Removed the Snow Sheds.

All the snow sheds that have done
service on the La Grande- Huntington
Division of the O. R. & N. have
been removed within the past year,
owing 10 the continued decraese in
the severity of the winters in East
Oregon and the lessened need for
such expense.
When these sheds were built 20
years ago the road through Pyle
Canyon WAS blockaded every winter
with snow, says the Pendleton East
Oregonian. The sheds were built to
protect the worst points and it has
been noticed by the track department
for the past ten years that the snow
fall, wind and drifts were less and
less severe each year, until the sheds
have become useless and have been
removed
During the winter just past no
trouble has been occasloned At the
points at which the sheds stood, al
though it has been the worst winter
in five years on the mountains
Even if the snowfall were as heavy
now as when the sheds were built, the
rotary snow pillow could be used to
clear the tracks and at the time the
sheds were erected the rotary was I'M
known.
The heavier engines today can also
s'wade" through heavier snow with
out interference than the former class
of small engines in use.

Cotton continues on the toboggan slide
with a persistency which indicates that
the crest of the rise Is for the present
broken. AS result OF the, fall in prices
cotton Is coming into market and planters
who were formerly holding back are now
anxious to sell. Buyers report that the
staple was much In evidence yesterday
although no large lump sales were re-
corded. Good middling is now quoted at
is cents.
There was nothing doing in stocks and
bonds yesterday. No changes in prices
were reported and all securities closed
steady.
Apples were plentiful along Morris ave-
nue. but they were not exceptionally fine.
The prices range from $3.50 to $3.50 per
barrel. Oranges are also selling we'll. but
other lines are rather scarce. Bananas
are not much in evidence, but the quo
tations are steady.
Eggs closed at % cents per dozen yes

rather unsettled. Poultry is scarce Small
supplies of game are on sale, but the

New York February 4.-The stock mar
ket was an irregular affair today all
though it gave evidence of being consid-
erably oversold soon after the opening
weakness. 1t is, as we have said, dis
tinctly trading market, and the scalp
ing position is more profitable than any
other provided both sides are utilized.
Good buying was noticed today in various
parts of the list. The Gates holdings are
said to have been considerably reduced,
and this menace is minimized. The war
news continued unfavorable. but there de-
veloped feeling that war itself has
been discounted. Money continues easy

good on Saturday the reports may bring

is encouraging. Total sales. $4,000

by H. W %. Beer.
New Orleans. February 4.--Liverpool
was again very disappointing, owing 20
the unfavorable outlook in the east and
our market in sympathy opened So to SO
points lower, subsequently advanced g. to
70 points on fresh buying, predicated on
the early firmness of spot holders and
the expectation of bulish weekly figures
tomorrow An unconfirmed rumor of war
having been actually declared started a
selling move later in the session, which
brought out stop orders, causing a break
OF 143 to 100 points from the top. Sup
porting orders about this time occasioned
a rally of As to 81 points from the bottom
as soon as this was withdrawn a recess
sion of about 80 points quickly took place.
making the net loss 1F to 1853 points on
the day.
We called attention yesterday to the
danger of the local market, owing to it's
being relatively SO much higher than
New York and Liverpool and that mark
ed decline might materialize If any unfa-
vorable outside features should transpire
Unexpectedly. Today an unconflrmed war
rumor and the weakness of Liverpool
have been sufficient to preciptate one
OF the heaviest declines ever known in
one day. All operators under the article
here are still firmly convinced that values
will ultimately seek much higher levels,
and claim that the decline of nearly 21s
cents from the top has been in anticipa-
ton of war in the east The question
arises have prices declined sufficiently to
discount actual war. The well posted
are of the. opinion that 1t has, yet there
are others who believe the decline may go
further. If those holding extreme short
crop views are correct, and the next CEN
sus report practically confirms them.
there Is no doubt sharp reaction will be
in order. especially If the eastern question
is settled amicably.
