VKAIj MARKET IS VERY WEAK
Market for veals Is very weak along
the Ktreet, especially for anything
that does not show extra fancy qual
ity. An a rente sales are being re
ported at a 1oh of Vic to lc a pound
from last wr'ok's values.

KPKIXG CHICKENS ARE WEAK
While there Is by no means a strong
tone in the trade for hens, that branch
of" the poultry market Is good com
pared with the call lor springs. The
latter are. dragging, with buyers un
willing to keep the market cleaned up

BUTTER TRA)E IS WEAKER
Furffier weakness is shown In the
market for butter locally. While
' there has been no general cutting of
Values, considerable shading is re
ported, especially among the smaller"
outblde creameries.
Further heavy business is reported
in the hop market with average sales
from 9c to 114c a pound. A few
extra select lots which always sell
above the general market have been
sold at 1212'c a pound, but so few
lots have been sold at these values
that they can scarcely be considered
as a market factor.
Much of the business that lias been
passing in the hop trade has been in
the Dallas section reeentlv. although
pales have been reported from almost
every district of the Willamette valley.
While there is much activity In the

nothing developing, in other statin.

Chicago Wheat Has
Depressed Session
Chicago Oct. 9. Wheat cjosed (rp
c a bushel lower than yesterday.
Opening figures were at a loss of c
for December and c for May.
The market acted under influence of
strong interests who are trying their
utmost to-keep prices depressed until
they can accumulate a long line of
stuff. After the opening the market
developed-strength witli an advance of
lc to lVsic over initial prices. Sell
ing by big interests brought the
market to the low point, recovering
but little just previous to the closing.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that wheat was steady with lighter
Canadian receipts and continued
unfavorable reports from Aus
tralia. These were ofset bv an

Steers are showing a rather good de
mand in the North Portland yards to
day, and further sales are reported at
$7 for tops, which has been the price
for a limited amount during the last
day or so. There was only a small run
of cattle reported in the yards for the
day. While killers have ample sup
plies of cows on hand, there is a dearth
of steer holdings, and in this line the
condition of the trade remains quite
fair.
At Chicago there was a steady tone
in the cattle trade for the day, prices
being unchanged.
Kansas City cattle market niled
strong, with an advance of 5c over yes

Governor Speaks
At Junction City
Oreffonian Misquotes West's Address at
Eugene Tart Wight; What Ee Sid
Say at Meeting. v
Eugene, Or., Oct, 9.- Governor West
was grossly misquoted by the Port
land Oregonian in the article report
ing the governor's (address here last
night. The governor, did not say "that
he was going to admit that Mr. Booth
got every dollar of his money hon
estly." j
The governor declared, instead, that
if the vicious attacks on Senator
Chamberlain by the Oregonian and
Booth's supporters did not cease he
was going to tell what he knows about
where Mr. Booth got his timber and
his wealth.
"As to Mr. Booth's wealth," he said
in his address, "it is admitted that he
is a millionaire; there is no dispute
about that. It is admitted that he
made it out of timber; there is no dis
pute about that. The only question is,
-wnere aia ne get lt r
"I know where he got it. I. was
state land agent at the time the, Ques
tion as to where Mr. Booth .Kot his
timber was up, and I have personally
seen the records which show where he
got it. If the Oregonian and the Booth
supporters continue their vicious at
tacks on Senator Chamberlain, I am
going to tell what-1 know about where
Booth got his timber."
The governor reviewed the fight he
has made, to protect the interests of
the taxpayers against the extravagant
of legislatures, and discussed various
issues of the campaign.

