' market for heris and- springs and even
15o wan talked of in limited ways,
J other dealer were reporting that thy !
Yould he nwlte willing to accept 14c
toclean up. This fact would Indi
cate" that thei entire market was by
Tic mean strong.
Recnipts of chickens In the Front,
iitreet trade showed a rather liberal
Increase during? the flrpt days of the.
week. Buyers are, much less keen to
take hold at this time tnan they were
last week or even on Monday. A few
mall lots were sold at fractionally
higher prices, hut the. his buyers were
holding back, rlalminsr tnat tncy had
ample needs for Immediate require
ments and expected to buy for less
within a day or ho.
There it a rather Rood demand for
large sixed Tekln dinks, but few
of these are arriving. The market Is
showing nulte fair stocks of Indian
Runners of small slr.-. but these are
not so firm priced. Dealers generally
were SKkinsr 13c. but buyers were not
offering above 12c a pound.
VEAL MAUKKT IS DRAGGING

.f weakness and lower prics. During
the luit 24 hours there were quit lib

heads, others arc offering down to $1
for similar offerings.

Market for eggs continues mixed
nlnnjr the street. Some boosting in
terests wanted to know where they
could obtain eX at mark at 31c

more, bluff than strength In the trade
at this ttme.
fJRAPEFRTJlT SALKS ARE GOOD

POTATO MARKET IS A
DULL AFFAIR HERE
WITH SUPPLIES GOOD
Retail Trade Is Storked l'p and
t'ntil Surplus la Worked Off
There Is Not Likely to Be Much
of a Movement in Local Market.
Potato market is showing a dragging
tendency along Front street at this
time, with practically no buying now
reported at country points. Growers
are offering more freely, and lower
prices have been generally named at
Willamette valley poUits.
Along Front street as high as $1.25
a rental is still obtained in a limited
way for selected stock, with ordinary
down as low as $1, but the outward
movement has been disappointing dur
ing recent days.
In a measure this is due to the fact
that most of the trade stocked up
'luite heavily during the last few
wneks. when there " were indications
that local offerings would be scarce
and unable to fill the requirements of
fhn lrii1. T'.IM V. t .... I- nrA
..... u . . i. iiiii i"i;nc Rim no . air .
worked off there is not likelv to he ;
much of a movement in the jobbing
trade here. There is no outside de
mand; in fact other markets are of
fering to sell at lower prices thali the
local market is quoting.

Thenc was s further sham advance
In the price of wheat cargoes abroad
tuuay, wiin an excellent tone ruling in
the situation generally. While it is
true that Dractically no business Is re
ported here, owing to the congested
condition of the trade, due to the late
arrival of vessels for foreign loading,
me reeling in the trade Is rather
steady at home, and in the country the
situation continues firm.
What is believed to b- orders for
flour for the German army is shown
in me traae generally mrougnout tne
country. Some of the biggest mills in
the United States have been asked to
quote prices on all available supplies
for shipment to Holland Immediately,
and big business is expected to result.
While so far as known none of this
has reached the Pacific northwest
trade, it is the opinion of the trade
that whatever foreign business is done
among other millers of the country
will have an indirect effect upon the
market here.

MILLION DOLLAR LOSS
CAUSED BY GERMANS'
TAH1TIB0MBARDMENT
Papeete Offered No- Resist
ance but Germans Shelled
It Anyway.
ffnlted Press Leased Wire 1
San Francisco. Oct. . 7. That the
German cruisers , Gniesenau and
Scharnhorst. which bombarded the
port of" Papeete, Tahiti, inflicted a
loss of more than $1,000,000 on the
business district of the city was the
word brought here by officers of the
American steamship Moana, which ar
rived in port today.
According to - the Moana's officers
the port offered no resistance what
ever to the German warships, but de
spite this, tha cruisers sailed Into the-
harbor and began their bombardment.
The Moana also brought confirmation
of' the sinking by these cruisers of
the French gunboat Zeele in the wa
ters off Papeete. The destruction by
the Germans of a French prise shin.
the Walkura, also was described by
the officers.
The bombardment killed two, a na
tive and a Japanese . chauffeur, who
was cut in two by a piece of a shell
Moana officers also declared they
had picked up wireless messages In
German code Monday, the dispatches
apparently coming from the Mexican
I coast.

Growers are showing so much anxiety
to unload at this time that they are
willing to accept anything that the
dealers have to offer.
The situation is entirely in the
nanas or the brewing interests at this
time. The heavy offering has given
them an opportunity to stock up at
the lowest prices In years and those
that have not yet purchased are hold
ing oxi in anticipation of lower prices
being forced.

of the general situation:

