TURKEY ARRIVAL OF
ABOUT SAME VOLUME
AS DURING YEAR AGO

- "Home Expect a Break.
Toe volume of turkey irrlvals tn the wbole
UU trade was tomcntut better tbin bJ
bn expected, cod la spite of bl t1ui
to date bars held wmsrksbly well, altbonfh
ta lotnt qurtr fears sro xpreed for the
la-iESdlsta future.
Receipts of dresd turkeys alone the
wtolesslo vray wore (practically tbe aam as
town year aso. The future of prices de
1 uds upon the anvu:it of stuff tost comes
late IB the rty aud Tufeday.
: snipping orders took tbe bulk of the ear
lier1 ablpuienia. Kale were made generally
around 28a2Dc a pound for fancy birds, while
a few rnnll lots were sold a fraction higher
tbob this top. llowver, these sales were of
such limited Tolume as to be scarcely cop.
sMered a a market factor.
Kr of tha bis local retailers hid pur.
rbaeed thrlr requirements Id tbe hope of tbe
n-arket breaking la l-r. uuality or me ar
rivals was only fjlr and generally below
that of previous seasons. Cull birds have to
ds te (vlil remarkably high at 2Zifac a
pound. There has been a fair supply of II tu
birds, but drniand for these hss thus far been
low.
DRESSED GEESE ARE FIRM
Market for d reused geese la rather firm alone
tho street. Kecolpte were quite folr. Arer-
)7lMc a pound. Little demand abown for
iite geese at 11c.
CHICKEN MARKET IS STEADY
' Chickens are quoted about steady for lire
blids with values substantially the aame as
have ruled during the last two werka. Re
ceipts are quite fair, but there la no espe
cial bun-y to purchase.
POTATO TRADE VERY QUIET
Qtil't touo Is-allowing tn the potato trade.
I'ractlcally no buy lug for outside account Is
. at present reported on account of the In
ability of shippers to securs cars. Unions
are stesdy. I
BEANS ARE HOLDING STRONG
lu the bran trade a very firm tone In
allowing all over the country. More efforts
are being made to avcure northwest stock
than usual this season, beer use of the higher
prices quoted In tbe south and east.
Butter Market Very
Strong With a Rise
Probable Very Soon
Foreign Demand for Storage So
Keen in East That It Is Affect
ing Entire Trade.
Batter market situation It extremely firm.
Tbe strength permeates all offerings, stor
age as well aa fresh stuff. The huge foreign
demand abown for tbe atorage stock In the
eaat Is naturally having Its effect upon the
local trade, although so fsr ss known no
la to transactions have been elosed here for
foreign shipment.
Nevertheless, the situation In the storage
butter market le o firm that flrat etass ice
hens stock Is selling around 80c a pound
from jobber to wholesaler, with naturally
an advance over this to the retailer. This
therefore bring the price of storage butter
within a mere fraction of tbe quotation on
best grade fresh creamery, a condition out
of line nnder normal condltlona, but Justified
fully under the present stsndlng of the
trade.
Owing to the recent eharp advance paid for
butter fat by local creamery lnteresta, due
to tbe higher prlcea offered by condensery
and cheese men, there Is practically no doubt
at tbe moment tnat a aharp advance In cream
ery butter, will be forced within the Imme
diate future.

A very sharp loss was forced In the price of
wheat st Chicago during the early day's trad
ing, resulting in a general weakening of the
situation throughout the country.
Liverpool market was unchanged to i
higher at the opening, while cargoes on
passages were unchanged st London.
Locslly, the trend of the market la ex
tremely quiet, wltb little disposition among
exporters to bid at Interior points. In fact,
so fax as tbe country Is concerned, the mar
ket seems to be waiting affair.
Flour market la naturally feeling the ef
fecta of the weakness and lower prlcea for
wheat, although no changes In patent were
announced during the morning. Business lu
the flour market here is dull and there Is
no doubt that any further decllue In grain
will force the product to a lower price level.
Coarae gralna continue firm In the coun
try and tbe hay and millntuffa situation re
mains good.
Broomhall reported Liverpool weekly clear
ances from North America: Wbeat 6.860.00)1
bushels; corn. 872,000 bushele; oats, 2,067,000
bushels.

Wheat Drops Early
But Rallies With
Light Chicago Tone

"McHgo, Nov. 27. ( I. N. S I Price chaneea
In wheat were most sensational today. The Pe-een-ber
future sold from 177. K off, to 17H4,
snd up to 173V4. May from 1S4T4 to 17S. up
to 180, July from lMTj down to 14 snd up to
150. Net hisses for the day were S'iiAM-
Corn closed l'-fe&je lower, and oats were

cago were S0.OO0 busl els. corn 8.1.0V and ots
130.000. Tn the visible supply wheat de
creased 802.000 bushels, while there were In
creases of 328,000 bushels corn and 531 CKO
buabela oats.
New Y'ork bid Be over Chics go Msy price for
No. 2 hard wheat at tbe gulf. The beat pre
vious bid was 4c over, but this was some time
ago, and prices were much higher than those
now current.
Chicago, Not. 27. ( I. N. S.) Whest
dropped slightly at the start today, but rallied
lc from the low point as a result of free
buying of May on tlie break. Trade In the
aggregate waa light, with no particular selling
pressure.
Genersl selling by local traders sent corn
down to c at the opening, but moderate
buying, combined with tlie rally In wheat,
sent prices up c again. Trade was light.
Heavy selling of May featured the early
trading In oats. On tbe breaks commission
houses bought on resting orders, holding prices
about even wltb Saturday's closing.

