tory. Oats and barley markets are quoted very
firm at country polnta vltb demand best for

Wbije formal announcement of the official
opening price for Columbia river spring pack
ralmoa will not be made for several' daya.
li la now practically assured that the price
will open the tame as la 1915, despite the
higher cost oX raw atateriala for tba park,
ss well as an advance for the fish itself.
Leaders -of the canned salmon iudustry
sa- that while triey have not made any
all if. menu of new pack fish to date because
of the very small catches, they will bill out
initial shipments at lsst year's value. Tula
mentis that If the price Is named higher than
a year ago the canners billing at last
j ear's quotations will lose the amount of tba
advance, while on the other band, tbey will
be compelled to rebate the purchases any
amount' that the market may drop.
This, therefore, leaves tbe situation sub
stantially the same ss a year ago, so fsr as
the price is concerned. Orders for new psck
Chinook are comnia forward rather freely on
I lie baals of prices to be named at tbe open
ing.
"The catch of salmon la very small, both.
In the Columbia and Willamette rivers," say
Hobert 8. Farrell of Everdlng A Karrell.
owners of the Pillar Bock Packing company.
"The present ideas of tbe trade are for open
ing prices the same as a year ago."

Acreage in Tubers Is Curtailed Be
- cause of Extreme Price Offered
for Bean Contracts- Local Grow-
ers Hold Too Long.
. Tery small shipment of potatoes are again
reported to Callforniaby tbe local trade.
Bering prices In the Willamette valley ur
lng tbe day ware generally around $1.0031.15
per cental, according to quality. Tbe latter
wa the extreme prioe offered and then only
for exceptional lota.
California's takings gjof potatoes here are
the lightest ever known at this season of
tbe year; in fact, all daring the crop year
ttere ba been a very slow trade witn th
exception of limited spurts.
Seed demand from the sooth is practically
nominal. Latest advice from th leading
potato sections ot the wroth again indicate
the fact that the growersot potatoes are
abandoning that industry to take up the
growth of beans for which contract are be
ing offered at extreme values. Advices state
that the former potato growers see much mora
profit in the growing of ieana thia season,
therefore are sot planting potatoes as-extensively
aa in former seasons.
When the demand tor potatoes waa fairly
good from California early in th season,
Oregon grower refuted to sel because some
of them were advised by local publications
that the price would go to a't least $3 a
cental. While the local growers were hold
ing Idaho was shipping everything in sight
and i now practically cleaned up.
Another re.aon why local stocks have not
been cleaned np Is that local wholesaler dis
criminated against the Oregon product this
eeaeon in favor of tbe cheaper priced and
Lqoality Yakima tock. While the Yakima
stock was of 'larger size than the Oregon, it
showed poor keeping quality on account of
dry rot.

Watchful Waiting
I In Stock Market
New York Trade Is Showing Quiet
Tone In View of Possible For.
elgn Complicatjona.
New York, May 10 (I. V. .) Tb stock
.masket today evidenced many complications,
both la foreign and domestic affairs. Hi nn
certalnry of troop movement along the Mexi
can border, press reports of s probable tnvee
tlgatkai of coal price and advices concerning
tbe alnking of tbe Cymric were tbe principal
factors to influence stocks. The Cymric re
port Caused considerable selling In the first
hour, and the latter influence had a depressing
effect Ion such atocka a Reading.
Tbe general tendency of tbe room crowd
seemed to favor a temporary "watchful wait
ing" policy, until the market Is warranted la
adopting a more definite course' -
The volume of business transacted in the
opening hoar was considerably under tbe aver
age of the past week. An aggregate of 150,
POO (hares were traded la and the score of
tbu operation was mora Inclined to favor a
few of tba laadaca tnaa to cover tbe list la
general.
Ofee copper, for instance, were decidedly doll
in the first hour, and while Indus trials were
less active than they hav been, some of the
leading stocks were heavily dealt In. It was
evident that the trade la playing a conserva

ara considered most vulnerable.
The market closed strong.

Spring wheat ha atooled nicely, and it I
making latlsfactory progress, although th

XaYsstmaat Sankars Protest te Frssl
dant, Th Inveatmsnt Bankers' Asso
ciation ot America has seat a protest
to President Wilson over tha adminis
tration of ths Income, tax law by the
treasury department. Ths point in
volved ia the right ot tha Internal
revenue collector to deduct ajt income
tax from the Interest returns on bonds
pf domestic corporations' which are
owned by foreigners and the earnings
of which have to be transmitted to
them. The bankers' association as
serts there is no law authorising; such
a practice. It is also charged that
the attorney general ot tbe United
States has addressed an opinion to
the secretary of the treasury affirming
thia contention. In aplte of this. It Is
the intention of the treasury depart
ment to enforce the collection ot the
tax after July 1. 11L It is further
asserted, when asked to give his rea
sons for proceeding as be la doing- in
this case, that Assistant Secretary of
ths" .Treasury Malbern has refused to
do so or to give the attorneys for the
Investment Hankers' association an op
portunity to argue the question with
the department. Ths bankers claim
that the foreigners bought these bohds
at a definite price, and on tbe bssis
that they were not subject to the in
come tax. Up to the present time na
such tax has been collected or has
there been any effort to enforce such
a collection, it Is claimed. To carry
out the plana of the treasury depart
ment now. It is asserted, will be to
brine; up the question of international
right and honesty.
Development of Chain Stores, The
visit to Portland today of F. W. Wool
worth, president of the Woolworth sys
tem of chain stores, calls attention to
the development of efficiency in mer
chandising, as expressed in the growth
of the chain store plan. A recent tabu
lation of these has not been made, but
In October, 1914. there v ere 2788 dif
ferent chains controlling 30,549 stores.
A few of the leading ones are given:
Chains. Stores.
Tobacco 2 50 2600

Restaurants . . 100 1400
Pianos 125 1000
Saloons !.... 100 400
Shoe black stands 100 400
Not Included in the above list aret
the cooperative drug stores, the stock
holding drug stores, and the manufac
tures' chains of atores. It Is held by
some that the. tendency is to a mon
opoly of the merchandising business
of the country in the hands of the
chain stores, the department stores and
the mall order houses. The rapid
growth of these Ideas has certainly
been a marvel and it Is clear that
the end is not yet. New mail ordr
houses with enormous capital ar be
ing organised every little while. The
proposed chain of dry goods stores is
about to be launched and an organiza
tion of hardware stores has recently
been put in operation. The department
stor idea is reaching out1 to every
community.

To Urge Keeping of Fersonal-Xx-pense
Accounts. A special committee
of members of th Portland Association
of Credit Men Is starting a campaign
for the more general keeping - by in
dividuals of personal expense ecQounts.
The movement is a part of th national
thrift campaign being directed tn Port
land by the local chapter of .tb Ameri
can Institute of Bank Clerks. At a
meeting of the credit men's committee
held at the Chamber ot Commerce on
Tuesday afternoon sample expense ac
count books wore studied. It was de
cided to send for a sufficient number
of these books, distribute them to th
leading business houses with the Sug
gestion that theysupply each ot their
employes with a copy. Each employer
will be asked to urge each employs to
keep an itemised account of hla or her
personal expenses. It is tha belief of
those who are developing the idea that
if an individual once gets th habit
ot keeping a record of his personal ex
penditures so that he knows Just what
he apends and how he spends ItJthftt
the habit will soon beooms fixed aril
