Cold weather, together with shortened
supplies,- have stimulated the demand
for mjllstuffs and other feeds in all
parts of the Pacific Northwest. Higher
prices in general are . being quoted In
the feedstuff market.
Hillfeeds 'are ahowlng a further rise of BOe
to $1 a ton in the wholesale market, following
similar risea at the mill. Wholesaler are
asking as high at $40 8)66 a ton.
Globe drain A Milling , Co. advises regard
ing the hay situation:
"Arrivals during - the past week hre bees
moderate, but anfficient for local reauirementa.
Owners of bay in tba Interior hr advanced
their prleea, and the market ia about 81 a ton
higher than a week ago. Considering the ex.
tremelr bed weather, this is a moderate ad.
ranee. Fortunately, there is a fair amount
of horns grown hay in the valley, which has
reduced the demand for alfalfa. If the re
qnirement were equal to tltoea of last year
there would not be sufficient supply available
from the interior. With the greatly increased
consumption among feeders la tba bay grow
lng country, ws can hardly look for any re
ceeaion in prices, and SJfurther advance of
dollar or two would not be unexpected.".

RAILS AND OTHER
STOCKS HURT BY
BREAK IN MARKET
Call Money Rate Went to 15 Per
Cent Friday and Many Stocks
Dropped 3 to 15 Points.
By Broadan Wall
New Tork, Dee. 18.- Another bad
break in the stock market Friday
followed action of tha federal' re
serve hank in advancing the dis
count rate on loans secured by gov
ernment obligations. The breaks In
active stocks ranged from S to II
pointa with st slight recovery at tha
close. There) waa genuine llquida
Hon to such an extent that the short
interest did not bother covering Its
outstanding contracts. Only s. few
email traders who had been on tha
short side got out of the market.
The real short Interest did not cover.
Money went to 16 per cent aad closed
at .
It Is useless to discuss Individual
stocks in such a market as that of today
for not a single issue moved because of
Its own particular value hut simply be
cause It waa in the srlo of general clr
cumstances that swayed the market. If
some stocks broke more than ethers It
was because they had beenTnore active.
The deolinee were in exact proportion
to recent advances.
BAILS MAKE HEW DROP
The rails distinguished themselves by
their weakness and Pennsylvania sold
down to the lowest price In years aa did
Oreat Northern, Northern Pacific and
Atchison- The railroad companies are in
receivership but ' that receivership is
camouflaged by government control. If
they are released from government con
trol they will immediately be compelled
to go into the hands of Individual re
ceivership and then follow an era of re
organisation such aa the country has not
seen for two generations.
Leading financial authorities believe
that the only thing that can prevent this
disaster to the railroads Is speedy legis
lation by congress which will enable
them . to earn sufficient to pay their
fixed charges.
The war has worn the railroads out
and they need half a billion dollars of
improvement to restore them to the con
dition existing Just before the war. Even
then they were not in good condition,
so that it la not an exaggeration to say
that they, need a billion dollars of new
money, t . : .-
LITTLE FELLOWS INJURED ,
The government Is not likely -to ad
vance this money because a billion dol
lars spent on highways for automobiles
would do the country more good. It ts
therefore most likely that the roads will
be permitted to go back Into private
hands without adequate financial provi
sion. Only the time of doing this la in
dOUbt .
The pitiful thing about the railroad
situation la that the big people are not
being injured.' Tha captains of Industry
sold their railroad shares long ago and
the victims now; are small investors,
widows, orphans, charitable institutions,
savings banks and insurance companies.
Foreign exchange made 'Its usual low
record, the pound sterling going thla
time to 8.6675. Thls-fs far below the
lowest the pound sterling ever went and
it means V further barrier to, American
exports to Europe. ,

WALTER COOK DECLARES
Local Bank Cashier Is Cptim Stic
for Business Outlook After In
tended Trip in the-Easf.
Walter M. Cook, cashier of Ladd A
Tfiton's bank, returned recently from a
five weeks' journey through the East, '
where he visited Chicago, Cleveland, Bos
ton, New Tork and numerous , sther
cities, taking in New Orleans and , San
Francisco on the return trip. Cook's '
trip, being one of pleasure aa well, as
business, afforded hlra the opportunity
of being present, as he puU It, "with the
other 61.000" who attended the , Tale
Frlnoeton football gams,
lis reports 'the moat prosperoua on
ditlona everywhere be went with hotels,
trains and restaurants crowded to the
utmost limit and the lavish expenditure
of money on every hand. From conver
sations he had with business men and
with anma eif the mftnt tinted financiers
of the East he gained the impression
that all are anticipating a long drtawn
, Mnlut K. un j,anltat enjt- l&hnst ,
but he says, "there was observable a
disposition on the part of all to. frankly ,
admit that the blame for the present
labor troubles is not one-sided, and a
corresponding . optimistic feeling that
there were enough sane minded, men on
both sides of the controversy to Insure,
eventually, a happy adjustment of their
differences.- ". r"i'-
With abundant time for leisurely, ob
servation, Mr. Cook returns with
strengthened conviction that the bank
