COUNTRY MEATS ARE II F. 1,1) FIRM Market for country killed meat is showing a firm tone along the street with good quality Teals and hogs easily commanding extreme prices. Rales nf calves are now shown an high as 21c a pound along the street. By Hymaa H. Cohen That the laws regarding the sale of cold storage eggs are not being en forced rigidly in Portland has been known for some time, but Just now It appears that officials are paying little attention to this matter, -which means vital protection not only to the con sumer, but to the entire poultry in dustry. All over the city cold storage eggs are being sold without the placard Which the law calls for a sign which will protect the consumer against fraud. Much "hot air" has been wasted in telling of the enforcement of this law- hut It remains a fact that the law is absolutely a dead letter except in a few Isolated instances. j The matter Is called to the attention of the Oregon Poultry association, as the enforcement of the law means much to the future of the industry. Bullish Tone in Early Grain Trade By Joseph F. Prltchard Chicago, Nov. 2T. (I. N. 8.) There was a ragged closing in the corn market, following an other one of those sessions where prices moved upward and downward in trip-hammer style. The declines were S ? .

With the local element bullish and offering slight, corn was c to lc higher at the opening of the market today. Commission houses were on the buying side and the undertone was good through out the eary trading. Oata followed corn with a fractional advance at the opening. Commission houses hold selling orders above 72c. Shorts of yesterday Joined in the buying, which was favored by locals. Provisions were even at' yesterday's close, with a dull, unfeatured trade.

Max Houser, second rice president of the Food Administration Grain Corporation, recently re turned from a ' conference in Washington, says that all wheat supplies of the states of Oregon, and Washington will be cleaned up by the cor poration by the middle of January, or the first part of February. Mr. Houser says that the Grain Corporation is doing all in its power to hurry the movement of wheat, and its success has been phenomenal, considering the obstacles. While the corporation did not buy as much flour for Decemtier shipment as it had expected it will purchase liberally at the righrprices In t$e future. Mr. Houser says that the smallness of the December purchases was due more to the diversion of ocean tonnage to other sources than anything else. "Mr. Hoover and Mr. Barnes are now in Eu rope studying the situation." says Mr. Houser, "and will endeavor to carry on their work to even better advantage than previously." It is not likely that the Grain Corporation will remain in business much longer than the Food Administration, except for such period as will enable it to clean up its affairs in proper shape. In the meantime Mr. Houer will remain in lull charge in the Pacific Northwest.

Y. Trade New York, Npv. 27. (I. N. S.) The trading in all tjjav marThe issues at the opening of the stock market today was attended by the great est degree of excitement that has been witnessed on the floor of the stock exchange for a long time. There was an immense crowd in Marine preferred long before the opening with many ot the brokers having orders to execute at the be ginning of business arranging with the others for fair stocks. As soon as the gong sounded many of the crowd climbed over other brokers' shoulders in their efforts to buy most of this demand. The first sale were recorded at 8000 shares at from I 112 to 110. (showing a gain of 8 H points over yesterday's closing as a directjresult of the an nouncement of the government's offer to buy the British lines, published this morning. The com mon stock opened up 2 at 27 H and the 6 per cent bonds opened up 5 H at 1044. After the opening Marine preferred was traded in on a large scale at prices -ranging from 111 'si to 110. Atlantic Culf advanced 3 H and American In ternational Corporation rose 1 to 554. The unexpected development in International Mercantile Marine overshadowed everything else as a market influence in the trading and Irregu lar change were noted in the rest of the list. Steel common declined and Baldwin yielded. General Motors advanced. Concentration of attention of trading in the marine issues in the early dealings had a disturb- tne Influence on the rest of the list, and at the seme time unsettlement was caused by the po litical and money situation. The demand for Marine preferred was not maintained. There was pressure against some of the spe cialties. Mexican Petroleum falling over 4 points and Stndebaker yielding. The steel issues were also weak. The market was generally heavy in the after noon wi'h Studebaker allowing pronounced weak ness and Marino preferred greet strength. The latter, after moving up to 119 H. an upturn of 15 points for the day, dropped to 114 while Studebaker fell over 5 points to 60 H Mexican Petroleum was also weak, dropping to 1554.

R. A. Blanchard. agricultulturist. Livestock State bank ef North Portland, reports some very encouraging conditions. He waa driven over the country by F. H. Gaulle, president of the First Bank of Joseph. In commenting on the productivity of that section he said: "Wallowa county Is one of the richest in the state for the population it ear ries. More hogs are raised here than in any other eastern county, and about 500 carloads of Mexican Petroleum. livestock annually are snipped irom tnis section, Miami Copper which is directly tributary to Portland. The Midvale Steel . . banks are growing rapidly and extend to their i Ma Pacific. . . patrons excellent facilities. Portland loan com panies maintain a very nice business. "Cashier McDaniel of the Stockgrowere and Farmers National bank, at Wallowa, has placed many small bands of 6heep with the grain farm ers, who declare this to be a very profitable en terprise. "Cattlemen will not feed until about Christ mas time, and all livestock is in the best of con dition. I saw cattle off the range so fat, that they looked as though they had been on full feed."

Per manent federal supervision of the stock yards is recommended by Secretary of Agriculture Houston In a statement made public today. , Houston also 'declares that the sys tem has succeeded so -well that. In his opinion. It should be extended to include related interests and urges prompt Con gressional action to make the plan pos sible. His statement is contained in a Jeng-thy review of the agricultural and food situation in the country. "As you know, the department, at the direction of the president, is now admin istering: under license the control of the stock yards and related Interests," Hous ton said. The important results already ac complished under this authority clearly demonstrate its usefulness and empha- izes the desirability of continuing: it or some other adequate form of supervis ion. "The question also of exercising- alml- ar authority over the slaughtering. meat packing and related interest is one for' serious consideration. The food ad ministration has placed limitations on profits on meat and by-products handled by the establishments and required the Installation of uniform accounting sys tems. In this way the centralisation of con trol by a small group of packers have been materially checked. "The economic -welfare of meat pro duction and distribution would be pro moted by the continuation and develop ment In some form of the supervision over the packing industry. 'Such control, of course, should be closely coordinated with that of the live stock markets, and thera should also be established a central office -which packing concerns should be recurred to report currently in such form ana de tail that it would be constantly informed concerning their fenerations. The nec essary legislation should be enacted at the earliest possible moment.

The latter reduction would mean a loss for that state ot BOO.ooo acres, but on the other hand recent crop reports from other states have been favorable. With such large quantities of wheat remaining on hand a re duction of even 26 per cent for New South Wales would not be very serious. The coming crop of the whole common wealth is estimated at lOO.oon.ooo bushels of wheat which would give 70.000,000 bushels for export. Adding this surplus to old crop remaininc leaves 266, 000.000 bushels available for export.
