, Late yesterday afternoon there waa
' pounds in tha quotations on ,all grades
nf aiia-ar In rha Pnrtlanil markaL Both
I refineries - made- the ehenge- about the
. same time. The decline wniie not ruiiy
' explained la said to be due entirely to
i the attitude of the beet men. The
heavy crop of beet sugar this season
; has caused stocks of the beet product
to accumulate, hence the beet men
' wanted to lower the prloe so that eon
. sumption would sthereby be Increased.
When tje beet men first broached ths
, suDjeoi 01 lower prices o goi mo u, -plus
out of the way, It Is stated that
the cans manufacturers held back and
r wanted to continue tne oia xigures. ii
! llkewlaa stated that the beet men
' threw down the gauntlet and stated thst
they were going -to puu aown vaiues
, 10 cents whether the cane people liked
It or not The result was that later
all lntereats agreed to quote the lower
I values. The friction between, the can
, and beet reflnerlea Is growing worse
and this may resuu in sun runner
declines later.
Poultry lntereats Arc Apart.
With the larger buyers of poultry
, out of the market at this time there
. Is very little doing In the trade just
now. A few small buyers are taking
' on soma supplies but their wants ars
. limited at best and they do not care to
1 take too great chances on a weak mar
! set. While the reoelpta of poultry are
heavy the sellers claim there la now
occasion for the present dullness. On
the other hand the larger buyera say
that they were perfectly wining to pay
. the quotations as listed by The Journal,
but these were secretly boosted by the
receivers. However at the moment they
aay they say they are out of the mar
ket This condition la a usual one and
the trade expects the market to Im
prove during the coming week.
Eggs are selling today- at tl centi
for atrlctlv fresh local stock In an or-
' dtnary way with aome dealers talking
of 82 Vt eenta In single lots. Re
ceipts are still very Jlght
Tha rhwi. market la ahowina- an (m
eroved buying demand as a result of
the lower prices here e.nd ths recent
advance in tne east.
Creamery butter remains dull but
fairly steady ror oity jnanuiaoiure. vai
ues unchanged.
Xops Ar Selling Again.
While nothing of a definite nature
can be told at tnis unit, it is siaiea
that sales of hops at valley points dur
ing the past 48 hours wers quite lib
, oral with best stock ranging close to
t cents while prime to choice finds, a
, demand at 8 .and I ft cents. It Ja stated
that llorst II taking on gome lots
around the latter figure. '
The New York Producers' Pjrloe Cur
rent says of the situation:
"A little more Inquiry la noted on
the local market tne past wees: ror ivuo
' hops and a few small transactions are
reported. One small lot of choice Ore
gons sold at 7 cents While poorer lots
have sold at C cents. At present writ
ing It Is Intimated tnat more Dusiness
could be done if holders would make
concessions In pries. Further samples
received of the late pickings of the New
York state crop show that the attack
of lice and mold seriously damaged the
the hop crop in this state, ana tne qual
ity of the bulk of the hops will be poor,
with some lots so poor that they are
today entirely neglected. The quantity
is turning out about as predicted, some
crops falling short 25 to 60 per cent
of last year's yield. Estimates today
range from 86,000 bales, which Is con
sidered too low by reliable parties, to
tO.OOO bales.
Reports from California are un
changed. Samples from all sections
show much better quality than last
year, and they will undoubtedly have
a fine crop In that state, Washington
reports are unchanged. Picking still
continues but will be finished shortly.
The market for new hops Is slow In
opening.
"Advices from England and the con
tinent arc unchanged. The English
crop Is expected to be around 400,000
cwt Prices of the new crop In Eng
land have opened at SOs. to 70s. per
cwt. The German crops are heavy and
?ualtty good. New Germans are of
ered at a basis of 27 81c, New York."

: ply than others.

(Special' DUpttch to' Tbe Journal.)
