Newspaper Page Text( THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28. ; 1908. 10 BOOKKEEPER III AIHIS BLOW AT ASPHALT TRUST Citizen Sues to Enjoin Con tract for v Cleveland -Street Pavement. THE WORLD'S MARKET JAIL FOR THEFT W. B. Glenn Charged With TURKEYS GOING TO Hit HORTH Alaska Shipments Being Made and This May Clean Up the Local Supply. PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKETS. Taking turkeys to Alaska. Pressed meats hold firm. Chicken market nominal. Verv firm egg tone. Market full of celery. Hop sales at former prices. Butter is firm; prices mixed. Tatar Turkey to Alaska. There has been qu'te a radical change In the turkey situation here during the past 24 hours. While storage houses re still quite liberally supplied with birds that remained unsold after Thanksgiving the supplies are not de- :' pressing as they were yesterday. W hlle there is as yet practically no demand ' from the city trad for turkeys, outside markets are buying. One Front street handler sold quite a bunch of turkeys to the north during the past 24 hours round 20c for poor quality, while a large retailer cleaned up the bulk of his r storage birds to a northern bouse for Alaska shipment at close to the top . figures of the week. This nothern buy ' Ing puts an entirely new phase upon the turkey situation. While the situation In the turkey market at this time is far ' from being pleasing to handlers, it might be considerably worse. One fea ture of the market at this time Is that there Is scarcely a first class turkey fov sale In the Portland market at this time. There are many "culls" in the ice nouses nearly six tons, or 12.000 pounds, going in Thursday night and Friday morning. Of this amount one ton has already been moved out and from present Indications the situation will be considerably improved in the ' near future. Ho Marset for Chickens. A remarkable feature of the present poultry market Is the fact that there is : practically no, demand at all for chick ens. While the receipts of chickens are quite liberal thev are not near so heavy as usually shown at this period of the year. The demand seems to have topped off altogether. Heidirur Err ry 7im. Eggs are being held firmer in the Front street markets today, but so far as known nothing over 40c is obtainable for supplies unless perhaps for stamped stock from nearby r'aces. Arrivals of local eggs are smaller and this has been a stimulant of much importance to the entire egg market here. Eastern eggs are advancing and the market is firmer at the higher prices. jrew Mackerel I Arriving. New catch mackerel is arriving in this market from Norway. Prices on Im ported fish are about 20 per cent lower than a year ago. American fish are about 10 per cent lower. Most of the cntc.h of mackerel In Norway waters this season consisted of email sizes with no bloaters noted. On the other hand the catch In the American Atlantic was principally large fish. Market Full of Celery. The localmarket Is 'full of celery at this time. Local supplies are arriving quite freely and still another car of California stock was unloaded this morning. The latter, however, was of quite good quality and sells at S4.25 . 4.60 a crate. Orange market Is Bteady here at un changed prices, supplies selling at 13.00 6 3.25 a box. There Is little demand for horseradish at this time and quality Is poor because Of long keeping. Sales of hops are again reported in the country around ' 8c a pound, the latter for gfood quality. There Is a scarcity of choice goods and this quality Is likely firm at 8r. although none of the dealers are orrerlng over 8c at tne moment. There Is no change in the for eign situation, brewers generally show ing a disposition to take their contracts without making additional purchases. Brief Hotes of rront street Trad. Cranberries are in liberal supply. Prices same. Banana offerings are still scant. Nut market is quite Blow here and in the south. Dressed ment market is firm at un changed values. Front street sells at the following prices. Those paid shippers are less regular commissions: Batter, Tggu ana Jfoultry. BUTTER Extra creamery, 37c; fancy 23V4fa35c; store, 20c.

The livestock market showed nominal arrivals for the past 24 hours, receipts Including but 130 hogs and 20 cattle. No sheep came. The outlook for the hog market is rather mixed. Oood stuff is scarce and if It came would probably bring ns high as $6.25, but none of this class of stock is coming forward at the moment. Sheep market Is quite firm with trade famished for want of supplies. Even the larger packers are not able to fill the demands of their trade and this may bring forth higher values in the near future. The torve-of the cattle market is quite good, with everyone asking about sup plies and prices stiffly maintained at former figures: Select Hogs Not Available. "Select hogs are not available in the market just now," says W. P. Oould. "The market is rather weak for them Just now, but so iR the quality. I be lieve it still possible to obtain as high as $6.26 for good hogs but those hogs must weigh from 240 to 250 pounds each and must be fat and flnlRhed. Hogs that weigh that amount and are not fin ished will not bring the price. "Already there is a better demand all through the cattle market and all sorts of stock are being taken up by killers with prices held very firm though un changed. "While there is no change in the price of sheep as yet the prospects are good and although I don't like to have shippers hold back their supplies too much, I am of the opinion that prices will do better after awhile." Today's arrivals of livestock in the yards compare with this day in recent years aa follows: Hogs. Cattle. Sheep. 1907 80 215 1908 236 62 220 1905 70 .. 116 A year ago today all lines of live stock showed a steady tono with val ues unchanged. Tard's Representative Prioea.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. Open. Close. Nov. 27. Loss. Dec. May July JUH'A 103 lOSttB Chicago, Nov. 28. There was a very narrow range of prices In the local wheat market today, with a very alow tone abroad. The market has a waiting attitude and neither side Is willing to go much out of its way to Indue trad ing. While the market started a fraction or two higher here this morning, the price did not reflect any changed con ditions In the pit. There were a few snorts wno wanted to be square over Sunday and as most of them had paper profits they took them and covered at tne fractional advance. After this cov ering was over there was practically nothing to sustain the advance and af ter drifting Into Intense dullness a weaker feeling appeared and the market closed o under yesterday for the De cember and unchanged for the May and juiy options. Liverpool traders-were undecided In their views and the market there closed unchanged to A above yesterday. i'rimary receipts in ousneis: Today. Year asro.