Cold Weather Puts
Wheat Growers in
Sad Predicament
Walla Walla. Waab.. Nov. 27. Continued
cold, frosty weather during the past week has
served but to lncreaae the anxiety of those
wheat growers who planted their fall crop
Immediately after October rains put the ground
in condition. The seed bas been dormant tn
the froren c round for mors than two weeks
now, with indications for even colder weather
during the coming week. Whether the wheat
will spront when frost leaves the ground, even
if this should Uke place immediately, is a
question that Is uppermost In the minds of the
wheat men.
Those farmera who placed their seed In the
dust snd took a chance on rain coming in time
to arlve It a good growth before winter set In.
beve been rewarded by witnessing their com
ing crop emerge from the ground in good con
dition. Thus far the young plants have suf
fered no dsmage from the freese. which has
not been severe enough to kill hardy vegeta
tion. The growera, however, are hoping that
anow will fall and form a protecting blanket
over their ftelda before the aeason for be low -sero
temperaturea arrives.
1'rartlcally nothing In the shine of farm
work has been possible since the cold apell set
In. The ground Is frozen solidly to a depth of
several Inches, preventing plowing, seeding,
harrowing or any other activity in tbe fields.
Indications at this time are that there will be
no break In tbe wintry conditions In time to
enable the farmers to gather up tbe straggling
ends of autumn farming operations.

New York. Nov. 27. (I. N. S.) New hljrh
records were made In cotton In tbe Initial
trading today, first prices showing gains of
3 to 31 points, with the tone firm. Tlie nenr
positions aeored the smallest advances. S;wt
nouses were the leading buyers Southern in
terests 'alo purchased, but on a moderate
scale. Liverpool bought the nearby positions
and aold the late months, while commission
houses operated on both sides. Profit taking
by last week's buyers was noted. Advances of
ftom 43 to 46 points were made at Liverpool,
Twenty point rally In cotton shortly sfter 2
o'clock, resulting from covering, based on an
advance of 44 points In sot st New Orleans,
but renewed liquidation and pressure from Wall
street interests, caused fresh weakness at the
close, which was IO to 16 points net lower.

symptoms are not wholly absent. In
creased costs are aJ ready having the
double effect of emphasizing economy

producers' returns. In all probability

This apparent paradox Is explained
by the inability of bottle manufactur
ers to secure material supplies, and by
the almost unbearable manner In
which shipments are held up bv a
shortage of railroad cars.
Flint factories are all reported very
busy, but also confronted with the dlf
2- t I flcuUv ln securing material and In tlie
Sav 1 "b'Pment of output by the congestion
84! 84 I of all traffic lines.

After the War. In an address te
fore the annual convention or the Ne
braska Manufacturers' association al '
Omaha, Dr. Edward Ewlng Pratt,
chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the department
of commerce, admonishes the dele- '
gates to "recognise the fact 'hat
peace in Europe will bring with It
problems as great, if not greater, thua
the problems that arose at the opei
lng of the European war.
"Altogether the most serious devel
opnent ln Europe so far as we at
concerned." said the speaker, "is lbs
Increased centralisation of economic
lesources and finances. Regulation
of trade .md commerce has been a fea
ture of past wars, ln no war how
ever, has that regulation gone furthct
than ln the present conflict. For
amplo, Great Britain subsidizes a com
mercial banking organisation ln Italy.
Ureat Britain has arranged to buy the
Australian sine output during the war
and for ten years thereafter. Great
Britain has lent Its support, to an
Anglo-Russian Chamber ot Commerce
for the purpose of promoting coai
merce between Russia and Qr-1
Britain. And now Great Britain pro
poses, more Important and far reach
ing than the others, to support a new
kind of British trading bank which
will endeavor to build up In a proc
tlcal way through financial support
Great Britain's, foreign trade."
Discuss rood Embargo. Trad re
port rrom Tacoma. Wash., to Dun n
Hevlew November 23, says: The In
teresting problem in the local mar
ket Is the increasing prices In mos;
linrs of merchandising, and the fro,
lng difficulty of making purchases ir
respettive of price. All local business
organizations are discussing the td
visablllty of an embargo upon exports
of food stuffs until domestio condi
tions become normal. The car short
age ia a serious factor locally, cur
tailing shipments both in and out.
While this section has experienced
ln only a limited way the Industrial
expansion, the volume of business lit
both wholesale and retail lines Is well
maintained. ltetallera are moving
their stocks freely, but find It diffi
cult to keep up assortments. Tral
Is unusually good In agricultural sec
tions, and on account of prices re
ceived by farmers for their products,
country collections are much Improved.
Tho lumber market is fair. A ra
sonable volume of business Is going
through considering the shortage iu
cars and bottoms Price Is not so
much a factor as delivery.
On November 17, local bnnks showed
l2.r.,000.l00 in deposits, which Is tlu
first time deposits have reached this
amount.
A large shipbuilding company has
been organized and other industrial
enterprises are under way.
Building permits show a large in
crease as compared with a year ago,
and local money is socking investment
along development lines.

University of Oregon, Eu
gene, Or.. Nov. 27. "Who Is
she?"
Since the publican of a story
crediting an unknown co-ed in
attendance at the University of
Oregon with $500,000 ln her
own name, this question has
pushed even football into the
background as a source of
campus speculation.-
The only person who knows
her identity is Professor John
Straub and he Is sworn to se
crecy. Hs vouches, however, for
the tru.th of the following:
She actually has between 1500,
000 and $1,000,000 ln her own
name and . will probably Inherit
more. She wants to be liked
and won for herself alone and
So is limiting her expenditures
to $35 a month and keeping the
existence ot her fortune a
secret.
