Higher prices all along the line are
the unwelcome news that must be im
parted to the abused consumer for thla
rainy Monday.
Tha new wholesale price of sugar,
which la practically 2c a pound higher
than the previous values, is now in ef
fect. This means at least 21c a pound
in the retail shops, but even at this

much money at Interest- It begins to
look, therefore, that a 25c market for
sugar is but a short period distant.
The next bad Item is that wholesaler

E STOCKS OF
APPLES ARE HELD
According to a report given out by a
local official, there are in storage In
Portland at this time 14.697 boxes of
apples, the greatest supply by far that
has ever been housed here at one time.
For this late period or the season, the
holdings are startling In the extreme.
That there were so oiany bo ice of applea
remaining here can rrareely be believed by tbe
trade generally. The totals are so "huge that

Sixty-seven carloads of livestock en
tered the North Portland yards over
Sunday and only a few of these were
direct shipments to other pointts. Last
Monday the showing was 69 cars com
pared with 97 two weeks ago, 93 four
weeks ago and 100 cars for this same
day a year ago. All lines showed
strength with a further advance for
hogs.
One of the big features of the trade was the
purchase by a Kalispel, Mont., butcher of 19
cowa at til 50 and four bead at til. This
is the first tine known in the local trade that
livestock was shipped from Portland right into
the heart of the cattle country. The cows pur
chased were not really toppers and the price
paid was surprisingly liberal.
In general the market for cattle waa firm
for the Monday trade, with toppy steers asain

was unchanged.

American Bed Cross
Worker Might Have
Been Murder Victim
Paris, April 19. I. NY S.) A sensa
tional murder mystery, with an Ameri
can Red Cross worker as the victim,
confronted the police today when the
body of Mary Ellen Appel was found In
a ditch in the woods near Versailles.
The fact that Jewelry and money were
found In the clothing- of the victim, led
the police to believe that it was a case
of suicide. This was strengthened by
the fact that several letters were dis
covered, addressed to members of the
young woman's family.

Agreement in Rogue
River Fish. Dispute
Is Declared Invalid
Salem. April 19. The-nxrepment en
tered into between the Macleay Estnts
company and the Rogue River Fish and
Game Protective ur&oclation of Medford
Is not valid and cannot be enforced by
the state fish and game commission,
according to 'Attorney lieneral Brown,
who holds that only the legislature is
empowered to enact such an agreement
as It Involves the annulment of a
statute. '
The agreement In question was n
tered Into March 11 In an effort to settle
the long standing Rogue river fishing
controversy. It prohibits the use of all
seines, set nets, diver nets and trammel
nets and provides that all commercial
fishing other than by hook and line
shall be -confined to the use of drift
nets having a mesh of not less than
SV inches.
Brown, In an opinion prepared for
the state Cah and game commission,
holds that under the present statutes
the board Is powerless to carry out the
terms of the agreement and .hat the
matter must be carried to the legisla
ture or the .people of the state for
settlement.

Dutch Dock Strike
Losing Out Because
Unions Discordant
i
;
By Leopold Aletrino '
Special Cable to ' Th Journal and tba CMoagw
' Daily New.
(Copyright, 1920. by Caicaso Daily New Oo,)
Amsterdam, ! April II Thestrtke of
the Dutch transport workers has already
lasted more than two months, paralys
ing harbor activities. The government
baa made repeated efforts to settle the
conflict which has become more of a
political than an economic struggle, but
both parties have declined official Inter
vention. The - employers show no sign
of being in a ; conciliatory mood owing
to the fact that the strike funds of the
dockers 'organisations are nearly ex
hausted. The labor arganisations differ with
each other about the time when tha
strike must be ended, but it Is generally
anticipated that the tie-up will soon
flssle out owing to lack of harmony
among the anions. Rotterdam ship
owners have received many thousands
of offers from1 German seamen who are
unemployed -because of the surrender of
the German rraerchant fleet to the allies.
It is said that a few Dutch ships will
sail next week, with German crewa The
niwininsn die approve of the use of
foreign labor.
