Little Wheat Selling.
Walla Walla, Wash., Oct. 22. Owing
to the fact that the farmers are un
usually busy with fall seeding and be
cause of the low prices of wheat, little
has been duue on the local grain market
this month. Buyers report that ao far
this has been the slowest October thav
have known for years. Last October
several thousand bushels' of grain were
shipped from the valley, while this
month the shipments have been below
average. .

The higher price that is being asked
for ships for foreign loading Is holding
the local wheat market very quiet.
While- recently tha high mark was
reached by the taking of a Ship by a
local mill at 46.3, nothing Is now said
to be available under .47 shillings.
Expectations of an easier charter mar
ket have not been fulfilled owing to the
extraordinary demand for tonnage In
other businesses. This JS having a di
rect effect upon the price of wbtat.here.
With charters higher, the advance In the
wheat price abroad la being absorbed by
tbe ship owners.
No change In tha local wheat situ.
tlon is Indicated for the day. Bids for
club are possibly more general around
7So a bushel, basis tidewater track de
livery, -mere nas Deen hut little effort
to sell at primary points. The only sell
ing recently has been In the scattered
sections and by growers who were per
haps pinched for money. In the big
markets such as Walla Walla and in
Umatilla county It is believed that no
more than 10,000 bushels of wheat have
bewn sold during the lust 10 days.
California Is not showing much Inter
est in the.Jocal wheat market at thm
time and only limited sales are reported
for that account
Foreign markets were generally mone
active, firmer and somewhat higher
with short covering. There was again
free offering of wheat by Russia ana
India, but a firmer tone In Manitoba had
the effect of bringing Liverpool higner.
Coarse grain markets are steady but
rather dull at unchanged prices.
Tho hay situation Is firm at un
changed prices.

Wlth cattle.
r)A
iraae at isortn fortiana today, the mar
ket was showing quite a liberal run of
stock.
Conditions In the hog trade here are
steady, with tops .at $8.70, or the Same
as yesterday. This Is practically what
was ruling at the close of last week,
although , a nominal amount of'atock
sold then a nickel higher.
With hog prices showing a further
sharp decline at points east of the
here will be forced to a lower level Un
less mere is a radical curtailment of
snipments.
loo mi
manv hora hv hn mar1rtA at
North Portland recently to ken th
market at an abnormally high level.
Therefore, a cut In prices is probable
unless tha situation changes Immedi
ately. The big run of yesterday was some
thing; out of the ordinary and was prob
ably prepared for the Inspection trip
of Loula Swift, who Is the owner of
the Union Meat company here and heav
ily Interested In tne Portland Union
stockyards. While Monday Is generally
a big day in the livestock market: the
showing yesterday was too heavy to be
a natural trena toward tne market.
At Chicago there was a weaker tone
In the hog trade today, and values
dropped a nickel to a dime below those
quoted yesterday. Tops went at $9.05.
Run waa 22,000 head, compared with
26,000 a year ago. .
Kansas City bog market was lOo low
er ior tne day witn tope at $8.96. Run
for the day was 12,000 head.
Hog shippers today: J. H. Kelley,
Wastuchna, 1 load; Hugh Cummlngs,
Independence, 1 load, Halsey, 1 load;
Fred B. Decker, Qervals, 1 load.
General hog ran go:
Select light t 8 70
Select heavy ..... . . .. ... ... ... 8. 66 08.7Q
jvieaium iignt B.tb
Medium heavy 8.000 8.60
Poor light 6.26 6.50
Rough heavy 6.00 6.25
Feeders 7.00
Only one load of cattle arrived for
sale on the North Portland market to
day, this being shipped in from Hllls
boro by C. W. Helm.
The matket for cattle is just about
holding its own. Quite a big bunch of
the arrivals of yesterday were held over
until today owing to the lack of suit
able demand at that time. The market
in general Is easily a dims lower than
last "week for quality. Killers nave
their immediate requirements and are
therefore not keen to take hold at the

