PLAN MEMORIAL
IN OREGON To
HARDING
Erection of Vista House on
Top of Blue Mountains
Is Proposed.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, June
25.-Plans for the erection of what
will probably prove one of the
most imposing memorials to be
dedicated to the memory of the
late President Warren G. Harding
have taken big stride forward
with the announcement that a
meeting will be held in Milton,
Ore, on or about August / to
carry the work forward and pro-
vide a financing plan.
The plan calls for the erection
on the top of the Blue Mountains,
near Meachem, Ore, of a vista
house to be surrounded by a park,
which will provide a resting place
for tourists along the Oregon
Trial, as well as sort Of shrine
for patriotic Americans. It is pro.
posed that at least section of
land be secured, a portion of which
shall be timbered. A golf course
is part of the undertaking, with
the tourist part of the park fully
equipped with every convenience.
Scenic Trail of West.
The Oregon Trail is one Of the
scenic trails of the West. Its
| course through the Blue Mountains
! is especially attractive, and the
erection Of such memorial and
| the creation Of the PARK would I'M
doubtedly draw many thousands of
tourists annually. Such a park
| could be made headquarters for a
| stay Of a week or more, with side
trips to many spots Of unusual
! beauty.
President Harding delivered one
Of the most inspiring addresses of
his affiliated trip at Meachem. At
the time of his visit he was strong
| ly impressed with the beauties of
| the mountains in that vicinity and
expressed a wish that they could
be viewed by every lover Of nature
| in America.
of the memorial is aeaded by A.
| staunch Democrat, OF Southern ex-
traction, who is known throughout
| the Northwest as the Father of
the Old Oregon Trial. Among its
supporters are men and women of
| every political faith. 1t is strictly
a non-partisan movements desire
| on the part Of patriotic Americans
of the Northwest to pay honor to
a great American.
Approved by Governors.
Governor Walter M. Pierce, of
| Oregon, and Governor Louis F.
Hart, of Washington, have ap.
proved the project, as have Repre-.
sentatives in Congress from the
| two States who have been ap.
preached. The newspapers in
Southeastern Washington and
Eastern Oregon have Endorsed the
scheme, and all that defers its
contamination is the perfection OF
a permanent organization and Sc.
curing the funds to carry it for
ward.
jefferson Myers, State treas
urer Of Oregon, has offered a
financing plan that is meeting
| general approval. He proposes
that Congress be requested to is.
sue gold dollars in sufficient
amount, that when sold, will pro
vide the funds for the erection OF
the memorial and its perpetual
maintenance. Myers suggests that
these gold dollars can be disposed
of at a premium sufficiently great
to finance the scheme. 1t is pro.
posed that these gold dollars bear
the portrait of President Harding
on the diverse side and on the
reverse side the official insignia
Of the Oregon Trail. If necessary
Mr. Myers proposes that a sou.
venir half-dollar be minted and
disposed of in the same manner.

COTTON MARKET SUFFERS BREAK
May Crashes To 149 Points Be- low High Touched In Ad-
 vance Of Monday

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-There was a severe break in the cotton, market here today, with May, contracts selling off from 34.35c to 33.4sc or 77 points net lower and 149 points below the high price touched on the advance of last Monday. May closed at 33.50c, with the general market closing easy at net de- clines of 72 to 75 points on present crop months and of 20 to 29 points on later deliveries.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of one to four points on all months except December, which was 5 points higher. Liverpool made a rela- lively easy showing. but the initial of- ferings were readily absorbed, and the market stiffened up several points right after the call on covering and buying which was supposed to represent price fixing for trade. March rallied to 34.15c and July to 32.S5c, making net ad- vances of to II points, while the new crop sold about to F points net higher.
 Offerings increased at these figures, and while there was another slight rally during the middle of the day on T eAhoAS cA PAANdtC uICS oh domestic consumption on January, the market weakened again in the late March sold off to 33 soc and July to 32.05c, making net declines of 73 to 77 points. New crop months were relatively quiet and steady, but October declined to $2S.05c and Decem- Der to 27.65c, or g to 28 points net lower. The close was within a few points of the lowest.
 The afternoon selling movement seemed to be promoted by reports of continued poor demand for cotton goods in the domestic markets, including ad- vices from Worth Street to the effect that nothing better than a hand-to- mouth was expected there unless the new crop should get ain unfavorable start. There were also unconfirmed rumors that spot cotton was being of fered little more freely in the inte- rior, which may have contributed to the late decline Private cables reported c quiet market in Liverpool.

