During the past week the changes In firaln valu, either cash or future del ivery, were few. Trade on the whole waa the emallest of the entire season and Indicated a congested condition imimt both buvera and sellers. There waa almost a general absence of business, although a few purchases of small volume were reported for the account of exporters to be usea in mi lnr in oaraoes alreadv soldr- Miliars mm to have withdrawn from . the market altogether. The reason for the Inactlrltv on their part ia evident There la practically no flour trade to foreign porta and local business Is not exaouy or tne moat promising. Ho anxious have become the millers to get rid of their export grades mat one of tha lararer Interior mills was frantically offering suDPlles on the ba sis of $$86 barrel. Portland, and even at this reduction rrom tne reguiariy published price card no acceptances are reported by tne orient, financial at fairs In Jaoan. acoordtnr to latest ca bles are steadily rrowlncr worse. With this prospect in view for tha immediate ruture, flour dealers on tne otner siae are abowlng no disposition whatever to take hold or added supplies, mey state that with rice values down fully 30 per cent, the latter product is so much cheaper than flour that it ia given the f .reference even by those who would Ike to purchaae the American product. There will be a most Important meet ing of tha grain Interests of the Port land board of trade Friday afternoon at S o'clock, when the Question of continu ing trading In future deliveries will be tamed over. wnue tne projeciin up nosed bv the laraer millers ar export ers here, the smaller buyers niv much In favor of It, as it allows every one to know tha exact price of wheat every day. Every grain market or conse quence in the whole country deala in futures, the larger the transactions In futures the more Important the grain center. Cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Duluth, Min neaDolls. Wlnnepes;. Liverpool. Paris Berlin, Budapest, London, San Fran rlsco, and in fact, every large center where grain futures have Been dealt in, will not for a moment consider their abandonment. . ' To the grain producer, the trading or ruture options means mucn. tia is almost compelled to sell his wheat as soon aa he has it harvested under the system where only spot stock is traded In, but where there is a market for fu ture deliveries, he can see for himself what ha will obtain by holding. The trading of future options means that he will know months ahead of time just what his wheat will be worth on a cer tain date. Portland board of trade prices for the week: CLUB WHEAT, Nov.

The coming crop In Oregon will not be wheat, nor hops, but walnuts. This much has been demonstrated of lata by various growers who have se cured more money from the arrowing of walnuts than could be secured by any other crqp at the same expense. Recent tests have shown that 3360 could be secured by the sola of one acre of walnuts. This is not merely sur mise, but actual facts, as can be fully verified by anyone investigating. While France la generally considered tha borne of the walnut, although the nuts have been called "English" for neatly years, it has been found that the trees produoe more and better nuts on the paclflo coast than any other sec tion. For rears.lt waa believed that no sec tion of the country could compare with California In the production of walnuts. and as a result the growers of that state have had practically a monopoly of the markets for many years. Even with the increasing acre ne there the price has been climbing higher and higher and j the demand Instead of diminishing, Is showing a gradual increase. For a number of years experiments In walnut growing have been made In Ore- fon but It was not until recent seasons hat the success of walnut growing on a commercial baals has bean assured. Samples of Oregon-grown walnuts sent to other markets have met with much favor. Not only does the walnut tree produce more heavily In this state than In California, but weight for weight the Oregon nut Is fully a fourth heavier than that grown In the south. Oregon-grown walnuta mature mucn better than do the nuts In California, because climatic conditions here are not so hot In summer and tha trees always have plenty of moisture to Insure a steady growth. Inside the Oregon grown walnut all Is meat: good, white, sweet and oily meat. Being allowed to- mature as nature would dictate the Oregon walnut Is full and very seldom shows a shriveled condition. The photo printed herewith Is from a lot of walnuts grown near North Yam hill. Aa will be noted the nuts are very large and measure about two lnchea In length. CHICAOO WHEAT . Onen. fMone.