ERRATIC PIES IN THE

ARE CAUSE OF WORRY
Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Com
pany Quotes Special Out of 25
" Cents fo.r City Trade Only;, There
by Complicating the Situation.
The canned mltk trade Is again' erratic
with price cutting on all sides and the
'buying public unable to tell ainether
It. is paying more or less than others
for the same goods and brands.
Tho Paclflo iCoast Condensed Milk
company has again started something
that may lead to further complications.
Following the naming of a upeolal Cut
Of 26c a case to Jobbers for a single
carload of canned milk by the,. Borden
company, the Paclflo Coast Condensed
Milk company has announced a cut of
a similar amount to city buyers.
Buyers in the country, are therefore
forced to pay the old price and this
Will cause further complications.
" For aoihe reason, which the trade
Itself la unable to explain, . there has
been a decrease in the volume of canned
milk trade locally recently.' Whether
this is due to the fact thut freeli milk
supplies,. In the Pacific northwest have
been greater, this y eat -llmn. usual I
not known but condunsary companies
are trying to stem this tide by niak-
Ing concessions In the price.
The principal shading has. contrary
to former, standards, been done by the
big companies while formerly the small
er concerns were the ones to firm cut
quotations. The canned milk trade has
been, so badly complicated during the
last 1 ft nwmtht hat -theama 11 er --
ners are unable to tell exactly where
they Bland. ,
Fighting brands are being tabooed
bv the trade generally because they act
only as demoralizers and few of the
leading Jobbers have been willing to en
courage the sale of anything except
regular stock' recently.
Notwithstanding the dullness In the
trade here, there is considerable ac
tlvlty shown at Southern Pacific coast
points. California Interests have been
trying to line up southern Oregun cou-
densarles, agreeing to taK6 tnair en
tire product at the market price. As
a rule canners have not been favorably
Inclined because they realize that only
by general dletrlbutation can they make
a success oi their brands.

STUDENTS UNGRATEFUL
TO DONOR OF
Seattle, Oct, 22. A row In the Uni
versity of Washington has resulted
from the protest of certain etudonts
against the acceptance of the $12,000
chimes presented by Alden J. Blethen,
publisher of the Seattle Times, which
they term a "tainted gift." An open
letter referring to Blethen In scath
ing terms was on the press of the stu
dent "publication the University Daily,
yesterday afternoon, when President
Kane of the university ordered the
whole issue suppressed. This aroused
the students, and the open letter was
printed In circular form and spread last
night and this morning over the cam
pus. Andrew Eldred, editor of -the paper,
declares there will be no issues of the
paper until the open letter is permitted
to be run. The student board of con
trol Is meeting this afternoon to take
up the question of having the paper
printed downtown Instead of by the
university press. President Jerry. Rtor.
dan of -the--student body has flatly re
fused to participate In the formal cere
monies tonight when the chimes are to
be accepted.

five months'-stay lit Vancouver, B. C,
where he has been employed in eleo
trical installation a the Hew Swift
Packing company plant recently erecUd
in that city." ,, ',, ,
"Prom my own observation,"' fall
Mr. McCoy thia morning, "and from
what I learned In conversation with
Vancouver, citisens, I am satisfied' that
single tax as it is applied In Vanuouvee
la of 'inestimable .benefit to .tie labor-'
ing man and business man alike.' t ,J
"The general prOepcrlt y pf tha city
is one of the , most striking circum
stances that Immediately attract' the
stranger's attention, and the taxpayers :
or 'ratepayers.' as they call them there, ,
told me that single tax Is credited with
being responsible for the greater part
of this proefHsrlty. There- is plenty-t
work for all classes of mechanics lit ,
Vancouver and the wages, with an tflabt
hour day, are uniformly better there
than in Portland. ' 1
"The city as a city is evidently pro-
perous and progressive from the cir
cumstance that the fire fighting appa
ratus of Jhe.clt; are. all motor pro
pelied, and they "have" aa "much of It,"
with half the population, as we have In
Portland. There are banks galor -there,

"The streetcar company sells tickets
at the rate of eight for 25 cents, these
to be used from 7 to 9 o'clock la the
morning and from 5 to 7 o'clock in tha
evening, the hours when the laboring? ;
men are going to and from their work.--In
every way, In fact, the condition of
the working people is entirely satlafac
tory, and as I say, these conditions ara
all credited to the operation of tha 8ln
gle tax idea.
"Vancouver is built up solidly. There
are no vacant corners and no churches
