Packers were sitting tignl on th hot prio
lid at North Portland during th day. Ther
was practically no soiling during th aarty
session, ia fact up to within sight of UM Boon
Ugh transactions were of a nominal natar.
That packers bar war of bearish d set re
during the day waa shown on all sides in ' tha
swine division. Th short time they hare put
Portland on th map a th highest bog market
in tha United State seems to have affected
tbm to sous extant. They could not stand th
honor for too long a period, therefore did
their utmost to break values at tha start of
th week 'a activity.
Tha extreme price which hav been ruling
for swine her during th last week naturally
brought forth, more liberal offerings. Th coun
try had boon holding back its hog for mart
money and when value were lifted be re to
higher figure than any other point in the
country, shippers felt that it was best to unload.
At th asm time killer felt that they could
knock down price a few notches and this cre
ated a doadlock at tha start of tb day.
In tb eastern markets there waa a further
bowing of strength in th hog division and
prices at practically all point east of th Rock
ies responded to this bullish showing.
General hog market range:
Prim light $16.46 16.60
Prim heavy 16.40916.56
Pig 14.00 015.00

OatU 9ltuatlon Is Mixed
With a rather liberal supply of cattle offer
lng on th North Portland yards during th day.
killers continued their pnasure against th pric
of quality stuff and no early sales were re
corded in th yards.
On th other hand distinct steadiness, in
fsct strength waa noted for common steer and
for cow in tha initial trading with some sale
fractionally better than vn. tha strong price
of last Monday.

Amerian Trad With South America Offers Opportunities for AmbI-.
. tious Men; Remarkable Increase in Trade Since the War If ay Be
Retained and Increased in the Opinion of Senor AJJendea.
DeTelopmeat at Export Trade. Won
derful bpportunitle ara offered young j
man of today In the growing trade with
South and Central American countries.
During the next 10 yeara hundreds of
young men from American trade centers
will be aent aa representative of Ameri
can manufacturer to the rapidly devel
oping industrial areas of South Ameri
can states. The field offer every In
ducement to enterprise, A thorough
knowledge of the language of the . coun
try is a valuable aaaet to the traae
representative and a most timely op
portunlty to acquire this knowledge la
afforded by the course in Spanish con
ducted by Senor Roberto Allendea under
the auspices of the University of Oregon
extension. Senor Allendea la a native of
Chile and waa educated in the schools
of Valparaiso. He Is employed by the
Portland school board to teach Spanish
in the Franklin high achool and handlea
classes for the University of Oregon on
Friday and Saturday evenings in the
achool board offices In the courthouse.
An advances clasa of 35 meets on Fri'
day night of each week and on Saturday
night a clasa of SO beginners receive In
struction. Besides teaching Spanish,
Senor Allendea gives lectures on the
buslneaa habits and social customs of
South American countries. The eoert of
the course of IS weeks for beginners is
5, and necessary text books may be had
for an outlay of about 2. Since the be
ginning of the war a great deal of
South American trade formerly going
to Germany has been coming to the
United States, and Senor Allendes be
lieves that thla trade may be retained
and Increased after the war. United
States government reports show that
exports to South America Increased
$98,000,000 in 1917 over 1916. an advance
of 42 per cent aa compared with the
Increase of 13 per cent in the total ex
portattons for the year. The greatest
gain In exports to South American coun
tries waa to Chile, to which shipments
were 7! per cent larger Jhan in 1916.
while Increases of 40 per cent were reg
istered In the exports of both Argentina
and Brazil.

Te th holder of Denbigh and 8Ilsr Iflae
Owner:
In th middle of my advertising eauapmlga
on "Silver" I waa so overwhelmed
with
consolidation proposal from silvs
owner aa to compel a halt te prepare for
th saraBslnatiass of the most likely one.
They nnmbared ecoraa. If upon lamina
tion 26 prov to be 60 ft as good aa de
scribed the coming stock market gamble
"Silver" should overshadow both "Cop
per" and "Steels."
If Denbigh shonli "hitch sp" with even
1 0 of tha offered proposition upon -the
terms named. Denbigh stock should go te
a vary, vtry high pric.

Denbigh on a basis of half ownership to
Denbigh for nothing. Why T Beeana they
believe in the coming consolidation half
ownership will bring tbara more profit thaa
th whole worked by themaalvea.
Te cover the halt In my advertising cam
paign whila I am getting under way the
sortiaw ot "good" and "bad" and th cx
aminatioxi of th moat likely th following
answers to inquiries from different parta
of th country should b of intarast te
Dan bigh holder.
My market campaign is not over ha
hardly begun- All development coming
out of my advertising campaign hav added
to my faith in Denbigh a the best stock'
market gamble I have ever known. When
I began mt advertising I relied upon th
value of th Denbigh mines alone to prove
the rain of Denbigh stork. Resent devel
opments at th mine have demonstrated
my faith was well founded.
At the beafnning I said if the publlo
responded a I believed they weald Denbigh
for that re son alone would prove one of
th best stock-'market gamblea. Tb pub tie
responded beyond my expectation. If th
market had been allowed to behar la the
usual way th pric of Denbigh would have
Sown to 19 or orer, but
All promisee mad by the holder of
the 400.000 Denbigh, to keep it at bot
tom, 2 to 8, were kept to th Meter la face
of temptation to raise the offering prle
and let the 1 price mount. Thla atnuaal
method ha demonstrated the (wanda
t my prediction that not only would
Denbigh prove the best stock market gam
ble, but it handling stockma rketwiea would
. sank loss impossible.
