Big Shipments From New Zealand
Are Held in Bonded Warehouses
of the North Awaiting New Tariff
Law; Fresh Stocks Short Here.

Chickens are Vweaker.
Hop trade excited.
Country hoga weak.
Veals very firm.
Peach trade better.
Potatoes going south.
v O
The price of butter here should bo
higher than at yie moment, but cream
ery Interests generally ore opposed to
such an advance. From the standpoint
of supply and demand a a harp riHe in
value is necessary In the trade, but it
develops that creamery men are Beared.
During the last 24 hours It developed
that severar hundred thousands of
pounds of fancy creamery butter were
held In bonded warehouses In the north
and will be sent to various American
markets as Boon as the new tariff law
goes Into effect. The stocks Include sev
eral big steamship loads from New Zea
land and the movement Is said to have
Jum begun.
The supply of freshly made butter
both here and at Eastern points Is now
so short despite the great holdings of
storage stork that everywhere there is
a tendency to advance quotations.
A few days ago Puget Sound interests
made a strong effort to force the price
higher but were unable to do so owing
to the fact that Portland is a competing
point and therefore a higher price could
not be forced in the north and main
tained without & similar movement in
prices here.
CHICKEN MARKET IS WEAK
Rather weak tone Is showing In tho
chicken trade along Front street, but
there has been no further lowering of
prices since yesterday. Home supplies
will be carried over until Monday by
a few dealers.
PEACH MARKET CLEANING UP
Market for peaches Is cleaning up
somewhat better with smaller supplies
offering. Tho price recently went so
low that groworB in the leading sections
refused to ship. The price here Is frac
tionally better for selected stuff.
TOMATO MAHKKT DOWN AGAIN
Price of tomatoes Is down B to 10c a
, box again in the local market. Extreme
top quotation for tho day was COo this
morning and most of the business n
faslng at 41 to 50c. Rather fair Quality
it shown among arrivals.
HELL PEPPERS HARD TO MOVE
Dealers generally report their Inabil
ity to rlean up offerings of bell peppers,
An effort whs made to consign soma
stock to Seattle and the following ad
vice was received from there: "We
thought that every single pepper grown
In thefUnited States wns at present on
the strleet here. We don't know what io
do wlt supplies."
CANNED CORN TO P.E niGn
Panned corn prices promlsn to reach
record values throiichout the country
this eenson as a result of the dry weath
er during the early part of the growing
season which was followed recently nv
a severe frost throughout New England.
The shortage Is said to be the greatest
ever known.
HUCKLEBERRIES ARE LOWER
Huckleberrv prices are down today
along Front street with best offerings
going slowly at lOo a pound. This Is a
drop of 2c from recent quotations. Sup
plies are Increasing. Quality remains
very good.

A Number of Carload Orders Have
Keen Received but Only One Deal
er Is Represented; Weather Is
Against Movement.
Borne limited order for carload lots of
potatoes are reaching the local market
fbom ArtEona points. While only one
shipper reports any business from the
southwest. thlH interest lias already re
ceived a number of orders for both
spot and future delivery. Business is
possible on the basis of 75c a cental
f. o. b. shipping points to growers.
The weather has been one of the chief
factors recently in holding In check po.
tato business with the southwest. Most
northwest Interests are not anxious to
secure orders from there at present
owing to the warm weather, which
causes the stock to shrink unusually
fast and ruins some shipments. It is
slated that even California shipments
at this time are dangerous.
California parties are still In the lo
cal field and are taking an occasional
carload lot around 8Ue a cental f. o. 1.
country shipping points for selected
stock. This Is the extreme top of the
market at the moment and generally
speaking not over 75c s available for
good shipping stuff.
Digging of potatoes is general and
some very good quality Is shown. As ft
rule, however, the trade does not feel
that It is safe to send supplies for any
extended distance unless there Is a
rhange In the weather. Some south
west business 1ms developed recently at
Idaho points.
STOCK MARKET IS DULL
Session Is Uninteresting and Prices
Give Utile Indication of the
Trend of Trade.
New York, Sept. 10. The session w83
dull and uninteresting and the course
of prices gave little indication of the
trend. Early weakness was followed by
a nioderate recovery and traders as a
whole were disposed to refrain from
further committments owing to the fact
that t lie market will not again open
until noon Monday.
Despite the reactionary tendency
which was exhibited yesterday senti
ment continues very cheerful and the
character of tho support tendered the
list on the occasional down turns has
lent color to the belief that strong file
tors arc still arrayed on tho long side.
Quite u little new financing Is ex
pected within the next few weeks and
it seem? prohablo that security prices
will be held firm in order to facilitate
distribution of new capital issues.
Crop advices?, while being closely
watched, are not exerting at present in
fluence on stocks nor are the reports
J'i'uni trade circles denoting slackening
tendencies in certnin quarters; In fact,
the disposition seems to be to give the
unfavorable sldo of things little atten
tion, which perhaps in due to the fact
that outsldo holdings of stocks are rel
atively small and that the destinies of
the market are momentarily being gov
erned by the interests usually respon-

