LIGHT STUFF IN GOOD
DEMAND IN PORTLAND
Market Is Erratic and Top Sales Fail
To Indicate General Trend OF COndi-
tions in the Yards; All Other Lines
Are Unchanged.
(courtesy OF the Journals

PORTLAND, Ore, April 9.-It de-
veloped today that aside from the sale
of light stuff Of quality the general
cattle market at North Portland is
not so firm. This is somewhat OF
surprise as the recent high mark paid
for top steers indicated a generally
strong tone in the yards here.
Steers that weigh from 800 to 1900
and even trifle lighter than the lat
ter weight, are in best demand and
command extreme values. Cows are
in excellent call but are not bringing
the former premium indicating better
than anything else that the general
cattle market is not as good as sur
face indications would testify.
General cattle market range:
Prime steers, 100 to 1900 sS.00@S.25
Good to choice steers 80. 7.75@7.S5
Common steers ......... 7.O0M 7.15
Prime speyed heifers -. 700
Good to choice dehorned
LOWS ............ 900 w i.VV
Best bulls .............. $50 a 900
Common bulls .......... 4.OO@ 500
Best light calves ........ 800 a. $50
Ordinary calves ......... S.00QS.75
Hog Market Is Steady.
For hogs a steady tone is ruling in
the local market. While there was
sale OF handful of stuff yesterday
at $50 or a nickel above the recent
extreme value, the general market to-
day was not considered above ss.65
either today or yesterday.
There was only light run of swine
available for the trade at the opening
of the market this morning. Buying
was of good character with former
price range generally in effect.
General hog market range:
Best. live. 175 to 225 lbs $50
Prime heavy, 225 to 250.. s,50@s.55
Rough and heavy ....... 1000 500
Pigs, rs to 1875 pounds -. 7.lo qs.25
sheep situation Is Steady.
Situation in the mutton and lamb
trade at North Portland was consid-
cred steady with former values effec-
tive. There was only limited run
over night and these were sold early
in the day. The sale of fair sized
lot of California spring lambs late
yesterday afternoon to Seattle pack
! er at S12 attracted considerable atten.
/ tio' from the trade, not so much or
| account of the price paid. which was
better than heretofore this season
but because of the excellence of the
/ quality. 1t is very seldom that such
extreme quality is shown at this pc
riod of the season. The lambs were
we'll worth the premium paid above
the general market.

TURKISH SULTAN
 AGAINST THE WAR
Was Forced To Enter Through Pres sure From Young Turks and
 German Diplomat

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 15.-The Sultan announced today that he was opposed to the present war with Eng land, France and Russia and that he was forced into it by the Young Turk party and the strong pressure brought to bear by the German am bassador
 The statement indicates much fric- tion and trouble in the government of Turkey. The Young Turks con- trolling the government insist upon war and are determined to regain the lost territory that was taken away from the Sultan as a result of the two unsuccessful wars with Italy and the Balkan allies. The Sultan, however, fears that if the allies are successful he will lose more territory and be driven from Constantinople.
 The friction in the government has caused the delay in military opera tions. Some of the followers of the Sultan are anxious to make peace at once if good terms can be secured.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Postmas' ter General Burleson in his annual report states that for the first time in it's history the Postoffice Depart ment is self-supporting and the in come is as large as the outgo.
 The postmaster general is greatly pleased at the success of the depart ment under his management.
 The House Postal committee has introduced bill to appropriate $325,- OO0,0O0 for the operation of the de- partment during the next year. The committee also .cut salaries to save $2,OOO,O00 each year.
 A policy of retrenchment is now in force at Washington. All heads of departments have been ordered to cut and slash salaries, discharge ex- tra men, cut down operating expen- ses, shut off the waste in supplies and in fuel and to maintain the strictest watch over expenditures, as the governments income is seriously effected by the war in Europe and the consequent loss of tariff revenues.