Please. By Thomas C. ShotwelV fHaant Swm hr Tsmrtmt Laid w!ra.F New Yark. Oct 24. Owing to the automobile race, which drew most of tha brokers away from Wall street, and the political uncertainty, the stock mar ket was dull todav and no material changes In Drlces were recorded. South ern Pacific was the only stock to show any vitality and It scored a material gain aa a result or the day s operations. 1 drive was made on American ice took that broke it more than two points but it recovered most of this. In he general 11st price movements were .unless ana mean absolutely notning. On the '-curb market activity was re- trlcted to the Cobalt stocks. Cotton was lower and wheat waa not material ly changed. London was very dull also. Now that the elections are almost out of the way, railroad men are organis ing for a vigorous campaign to rorce an advance of freight rates. The argu ments Is that unless this is done wages will have to be reduced. It Is said they stand already to discharge thou sands of employes to make a bad con dition worse if the public refuses to countenance their extravagant demand for higher rates. Responsible railroad managers are actlilg lixe a lot of cry babies. They are ihetendlng that they have been abused more than any other class of business men when they know perfectly well- that their claim Is ab surd. The railroads are not doing as much business as in the past but that Is not because they have been abused but because there has been a panic.

The arrivals of local ranch stock were the smallest of the season and this forced the price to 40o a dozen, the highest figure obtainable in this market for hnnt 10 veers. Instead of showing an inerease, the supplies of cream that reached Portland during the paat week were the smallest for nearly two months. The butter mar ket was firmer aa a result of the scant supplies and prices held closer to last week's top rigure. While the cheese market Is still mixed as to values, the tone la firmer and prices are generally He a pound higher. During the paat 10 days there has been quite a good demand from California and a sprinkling of orders from the northern cities and this cleaned up stocks quite weU. Chickens came more freely during the past weak but the muoh heavier demand made It appear as If the arrivals were very scant. During the week there was a, snarp advance in prices on this ac count. - The receipts of produce at Portland for the paat week compared with pre vious weeks aa complied by the Port land board of trade ahow: wream. nutter, f.rra. jnicica. granulated. 86.86; barrels. boxes, k so ad.

SEXTDIENT CHANGES FOR THE BETTER IN STOCK MARKET (United Prees Leased Wlr. New York, Oct 24. A perceptible change for the better, sentiment, at least, was the principal features of the stock exchange dealings this week. While no very notable Increase occured in transactions and while . interest was restricted to the various elements in the market which make Wall- street operations a regular business, it is nevertheless true that the week a move ment has given another proof of . the strength of the current financial 1 po sition. Offers to force crices down have met with little success while ef fects .to put prices up hava at times made considerable headway. Of the outside causes-assisting the upward tendency the clearing up of the foreign political situation, continued reports of trade improvement at home, the reaction In exchange rates away from the gold shipping point and the activity of the Investment bond mar ket have In one degree or another played a rart. If the average person In the field were asked what has hap pened in the last fortnight to effect this Increased confidence, he would find It dlffloult to answer along with the fact of definitely improving trade aa an Influence making for the stability of tha financial position is the complete Amal.

Liverpool Wheat Market, Liverpool. Oct 24. Wheat close: December, 7s 7d; May, 7s6id. By Hyman K-v Cohen. Portland Union Stockyards. Oct 24 The past week will very likely pass nin llvcHtncic h storv as one or tha most nr1pf.dARtritptlve neriotis for this time of the year in the history of tne indus try . With tha olnslno- of the weeK SIX days of dlHastar to values a ray of hope appears on tho horleon and pros pects bid fair to be brighter than be fore tne ciouas sunn so low. With the decline of best hogs to $6 the hog market received a very serious blow the past week but the forcing of best steers down to 18.76 was, if any thing, even a more bitter pill for the livestock raisers to swallow. It was the cattle market that sur prised the trade when it showed such a weak front. Little wonder, however, for this display of weakness when the causa Is known. While the arrivals of cattle In tho yards the past week were somewhat Ions than the previous six davs. tha total arrivals Backers' Dur- cheses at interior points included were considerably greater than during any re cent week. The big run of poor cattle Is about over for the season. The mar ket was simply loaded with undesir able quality for weeks at a time. This class or stock was rorcea upqn tne mar ket because of the high price of hay end feed and the very scant range due to the excessive dry spell. With hay values entirely out of line with livestock val ues, feeders did not care to carry over any more stock through tho winter than compelled to. It was the gettlna- rid of this surplus supply for whioh feeders had no feed, that caused the blocked condition of the market for several weeks Dast and finally rorcea cattle val ues rar below what the trade oeuevea they would reach. Hogs to Follow the East In the serious decline which continued through this week and started during the previous week, the local hog mar ket is slmDltf following; the sharp de clines that took place in eastern values a short time ago. While the hog mar ket was not firm after It dropped to 36 during the latter part of the week, val ues were somewnat more steaay man formerly and with a slowing; up In the arrivals, a betterment in tne tone win probably occur. In the east values show an Inclination to steady somewhat and if the improvement here remains for any great length of time Its Influence will be for the good of Pacific coast prices. Ai in the cattle market, there should be an Improved tone In the sheep market locally In the near future. While the arrivals in the local yards were smaller than last week, backers brouimt in a considerable number from the range on their own hook.

