TEXANS ARE ANGRY
AT WALL STREET

The pride of Texas has been touch
ed by certain developments in Wall
street during the past year, and 1t is
the intention of several prominent
legislators to get back" during the
session now beginning. Prominent
business men of the state declare that
spirit of boycott has been noticed
in Wall street against Texas securi-
ties. loans and investments, because
Of the displeasure It feels regarding
certain phases of the Texas insurance
laws. The people are thinking of re-
taliating by exempting Texan coun-
ty and city bonds from taxation so
that home money may buy the bonds,
because the money drawn as interest
would be net profit. II the legislature
finds that 1t has not the authority to
enact such a statute, a constitutional
amendment will probably be submit
ted to the people for their ratification.
The state would be losing nothing by
exempting these bonds. as no revenue
is now being obtained from that source
because of the bonds being disposed
OF beyond the states limits. Good
business policy would prompt the sug-
gested change, as all the interest
money now being sent away from Tex
as would be retained at home and
spent among the home citizenship, to
the material advancement of the
states internal interests.

Potato Growers Selling.

Potato growers of oregon are not
so firm in their views and some are
letting go.
The fact that outside markets were
rot nearly as strong as some Of them
had believed. has led to the change
OF opinion. In the vicinity of Newberg
quite number of lots have been Of
fered. 1t is stated that the growers
there have held a meeting and decid-
ed to accept 81 for their best stock
f. o. b. at this time rather than hold
for higher prices later.
There Is only a small amount or
stock going to the south at this time.
Best Oregons are quoted in San Fran
cisco from $3.50 to $3.50 per Genital
This would mean s1.25 a 1.35 here ex-

Exporters were offering an advance

were quoting club on the basis of sic

Some buying continues on this
basis at interior points but the move
ment has been rather restricted since

There was a weaker feeling at Liver
pool today in spite of the sharp ad-
vance at Chicago yesterday. Although
the opening of the foreign market was
a fraction better owing to the greater
strength shown by Argentina and
Australian offerings. However, less
continual demand caused the late de-
cline.
Today's prices in the wheat and
