THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH .3, 1914. 17 IfilENT HOLDS OFF Flour Business in Sight Less Than Usual. MARCH GENERALLY ACTIVE I,arW of K.Krt lemand Docs Xot Stay Advance In Wheat Prices in Northwest, Owing to Small Supply Remaining. The wheat market was firm at ail points In the Northwest yesterday, but the quantity of grain that changed hands was moderate The business passing was, of course, main ly between dealers, and speculators who had wheat to sell insisted on full prices, Miller ore i.nvfmr soarlnelv. a most f them have their future wants provided for. The most Important part ot the de mand now comes from California, Prices Quoted vesterdav were the same as on ' Saturday. The trade oassine in export flour is of limited proportions. March in usually Food month in this line, but it begins to look a if the present March will be as tuiet as February. It is possible that Rood trade will develop in April, but that remains to be seen. The markets on the other side are well stocked, according to reports lately received, and the liberal supplies of Australian wheat purchased by Japan would Indicate that there will be no jrreat demand for breadstuffs here in the immediate future. When the Orientals again bepin to buy flour, it Is probable they will have to pay higher prices for it, as there is nothing to indicate that wheat prices will be lower In the Northwest. The supply remaining Is so small that if there is any change prices will be higher. The world's wheat market is also in a good position, accord ing to Broomhall, who says, in hU inter national weekly review: "The principal underlying strength is a realization by consumers that the available supply of wheat for the near future is none too large, and the conviction that the Argentine surplus this season will be very small and of poor quality, and also the Indian crop is much less than last year. The buying has been for actual consump tion during the past fortnight and this is fiing supplemented by considerable cover ering by the Continent, purchases beig made to cover short sales made just prior to the Argentine harvest. In revising my estimate of the world's crop, made neces sary by the light present promise In both Argentina and India, and reckoning the yield In Russia, approximately 100,000.000 bushels more than last year, I arrive at a grand total of 3. 000.000 bushels, against :t, 632.000,090 bushels last year. Earlier this season T estimated the yield of the world 160,000,000 bushels over last year. This changed outlook may account partly for the present revival of activity, and should the crop In Argentina recently harvested, and the Indian crop being har vested, turn out to be as small as now reported. It would seem ample justification for a more confident feeling in values." y, Foreign crop conditions are summarized As fallows: Un.sd Kingdom Some complaints are heard of excessive rain. The general out look for wheat Is good. Native offers are smaller. France The general outlook is less fa vorable and many fields are being re plowed as a result of damage from freez ing and vermin. Native supplies are smaller and expect a further decrease during March. The weather is seasonable. Germany There are r.o complaints re garding the crop outlook. Field work is progressing w ith the weather mild. Na tive supplies iire smaller and a renewed Interest is being shown in foreign wheat. Russia The weather is mild and snow is disappearing. Supplies are generally lib. eral. particularly at Baltic ports. Roumania The crop outlook is favorable. Arrivals for shipment are small, as farm ers are holding, but the belief is that of fers will shortly increase. Bulgaria An official report states that the acreage has been reduced 10 per cent. Hungary The weather is mild and snow Is disappearing, with many reports of dam age. Supplies are small and dear. Australia A short outturn for the late crop is confirmed. India Harvesting is becoming general, but little wheat is being offered, with ices very high. i..im:,.i i i vi. i in i.ai s ni'ic ir. k'uiii-u j the Merchants Kxchangc as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir.

