OATS MARKET LOOKS' LIKE
SEATTLE ALLEGES
CONFIRMATION ABOUT
THE CHINESE
Puget Sound Paper Aided by Local
. Publication Tries to Hamper
' Sales ofOregon Stock Journal
Awaits the Facts.
' Alleged confirmation made by parties cp
V posed to the Portland market haa -been made
la regard' to the sending; from this city as
. strictly fresh Oregon eggs the . product of
Cliloa.
A Seattle paper, aided by a Portland pub
lication, baring for Its sole object the put
ting of the Portland msrket oat of business,
claims that It baa made quiet investigation
of the alleged facts and finds to Its satisfac
tion that the Mongolian stock It actually being
shipped from this city ss fresh Oregon.
If such thing actually happened It simply
means that the manipulators, who have been
aided by these tame judications, have done
It on purpose to break the price of eggs In
the Portland trade.
Some time ago The J or ma 1 announced that
s- it would publish the Dames of all handlers
and users of Chinese eggs -In this market, free
of charge. The offer' was made by the man
agement of the paper Ltd Is still open. If
those who allege these .astancea will kindly
rive the names of these alleged 'nippers of
Chinese eggs as Oregons. tbey will bi pub
lished, so tbst the entire trade shall know
who they are, as well as their tactics.
Ia the meantime the Portland market Is real
ly gaining strength "n price and there ar more
orders for eggs at prevailing high prices than
: the trade can take care of.
CHICKEN MARKET FIRMER
'Market for chickens la generally firmer
along the wholesale wsy with sales easv to
make at extreme prices, quality considered.
Some small broilers were sold during tbe last
24 hours at 85e a pound, which really means
$ s dozen.
STRAWBERRIES ARE LOWER
With another carload of Los Angela stiaw
berrles offering on tbe local market duiing
the day, tbe price here ahnwa a further small
decline. Bales were genersl at $1.23 a cratu
tor tbe beat quality.
OLD ONIONS AGAIN; SELL.
Somewhat of a better demand for old onions
baa sprung up in tbe .ocal trade with real
good quality finding favor at $1.76 a cental.
1 Buyers state they are unable to purchase from
other dealers below $1.60. - Good quality old
crop scarce.
SEEK WOOL IN QUIET WAY
Eastern Interests wbile not openly' ia the
market for wool at this time, are actually reek
ing to contract supplies in a quirt way. There
' i practically no business showing because
sheepmen are now well acquainted with tbe full
strength of tbe market.
; MOHAIR MARKET DRIFTING
While the market for mohair continues
strong here, the trade Is drifting. The ex
treme prices paid recently have beeu due most
ly to a local fight for control of tbe market.
"The big sales at jLebanou bcki will be held
Saturday afternoon.

Hood River Says
All Apples Sold;
None Are Offered
Wllmer Sfeg, Sales Manager of As
sociation, Says Portland Is
Weak Spot.
That Portland is tbe only weak spot In the
apple trade and that this is due to the damp
ing upon this market of huge supplies of In
ferior stuff, is tbe statement of Wllmer Sieg,
sales manager of tbe Apple Growers asso
ciation. In message to tbe commercial editor
of The Journal.
Mr. Sieg atates that tbe apples from tbat
section which have been offering here at snch
lew prices bare been kept in common storage
since the sales campaign and therefore du rot
reflect tbe true character of the market for
superior fruit.
Tbst tbe market Is really in good shape
and tbst sales are actually being made at
better prices is indicated by the showing of
the- Apple Growers' association that It re
ceived an order from Portland Wednesday at
$1.50 a box and that tbe last sales of etra
titter made by Hood River to California were
at $1.00 -a box. v
Hood River states that -it fcas' no more .ap
ple to offer this season. sot that Inquiries
continue to come from Texas and other points
ant' tbey see willing to pay very excellent
price for tbe right product.
Thla therefore Indicates that the extreme
weakness In the apple trade Is more of a lo
ci 1 affair, peculiar to Portland, than a general
condition.

