ada despite the tulle among former
Importers that there would be prac
tically none i.roueht in this direction
tola season.
., --The fact remains that sales of Chi
: nea eggs are being made in this m-ir
aet without the ultimate consumer
knowing that they come from the ori
nt. For Instance two bales have
been hefd by Washington street iu-
trt recently. The piles of Chi
nes egga were high but alongside of
them- were several Plymouth Kock
. hens, which tended to show the puu
11c that the eggs were fresh instead
.of having been imported some months
ago and have been held in storage lor
softie time.
One firm put up the sign "Ouaran
teed Kggs." but this does not in auy
way protect the public because '.he
supplies were merely guaranteed 10
be eggs and nothing was said as 1 1-
garas uualuy: While the average per
on reading the sign believed the guir
anteo to lover tne quality, no such
thin was said.
It is remarkable how few people
rea-ily know Chinese egga when they
aee them, although tney can. be ue
tec ted instantly by their dirty choco
late brown with reddish tint. The
ikkh ere smaller in size than the Amer
Kan product, ana so tar as looks are
concei ned are very uninviting. Kven

not fresh as it takes perhaps 60 days
to get Lhem from the producer to tne
market. As storage stock they cannot
be compared with the average domes
tic product.

OREGON FILBRETS ARE
HERE AND STOCKS ARE
OF SELECT QUALITY
First Shipment of Season Comes
From H. A. Kruse of Wilson
ville; Sizes Are Large and the
Nats Are of Good Flavor.
Oregon filbert nuts have opened
the Season here with the finest dis
play of quality cvor shown in the
local market. About 1000 uounds of
filberts were received at the whole
sale house of Mark Levy & Co. this
morning. The stock was of large ami
uniform size and was shipped in from
viiaonviiie by H. A. Kruse. a well
known grower of that place. The
stock was priced at ITc a pound.
i re moert nut crop or the state.
while f-mall Is showing an increase
over prrcoding years.
Local walnuts are not vet being
offered, but the crop is said to be
a tair one in the Willamette valley
this season. New acreage has come
into bearing for the first time tills
season, and the outlook is said to be
even better for the comintr season.
Oregon walnuts weigh about 20 per
cent more than the California stock
as a rule, and for that reason gen
erally command a higher price.

There was a slightly better feeling
in the hog trade at North Portland to
day and an advance of a dime was
forced In the price. While the run
was much smaller than last week's big
showing, there was quite a fair amount
of stuff reported in the yards over
Sunday, totals being 10US head com
pared with 2501 last Monday, 1284 a
year ago and 717 head this same day
two years ago.
All through the market there seems
to be more snap in the swine trade in

quickly paid the small advance quoted.

was a fair run of cattle in the yards
over Sunday, but trade started quite
fair considering the recent weakness.

