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

vance of $1 a ton in bids. Bran bids

Patent flour prices were advanced
generally 20 cents a barrel today In
the local market. Information be
lieved to be authentic says that fully
four cargoes of flour have already
been sold within the last few days
by millers of the Pacific Northwest
to Germany and England. Some of
the purchases by the latter are said to
include both French and Belgium dis
tribution. While oriental business is not yet
heavy, there is increasing interest In
the export flour market across the Pa
cific and further increase in sales is
daily expected.
Millers are sconring the country for
wheat and prices are) being bid sharply
higher again in the interior. Country
interests, while selling freely, are in
sisting upon higher values. So keen is
the competition for supplies that
growers are almost naming Uier owi
prices.
Oats sales ' abroad are again con
firmed and the market Is naturally
firmer in the interior.

ATTEMPTS
AT AN ADJOURNMENT
House and Senate Leaders
Tell President Adjournment
Is Out of Question.
(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.
POLICE READY TO ASSIST
Chief of Police Clark has made all
arrangements for the recall election
Tuesday bo far as his department is
concerned.? On that morning the day
policemen will report earlier than
usual to carry election supplies to the
precincts. The second night men will
distribute the ballot boxes Saturday
and Monday. An extra squad of 20

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

Washington, Oct. 23. American
troops pobably will guard the Peking
Mukden railway, according to an
nouncement by war department offi
cials today. 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

If troops are sent they probably will
go from the Philippines.

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
