QVERBECK&COOKECO COLUMBIA SHAD PACK PASSES OUT OF HANDS OF THE PACKERS HERE Fully 90 Per Cent of Output It Sold and Demand Is Increasing; Fish Making Market of Its Own in the Country. About 00 per cent of this year's pack of Columbia river shad has already been sold by canners. The Pillar Rock Pack ing company has sold Its entire output of 2400 cases and other packers report that most of their stock has already passed into either jobbing or consuming hands. The total pack of shad along the Co lumbia this season was around 12.000 cases. Being the first season for com mercial packing, the output was remark ably large. The fact that the bulk of the stock has already passed from first hands Indicates that the product Is fast Winning Us way on its meriis. Previous to the opening of Alaskan salmon prices it was generally believed that the shad would take the place of the cheaoer trades of salmon owing to the popular price of 10c a can which It could be sola at in me reiau "maraei. with a kood profit to the handler. In stead of taking the place or the cheaper salmon, the product has really created a market for Itself and worked entirely independent oi wnai saimoa is sening at This is a blsr encouragement to pack ers and the Indication Is that there will be greater activity in the market next season when a greater output will be canned and the publlo has really se cured a taste of this' delicious fish. In time it is expected that the shad packing industry here will rival that of salmon, lng price, 75c cental, f. o. b. shipping points; garlic, 7 H a sc.

Friday Thursday . . . Week ago . Year ago . .-, , 2 years ago . , 11 Hog prices are depressed in the North Portland market, aa was forecasted In this paper during recent days. . Only one load sold at $9.10 this morning, or 16a under the price of yesterday, but the bulk of the business was not above $9, or a drop of 26c from previous fig ures. There was another good run of swine In the local yards today, and while the market started quickly, it was at lower figures. The sharp- declines in the price at points east of the Rockies form the basis for the lowering of values here. Notwithstanding the drop in price here, the Portland market continues to be the highest in the entire country, being 35c better than Chicago, which is the highest east of the Rockies. Many more hogs are coming forward from Pacific coast points. In addition to the big runs of California stuff re cently, there was a very liberal offer ing from northwest points this morn ing. Totals were 601 head, compared with 808 yesterday, none a week ago, 584 a year ago and 137 head this same day two years ago. Hogs Drop in the East. At Chicago there was a drop of 13c In the hog market today with a run of 25,000 compared with 23,000 a year ago. Tops sold there this morning at $8.75. Kansas City hog trade was the weak est for over a week with the price 10 to 15c lower than yesterday. Run was 8000 head. South Omaha hogs were lOo lower than yesterday, tops selling at $8.25. Run today was 6600 head. Hog shippers today: Arlington Lum ber company, Condon, 1 load; Glaey Bros., The Dalles, 1 load; W. B. Kurtz. The Dalles, 2 loads; J. H. Phirman, Hunts Ferry, 1 load; Six Prong Ranch, Roosevelt, Wash., 1 load; J. C. More head, Centerville, Wash., 1 load. In addition to the big offerings In the hog market today and yesterday, very liberal supplies are expected during the next few days and this is causing fur ther weakness. Estimates for tomor row range from 6 to 10 loads of hogs. General hog range: Select light $9.009.10 Select heavy 9.00 Medium light 9.00 Medium heavy 8.75 I Poor light .... 6.zsoe,&ij Roueh heavy 6.00fa6.25 Feeders 7.00 8.00 Cattle Market Zs Depressed. While Puget sound cattle buyers are paying very firm prices in the country and values are at the highest point ever known In the interior, local interests are bearish and some extra fancy stuff could not be moved this morning at $7. The bearish sentiment of the local trade Is the wonder of the entire Pacif ic northwest In view of the activity of the northern buyers at primary points. Run for the day was'but 100 cattle compared with 444 last Wednesday, 313 a year ago and 437 bead this same day two years ago. On the basis of the values now offer ing In the local yards the cattle market here Is fully 25c lower. Cattle market was firmer with an ad vance of 10c In Chicago today. Kansas City cattle . trade was firm with 12,000 head In the yards this morning. . . . South Omaha cattle were steady to strong with top steers at $10.25. Cattle shippers today: R. 8.

While the exwne pricsof Jast week are not being duplicated in the market for lambs at Nort Portland, the trade in general Is considered steady, ffixtreme top at this time would not be above $5.50 while similar quality would have sold, In fact did sell last week up to $5.65. There was another big showing of mutton In the yards today; 10 loads coming from .one. party in Montana. At Chicago there was a steady tone for sheep with 40,000 head on the mar ket this morning. Kansas City sheep market was very weak with a loss of 25c for the day. South Omaha sheep trade was steady. Sheep shippers: R. N. Stanfleld, Ker shaw, Mont., 10 loads; A. R.