AMERICANS ARE ABLE
TO SECURE FOOTHOLD
Iff JAPANESE TRADE
Interruption of Trade With Europe
on Account of War Gives This
Country a Great Chance, Writes
Ambassador Guthrie in Report.
A very valuable presentation of the
commercial situation in Japan and the
American Ambassador Oeoree W. !
Guthrie, stationed at Toklo. His re
port says:
Owing to the Interruption of trade
with Europe, there will be a great
opening for American trade in the far
east. But in order that the United
States may get the full benefit of. the
oportunity and retain the advantage
hereafter, some adequate arrangement
must be made for financing the busi
ness. Heretofore importers have been
obliged to arrange their credits through
Hongkong and London. As a conse
quence, .British trade dominated the
market,' and will again do so. on the
restoration of peace if the same condi
tions continue-
As shown in daily consular and trade
reports for "September IS, 1914. nearly!
one third of Japan's exports tin value,
$91,867,744) went to the United States,
and one sixth of Japan's imports (in
value $60,959,364) came from the
United States. Of these imports more
than half was cotton. Although the
exports exceeded the imports over, $30,
000,000. imports had to be paid for
through Hongkong and London.
On the other hand, although only 5.2
per cent of Japan's exports went to
Great Britain, 16.83 per cent of Japa
nese imports came from there.
As the clearings 'go through Hong
kong, the trade with British India
should be considered only 4.72 per cent
of Japan's exports having gone there,
while 23.74 per cent of the imports
came from there. . While this financial
dependence on London continues.
America's benefit from the "open door'
in the far east will probably be simply
a market for articles which can not be
obtained elsewhere. How complete
this dependence is appears from the
fact that the expenses of the embassy
itself must be paid by drafts on Lon
don. It may be that money is worth
too much in the United States in ordi
nary times to make it the central
clearing house; but while American
imports from Japan exceed exports
thereto by over $30,000,000, it would
seem that there should be no insuper
able difficulty in the way of arranging
clearings, say in New York or San
rranclsco, at least to tnat amount-
However, if the United States is to
improve and hold its trade in the far
east, an American bank clearing
through San Francisco or New York
and strona- enough to arrange the cred
its needed must "be provided. Offers
have already been refused because re
sponsible importers can not arrange
for credits in order to buy goods in
the United States.
The following report, prepared by
Joseph W. Ballantine. assistant Japa
nese secretary to this embassy, gives
some practical comments on tne proD
able effect of the present war on Amer
lean-Japanese trade:
The outbreak of war in Europe of
fers an excellent opportunity for the
extension of American trade n Japan
British factories are depleted of work
men, resulting in a decreased output.
higher prices, and long deliveries. Ger
man trade has practicalljr ceased. Con
sequently it will be possible to substi
tute American products in many lines
where Europe has hitherto enjoyed
practically a monopoly.
Especially is this true In the metal
and machinery trad- The bulk of the
high grade steel has been coming trom
Germany, but now Japan wilt have to
look to America for its supply. Amer
ican exporters should also do well In
pisrTron. which has been coming chief
ly from Great Britain and British In
dia. The prospects in locomotives are
favorable, in spite of the fact that
there are three factories in Japan that
manufacture locomotives. The trade
in railway materials, especially wheels
and axles, which have been supplied
mostly by the Krupp works in Ger
many, should now go to the United
States. Japan is already well equipped
with machinery, but the possibility for
further business is by no means ex
hausted. The raw cotton market, however, is
depressed on account of the demoral
ized condition of the Chinese markets,
as a great deal of the output of Japa
nese cotton mills, both yarns and fab
rics, is exported to China. Thepros
pects In wheat are very encouraging,
but the recent establishment of large
flour mills in this country precludes
the possibility of increasing to any
large extent the demand for American
flour.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
extension of American trade in Japan
is the question of finance. All credits
have to be arranged in London. Amer
ican bankers should render New York
as atractive as London for obtaining
money. The need for a greater Amer
ican merchant marine requires no com
ment. The withdrawal of middle Europe
from JaDanese trade offers a splendid
opportunity for American and British
merchants to do away with the pre
vailing system of credits, a system
that has had a pernicious effect on the
development of healthy business. Twen
ty years ago. before the 'establishment
here of German firms in large num
bers, foreign trade was on a cash basis.
At the time of making a contract
Japanese merchants were obliged to
make a payment of bargain money.
German houses, however, in order to
secure trade waived bargain money
and offered to accept promissory
notes first for 30 days, then for 60
days, and finally for 90 days. This
they were able to do on account of the
official backing of their government.
Other merchants, in order not to be
driven out of business, were obliged to
fall into line.
American exporters must be cau
tioned that Japanese buyers will not be
satisfied with goods that are below
standard. They also insist on a date
of delivery with a penalty.