The only movement of note Is the purchases iof liberal lots at interior point but even these lots exports are not making very mucn eriort to purchase. The cash wheat market Is showing no change in value so far as publically made, but it Is quite doubtful if any thing over 89c could be received for club, track Portland. On the Portland board of trade there was a feeling of weakness in wheat fu tures. For December option the bids were c lower and a like decline was shown by holders of the same option. For November wheat board of trade bids are c a bushel under yesterday at 91c while asked prices are c down.

Where Is John H. Eppler? That is a question that is becoming exceedingly pointed In the circuit court, where he" was ordered to appear not later than 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon with a note for $8600. The note was to be held for sale to satisfy an excutlon for $1500 under a Judgment given against Eppler and his wife in favor of Mrs. Mary A. Stark. Instead of appearing with the note, as he was ordered to do by Judge Gan tenbeln, Eppler has himself disappeared. Mrs. Eppler says he left homo Thanks giving morning, saying he was going over to Vancouver to get the note, which was on deposit there. He has not been seen since. Thomas J. Cleeton, attor ney for the Epplers, says he does not know .where his client has gone, and thinks that the man Is not fully re sponsible for his actions. "I want Eppler here, and tbe note as well," said Mr, Cleeton today. "1 have no idea where he ia He is 71 years of age and from information I have gained from a physician 1 do not believe that he realizes what a serious thing he is doing In disobeying the order of the court. That is the only way I can ex cuse hla action." Dan J. Malarkey and John F. Logan, the attorneys for Mrs. Stark, declare that no stone will be left unturned to uncover property owned by the Epplers, which they are alleged to have trans ferred to their son after suit was begun against them in order to defeat the judgment The disappearance of Eppler and the probability that he has tied from the state with the note from which It was hoped that the Judgment might be realised, puts new complications In the case. Mrs. Eppler appeared yesterday after noon and paid Into court $40 that she was oruJred to produce by Judge Gan tenbein last Wednesday, so she is not in danger of being declared In contempt of court. Hearing In the matter is set for next Monday afternoon.

Rork, the owner and manager of the shoy. yesterday secured a tem porary injunction from Presiding Judge Gantenbeln in the circuit court to pre vent the sale of orchestra or parquet tickets at the Baker theatre for leas than Sl.bO during the week beginning December 6. That Is the date sched uled for the coining of "The Land of Nod."

He says the show is under contract to play at his house, and he will not consent to cancel it. Judge Gantenbeln will hear argument on making the Injunction permanent next Monday afternoon.

Quack enbush is president, has begun suit in the circuit court against tha city. Mayor Lane and Auditor Barbur. Quackenbush is after an injunction to prevent ..ia city from contracting with the Barber concern for the improvement of Cleveland avenue from Kllllngswerta to Ainsworth avenue. In Piedmont. The complaint sets out the ownership of 22 lots on that avenue by the Investment company, and says that more than half the burden of the contemplated improve ment will fall upon It. The cost to tha plaintiff would be about $5,000. it la claimed, without any compensating ben- V The complaint also alleges that four rain sumps are proposed to be located at the Intersection of streets outside of the assessment district. These are de clared to be of no advantage to Cleve land avenue property and to provide Insufficient drainage. It is charged that under the plans prepared by the city engineer the materials to be used could only be furnished by the Barber trust, and that only one bid was submitted or expected. Tha complaint, filed this forenoon, al leges that tbe bid was opened "on or about the hour of i p. m.," on November 28, the time fixed' for opening propos als. The suit Is thus several hours ahead of tha actual opening of the bid. SUE COIITRACTOR EOS ADVAIICES Archie Mason, James N. Davis and Walter F. Burrell, composing the firm of Mason, Davis 4 Co., have begun suit against Benjamin F. Jacobs In the cir cuit court for $10,642, balance alleged to be due on advances made to the de fendant for work performed for tha plaintiffs on the Klamath reclamation project. The complaint states that Mason, Da vis & Co. was organized for the purpose of contracting with the United States for work on the Klamath scheme, and in March, 1906, made an agreement with ' Jacobs by which he was to perform 5 art of the work. Later, it Is alleged, acd'bs became short on funds to pay his laborers and carry on the work, so advances were made to him by the com pany, with the, understanding that these sums should be repaid with 10 per cent interest. It is alleged that $116,450 was pa d out for the benefit of Jacobs, and that there Is $3,324 Interest due on that sum. From tha United States, in payment for work performed, the company has re ceived $105,820, which has been cred ited to the defendant, and it has also received $3,412 from Jacobs. This leaves a balance of $10,642 unpaid, for which Judgment is asked.
