Change In wheat bids on the Portland
market. The tendency wag (slightly
easier at tidewater, due to the fact
that ocean tonnase has been decreased
and the freight rates increased. At
some Interior points the feeling has
-been somewhat improved, due to the
fact that shipments are being made
to Europe bv rail to the Atlantic sea
board. This movement, will likely

freight situation along tlo Atlantic

GOOD TRADE OUTLOOK, VIEW OF CLEWS
Hjr Henry Clews. New York Banker.
Tha Iron trade continues to furnish examples of unprecedented activ
ity. Since the first of September orders for over 1,000.000 tons of rails
hav been placed, ahout 550 locomotives and more than 45,600 cars. This
onlj represents a portion of the new activity ln the steel trade as some
Of the railroads are b 1 1 i 1 cl i 1. k considerable equipment on their Own
account, and the Kteel companies have received large orders for outside
construction work; not to mention munition orders.
Prices for steel are steadily advancing, and this industry is now
enjoying a period of prosoerlty which In some respects surpasses all
others oh record. The facts jut cited prove Industrial revival, based
at stated !n our previous advices, upon tig crops, abundant money and
foreign munition orders. ""hiR activity is already apreRdinsr to various'
branches of trade, 'i be textile ?n.lustrieji show a healthy tone, interior
mercbanta having; been often caught with comparatively en.pty shelves,
which are now being replenished. Labor is well employed and eeneially
at good wages.

OREGON PRODUCERS GENERALLY HOLD
THE BAG WHILE GROWERS OF OTHER
STATES ARE RUSHING TO TAKE PROFIT
Farmers of This State Instantly Grab Bait When Outsiders Promise
Increased Irofits; California Reports Claim Beaver State Does

Oreeon rirofnrersa nrt e-enpi-Mllv
interests. Every time that speculative interests of the southern state want
to manipulate the market, they Invariably send out information of an unreli
able nature regarding the Oregon situation. h
J. P. Murphy is quoted in a Sacramento. Cal., press report a saying mat
the potato crop of California is no short this season, due to email planting
and the vavurex if r.cbtu ur.ri mfilli hit ths nvRilnbln SUDDlV Ot California
i tubers Is already exhausted. The result
that potatoes miibt be imported from otiier Ftates. namely lOatio and Colorado,
and the price therefore will increane. Murphy declares California cannot draw
on Oregon for potatoes this season, as the Beaver state has not raised enougn
for nome consumption.
Plenty for Shipment to Outride.
Notwithstanding the report unit out from Sacramento, Qreson will .this
season be aMe to stipplv 'al i fonya with some of the beet potato?" the soutti
ern state has ever seen' in tliat market. While it is true that the Oregon crop
is somewhat below earlier estimates when forecasts were for tne greatest

that this state lias approximately !"00 cars available
and California can have these, p'rovidinc it la willing

Whether these supplies will be sufficient to tide alifornia ovr its
alleged short crop remains to le seen but in the meantime there win oe
potatoes in plenty for mashing, boiling- or frying.
Oreg-on stock of Superior Quality.
OreKon potatoes this season are generally of superior quality. Tney ,ar

Cross breds from London have sold
here at a clean baste of 60c for good

Is 72c, which compares with a replac

recent quotations from Adelaide and
Sydney. Goodly quantities of terri

the past week, sales Including both
graded and original bag lots. Original

Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 20. The
wheat market has been quiet during
the last week, no sales beins reported.
Pailv quotations are watched with deep
interest, but 4s the price moves up

no inclination to part with their hold
ings or to become nervous over Midden
fluctuations. The majority of those
who Mill are in possession of their
1915 crop seem determined to hold for