Air grain exchanges of tbe country, as well
as all stock markets, were closed for the day
on account of Oood Friday.
While there was na session of the Portland
Merchants Exchange for tnv? day, the feeling
in the local trade ia that the oats market
'will soon begin to show Its real position. Pri
vate advices to The Journal indicate that not
only has the Willamette valley practically no
oats to offer to tbe Portland market at this
time, but within a sbort time will find Itself
compelled to purchase for Its own requirements.
This la due to the fact that on account of the
slowness of the oats trade some months ago
and the lower prices Indicated then, many
farmrs bad their oats chopped for feed, there
fore the borne consumption has tsken a much
greater per cent of the crop than normal.
On the other band, holdings of oats in the
interior are -very muck less than some interests
would make themselves believe. While there
are fair stocks still held In the country east
of the mountains, stocks are no greater than
requirements. It is an open question if the
government oats con (tacts should be let to thla
city wbetner It could be filled; without forcing
a bulge of about $5 a ton in the price. Thla la
in itself would Indicate that holdings are not
heavy.
A similar condition Is showing In barley at
Interior points.

There was quite a liberal run of hogs re
ported in the North Portland market over
night, but the trend of the trade was healthy.
While a liberal premium orer the general mar
ket waa paid for some extra fine stuff from
the eastern Oregon experimental statioa at
Union, and one load of good stuff went to a
killer at $9.10, the general top for good stuff
remains st $9. At least this Is whst the big
buyers were bidding. The smaller fellows ace.
always forced to pay more than tbe big fellowa
when tbey need supplies.

FOR s$500,000 ESTATE

a v. 'it
Mrs. Grace Felix Leseter.
New Tork, April 21. Mrs. Grace Felix
Lesster is preparing to defend again
her claim to the $590,000 estate left by
her husband, William C Laster, con
tractor and broker
William Lesster, second, has renewed
the struggle which has been waged at
Intervals since early in 1911 for con
trol of the estate. The grandson
charges that Mrs. Grace Felix Lesater
used undue Influence when her hus
band's will was made, thus Inheriting
the entire fortune.
William C. Lesster was 73 when he
married Grace Felix, a girl of 20, In
1904. The marriage took place only a
few weeks after Lesster's first wife.
Josephine Lesster, had obtained a di
vorce in Indiana. It is said that Less
ter settled $100,000 and some western
property on his first wife when they
separated.
Grace Felix Lesster Is the mother of
two children, William C. Lesster, died,
at St. Augustine, FUu, in January, 191a.
The widow's contention in past conr
tests has been that William Lesster,
second, is not her, husband's grandson,
but is tho son of Edward Lesster, who
was not related to Willi&m C. Lester.
ASHORE AND MAY BE
Makes Harbor of Refuge
South of Coos Bay, Buf the
Anchor Line Breaks.
Marshfield Or.. April 21. A fish
ing boat owned by Henderson brothers,
driven ashore late Thursday, was badly
pounded last night. A hole was broken
in the boat and some of the rigging
was carried away, but the owners think
the boat can be saved and repaired.
The boat is about 35 feet long and
was used in the halibut fishing. It
put into Sunset bay, a harbor of refuge
south of Coos bay often used by fish
ermen, and anchored. Heavy seas
caused tbe anchor line to break and
the little boat was quickly beached.
A few days ago the same boat picked
up another fishing craft with a broken
engine and was towing her into Coos
bay when trouble was encountered and
lifesavers rescued the men aboard.