Communication Interrupted by Storms and Market Is Inactive. The interruption to cable communication yesterday was held to be responsible for the absence of business in the hop market. Dealers look for nroMe- inquiry from the East during the current month. Commenting on the prospects of the Ger man market, M. Guetermann Sons, of Saaz, Boheml3, write : ''The sentiment is quiet, yet very firm, since the owners of hops of superior qual ity are of the justifiable opinion that the unusually small quantities still available will bring higher prices as soon as the brewing business recovers during the com ing Spring or Summer. "Even in the most unfavorable event there is no reason to expect any downward movement of the prices as the time until the market Is stocked again with new hops If still seven months off." English hop factors' circulars, dated February 0 to 11, say: Wild, Neame fc Co. There has been 're newed pressure from holders to realize and values have suffered a further relapse on the week. Thornton & Manger A considerable amount of business has been done during the week at the reduced prices accepted by growers. A good demand continues. Foreign advices are unchanged. Manser tfc Henley There is no improve ment to report In our market during the past week, the small business doing being of a hand-to-mouth nature. Prices favor buyers where sales are pressed. W. H. & H. Le May There has been a further clearance of hops during the past week.. The lower prices that have been accepted by some holders have brought 3 bout considerable more business, and the shortness of stocks is becoming more marked.' "Worcester There has been less doing on Worcester market during- the. past week, but a fair general inquiry prevails for all classes of hops. Growers are more In clined to seli where they get a good bid. CHINA'S EXPORT EGG TRADE GROWS. Large Shipments From Shanghai to Pacific Coast Ports. Reporting on shipments of eggs from China, Vice-Consul General Clarence E. Gauss, of Shanghai, writes; "The high price of eggs, the apparent scarcity of supplies, and the provision1 in the new American tariff act, placing eggs on the free list, have resulted In large shipments cf eggs from Slts-nghai to the United States during the month of Decem ber, IMS, ani the first half of January. 1914. "In 1013 eggs to the value of $31,451 were shipped from Shanghai to the United States; of this tot&l, shipments reaching $20,000 were made during the month of Decem ber, when JS00 cases (of 30 dozen each) i were forwarded. In the first half of the month, of January, 1914. 1044 cases, valued ; at $12,ttv), have gone forward, principally by the northern steamship routes to Van couver and Seattle, for American Pacific Coast ports. "The egg prices fluctuate, of course, with the demand, and the recent heavy ship ments to the Coiled States have somewhat Increased prices, which, for the larger sizes of eggs shipped, range from 12 to IS Shanghai taeis per 10O0 in Shanghai ($7. 711 to $'..74 United States currency at the Government exchange rate for this quarter). To these prices, of course, must be added the cost of packing, shipping, freight, etc." SEATTLE AND TACOMA BUYING EGGS Northern Orders at 21 Cents Keep locttI Market Firm. The week opened with an active demand for eggs from Seattle and Tacoma. Buy ers in the north bid 21 cents and this es tablished the local price, although specu lators would be glad to see the market started on a lower level, so that storing could begin under the 20-cent mark. North ern orders, however, are expected to keep the market firm at 21 cents or better dur ing this week. Puget Sound operators can no longer deepnd on San Francisco for sup plies, as the storage season is on in Call fornia, and the "Willamette Valley, during the remainder of the season, must supply the greater part of the Northwest with eggs. Poultry receipts were small and the- mar. ket was firm at Saturday's prices. Not much came in in the way of dressed meats, but enough to supply the demand. No changes were announced in the butter or cheese markets. VEGETABLES ARRIVING FROM SOUTH Supply I 8(111 Inadequate and Trices Are Firm. The market is again receiving vegetables from the South, but the supply is Insuffi cient and prices are firm all around. Among yesterday's receipts were two cars of cab bage, one car of celery, half a car of let tuce and a car and' a halt of cauliflower. Celery was firm at ?4.S0. Lettuce sold at $2.25, but will be higher on the next ar rivals. Asparagus was quoted a cent lower at 30 cents. The orange market Is in a very firm po sition, with prices advancing In California and only a limited Buppiy in transit to this city. Ripe bananas cleaned up closely. The next shipment is due "Wednesday. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities j esterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