PRESIDENT CALLS
 CABINET MEETING Panama Situation Is Said To Be Acute-Japanese Cruisers Blamed for Violating Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Presi- dent Wilson today called a special meeting of the cabinet to consider the report from Col. Goethals regarding violations of neutrality by belligerent warships at the Panama canal zone. The matter is said to be more seri. .ous than the press reports at first indicated. Friction is believed to have resulted between the command CTS of the Japanese warships and the American officer The military commander is anxious that the Navy department send warships to Colon and Panama to guard the canal.
 Reporters have made every effort to secure information regarding the result of the cabinet meeting but without success. Several high naval officers were called to the White House during the meeting and Secre. tary Bryan was accompanied by the international law expert of the State Department.
 A number of diplomats called up- on Secretary Bryan shortly after the meeting but the reporters could se- cure no information from them.

Allies Waiting In France.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The allies will not press the offensive in France and Belgium until the Germans are so far into Poland that they cannot be quickly brought back and thrown against the French and British lines. The allies expect as soon as the Ger mans are far into Poland that they will be able to drive the western army from the sea.
 Russians Outpiayino Germans.
 The Russian commanders are giv- ing battle to the German invaders of Poland at points wehere railroad com- munications are weak and thus i'm possible to secure German reinforce ments quickly. This policy has re- suited in several big gains for the Russians.

Austria's Army Weakness.

ROME, Dec. 15.-The newspaper Stampa has received from Vienna g second article on the Austrian army
 in which the author analyses the cause of it's defeats. First there is, he says, the favorit' ism of the late ,Arcnduxe Francis Fer
 dinand, who promoted officers not be- cause of their capacity. but because they were Czechs. the nationality of his wife, or feryent Roman Catholics and anti-Semetist. These were the officers whose soldiers wrote ironical ly that lone victory succeeds anoth CT with such rapidity that the army will soon be back at Vienna or even Trieste" !
 Secondly, there is the confusion caused by the eleven languages ol the Dual Monarchy. At least two thirds of a company do not under

MATANUSKA COAL |S ALL RIGHT
Daniels Investigators Test Matanuska Coal and Find 1t Up To Navy
 Standard.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Secretary of the Navy Daniels today reported that the tests made by the depart ment experts of the Matanuska coal from Alaska and the tests made on the cruiser Maryland showed that the coal was up to the standard for the 1.ayy.
 The tests have been exhaustive Laboratory tests have been made, al. so tests under conditions of use on battleships with forced draft show ed that the Maryland could make her contract speed with the Alaska coal and that it is as good for the navy as any eastern coal.
 Alaskans here are greatly pleased at the report, as it was feared that should the report of the value of the Matanuska coal for naval purposes be adverse, as was that on the Der ing river roal, that the railroad in Alaska would never be constructed. Many Alaskans here fear that be- cause of the lack of money the gov ernment may postpone the construc. tion work for a year.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-All shop lights have been ordered extinguished iu this city at night. Both British and French authorities have been warn ed that the German Zeppelins are ready for an attack. It is expected the attack will be made against Lon. don or Paris. Both cities are pre- pairing to receive the airships.

The coast patrol has been doubled to give warning of the ap- proach of the German ships. The pee pie are in terror. All through the night the city was in darkness. The suspense is frightful.

Germans Checked In Poland.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 15.-The Ger man invasion in Poland has been checked. The kaiser's troops sent from East Prussia via Soldau to threaten Warsaw from the north have been defeated in two battles and are now back across the border. The Rus sians are not pursuing them because of the superior railroad facilities along the German frontier, but the troops have turned south to threat en the rear of the German troops op- erating between the Wartime and Wis tula rivers.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The allies are forcing the fighting in Belgium. The first line of German trenches have been attacked. The infantry have been successful in carrying many of the German trenches and are pushing the attack with great vigor. The center of the fighting continues near Ypres. The Germans have construct ed second and third lines of de- fense in Belgium. At points the al lies have forced their way to the second line and the withdrawal of the Germans from the third line is expected shortly. The battle during the past two days has been the most desperate of the war. Hand to hand fighting has been common. The al. lies have taken the offensive and have carried their way through the German line, but the cost has been terrific, as the enemy had planted many machine guns and their artil- lery was we'll placed. The Germans have lost heavily, also several thou sand prisoners have been taken and many guns captured. The battle con- tinues without intermission at all points. The fighting extends from the North Sea to Alsace and Lor- raine. The British and French war ships are shelling the German posi- tions near NieupOrt.

 They were to be ready next year, but since guns have been dispatch ed it is plain that Germany has ex- pedited their construction in order to spring another disagreeable surprise upon the allies.
