tlma very little new business la going
on, the exporter here and on l'uget
aound devoting their attention to clean
ing up old business that was made early
In the season. The near approach of
the holiday will be a fm tor to deal
with. European buyers Indulge In more
pleasure than business nnd let the lat
ter wait until the festivities are over.
The handicap of ae-curlng money con
tinues to be the dominating Influences
In our marketa at present, and opera
tions are limited. Some buying la be
ing indulged In dally, but the total salea
of OHCh day are very Insignificant, con
sidering the also of the crop and whut
remains unsold. Those who confine
their operations to the little business
that comes their way make no effort
to extend It while the situation la so
unsatisfactory and proapecta so uncer
tain. Shipment thla month will be
quit heavy and receipts of wheat are
becoming larger dally. The railroads
are using every endeavor to keep cur
moving, and allow no detention of vea
aels In port. Arrivals are becoming
quite frequent, snd exports before the
turr of the year will be quite large.
The moat discouraging feature of the
present money situation la the univer

EXPECTING A DROP
IN EGG QUOTATIONS
"Egga seem to be coming In a
little more freely and It Is likely
that prices will ease off some-
what In the. not distant future.
"Butter Is quite firm at tha
advance, although It seems as if
stocks were quite ample. It is
not likely that there will be any
further advance in the near fu-
ture. f
"Poultry baa not been any too
firm of late, and while stocks
have not, been large, they have
been dragging and with little
life to tho market. ' There Is
quite a demand for small lots of
fancy dressed turkeys, however,
and 'there will be from week to
4 week. I look for a -better do-
mand for good live hens and
springers the coming week, also
on geese and ducks. It will be
well for those who will have
fat dressed goods for this mar-
ay ket .on Christmas to soon de-
clars themselves.
"Small fat veals ar quite
firm and scarce at top price!.
Pork is In large supply, but fat,
solid packers and block animals
are good sellers.
"Hides ar very low and weak.
"Potatoes dull and dragging,"

to be loaded at Rrtioks for New York.
There Is a State Hop association al
ready formed at Urook. Oreaon. W. H
Kgan of Rrooks la president and James
Coleman of Balem secretary, lie should

llrooka, and some of Its best work waa
don by former Secretary Jame Wln-
tanley of Salem.
Home years ago there wo In the hop

down, and coming up' buyers were ac-
ive. In one week thev were again 2J

This was a great day In the municipal
court. Never at any time within tho
memory of the oldest habitue hav the
sacred precincts of the time-worn and
smoke-begrlmed chamber taken on such
a gala appearance. Kven the Inevitable
line of "drunks," as they filed In to
take their customary lecture at the
hands of Judge Cameron, cast fright
ened look at tha unaccustomed sur
roundings and furtively brushed their
oiled and tattered rarments In an In
effectual effort to live up to the new
ordor of things.
It was al due, of course ,to the new
furniture. New desks, ne'w chairs, new
umbrella stands and hatracks, all re
splendent In shiny varnish and brass
fittings took th place so long occu
pied by the wreck of what wa probably
at one time, a quarter of a century or
more ago, passably decent courtroom
fitting. ...

it ,im ni ran ii Ira anv great amount of
nntnra or arirument to convince the
councllmen that It was up to them, and
they rose to the emergency. The dele
