Chicago, March 30. It waa the lower
Liverpool and the absence of foreign
demand that forced a decline of 4o to
4c at the opening of the wheat market
here today. May went to 934c, with
much selling pressure at the start, and
July waa weak and wobbly at 884c.
For May the opening: was the hlah

There, was a sham advance In corn
In the late trading, although there was
little encouragement at the atart Oats

The Baptlat ministers heard an In
teresting paper this morning at their

Hlcka of southern Tennessee, who haa
come here to conduct special meetings
at tha Second Bsptlst church for two
weeks. The subject of his paper waa
"The Supposed Waate In God'e Plan."
Mr. Hlcka Introduced hla aubject with
a reference to the breaklne of the box
of precious ointment by Mary at the
feet of Jeaua. He drew a parallel be
tween thla beautiful Incident and the
life of Keata, one of the most brilliant
and promising of the young poets, who
Waa cut off In tha brlghteat moment of
his promise. Other examplea of Uvea
cut on tnua in tueir early accomplish
mont were cited. Including many nf
God's workers. But he argued that the
influence was not wasted ana? thst the
beautiful lives threw their fragrance
over the world in the aame measure aa
If they hsd lived out their Uvea more
slowly.
Much Interest Is being taken In the
laymen' missionary movement, which
will center In the banquet thla evening
and the mass meeting tomorrow. H. W.
Jonea of Minneapolis, one of the na
tional workers with this movement and
a Baptist, was introduced to the meeting.

Fred A. Jaeoba of the Jacobg-CUae)
compary arrived In Portland yesterday
after an absence of four montha la tba
test Mr. Jacobs has visited nearly
every city of importance in the United .
a. i. - i. a. i.. xta v..
w.nvv "ini m ,m v. ii.i. inn, viu w i ,
having traveled over 11,000 miles and
returned more pleased than aver witli
rcrtiana. in talking witn a Journal
representative today Mr. Jacobs bad
the following to aay of his trio:
"The eyea of the entire saat are cen
tered on the Paciflo coaat. especially on
the northwestern portion of it, and I
predict that an enormoua emigration
o thla aectlon will take place within tha
next couple of yeare. At every . hotel
where I stopped people who did not
even know me came to me to get Infor
mation on the reaourcea of this country
and condltiona that prevailed and many
of them aald that they proposed to sell
their holdings in the east and corns
west." . .
Mr. Jacobs recited an instance of a.
wealthy manufacturer from Staunton,
Virginia. "I showed him a few pic
tures of Portland and Oregon In gen
eral," said Mr. Jacoba. "He waa so
impressed that after reaching homo ha
wrote to me at Kicnmona, asking Tor
further Information and followed this
up by coming 100 miles and spending
two days with me at my mothers homo
in Virginia As a result of this he haa
advertised his factory for aale and will -be
west in the near future. This Is .
only one Instance of the interest that
eastern ptple are taking in our great
northweat. -. , .-
"During my entire trip I did not
visit a city which lias one half of tha
natural advantages that Portland has. .
With the surrounding territory equal
to an empire, Portland should go for
ward until within a ccnfpsratlvely short
time it should be the home of at least -
eoo.ooo.
"There is one thing, however, that X
noticed and that Is that many of tha
eastern cities are improving and beau
tlfylng their surroundings so as to at-i
tract home seekers. In Kansas City, '
Mlaantlrl tha clfv haa an.. . ., 4lA- .
...... ... ., . . . v... . U . V V '
000,000 on their new boulevard- and park
system, and one can ride for hours -
through beautiful parks and over mag
nificent streets. The property owners
tuera tell me that tbousanda of peoplt
have removed to Kansaa City to eatab
llsh homes there rs a result of thla ex
penditure, and that the coat of the Im
provements is insignificant a com
pared with the increased values In prop
erty." ; i , !
Mr. Jacoba also statsd that real es- .
tate prices both for business locations
and residence property are much lower -in
Portland than In any eastern olty of
the aame relative sise that ba visited.
He oredicted that with tha Influx of
eastern homeseekers that Is sure to taka '
place in tne next two years, thla
condition will disappear and that Port
lard property will assume lta true
value.
BARBARIC EABRINGS
SOCIETY'S NEW PAD
Mother of Mrs. "Reggie" Vanderbflt
Seta a Startling Fashion Among v
the Smart Set, .
New York, March SO. Following the
lead of Mrs. Frederick Nellson, mother
cf Mrs. Reginald Vanderbllt, many
women are affecting the odd fashion of
pearl earrings of sharply contrasting
colors. The idea suggests the barbaric,
but that seems to be the effect sought,
by many women in their jewel decora
tions these days. ' "",
One of Mrs. Nellson's pearls is black,
the other white, and it Is the owner's
pleasure to change them from' aide to
side every time they are worn. A front
view with both pearls showing gives an
almost startling Impression. .
ir the erreet is not artistic, it is at
least unusual, and that is a quality dear
to the heftrt of womankind. . . ..,',
Mrs. Nicholas Lcnirworth also has a
novelty in the line of Jewels. j It is a
necklace nf small blue enamel, mosaics
and sapphires mounted in gold and held
by sold links. -.,
Another novel necklace Is belna worn
by Corinne Douglaa Robinson. Mrs.
Lor ir worth's cousin. It is made of
carved beads of gold, strung- closely to-
Ktftner, reuevea witn scattered opals
laid in gold. . t,. ,
