MARKET QUOTATIONS
Scarcity of Alfalfa and Hogs Creates
Little Temporary FURRY
in Market.

Potatoes are off, the Offering be-
ing of a poor grade and not more
than 40 per cent of those offered
can be graded firsts, and this great
range of grades is hurting the mar
ket The farmers would save much
more by sorting their potatoes very
carefully before taking them to
market.
The local commission men say that
a dull market is expected for the fu-
ture. There are many potatoes in
the valley of poor grade. The
market on potatoes is dull on the
sound owing to large offerings Good
potatoes bring good prices, but they
must be good
There is steady advance in hay,
and the demand is good. Alfalfa is
quoted higher and timothy is strong
at last weeks prices.
The outlook for hay is very good,
as it is scarce.
Flour is off cents sack in all
grades. The expected decline in
flour has arrived The price of
wheat did not warrant the quoted
price and -four has dropped a notch.
Creamery butter is off 2k cents
pound. All prices of creamery but
ter in the state have taken a tumble.
Chickens are weaker, as the set
ting hen is arriving, hence the de-
cline Of one cent a pound.
Veal is weaker, the demand not
warranting last weeks prices Hogs
are scarce and prices are good.
Hops.
The first shipment of hops to Lon
don, the burst consignment pool,
was made from Oregon March 90,
and contained 1900 bales. second
shipments of about 1000 bales will
soon follow.
There Is nothing new to report on
the local hop market, which contin-
ues dull and featureless, with holders
refusing to let go at prevailing
prices. Some small lots were sold at
8 u c per lb. The eastern market is
reported very much depressed.
One lot of 10000 pounds was
contracted Tor this week at 10 cents
and was filed with the auditor.
Contracting is still going on active
1 ly in Oregon and Washington. It is
estimated that over $4,000 bales of
the coming crop have already been
signed up by dealers at 10c. This
price would indicate that the trade
looks for the market to open up in
the fall around lie.
Wool.
There is no movement to wool as
general shearing has not yet set in
Indications already point to lower

prices this year than those that ruled
last year.
Although wool contracting has
again started up in some sections Of
the west, says the Oregonian, moth
ing has been accomplished by buy
ers in Oregon in the past week. The
deadlock between growers and pur-
chasers is as tight as ever. Oregon
growers generally ask zoe. The only
transaction that has come to light re-
Gently was in the Walla Walla coun
try, and involved five or six clips ag-
gregating 225,000 lbs. These were
secured at Is u a Ice. There has
been revival in contracting in west
ern Idaho on the basis of zoe IN
Montana the growers persistently ask
25c, which is at the present time
prohibitive to buyers. Nearly a
quarter of a million lbs. have been
contracted in Utah by a Boston rep
resentative at zoe and 21c. Wyom-
ing sheepmen are holding their clips
at % a Csc. In Nevada few small
contracts are being made at around
zoe. Shearing would have been GO
ing on now but for SHOWS. Spring
shearing is now in full blast in the
vicinity of Bracket. Tex. Arizona
woods are being bought up freely at
M22iac.
Vegetables and Fruits.
There was no great activity on the
sound this week and supplies are
ample for all demands. Apples are
very scarce: a few fancies are ar
irving and selling from $3.50 to SO
\ per box with prospects of still high
err prices in the near future, as sup
plies become more limited. There is
no change to the potato market in
Seattle, the market being fairly
steady at quotations. The call for
seed potatoes is very light. Austral-
ian onions are on the market selling
at $3.50 per 100 lbs.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit asso-
citation sold 1000 boxes of winter
apples to Seattle commission firm
recently for $4,000. This is said to
be the highest price paid for Wenat-
chez apples this year. The apples
are on the way to Seattle and the
price paid with freight added will
mean cost of $2.65 per box laid
down in Seattle, and from SO to
$3.50, according to grade, is likely
to be the ruling price to dealers

Tobacco Industry.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The tobacco
industry in the Philippines was dis
cussed by Secretary Taft during the
day before the senate committee on
the Philippines. He said the entire
amount of tobacco exported by the
islands annually was less than the to-
bacco production Of Lancaster, Pa
Secretary Taft said the United States
had nothing to fear from competition
with the islands as a result Of lower
duties on Philippine tobacco,
In Connecticut, Mr.. Taft said, LOO
pounds of tobacco was raised on an
acre; Pennsylvania raised 400 pounds
and the Philippines only 1876 pounds
Few of the cigars made in the Philip
pines were of high enough grade to
sell in the United States and the good
cigars made in Manila were manufac-
tured by such we'll paid labor that the
cost of their production was almost
equal to the cost of an equal grade in
the United States.

