CHICKENS SHOWING ERRATIC TONE WITH HEAVY HENS WANTED Demand for Ordinary Stock Is In sufficient to Take Care of Even Light Arrivals; Heavy Ship ments of Dressed Turkeys. The chicken market Is In a very unsatisfactory condition in in Front street trade. For extra heavy hens there continues a very liberal demand from the Jewish trade and for stock of this class 14c a pound Is easily ob tained. However, receipts of this char acter are almost too limited to quote. The market Is well equipped with light weight hens and springs even though the receipts are showing a de crease aeain. Demand for anvthing except heavy hens Is rather limited with sales reported cent-rally at 13 tfi) 13M.C, although the trade has been unable to fully clean up. The market showed quite liberal re ceipts of dressed turkeys from south ern Oregon today, Gullickson & Co. re ceiving a very heavy supply. Efforts were being made to secure 25c a pound for the best birds but the demand is limited at this time. Ducks and geese continue to show general weakness at low prices. Biggest Bull Day In Shicago Wheat Market More Active Than Anv- where Since the War Started; Closing 14 to lc Up. r9,ictkSS.- ct- 23 wheat closed 1U lc higher. There was the best aotlon In wheat today since the ev cited bull campaign on the early war news two months ago. The easier '" m me market yesterday en- j cuuragea local bearishness. Th easier Liverpool cable was In the same line. At the outset exporters rather intimated that the demand was slow. Local trade forced a break in , lics to for December and $1.20 for May. Nearly all the big concerns in th trarlo .,,,.c the dip, including a half dozen big ex port concerns. Then the reports be F.an an"stimating something like 700,000 bushels export business at 5ar!: 200-0OC bushels at Duluth, 300 000 bushels at Kansas City and a half million bushels here. This news canght the trade in an oversold po sition. There was covering of short lines, replacing and fresh investment buying on the strongest and broadest market for many weeks and prices were carried up to $1.17 & for Decem ber and $1.22 for May secern Some strong influences were at work in corn as noted yesterday. The local bear forces had to give up the right and take the buying side. Re- w lb ui pwr yieias came. Oats trade simply followed the bull ish leadership of wheat and corn and was helped by reports of large car goes sold on the Pacific coast and re port from Snow covering the Canadian northwest, telling indication of yields poorer than the most pessimistic re port from snow covering the Canadian hR?1B?K0f, Cphicso Prices furnished k fcke C?oke mpany. 216 217 Board of Trade building: W 11KAT.

(Tnited Tress Leaaed Wire.) Washington, Oct. 23. Hope of ad journing the senate sine die today wa3 lost tnis arternoon when senate lead ers admitted they were unable to se cure a quorum. The senatel adjourned until tomorrow without effecting any compromise with southern senators who are seeking immediate action on the Lover cottonbiiI. Senate and house' leaders told Presi dent Wilson that congress was hope lessly deadlocked and that adjourn I ment was out of tho question. Speaker Clark suggested that the , president adjourn congress, predicting that the country would support such a move. It was understood, however. that the president is not in favor of such action. sixty memDers snort of a qyornm, the house adjourned this afternoon until tomorrow. Representative TJn-v derwood said there was no prospect of an early adjournment, and Speaker Clark also was pessimistic. Speaker Clark said neither hons was able to muster a quorum and that the adjournment resolution could not be adopted as long as it was opposed by a single member. Representative Henry of Texas said he would not permit congress to ad journ without a quorum unless it con sidered cotton legislation. With Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia as tneir leader, the cotton belt mem bers of the senate upset the carefully laid plans for adjournment of congress at 6 o clock last night. The southern senators prevented action in the sen ate on a joint resolution to adjourn sine die, and when 6 o'clock arrived the Democratic senators who had been fighting for adjournment gave up. Southern cotton insurgents conferred with senate leaders before congress re convened today and were confident that an agreement would be reached. Scores of congressmen have gone home and Minority Leader Mann advised Republicans t6 leave, despite the dead lock. Neither house, it was said, could muster a quorum.

