POULTRY PRICES DROP ONE.GB IT WITH HEAVY OVER SUPPLY AT HAND 1WAR DEADENS EXPORT EASTERN SCARCITY IN FRUIT MARKET, BUT OATS GIVES THE LOCAL AGENTS ARE HOPEFUL TRADE . AN . INCREASE Chicken Market . Far From Steady at Quotations of 14 and 10c; Weakness Develops Early and The overloaded poultry market final ly broke under the strain today and prices for hens and springs dropped off a cent Poultry -dealers along ti:e street report that the supply of chickens coming: to the market yester day was the largest they have seen, with the exception of holiday period when the demand la good, in a long time. Many crates had to be held overnight and the market opened with the greatest weakness thia mornlag. The 16c and 17c prices began to break at once to 14 c and 10c, and at noon the market wat far from steady at" 14c and 16c. Further drops were -peuted before the close 'of the day. One of the large Portland packing houses has been buying heavily from local commission houues each night this week and shipping the live birds to Seattle. These buys have given tone to the market and kept It fairly steady. The prediction Is being made that if this concern should drop out ot the field now, the chicken market will go to pieces. The demand Is about the same as It 'has been, but ranchers are mostly through with their harvesting now, and are cleaning up their stock fnr the winter. This is the explanation of the commission men.

A promising view of the export situation in connection with the Euro pean war Is given In a report to the Northwestern Fruit Exchange just submitted by one of the prominent European fruit operators who is now ! In the United States. . He advocates the utilization of the London' market this year, even if no business can be transacted in conti nental Europe. His exuresston In this respect is based upon the promising! view in regard to shipping. In part he says: . 1 "Today we have been advised by our steamshio friends that to a creat extent from September onwards, they contem KVSSXAJT OOP CASU3 4 XdverpooL Aug. 2& Xtossia ha agreed to permit the x , portatioa of cereals from cer 4 tain sections of the country to 4 the allies and neutral nations.

Although the prevailing price is 99& 9,60 per box, some dealers were, quot . Ing today at $8.60. Naturally, with the high price, the demand Is very light. The first big break, however, Is expected lrom the shipping end. California holders. It is asserted, have been figuring that the Sicily supply would be shut off from export on ac count of the war. AS a matter of fact, this supply is coming as usual. As a result the gradual easing" off is noticeable everywhere. SMALL APPLES NOT WANTED Local dealers in apples are advis ing the producers that small sized Inferior apples are a drug on the market., That such a condition exists can bo seen In a walk along Front street. Tne call for any kind of suples right now is very limited, and the best Gravensteins aro not. bring ing more than $1.26. The foreign de mand Is entirely shut off apparently, and the small demand that does exist is only for the choicest stuff. SUPPLY OF HALIBUT SCARCE A temporary scarcity in the supply of fresh halibut was noticeable today, and the minimum quotation of 4c of yesterday went to 6c. The top val ue Of 8c remained stationary. With the arrival of several schooners Mon day, Increased supply is anticipated for early next week. POTATO MARKET STIFFENS UP ng 1 the to their potato supplies.' and the mar ket has a stiff tone. It is said tho producers are expecting war prices to be paid a little later, and they are not ambitious to sell. Commission buyers are paying the farmers $1 1.10. . CAR LOCAL ONIONS ARRIVES If thia la so, and -we get the benefit or reasonable rates or irelgnt ana in surance, then a free export movement of apples will be possible." 'Traits Drag Market.

