WASHES BROTHERS COMPACT By Hymaa H. Cohen Farther reduction in the price of soaps is announced by Jocal manufac turers.

These bars weigh around seven ounces, while eight-ounce bars coulp be sold at 6c each.

Holden in the case of the Poerlane Cattle Loan company against J. F. Peters, county treasurer and Sam R. Hutchin son, sheriff. L. J. Burd and C. W. Buck. Mon tana stockmen, had several thousand head of caule in the Yakima-valley last sprin when the assessor becan his work, and when the owners refused to pay the $2500 assessed against them the sheriff seised the cattle under distraint. The Portland Cattle loan company, holder of a heavy mortgage, pat up a cash bond for $4000 and the stock was released to go to market.

Hogs, cattle and sheep were about steady at former prices. " '.:!' Total run in the cattle alleys for Thursday at North Portland included about 1 7 cars, but of this amount 14 cars did not atop here. Of ferings, therefore, tor the day were but three loads and even at that the demand was not overly brisk, prices being held about steady. In fact, it takes exceptional quality to bring extreme prices in the steers and cow and heifer divisions and practically none of such quality is in sight. 1 The 14 loads' of cattle) that went through were for California interests, the buying by that section indicating a ' betterment in the general situation.

Jan. 6. (L N. S.) A sharp reaction in Liverpool, following strength earlier, checked bnllish enthusiasm at the opening of the cotton market today and led to considerable selling by, Wall street and the South which was absorbed partly by Liverpool. First prices lo cally showed advances of 2 to 20 points ex cept November, which waa 8 point lower. An nouncement that- a bank in London had sus pended payment added to the unsettled feeling, but the market appeared to be fairly. well sus tained after the start and at the end of 20 minutes was about 20 points under the initial level on March. Realizing caused recessions toward the close, with, the ' trading featureless. The final tone was steady and showed a net gain of 15 to 25 points. Spot cotton waa steady today, 15 No sales.
