While the local apple market Is some
what more active, a low range of values
is In effect Offerings and arrivals of
apples are very heavy and this- trade
is not able to maintain former figures.
The Hood River and Mosler districts
are sending the bulk of the present sup
plies. One feature of especial interest
in the apple situation at the present time
is that most of the fruit now coming
forward from upper Columbia river
points consists of very small sizes, the

Chicago, Dec. 8. Wheat touched " a
new high mark for the present crop,
May option reaching its high point today
at 110, aa compared with" 110H yes
terday. However, the closing today Is
t4c above yesterday on the much ma
nipulated option.
There was a showing of weakness
abroad, with more rains reported in Argentina-
and In Russia, where they were
hsaly needed. Liverpool opened with
May at 7a 9Hd and closed at 7s 8d.
It was the cash situation which
caused the good start in the Chicago
wheat pit this morning. December
went to 106H, but May and July were
each disappointing; at the opening. A
few moments after the session started
both of the latter options began to show
strength, with considerable ahort cov
ering, and this continued right up to the
closing. The closing was to Sc
above yesterday, with May option
strongest.
The strong tone tn wheat was a great
aid to the coarse grain markets today.
After opening slow, corn options closed
Ho higher for May and July. Oats
started strong, with mtle change In
quotations, but with the Improvement
In wheat and corn a better feeling was
Imparted to oats toward the close. This
was to sbove yesterday. A
lower hog market in the yards caused

Improvement was shown today In the
tone of all local grains on the Portland
board of trade. There was an advance of
c In the bids for both December and
January options of wheat today. Hold
ers were stronger In their views and
were asking an advance of c a bushel
over yesterday with December at 93c
and January at 93 c a bushel.
While the cash wheat situation con
tinues very firm with no change In
values, the volume of business" Is
small. This Is due entirely to the lack
of offerings by producers. The recent
sales of bluestem at other points at $1
a bushel basis tidewater delivery, has
excued the growers and no supplies are
oh. liable at the moment under that
figure" Portland buyers say they are
not offering oveF 9n a bushel but admit
their Inability to buy supplies at that
prlc while 'others are offering consid
erably more.
On the Portland hoard of trade today
there was no change In prices on either
oats or barley futures, yesterday list
on both grains being continued by buy
ers and sellers. However, in view of
the better feeling in the south, a sale
of 300 tons of oats was made for January-February
delivery at $32 a ton as
compared with 331.76 yesterday. A sale
of 200 tons of barley was also made
for February delivery at $27 track as
compared with transactions yesterday
at $26.76 per ton.
Another Cargo of Flour Bold.
Local people have purchased for
Hongkong account a cargo of flour
from the Centennial mills at Seattle
which will go forward In the near fu
ture. It Is understood that a ship has
been taken on the sound to load the
cargo at $2 a ton or $1 cheaper than
the shipment could bo made by regular
liner from Portland. It Is stated that
the price received is about $3.45 net
tidewater.
Local flour trade Is very firm but no
changes in values are shown for the
day.

(United PrM Leased Win.l
Tonopah, Nev., Dec. 3. The owners of
the larger silver mines of Tonopah and
the camps near here are discussing the
question or closing their workings until
the price of silver rises. The continual
depression of the silver market will
probably force the mines to close, ac
cording to the operators, unless the
tendency of the white metal to hover
above 45 cents is dissipated.
It Is rumored that the Philadelphia
capitalists who control the Tonopah
mining corporation have already taken
a decisive step and have wired their
manager to stop operations. Ore that
has been taken out of the shaft will be
kept in the dumps.
Three thousand men will be thrown
out during the holidays if the mines
close oeiore t uristmas.

Portland Union Stockyards, Dec.
Cattle values are very firm in the local
yards today and extra select quality
would likely sell as high as $4.35. Cat
tle are bringing 25c mors today than
they were a week or 10 days ago. and
Still the tpne Is showing Improvement.
There Is a vary short supply offering
at the moment. Grass stuff has about
disappeared from the market and- from
this time forth shippers will not send
their fed stuff to market unless they
are assured of favorable returns,
Weakness tn Hog Market.
There is a large showing of weakness
In the hog situation at the moment.
Seattle buyers seem to have deserted
the market here for the time being.
While a short time ago they were buy
ing practically all their wants in this
market, today they are doing the bulic
of their buying at northern Idaho
points. Arrivals of hogs are fair, thera
being quite a run In after 10 o'clock
which were not counted among today's
arrivals.
The sheep market stands In a very
good position as far as demand Is con
cerned, but there is a lack of offer
ings and the price quotations are there
fore nominal.
Today's run of livestock In the yards
compares with this day In recent years
as follows:
Hogs. Cattle. Sheep.
1907 77 1,000
1906 571 . . 260
1905 .. 1,600
A year ago trade was very firm In
both hogs and cattle. For this day In
1907 both hogs and cattle show an ad
vance of 10c over former prtces. Sheep
were easy at unchanged values.
"Cattle Do Better" Tom Bauson.
"The cattle market Is doing . much
better Just as had been expected," says
Tom Benson of Benson & Gould. "The
market Is fully 25c above the figures
that ruled previous to Thanksgiving. I
look for a still better market In the
near" future. Cattle that were, selling
at $4 a week or so ago are now finding
a demand at $4.25 and top: extra select
stuff will In all probability bring $4.35
at this time. At this time the receipts
are under the demand. Hogs are easier
with $6 the extreme top. Northern
buyers are securing the bulk of their
goods elsewhere. While the sheep mar
ket continues firm there ass few ar
rivals to base a quotation."

