Rather liberal shipments or whole and rolled
barley and oats are being made from Portland
to interior points, a very unusual condition, but
one reflecting the scant holdings in the coun
try. Movement and offerings of millfeeda show an
increase but values are firmly held at prices
printed in this report.
Very little alfalfa hay is being offered from
Eastern Oregon or Washington but soma is
available from Idaho. The freight rate from
the Ciera state is so high that this keeps pur
chases from that direction very email.
Flour market is extremely sluggish owing to
huge offerings from outside points.

Corn and Oats Up

Chicago, Nov. 21. (I. N. 8.) After ruling
Irregular and unsettled during the entire session,
with local traders changing from one side to the
other, corn prices closed at advances of lc

Chicago. Nov. 21 (1. N. 8.) Both grains
naa a strong undertone at the opening of trade
today. Corn, which opened fractionally above
yesterday's close, made alight gains during the
early trading, with local houses chiefly on the
buying side. On the upturn, while offers were
more numerous, they were not sufficiently evi
dent to cnecc tne rue.
Oata, which were a trifle below the close
of yesterday, maintained an even price, with
Duying reaauy aosoroing all oilers.
Provisions were dull and slightly lower.

ALL OVER COUNTRY AT MOMENT
BEAN
MARKET
GOES
EXTREMELY SLOW IN
THE LEADING CENTERS
California Trying to Sell and for
That Reason Quotes High Recent
Advance in the Price More Than
Lost Demand Is Stagnant.
Instead of showing strength as some Cali
fornia interests indicate, because they are try
ing to -sell, the beaa market Is actually allow
ing depression with, lower prices quoted In moat
centera where bids at all are obtainable.
The local buying price for rsclesned Lady
Washington beans in Iota here at this time is
7 m 7 e a pound f . o. b. To dste this sea
son approximately 10 cars of beans have been
chipped from this atate.
termers are now more inclined to offer their
supplies because they have found that while
they were freely offered IH a pound at the
start of the season the demand has been ebbing
since then and values have declined as they held.
similar weakness is shown in practically every
bean market of the country. While several
weeks ago Were was a small spurt in the de
mand for beans at eastern centers because the
government allowed canncrs to resume opera
tions aunng November. Oecember and Janu
ary, the Mc per pound gained at that time has
been more than lost since. In fact, at this
time it is extremely hard to find buyers for
beans in the eastern markets. One of the big
eastern buyers wired a local Ann that the mar
ket there lost more than lta recent advance
and at this time there is scarcely any demand
in sunt. Another wired that the market was
very quiet with no demand from any source
at the moment. This firm stated that owing
to the prevailing conditions it was even unable
to make a bid for supplies of Oregon stock.
Erratic Tone Is
Shown for Shares
In N. Y. Trading
- New York. Nov. 21. (L N. 8.) The stock
market showed a quiet tone at the opening to
day with only moderate changes in those issues
in which t&ere have recently been disturbances.
There waa good buying of Tobacco Products,
which carried the price fip.
Vtah was a weak feature and dropped.
After the quiet trading of the first 16 min
utes, a stronger tone developed in many of the
important stocks and good upturns were re
corded. Steel, industrials were strong. Mex
ican Petroleum swung over s wide range, droj
ping and then advancing. The railroad stocks
were in good demand. Corn Products was also
active and moved up.
Following the announcement after the meet
ing of the directors of the International Mer
cantile Marine company today that no action
had been taken on the sale of its British ton
nage, the preferred stock was poured on the
market and broke badly to 1 06 V4 . a loss of 6
points from the morning high. It later rallied
to 107. The common dropped from 27 H
to 25 H.

With only odds and ends again available
there waa little with which to test sentiment of
the cattle trade at North Portland so far as
tops were concerned, during the day. Total ar
rivals were small and this consisted entirely of
poor to ordinary stuff.
General sentiment of the trade was that
prices were steady.

PLUS PLAN
NOT IN FORCE IN
Ml
J. W. Hal! Denies Statement
Government Is Nw Building
Ships Under Old Arrangement
CONTRACT METHOD IS USED
Ships Either Built on Straight
Fixed Contract or by Tonnage
Cost in Case of Steel Ships.
Positive denial of statements unof
ficially made from time to time that
the 10 per cent plus cost plan la still
being- applied to shipyards in the Ore
aon district, waa today made by J. W.
Hall, assistant supervisor of the wooden
shipbuilding program in district No. 11
The rumor had gone out that aomo
of the plants in this uistrlct were
working under the plus cost method,
and that recently a large number of
shipyard employes were let out In
order to reduce the expense which
eventually would have to be paid by
the government.
Mr. Hall said: "Not a single ship
is being built in this district on ploa
cost plan, notwithstanding statements
to the contrary. Of course the gov
ernment reserves the right to plaoe
limit on the number of men employed
at the yards. But this restriction Is
put into effect at this time In order to
meet changed conditions. There was
a time when speed In construction was
the main Idea, but now conditions have
been altered materially. Efficiency is
now the watchword."
It is stated that the vessels in the
Oregon district, both wood and steel,
are being constructed on either the
fixed contract method, which applies
to the wooden craft, or the tonnage
cost as applied to the steel ships. In
cases where tha government, requires
extra work of the builders additional
compensation Is allowed them.

DAMAGE IS NOT SERIOUS
Captain of S. S. Fred V. Baxter Ex
onerated From Blame.
Despite the grueling experience of the
wooden ship Fred W. Bsxter, the vessel
which -was built at Coos Bay. came off a
sand spit in the Willapa harbor entrance
with slight damage to her hull proper
according to evidence submitted at the
Inquiry by Inspector John K. Bulger.
who exonerated the captain and crew
from blame for the mishap. The Bax
ter struck while crossing the bar, and
evidence showed that the captain had
steered his hln properly. It is pre
sumed thatcertaln changes In the bed
of the channel since the buoys were
placed might have had something to do
with the accident. The mastermind first
mate were on the bridge of the vessel
when she struck and soundings were be
ing made. The framage will necessitate
repairs to the stern post, rudder and rud
der post- Captain W. C. McNaught, rep
resenting the underwriters, estimates the
damage at $15,000.
