further advance of G1 in the price
of cargoes in the London market to
day has had another stimulating in
fluence upon eondilfons in the local
markets as well as in the i'aeifii
northwest generally.
Buyers for export account are show
ing much more disposition to purchase
supplies in tlit: interior and store them
there, while producers are inclined
to hold back, asking for a further ad
vance in the price.
Kuropean interests were eager bid
ders for wheat today along the At
lantic as well as on the Pacific coast.
Several points in the east reported
buying for that account, and the mar
ket at Winnipeg was forced up anoth
er cent.
To a greater extent the same condi
tion was shown at Chicago, and a fur
ther sharp advance was forced for
options.

APPLE PRICES NET
GROWERS A DEFICIT
ON YEAR'S BUSINESS
Values Being Obtained on Eastern
Auctions Are Generally Far Be
low Actual Cost of Production;
Big Sale May Help Out Some.
Special advices reveived by The
Journal from various portions of the
.orthwest indicate that about 10 per
cent of the total crop of the three
states will not be picked, but will re
main on the trees until dislodged by
the elements.
The extreme low prices that have
been in effect this season, many of
the sales actually being. from 20 to
25c a box below the actual cost ot
production and getting ready for mar-
Ket, is forcing many growers to come
to the conclusion that they would b-j
money in thu pocket if they do not
pick at ail.
There never was a situation such
as has been shown to date this sea
son. The memorable low prices of
iyi2. vhieh caused growers to con
sider withdrawal from, the industry,
are high indeed in comparison with
the actual net returns now being, re
ceived by producers.
There is more or less "hot air" talk
among various distributing interests
of excellent values maintained, but
actual sales on he eastern auctions
iail to confirm these statements.
There is no effort here to depress tho
views of growers, but the facts are
such that they cannot possibly be ig
nored. Actual auction sales in the
east show that on Oct. 15 there was
sold a carload of extra fancy and
lancy Grimes, fancy Jonathans and
fancy Bellflowers at $1 a box deliv
ered in Cincinnati. These apples were
sold by parties who are said to be
claiming much higher figures in
laet. state they are maintaing their
iist. Otner sales of fant- apples are
reported in the eastern 'markets at
prices that would net grqwers here
not over 25c a box and the actual
cost of production in the commercial
orchards is stated to be better than
55c a box.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
today announced that it is practically
sold out on Jonathans. The bulk
brought from isOc f. o. b. for extra
fancy and from 65c to 7 5c for fancy.
Tne recent heavy sales of apples
by the Northwestern exchange to
Steinhardt & Kelly, while made at
very low prices as compared with
a year ago. are really the most im
portant events that have happened in
the apple trade of the northwest this
season. Heretofore all of the big ap
ple buyers have been extremely bear
ish regarding the mar.ket, but now
that one of the leading world's firms
has put its good mony into the fruit,
it js quite possible that it will change
senlirhent of the trade generally.
Sharp Advance Is
Forced in Chicago
May Wheat (ioes to $1.34) H M ith
Foreign Markets a Very
Bull ih Influence.
Chicago, Oct. 17. May wheat boomed
today, and during the day advanced to
$1.20U, and closed at $ 1.20 asked, or
13e above yesterday's finals. Closing
for December was e up.
While December was unchanged at
the start, there was an advance of Vc
in the May. and the entire market soon
got under headway, with short cover
ing. Foreign markets continue to influ
ence the trade here, there being fur
ther sharp advances in European val
ues. Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that steadiness in Winnipeg and ex
pectations of lighter American ship
ments this week caused a steady open
ing. This was followed later by con
tinued scarcity of offers. The market
closed firm. Firmness of Manitoba
offers, together with unfavorable re
ports from Australia and better flour
demand, with larger actual sales,
helped the advance. Fears are being
entertained here regarding future sup
plies. an,j there is a tendency to buy
more freely.

We are the most extravagant people

If Americans could only be induced

There continues liberal strengtn in
the cattle trade at North Portland
although there were no further offer
ings for the day. Recent sales have
indicated that the forecasts made by
this paper that killers were quite well
supplied .with cows but were short of
steers were fuily confirmed by latest
sales at tiie yards.
While the sale of one load of steers
at $7.25 which was reported yester
day in these columns was- by no
means an indication that tne general
market had reached that figure, the
transaction showed that for a limited
supply of fust class quality the. posi
tion of the market was exceedingly
strong here.
At Cliicago there was a steady tone
in the cattle trade for th-- day.
Kansas City cattle market was
steady at former prices.
Omaha had r.o cattle but the trade
was considered steady.

At $7.50 foi tops the price of hogs
was again maintained in the Norm
Portland yards. There were few head
available, as a large per cent of the
limited run was a direet shipment to
local killeis, therefore did not enter
the general tiade.
At Chicago tiiere wai a weaker

tops losing a nickel at $8.05.