Thousands and thousands of dollars the eum is staggering; but the exact figures hare not yet been compiled, are sent east to pay for eggs every year by the cltlsens of Portland alone and It Is estimated that fully a million dollars go away from here and other coast cities lor this purpose annually. Not only could every dollar of this sum bo saved to the people of this sec tion, but egge could actually be shipped to other centers from here at a good profit providing, of course, we get farmers to raise the ergs. It baa ben proved time and time again, not oaly by agricultural college experts, who, of coarse work under the best of conditions, but by practical fanner who are making money on their ewa hook. With climatlo conditions that would tneurw paying result from ts producing or egge. supplies could bo tuned out her at a minimum of expense. Of oura every Tom. Dick sad Harry cannot euocesifaUy run a poultry and egg business any more thaa they rouid run any other line of trade without experience. But however. It has b a demonstrated beyond a reason able doubt that eggs ere produced here cheaper thaa My other place la the country. Bead ss for roaltrr. Too. If tbe rural population of Oregon illsod what profits there wre ia ti-e ewnnere'al production of poultry. It of Portland and other Paclflo coaet cities to bring In carload after carload of eastern dressed stock. While there was a complete slut in the local chicken market a week or so ago, this waa not due to any over-supply of poultry In the country, but to the fact that coun try shippers began to ship all at once and for awhile the market was over stocked. -Already the surplus has boon worked off and prices have begun to rise In consequence. It Is safe to say, therefor, that in tbe near future fol- iowlnx the usual mode there will be a treat shnrtare In poultry supplies here and after pricea have advanced. to tip top figures that make the consumer rut poultry off the menu, tha wholesale trade will again be forced td bring carloads of chickens from the east in or der to supply the demand.

Seventeen salmon hatcheries have been operated In this state this year and will turn out It, Is now hoped, nearly 80,000,000 young' fry, according- to Bt&te jnsh commis sioner John S. Rlseland, who is her for a conference with Governor Head. The hatcheries include three - new ones placed in operation this year, and. In addition to them the state fa operat ing two trout hatcheries. Spawn taking on the Columbia river Is practically over but Is only well under way at the Puget sound hatch eries. The streams tributary to the sound have been too low to permit the fish to iret to the spawning grounds as early in the year aa usual! The rains have now remedied this difficulty and If high water does not prevail the con templated output win oe realized. - The average output of the ealmom hatcheries has been about 60.000.000 annually, but has run as high aa SO,- 000,000. , Mr. Rlseland reports the sockey sal mon pack almost double what was an tlcipated early In th year and at tributes tha unexpected runs to th salmon hatcheries and to tho erection of fish wings In a dam on the Fraser four years ago which permit the sock-f eyes to reach th upper spawning grounds. The -pack of fall salmon will not -be so large as usual because of an unsatisfactory market for the cheaper grade or canned salmon. Figures on the pack will not be com piled by the fish commissioner until the packers have prepared their own figures. Quincy S Franklyn Greene Olroux . . Mass. . . Shannon 6"l8uD.
