CATTLE PRICES
UP IN THE AIR
EARLY WEEK QUOTATIONS
MISLEADING TO SHlPPERs
Run at Portland Four Times As
Heavy As Last Week-lnterior
Points Hold Better Prices-Chica-
90 Wheat Market Advances.
(From Fridays Journal)

With all the talk of a very snort
supply, the run of cattle to date TINS
week at North Portland has been al
most four times "a great as during
the same period last week. For the
five days of the present week the mar
keting of cattle here totaled l4Zo
head. compared with 416 head for the
same We days of last week. This is
eyclu i've of calves The run of calves
has been increased in proportion to
the greater offerings of cattle gener-
ally. This weeks movement to date
has consis ed Of 102 head, compared
with % head for the first five days
of a week ago.
Cattle prices here are "up in the
air" so to speak. The sale at 80
earlier in the week was misleading
to the general shipper and is expect
| ed to hurt he market While only
one lot wes taken at this figure. the
animals sold are said by all to have
| been worth the premium.
Real good steers would probably
bring S5.75 on the North Portland
market today, although the average
run of took would probably not find
| bids above $3.50.
Country short of Cattle.
The enti. oregon country is very
short of cattle and therefore prices
at interior points continue higher
han at North Portland. This means
that values here are out of line with
the entire country for prices paid a
south Omaha and Chicago are fal
in excess of those in effect here. HaC
, i not been for the fact that there arr
practically no cattle to offer at thl
time. shipments would have starte'
. ere this from Oregon for the Sout
Omaha yards. The differential be
tween the price is one of the creates
| known.
= At Chicago there was a weak ton
= in the cattle trade during the day, bu
: prices were unchanged.

Suggestions
BY FRANK S. wooDsoN,
Industrial Editor,

FROM a floating newspaper Item l
gather the Information that the Board
OF Trade of Americas. Ga. is circulat-
Ing an attractively illustrated pamph-
let describing the opportunities of that
little city and The county of Sumter.
In which 1t is located. 1 gather from
this same floating item that the Amer
ious. Ga. pamphlet issued by the Board
of Trade cost q good deal of money,
certainly not less than $1,000.
Virginia towns have q way of or
ganizing Boards OF Trade OF one kind
and another, They. the Boards of
Trade. bob up in night, like Jonah's
gourd, and in like manner they too
often bob down with the rising of the
morning sun. know of at least
dozen boards that so bobbed up and
SO withered and died. The trouble is
That the average Board of Trade in the
average Virginia town does not pro
vide for fund that Is worth while
does not recognize the fact that what
Is worth doing is worth doing we'll.
The only way that the average Board
of Trade has to provide a fund Is by
annual dues. initiation fees, etc They
are in the habit of making these too
low. l know of a town that organized
a Board of Trade, SO called, and in
the preamble and resolutions made all
kinds of promises of great things the
said board was going to do for the
town, and then limited It's income to
about So per member. BY It's best eff
forts It could not muster moro than
nifty members, which would make its
Income about 500 for a whole year.
With that little capital in hand the
board cannot. of course make good Its
promises. and the only result will be
that 1t Will fall by the wayside and
become the laughing stock of the com
munity.
suspect that this Americus, Ga.
Board OF Trade made it's Initiation fee
something like s25, and It's dues Of a
like amount. Thus. perhaps, It raised
something like $4,000. and with that
amount II can do some business. some

The story of Alfalfa.

The Business League of Demopolis,
Ala. mas issued booklet entitled
The story of Alfalfa and lis Home.''
and the booklet is for general and uni
versal circulation. It purports TO de-
scribe Demopolis as the METROPOLIS OF
the famous canebrake lands and its
site as the ideal location In the black
belt of Alabama. Information is given
as TO soil of that section and Its value
for raising alfalfa and other cropsi in
GLIDING corn,vegetables and fruits. The
Demopolis district is enthusiastically
described as an agricultural Eldorad
lumber centre for hardwoods as
we'll as pine. centre of inexhaustible
quantities of coment rock, sand and
clay found in close proximity. and a
location we'll fitted for stock raising,
poultry farms. ETC.
This booklet is a most readable
thing, and 10 me the interesting Dart
about it is that 1t does not enumerat to
a single good thing raisable and pro-
ducable in that rich section or Alabama
that cannot be more than duplicated
in better ways right hero in Old yir-
ginia. And, after seeing what Is being
done on the Rappahannock River bot
toms and in the hills of Chesterfield
county and Halifax county. and nu-
merous other counties of Virginia, I
must take issue with the booklet when
1t claims that Alabama Is the home
of alfalfa" Virginia Is alfalfa's real
home. If 1t has any particular home on
this big map of great big country.
