The inarket for apples abroad Is very
poor, and prices generally are reported
lower. Regarding the situation, the
Northwestern Fruit -Exchange says:
"Cables from Kurope today report a
market about 50 cents. per box under
American parity. This -regrettable sit
uation has been brought about by un
seasonably heavy shipments from this
side, some of which nave been in more
or less weak condition. One large co
operative agency has apparently be
come par.lcky and has been dumping
large quantities of fruit into the Eu
ropean markets, and has contributed
largely to the resulting demoralization.
In one Hamburg sale recently over 8000
boxes were offered in their name alone.
This In the face of a strong and ad
vancing domestic market. As long as
the export markets are regarded as a
dumping ground by panicky operators
tacking experience In the; export trade,
so long will they be dangerous to all
alike and subject to violent slumps.
"This exchange lias emphasized re
peatedly the folly of entering tht Eu
ropean markets at all unless the ship
per is prepared to map out a schedule
of shipments before the season regu
lar, moderate shipments, "jid adhere
to that schedule with little or no varia
tion. To stay out of the markets
awhile and then to loosen a flood of
shipments is simply suicidal, espe
cially in Germany, where there are no
storage facilities, and where the mar
ket fluctuates in strict accordance with
the visible and floating supplies.

SHIPPERS' WEATHER NOTICE
Sistintf that the only way to handle
the export markets was by insisting
on firm f. o. b. sales. Every
one will wish they had stuck to this
P lfcy through the season instead of
abandoning it at the critical period of
the mar'iet.
Fortunately, this exchange's sched
ule km- iiie past lew weeks has been
extremely light s-o while it will be
caught for a few cars, its enrlir hlp-h
sales will be aole to absorb the few
lower ones and still show a premium
over the American average. Also it
has cancelled its March steamship en
gagements, and after arrived or float
ing shipments are cleared it will be
cleaned up. However, owners of large
quantities thai are being sold by other
interests will undoubtedly in some
cases suffer quite severe losses."

to the south as soon as rested. They
came from eastern Oregon where the

The market for cattle was general

very good stuff came forward and this
helped to put prices to a higher level
than would be shown ordinarily with

While a few lots of extra fancy

With the big run in sight and with , Oregon

Sheep Situation Today.
Market for mutton was steady and
generally considered unchanged from
Saturday at the opening of the week s
trade. There was a rather liberal run
over Sunday, totals being 2174 head
compared with 3197 last week, 2526 a
year ago and 1038 head this same day
two years ago.
The greater run of mutton in the
yards ot late has left killers with am

but they are keen to take hold of addi
tional supplies ai ine same price nnst.
At Chicago there was a steady tope

Ileal famine is shown in the sup
plies of wheat at Pacific Northwest
points. Stocks of the cereal are so
limited in the interior that even lead
ing operators are at their wit's end to
discover farmers who have offerings
to sell.
The lack, of business at this time is
attributed entirely to the lack of of
ferings. Kurope is keen after supplies
both here and on the Atlantic sea
board and better values have been
available recently. Some business con
tinues to pass in the east and middle
west for export account but offers for
cargoes here are unconfirmed -because
sellers are unable to discover the
wheat.
While there has been no change in
the price offered for wheat here dur
ing the last few daya, the market is
firmer and if would not be surprising
for some of the Interior mills to force
a runaway market for remaining small
lots.
Although there is great strength in
the local market for wheat, the situa
tion for both oats and barley continues
stagnant with prices unchanged.

New York, March 2. Trading was
interrupted in the stock market today
by the lack of wire connection most of
the way with some of the leading cen
ters. This was ihe occasion for thei
room crowd to sell a few shares and
this together with the influence of
small liquidation in London and Paris,
gave the general market a lower price.

England, it was stated positively,

The president declared that reports
of & coalition of foreign powers
against the United States' Mexican
policy were unfounded. No attempt,
he added, had been made to float
Huerta loan abroad.
Secretary of State Bryan received
an assurance from General Carranza
that the latter was Investigating the