Stiffer Tone in' Money Mar
ket Due to Possibility of
Gold Exporting.
New York, Dec 8.r-Th stock market
was erratic for tha small volume of
business today, although tha changes in
values did not show a very wide range.
Tha tighter money- market was prob
ably tha direct cause of tha decline in
firlces early in the day, call loans soar
ng to 3 per cent and were very firm
at that flgrua.
Great Northern preferred was tha star
feature of the day. There was a re-
rort current in the financial district
hat Great Northern Ore Lands would
ay a dividend of $1.60 a share some
lme In January, but the rumor was
very Indefinite. , -
Better earnings are ' shown among
some or the railroads, as well as in
dustrials, but the speculative trade was
in no mood today to listen and In con
sequence the market was not affected. .
The foreign (situation is one drawback
to the American market, and the dump
ing overboard there of great blocks of
American shares recently has notherped
this market. At London today Ameri
can -shares . were generally depressed,
with leading Issues to H point low
er at the closing. "
In the stock market here today the
advance of 3 points in Great Northern
preferred was the. only change over 1
point, the general market closing about
H point higher to an equal amount
lower.
The summary of the Wall Street Jour
nal says today:
"Rumors of transfer of Wisconsin
Central control to Canadian Pacific.
Fair borrowing demand in the loan
crowd. 'Advance In Interest -rates nec
essary to check gold exports, "jut loss
on that account Is expected to exceed
7.7 per cent. Regular quarterly dividend
on American Can preferred. Erie net
earnings for October Increased $811,383,
and for four months a net increase of
$361,776. Regular dividend on Twin City
preferred."

PAPKE LETS OUT
MANAGER JONES
Jones Says It's Tough, After
Helping Billy Make
His Pile. .
(United Pres Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles, Dec. 8. Tears stood In
the eyes of Tom Jones today when he
cashed a check for $100 presented to
him by Billy Papke . after his arrival
from San Francisco this morning, when
he notified his former manager that he
nad been superseded oy Ham tterger.
Jones had no criticism to make other
than a statement to a friend that It was
"rather rough, after helping Papke make
his pile." '
Jones has evidently been so busy
making money for Papke that he had
neglected himself along that Una . He
said today tmtt his bank roll was not
so large tnai it ootnerea mm to nsnaie

said he figured that Berger could take
care of him better than Jones.
Papke stated that he did not wish to
make weignt lor iveicnet in tneir lasi
fight and relied on Jones to manage
that end of - It. He said his strength
was sapped and that Ketchel caught
him weak. Consequently, by Implica
tion, he blamed Jones for his defeat.
- Berger conferred with Baron Long,
manager of the Jeffries club, and veri
fied articles drawn for the scheduled
Papke-Kelly fight, December 15. at Ver
non. Immediately afterward he took.
Papke to his Venice training quarters.

turn to J. F. Guton, since deceased.
For years the Tribune has been a
losing proposition and it was thought
that Geer would be able to make It pav.
Immediately following his assumption
of control the paper did a good busi

against Ellis, also a resident of Pendle
ton, put the-paper on the downhill
grade again.

sail It. It -is a wonder that these two '
platforms did not fall to the ground
with a crowd of boys and kill and malm
a number of them. ' r
There were two principal crowds, one ,
known as the "Chipmunk" gang and
the other as the "Sitting Bull" crowd.
It Is evident that the reading of yellow-backed
literature has Inflamed tha
Imagination of some of these boys, and
that parents have been derelict In duty
by permitting this kind of sport, as
practically all the boys were armed with
bows and arrows, and Of lata a gang of
large boys tried to dislodge the smaller
ones by discharging revolvers and guns,
supposedly loaded with blank cartridges.
Thla "fort" gradually grew from In
nocent playhouses in the woods built
last summer, and boys from different
parts along the Mount Scott line began
to collect on Saturdays. Sundays, and
even at night '
. ' . .
that Geer has .been working for a sal
ay, the entire management of the paper
having been' taken over by. the Commer
cial Savings bank of Pendleton, the
cashier of which, W. I Thompson,
backed Geer In his congressional aspir
ations. The entire stock of the paper
fell into the hands of the bank and
the paper was therefore owned by that
institution.
It is not known what Geer will do,
now that he Is out of the Tribune,
though it is understood that he intends
to return to the Willamette valley, In
all probability to Portland where he
will makd his future home. '-
