North Portland, Dec. 12@Cat-
tie Mondays run of cattle was
the smallest for many months, less
than GOO head. The market was
in general firm with a large de-
mand from butchers who bought
freely. Call from packers was
light, prices on the best grades
are steady to 25e higher, while
the large end Of the run, which
was Of common quality, sold
steady with slow demand.
Hogs-AIonday 5 run was a
good deal lighter than a week ago,
although il was a good sized to-
tai of 1000 head. Prices were on
about the same basis as last week,
although some sales made in the
later trading looked 5 to Zoe high
er. The market was not very ac-
tive at the opening but after the
first few loads started through
the scales buyers got busy and an
active market continued through
out the day. A number Of loads
brought 1910 to 1915: with the
bulk again selling at $500. Pigs
and half finished stock were here
in large numbers bringing 500 70
$3.50.
Sheep Supply of sheep contin-
ues very light, the only offerings
coming are from small lots of VAL
ley Sheep each day, but Valley
Lambs made aaother Zoe advance
bringing $500. No east of the
mountain sheep have been receiv-
ed TO test the real strength Of the
market. Valley yearlings sold mp
10 $3.50 with good mutton ewes at
&T.OO.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Weakness OF the Teutonic exchanges
stood out as the leading feature of the
weeks transactions in foreign exchange
English and French bills, on the other
hand. continued to display hrmness and
were maintained at practically the same
levels as the week before. German
marks on their decline went 10 68h'
a new low record. At the same time
Austrian kronen established new low
record at 1l.SG cents. One Of the m
teresting developments was the re-
coyery Of Swiss francs, which went 10
q premium for the first time since the
war began. Early in the week they
we're quoted at 517 to the dollar, com
pared with a parity of 5.1Sh. Russian
rubles Auctuated a good deal, closing a
fraction down.
II you calculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money-that ~
as if you were buying dollars with
pounds, marks or francs-its value at
the close of last week, as compared
with a year ago, would be about as
follows.

PRICE OF PAPER FOR
1917 IS ANNOUNCED

The international Paper Company
announced yesterday that its price for
renewed newsprint contracts covering
1917 requirements will be approx
mately $40 cents a pound net {. c. b.
mill. This announcement follows the
statement by =. T. Dodge, president
Of the company, about a month ago,
that the price would not be less than
3 cents (. o. b. mill Last year paper
cost the publishers only 2.l5 cents a
pound delivered.
The form Of contract under which
1917 newsprint will be sold has not
been determined. but IL is understood
to be the intention OF the company TO
fix the price for shorter periods than
one year. so as TO keep it in line with
the fluctuations in raw materials.
Entire outpu. OF the company this
year will approximate $4,000 tons,
$4,000 tons being drawn from the re-
serve supply

When people talk Of an embargo
on the exports of foodstufs they
mean all sorts of things. "The
Northwestern Miller" organ of the
-four trade, is panied TO hear that
the National Association of Master
Bakers has committed itself to the
idea that American crops ought to
be conserved for the American peo-
pie, which means an embargo on
the exports of wheat and flour"
The bakers have taken poll Of 100
newspapers. Seventy-four expressed
themselves in favor of an embargo.
THE Northwestern Miller" SCOTS at
this manner of ascertaining what
public opinion is, dismisses the news
papers that have expressed their
views as unimportant organs and
takes its position with "a well known
Pacific Coast miller" who says that
an embargo is unnecessary, political
ly impracticable and altogether i'm
probable. To this the -four trade
organ adds its own shrewd suspicion
that the talk Of an embargo is a new
form of German propaganda. The
National Grange, in session at Wash
ington, states the point of view Of
the wheat producer. If an attempt
were made TO put an embargo on
wheat exports he would rise against
all those who have been charging
him high prices; besides, he would
retaliate by decreasing his acreage.
He would have the last say. "But, y
adds the National Grange, eff enf-
bargoes are TO be placed TO help the
situation they should be on manufact-
ured goods, especially munitions OF
war. This would give the farmer
more laborers and reduce the prices
of what he buys" Will "The North
western Miller" suspect the National
Grange of German leanings when 1t
asks that embargoes be placed on
exports which tend TO increase the
scarcity, and therefore the price of
everything the farmer buys, and pro-
tects at the same time against an
embargo on what he sells?

month is likely to be impressive. The
chances are that more AUTOMOBILES,

figure In Christmas giving this year
than this old Quaker town ever thought
OF before. The only deterrent is the
burdensome scale of living expenses
which is making life miserable for the
clerk on a fixed salary. The most
unfortunate class in this community
is represented by the $1,000 year
Office man. who is getting no benefit
whatever from the increased prosperity
which has helped along every other

clerks SITUATION serious
This is a really serious matter which
some of the welfare organizations
ought to take hold OF. II IL is not
handled intelligently, the day is not
far distant when the surety companies
will have 70 raise their rates for
guaranteeing the good behavior Of cler-
ical employees. 1t is ridiculous for the
banks, the trust companies. the in

camille houses TO pay their clerks
wage which comes pretty near the star
walton basis in these days of exorbitant

any interference with traffic conditions
at this iuncture would be detrimental
TO large industries here. This is an
other possibility in a situation charac-
terized by record earnings, large
profits and the sort Of uncertainties
which make the shrewd business man
think kindly Of a large bank balance
even in a per cent money market.
