The general trade is quoting lower prices and In fact the bids are bo much lower than formerly that quite a large amount or the stuff was carried over from yesterday because receivers were unwilling to accept the figures quoted. The run of rattle today at .North Port land Inrluded 953 head compared with 437 yesterday. 333 Tuesday, 1214 Slbn dav and 111 head last Thursday. At t htrago there was a steady tone Poultry prices show a sheer drop of to lHc a pound in the local market.

All chickens are down ami whild straight coops of hens are being quot-J r nominal way as nign aa io a pound today, sales at tha higher nrica are almost too nominal to quote. T here have been very heavy arrivals of chickens along Front street recently and with the big buyers holding off for lower prices, receivers experienced con siderable difficulty In getting from un der. Many of the larger dealers were unable to clean up previous to the time of the slump. Eg-grs at 30 Cents. The egg market is firm at 30c a dozen today for selected local ranch. While receipts are still rather fair, leading dealers say they are able to clean up at the higher figure, although a few sell ers continue to complain that the ma ket Is not nearly so good as It seems. Eastern eggs of bst quality are be ing freely offered at 25c a dozen al though once In a while some extra care- UTul candling brings a cent more than inia. some or the cneaper stock is sell ing down to 23o a doren.

While the change in the swine trade at North Portland was nominal today owing to the very limited offerings, the market was not nearly as firm as dur ing recent days, owing to the lower prices ruling recently In the Missouri river territory. The only load of hogs that came for ward to the local market during the past 24 hours was from Endicott Wash., John Branbert being the shipper. At Chicago there was a steady tone In the hog trade today with prlcei ruling the same as yesterday.

The serious de pression In Steel Corporation shares to day was assigned to the poorer outlook for business and the cutting of. prices for steel products. According to Iron Age. there is n possibility of lower wages in steel mills, and tho matter Is being seriously discussed. No improve ment nas been noted In the industry. lioin uttie and tag steel were weak and depressed tod;iy, as a result of the dumping overboard of huge blocks of stocks by torelguers, who are said to be affected by the higher bank rates. The Bank of England advanced Us minimum discouu. rate to 4 per cent, and the Bank of France placed its In terest charges at 3V4 per cent. There" was a report current today that the United States Steel corporation was thinking of letting go of its hold ings in the railroads, and this had an adverse affect upcii its own securities. Steel common dropped 5V and Steel pre ferred 4 polnu during the day. The decline in the latter was sensational, and was one of the heaviest ever shown In that security. There was a mixed tone in the rest of the market, bii' changes quite heavy in some of the lenders. Missouri Pacific was 1 points higher at the closing, due to the further exam ination of its annual report, which was considered bearish yesterday. Range of New York prices furnished by Overbeck & Cooke Co.: the answer to tha Injunction suit against J 1 Secretary of State Olcdtt to prevent hia J j placing the university referendum on T 1 the election ballots reduced to stenog J rapher'a notes. The answer was filed J I today. In the answer It la flatly denied that there was ever any conspiracy on Park iaon's part to secure names by fraudu lent methods, but that on the contrary there was a conspiracy against Parklson to load him with fraudulent names for the purpose of defeating the petitions. But it is alleged that Parklson discov ered thla and thiew out 4000 or more names which he knew to be bad, and that the 13,000 or more filed are all good. Parklson declares he knows tho cir culators, with a very few possible ex ceDtiona. ta b irood union men anil that la willing to undertake to prove the signatures filed to be genuine. In re gard to the-lUO names declared Illegal because they were acknowledged before tho city recorder of Woodburn, it la al leged in the answer that the city record er was ex-offlcio justice of the peace and the court is asked to allow him to come into court and sign himself so Instead of as "city recorder." ' 1 The defense is prepared to go into the argument of the issue of whether or not fraud on the part of a circulator annuls the entire petition, loaded with good arguments. Upon this point of law will depend greatly the determtna- Chicago Market Is Quiet With But I f'0""'118 asJ The ,defen!e wil1 argue t.4i t-i kon, lthat !t B "urd t Place the circulator Chicago, Sept. 21. The wheat market Oats market dropped a full dollar a ton In the local trade today and while there was a nominal amount of busi ness during the preceding 24 hours at $29.6030.00 a ton, nothing over 828.00 41)28.50 la available today for the same stock. There are greater offerings of oats from the Willamette valley and growers themselves seem to be to blame more for the present reaction than anything else. While dealers were getting their own ideas higher and were Inclined to bid an advance, growers started to offer at any price that was available and it did not take the market very long to dis cover this. Barley trade is autet but firm at pre vious prices. Hay Is likewise firm, especially for the grain varieties. Wheat is quiet with prices unchanged. Only a small amount of business is coming from the Orient for flour and millers say they are not disposed' to rush sales. Almost all of them have all the business in the export line they can attend to for some months. WHEAT TRADE MARKS TIME Desrm'lon- l open!

The hop urou in win necnon nas an neen gath ered, and notwithstanding the heavy rains of last week, no reports of dam age to the crop have been repprted Other crops, however, suffered greatly from the rain, grain in the stack and shock having sprouted badly. Farmers sny that almost a total loss on grain caught by the rain will result. Prunes in some orchards win hn loss of 25 per cent, considerable of the fruit cracking open because of the rain. Picking of prunes will begin the latter part of this week In several orchards. Other crops ahow no damage from the rain. Grapes In this section are showing up in fine shape, and the crop will be heavy, v Potatoes were much benefited by the rain, and, the yield will be above the average. The past week has been bright a-nd fair and Interrupted harvesting of crops Is again in full awing.
