Mixed Ton In Pot. toes.
With Uib latest Kovernment report
Indicating- the smallest average potato
crop In 10 years, there Is a inlied con
dition In the local market. California
is the only state to show- as good ft
crop as a year ago and better than any
of the crops during the past 10 years.
Ueeause. of the abnormal rainfall thre
the past season the production Is good
but the Jack of sufficient moisture Is
bringing- down the Oregon, Idaho an l
Washington productions from previous
seasons In recent years. The greatest
decrease In the crop Is noted In Wash
ington, which, according to the gov
ernment figures, will produce but S'l
per cent of the normal or 11 per cent
le.MS than a year at;" anil the small
amount less the annual output for the
pat 10 years. Whilo the Oregon pro
duction is four per cent smaller than
the previous season It 1h but two per
cent smaller than the average for 10
years. Idaho shows a loss of five per
cent from a year ago and seven por
cent for 10 years average production.
Seal Decrease X Greater.
While the figures given by the gov
ernment are not really alarming and
will likely show tho real condition
taken as a whole, the report Is not a
proper one to figure upon for It makes
no allowances whatever for the abnor
mal production of small sizes which are
not of proper duality to go upon tho
market. The greatest decrease In pro
duction Is therefore in the larger sized
potatoes the select stock -for which
Oregon is noted.
On this account there Is a very bad
ly mixed condition regarding potato
prices. While buyers are very eagerly
offering us high as $1.10 per 100
pounds Portland for the fancy stock
stock that can be shipped to the north
there Is too great a supply of or
dinary small stuff offering and for
this class of potatoes tho market Is
rather weary with irice dragging some
what. .Sales by producers of the or
dinary .stock recently have been made
down to 70c per 100 pounds;- few de;ils
for this chits of goods being made
over 80c. Along- tho street the trade Is
selling ordinary potatoes today aroiind
$1 per 100 pounds or JOc under tho
price they are quite wUiing to pay for
select quality for shipping.
Onion Market X Firmer.
There Is a firmer tone In the local
anion market because of the' small sup
plies offered. Another car camo in
trorn Wnlla Walla but it was purchased
before the recent rise there and con
sequently prices are unchanged along
the street. Only a nominal amount
of local onions has arrived thus far
and therefore cut but little considera
tion in price making.
As far as the onion crop Is con
cerned, reports now Indicate that It
will he little changed here from that
of a year ago. The government figures
give tho following condition for the
first of the month compared with a
year ago:
1908.
Idaho 97
Washington 90
Oregon 90
California 92
Tlve increase In the California
duction of onions Is due to the
that lands located alon the rlvero
which had been used for years for
potatoes but which bad become unfit
for that purpose by floods. Is now be
ing utilized for onions and reports
from there Indicate a good growth.
Oregon's acreage Is slightly decrease-1
because of the running of a railroad
through various patches.
Brief Not of the Trad.
Syrups are shewing an advance of
lc a gallon.
Four cars of watermelons came In
from California today. Kalny weather
would stop sale.
California cantaloupes are losing the
local market because of better Orenm
quality. "

flffd tradf expects slower sales and per

sales along the street at 25c. Quality
Improving somewhat too.

Portland Union Stockyard, Aug. 21.
There is a firmer tone In the demand
for selected steers. Arrivals of this
character are very scant in thu yards at
this time and the demand Is so good
that killer are quite willing to pay
$4.25 straight for best stuff. Even tho
ordinary line la In better call with some
stiffening of values.
nogs are quoted very firm with a
scant run during- the past 48 hours.
Top stuff Is still bringing $7 to
and It Is believed this Is as close to the
toj) as the market will reach. Ship
ment of hogs from the eust are about
to be resumed and this will force thu
local market on a basis of eastern hogs
delivered here.
Sheep market remains In a good con
dition with a general lack of best
wethers. These are In ltbersj demand
with top price easily obtained for all
that comes. Most of the arrivals arj
of m,lxi-d variety.
Market for calves Is slightly weak -j
with quite liberal arrivals of late. Dur
ing the past 4s hours 143 head ar
rived. The price Is about 26c lower
for the day.

New York, Aug. 24. The tock mar
ket was weak in eome of the leading
Issues at the start, but the latter trad
ing was mostly of a bullish nature.
KuhIiicsh during the session waa of
small volume, a startling contrast belu
shown from tho record of taaturou
when over 1.000,000 shares were sold
the Hhort session.
London was generally weak for
American shares, but the Harrlman
luHui-s were held htemlv with an ad
vaii.ro theie of 4, in Southern Pacific
and a J'ractlon In Union Pacific. Steel
shares were mixed abroad with the com
mon 'g lower and i the preferred 4
higher.
There Is some talk to the effect that
the board of governors of the Btock ex-
hange Intend to Investigate the truns
a. (Jons of Saturday, so unusual wai
the business during the short session.
Some $36,000,000 will be the Septem
ber dividend and Interest disbursements
nad a large per cent of the huge amount
will likely find its way back to the
stock market. This Is one of the causes
for the bettering of the tone a$ter the
Initial dip today.

Liverpool was k to d lower at the
opening and closed at almost the same !
figures. Kansas City cash wheat was

always preached
but the whole world does.
The soundest, safest, surest
speculation is :
I.Uiy 100 shares of something selling at $2
per share to make 100 points profit instead of
buying 100 shares of anything at $100 per
share to make 2 points profit. Your liabil
ity on $100 per share' is $10,000; at $2 per share
it is onlv $200. The greatest fortunes in the
world have ALL been laid on this fouildation.
.My own fortune and financial success was
laid in buying llutte & Boston at the present
price of "National Stock." Standard Oil, Rog
ers and Rockefeller, who were my partners in
the deal, and every broker in Boston and New
York, will vouch for this fact. They will
vouch, too, for the fact that 1 advertised as I
am now advertising "National Stock" that all
who would buy at $2 per share would be able
to sell at $100 per share, and also for the fact
that inside of two years from the time I ad- (
vertised they could all have sold at $130 per
share, and notwithstanding the recent panics
and what-nots each $2 invested in Butte &
Boston upon my pledge for its future is worth
in the open market today $80.
I trust that people everywhefeVstvill buy
"National Stock" to the extent of every dollar
then- can spare and not be frightened off by,
the System's ntachinations ; for the System,
panic-stricken at the enormous success of "Na
tional Stock," as evidenced by the trading each
day in the open markets of Boston and New
York, from 500,000 to 800,000 shares, is get
ting out its broom to sweep back the deluge.
It has sent instructions to its press agents and
brokers everywhere : "Spread this story: 'Na
tional Stock' is a blind discretionary pool; has
never been traded in on Stock Exchanges, is
not traded in on any open market. Is sold pri
vately by Lawson for his personal profit."
To spike this mud gun of the System I
herewith, as president of "National Stock,"
legally bind it to pay to anyone w'ho can prove
there is any truth in any of-the above state
ments the sum of $50,000.
Yesterday was the heaviest day for orders,
pamphlets and inquiries since the campaign
began.
Tomorrow the first pamphlets will be
mailed. On. receipt of pamphlets the real buy
ing of "National Stock" will begin, and in an
ticipation of the tremendous demand I again
ask that everyone limit their orders to $3 per
share (Boston) or $6 (New Yrork) and to hold
orders at this figuie until I advise in public
advertisements to increase the limit.