...New Tork, Sept. 21 With scarcely
an exception the men who, before the
disclosures of the Armstrong committee,
were prominent figures In the manage
ment of the three-a-reat insurance com
panics have dropped Into oblivion. Their
names are now seldom heard, so com
plete has been the eclipse. Many of them,
their reputations blasted by the Insur
ance revelations, have gone Into exile In
foreign countries; others, with wrecked
health, are passing equally miserable
aays. .
Ask those who were the former lntl
mates of these men where they may be
found, and the Inevitable reply will be
that they do not know. No one seems
to bother to keep In touch with them,
and so far as ths exiles are concerned
they seem more than contented to be lg
nored.
A well known Insurance man waa
asked a few days ago If he had beard
anyining lately rrom Alexander Mocur
dy, Hyde or any other of the Insur
ance wisarda who, ouly two years ago,
were in the habit of being freely con
sulted about anything pertaining to In
surance.
"No." was tha renlv. "thev have all
dropped out of eigne We never hear a
wora rrom them, never anytnlng about
them. It la Just ss though they never
lived, except, of course, for the reputa
tion they have left. The hardest Job a
man could have is to round up those
men who directed things in the three
compsnles before the Armstrong com
mittee got to work."
IfoCurdy Xa TSldlng.
Of the Insurance presidents, Rtchsrd
A. McCurdy, former head of the Mutual
Life, has managed to keep his where
abouts most profoundly secret Mc
Curdy resigned from the company No
vember 29, 1906, while it was under fire.
He gave up a salary of $160,000 a year,
sold his magnificent estate at MOrrlo
town and went abroad. He has not re
turned. It Is said that he is eetab
llshed with his family In a quiet re
treat in the outskirts of Paris, but Mc
Curdy has never communicated with bis
friends here and nobody is certain Just
where he is.
McCurdy's health wss shattered when
he left this country and physicians de
clared that he had not many years to
live, worry naa undermined his con
stitution. James W. Alexander, after his resig
nation front the presidency of the Equit
able, suffered a complete breakdown in
body and mind and was taken to a san
itarium. Later he went to Europe, but
his health did not Improve. A week ago
ne was reported to De in Shanghai, still
under rigid care of fats physicians, but
gradually falling.
James Hasen Hyde, who was forced tn
resign the vice-presidency of the Equit
able and sold his stock to Thomas F.
Ryan for $2,500,000, has been in Paris
since the first shock of ths Insurance
Investigation. In going he surrendered
his leadership of a social set and gave
up all the associations of which he was
fond in this country. He is now living
a subdued existence in the Parisian cap
ital, trying to forget
Sepew Seldom Heard From.
Chauncey M. Depew, who received a
retainer of $20,000 a year from the
Equitable and had to realgn aa a direc
tor, la seldom heard from. While once
the stellar attraction as a post-prandial
orator and story teller at famous ban-
! quets, his presence is no longer In de
mand, xne senator s neaitn is poor and
he Is spending his remaining days as
quieuy as possioie.
Thomas D. Jordan, former comptroller
or me iquitaDie, nea immediately after
tne Armstrong committee Degan its in
vestigation nnd remained In seclusion
for over two years. In the meantime he
was indicted. Four months ago Jordan
appeared in the city and pleaded not
guilty on 19 Indictments charging for
gery and perjury. His trial has been
set for this fall. Jordan Is living In
retirement awaiting the day.
Robert A. GrannTs and Dr. Walter G.
Gillette, who were vice-presidents of
the Mutual, will also be tried this fall
on charges of forgery and perjury.
George W. Perkins, who resigned as
vice-president and chairman of the fi
nance committee of the New York Life,
will be placed on trial later in the win
ter if District Attorney Jerome keeps
his word. Perkins is still associated
with J. P. Morgan ft Co. but Is not
actively known any longer in finance
affairs.
Bnnliam Ont on Ball
George Burnham, former vice-president
of the Mutual, who was sent to
Sing Sing to serve a sentence of two
years on the charge of forgery, waa
granted a new trial by a higher court
after he had been In prison for a few
months. He is now out on bail.