Senator Sheppard of Texas told the
president this afternoon that Governor

St. .Louis, Mo., March 2. Seeking a
remedy for the social evil. St. Louis
at midnight yesterday, by order of the
board of police commissioners, closed
the segregated district after a' cam
paign of gradual elimination carried
on for the last six months. Determined
to rid the city of its "rotten spot" the
commissioners some time ago began
to restrict tne UDerties of the vice zone
and a month ago announced that dis
orderly houses must close on March 1.
Plenty of time was allowed so that
the inmates could either leave the city
or go to work.
Of the 62 houses in the district, 18
are said to have closed during the past
month. When the order was issued
there were 148 women in the various
houses, but the police were unable to
state tonight! how many" were still in
the city. The police believe that many
f the women of the underworld have
departed and' that many others are pre
paring to leave the city.
Mayor Chamberlain of East St. Louts
has declared his intention of prevent
ing the wpmen of the St. Louis district
moving to "The Valley" In East St.
Louis.
The order of the commission is the
city's ' second ' real , attempt to solve
the problem. Years ago a law was
passed providing for the licensing of
prostitutes and for medical ex am In a-
Vancouver, Wash., March 2. During
the month of February a total of 126
marriage licenses were issued at the
office of the county auditor. This was
fewer than during any of the preced
ing eight months. Of the total num
ber issued last month, 47 were se
cured by couples giving Portland as
their place of residence, and 38 to
couples residing in other Oregon cit
ies. The number of licenses issued
to couples residing in Washington was
23, and seven licenses were issued to
couples, one person a resident : of
Washington and the 'other 'a resident
of Oregon. Three licenses were issued
to couples, one person living in Wash
ington and the other in some other
state; six to 'couples, one a resident
of Oregon and the other of some
other state, and two licenses to cou
ples, neither one a resident of Wash
ington or Oregon.
The fees derived from licenses dur
ing February amounted to $567, near
ly $400 of which was paid by Oregon
couples. The amount received from
licenses Issued to Portland couples
was $221.50. and from codples from
other Oregon points $171.
Licenses were issued featurday to
the following couples: J. B, Hewett
and Miss Dessie Deason. both of Lyle;
F. W. Rohde and Miss Bessie Moir,
both of Portland; Earl O. Davis of
Los Angeles and Miss Flora B. Bal
lard of Portland: John Edward Sim

Chicago, March 2. Good action was
recorded in wheat futures for the day,
a display of weakness under very heavy
selling of May being the feature of the
first hour, a stubborn market in July
at the same time and both months
given a quick upturn later. At the
close May ran c lower but July did
not get under 88 c.
First Influence for th trade at the
opening was the weak and lower Liver
pool cable. At the same lime Min
neapolis reported a large run of 735

a special cable from India gave
acreage but little short of last year.
Independent of this bearish news the
feature in the trade was the selling of
about 2,000,000 bushels of May wheat
the first hour, about half of this
through one LaSalle street house and
the other half coming from a group of
Individual pit leaders. The selling re
ferred to gave the brnak In May a
fraction under 94c. About the same
time the trade began to get adverse
crop news from Omaha. St. Louis, Kan
sas City and St. Joe, Mo. The reports
claimed that wheat raisers are discov
ering injury to the roots of the plant
from freezing and thawing and heav
ing of the ground. The support in July
appeared to have am influence on the
trade in May and the two months ad
vanced together. Northwest and south
west markets turned strong as quickly
as incgo aiier an eariy aip.

Cleave, whose life the past Bix months
has been a series of escapades and
who now is a prisoner in the county
jail awaiting the action of the grand
jury on a statutory charge, may have
another chance to redeem herself. Mrs.
Van Cleave is 17 years old. Her
maiden name was Pearl Boyd. She .
was married last August to Newton
Van Cleave, They were married while
she was in the local hospital recover- j
ing from self-inflicted wounds, when ,
she attempted suicide by shooting,
after her grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth .
May, had forbidden her to receive at- '
tcntlons from Van Cleave. Van Cleave
soon left his wife and went to Oregon '
City. After the separation she refused
to return to her grandmother's home, 1
and fell in with bad companions. Since !
her last arrest she has expressed re- j
pentance, and District Attorney God- i
win will make ah effort to bring about i
means for giving her an opportunity j
to lead a better life. He has cited her i
grandmother and husband to appear
in juvenile court before Judge Carter,
March 3, when her case will be considered.
CARRANZA TO SETTLE
ALL DIPLOMATIC POINTS
IN FUTURE, SAYS VILLA
Chihuahua, Mexico, March 2. ."I'm
soldier, not a diplomat," said General
Villa here today, "and hereafter all
questions involving foreign relations
must be referred to General Carranza,
who is supreme."
Villa's statement was taken as an
acknowledgement of Carranza'a -right
to dictate in the Benton matter, and as
an acquiescence in the tatter's atti
tude that the Englishman's execution
was a subject to be discussed by the
rebel chieftain with the British gov
ernment and not with the Washington
administration.
Inasmuch as Villa had previously
shown no disinclination to go into the
case with American representatives, he
was practically admitting that his su
perior had overruled him. It was the
pretty general impresssion, however,
that Carranza's policy had given him
a new idea, and that the point was one
on which he was distinctly glad to be
overruled. Considerable doubt was
expressed whether he would have sub
mitted so quietly if he had been called
on to bow to a decision he did not like.
Villa denied, incidentally, that pass
ports had been refused to the members
of the Benton commission. For that
matter, he said, no passports were
needed. He gave it as his opinion that
the Washington administration had de
cided not to send the commission to
Chihuahua City, preferring to settle
the Benton controversy through diplo
matic channels.