The 80 and per cent, medal shoots occur each after noon after the special events, and a number of medals are being awarded, As a result of revelations made re garding the record of C. M. Hurlburt. Republican candidate for joint repre sentative in the state, legislature from Multnomah and Clackamas counties, the executive committee of the Repub lican central committee met last night and decided to make an investigation of Hurlburt's past with the Intention of asking him to withdraw from the race if the grounds are deemed Justl f table. Chairman George J. Cameron of the committee said that investigation would be made at once into the many suits that have been brought against Hurlburt, the reason for there being unsatisfied Judgments against him, the circumstances which led to his arrest n September, 1912, on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. and the circumstances which induced him to use an assumed name when he was employed by the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company and also wnen he negotiated a loan through a local firm of bankers. Hurlburt seems to have lust bobbed up and nobody teems to know much about him," said Mr. Cameron' today, dui we intend to make an lnvestiga tlon. 1 have talked with him already and he says he is ready to explain everything." May Be Asked to Resign. Mr. Cameron said' there was no way the Republican committee could re move a candidate, and that all the committee could do. In case it desired to take such action, will be to ask Hurlburt to resign, and If he refuses, to withdraw the committee's support or put out an independent candidate. Hurlburt says he was arratei in 1912 on complaint Of J. A. Rosen as a result of a trade Hurlburt negotiated wun Moiue js. Wright. Hurlburt trad ed two lots he owned In Prosaer, Wash., for some household furniture. He said that Rosen was rooming at .mro. wrignis at tne time and after the trade Hurlburt ordered him off the place for non-payment of rent. He sam it os en then caused Mrs. "Wright to become dissatisfied with the trade and the warrant for Hurlburt's arrest resulted. He said the matter was set. tied by canceling the trade. Regarding hie use of an assumed name, Hurlburt said that in 1907 he came to Portland from eastern Ore gon and had only $15, and was urgent ly in need of a Job. He Bald he had a friend by the name of C. C. Booth, who was an experienced railroad man and had excellent recommendations. He borrowed Booth's name and rec ommendations and applied to the O. W. P. company, one of the predeces sors of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company, for a Job as train man. ' Recommendation B landed Jobs. "The company was employing expe rienced men at that time." said Hurl burt, "and "1 would have had no show to get a Job without those recommen dation a I got the Job and worked for the company four months as conductor. "Before going to work I had to have a uniform, and I didn't have any money with which to buy one. so Pres ident Fields of the company tele- j phoned to Ashley & Rumelin to let me have $20 and charge it to my salary account' In reply to a question, however, Hurlburt admitted that the loan was still unpaid. Hurlburt admitted that there was a Judgment for $500 standing against him In the circuit court, as the result of a suit brought by George Burback, for whose saloon Hurlburt traded and gave two notes in part payment. Suit was brought on a note for $500, and Judgment to entered against Hurl burt for the full amount. Burback's attorney said he found that the, property upon which mort gages were given by Hurlburt to se cure the notes was practically worth less, and so he sued on the note In stead of foreclosing the mortgage. Hurlburt says that Burback never would have brought suit If it had not been for his attorney, and that Bur back has offered to settle the matter if Hurlburt will pay the hosts, which Hurlburt Said he was going to do. Sanies Presentation of rlfi, Regarding the claim of the city of Portland against Hurlburt for $250, the amount for which he obligated himself as bondsman for 8. J. Mandich, who appealed from a conviction on the charge of disorderly conduct and "Jumped his bond, Hurlburt said the claim had never been presented to him. The records state mat nuriDurt could not be located In the county. Hurlburt says he has been In the city almost constantly for the last five years. Most of the other suits against him. he said, were foreclosure of mortgages, and the property was good for the amounts involved. be host at this occasion also.

Oregon City. Aug. 28. The one ques tion the physicians allowed Sheriff Mass to ask Charles Bernier at St. Vincent's hospital Thursday afternoon. "How were you hurt?" resulted In the answer: "1 tell from an apple tree." Bernier was found in his bed Tues day morning with a badly crushed skull, and has been hovering between life and death since then. The au thorities have been considering two theories, one that he was assaulted in his bed, and the other that he fell or was thrown into a culvert on the elec tric line a few hundred yards from his home, and reached the bouse In some way. The latter theory is believed by Sheriff Mass now, and he says he does not believe Mrs. Bernier had anything to do with her husband's In Jury, as was at first thought probable. The officer carefully questioned Mrs. Bernier Thursday, and she held to her original version that she had found her husband lying, injured, on a couch id their house at t o'clock Tuesday morning, and carried him up to his bed. . - . Berniefs answer to Sheriff Mass' question is not given credence aa the real cause Of the Injury. His answer is credited to the fact that he had been picking apples from his trees Monday afternoon. The officers think the only chance for a solution of the matter will be Bernier's complete recovery. Boosters Now on Their Way Home Marshfleld. Or Aug. 28.
