Than Ever Before.
"Washington, Jan. 1(1. N S.) Final
reports received today by the postof

of mall handled during the Christmas
period was far in excess of that of any
previous year. Notwithstanding the un
usual conditions throughout the coun

promptness than heretofore.
In New York the Increase amounted
to more than 40 per centover 1916. In
Chicago more than 1100 tons of out
going parcels were handled In a single
day, and more than 600 full carloads
were dispatched within a period of four
days. Telegraphic reports from all the
cantonments where soldiers are training
show that all the mall received each
day was promptly delivered.
Officials and employes of tho postal
service- today received messages of
congratulation and good wishes from

It was a semi-holiday in the livestock trade
at North Portland on the oening day of the
year.
Nevertheless -there was mnch ia the situation
to cheer the country shipper, for in general the
livestock situation, started the year under the
very best of conditions. "
This was true especially of hogs. Bales were
made during the last 24 hours as high aa $18.85,
one foil load going at the "extreme price, - while
several lots went at $15.68 for something that
was not Quite as good.
The extreme price was paid for s load or ex
tra good heavy stuff, and there was a demand
for more than came.
General hog market range: '
Prime light $18.40 15.60
Prime heavy 15.60 15.85
Pigs 13.6014.50
slough and heavy 14.30 lt.ou
Cattle Situation Very flood
With cattle market prices unusually good and
high, with top quality available selling in the
steer division .at $10.50, and s good demand at
that, and with cow selling during the 24 hours
up to $8.60. there ia a bright spot in the trade
here for the country shipper and feeder of
cattle. While it is true that the general top for
eows here is considered around $7.75. still the
fact that sales were made aa high as $8.80. In
dicates that the call ia for better stuff, and the
trade ia quite willing to pay for it.
General cattle market range:
Medium to Choice steers $0.7510.50
Good to medium steers 8.75 0.65
Common to good steers 7.25 e.4u
Choice cows and heifers 7.86 B.u

No Mutton Oemes Forwartl
There was nothing in the mutton or lamb al
leys at North Portland on the opening day of
the year to give the market the least test. In
fact, so far aa the open market ia concerned,
there has been no supply to apeak of during the
last week or so.
General conditions in the mutton and lamb
trade are considered steady, with former prioes
continued on a nominal basis.
General aheep and lamb range:

PortUad Bask Clearlnrs All things
considered,' Portland bank clearinfs for.
the year end are Indicative of. avery
healthy growth in industrial enterprise
during- 1917 and by the same token grlve
promise of a greater prosperity for the
coming- year. Clearings for the month
of December just ended, total $83,846,
397.51 compared with $58.62.894.1 for
the same month last year. The total for
the year 1917 is $68,331,222.07 compared
with a total of S649.775.141.4S for 1916.
An Increased demand for Oregon prod,
ucts must be credited with the major
portion of this phenomenal increase In
bank clearings, but the opening; of the
Portland branch of the federal reserve
bank has also been a factor, and the
fact must not be lost sight of that prices
of all commodities have Increased greatly
during- the past year.
Federal Beserre Bask Statements A
comparative statement of the condition
of the Federal Reserve bank "of San

cember 28, 1917, shows total -resources
amounting to $160,408,000, compared
-with 61.046,000 on December "58. 1916.
The total gold reserve is given as $92.-

these will be added to the membership

Slight price concessions were msde in the mar
ket for turkeys at the last minute for the New
Tear's trade.
There was a sudden increase in offerings,
which caused some of the buyers to hold off
their parohasea. and this caused sales to be made
fractionally lower than the extreme top. To some
extent the alight price reaction was due to the
tact that most of tb late arrivals of turkeys
were of very email size.
. Hotels and restaurants were eager bidders for
large birds, but there was nothing ia sight st the
last moment to satisfy this trade.
Chickens continued strong and prices, held In
tact to the last moment the holiday trading.
There were fewer ducks Snd geese reeeivl for
the holiday this year than ever before known.
This kept prices in practically a very line of
poultry at the extreme mark.

Ihe lack of early fall rains prevented the normal
