No arrivals of razor clams - were

the trade was very much disappointed.
There are again quite lair receipts of

CKLKKY MAKKKT IS WEAK EH
, While a very limited amount of ex
tra fancy pack celery i.s stul selling
along the Ktreet an high as 75c a
dozen, the general price for best Is a
dime below this, with ordinary stock
down to 4ui50c.
The market for country killed calves
Is in a very bad position along front
street. There is an utter lack of snap
in the buying, even the larger retail
ers refusing to take hold at this time
unless values below the actual worth
of the stuff are named.
Fancy calves are selling generally
in the Front street trace today at lccv
lie a pound: While a few lots may
be mild to small butchers here and
there, far the greater bulk of thd stuff
1m disposed of at the lower figures.
Kven at that there is little inclination
among retailers to take hold. Sales
are being forced at this time because
of weather conditions which make de
ferred holding rather hazardous.
S-Vlarket for country Kille.il hogs is
fSiaiiig steady generally along the
Street with best offering trommanding
lc. A few sales are reported for best
down to N'c a pound.
Provision trade in general remains
quiet with no further change in prices
announced.

CANNED
SALMON
IS
HELD
BACK OR NEW
RATE TO TAKE EFFECT
Reduction in the Railroad Freight
Charge to Central West and
South Causes Buyers to Order
Stock to Kern a in in This Market.
There was an advance of a dime
ing the price of hogs at North Portland
toaay, notwithstanding the fact that a
very good supply came forward to the
market overnight. Totals were 843
compared witn ii a year ago.
Shipments of canned salmon from
the Pacific Northwest to the central
west and south are being held back
by purchasers and few aro expected to
go forward until about the turn of the
yean..'
.Expectations of the naming of a 60c
freight rate by the railroads to south
ern as well as middle west points com
pared with the present rate of 70o is
causing buyers of canned salmon to
order a stoppage of shipments to those
points.
It takes 30 days for the law to be
come effective after it is published by
tne interstate commerce commission

Two more sailing vessels have been
chartered to carry grain from Port
land to Kngland. The charters were
inaoe by Straus & Co. and will be
loaded by the JSorthern Grain & Ware
house company, their representatives,
the North Hank dock.
Showing the great strength of the
wheat market and the real demand for
the cereal is the visit to this city of
James Livingston. United States man
ager of Straus & Co. at San Francisco.
vith Mr. 11 vinszston's visit to this
fity, comes the announcement that the I
great lOnglish firm will participate in
the buying at Pacific Northwest points ,
hereafter on a scale heretofore un
known. Tlii- war between Turkey and Russia
i.s said to have a direct bearing upon
further chartering of grain vessels to
carry supplies from this port to Ku
rope. Other vessels are being nego
tiated for by various firms and a
fresh burst of record breaking charter
ing is expected here almost any day.
There is again a general scramble
for wheat at interior points by export
ing interests and higher prices are
again noted in the country. The prin
cipal strength is for November and
December delivery.
Wheat showed a sharp advance .at
Chicago this morning as a result of
the overnight war developments In Eu
rope. London cargoes were again very
strong with a further advance of 3 to
fid re-ported this morning. Liverpool
options arc also higher and the entire
world's trade is again a mass of
strength.