Andrew Hamilton, who acted as legis
lative agent for the New York Life and
left the country to avoid appearing as a
witness before the Armstrong Investi
gators, Is now in Paris.
Andrew C. Fields, legislative agent for
the Mutual, whose "House of Mirth" at
Albany figured in the developments of
the Insurance scandal. Is a pitiable
wreck and hobbles painfully about' on
crutches. He is living out of town,
away from his former associates.
Others who have become lost to the
insurance world since the Armstrong
probe and are no longer seen in their
old haunts are Robert H. McCurdy, son
of the former Mutual president and
Louis A. Thlebaud, son-in-law of Rich
ard A. McCurdy, who together made
nearly $3,000,000 In commissions out of
the company. Thlebaud was general
agent of the Mutual.

Council Will Probably Grant
Him Extension of Time
Until the Supreme Court
Passes Upon Appeal Taken
by Meat Packer. ,,
Louis Zimmerman will be allowed to
operate hla packing plant contrary to
the rulings of the circuit court and the
dealres of the city officials until after
the meeting of the council tomorrow,
at which time ha expects to be granted
an additional duration of time.
At the council meeting yesterday
afternoon a resolution was introduced
providing that the Zimmerman plant
could be operated pending the decision
of ths supreme court in the case now
pending on appeal from the Multnomah
county circuit court It waa held by
Mayor Iane that the operation of a
city . ordinance could not be stayed or
repealed by a simple resolution, and
It was decided, therefore, to hold a spe
cial meeting tomorrow to consider the
request of Mr. Zlmmsrman.
Will Qraat Extension.
At tha oresent time there Is nendlnr
in the supreme court an appeal taken
there by Zimmerman affecting his
power to operate the packing plant In
South Portland owned by him. Follow
ing the lines of the supreme court rul
ing against the ordinance granting per
mission to the Pacific States packing
plant to opersts within the citv limits.
Zimmerman was arrested some time aa-o
charged with operating hla plant with
out an ordinance giving mm the power.
He was convicted of violating the
health ordinance of the city and ap
pealed hU case to the sunreme court.
alleging that an old ordinance gave him
power 10 maintain nis punt That ap
peal Is now pending.
Yesterday, however. Mr. Zlmtnartnan
appeared before the council asking for
permission 10 operate nis plant until
the declalon of the aUDrema court waa
handed down. Tomorrow thj draft of
an ordinance will be presented granting
auiiiumy 10 operate- me Zimmerman
plant pending thla decision.
-mere is grave doubt in the mtnda of
several of the councilman and other city
officials as to the wisdom of granting
such a reauest br the nsssss-e of an or
dinance. It Is argued that In order to
give the permission it would be neces
sary to repeal or at leaat to atay the
operation of existing ordinances upon
the subject which forbid the mainten
ance Of such sn institution within the
corporate limits. It. Is believed that
should these provisions be set aside and
permiaaton De granted to operate the
plant In the event of a declalon uhfa
vorable to Mr. Zimmerman he could
continue to conduct his business with
out danger of molestation under the
plea that there were no ordinances pre
venting. In other words if the council repeals
the existing ordinances tomorrow so
that Mr. Zimmerman can operate his
plsnt, It will be necessary or special
action to be taksn repealing this proced
ure before the Institution can be closed,
even should the supreme court hold with
the city in its contention. An indefi
nite delay on the part of the council
would allow opportunity for tha Indefi
nite operation of the plant.
It tn slso belns- ara-ued that, afimilit
the permission be given to Zimmerman, '
it wuuki or nBcenmiy carry permission
to other people who desired to engage in
similar occupations, since no special
legislation could be granted and this
would In effect tske out of the hands
of the police and health departments the
power to regulate the butcher or slaugh
tering business within the city limits
until sncn time ss ths council would
take further action reestablishing the
law.
It seems, therefore, that the success
or Air. icimmerman s pian is likely to
mm wiin many oosiruciions Derore It
is rinaiiy considered Dy the council.
