Continued lack of business In the

In tha air and scarcely know what to
think of tha situation. Moat of them,
however, have practically abandoned the
orient aa a field for heavy flour sates
ana are beginning to turn tneir atten
tion to Europe in, the hope of Belling
their surplus. - M
Editor Xeo Peterson of the Portland
Commercial Review givee the following
explanation of the present aituatlon In
flour:
"Business contlnuea vary unsatlsfao

of the queatlon. Prices are way out of
line, and unless aomething unfnraeen
happens mlllera do not expect to do
very much export business on tbe old
rop. MIIIb are going about half time
on scattering orders from established
trade. With poaalbly two or three ex

tlrat of the year trade has dragged
long with no life. Bu far as the coun

trade is about aa dead aa possible. Buy

'unwilling to make reasonable bids;

influenced to a great extent by the de

Potato Shipments Heavy.
Heavy shipments are ehown tn th
potato market. Practically all the stuff
la going to Arlsona and southern Cali

and Washington an increasing amount
of business is shown from Missouri

While tha onions which arrived from
Texas a few 4ays ago were of fine
quality and will probably turn out to

latter are selling at lower prices to

But little mohatr or wool Is moving
In this market at tne present time.
Buyers are not disposed to bid up on
their prices and producers are pot over
anxious to sell because they believe
the can force the values nigner. as
regard the buying demand, the same
conJltlons exist in the east and in the
territories this year's wool clip was

A far as mohair is concerned, most
of the producers are members of the

though the trade In general expeots a
inmnwhat easier feeline to prevail after
K aster, This will depend altogether
upon the arrivals ana tne extent or tne
fnr&e- demand. But a small amount
of eggs have been put away . here for
winter's uso to date. ....
Chickens are cleaned up despite the

Asparagus is very dull again with re

men he will go to Italy, and thence
probably to Corfu for personal inter
views with Chancellor von Buelow and
tbe kaiser.
His proposed free-trade arrangement,
he says, will not only be of Infinite Im
portance to European trade develop
ment, but will make the old world a
vastly mora formidable competitor than
at present of American tnduatrlea.
His peace plans contemplate the re
duction of armamenta to a minimum
with assurance, be points out. of $260,
000,000 annually on navies alone.

HP HE man 6t woman who
- " haa a disposition to in
vest but cannot afford to
risk either the amount of the
investment or the income there
from; who has not expert
knowledge of the character of
the different opportunities that
are to numerous; who invest
principally for the purpose of
keeping their' money safe and
earning something ; - that man
or woman needs only a Jevel
nead and a little common
sense. Conditions . are such.
right now' that , a . gilt-edged
bond investment is especially
attractive. Bonds yield all the
way from per cent to py
per cent. The amount of in
terest earned, however, should
be secondary to the safety of
the proposition. Then, again,
tne price ot trie bond is A mat
ter of consideration. ' Most
bonds that pay a high rate of
interest are too high. priced to
be interesting. To invest in
OCEAN SHORE BONDS is
to be on the safe side in every
paracuiar. iney earn above
the average, 5 per cent on par
value, 0.21 per cent on the easy-
payment price, $98, and 6
per cent on the cash price, $92.
rhe total issue is $3,000,000.
This issue is secured by over
$5,000,000 of sound assets.
Hence, your money, invested
in OCEAN SHORE BONDS,
is safe, profitable, and ' the
amount invested may be all the
way from $92 to several thou
sand. It is also worth remem
bering that OCEAN SHORE
BONDS, now obtainable for
(92 and $96, will command
$115 to $120 as soon as the
balance of the road is com
pleted. Thus, you not ' only
secure semi - annual interest
payments, but may at any time
convert the bonds into cash at
handsome profit over , and
above what they cost. ' If you
would like to purchase one or
more of these bonds for cash
or upon easy payments, call at
our office at any time.