Approximately $48,00(0 was cut from
the budget estimates flbr supplies, ma
terial, etc.. In the department of pub
lic works in charge of Commissioner
Dleck by the budget committee yester
day afternoon. Wteile amounts had
been asked for special appropriations
to continue some work now under way
the committee allarsved only a portion
of them.
While more automobiles tad been
asked for by the department the com
mittee only allowed one runabout, to
cost not more than $565. sThe pur
chase of even this machine" was op
posed by Commissioners iDaly and
Bigelow. Commissioner Bigeiow stated
that nearly every morning there are
half a dozen or more idle city ma
chines lined sup In front of the city
ball.
The councfll also allowed the pur
chase of a truck to be used by the
highway department to cost not more
than $3150. -
The committee in its work yesterday
eliminated, an appropriation of $15,000
sought for cutting weeds and brush
next spring and summer. 'This means
that another process will have to be
used Instead bf the one used this year
by the city cutting the weeds and as
sessing: the cost to the property owner.
Only $4000 of $10,000 asked for a
continuation of the Peninsula sewer
surveys was allowed and an appropria
tion of $4000 for repairs to Tanner
Creek sewer was eliminated. Although"
practtically all of the curb corners In
the main business section; have been
cut Commissioner Dieck had requested
$8900 to continue work oil the west
side, on corners north of Stark street.
rate committee refused this amount,
however, but allowed $2009, as it was
deemed that was sufficient. Other ap
propriations were treated likewise.
The committee allowed $2000 for, a
machine to be used in testing steel to
be used in buildings. It is proposed
to establish a place in the city hall
where such steel can be tested upon
payment of a nominal charge for the
work. Another session will be held this
afternoon.
Women Will Keep
Headquarters Open
In Aid of Dr, Smith
has been ab
sorbing, and the O.-W. R. & N. will
absorb, the charges on freight to com
petitive points.
The new tariff of the S., V. & -3. be
comes effective December 4.
The . S., p. & fe, issued its tariff
covering the wharfage absorption yes
terday, following advices from Seattle
that a conference involving all the
roads and wharl'age'charges at all the
northern ports apparently had not
reached -any definite conclusion. Re
alizing that the interests .of this port
required some positive stction by some
road, the S., P. & S. decided to go
ahead regardless of any possible con
certed, action and issue the tariff cov
ering the absorption that already had
been prepared.
The Southern Pacific, which has
been absorbing wharf charges at all
docks, railroad, public and private,
had intended to cancel its tariff on
November 16, reeling that its own in
terests were suffering inasmuch as
the other roads had not met the. is
sue. It will,' however, keep the tariff
in force.
O -W. R. & N. officials stated that a
tariff covering absorptions had not
been prepared, but intimated that it
will include the same factors as the
S., P. & S. tariff.
"This will furnish impetus to the
business over the public docks," said
F. W. Mulkcy, chairman of the dock
commission, "It means that oriental
liners may dock at the public dock on
the same terms as at the vrailroad
docks. It is a very important conces
sion." Hood River Parents
After the Smokers
Orders for cloth to outfit the sol
diers of Kuiopean warring nations have
actually been received by local woolen
mills, although the volume is com
paratively light. -Advices indicate that
some big contracts are about to be let
to Americans and a liberal portion is
expected to reach the mills here. Sam
plea of eloth manufactured in Ore
gon have been forwarded to the buyers
for the European armies and messages
received are to the effect that the ex
amination shows them to be fully up
to requirements. This being the cane
it ia likely that Oregon woolen mills
will receive tneir full share of the ex
port business. a
Scramble for Wool. f
Aaturally this is causing a general
scramble for wool by mill interests. All
over the world there Is today more in
terests in the wool market than ever
before. Stocks of fleece in all posi
tions have been found to be inadequate
to filL the demand. Even before the
present great record demand for wool
ens appeared the market for wool
showed an actual shortage, but since
the war in Kurope this shortage has
been more fully realized. There is,
consequently, small surprise expressed
that efforts are being made at Pacific
northwest points to contract the com
ing clip at a substantial advance over
the record values of last season.
Means Good Price for -Tears.
This is not the full extent of the
meaning of the preseGifcvar in Kurope
or its effects upon the" wool trade of
the Pacific northwest. With the war
being waged, stocks of sheep are being
further reduced in leading Kusooean
centers and it will likely b many
years before production of wool will
again be brought back to the normal
even though many sections of the
United States will show an increase in
the number of sheep raised. Other
sections of the country will show a
further decreii sc, therefore the total
holdings of sheep in the country, as
a whole, are not likely to b much
greater, if as great as at this time.
Pore Wool Bill a Help.
perhaps one of the biggest factors
that will tend to elevate thj price of
wool in the United .States, even put
ting into eclipse the great demand for
woolens from Europe, will be the pura.;
wool bill that will likely receive much "
attention from the next session of con
gress. This measure has already re
ceived the BUpport of the department of
agriculture and it la likely to be an ad
ministration affair. Clothing made
from wool that has been utilized before
will not, under the " provisions of the
bill, be nllowed to carry a wool label,
but one ot shoddy. This means, there
lore, that the average person now pur-
fhfivlntr a cn.j.ulluH r, t r- rtr rr 1 I C i , v., ill.
hereafter demand it. and if the measure
becomes a law it means that only vlr.
gin wool will be used in: the making
of the cloth.

of placing the new financial system
into effect will not be long delayed.
The formal opening of the bank' at
San Francisco wilt mean the turning
louKe of much money here and else
where along the coast. ; The "banks are
full of money but under the old law
the national institutions were greatly

after the opening of the San Francisco

be opened at both Portland and Seattle.

Hood River, Or., Oct. 30. The Parent-Teacher
meeting held last night
at the: Hood River High school was
the largest -attended meeting of the
season. The chapel room was filled
to overflowing by parents and teach
ers, who met for the purpose of dis
cussing the'-conditions prevailing in
the local uchool relative to the use
of tobacco by the students. Professor
J. O. McLaughlin, city superintendent
of schols, said that it would be im
possible for the school to deal success
fully with the problem unless the fac
ulty were fully supported by the par
ents, and statistics prepared bV the
superintendent indicated that the larg
er percentage of the high school stu
dents ar tobacco users.
A motion was unanimously adopted
that the chief of police and sheriff be
requested to enforce the letter of the
law governing the sale of tobacco to I
minors throughout the county, and that
those who were buying and giving to
minors be prosecuted. The Parent-
Teacher association went on record
as favoririg the enforcement of the
school law giving the teachers super
vision and power over the students
while going to and from school to
their homes, and if necessary, suspend
Litucents who refuse to refrain from
smoking, while going to and from
school.
