Cohen SLUGGISHNESS HAS BEEN RETAINED HERE ORDINARY BUTTER Trade Is Extremely Quiet for Any thing Except Selected Slock and Tone in That Line Is Not Quite as Good as It Was Short Time Ago. Sluggishness continues the main factor In the butter trade with the exception of in the better quality cubes and even in this line the strength of the market is scarcely as pronounced as It was a short time ago. Hue trrtvals of cube butter from various actions of the Lnltod States recently have caused slackening of buying operations here and this would indicate a Breezily toward shaded Talue in order to clean up more promptly. While city creamery intere&u ttill generally eprl the opinion that Uie trmd her is in rery rood thape; h lack of appreciation of any thing except the tiptop quality to likely to btve Its effect upon vtlues (centrally although at the moment sign are lacking which would indicate any sensational change in values, one way or the othT. , - The public is seemingly taking bold mor ot oleomargarine than for ordinary quality butter but lust why thi. is so the trade is unable to ex plain as comparatively speaking lh ordinary quality butter U considered superior to th so oalled substitute.

T.kima stork and tile more liberal local offering. Best stork is being purchased in the country at 12 cental. SUGAR PRICES ARE TO ADVANCE Owing to the fact that it is impossible to aecur suppUe of sugar from the refiaerie by steamer because of a strike, the local trade is compelled to bring in by rail, which means an advanced price on the next shipment. The new pric will be $9.70 per 100 pounds. SHARP DROP IN LINSEED OIL Sharp decline of 10c a gallon was quoted in linseed all for the day by local wholesalers. At the same time announcement was made of in advance of lie a pound in tlit price ol Whit lead in oil. SEW CROP "ALMONDS OFFERING First of tlie new crop almond ar being offered to the local trade by wholesaler! th first carload of the season having been re ceived. The new price on I. X. I is 28.1 pound here. This Is an advance, due to a combination of California growers. Oregon Onions May Go to East Inquiries Already Coming but There Is Lack of Refrigerator Cars. , , , By Hymen H.4?ohes N Indications are now pointing; to a lib eral movement of Oregon onions to the eastern trade. Many inquiries are being received from the Middle West for sup plies even at this time and although no sales are as yet confirmed, the' nibbling; by buyers haa been such that business Is likely at an early date. That Oregon onions are likely to re main at a high price this season Is In dicated at this moment, although none are daring enough at this time to fore cast what they believe the erice will be. Were It not for the fact that it is next to Impossible to secure refrigerator cars for shipment at this time, it is quite likely that outside business would already be passing. Eastern onion markets are tn very good shape and are absorbing quite lib eral Blocks Of California prowth, atock that Is considered far inferior to the Oregon product. Those desiring special information regarding any market, should writ th Market Editor, Oregon Journal, enclosing ttaatp for reply. LOWER PRICES ARE NAMED AT OPENINO FOR COTTON Hew Tork, Sept. 84. (L N. 8.) The cot ton market opened 5 to 15 point lower today n southern selling, and early weakness at Llver rool was followed by a recovery as hedge sell ing here was absorbed by covering orders. At the end of the first 15 minutes it was steady at a net lorn of about 6 to 7 points. The close was steady at a net decline of 1523 points.

This Is 6 cent A pound above tb previous extreme mark and is dae only to the fact that a fight is again waging for control of the trade here. No changes were made ia other hides. That hides may strike II a poaad hers oa ac count of the fight is forecast bat tali price Is beyond the basis la otter markets. Only eight loads of livestock entered the North Portland yarda over night. Hogs were steady to firm, cattle were weak, while there was a quiet tone in the sheep and lamb trade. While there was almost general weakliest rtot4 in tbe tattle division of th North Port land market, calves showed strength for vealers, top quality sold at $L6. a new high mark 1b the local trade. Little of this quality is coming forward, and Most of th demand it misapplied. Heavy calves have been in abundance, and aa tola Is considered midway between a real tal Snd t oow, values have been far below the top. Even though tales have recently been mad np to $11 in the steer division, it takes aa unusually good quality to bring that price today. General cattle range: Best steers 110 00 11.

There was a report on the board of trade late today tji&t the ateel Interests had noti fied the unions that unless the men re turned to work immediately, plaints would be closed down for six months. This, along with liquidation sales by longs and lack of buying support, caused sharp recessions in grain prices and corn closed at the bottom, with net de clines for tbe day of M to 1. Oats closed c to c lower, breaking in sympathy with corn. Provisions closed at a sharp reaction from bigb level of the day, but still re tained a gain of 25o to 55a from the previous close. Chicago.

There are two reasons for this decreased sup ply. First and perhaps chief of these ia the fact that the Willamette valley triis season haa perhaps Its greatest crop Of hay and that prices for Interior atock are so high that the local growth ia gen erally consumed instead. The faet that an embargo continues against Idaho hay le also a factor In limiting the supplies here. Last season bug stock of Eastern Oregon and Idaho alfalfa were tnipped to the PerUtnd trad and then reshlpped to Willamette valley points but thai season xhe clover crop was so good and the prlo so much last than the alfalfa, that the home product was considered good far all purpoae.

The editorial Mates the truth plainly, between speculation and Investment. It tells the reader the difference For over a quarter century, Morris Brothers, Inc., have sold Government tnd Municipal bondsthe same kind of Investment tecurities is the writer of the editorial recommends to his readers. His suggestion to keep your Liberty Bonds is wise counsel. Our suggestion to buy more securities of this character is a duty which w feel wo owe the public. Get-rich schemes thrive because they are .alluring. They fail after they have lined the pockets of promoters at the expense of Innocent stock pur chasers. Behind one there are extravagant statements and misleading promises. Behind Government and Municipal bonds there is taxable property, wealth and resources from ten to three hundred times greater than the amount of tbe indebtedness outstanding against the bonds. One has the word of one or more individuals who are promoting an enterprise for their own immediate benefit; the Other has the full faith and credit of a given government or mu nicipality, the people of which have obligated themselves to the issuances of bonds for purposes of development. One deals with an unknown quantity the other with existing resources, the value Of Which is constantly increasing. Are you speculating for fortune or are you investing for life? Be a coupon clipper.
