ON STREET TELLS OF CUT IN E T THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1910. ORIENTAL NEWS 1 SMOKE 1 ADJOURNS AND MUMAETO NUN LOCAL STOCKYARD Demand Is Smaller Than Ever and Therefore Buyers Are Not Willing to Take Hold of Supplies. Potato market Is dropp'ng again, and Jobbers are freely-offering supplies 10 tne retail trade torts y at NUoWJl a sac While It K stated that iih high ss 60c tier hundred nounds would still he raid for selected eastern Multnomah and Clackamas potatoes, buyers are not anx ious to tske hold at that figure, and practically no business In that Una has resulted of late. Front street dealers report a very slow movement of potatoes to the trade, because farmers are "peddling," and therefore take care of most of the city trade In this way. So far as outside jobbing business Is concerned, there Is but little encouragement to offer lust now because at country points potatoes are naturally lower than here. LUtlHi Trad Continues. Trade In the potato inarktt Is lifeless so far as saulhwealern liueJueBB Is con cerned. Buyers say they are not even trying to get orders at the present tlms because Colorado ti offering so much lower than the dealers of this state can possibly sell at that It Is a waste of both time and money to attempt to se cure orders In the faee of such condi tions. While a few growers of the Oresham district are said to be holding about as tight as ever, most producers are really seeing, the exact state of conditions, nnd are therefore quite willing to unload at whatever the market will Justify. According; to advices from California, the indications at present are that the river districts will have new potatoes much earlier than usual this year, and this therefore will shorten the season .for old stock that much.

Close. 112 4 1 07 61 4 6 3 4 B 64 4 43A 4 1 B 39 4 E More than 5000 pieces of literature were sent out during the past week from the office of census supervisor S. C. Beach. This literature is educational In Its nature, and Is Intended to make It plain to the people of the state that the census Is for enumeration purposes only. There is a sentiment among the for eign population particularly that the Information given to the census enumer ators may be used against them for tax ation purposes, or may result in their deportation or work some similar hard ship upon them. The office Is desirous of educating the foreign population par ticularly concerning the census, and be lieves that It can be done largely through the medium of literature. The schools are also aiding In the work and will Instruct the pupils In the meaning of the census, believing that in this way many of the parents who en tertain suspicions of the census man may be reached. Senator Beach Is not overlooking the cowboys, either, and has sent a big lot of mall to the range riders of the In terior part of the state explaining the purpose of the census and asking their aid In rounding up the scattered popula tion of the. Interior districts. The list of enumerators is expected from Washington in a few days, the rec ommendations of Senator Beach having been sent to Washington several days ago. Owing to the recent interruptions to the mails through storms, the list has been delayed In reaching Washing ton, but it is believed that It will bo approved and returned to Senator Beach within a few days. 335 362 29 34 238 Sales. 4.290,600 shares.
