Cohan. f i Everyone Is Having for opinions re Wding the price of turkeys for Thanksgiving In the Portland market the few that are giving the sure .jtlps are merely expressing their own (opinions, for never was the situation nore thoroughly mixed than at this f !?n the main the opinion Is that turkeys will sell around present prices Itfor the Thanksgiving trade but whether 5 hey do or not depends absolutely upon he arrivals. . The demand Is here for to larger number of turkeys than a year wigo and If the arrivals ape no greater ihan then the prices will do better. Thi. mnvh la a certain tv.

"r Eggs are higher because of the 'greater demand for the holiday trade. Arrivals of local ranch eggs are scarce in comparison with the increased call ind prices are therefore more easily maintained than wotherwise. Had the local market not been full of eastern eggs of various qualities a much higher price would be obtainable for the home product. " " :' . ' : EUGENE SHIPMENTS OF TURKEYS ARE SMALLER THAN USUAL (Special Dispatch te Tfce 3enL) Eugene, Or, Nov. 21. Turkeys In Lane county are reported scarce this fall. Local dealers who have been try In to contract for their usual Thanka- f-ivtng supplies report that they, are hav ng a hard time to ilnd enough to sup ply the trade and they are In aequan dry over the matter. They say If farm ers do not show up with the birds any better the coming week than they have duntng the past week many Eugene peo ple will have to eat geese or ducks in stead of turkey on Thanksgiving day. The local scarcity of turkeys may be caused by the fact that those who raise them for the markets are saving all they have for shipment to Portland and other outside points. Reports from Goehen, near which place they are raised In large numbers - and - - thousands are ? hipped irora max station every laid ndlcate that the season was bad f6' the young birds for some reason or an other and the shipments will not be up -jto the average. highest price recently paid. These were for English account and had this pur chase been in any other season It would have caused an advance of fully 2o a pound In the price besides causing the growers to hold for still higher prices. The ease in which dealers can rill all the orders received does not 'look well for the strength of the market.

'GREAT WEAKNESS IN POTATOES WAS i TO BE EXPECTED 'In t Yast tiuye The great weakness which sppeared the local potato market during the t week and which caused former vers to unload as much of their sud- rlies as they could, even at a loss of 0 to If cents, was rather expected In view of the weakened state of the mar kets both north and south of Portland. -At this time California is making every Tffort to unload her surplus with tho 4east possible delay and recently began to undersell Colorado, with her lower "freight rate.

This is tn IIV ther nr.r. Y.lAm -A buying orders at that in the hands Of the many broker. That was taken uy me iraae as notice served upon that body that big holders of the grain were still sanguine that their views of the future price probabilities had not changed over night. There was nothing altered In ihe general sur roundings to cause change In previously formed opinion. Liverpool futures were from d to d higher. Berlin was unchanged, Budapest lc ud and Antwerp c a bushel lower. There were re nor lea Dias at Luluth from the other side for durum wheat at work able prices had the wheat been procur able, but buyers were unable to find sellers. There was some easiness to ward the end, owing to scalping pur chases made earlier being for sale to ciean up over eunday. Action of the corn market was sug' restive of a short interest in Decern. ber that was getting somewhat nervous on account of what continued to be heard from the country of dlaaDDolnt- ing husking, returns and smallness of onerings irom i armors, receivers re ported heavier acceptances of their bids to tne country. Liverpool reported fu tures from unchanged to lower. At the close December corn was exactly the same as it was yesterday. May ana jmy were eacn tower. In oats there was no novel feature and little change in values. Trade was of the merest scalping kind. The market near the close was easier In sympathy with other grains. Offerings on the sample market were well taken at the previous day's prices. Trade in hog products was of very moderate dimensions. The market was firm and in some cases slightly higher.

