Those dealers who cleaned up their arrivals of poultry at HHc lata yester- - dav afternoon.' consider themselves quite lucky for few of the dealers were willing to allow that price. Borne stocks offered alterwards could -not be moved above lie, and even at this price but one concern was buying the Swift fhterest : The larger local buyers of poultry were not in the market at all during; the past 4 hours, or In fact since the present week started, v Most of them say thev would not care to buy before the end of the week in the hope Of forcing a HMUMiin prices. n um th were successful . to some extent. but the ones who were bearing the iai- ket may not be, a we to participate in ' the lower market. Weakening Tons la Xgg. The ton of the local egg market continues -to weaken, and nothing over 17c is being asked ror Dear rancn siock at this time. Some dealers say sup plies are rather timid about moving at this figure. The future of the market therefore depends upon tne arrivals, with the trade bearish inclined.

Wlth Increasing ' arrivals Trom . the south, and consequently more competi tion for the trade, the local market for sweet . potatoes is snowing a. ratner sharp - decline. ' While the outward movement of sweets has been quite good, the Inward movement has been very heavy during the past few days ' and prices have . suffered accordingly. . Today sales of sweets are being made along Front street at $1.76 1.80 per hundred pounds, witn .most 01 tne eaies at the lower figure. With unusually excellent quality there has been a great.

While a few purchases of potatoes are reDorted at country shiPDlna- points. the general tone ; of the local potato market is aulet With growers not willing to sell to any extent Just now there Is little chance for much ac tivity in the local, market In the near future. Just at present California is shipping large quantities 01 river , po-i tatoes to Puget sound points .and some of the California people threaten to in vade this - market with heavy supplies unless growers orrer more ireeiy. game Condition In Onions. ' A condition similar to that ruling In potatoes is shown in onions. There is absolutely no demand for our stock In the southern markets because onions are selling there are less than half of the price growers here are holding for. However, there remains a scarcity of local offerings, and any sort of onion Is today being Jobbed along Front street , at $1.25 . per hundred pounds. Some California onions are again being Offered here.- . Wild Cress Come- Too Freely. Wild awes -supplies from California are glutting tne local market, and nrlcoa tndav received a sharb shock.

Already several ofx the schools are holdlns trvouts for their teams and before Christmas the first preliminary debatea to choose the district cham pions will have begun.

ERRYBuA BIG INCREASE 10 TiD sales.; Beport of State Land Board Shows That 243,216 Acres Have Been Sold During the Past Two Years School Fund. (Special Dispatch to. The Journal.) Salem, Or., Nov. S.Heavy increases in the sales of state lands during th past two years are taken a Indications of the confidence In the future value of the land. Since 1906 th sales have aggregated 243,21 acres as compared with 47,037 acres for , th preceding two years. Much of : the land ; sold brought a considerably higher price than was paid for land sold In the last bien nial period. There is not a corresponding Increase In cash receipts, however. This is due to 'the fact that sales are made on the Installment plan and the money received during the past two years was to a large extent payments on sales made In pre vious years. The Increased payments will be shown in Subsequent reports. As it is, the receipts were $823,020, as compared with $388,098 during the years 1U05 and 1906. The sales and receipts for the last two years are shown by th biennial report of th state land board, which was completed yesterday by Clerk O. O. Brown. Because of the lew rate of interest charged by the state there has been a demand for loans from the school 'fund and the amount of loans 'has Increased In proportion to the increased amount of tne rund. The loans during the past two years amounted to $2,041,6(0, a compared with $1,688,230 during the preceding two -years. At the date of the report, October 1,. there was but $11,484.88 in cash In the treasury cred ited) to the common school fund, all the rest, amounting to $4,206,713.42. be ing out at interest. In addition to this there is due the stat school fund front the American Bqndlng company $288, 426.87 on account of the failure of th Title Guarantee & Trust company bank. It will thus be seen that the common school fund amounts to about $4,600,000. There are also outstanding certifi cates of sale upon which there is due $676,264.77, drawing interest at 6 per cent, making the total of Interest-drawing funds to th credit of the common school fund over $5,100,000. During' th two years the board can celled 1&8 certificates of sales covering 116,4(8 acres upon which repayments were made to th amount of $116,133.70, but a large part of this land was -resold at double the price at which the first sale was made. In the case of 86,862 acres of this total, the land had origin ally been sold at $1.26 an sere but the sales were cancelled for fraud. The land will now bring not less than $8.-76 an acre. The board suggests no changes in th state land laws, but says that the act of 1907 is very comprehensive and sat isfactory. 10 HIS VICTIM Alleged Bunco Man Squares Case Under Xoses of Po lice Detectives. (From Yesterday's Last Edition.) Taking advantage of -the temporary absence of the detectives and the dep uty district attorney from the room, G. MacLeod returned to H. Olson, who lives on Mississippi avenue, - $3.90. the sum MacLeod had obtained from Olson for a worthless lot near Spokane.' Olson, by the time ' the officers re entered th room, had decided that he could not swear to a complaint agalnt MacLeod. The transaction took place In the district .attorney's office yes terday afternoon, At o'clock Mac Leod was locked up In the city JalL, charged with vagrancy. According to the police. MacLeod has been doing a land office business in the! sale of lots in a "wildcat" addition near tspokane. He presented the card 4t th Northwestern . Land & Townslte Co., 817H Bpragu avenue. Spokane. ;nnd earnestly assured prospective Investors that he eould give them the finest real estate speculation ever offerd. AH he wanted was $3.90, and because, the sum was so small the number of buyers was correspondingly large. Although Olson cannot now swesr to the complaint which would have been lodged against MacLeod, it is under stood that before the day is over an other man who considers himself swin dled will sign the complaint and Mac- lnoi aeaiings in airt win com to an end. MacLeod was arrested In Lower Al blna yesterday afternoon. Detective Coleman, Tennant, Hellyer and Moloney have been working on the case and hav ing found MacLeod they escorted him to the office of District Attorney Cam eron, In the Chamber of Commerce building." Olson wa taken along to stgn the Complaint . Inadvertently MacLeod was given cnance ro uik 10 uison He offered to return the sum Olson had paid him and Ms oner was accepted. The transac tion was over in a minute and MacLeod could then meet the returning officers with a smile. The detectives say that not only is the land which MacLeod has been selling so cheaply entirelv worth less, but that he -cannot give a clear title. v , . MacLeod' was evidently planning to make his stay in Portland brief, but profitable, for he told his customers that they would not receive deeds for 30 days. That interval apparently was relied upon to give him a chance to leave the city and let his customers mourn. ,v CHINESE PHEASANTS, DIE ON J0UIIXEY Two Chinese pheasants from Oregon Intended for the Washington park soo In Milwaukee, where it-was hoped that they would thrive and raise a little pheasant family, will never reach their destination. The birds died several days sgo In Chicago, while on their way east rom. Portland. The birds were shipped by Eugen Toessner f : Portland, to- Mayor Rose of Milwaukee. Tb shipment was mad by express. On. the box were full di rections as -to feeding and watering tb pair regularly" In -transit. - Just what caused their death Is not known.