SMALL FORTUNE IS
REPRESENTED IN LIST
OF PRIZES OFFERED
Five Thousand Dollars Value
of Inducements in Journal's
Trade Contest.
Five thousand dollars is a small
sized fortune and it takes most peo
ple a good many years to save the
sum.. And that is the value of the
prizes which The Journal Is offering
to wide-awake people who Join In the
Circulation and Trade Contest that
Is now under way.
Opportunity to take a short cut to
me possession or an automobile, a
piano or grafdnola, does not offer
itself every day, and no one has yet
reported anyone giving away tickets
to the Panama Pacific Exposition with
expenses paid. But such things are
included, in The Journal's prize list.
and you might as well get in and win
a prize as anyone else.
The' way it is done will be explained
fully tomorrow in The Journal's adver
tising columns. Keep an eye open, clip
out the nominating blank, fill in your
name and forward it to The Journal.
Merchant Axe Alainf.
It is' said: "No one gets something
for nothing." Nor do they in this con
test. But a number of persons are
going to win as prizes articles which
otherwise they would have to save for
years to buy. And to do it they will
only have to put in odd hours between
now and the 24th day of February,
when the contest closes.
In this big game local manufacturers
and- retailers have joined with The
Journal. As a result contestants and
their friends can make virtually every
move of their everyday life pile up
votes. In short one can eat, wear and
read one's way to the prizes.
For example there are almost 100
stores in the city where every cent's
purchase means one vote in the con
test Isabels and trademarks on articles in
the "Manufacturer's List," have a vot
ing power and every cent paid in on
"paid in advance" subscriptions to The
Journal, dally, Sunday or semi-weekly,
means more votes-
It is a worth while proposition
something that opens wide the doors of
opportunity and offers, to energetic
people chances to gain prizes of value
far in excess of the amount of work
the contest imposes.
Watch for tomorrow's Journal, read
the rules, ascertain the names of the
firms where your business will gain
you votes, then plunge in. If you
dont wish to try, help a friend who
does.

CITY COUNCIL WILL
TAKE ACTION FRIDAY
ON WATER MEASURE
sasssaaaaaWBBaassaBBaaaaBsaiaaB t
Special Election Date Will Be
Set by the City Auditor Tomorrow,
REDUCTION IS PLANNED
Quarterly Payment Plan Designed to
Decrease Operating Expenses of
the Water Bureau.
Owing to the fact that no date has
yet heen set for the special election,
the city . council this morning could
not take, action on the ordinance to
be submitted to t,he people at the
election providing for the quarterly
payment of all water bills, reducing
the minimum rate for water from 75
cents to 60 cents a month and pro
viding for billing of statements to
the premises where the. water is !
used. As City Auditor Barbur pro- I
poses tomorrow to set the election j
date action on the ordinance will be j
taken Friday.
Quarterly payments mean a reduc-
Uon in the operating expenses of the j
water bureau and hence a reduction I
in water rates, according to 'Will H. j
Daly, commissioner of public utlli-
Hp-k. and sponsor for the plan. By
collecting quarterly when tlie bills are
due instead of monthly as at present
it Is said a saving of $60,000 a year
will result.
The adoption of the measure would
also mean that in the future it will
be unlawful for the water bureau to
raise the minimum rate for water
above 50 cents a month. .At present
city ordinances prohibit private com
panies from charging more than a
50 cent minimum yet the water bu
reau has been compelled to keep the
minimum up to 75 cents a month.
u ' neiu mai in Dining 10 tne
premises the water bureau is as-
sured that the bills will be paid for
if not paid when due the bureau may
shut off the water and no more will
be delivered at the premises until the
accounts are settled. While this plan
holds the landlord responsible It
holds a number of advantages for
those who rent houses. it will do
away with the bother of having the
consumer going to the water offices
to have the water turned on when he
moves into a house.
In a great number of cases land
lords collect their rents from te.n-
nants In advance and under the pro-
posed arrangement it would only be
necessary for the landlord to collect
for the: water rentals also, and hence
it would make no difference If the
plred for the landlord would have
the money to pay for the water,
The quarterly payment plan will
reduce the number of clerks In the
bureau and mean less work to the
bureau in general. It would mean
only four quarterly bills a year to
each consumer instead of 13 as at
present.

Blue Triangle Braud of Rogue RiVep Pears Sets
Season's Market Price in New Y$k; Secret
Is in Packing. J
MILK CONDENSERY BEING IIIbNLARGED
The "Blue Triangle" brand of Rogue
River pears is carrying off all tha
laurels this season. The other day
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange of
this city, agents for the Rogue River
Kruit and Produce association of Med
ford, announced the sale of a carload
of Buerre Bosc at an average In New
York of $2.15 per half box, equal to
$4.30 per box. Now comes the report
of sale, in New York yesterday, by
the exchange of the first .car of "Blue
Triangle" Cornice of the season at
prices which establish the season's
record of the -whole New York market,
which. In high grade pears, is to say
the world's market. This car con
tained 423 half boxes of Blue Tri
angle Cornice which averaged $2.S9
per half box, equal to $5.78 per stand
ard, or full box. The car also con
tained an experimental lot of 57
"trays- or single layer boxes, which
have been recommended by the' ex
change's London manager for several
years, and which realised $1.60 por
tray, or the equivalent of about $6
per box.
This wonld seem to show the wis-
dom of this sort of package for
Cornice of the finest selections, as this
package is designed to protect the
fruit from bruising which so dis-
i figures is.
'. The idea is taken from the French
i growers who pack all their finest
, Cornice in this manner. Thin car also
i contained 3S0 "Re,! Triangle" th
next best crade of Comice in half
j boxes, which averaged $2.34, a really
, phenomenal price, and 15 half boxes
: of D Aniou completed the cjr with an
. average of Si. 70. Th vhni cor
grossed $2105.67
The nearest approach to this record
made by the Santa Clara valley. Cali
fornia, Cornice was recorded on Kep-
. tember 11. When a fa, nf th. i -
brated "Block" brand averaged $182
per half box, which is- $1.07 per half
box lower than ih. m t, -,,.,
j halves, and even 52c ner half ho i...
than the Red Triangle, the number
two grade of the Rogu River associa
tion. The -value of organization, fa
cilities, management and sales facili
ties are splendidly Illustrated In this
sale, as other brands of Rogue River
pears, sold in New York yesterday,
under identical conditions of market,
etc., realized far less. One car of
this Independent fruit brought for
Cornice halves $2.07, another mark