Lectures For Grade Pupils


The Society of Natural Sciences of
Buffalo has introduced a series of lee
lures for children in the public schools.
Each morning the children of certain
grades go to the rooms of the society
and listen to a lecture especially plan
ned for their particular stage of de-
Velopment
War Over the Verb ITO Read"
At Ludlow, Mass, the mill workers
are engaged in a contest with Superin-
tendent of Schools Gushee as to the
meaning of the word read" A new
law which went into effect Jan l re
qIiires that every minor under the age
OF sixteen years shall be able to read
Ina order to be employed in any bust
ness In spite of their having estab-
lished evening schools to help out de-
1icient children only six out of thirty
xix pupils were certified by the super
antendent as being able to read. He
says that Ito read implies an under
standing of the meaning of what is
read and not repeating words like a
machine" He asked the pupils to read
Aes0ps fable Of 1.-The Fox and the
Sour Grapes and after the reading
asked each pupil whether the fox got
the grapes or not All but six thought
he did. The parents insist that to read
means pronouncing the words on the
page before them so as to be under
stood by listener who understands
English.
Schools For Smart Pupils.
A demand for special schools for the
bright and gifted pupils is receiving
wide discussion at this time in Ger
many. Its chief advocate is DR.. J.
Petzoldt of the gymnasium in Spau-
den. near Berlin A translation of his
recent brochure has been made in this
country for the Literary Digest It is
in the secondary schools, corresponding
to the colleges in this country, that
this reform is advocated. 1t is argued
that all along public education has
tried to make provision for the intel
lectuaily weak, and no objection is
made to this, but it is deemed equally
important to give the fullest scope for
the development of the best endowed
students. Wisdom rather than charity
is thought to be the true criterion in
the arrangement of the curricuia. The
opponents of this plan contend that
the highest ideal of education at this
stage is the development of character
and the acquisition OF culture, for
which leisure is needed Thus the
~
bright student may use to advantage
his spare time for independent reading
or original research. "If education con
sists merely in the acquisition of
facts says one writer, then such an
innovation must be approved"

COMES Up IN SENATE

LEGEs DISCRIMINATION BY
COAL ROADS.

Washington, Febt g.-Mr Tillman,
IN the senate, referred to petition
previously presented by him from the
Red Rock Fuel company of West Vir-
ginia complaining that the Baltimore
and Ohio company had refused to per-
nit that company to connect it's tracks
with those of the Baltimore and Ohio,
thus, as Mr.. Tillman expressed it,
"bottling up the company"
He said that at the time Mr.. El<ins
had said there was remedy under
the state laws of West Virginia He
then presented letter from Governor
Dawson of West Virginia complaining
of the difficulty in administering the
laws. The governor added:
ut may be. that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company does not legally
own a controlling part of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad company, or
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
company, or the Norfolk and Western
Railway company. but I have no doubt
that All Investigation will show that
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
practically controls these three great
trunk lines, which traverse West Vir-
ginia and which are the only means
Whereby the products OF this state,
including coal, can be shipped to either
the lakes in the West or other mar
kets in the East.
In the Grasp of Trust.
Hence it is fact that West Vir.
ginia today is in the grasp Of a rail-
road trust, which practically says
what part OF the state shall be de-
veloped and what shall not be deVel-
oped, how much coal shall be shipped
out of the state, to what points or
parts it shall be shipped and when it
shall be shipped Of course it makes
its own rates and we are helpless
The Pennsylvania railroad is very
largely interested liz the production or
shipment of bituminous coal; it will
naturally look after it's own interests
and the interests Of the people along
its lines in Pennsylvania and else

The governor concluded by request
ing an official Investigation into tire
state of affairs and Mr.. Tillman said
that he would move for such an in
vestigation but for the fact that the
house was moving in that direction
He said that. as the letter came from
the Republican governor Of the state.
1t was of transcendent importance and
he did not see how an investigation
could be refused and. unless the house
should move in that matter he would
ask the senate to order an inquiry.