PRICE OF HOPS TO HIGHER POINT IN VALLEY
OFFER 27 1-2 CENTS
FOR HOPS WITH VERY
EXCITED TRADE HERE
Market Is Not Only Firm but Is
Moved Up Another Good Notch;
Options Sought at Further .Ex
treme Figures in Valley.
Twenty-seven and a half cents has
been offered to several parties for hops
In the Willamette valley during the
Just 24 hours. TThe market is not only
firmer and hlgner but there is at pres
ent every indication that values will
advance to at least 80o, before the buy
ing movement subsides.'
While there was little business re
ported in the hop market this morning,
the strength of the trade was pro
nounced. The business was being held
back by the inability of buyers to se
cure supplies at 25c a pound, which
they have been freely offering during
the last 24 hours.
Growers are generally asking SOo a
pound for the better class of stuff and
it is stated that options have been re
quested as high as 85c but have been
refused by growers. The market Is
simply topsy-turvey and almost any
price may be forced within the immedi
ate future.
A very significant fact has devel
oped. Brewers everywhere are out of
the market. None of the buying has
been for their account. All has been
done for English speculative Interests.
The latter seem confident of their posi
tion and fresh orders have come for
ward. ,
Foreign cables continue to tell of the
firm stand taken by growers and val
ues are generally higher.

The grain trade here is very quiet.
A small amount of business is passing
in all lines but no snap is shown in
the market. Purchases of wheat are
again limited with no special desire
among buyers to take hold except at
fractionally reduced values for both
club and bluestem. Growers are firm in
their views and no business is possible
bek w highest figures.
With all early requirements of oats
and barley exported taken care of at
this time, Indications point to a slignt
lowering of values. Now that two uf
the big exporters have forced another
interest to pay for th "licking" they
received a year ago, the outlook Is
not so strong, although it is still quite
possible that revenge may force values
up again.
Conditions In the flour market are
quiet. No change was made in tlw pric
uf export flour, the quotation remaining
at eS.br.C0cl.70 us quoted by Tlie Journal
during recent days. Local patent mar
ket is very quiet.
MlllstufTs are quiet with no business
reported for southern account wlng to
the high freights in effect and the ah
sence of any special desire for supplies
l'rnrn the south.

