At Last Moment They Fail to
Beat Market Down Farther and
Are Forced to Pay 11 and 11 He
for Best Stuff in the Valley.
Quite heavy business has passed In
the hop market at Willamette valley
points during the fast 48 hours. Shorts
nave been covering their octoDer ae
livery sales and transactions in the
valley have been reported as high as
1114c a Dound for the better class
stock.
Charles Werner of this city is re-
fiorted the purchaser of the Roy Mor
ey lot of 400 bales In the Silverton
Bectlon at the extreme price, 1114 c a
pound.
Another Silverton aale, that of
August Elton, 140 pales was report
ed this morning at 11c a pound, but
the name of the buyer has been with
held. George Yergen of Aurora sold 298
bales to another buyer at 11c a pound
and several more sales were reported
in that section around the same price.
A noticeable feature of the trad in
the hop market during "the last 48
hours is that -while there has been
an excellent demand from parties sup
posed to be short, at extreme values,
poor and ordinary quality has been
entirely neglected. This indicates to
the general trade that someone has
been selling heavy supplies short for
October delivery and being unable to
force the market down further, has
been rushing to cover at the last min
ute. These higher priced sales should not
be taken as an indication that the
market for hops is better. Such is not
the case. Latest reports from the east
Indicate that brewers are not purchas
ing additional supplies' at this time,
the beer makers simply taking in
what they had purchased previously.
Chicago Wheat Is

Market Firmer and Higher Early;
Bullish Liverpool Trade la
a Big Factor.
Chicago, Oct. 31. While closing
prices for wheat were Vic a bushel
lower than yesterday's finals, the
market showed considerable strength
at the outset Foreign markets were
sharply higher for both spot and fu
ture delivery and the sharp advance in
the price of cargoes influenced con
siderable buying here.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that the wheat market was strong on
American strength and unfavorable
weather in Argentina. Heavy takings
are reported of all offered cargoes and
parcels of winters are being paid for
at the rate of 4Vid and Manitobas at

Ordinary 4.00 (a 4.25
Mutton Market Firm.
All through the market for mutton
so far as good quality is concerned,
there remains a rather strong tone in
the North Portland yards. No arrivals
for the day were noted.
Poor stuff has been neglected of late
and this sort of stock should be kept
at home until it is available for the
killers. Some of the poor stuff from
the interior shipped to this city re
cently has been reshipped to the coun
try from where It came and will be
fed there for a later market.
At Chicago-there was a weak ton In
the mutton trade but values were not
disturbed for the day.
. Kansas City mutton market wa
strong at an advance of 5c
Omaha had no mutton supplies on
the market today.

Oregon; Dealers Are Able tP
Pay 75c in the Country.
The market for .potatoes Is beginning
to show signs of life with purchased
of a few carloads of extra fancy Bur
banks at 75c a cental, country ship
ping points.
Several cars have been purchased
recently and shipped to San Srancisco
where sales have averaged perhaps
$1.151.20 a cental. Dealers say that
if they can purchase extra good qual
ity at 75c at country points here with
either a 25c or 30c freight rate, they
will be able to secure some of the
higher class California business.
Owing to the extreme shortage In
the Salinas. CaX, section this season,
there Is a good chance for fancy Ore
gons to Invade the bigger markets
there.
With the California river section
showing a very heavy crop this sea
son there seems to be small chance of
much business immediately ' in ordi
nary stock although dealers say they
would be able to pay 60 to 65c for
good shipping quality at country
points.

Forthcoming Opening of
at San Francisco Renews Interest in
Be Established in This City. .. .
LAND PRODUCTS SHOW IS INSTRUCTIVE
f
The establishment of the regional
bank for the Pacific coast at San
Francisco, which ts xpected to occur
during the coming month, has J re
newed interest In the branch bank
which will be established In Portland.
Bank officials of this city say that
the early opening of the branch "bank
after the regional Institution la under
way is practically a necessity, con
sidering the laws under which the re
gional bank members will be forced
to operate. While it is true that
much of the local business can be ac
complished through the banket San
Francisco, still there will be so many
questions regarding loans and dis
counts coming up every day that a
branch will be found to be an lnsrne
diate necessity. ;
Directors to Be Selected. t
Officials of the . San Francisco jf
serve bank will appoint four direcf
for the Portland bank. These may be.
bankers or other persons, the Choice'
being optional. In additoln to these
four men, the government will ap
point three directors, but It Is under
stood that these must not be con
nected with the banking business.
The seven directors will have charge
of the selection of other officials of
the branch bank. There Is much
speculation regarding the quarters
that will be secured for the- Portland
branch of the regional banks. A num
ber of locations have been mentioned
In some quarters the Impression pre
vails that the old bank building of the
FlrsJ National will be used
First National at Portland.
In this connection It Is rather Inter
esting to note that Ve First National
bank of Portland was tKif first na
tional banking Institution located west
of the Bfocky mountains. Not tmly
in tf)er Pa"t of the program, gave some
characteristic everyaay happenings In
the livetf of the sophomores. The sec
ond year class retaliated with a nurs
ery stunt with the black witch and
broom. The Juniors with "the Seniors
at Judgment Day," made a hit.
' The afternoon exercises were post
poned on account of rain, and the re
mainder of the day was spent In col
lege songs.
In the evening the wearers of the
green cap were put through a strenu
ous Initiation, the formal Introduction
Into college life. The banquet 'which
followed was served in Herrlck hall,
125 being seated at the tables. The
toasts were as follows, being arranged