OREGON MAY THANK

BIG APPROPRIATIONS
Senator's Place as Chairman

mittee Makes Him Power,
.POSTMASTER GIVES PRAISE
P. S. Myara Pinds Cabinet Members and
Senators Favoring' Beturn of Ore
gon Incumbent to Washington.
The people of Oregon can attribute
the liberal appropriation allowed by
the board of army engineers for Ore
gon's rivers arid harbors to the fact
that Senator George K. Chamberlain
is chairman of the powerful senate
committee on military affairs, accord
ing to Postmaster F. S. Myers, who re
turned yesterday from a visit to the
national capital.
Postmaster Myers went to Washing
ton on his vacation, the first he has
taken since being in office, to look
into a number of matters pertaining
to the $1,000,000 postoffice building to
be erected here. While there he talked
to Vice President Marshall and vari
ous cabinet officers, and without ex
ception they were strong in their
praise of the work being done by Ore
gon's senators and expressed the hope
that Senator Chamberlain will be re
elected. Wilson Wins Praise.
He also talked to refugees from war
stricken Kurope, where they had seen
and felt some of the realities of war,
and they without exception expressed
their gratefulness for the fact that
this nation was saved from being
plunged into war by the determined
and, wise stand of President Woodrow
Wilson for peace.
"I found the Oregon senators hard
at work attending the daily sessions
of the senate and their various com
mittee meetings," said Postmaster
Myers this morning. "Senator Cuam
berlain, being chairman of the com
mittee on military affairs, is one of
the most iAfluential men, not only
j in the senate, but in Washington. His
I committee carries an annual appro
priation of over $100,000,000. and had
I not Oregon had a senator at the head
! of this powerful committee, the peo
1 pie of Oregon could not have hoped
. for the liberal share which has been
allotted to Oregon rivers and har
bors by the board of army engineers.
Oregon Well Treated.
"It is a great tribute to Senator
Chamberlain that Oregon has re
ceived nearly one tenth of the entire
$-0,000,000 appropriation made by
the present congress for river and
harbor improvement throughout the
United States.
"Several cabinet members with
whom 1 conferred expressed their
earnest wish that Senator Chamber
lain should be reelected. They spoke
In highest praise of his high effi
ciency as a senator and his valuable
services to the administration.
"Senator lane. with his old time
courage and forcefulness, is making
I a splendid record. He is keeping close
I track of all matters pending, and
I does not hesitate to arise in his seat
1 and attack any and every measure he
i does not think will inure to the bene-
fit of the common people.
! "His work on the committee on
j Indian affairs has already made him a
1 national reputation.
I "Of course Senator Lane is very de
1 sirous of Senator Chamberlain's re
! election and if congress takes a recess
I in time he will come to Oregon and
stump the state for Chamberlain and
I the democratic ticket.
1 "Vice-President Marshall told me he
' had fond remembranct-s of his visit to
i Oreeon two years ago, that he liked the
' state and its people and admired their
high citizenship. He said if it were
possible he will visit us this fall and
make, a number of speeches for Sen
ator Chamberlain and the Democratic
ticket.
Expect Chamberlain victory.
"I am quite confident that the vice
president will be able to make two or
three speeches in Oregon during the
campaign.
"Democratic National Chairman Mc
Coombs told me that he confidently ex
pected Senator Chamberlain's reelec
tion, and that at least two congress

i T y Ci
FURNITURE FACTORY IS N0f ASSURED
Kvery year many thousands of dol
lars are sent from Portland and other
Pacific northwest points for trunks
and similar articles that could better
be employed at home. There are in
Portland a number of trunk factories
that are today turning out superior
ouality articles and yet they are able
to secure only a very small per cent
of the trade because many of the
stores continue to stand in their ovn
light by the purchase of articles from
other portions of the country. It has
been demonstrated time and time
again that better trunks can no se
cured for the money at home than
elsewhere, and not only are pur
chasers of outside manufactured
trunks losing money by purchasing
an inferior article, but they are fail
ing to give employment to home tal
ent when they would be able to do so
without cost to themselves.
Finest Woolens, lattle Clothing.
Despite the fact that. Oregon goods
have a reputation for quality that
extends around the world, only a very
small per cent of the clothing used
in this section is manufactured at
home. There are a number of first
class tailoring establishments here
that could grtatly increase their ca
pacity if western people would pat
ronize home, workmen instead of send
ing their orders to the - east. While
It is probable that the Cheaper grade
clothing can be manufactured cheaper
In the east than here, good stock can
be tailored here even at a lower
price than elsewhere, because of the
saving in transportation charges. This
is a very big item.
Eatinsr an Apple.
By eating at least one apple a day,
the consumer will be able to not
only benefit his own health, but add
to the prosperity of the producer of
tne fruit, who is today badly in need
of a market, owing to the cutting out
of the usual foreign demand, due to
war conditions. While Tuesday, Octo
ber 20. has been officially declared
national Apple day all over the coun
try and the governors of various
states are proclaiming that fact, the
public need not celebrate one day
alone. Every day should be apple
day for health's sake at least.
