Newspaper Page Text18 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1914. t. EUROPE IS OFFERING HIGHER PRICES FOR WHEAT SUPPLY HERE FURTHER LOSS SHOWN FOR CHICKENS IN THE IT STREET TRADE 0 Receipt" This Morning Very Heavy and Clenn-l'p Are Keported at 11 M and 12c Per Pound; Gen eral Trade Well Stocked Up. Further price Ions is shown In the chicken trade along Front street, tn addition to the losses of the last few day. Hales of hens and springs were reported as a cleanup down to 11 c a pound, lut this a below the gen eral market for such offerings, as other receivers reported cleanups at 12c. at the same time the 11 Vie prices were named. Accumulating stocks Hre again shown along Front street, despite the clean ups of last evening. This morning there, were very heavy shipments bv express, all of the. early dellveiies of the express companies consisting prin ilvaliy of chlckns. Considering this condition, there is not a very bright outlook In the trade at the moment. Most of t.ie retail In terests ute stored up, and the .only re lief In sight Is heavy buying by some of the big wholesale companies who dr$ss their own supplies, HOGS QIOTKH l-OWKK AGAIN RUSH OF APPLES HERE FROM VALLEY MAKES THE MARKET WEAKER Country Shippers Send Apples Here When They Are Needed at Home; Portland Is Getting More Than Expected Itequirements. There will be plenty of apples avail able for every need of the local trade for the. National Apple day campaign. In fact. Front street is very likely to have more than its immediate needs for supplies are increasing at a ; very rapid rate. Willamette valley shippers, who are at present flooding the market with apples which are being sent on con signment, are taking long chances by flooding the trade. The valley has only a small crop of apples this' sea son and there are indications that they will all be needed at home; at least most of them will be wanted. Some of the valley points are actually buying apples in this city because of the home shortage, therefore it seems foolish for shipping Interests there to continue to rush their supplies to Portland,, which is already receiving more than adequate stocks from every portion of the l'aeific northwest. Only lower prices could possibly result from further heavy shipments of ordinary quality from the valley. Edited by Hyman II. Cohen.

Wheat closed U 5i e off There was a restless trade all day, several quick turns on ex porters' buying December here and in outside markets and after a break from the early advance under a flood of selling, especially in the May, there was a second strong upturn due to important' export sales in all quarters. Still later a ha Salle street house led the selling atid a number of local hold ers let go their purchases of the morn ing, giving the market its second de cline. Winnipeg confirmed export sales of wheat to London. Cash wheat pre miums were improved at Minneapolis in the face of u big increase In stocks. Cable news was bullish. It was a sluggish trade in corn. The wet weather over the belt seems to have lost its influence on the buying side. Several points over Illinois and Missouri were reporting damage to corn lying on the ground and in shock. Local trade is oversold and ready for quick action on any bull news. December oats ranged from 480 to 47e. Local receipts tti"omise smaller.

Considerable activity has been shown during the last 24 hours around Dallas and St. Paul, with prices getv eraily ranging from 9c te 10o a pound. Buyers say they are experiencing no difficulty whatever in securing all the hops they have orders for at this ex tremely low price range. Everyone seems anxious and willing to sell at this time, while refusing to let go when priees were about 8c a pound higher. AH of the business, so far as can be confirmed, is for domestic account, there being no foreign orders what ever. Latest advices from New York indicate a slower market there, al though prices in that market are con siderably out of line with conditions existing upon the Pacific coast.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society of Thrift.) From Report of George W. Perkins. Chairman, Citizens' Committee on Food Supply, New York city. Several days ago your committee asked the board of education if there uoulit Vif. Anv nhiecHnn tn linrlrtalrinc tAbore quotations are Immediately on the opening of the isciiihjijb, an muL'dLiuiiai campaign uy which a few minutes could be devoted each day to a practical talk with the children on how to buy food, how to cook It, and Jts relative value from a nutritious point of view. We are pleased to report that Pres ident Churchill of the board of edu cation leels that the suggestion is a practical one, and fias agreed to co operate in working it out. In this connection the schools could be used to enlarge the mothers' meetings that are now held and helpful suggestions could be made in this way. It is a Will known fact that we Americans are a long: way behind other leading nations in - our knowledge of how to buy and prepare food; that in many other countries people live and thrive on smaller quantities of food than We consume, and that they are far less wasteful in their general housekeeping methods. The value of educational work in connection with the present situation is perhaps best illustrated by the general appeal that your committee has made to the peo ple of New York several times dur ing the past few days that they eat less meat in these summer days and more fish and vegetables. Your com mittee ha& heard from a great many sources that this suggestion has been followed to quite an extent, with the result that meat dropped in price and fish increased in price. This shows pretty clearly that the law of supply and demand is, after all, the great factor that is now at work in this whole question. Speaking of the fish supply," every effort should be made to induce our federal government to regulate the fishing along all our shores. Investi gation shows that a vast number of fish caught, especially in salt waters, are allowed to die and are thrown overboard because they do not met the local market requirements as to size. Such wasteful destruction should be stopped and every means taken to preserve and increase our fish sup ply. t Silverware valued at almost $1000. j which was taken from the residence of I Samuel II. friendly, at Eugene, on O' toher :. when the home was bur jglyrized. waB recovered today by City !
