ing and the advance was lost. %.
The liberal buying OF swine by kill
ers and the better quality stuff that
has come forward recently has been
a direct aid to the market situation
locally.
Conditions in the swine trade east
OF the Rockies was somewhat firmer
most of the week and values showed
a small advance for tops although the
general range showed practically no
change.
There is little change in the hog
situation in, sight at North Portland,
and the market is very likely to fol-
low the supply and demand more
closely than usual.

Grass stuff Affects Mutton.

Grass StuIf A1lectS Mutton.
With greater volume of grass stuff
coming forward, although the total
run for the week was little greater
than during the preceding six days.
there was a generally easier and
weaker feeling in the mutton market
during the week. Prices in general
showed loss of perhaps Csc from
the previous week and the outlook for
the immediate future indicates still
lower range. although everything will
depend upon the volume of stuff that
Is offered.
Mutton market conditions were
mixed at points east of the Rockies
during the week. but the net changes
were limited and of little consequence.

Receipts of hogs at North Portland

,oal mining and 1Jewelry. ordefs from

coal mining and Jewelry. Ordehs from the country trade are slow. It is sim ilarly impossible to speed up collec- tions- Some of the trouble can be charged to the restlessness Of labor. In spite of the fact that capital finds its earning power reduced, the work CTS in some lines act as though their employers had the profits of a boom season to draw upon.
 Tn the winter wheat regions pros poets for the phenomenal crop have already led banks to call for funds to finance the movement. Cotton Is growing in, satisfactory manner in nearly all districts. Hay and pas tures promise we'll from one end of the country to the other.
 The corn area sown this year is equal to or better than that of any previous year in spite of such acre age as has been put to wheat. Ac- cording to present prospects oats should turn out about equal to last year.

Banker stotesbury
 Heads Reading Road

Philadelphia, May 9.-E. T. stotes- bury, fanancier and head of the banking firm of Drexe1 & Co. was elected president of the Reading Co. yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of the board of directors. The Reading Co. is- the holding cor poration for the Philadelphia & Read ing Railway Go. and the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co.
 In naming MT. Stotesbury president of the holding corporation the direc- tors did not elect him president of the two subsidiary companies, all though George F. Baer, at the time of his death, occupied all three posi- tions. The new policy of the Read ing management has been to distrib- ute its offices. MT. Stotesbury, how ever, is given a, controlling interest in both of the minor companies through his election as chairman of the board Of directors of each of the two subordinate companies at subee- quent meetings of the latter.
 The position as president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway was given to Theodore Voor11ees, who for many years has been the vice. president of the Philadelphia. & Read ing Coal & Iron Go. MT. Richards has been active in this corporation for many years.

Business Sentiment
 Noticeably Improved

New York, May. 9s-Sentiment in business circles has been notably bet ter this week than for some time past. This is due to recognition Of the fact that the country troubles have been largely of a mental nature while a. concrete factor crop out1coK has gained record breaking strength
 At. the same time, industrial centers are not in satisfactory condition. Such orders as come in, are more distinctly than ever Of the hand to mouth variety. Small shipments mean frequent rehand1ing of goods with ac- companying diminution of profits Absence of big orders for future de- livery also prevents confident expan- sion at point of production.
 Considerable fd1enass is seen in such lines as machinery, lumber, flour mill ing, glass making, cotton spinning.
