Eugene, Or, Nov. 21. Turkeys In
Lane county are reported scarce this

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

other outside points. Reports from

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.

to undersell Colorado, with her lower

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

they were glad to have the opportunity

many of the active Btocks showed by

the weak or over-extended holdings

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

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.
Biuooers or goats aia not una mucn
enoourasnment in this market durlna
the week, for not only is 1 the demand
small for the long-bearded - ones - but
me price is tow. -