There was a record car lot movement of stock at the yards yesterday, 15$ cars be ing received. A large part of the cattle run was not weighed, but went on to the Sound. There was enough stock left for the local market, however, to make the day's . business one of the largest in the historv of the yards. As a consequence of the- full nnnlv cattle and hoes were weaker. Sheep were firm and some sales were made it t nrl vancpn. The best steers on the market, two loads of them, sold at $7.65. and the top of the market was held to be not over $7.75. The bulk of steer sales were at $7.35 and $7.40. The few cows moved went at $6.65 for the most part. The swine market" opened unchanged at $S.70 for tops, but was weak at tho price, only five loads, and those of strictly fine quality, bringing that figure. The bulk of the morning sales were at $8.60 and In the afternoon trading practically all the busi ness was done at $8.55. The sheep market was the strong feature of the day, although there were not many sales in this division. About 40 head of choice ewes sold at $5 and old ewes brought $3.80. Good wethers were taken at $5.70 and a load of yearlings at $6.10. A bunch of shorn wethers was sold at 5.25. Two loads of fine lambs went at $6.80. Receipts were 270rt cattle, 23 calves, 4588 hogs and 21 74 sheep. Shippers were: J. E. Reynolds. La Grande, 3 cars cattle: M. R. Biggs.

LAST PRICES ARE STEADY Fall-Sowu Grain Keported to Have Been Injured by Changes of Weather in Middle West. Corn and Oata Firm. CHICAGO, March 2. Incipient crop dam age had a rallying effect today on wheat, and especially the July delivery. As a re sult the market closed steady at prtcea ranging from 4c oft to 4ifco up, com pared with Saturday night. Corn made a gain of c to 54 c and oats l-36th to lie In provisions the finish varied from a shade decline to a rise of 7 He Something of a stampede occurred among wheat speculators who earlier in the day had been rather free in selling short on ac count of an absence at first of any reports that Autumn-sown fields had been in jured by the trying changes of the weather. Corn showed undeniable strength. Trade in oats was light, but values hard ened in sympathy with corn. in the provision crowd, packers were good buyers, but on the ensuing bulge thore was considerable selling pressure of a specu lative sort. In the end the market ruled easy. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.

Eatern Ore-eon PubllMher One of "TypeHttckers" on The Oregoalan In Early Days. ' John P. Mc.Manus, who used to "stick type" on The Oregonian in the days when it occupied a building on Stark street, over the river, and was one of the first employes in the present build ing, was in Portland yesterday. In the interim Mr. McManus owned the Pendleton Daily Tribune, later a livestock journal, and is now editor and publisher ot the P.ilot Rock Kec ord. The' Pilot Rock Record is printed on an old Washington hand press, revered wherever oldtime printers foregather yet, despite this handicap, the .Record is a dainty piece of typographical work. "I went to Pilot Rock with nothing but the old press," eaid Mr. McManus. "That was 11 years ago. The Record is still printed on the old press, but we house the Record in its own build ing now, and I expect it is one of the best-paying small properties in Oregon in the newspaper business. . 1 am not exaggerating when I say the Record circulates all over Eastern Oregon, and no one has ever hunted subscriptions. "It offers an example to any young man starting out in the newspaper business. It was done eimply by printing the news. "Pilot Rock is a town of less than d00 people, although, of course, the tributary territory is enormous." Mr. McManus is planning a rest for a lew weeks and thinks he will go to the Hawaiian Islands in company with his wife. WOMEN TO BEAUTIFY CITY Improvement Club at Monmouth Kleets Officers for Year.

Question of I'nfalrnean Not Mentioned by Bearers. Who Profit From Difference of Opinion. A labor war has broken out on lower Washington street. On the street before the door of a meat market all day long two men pace up and down, sometimes side by side, sometimes stopping to borrow "the makin's" one from the other, or pausing for a friendly chat. They are the opposing forces in the "war." Each carries on his 6houliler a large" canvas banner. "This market is unfair to organized labor" proclaims one banner in large black letters. ' "Please do not buy meal in a market where a movement-started to cause later hours for butcher work men, who now work 10 hours a day." For the sake of distinction the de fensive banner is painted in red and black. "Are we unfair?" it asks. "We work one-half hour less than union time and pay higher wages. Our competitors, through the union, would force us to lower our prices, but we will not." The defensive banner is the heavier of the two. and the man now carrying it is the third to tackle the job. The question at issue is never men tioned by the men who carry the ban ners. If it were not for the question they would have no Jobs. So they are good friends.
