TURNED DOWN; 1UNK PURCHASED INSTEAD California Onions Sold Here Because the Poor Quality Can Be Purchased Slightly Below the Superior" Ore gon Stock. " Front street is about aa loyal in general to Oregon products as a fox terrier is to a eat. While California makes every effort to support her own products, and even passes laws which practically prohibit ?the sale of soma competing products, most merchants of the local wholesaled way actually go oat of taelr way ta patronize the California producer and thereby discourage the local grower. Just now the situation in the onion trade here Is considered a shame and a disgrace to local handlers. While there is an excellent qttality crop ot Oregon onion, the trade here persists in pur chasing the Junky offerings from California, while even Seattle, which never does anything fox Ore gon that can possibly be avoided, is actually pur chasing onions In .this state because the trade there ia general la suable to stomach the junk intra the south. Not so with the Portland trade. It cries all the time about encouraging the producer to mar ket only the best quality, but at the same time it is willing to purchase the junky quality from other place, if it can be secured at a nickel or dime lees than the superior quality home product. In other words, the trade here is fast running into the junky order, because it discourages the good shipper. Stock List Rises And Falls With Quick Movements New York, Nov. 18. (L N. 8.) Although nearly all the active issues opened at material declines, the stock market today did not show evidence of weakness in any quarter, and rallies were in order in a number of stocks within a few minutes. The marine issues, however, were exceptionally strong from the start, with advancea followed by a reaction. The trading element waa active on the bear side of the steel industrials offering those stock, at concession,, and was successful in forcing Steel common down. The copper stocks generally showed fractional losses. Mexican Petroleum dropped, bnt quickly rallied. Southern Pacific was the only active rail road issue, and yielded. The uasettlement Jn the market was followed by a vigorous demane? for stocks towards the end o' the first hour, many issues showing pronounced strength. Marine preferred moved up ever 7 points, with buying' coming from interests said to be affiliated with those in. control of the com pany. The market waa quiet and very dull during the afternoon. Steel common held quite steady. Ranee by Overbeck & Cooke Company, Board of Trade building: DESCRIPTION: Open High Low Close Alaska Gold Am. Beet Sugar. . Am. Can, e Am. Car. Fdy.. e. . Am.
