t' ' 5 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1914. 1 ENGLAND, GERMANY AND FRANCE ARE STILL BUYING FOODSTUFFS &REAT STRENGTH A rrifnnr nr Tnirmin ixaiukl ur mwm IN THE EGG MARKET hmlen of Fresh Ranch Stock in a Limited Way at 40c With Hest April Storage at 35c; Chinese ' Stocks Are Hard to Dispose Of. Great strength Is Bhown In the mar ket Tor freHh ranch eggs of which sup plies are ncant. Values today are rul ing from 37 V4 to 40o a dozen. Unless theie I a change In the situation it is likely thai a 4Uc market will be general at tlie opening af the corning week. Current arrivals of fresh eggs are so xcant that few of even the leading: bonnes have any to offer, it is stated that many of the Willamette valley merchants are candlin their stock and shipping their bent quality to the northern markets and Bending the re mainder to i'ortland. Thin is indicated liv rinalitv (if nrcKfnt arrivals. Cold storage stock is naturally be- in a ded by the scarcity or nrst qual Ity fresh offerings. Kastern eggs are hemic sold as hiKh as rfoc a dozen. These, arc so-called "fresh stock" but so far as- can be ascertained they are nothing but the best quality or April storage. Ordinary storage eggs are bHng held from 30 to 32 Vic a dozen. Chinese crks are hard to sell at any price. SI' KING CHICKENS AUK QUIET ' While there remains a very good tone for heavy lienn with sales as high as 14c u nound. demand for lighter hens and springs is less keen and clean-ups are reported tit lower prices. Kecelpts have not been noerai in any line. VEAL I'ltlCES A HE SHADED While the general market is con sidered merely easier, there is a re port of sates of first class veals as low as Kit: u nound along r ront street during the last 1 hours.

OUTSIDE T AGAIN BES POTATOES WITH E HERE COMING SCARC No. 1 Quality la Reins Held for Extreme Price by Local Pro ducers; Two More Cars Idaho Growth Arrive in Today. Edited by Hyman M. Cohen. EUROPE TAKES IRE CARGOES OF FLOUR AND WHEAT IN N. W. Fully Two Loads of Flour and as Many of Wheat Confirmed With Warring Nations During the Last 24 Hours; Oats V'efy Firm. Idaho potatoes are again being im-j nni-liul I . 1 1 .. n .1 ............. r.... Kunaiiu local producers who have the best"! quality are unwilling to dispose of them at this time. Bent local stock could not be pur chased from glowers below $1 a cen tal at this time, while Idaho growth of similar quality can be landed here without the least difficulty in buying at 85c to SOc. Two carload's of tlera State stock are due in the local market today and additional carload lots are reported ordered for next week's de livery. While there is a fair supply of lo cal potatoes available of the second or third grade, Jv'o. 1 stock has been scarce here. Under quality stuff could be obtained at lower prices with grow ers showing some pressure to . sell. There is no outside demand for sup plies and the only call therefore is for the home market.

Abroad there is not the slightest di minishing demand for fleece and as Kurope is showing a good demand for more fleece than it has at home, it is quite probable that instead of iiu- ropean fleece being shipped in this direction, that American wool will jro to Kurope. South American wools are coming forward to the American markets, bu the demand is so extraordinary that there is no likelihood that it will have any effect of decreasing the price Sales of fleece at Atlantic seaboard markets recently have been practic ally of the greatest volume of tne season to date.

In a speech preceding the reports., Mr. Chapman reviewed the work done by the committee and the successthat attended Apple day. October 20. Quite Incidentally he reported that there was no deficit. i - One of the best attended schobl house meetings of the campaign was held at- Lents last evening. The speakers were: A. V. Flegel, Demo cratic candidate for congress, Tom I "Word, candidate for reelection as sheriff; Roscoe P. Hurst, candidate for Joint representative against C: il. Hurlburt, who hag been repudiated by the Republican organiation, and Harold Warner, who spoke In behalf of Dr. C, J. Smith, candidate for gov ernor, and Senator Chamberlain. Frank Lee presided. Mr. Flegel spoke briefly Of hid busi ness and professional life, and 'aid he thought it might be taken for granted that he was as well equipped, bo far as experience in business and his per sonal character and qualifications were concerned, as any other candi date. If that be true, then he said there were other reasons why ne should be elected. Duties Ara Orsat. T am nominated by the Darty of the administration," he said. "There is a vast difference between the legisla ture of Oregon and the congress of the United States. The legislature meets 40 days in two years and is a lawmaking body only, and If it is dom inated by one party, your own experi ence has demonstrated the importance of a governor with courage and firm ness to hold them down. "The congress is a lawmaking body, but the duties of your congressman are different. During the recesses of congress he is your agent before the various departments and bureaus. He is the agent of Oregon and his district as to all matters In which the state is interested, such as the jetties, the im provement of the rivers and harbors, care and sale of timber and other lands, regulation of reclamation serv ice, grazing lands and innumerable, other matters. President Asks Tot of Confidence. "If he is of the same party as the administration it requires no argument from me to show that he will be bet ter equipped to represent you than a representative who goes to Washing ton to oppose and impede the adminis tration. This alone would be suffi cient reason for electing me to con gress. "But the supreme reason Is that President Wilson has asked the people to give him a vote of confidence in November, and the only way you can give him this vote is by voting for Chamberlain for senator and Flegel for congressman. "That President Wilson has saved this nation from war is admitted on all hands. That by letting all nations of the world know that he believed that a treaty is a sacred obligation, to be kept by the United States has given him the confidence of the great powers of the world, and they now trust the United States with their Im portant matters in the countries at war. Many Great Thing's; Dose. "The record for achievement In constructive legislation in 18 months j far exceeds the previous 18 years. The executive department under his lead ership has been phenomenal in its quality of statesmanship and fair ness. The handling of the Colorado strike situation and the controversy between the engineer and firemen and the western manager of the railroads, has endeared him to th? hearts of all laboring classes, particularly the rail road men engaged in the operation of trains. "Remember, to endorse President Wilson, you must vot for Chamber lain and Flegel; all others oppose hirm "President Wilson deserves a vota of confidence from all patriotic citi- European orders for blankets have come forward so freely to the eastern mills that they are distributing them among the Pacific coast institutions in order to make greater speed In de livery. Several of the leading Pacific coast mills have recently been asked by eastern brokers and mill Interests to bid on blankets for the use tf for eign armies and some orders, are ex pected within a few days as a result of this activity. The blankets have a small opening In the"mtddle, through which the soldier places his head. This therefore gives protection In all sorts of weather. Dairy Products Lower. There has been considerable weak ness throughout the dairy products markets of the country recently. But ter and cheese prices have shown con siderable price losses and eggs have not shown the strength in some places that had been expected. The huge quantities of cold Storage stock is one depressing feature against anything except strictly fresh stock. Business Tery Brisk. There is no lack of business offer ing In many lines of trade. Some fac tories are working to full capacity and still are unable to fill their orders promptly. If the demand for wooden pails, butter kits and buckets is a true barometer of business conditions, there is a factory at Klamath that has the bulge on forecasting. The bucket and pail factory of Wood & Lens in that city has received so many orders re cently that an enlargement of facili ties has been found necessary to take care of the increasing business.