New Xork, ... LOCAL BUSINESS NEWS Portland's Big Financiers Have Confidence a Plenty in City and Prepare on ElabpratelScale For Its Future Growth. WHOLESALINGOFBUTTER SYSTEMATIZED .3 In order to give Portland one of the finest exclusive banking homes in the United States, C F. Adams and Henry L. Corbett of the First -National' bank are in the east, getting at first hanJ the best ideals of the country in bank building. While plans for the new structure, which will be erected on ine soumwest corner oi ciars ana Fifth streets, have by no means been selected, still the news that has come forth is that the structure will by long odds be the best bank home on the Pacific coast. Just when work Of construction will be started, bank officials were unable to state at this time, but it was agreed ehat the work of excavation . would be begun as soon as the Mack furniture store releases the property. At the present time 'a desperate effort is be ing made to hurry the event. Unlike other banks along the Pacific coast, the new structure will be bnilt exclusively for the use of the First National, and more modern ideas can therefore be carried out than if the structure were to house other tenants. Faith in Portland's Tutor. Those few individuals who cannot see farther than "across- the street," so far as the future is concerned, and continue to lament that the city and trade has gone to the "bow-wows," should take a lesson in optimism from the fact that the biggest people in the local financial world are today pre paring plans to enlarge their facilities to take care of future growth. With the removal of the First Na tional bank to the corner of Stark and Fifth streets will undoubtedly come the building of a new financial center in this city; in fact, the first exclusive center the ciy has ever had. Every large city has its financial center, and there is no doubt that Portland's turn has come. Years ago First street was considered as close to a financial cen ter as the city ever had. Then Third street was invaded, then Second street, and then Fourth. When the Lumber men's National mbved to Fifth street. there were frequent predictions that failure would result so far as future American Troops to Guard Mukden Line English and French Save Evacuated Chinese Territory and United States Xjooked to As Guardian.

The English and French have evacuated Chinese territory through which the railway runs and it was declared the United States un doubtedly will be compelled to protect it under the terms or the Chinese neu trality treaty. The French and English, under the terms of the Chinese neutrality treaty, also are called upon to protect the railway. General Barry, commanding federal troops In the Philippine is lands.

Making a Batter Market. ; I Portland has at last joined other leading cities of the country In mak ing its butter Quotations. Heretofore - the wholesale market for: thk product was wnoiesaie in name Ogiy. l ne small store which purchase! a halt dozen pounds of butter at a jtime was given the same price as:Jthe firm which purchased a box or Jf dozen of them. Now the leading jioleHalers and makers have come to to conclu sion that the selling or bugler is no different from the selling of other products. The firm, therefore, pur chasing in larger lots is hereafter to secure a reduction in prices, or, in other words, the one who buys less than a case at a time will pay a. pre mium. The extra cost of doing busi ness on a small scale is the reason. Pleases the Coffee Toper, jj Just after war was declaimed in Eu rope, or just previous, tojstart the story right, certain interests in tha east purchased all availabl 'j supplies of coffee 4n the New York jyirket and right away advanced quota; ions very .. sharply. Many Pacific coait roasters who failed to see the ultlnf- Ue course of the coffee market price afjer a large portion of the regular dftjnand was cut off by Germany's inability to se cure stocks in South Ameca, forced prices up likewise. A veryfe large per cent of the trade was stockisd up quite heavily with coffee at these extreme prices only to find out a i'jhort time later that instead of the Market go ing nigner it evemuany cut luwm. At this time the price on coffee is somewhat lower than it hi) been for a period of yeara The fao that Ger man bankers finance most ' -if the cof fee interests of South Aferica, but have been unable to do b j since the war, adds only further cijifusion to the price. i if Attorney Browiiell Pleads Not fruity Eugene Uu- Charged With "Aiding and Abetting a Teloa to Escape Punish ment Furnishes Require Bond, Eugene, Or., Oct. 23.