'A spread of 14c to 19o a pound Is shown In the bids for 1912 hops in the Willamette valley at this time. The difference In price is a reflection of quality. According to Charles Werner, wno has been In the hop trade for about 23 years, he has never before seen such mixture of ouallty as this season. Mr. Werner drove from this city through DOrtlon of Washington county and over to Aurora, Butteville and Wilson -vllle yesterday and states that ho found but little good quail t. There Is considerable 'junk' this season," he says, "In fact more than I have over seen since I entered the busi ness. It is much worse than th.ree years ago. On the west side, there were some good hops but the showing there Is not so good." Mr. Werner estimates that the crop this season Is fully 116,000 bales. "It Is much heavier than I or anyone else had expected," he says. One sale was reported on the West side at 19c a pound for choice goods but neither the name nor the seller, grower nor the amount of the bales could be secured here this morning. Other small lots were reported soiu down to 14c. . . ..... California business is somewnat bet ter at 18c to lS'io In all of the dis tricts. European adlvces tell of a quiet trade. E F New York. Sept. 18. Labor troubles In the Utah mines caused a weaken- nt of values In the entire stock mar ket today; directly affecting the mining and smelting shares. Outside of this there was little In terest in the trade and prices were er ratic with small changes. Ranee of N. T. prices furnished by Overbeck & Cooke Co. Uescnptlon.

It can bs done, and I will work put that idea.:' Asked If he Is still a Republican, the senator smiled quisslcally and answered: "Yes, I am. still a Republican; but principle is much greater with me than party, I think this situation is great, and out of It will come great good. Some individuals may be eliminated in the process, but that does not matter. The best of all systems is the one where each candidate must go before the people, declare his principles and let the people choose." . A Tells About Parcels Port The senator talked at length of the parcels post, upon which he has worked so long. ' He told of how he laid his plans far In advance, disarmed the crit icism of the postofflce officials by fore lng them to play their cards; how in formation was. gathered from all over the globe, and hpw.he finally won be cause he demonstrated with facts and figures that the parcels post will work and will- bs a money-earner for the government v Had he been reelected. Senator Bourne said, he would have started work upon the complete reorganisation of the post- office department. He predicted that $26,000,000 a year can be saved to the government by such work. Then he touched on "beaurocratlo government" Tart Is a beaurocrat absolutely," he exclaimed. "This Is not a government oflwJ)utAgQYernmenL.by rule., and regulation. It is all wrong. We have nine executive departments, with nine men each playing a game of solitaire. Bays Govornment Wrong. "The president is constantly encroach ing on the legislative branch of the gov ernment. The appointive power in the distribution of federal Jobs should be taken away from the president. I. in tend to introduce constitutional amend ment to take the appointment of post masters, marshals, ' district attorneys and so on away from the president and make then! elective. I would leave with the president, of course, the appoint ment of his cabinet and the diplomatic service. The government now Is one of de motion and demerit I would make it one of promotion and merit Men in the government service should be given a chance to rise. I am at the head of a senate com mittee, and doubtless will- be at the head of the Joint committee named by congress to inquire into the readjust ment of railroad mall pay. There is complaint of Inequality and of too much being paid for carrying the malls. I do not know whether too much is paid or not But I have sent out a large num ber of letters and have started a sys tematic Inquiry to get the facts. This will be done In the same thorough man ner that was done with the parcels post" Payors Kany Measures. Senator Bourne was asked if he con siders the large number of measures submitted under the initiative this year a menace to the Oregon system. Just the reverse," he responded. "The more measures on the ballot the bet ter, no matter if a hundred, I reason It this way: The delayed action of an individual Is controlled by selfishness. He reads and examines a measure to See But there are a large number' of lndl vlduals, and few of them think alike. So from this delayed action will come consideration of the measure from the standpoint of the general Interest t will still be a selfish examination, but the composite judgment will be for the general Interest Will a large number of measures prevent study by the voter? If he does not study he will not vote, or will vote no. Usually he will not vote, because he will think that the measure may have something in it to benefit him." Senator Bourne received callers at the Portland hotel this morning and greeted all with his old time warmth. He said that he will stay in Portland sev eral weeks, possibly until the middle of November. If he does not become a candidate himself, he says, he is unde termed as to whether he will take any active part in the presidential campaign. He -has heretofore.
