' While in some quartan the market lor fresh

Sale, of freh cm along the treet during the
last few dart were greatetban for tome time
peat Far awhile it looked ta If accumulating
supplies would wreck notations here, a waa
ini i California, bat at the last moment the
situation strengthened, and the former surplus
wae quickly moved out
With the earl approach of Thanksgiving,
which ie usually a period of steady ta stronger
eg value,, there ie eery little indication of any
Misarrancement of the local trade. The demand for
fresh egs ta always aided daring the holiday
ami. and a arrivals are usually limited, the
trade in general ie not inclined to look for any
lMwertne of values for some time.
Btoreie eita are also moving out well, and

this is seemingly true of the demand throughout
the country. At the season Progresses, the sup

sought. - ,

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.

a) Very strong price, 1
grains in the .east during the morning.
The fact
that foreign fnarkete are such anxtbua bidders
for coarse grain is some surprise to the lecal
trade. When it wa absolutely necessary for the
trade there to 'accept coarse grain from this
country, a how went up that the Europeans
were not accustomed to eorn and such thing,
which: they considred merely ta food for bene
and other animal. Now it appears they nave
either acquired a teste for eorn, eats and barley,
or else have been bluffing before. In any event,
it la the big foreign demand that is forcing these
value higher ia the American market.
With two big steel steamers aa well as one
wooden vessel loading floor here for European
shipment, rapid progress is being made toward
cleaning up the loeal surplus.

of perk.
Chicago, Nov. 18. (L N. S.) The grain,
had a steady, upward trend at the opening of
the market today.
Corn was higher, with January taking the lead.
Offers were taken np readily by local commission
houses, who favored the buying side. The under
tone was strong, with buyer, everywhere in evi
dence. Oats followed corn fractionally, the local ele
ment favoring the buying side. While there was
little talk rf export business, the local trade was
good.
Provisions were even, with a dull market.

Credit Men Urge
That High Prices
Of War Be Guarded
New York. Nov. 18. .Pointing out
that while there are two elements of
danger confronting credit, there la
nothing In the financial situation which
might not be controlled through the re
adjustment period without unnecessary
strain, the council on credit defense ot
the National Association of Credit Men
has announced the formation of a
readjustment program.
Broadly, their program embraces a
plea for no abrupt discontinuance of
government contracts, no summary low
ering of commodity values and price ;
that industry itself be permitted to par
ticipate in the readjustment necessary
to a peace basis, and that credits be
kept liquid by, so far as possible, sub
stituting; negotiable Instruments for open
accounts.
While the report states that It la be
lieved to be eaeentlal that long-term
transactions be abridged, the opinion is
expressed that, with the demands to be
made upon us from abroad, prices
should not decBne to a pre-war baala.
Prices oEootwear
May Be' Stabilized
Boaton. Nov. 18. With reversion of
the war industries board' a order fixing
the price of ahoea. New England dealers
believe there will be a slight Increase In
prices of footwear. The manager of a
company selling one of the best known
makes of shoes declared that while the
price of shoes may advance slightly. It
will be very little above the average
prevailing price of from $8 to $14 for
the best grades.
