce
the trade to take some of the former
at a reduction from the price local goods
are actually moving at. Along iron
atreet today ears are actually selling a
27c a doann with an occasional sale a
fraction higher than this amount.
, For fancy hens the demand is fully
up to the supplies along produce row,
but springs are still negiecieu.
Chlttlm Situation Is Mixed.
The chlttlm bark situation is very
badly mixed again. While there are
reports of 7c a pound being paid, it Is
elated that this price nas never oeen
paid -here this season, top offers being at
ttc, and thla only In car lota. For
email lotl the general price Is 6c, f. o. b.
Portland. According to late eastern
Journals of , trade, there la very little
doing in the chlttlm bark market there.
Some small sales are reported that
would admit of 6c and 6 Ho a pound toe
ing paid here. On account of the re
ceni stories of heavy advances In the
prifce, holders of old chlttlm' are doing
vyry well, because the 'advanced prices
hsvA mused first holders to wait a
jghlle before letting go. the hope being
that prices would move suu nigner.
Brief Votes of the Trade.
5 Peach market la in bad shape for
poor Quality, some six-iier siock intra
Vrnaiar is hard to move at any price,
Last night a local firm sold 253. boxes
to hawkers at 20c a box. Market for
fancy stock remains In fine shape, beat
stock In pink wrappers selling between
flnrr and II. General price remains
rniinf1 7fic end 85c.
nenners are In much larger sup
ply. Small slies doWn to 6c, with large
onea at 8c.
Huckleberries are coming very fast
from Puget sound points. Quality bet
ter than usual with Bales at 9c and 10c
a pound.
Grape market la In fine shape, al
though lower prices are named on Con
cords because of the great increase In
supplies.
Potato orders are coming slowly
from Arlaona, because of the easier
price in California, due to the larger
offerings there. Present price seems
to be about the limit for soutnwestern
Onion growers are beginning to offer
small lots again on tne local marKBi,
Outside of home demand there Is little
doing as yet. Price about unchanged.
Sale of watermelons and cantaloupes
Is helped by the late warm weatner ana
prices are holding steady.

tha past Soma time ago the oomoany
announced that the rates on residence

The result was a oetltlon circulated

effective. Every consumer signed it
and aeveral local capitalists signified
their willingness to build and install a

Y. M. C. A. PROJECT AT
EUGENE IS REVIVED
(Special Dispatch to Tke JesraaL)
Eugene, Or., Sept I. Ivan B.
Rhodes, state secretary of tha Y. M.
C. A., haa been In Eugene the past two
days trying to revive Interest lir tha
proleot of establishing an organization
in Eugene and erecting a brick building
as a home for tha institution. The
movement was started about two years
ago, but was temporarily abandoned ow
ing to the apparent lack of intereat man
ifested by the citizens. Options had
been taken on a site for a proposed fine
two-story brick building and a few thou
sand dollars was subscribed, but the
committee in charge became discour
aged and gave it up for the lime being.
it la tnought that now is a good time

PORTLAND'S BEST
Rev. William Hiram Foulkea who haa
returned from hla vacation trip through
eaatern states says that east or weut,
Portland's best, and that aside from the
fact that his family was here, Port
land holds the palm in many ways.
Detroit is thriving, and Cnlcaso is
striving," savs Mr. Foulkes, "but well,
Portland is the best of all.'
At the Winona Lake i'.lole conference

eelf were together for sorne days, and
while 1 was Dreachlnr for two Sundays
In Detroit, Dr. E. P. Hill was also
there preaching. I have enjoyed it all.
Dut it is good to be back and to get to
work again."
SPENDTHRIFT KNOWS
FRENZIED FIIIAIiCE
Passer of Worthless Checks
Certainly Knows All Fine
Points of Illegal Game.
O. E. Slater, the. young telephone con
tractor, who was arreated for passing a
Worthless check for 860 on Clyde M.
Hills, secretary of the Portland lodge
of Elka and started back to San Diego,
California, thla morning In, . cus tody., of
Constable Place on a cnarga or oDiaw
ing money under false pretenses, cer
tainly knows tha fine points about the
"frenzied finance" game.
Slater came intoabout $30,000 four
years ago, upon the death of his father,
whnm h rlAimn was an ex-governor of
Indiana. He dissipated the fortune in
riotous living, and throughout southern
California was known aa a "good fel
low." When he had managed to spenu
tifa an thfiii.and Slater Dlaced 37.60 On
deposit in the Loa Angeles Loan & Sav
ings bank in July, 1906. He drew sev
eral small checks on thla amount until
only 60 centa balance remained to hla
credit. . .
With only a bank account 01 nait
dollar, Slater, according to ConaUDle
Place, managed to accure at leaet ibuu
by means of worthless checks. Tha
charge on which he is to be tried in
San Diego arose out of hla successful
swindling of Victor Wankowskl, brother
of General Wankowskl, out of $60 by
mna.ni of a fictitious draft on the Los
Angeles Loan & 8avlngs bank.
While in Los Angeles. Slater reponea
tha loss of a suit rase and valise to
the police and while Constable Place
waa hunting for him the young fellow
waa calling at headquarters dally rela
tive to the theft of his belongings. It
haa been learned that he mulcted Her
man Kohn. secretary of the San Fran
cisco lodge of Elks, on a bogus check.
nd his worthless paper is scattered
all over California. Slater is a member
of the Pasadena lodge of Elks and is
well known throuehout that district.
He comes of a fine family and liquor,
race horses and women are aupposed
to have been the cause of his downfall.

TYPEWRITER COVER
Can Be Readily Folded, Occupying
Small Space.
One of the indispensable requlsitiea
of the typewriter la the cover, aa It Is
absolutely necessary to. prevent dust
entering the delicate mechanism. These
covers are Ken rally cumbersome and
unsightly affairs, occupying as much
space as the typewriter Itself. A West
Virginia inventor, noticing how unsat
isfactory these covers were, got to work
on the problem and devised the col
lapsible cover shown in the illustra
tion. This cover is made of a flexible
material, accordloa plaited. It Is spilt
across the top, and when removed from
the typewriter can be folded to be per
fectly flat. One of the advantagee of
