Many Beavers Plan
To Winter in South

Los ANGELES, Oct. 14.-Several OF
the Beavers are planning to winter In
Los Angeles, and not the least OF
these is Mandarin McCredie.
Mas will first make his annual trip
into Curry county in quest OF big
game. Having exterminated the lions
and grizzlies, he will come south. ac-
companied by Mrs. McCredie, and pass
the major part of the winter here.
Chester Cdahourne, Ty Lober and
Hi West also plan to do most of their
alternating here, although Lober may
return to his home In Pittsburg later
in the winter.
Vests wife and daughter are al
ready living in Los Angeles. Hi has 4
habit of passing the on season IN 4
Clothing store and has already Sc
cured a position with a local concern.
Los Angeles has no love for Port
land in a baseball way. but the Veav-
ers are fine bunch personally. and
there is not the slightest objection to
entertaining them through the winter.
Cant blame them for not wanting to
linger in Oregon.

COTTON UNSETTLED;
PRICES MODERATE
Reaction Follows Strength
Shown Early in the
Week

New York. February 14.--After show
ing considerable strength gdurlng the
earlier week, cotton became somewhat
unsettled. with prices reacting moder-
ately under realizing and renewed
pressure from bearish Wall street or
southern sources. Unsettled conditions
outside Of the cotton trade itself, seemed
largely to account for the increased
offerings encountered on an advance of
about 81 per bale from the low records
OF last January.
The continued struggle in the Balk-
ans. the nervousness noted in practical
ly all the worlds financial centers. the
Mexican revolution and various legis-
lative uncertainties, have all figured.
apparently, is bearish arguments, as
suggest condition of affairs against
the ability of sustained bull move
ment on any less important factor
than actural scarcity. At the same
time, offerings have been quite readily
absorbed, spot markets have been
steady, and while sentiment at the
close of the week showed a somewhat
lbearish leaning, particularly in Wall
street circles, there were not few
traders who expressed a favorable view
of the situating.
The week end figures proved rather
less bullish than expected, but the sta
apparently, Is bearish arguments, as
terially since the first of the year and
the census figures on supply and dis
tribution for the month of January re-
ceived a bullish Interpretation.
Domestic mill consumption for the
month was $4,000 bales and for the
first five months of the season. domestic
mills have been consuming cotton at the
rate of about 100000 bales per month,
or Approximately 5.76o.O0O bales per
year. Deducting this from a CONNER
cIal crop OF about 14,25O,000 bales, the
bulls claim it leaves a comparatively
small margin for the seasons exports
and argue that talSings must show a
very sharp falling off between now and
the end of the season IL the visible Is
not run down to a dangerously small
figure.
Domestic mills, according to the cen-
sus figures, held about 1,9i1,000 bales
| or approximately four months require
ments on January 81. This is a larger
supply than last year, but local sta
tistieians figure that to maintain a mod
| crate reserve, they must still take fully
| 900, 900 bales from this crop, II actual
consumption continues at the present
rate.

STRENGTH IN WHEAT
The Close Was Steady at an
Advance of 1-2 to 5-Sc
to 3-4c Net

Chicago, February It'll effects of
Idry weather in Nebraska and western
Kansas caused wheat today to develop
strength. The market closed steady at
an advance of y a sse to a.c net.
Corn gained Y a sc to sc. and oats

visions was the same as last night to
i10@121sc higher. Short sellers who
displayed an aggressive spirit in the
first part of the day took fright later
at the size of offerings and their ab-
sorption. The buyers had been acting
largely on Omaha reports of impaired
crop prospects. Afterward portions OF
Kansas were added to the district said
to be handicapped by lack of moisture.
Unexpected flrmness at Liverpool in the
face of yesterdays weakness on this
side put the bears at disadvantage.
Worlds shipments promised to be
light and there was still need of rain
for India. 1t was not until bullish ad-
vices came from the west that the
market took a decided upward bent.
On the wind up prices were holding
within &c of the sessions best. II be-
came too popular to press the selling
side of the corn market. Offerings were
gobbled in by strong interests and there
was a general stampede to cover at a
material advance. Expert call was miss
ing except at wide discount. Oats
veered lower because of hedging sales
but swung around on resting orders to
buy when wheat and corn both rallied.

BUSINESS IS GOOD
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Wholesalers Think Recent
Freeze Did Not Damage
Fruit Crop

Trade on Morris avenue with the whole
salers continues with brisllness unabated.
The receipts yesterday were fully ade-
quate for the good demand and the prices
showed little change from those that
have prevailed for the past week.
All indications yesterday pointed that
there would be a good clean up trade in
evidence today the last day of the week.
Indications also point to a brisk trade
throughout next week and the wholesalers
are all jubilant at the prospects.
Most of the wholesalers on Morris ave-
nue. are of the opinion that the recent
freeze had had no effect on the prospects
of a good fruit crop this year They
claim that the buds of the peach trees
had not as yet come out and therefore the
freeze did not have a disastrous effect

VAST IMPROVEMENT
IN STOCK MARKET
Union Pacific and Steel in
Forefront of the Advance.
No Nervousness

New York, February 14,-There was a
distinctive Improvement in stock trading
and its tone today The downward move
ment of recent days was checked and
there was no trace of the nervousness
which was evident at times yesterday.
Bear traders renewed their attack early
in the day, but were able to make little
headway except in the copper group.
Operators on the short side apparently
were less sure of their positions, and evi-
dence that the market was offering ef-
fective resistance to bear selling led to
considerable covering. The market mar
denod and during the latter part of
the day rose well above yesterdays close
with Union Pacific and Steel in the fore
front of the advance. Before the close
there was a reaction, and final prices
showed small and irregular changes. The
declines in the copper group We're based
upon a further break in the metal mar
ket. Both the London and the Berlin
markets we reconsiderably lower, and
while the leading selling agencies here
We're reluctant to eoneede that their quo
tations were being shaded, it was said
that some sales were being made at 15c
for electrolytic copper, compared with the
recent figure of 16I5c.
News of the governments further prose-
cution of the anthracite coal trust was
followed by big Lackawanna break. Can
stocks moved against the market in the
forenoon, both common and preferred ris-
ing, while the remainder of the list was
heavy, but these issues for the time being
at least have lost the prominence which
they attained during their recent boom,
and their fluctuations were of little influ-
ence. Another loss in cash was indicated
by the week S known movements of cur
Iency, although it is probable the banks
will lose less than last week. Prelimi-
nary estimates suggested a loss of only
about Sl,0o0,000. Definite news from Mex
ico and in regard 10 the threatened strike
of eastern railway fremen was lacking.
Spectators were disposed to await these
developments. .t
Business was much smaller than on the
preceding day. London was a buyer in
this market, taking about 10000 shares
on balance. Bonds with few exceptions
were sluggish Total sales. par value. 81