RREGULAR TRADE IN
NW
YORK
MARKET
AT WEEK'S CLOSING
Movement of Prices Erratic but
This Was Generally Expected
After Recent Break; Market
Continues to Show Activity.
(Copyright, 1315, by the New
York
ivenlng Post.)
New York, Nov. 20. (U. P.) The
. . I Pavement of prices on the stock mar
Caiuomla ket was airain lrreirular tiiav ajid
was such as is always apt to continue
after a breakdown of violent specula
tion. Perhaps the most strikinir dif
ference between this and other similar
pe.r.-ds ln tho past bas been the un
willingmess of the present market to
relapse into inactivity.
The volume of business decreased,
yet it was still nearly equal to other
active periods. How far this means
that tlie recent speculation has been
neld in abeyance remains to be seen!
An irregular, and in some stocks, a
violent downward reaction occurred in
the early trading. This affected chief
ly the much exploited war stocks, but
the rest of the market moved more
quietly in the 8ame direction. The
weakness ended during the second hour
when some quick recoveries ensued.
The general market ended with steady,
unimportant changes for the day.

ARMOUR EXPECTS
Il.T J. Ofion -Armour, 1'rovigion King.
America is rapidly rising to an unprecedented prosperity a pros
twrity which would have been iiiconeeivai.de a year ago. and which will
he enduring; and should not be affected by termination of the Kuropean
war.
The Idea that the cassation of European hostilities milst affect us
adversely Is. I believe, academic. Emigration from the countries now at
war will be prohibitive. They will be forced to take this step, because
the conflict means an exhaustion of men as well as of treasury. Men
will be needed over there as much, if not more, than money. There can
be no competition between a country of America' great vigor and infinite
resources snd countries that have spent themselves. America ia destined
to lead the world commercially and financially in 16 years. The war
simply hastened that manifest destiny. For an American to fear the
aftermath of the sir appears to me baseless.
Ours Is not a war prosperity, although ammunition orders are
accelerating trade. Tt is fundamental, and the products of the farm are
the basis. We are still largely an agricultural community, and as agri
culture prospers, the whole country prospers. The size of our crops and
the prices we are securing tor them have nT parallel in the country
annals. Wheat is
now coming abundantly
is bountiful.

FOHEIGN WOOL SITUATION SHOWS
MUCH STRENGTH WITH A FURTHER
RISE IN PRICES AT ALL CENTERS
English Market in Excellent Shape, With Advances in Quotations
Well Maintained Exportation of Shoddy and Rags Are
Prohibited and May Affect American Trade.
The foreign wool situation Is sure
to exert a big Influence upon values
on American clips during the coming
seasons. Just at this time there is
much strength with recent price ad
vances ln foreign markets. The fol
lowing very thorough review of the
situation comes by mall from Brad
ford, England:
Subject to tlie requirements of this
country and those of its allies for mil
itary purposes being fully met, the
British war office has decided to per
mit tlie exportation, under license, of
English and crossbred wool topa to al
lied countries and, on certain condi
tions, to neutral countries. In the case
of the United States the "certain con
ditions" referred to may be taken to
mean consignment to the Textile alli
ance, and In the case of other neutral
countries, consignment to whatever
similar oody has been formed for the
purpose of giving a watertight guaran
tee against reexportation to enemy
countries. This concession regarding
neutrals Is more than was ushad for,
for when the Bradford txnoiters and
topmakers first approached the war
office on the subject thur proposal
was that exportation sliould'be aliowert
to allied countries only, which was
considered Hie utmost that whs likely
to be granted in response to an lnitl:il
demand, although it was fully- Intended
to press the matter further al a later
stage.
Crossbred Topa Elgher.
InirinK the few days that have
elapsed iilce the announcement was
made, some large iales of crossbred
tops have been effected, and prices
ha ye risen a half penny to a penny per
pound. The buying has been partly
by export houses in anticipation of or
ders, and partly by spinners, who have
been running iiort of stocks while the
market was falling, but who have been
on the nui vlve to cover on the fust
sign of a lire. The count lies chiefly
in nerd of crossored tops air Italy,
Holland and Sweden, hut there arc con
sidered to lie ex.-clleiit prospects of a
s' bsianlial trade with the United
btates
In connection with the Liverpool Knsl
India wool sales, which extend from
October i: lo October 2'.', the war
trade depi i-t incut announce that tiny
will be prepared to consider applica
tions for licenses 10 export to the

that the casein im-i eases with the tHt

who are not members of the grange
have the full privlleKea of ihe asso

regarding the gathering of eggs and
the marketing of poultry.