BIXBY TRIAL WAITS
COURT
DECISION
Defendant Objects to Testi
mony of Another Girl Cor
roborating That Given,
(United press Leaned Wire. I
JjOB Angeles, Sept. 2C. Both sides In
the Bixby trial are marking time to
day while Superior Judge Bledsoe is
preparing a decision that apparently
Is vital to the case. The defense con
tends that tlie teatlmony of Marie
Brown-Levey shall not be admitted.
The court will rule Monday morning,
to which time the case was continued.
Miss Brown-Levey was called by the
state to corroborate the testimony of
Cleo Helen Barker, to whose delin
quency Bixby Is charged with having
contributed. If her testimony'' is- not
admitted that of several young women
held In readiness by the state also will
be barred, and the testimony of Miss
Barker must go unsupported.
The defense claims that the Levey
testimony cannot be pertinent to the
Barker-Blxby affair; also that it might
prejudice the Jury against the defend
ant. Argument on the question was
continued until lights were necessary
In tlie courtroom, when Judge Bledsoe
announced he would reserve decision
Until Monday.
Throughout the day's session the de
fense plainly Indicated that it will
rest Its case on an allegation that
blackmail of Bixby was intended.
Early today several aged men who
have been regular attendants at the
trial lined up In the corridor before
the door ready to rush for seats, not
knowing that there would be no ses
sion today. They departed in disap
pointment when they were told.
Gray-beards have been much In evi
dence among the spectators since the
trial began. Whenever possible they
occupy front seats and, leaning for
ward on their canes, with hands cupped
at their ears, eagerly drink in the tes
timony. Yesterday two ear trumpets
protruded over the rnll behind which
spectators are seated.
FOREIGN LABORERS WILL
NOT BE WELCOMED
North Yakima, Sept. 20. Organize 1
labor will not oppose the right sort of
immigrants, but will fight to the limit
tlie artlflcally stimulated Influx of for
eigners which Is expected as soon as the
Panama canal is opened. This. Is the
I statement of r. W. Dowler, general
'organizer for the I'nited Brotherhood
of Carpenters, who Is here on business.
I Despite the fact that both Washing
ton and Oregon have special commis
sions to look up people to come over to
' settle on the logged-of f lands, Mr.
Dowler believes that the'actlvity of the
steamship companies, operating In cities
and villages is hound to flood the coun
try with people who are not desirous of
being farmers, but will compete with
, the working man.
1 "The recent strikes In the east," he
j said, "are an instance of what happens
when a crowd of foreign workmen are
gathered into a labor center."
TROD ON NEW WALK;
COST HIM MONEY
Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 20. It cost
Lars Olsen $25 today to leave bis foot
prints In the sands of time not ex
actly sand, but in the newly laid con
crete pavement on tho Puyallup road,
upon which he carelessly stamped well
defined ground plans of his pedal ex
tremities. Olsen appeared hefore Jus
tice KvanH and laced his accuser, Dep
uty County Kngineer Caldwell. There
was no trial. I.ars simply admitted his
ci rot and handed over the $25.
Caldwell is now looking for Joyriders
who took down his barricades and left
the Indelible Imprint of their tires in
his concrete.

Effect Will Not Affect Local

Readjustment of freight ratel which
will allow a through tariff from middle .
west points by land and water to orl
ental ports are soon to be put Into ef
fect by the Oregon-Washington Railroad
& Navigation company to take effect
within u few weeks. Concerted action
by other roads is looked for so that
Puget Sound ports will have no advant- '
age over Portland and that the entlr
west may compete with the Atlantlo
seaboard for the worlds traffic.
R. U. Miller, traffic manager for the '
O.-W. R. & N., said this morning that
the new rates would have no effect on
local shippers whatever und the actual
rates might not figure out so very much
lower. He explained, however, that the
whole subject of rates, as discussed
at a conference of railway heads at Bait
Lake City, was designed to make the
Pacific coast more in line for effective
competition with the Atlantic and the
Panama canal with the Suez eunal.
"The significance of the readjustment
Is not at all great." continued Mr, Mil
ler. "It merely allowB a straight tariff
through to the orient, with differentials
adjusted so that all Pacific coast porta
may get an even chance. A good deal
of traffic, of course, will be routed
through Portland, but Portland handlers
will not notice any difference."
The reduction is believed to be a re
sult of a conference of steamship of
ficials representing practically all the
Pacific coast lines, held at the Mult
nomah hotel some months ago In which
the movement for uniform differentials
was set afoot to avoid complications at
the port of destination. Mr. Miller said
so far no negotiations had been made
with th steamship lines, but expected
these negotiations would follow.
