The market was led down tne hill by arriman laaues and It failed to make the slightest fight toward a price recovery aurlna- the dav's ses sion. Government charges against the big financier and counter charges had a depreaalng effect upon the stock mar ket even during the early trading. The market opened with general weakness and failed to hold Its own at anv tlma during the trading. The volume of tradlnar was emails tha total sales falling under 600,000 shares. The public was not in the market to ny extent and this probably ketit the market from showina- further losses. Call loans remain at low figures, with plenty of money being offered.

'lne glass sand has been lo cated near Coburg, and a practical glass manufacturer from Norwav la now in Portland to take charge or tne mecnani cal work of tha nrooosed Dlant. ' Guatav Matbleaon. who has been a laaamsker In Norwav and Germany since he was a boy of 7 years, is en- thuslaktlc and conlldent or tne ultimate success of the glass-malting industry In Oreiron. Ma cama to thla oftv two years ago from the old country, and began the search lor glass sand, in a snort time he located a larce deposit near Coburg, and built a small furnace for experi mental purposes. He baa now demon atrated beyond question the value of the sand and the adaptability or tne water and other necessary elements that go with suocesatul glaas manufacture. Oregon the Place. "Oresron Is the place for this indus try, not only on account of the Quality of sand found, but for the reason that the water here Is perfectly suitable for glass-making.'' he said. "I have had In ducements to go to Oklahoma to start a glaas factory. But the water there Is not satisfactory. I would rather atay In Oreron. There Is here every neces sary thing that goes Into the making of glaaa. "A small plant could be built at a coat of $12,000 or $15,000 for the manu facture of fruit Jars, to start the busi ness. Later a complete olnnt for win dow glaas could be built, ooatlng $100, 000 or more. 1 can make glass here and sell It for the freight charges alone from the east, and make a good profit. " Mr. Mathleson has not been In America long enough to have acquired fluent use of the language, but his abbreviated commenta carry conviction to his hearers, and he has aroused deep Interest In members of the chamber of commerce, who believe that glass manu facturing would ' develop Into one of Oregon's most Important Industries. To the present time the enormous de mand for glass products on the Pacific coast has not resulted In the establish ment of any glaaa-making Industry In the Pacific northwest The elass used here Is Imported from Europe In sailing vessels or brought from the east by rail, or comes via Panama In steam ships. An enormoun trade In window frlasa awaits the flrst successful Port anil manufacturer of a commercial lino of glaas produots. SS DORMS IS AIID ESCAPE LAl'J Portlanders Gullible Vic tims for Distribution of Outlawed Notes. Thousands of dollars of good money are being extracted from gullible busi ness men throughout PorUand and the state by the use of old bills of the Planters, and -Meroaants Bank of Georgia, a state institution which went out of commission in 1860. 'Ihe bills resemble the currency of the United States and by being split and paated togetner can oe maae to nave tne gen eral appearance of old btlla. with theaa the men malre small purchases and receive good money In change. L. J. Baylor has been arrested by the fiollce. ostensibly on a charge of hav ng opium in his possession, but In re ality for having passed some of tha bills. His pal, Frank Cavlneaa, la also being sought on the same charge, but has not yet been found by the police. Cannot Be rn&ished. A peculiar phase of the case is that under the Oregon law it does not seem Dosslble to punish the men for having passed tl.4 bills, while they cannot bo held liable for counterfeiting owing to the fact mat the bills are simply out lawed paper ef a defunct bank. The authorities ore searching for a means of brlna-lna- the men to book. Baylor was arraigned ana triea in tne municipal court thla morning for hav ing opium in his possession. His case was taaen unaer maviaemem until Wednesday or Judge Cameron, and in the meantlmu the district attorney's office wlJl search the Oregon law to find some way to reach him for passing the old bills. Detectives Hawley.

Altogether tne men seam to have a more or less secure position so far as direct prosecution Is concerned unless some new way can be found to get at them.

Baptist Ministers Engage in Lively Discussion on Birthright. The Baptist ministers engaged In a warm discussion thla morning follow ing a paper by Rev. S. C Lapham on "The Fatherhood of God." The chief point at lsaue was concerning the child's birthright of sin. and gave rise to the question whether men were naturally the children of God who went aatray and by regeneration returned to their natural state, or whether they were naturally the children of the devil who had to lie regenerated before they could be saved. Mr. Lapham championed the former view and spoke of the entire race of Adam aa the "prodigal race" which had gone astray like the prodigal son, but could return at any time to the having grace of God by repentance and re- Jenuration. Rev. I. M. Monroe and Rev. . Leonard were the chief champions of the other side.

It is thought the price for shearing will be about 714 cents per neaa, ana mere is a large preierence shown for hand-shearing, owing to the fact that the machines injure the roots of the wool by cutting too close to the skin of the sheep. The skin of the machine-shorn sheep, being clipped ex tremely close, sunburns badly and this retards the growth of the wool for an other year. Wool and sheep buyers are already on the ground, and there promises to be spirited bidding for wool and mutton sheep all over this section. Ewes which will bear a lamb this spring and having a heavy fleece of wool upon them ars now worth 6 per head in eastern Ore gon.