ALL DELIVERIES OF CORN HIGHER
Touch Seasons Top. Price, But Y Suffer Somewhat Of A
 Setback Later

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-All deliveries of corr today reached the t0pmost prices yet this season, but profit taking sales led afterward to something of a set back. The market closed unsettled 1s to Ac to %c net lower; May, s1hc to S1Mc. Wheat, which even more than corn was affected by selling to realize profits, finished heavy, la to 1c down. May sl.11n to S1.11% and July, 1.11h to 41l1k. Oats closed h to 1s1A off and provisions varying from 1oc de- cline to 10c advance. T
 On the new upward sweep of the corn market, the May delivery rose to S25Sc; with July and September each the remainder of the day, however. despite constant fresh buying, the vol ume of sales proved sufficient to hold values down to . little under yester- days finish. There were some late re- ports that hauling of corn was being resumed in Iowa with considerable freedom. On the other hand, advices from different sections pointed to un- favorable conditions for the crop move- ment with cash demand here continu- ing on basis of + to hc premium for spot delivery as compared with future months.
 Announcement that receipts of corn here today totalled a trifle above 800 carloads had some effect toward mak- ing holders inclined to take profits, al- though country offerings to arrive were. light and were reported as firm ly held. Oats followed corn, July oats touching a new top price for the sea- son..
 Wheat closed at the days lowest level. Much of the wheat selling was ascribed to the circumstance that nu- merous traders were looking for some reaction from the recent continued ad- vance here. Provisions were governed a good deal by the action of corn. '

NEW YORK COTTON NEW YORK Eeb 7
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

E w
 NEW ORLEANSs Feb. 7.- Pro- nounced easiness developed in cotton today after slightly higher market in the early session. Better cables than due brought advances of to 10 points, after which gradual sag took pos session of fluctuations. The late trad ing brought real weakness and de- clines to levels 31 to 77 points under the close of yesterday, lowest prices being reached in the closing range. The last sale of March was at 33 BOG and of October at 27.50c.
 The main reason for the decline ap- peared to be disappointment on the long side over the failure of any gen. uine improvement to take place in do- mestic cloth markets. Accounts re- ceived here continued to tell of slight improvement in the demand, but only a small increase in the total turnover. Selling was increased by claims that were met here and there in the spot de- partment that the country was offering spots in more liberal way. The Eng fish dock labor troubles were a factor In the early decline and were still be- ing talked of around mid-session. The weakness of the, afternoon was due to the throwing overheard of long con tracts in large way.
 The weather map was considered highly unfavorable because of the tenn peratures of around freezing over large areas of the belt, but did no more than steady the market in It's early de- cline. .., -

COFFEE FUTURES

NEW YORK, Feb. 7-There was a further sharp advance in the market for coffee futures today on continued covering by trade and speculative shorts combined with fresh buying on reports of increasing firmness in Brazil and a strong spot situation. The mar ket opened at an advance os to A points and active months sold sixty to s4 points net higher during the middle of the day, with March advance ing to 12.5sc. September to 12.19c and December to 12.15c. There was realizing enough at these figures to cause moderate reactions. but closing prices were 52 to 56 points net higher. Sales were estimated at about S7,O00 bags March, 12.50c; May, 12.S0c; July, 12.0sc; September, 12.00c; October, l195c; December, 11.S6c.
 Spot coffee was reported firm at 13@13Ac for Rio 7s and 174 G1sc for Santos As. Cost and freight offers from Santos included part Bourbon 3's and 5s at 16.75Q17 .35c for prompt shipment and at 17c for February March ship ment. No fresh offers were received from Rio.
 The official cables showed an ad- vance of Is pence in Rio exchange in London with decline of 230 reis in the dollar buying rate, and the recent firmer ruling of Rio exchange was en- phasized by reports from London that the Rio government was planning to retire coffee loan bonds as a prelimi- nary step in encouragement of Brazilian finances. The Rio market was 1251 l. T lower. Brazilian port receipts, 45,0O0; Jundiaby receipts, 22.O00. Santos re- ports clearances of 1Os,50O for the United States. m
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-08

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Today's mar ket started off with quite a show of strength in some of the industrials. Baldwin and Gulf States Steel reached new highs, and for a while almost tho entire list maintained a strong appear ance. The professional element and many outside traders have been trying for a reaction for some time, and to- ward afternoon succeeded in bringing about a recession in many departments. For instance, the oils were rather heav- lily sold after an announcement appear ed that President Coolidge had sent to the department of Justice and the fed eral trade commission a demand made by Governor McMasters of South Da- kota, in which the chief executive is asked to take some action to stop the rising price of gasoline.
 After the oils had started downward there was little resistance displayed by the balance of the list, and in most cases stocks closed below last nights final prices.
 American Ice was another one that was strong and held most of its gain. United States Steel was subjected to some profit taking, but was well bought on the decline. Money advanced to 5h, which may have had a sentimental ef- feet, but the general impression pre- vatling was that a reaction was en- tirely in line with the program for higher prices later on. At 9:45 o'clock tonight Jason Westerfield will describe the stock exchange and it's machinery over the radio. Total sales, 1,171, 900 shares.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn Bros & Virgin.
 NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-The market gave another demonstration of strength In the first hour or two this morning and then after hesitating it came nearer to reacting than it has for over three months but stocks were we'll taken on the decline and there seemed to be big demand everywhere and plenty of buying orders. The reason given for the setback was uneasiness over the oil situation which up to now has been so sensational and upsetting, giving tho basis, as 1t has for the general belief that everybody in Wall street is crooked and engaged in bribery and corruption.
 We believe that the present investi- gation will not be as popular with the l politicians as it has been, as no one knows where 1t is going to, hit next as both parties are being besmirched and there is no political capital to be gain ed from it either way. This is all that our so-called statesmen in Washington seem to care about these days. It has been very moderate reaction at Test and hardly worth while being so styled.