Wheat -Close: ' December. 7a llfcd; JUUmh. r.m MS- May, Ts 8d. . T. . " By Thomas C. BhotwslL (Beint News by Longest Leased Wire.) New Tork, Nov. 21. Professional trad. ers have been busy the entire week trying to acare the public away from the stock market Some timid persons have been frightened Into taking prof Its, but the greay- body of public In vestors remains unmoved. Profession als have sold themselves and the short Interest outstanding in popular Issues Is extremely large. The technical condi tion of the market is good and a fur ther advance can now be forced with relative ease. But the nubile must not forget for one minute mat stocss are very nig" and that the rold standard has been abolished by the Aldrich law. Stocks are not advancing on earnings or on business, but because of world wide In flation. Not only has United States money been debased in value, but the fold mines of the world are producing he yellow metal at an unprecedented rate and there Is no Inflation so dan- frerous as that based upon an Increase n basts money. The professionals can no more stop tne present nun campaign than they can keep the tide from rising in the ocean. The swing is under way and a few days of Irregularity, such as the last week has witnessed only strengthen the situation. Tennessee Copper was used to raid the stock market today. The street was full of rumors that a member of the pool had started to unload on his fel lows and that the pool manager dis covering It, had cut the ground " from under his feet. The Insider suspected is an officer of a New York trust com pany. Transactions In the stock were of a sensational nature, the price break ing from 62 to 43. So nervous was the market as a re sult of the week of hammering by pro fessionals In the Tennessee Copper in- i-iueni jnuuencea xne entire nst, union racinc and Southern Pacific had start ed stronar. turned wens and cloned hn, lng net losses with final prices the low est of the session. There" was no news of Importance on any stock. An alleged Interview with Harrlman was in circu lation, but it was being circulated by a iiuusb mat is Known to oe accumulat ing Erie and Southern Pacific. It is rumored that the chief leaders of Wall street have agreed to hold a conference next ween. xney realize that it will be suicidal to -let the decline continue and the only question at Issue now la as io wnm snares wm De made strongest MANIPULATION IAS TAKEN PLACE OF GENUINE BUYING good many stocks on the rise which they were glad to have the opportunity of buying back cheaper. With the five point decline from top figures, which many of the active Btocks showed by Friday noon, the requirements of the technical situation appeared to have been satisfied. A good many stop or ders have been caught an the break and the weak or over-extended holdings which they represented, had accordingly been eliminated. Investment capital has taken the greater part of what the Wall street insiders have had for sale and these stocks have been paid for and taken away for permanent holdings. Commis sion houses whose business reflects most faithfully the operations of the outside public, report that while their loans have expanded the expansion is nothing by comparison with former bull markets. All this indicates that, de- Bpiie tne great advance which has takes filace since the early summer, the ex sting conditions of things Is still very sound. Conservative people would like to see this week's reaction followed by an Interval of quiet With narrow fluc tuations. But they are ready to admit that even if the buying movement breaks out again Immediately It has pienty or room to oeiore the aanger stage is reached. Foreign selling of our securltiea has been an Influence weighing heavily against the market all through the week. In the main and this liquidation has roflected the impression prevailing abroad even more strongly that it has nere tnat our rise in prices during the pas i ionnigni pas oeen excessive.

Portland Union Stockyards, Nov. 21. A change of sentiment as complete as the change In weather was shown in. the local livestock situation during the latter part of the week. Tha im provement was expected but has been so long deferred that some believed that the market would continue In its old rut for several more weeks.. One of the special features of in terest to the livestock trade during the week waa the call by killers, during the last -few days, for ordinary stuff while heretofore the demand has been persistent for nothing - but the better quality. rm stsers are Boaroe. Fat steers were harder to ret than aver during the past week. The high price of feed which la constantly climbing higher does not allow of profitable feeding around these values and for that reason, lf for no other, feeders are wintering as small a num ber of .cattle as possible. With the SDtoroach of the Thanks giving season, there is always a pre mium placed upon a select quality and some arrivals of this character are ex-1 pected for the market Monday morning. I Hogs remained quite rirm an week with the price generally about 10c higher than during tha previous six daya improvement in Baeep. In the local sheen market a higher ran re nf values ruled durinar the week. The arrivals continue small with the demand Increasing especially for the better class of stocks. Sheepmen as a rule ara anticipating a spirited im Drovement in the demand and price and are therefore holding back supplies as mucn as possible.