Credit Man's A&aual Ksport Shows
Galas la all Departments. The annual
meeting of tho adjustment bureau of
the Portland Association of Credit Men
was held Wednesday, a I- Eddy and
P. L. Bishop were chosen directors for
three years, to take the places of an
equal number of retiring directors, and
the annual report of the secretary was
submitted, showing the progress - that
has been made in all departments. This
is an association of which little Is
known by tho-. general public but it
is an important factor in the transac
tions of Portland's jobbers and manu
facturers. It has to do with the ex
tension of credits throughout the en
tire trade territory of Portland, the
making of collections for its members
and the handling of insolvent estates
and bankruptcies. It is an association
not organhtedk for : profit but for tho
mutual benefit of its stockholders who
are also members of the Portland As
sociation of Credit Men.
Xjrg-e a alas Madelxt Adjustments
aad Collections. The report of tbe
secretary shows the bureau has a
membership of 160. It received 1S.167
comprehensive reports from its mem
bers concerning the amount owing by
their customers, the amount past due,
the general record of promptness or
otherwise, as shown by the books of the
members. The collections in adjust
ments cases showed a gain of nearly
300 per cent, while the total gain in
adjustments and collections was 92 per
cent. The total collections for the year
were $226,228. compared with $76,858
for the previous fiscal year. The num
ber of reports received increased 47
per cent. There were 355 adjustment
cases filed upon which the dividends
averaged 81.7 per cent as compared
with. 26 per cent for the preceding
year. The assignments handled by the
bureau paid dividends of 87.7 per cent,
as compared with 32 per cent for the
preceding year. The dividends in the
bankruptcy cases, in which the bureau
had a share, returned dividends of 16
per cent, against 9 per cent for last
year. The secretary calls especial at
tention to the fact that dividends in
all the bankruptcy cases closed during
1915 in the district of Oregon, includ
ing the no asset cases, was but 4.78
per cent. The average dividend paid in
cases where the bankrupt had assets
was 9.92 per cent. This compares un
favorably with the dividends of 37.7
per cent returned by the bureau in
cases of Insolvency where ths bureau
was made the assignee anr kept the
concern from going into bankruptcy.
The bureau had a total of $213,945
claims deposited with it, of which it
collected $86,914.66. Its total collec
tions Including adjustments aggregated
$313,143.19.

Tooze Is Unfit to Hold Place
and La&s Papers.
Oregon City, Or., April 20. Suit was
filed Thursday in the circuit court, by
Dr. A.. L. Beatie, a former member of
the school board, asking tho court to
issue an order restraining the present
school board from entering into a con
tract with City Superintendent F. J.
Toose for the term of school begin
ning September, 1916, and ending June,
1917, or paying to mm -any rurtner
salary.
Dr. Beatie alleges in his complaint
that Mr. Toose has no certificate, is
sued by the state, which would give
him a right to teach, and holds that
Mr. Toose is ineligible to the office
of city superintendent.
This action follows rumors that some
definite action would be taken, to pre
vent the return . of Superintendent
Toobsl The members of the school
board have not given out any state
ment as yet, to Indicate what steps
they will take. It is believed that a
meeting is planned in the next few
days when the matter of selecting a
superintendent will be discussed.
Following Dr. Beatles action. C. O.
Minor, principal of the Oregon City
high school, who is opposed to the re
election of Superintendent Toose, filed
complaint with Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction Churchill, "objecting to
F. .J. Toose receiving any certificate
whatsoever. -
-My contentions are that ho is guilty
of unprofessional conduct, the writing
of anonymous, objectionable letters, and
Immorality. Tou would doubtless ar
range for a hearing, at which timeI
will submit the necessary svldence."

Would Permit Service Charge - on .
Loans. An amendment to tho national
bank act has been offered which will
permit national banks to make a charge
of not to exceed $1 on each loan trans
action in addition to the rates of in- -terest
permitted ty the laws Of -the
state. The same amendment would .
permit exchange charges to be col
lected where obligation Is payable at ,
distant points. The aim of the meas
ure is to relieve the national banks
from the charge of being guilty of
tisurlnns nrtla whn In thai fisi 1
of an individual transaction, it col
lects a definite charge Instead of the
regular rate of Interest. When a
small borrower asks for a loan of $25,
$60 or $100 for a few days. It has been
the practice of banks to charge a flat .
sum of 25 cents, 60 cents or $1 on the
item. Tho Intent of the bask was to
recompense itself for the service and
overhead expense of taking care of the
bookkeeping. The banks claim there is
no revenue in such small loans, ithat
they are a source of considerable
trouble to look after and that the total .
volume of such loans in any bank's
business is wholly insignificant. When
John Skelton Williams, comptroller of
the treasury, made his report oa usury,
he charged the banks with usurious .
practices, basing his information In
many cases on. loans of this nature.
The banks are trying to find 'Some
way to keep within the law and yet
take care of this accommodation busi
