An advance of too per hundred pounds
was made in the sugar market this
morning, thus confirming the exclusive
forecast made by The journal Saturday,
As waa told at that time the market
wis In very good shape since the recent
decline, and heavy purchases have re
sulted everywhere on the coast Out
side of the fact that the beet sugar
men were somewhat afraid that they
would not be able to move their greater
crop at the higher prices, the maraet
has been acting extremely well all the
time, sales being of the right 1 propor
tion for this time of yenr. The advance
of 20c made todav takes effect from
the start of business this morning. The
'advance was quoted by both refineries.
Cracker Market la Higher.
There was an advance In the cracker
market today on sodas, owing to the In
creased rout of production, both by rea
son or recent rises in materials ana m
the flour market. According to a cir
cular sent out by the Pacific Coast Bis
cuit company and taking effect this
morning, common sodas are now quoted
at 7 to a for bulk goods, as compared
with 70 Burdiy. Picnics are quoted
today at 8c a pound, an advance of He
over former values. Quarter boxes of
sodas are still quoted at $1.15, but the
market Is very firm at thiit figare, and
the trade expected an advance In ttiat
line.
Potatoes Oolng to Arlsona.
Vhlle there Is no hone of California
business at this time, the potato mar
ket is holding well locally with buyers,
paving 7Sc for best stock at valley
points. Although there Is nothing but
a small amount of Arizona business at
low prices.' the market is holding Its
own quite well. Locally trade Is quite
good, and supplies are Just fair on ac
count of the press of farm work.

morning. Very good shape.
A large amount of peaches went Into

small domand.
Huckleberry supplies are so libera
that prices are ruling all the way from

Portland Union Stockyards. Oct. 7.
Cattle are dull today owing to a glutted
market. While local receipts in them
selves are not over-heavy, the fact that
killers aie beginning to receive their
contract stuff, has caused much dull
ness In the yards. The big killers do
rot care to buy cattle except at their
own values these not being up quite
as high as the present market.
A year ago today cattle values were
advanced 26c.
Only a nominal number of hogs came
nto the yards over Sunday and the de
mand was stiff at former values. A
enr ago the market was steady.
Run of sheen In the yards was small
over Sunday and trade is very g-ond. A
ear ago today sheen advanced 25c. To
day 6U head of horses arrived.

SHORT SELLERS GET TOGETHER

tint down their values from lc to 2o
a pound in the hp market.
While tne snorts are sun very anxious
to secure hops they feel that the mar
ket Is getting away from them, and
those who have contracts for early de
livery are trying their utmost to get
hrewera to date the contract back two
months at a lower range of values. At
that time they expect to have given the
growers their fill of holding, and hope

Even yesterday the country was in
vaded by buyers and efforts were made
to secure hops nt 10c a pound for choic

you could meet buyers at every turn
of the road, and if you had hops to sell
they would be sure to try to secure
them, especially If they were choice.

Growers were warned against picking
Several Bales at 10 Cents.
It now develops that a number of
sales- were made at 10c a pound the
latter part of last week, the one re
ported at Woodburn by The Journal
yesterday being the latest. However
the word has now gone forth from the
short sellers to hold the market in check
because if they continue to buy at 10c
it will not be long before the market
goes beyond that figure, and out of their
reach. Dealers interviewed today state
that all their orders show lower limits
Whether this is merely a bluff to force
growers to let go easier is not known,
but the producer takes it that way.

In a lecture before the society of
Bible Spiritualists in the A. O. TJ. W.
hall, last night, Mrs. Abigail Scott Dun
lway spoke on "The Powers of
Thought." She spoke particularly of
the Reynolds-Hibbins murder case, and
called attention to the hypnotic spell
cast over the unfortunate woman In the
case. In part, tie said:
"I am convinced that nothing but the
lingering power of a Svengallan spell
would have induced his unfortunate vic
tim to throw restraint to the winds and
regardless of the presence of others,
cast herself upon the lifeless form of
the villain who. even In death, held her
will or thought forces spellbound. The
letters written by this woman under the
influence of this spell show her to have
been not a bad woman at heart. It was
simply a case of blind obedience to a
hypnotic power, as potent, while it last
ed, as a virulent case of typhoid fever."
Mrs. Duniway also spoke of a more re
cent case now in the public mlnd
"Maudlin public sentiment." she said.
"Is endeavoring to shield a woman from
the consequence of an act of which no
man would be guilty, and which calls
loudly for a Jury of women to sit In
Judgment upon it. Men are in no con
dition to deal Justly by a woman who
uses the baleful Influence of perverted
sexual power' to place public man In
compromising positions. It is no excuse
ror a woman guilty or such conduct to
say that she Is weak.
''This Is the evil side of the nower of
thought perverted. Its cure is knowl
edge; Its preventive is understanding.
Properly controlled and understnnd th
power of hypnotic thought Is infinite for
good. But in the hands of the un
scrupulous. It Is like dynamite, and in
ine nanus 01 ine ignorant it is like a
lighted match applied to a powder maga
zine. But when used with wisdom and
discretion it 1s like the ether that per
vades all space, or the electric power
that lights and moves the world and
runs the universe."

FIND MAX'S BODY
IX WILLAMETTE
Perhaps the victim of foul play, the
body of Daniel McKlnnon was found In
the river near the Biirnslde bridge at
10 o'clock yesterday morning by Pa
trolmen Hales and Ooltz. The body was
kept afloat by a large nlank which Mc
Klnnon had grasped- In his death strug
gles. The fact that there was a deep
gash in the back of McKlnnon's head
leads the police to suspect that the man
may have been sandbagged. The corpse
was removed to Pltiley's- undertaking
establishment by Deputy Coroner Ar
thur Flnley.
It is known that McKlnnon was paid
last Saturday evening, and when last
seen by friends had been drinking heav
ily. He had been employed as a laborer
on various east side construction gangs
and Is a veteran of the fpantsh war.