General conditions in the mutton
trade throughout the country are on
a good basis. At Chicago the market
was somewhat weaker but no general
change was shown in values.

no supplies overnight but the market

OF THRIFT
Our farmers and our cotton grow
ers are guilty of the same practice
they incur debts and then trust to
Providence t'o enable them t clear
their feet by means of bounteous
crops.
If the result is a general return to
old-fashioned Thrift, to rational in
stead of riotous living, the beneficial
effects upon the nation, financial, eco
nomic, social and even political, can
not be easily overestimated.
By prudent, intelligent thrift, the
people of America with their infinitely
greater natural resources, can lick
every other people in getting out of
debt and accumulating savings suf
ficient to afford that sense of secur
ity and independence which the spend
thrift can never know.
Ostentatious luxury and real democ
racy do not blend well. We could get
along very comfortably without the
former. Nobody would be worse off
and the-republic would be better off
to say nothing of the effect upon so
cialism, ,
N 0 RTH WEST !
WOOL MARKET HAS .
ADVANCE SINCE THE
EMBARGO IS PLACED
Markets Along the Atlantic Coast
Reported 1 to 3c Per Pound
Higher for Fleece Than Before
Shipments Were Prohibited.
Recent advances in the price of wool
at Atlantie --eaboard markets are
traced directly to the embargo placed
on woo! shipments from (Ircat Britain
recently.
Advices from Boston. Philadelphia
ami New York as well as from Cni
cago And other centers indicate that
alues have recently been lifted from
lc to 3e a pound in the grease over
those in effect previous to the plac
ing of the embargo.
1 he excellent demand for woolens'
from abroad and the better feeling j
in the foreign . trade generally have !
combined to aid the situation in Araer- ,
ion markets. Most of the large woo!- I
en mills of the east as well as in the
west are either working all day or
both day and night in order to fill I
accumulating orders from abroad. j
Manufacturers have therefore be
come much more interested in the of- !
ferings of wool at Atlantic coast cen- l
ters recently and this is expected to ;
be a very big influenee noon nriees i

yesterday afternoon.
The committee allowed $30,oo'o for
a n'-w building at Fourth and Y: n
liill streets, where the headq .i lrtcrs

deemed that the present struct ir. a

General Improvement Is Notecff in the Lumber
Trade, Number of Plants Havfng Opened Up
for Operations Recently.
CLATSOP MILLS TO
That business conditions are much,
I more hopeful even in the lumber
1 trade, than had been generally ait-
ticipated, is indicated by the recent
i openings or announcements for open
! log of various plants In the Pacific
northwest. George X. Wendllng, one
; of the best known lumber Interests of
j the coast, after a recent visit to the
Pacific northwest, said:
"I look for marked improvement In
j business after the first of the year
I and 1 believe the war will affect u-i
I less as time goes on, even if It con
. tinues. The war is not over when
j hostilities cease. It will take some
time to arrive at an actual undet
' standing and during that time there is
j going to be uncertainty. It took France
j and Germany four months before, and
j now there are more than two nations
' in vol ved."
Lumber Publication HopefnL
A rather optimistic, view of the
future regarding the lumber business
is thus voiced by the Western Lum
berman of San Francisco:
"While the demand for lumber, of
any kind, is not of sufficient magni-
tude to create any great degree of
j enthusiasm, the fact remains that
; Pacific- joast lumbermen" are in a
j much better position than their breth
, ren of the east and south.
1 "The latter have suffered a loss of
practically- all of their export trade,
: while the Pacific coast has ' been
: brought to a standstill on European
business only,
j "Inquiries for fir cargo are as
! s' iin i' as hen's teeth, but there are
; many inquities on the market for red
wood ties for shipment to a number
of remote countries; also some orders
i are being placed for export redwood
; lumber; at this writing there Is rea
i son to believe that .redwood foreian
; shipments in iu." win increase in
! the same proportion'-as they have this
: year, which, the indications are. will
show the largest business of any year
I since its inception.
j "Opinion relative to business at in
: terior points in California is conflct-
ing; where two or more yards are
i located in one town, the manager of
one says trade has fallen off laflo 20
per cent, and another one states iC has
increased 20 to 2a per cent, . which
indicates that what one has lost the
other has gained; such statements as
this coupled with the prosperous con
dition of the country as a whole, il
lustrates a hopeful condition of affairs
which is largely responsible for the
optimistic opinion regarding both the
present and the future, entertained by
the leading lumber manufacturers and
merchants or the Pacific coasL
Clatsop Mill to Binmi.

Beyond deciding that it desired
about twobjocks in an easily access
ible portions of the east side, the gen
eral staff f the Oregon National
guard adjourned last night after an
all day session without fixing upon a
site for the proposed east side armory.
A numliclcof sites were examined"
by the staffejmt none was recommend
ed, as it tgiH generally believed the
prices wers- - little high. Some 50
sites were ffered, ranging in price
from $1 2.5cf yo $116,000. Most of them
were on thp.j'weKt side.
A resolution was adopted that the
site shouldi-iie purchased as soon as
the conditbVfl? of county finances shall
warrant. Ctjje staff will meet again
within twol'.'-ireekK and more locations
will be exHjh'.i,il at that time.
It was alepj resolved that about $15,

and Davis Streets, the building to be
used "for infantry purposes. The pro
