new GRAIN IS
in Big DEMAND

Portland. Ore. Aug. 2s.-The grain
men estimate that about 10000 900
bushels OF the new crop IN the Pacific
northwest have been sold to date.
Practically all This wheat has been
bought by few larger exporters. the
smaller dealers not being able to op-
crate to any great extent because Of
the extreme prices offered by the ex-
porters
Prices in many instances have been
several cents above export value of
the wheat A good part Of the pur-
chases are said to have been on export
basis. but where competition has been
encountered by bids they have been
made considerably higher.

Judge Baker RepIid

STANDARD OIL DECISION UPHELD
Every Corporation Has the Same Rights as an Individual
Offspring Of the Octopus Is Fined Instead Of Parent
Company Explains His Actions.

Goshen, md, Aug. 2es-Judge Fran
els E. Baker, of the United States cir
cult court of appeals, who reversed the
decision OF Judge Landis' finding in
the Standard Oil company's $29,s40.-
600. replied yesterday TO the critics OF
the court. ''In the first place" he
said, 1T was not the Standard Oil
company, incorporated under laws of
New Jersey, the parent concern. that
was on trial, but the Standard OH
company of Indiana, an offspring, and
undoubtedly much smaller and
weaker organization
when ii came to pass Judgment 1t
was on the offense Of the parent COM
pany that the Indiana off spring was
found guilty, and it was in accord
ance with the property and revenues
OF the parent company thar the fine
OF the off spring was guaged.

If 1T was the desire and purpose
Of the court to punish the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey that concern
should have been indicted. either joint
~ or separately. and have been
brought into court.
Every corporation has exactly the
same rights as an individual, no more,
no less. The parent company is, of
course more or less responsible for
the acts of the Indiana company.
People will sooner or later realize
that the courts are not swayed by any
other influence than the law and pre-
cedent What any one man may say
In regard re the decision Of the court
counts for no more than his opinion.
All l know in reality about the case
is that common thing has occurred
a motion for re-hearing has been
