joint during that period and flowers
from various sections who visited Port
land today state that a large per ) cent
of the crop was laid low by the chill.
According to the growers the damage
Is ronf ined almost eniirai " ;.S

tinir molested to any extent, inis
i. ih fact that In the Willam

potato' Market Bules Easier,
th l.ucl nntotn market has as yet
taken no notice of the damage to the
early plantings and values uom tmu
Ktreet were rather easy today with some
tiealers offering supplies at fractionally
, lesa quotations. The heavy shrinkage
which potatoes are showing at this time
maaes it exceedingly wmiim
as expensive to hold them much longer
an for that reason holders seem will
ing to take profit and let go.
Easier Ton la South, Too.
Easier feeling Is shown In potatoes
in the south today because of the press
ing of supplies on the markets there bv
Portland shippers. In Ban Francisco
today old Oregons were quoted 10c un
t"T the quotations of yesterday and a
fractional loss was displayed by the new
stork In consequence.
, Demand for California onions here
Is quite liberal and for that reason
prices are being held quit steady at
unchanged figures.
Tgt Snow Bo Strength.
No strength whatever Is shown in the
local egg situation today. Receipts are
Increasing here because of the absence
of outside buying and 24c Is the very
top for even single cases along Front
street.
Butter market continues firm with no
change In quotations during the day.
Tillamook steamer arrived, with a
shipment of cheese. Demand excellent
at 17c.
' Better Baa la the Bogus.
Better run of salmon Is shown In tha
Rogue river according to reports which
mrae here today. Receipts from thefe
In this market are likewise better. From

Chicago. Mav 22. Mav wheat reached
a new high record at $1.32 H today; the
highest point of the season.
This advance was made under rather
extensive buying for a Saturday, the
closing bcln- at 31.32H- The general
rise for the day was to c; the May
options gaining most.
The ext reme trer"tn' of the cash mar
ket and the scarcity of offerings in that
line has a most bullish errect upon ru
tures and shorts are going rather slow
in their Operations in an or tne deliv
eries. Russian shipments of wheat -are 736,
090 bushels and Danuban ,644,000 bush
els. World's shipments show 8.608.000
bushels of wheat and 4,663.000 bushels
of corn.
Foreign markets were rather slow
for the day, the trading showing little
inclination to go far in either direc
tion. Liverpool closed id lower to &

SAYS CLOTHES
MADE PRISONER
! Judge. Gatens does not think much of
the tailor who produces the clothes pre
sented to discharged convicts, . He says
you can tell a man released from the
penitentiary a. block off Just bv the
clothes" He does believe in the lnde-
terminate sentence, however. v and an
nounced this morning, that he Intended
to make use of It in sentencing all con
victed men brought before him, If It
were possible.
The judge delivered himself of the
opinion on the clothes this morning ln
passing sentence on Nick Boiler, cori-
viciea 01 naving stolen a goia waicn
and chain from Mrs. Electra L. Meyer.
The counsel for the plaintiff had asked
for clemency.
'There Is an Indeterminate sentence
provided for by the law," said the judge.
''It has been the custom to turn a man
out of the penitentiary with $5, a new
hat and a new suit and expect him to
live an honest life. The discharged man
will spend Part of the money to get to
Portland, the rest for room and board
and then not being able to secure work,
will steal again and be sent back to
prison. As soon as a man gets out of
prison wearing the suit the state gives
tym you ean spot hint a block away. -
"Under . the . indeterminate , sentence
there Is .a parole officer who secures
work for a man discharged or paroled.
He aids him and gives him a chance to
be honest when he leaves prison. I
believe- in this system. - It gives a man
convicted of a crime a chance to re
form. It aids' him. If he shows a dis
position to reform and If he has friends
who will vouch for him he can be pa
roled. .1 Intend to use this law not
Only In sentencing this man, but in all
other cases coming before me. where It
Is possible."