In an extraordinary effort to aid
the commercial prosperity of Oregon
and. the Pacific northwest, the Port
land Association of Credit Men has
sent the following appeal broadca&t to
the wholesalers, bankers and manu
facturers of Oregon. Copies are like
wise being sent to all members of the
local association as well as to every
credit men's association in the Ignited
States and to the national association
in New York City: -
You have in the past extended credit
with a generous hand, in numerous
cases lavishly, and every worthy ap
plicant lor credit (ami untortunalely,
some who were Unworthy) liax re
ceived credit accommodations which. I
114 the sum total of the business doiiu
throughout the territory naturally
tributary to Portland, has amounted
to millions of dollars. You have car
ried for months together retailers,
contractors and others requiring
credit for thousands of dollars, where
the only assurance of your receiving
your money was and is the character
and integrity of the debtor. For the
purpose of increasing and expanding
your trade you have sought to open
the avenues of credit and make them
as safe and smooth to tread as lay
within your power.
This is not the time t" stop. Every
time you reduce the credit limit of a
customer from $2000 to $1000 you con
tract the medium through which busi
ness is done to the exVent of $1000.
It is equal to taking $1000 in money
out of the channels of trade.
Therefore, we ask you to now be
careful; to use the utmost caution;
for thee are times in which the credit
grantor should he especially diligent,
painstaking and patient in order that
he may with all the skill and poise at
his command grant all the credit thai
can safely be extended and not un
necessarily or from undue alarm con
tribute to any possible depression.
The appalling destruction of life and
property at present goin on in Europe
will necessarily cause vast readjust
ment in commercial lines and in many
cases entire reconstruction. While
these conditions have already made
themselves felt in restricting the trade
of the northwest in certain lines, yet
tho skillful and broadminded grantor
or cremt win not allow these condi
tions to make him panic stricken: on
the contrary he will exercise the ut
most care and diligence, and avail
himself or all sources of information
in order that he may not contribute
in the least to the restriction of legiti
mate trade.
The true optimist, instead of becom
ing panicky, will face the conditions
calmly; investigate them patiently and
instead of doing or saying anything
that will In the least be suggestive of
undue severity, will take the debtor
into his confidence. Investigate, his
conditions fully and counsel and ad
vise him and assist him in every way
compatible with good business.
We ned not ask you to be loyaj to
your state, to your community, to the
concern whose Interests you are pro
tecting and to the principles of good
business. We do not ask you to be
careless, but we sincerely hope you
will not use undue severity in enforc
ing collections, or taking any steps
whatever from which you can possibly
refrain, that will tend to contract the
credit of our territory.
"Booster stuff" is all very well in
its place, but now Is the time for
calm Judgment, cool deliberation, and
the very strongest of cooperation be
tween sales departments .and credit
departments. A
Let us take our cue from Texas, and
instead of yielding to pessimism, buy
a load of lumber, or buy a case of
salmon, pay for it and store it away
until after this temporary depression
is past, and in the near future our
labor and patience will be rewarded
by such prosperity as the northwest
has never seen.
Business Conditions Reviewed.
In Its monthly letter, the Merchants
National bank of - this city says of
business conditions:
While it is taking time to bring
order out of the financial chaos
brought on by the European war, a
great many fundamental moves have
been started, a number of minor con
ditions have been set right, and every
one who can lend a hand at this tlmo
is aiding in the work- of reconstruc
tion. We are again getting under way
the upward movement which was in
evidence before the war began. The
industrial situation in the east is so
far improved that many lines that
curtailed their output are now run
ning full time. This is true of wool
ens, textiles, duck cloth of all kind,
shoes and wearing apparel. Kspecial
ly is this the case in those lines which
can be utilized by the warring nations.
All except Germany and Austria are
able to get anything they may order.
And 6ince there Is no evidence of peace
being in sight business dealings inter
nationally and locally are being ar- l
ranged on a continuance of present
conditions. It is good for the United.
States to have to do things for
itself and to know how readily it can
get along without outside assistance
if it makes up its mind to do so.
. Foreign exchange has declined, there
Is a better demand, since crop mov
ing, by the country banks for com
mercial paper. Other factors in the
general improvement are the increase
in railroad rates that soon becomes
effectigfj: the iu reasc in foreign trade
in SeTftember, i jwer freight cars are
idle, and buildjys-operations are Im
proving. "
It is well to -ffep in mind th nega
tive influences .it work. Conditions
are very trregiiljii In; the merchandise
centers', the opening of the stock ex
changes is notMJe,terrnined and uncer
tainty will exls:until it Is known what
the effect wil be. Financial condi
