TIIE MORNING OREGONIAW, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1914. 19 T SALE FORGED Consignments to California Weaken Southern Market.- DEMAND OTHERWISE SLACK Holders s-hadc in Northwest Prices, and Kefiise to Values Throughout Country Are Hold at Steady Level. Business has become so slack in the wheat market that, but lor the refusal of farmers and other holders In tha country to "oil at going prices, the undertone of the market would be weak. By declining to put any supplies on the market, except at extreme figures, the growers are holding the lev! of value steady in this part of the country. Japanese buyers are nttrely out the market so far us Portland Is eonornd. Millers are picking up let ner and thpve, but they are far from ttlv on the fauylna side. This leaves California at the only outlet now for Northwestern what, and the demand from that quarter Is checked by tome selling pressure. A quantity f unsold wheat has been consigned to California, and pressed for sale, and this hft demoralised the markets in the South. Until this con signed grain is absorbed, no Improvement tn shipping way can be expected. Reviewing the wheat situation from an International standpoint, Broomhall says: "The demand for foreign wheat from "Western Europe is smaller than heretofore, as native wheat is being more freely of fered, and then. "the continued excellent prospec of -lnter wheat in the United States is exerting some Influence on Euro pean buyers. On the other hand, the politi cal situation appears less assured than last week. Latest returns show that the consump- ; tlon of foreign wheat during January and February was much smaller than during the Autumn, and this, .possibly owing to the relative mildness of the season, increased supply of native wheat. Ithink the Gov-' ernment report proves that the consump tlon In America this season has been liberal, i A good authority reports that Canadian ; farm reserves are larger than many Cana-, dian offers may press on European markets before long. Russian reserves are generally considered to be large, while some reports state that there are rather small. France Is holding liberal supplies, while Germany Is still exporting freely with good stocks. The ; movement from Germany hitherto has been of such large proportions that the remainder may be relatively moderate. The steadiness which characterizes the world's holders of wheat is a prominent feature, and is exert ing pronounced in fluence, and is serving to check what otherwise would be a decided de cline." Foreign crop conditions are summarized as follows: t'nited Kingdom The weather is favor able, but recent rain hindered sowing. Sup plies of native wheat are fair. France The general crop outlook is con sidered favorable, but considerable reserv ing is necessary as a result of Winter kill ing in the North. Supplies are light. Weather seasonable. Germany There are no complaints. Sup plies are liberal, notwithstanding large ex ports. Weather seasonable. Russia Crop advices are of damage In parts and arrivals for shipment continue light. The weather is mild. Roumania The crop outlook Is favorable and the weather Springlike. The move ment to ports is light. Hungary There are few, if any, com plaints heard regarding the new crop. Re serves are very light and free buying of Roumanian and German wheat continues unabated. Beneficial rains have fallen.

Inspectors' Method Complained Of. The steamer yesterday brought two cars of oranges and a small assortment of Southern vegetables. Rail receipts included a car each of Southern California cabbage, lettuce and sweet potatoes. The latter were in bad order. AsDaragus was cheaper at 9 cents for white and 11 cents for pyramid. New Cali fornia potatoes were lower at 8 cents. No more Florida new potatoes will be brought to this market, Front-street dealers are complaining of the manner in which some of the tatc inspectors are handling shipments of pro duce brought to this city. Au Instance oc-r-arred yesterday when one of the inspectors went through a consignment of California new potatoes at the depot on a search for tuber moths. These potatoes came from Santa Clara County, a section not infected by the molh. There is no objection to in spection, however, but whaO the receivers complain of Is tho careless slitting of sacks and opening of containers which leaves the produce in unmarketable condition. Ship pers at the other end have a right to be lieve that their produce will be delivered on the market in a satisfactory and saleable shape. ;;gs firmer, with bettkr demand City Creamery Butler Cleans Up Closely at Advance. The week opened with a firmer reeling in the egg market. There were no shipping orders, so far as learned, but storage opera tors took good supplies off the" market and there was an active demand for all the eggs received. Sales were made at lSJ and 10 cents. Poultry arrivals were limited and the de mand was not Important. Hens were quoted at IT cents. Dressed meats were steady. City creamery butter was held firm at 29 cents by all but one creamery. The daily VVHEA March Ifi, 1914. March 17, IMS. Mar.'h IS. 1812. March --'0, 1011. March 111, 11110. March SI, 1 :. .

Stocks in hands of the trade aro fairly assorted as to quality and prices hold up strong on high-class parcels, though the medium or intermediate command fair attention on account of favorable values.

ALL STOCK HIGHER Sharp Advance in Prices North Portland. at SUPPLY IS DECREASING Prime St?ers Sell at $8.25 and $8.10 Swine 20 Cents Above Last Week's Quotations Mut- ton Not So High Since June. The Rteady decrease in the movement of livestock of all kinds to market is having a stimulating effect on prices. The total run over Sunday was under 5000 head, and the market at once responded to the new condition with material advances in cattle, swine, sheep and lamb prices. While all lines were strong the greatest strength was perhaps shown In the cattle division. A load of top grade steers was sold at $8.23 and two other loads at $S10. The bulk of sales were from $7.75 to $7.00. Not since last September have prime steers gone as high as they iid yesterday. Choice cows sold between $0.50 and $7. Bulls brought from 1.1.23 to $tt. and light calves sold at $S and $9. The hog market was not slow in partici pating in the advance. Offerings on the market were not heavy, and good light weights brought $8.S3. a gain of 20 cents as compared with prices prevailing at the close of last week. Heavy swine were equally firm. Sheep and lambs sold at higher prices at North Portland yesterday than have been Recorded since June of last year. A load of choice ewes brought $i.10. an advance of a dime over last week's price, and others were taken at $4.2o and $4.50. The strength of the market in this division was shown by the sale of three loads of shorn lambs at 50.40. Receipts were C02 cattle, 22 calves, 950 hogs and 3235 sheep. i Shippers were: James Mace.

It was the attitude of foreign holders of stocks which' was primarily re sponsible for the movement. London w'as depressed by uncertainty over the riome rule question. It was estimated that y 30,000 shares were disposed of here on cabled orders. At home sentiment was uncertain. Out side interest was still at low ebb. The close showed a majority of fractional losses. Reports from the steel trade were less favorable.

SOME WINTER KILLING Prospects of Week or 3fore of Rain in Southwest Also Worry Shorts Tone at Close Is Xervous. CHICAGO. March 16. Enough com plaints of dry weather and of Winter-killing came in today to give wheat an upturn. Closing prices were nervous, varying from a shade off to 14c net advance. Corn, oats and provisions wound up substantially the same us on Saturday night. Crop news made the market in wheat. Projmect of a week more of rain In the Southwest brought out uneasiness on the part of the shorts. Corn lost an early advance, which had been caused by active purchasing on the part of leading houses, and as a result of a good feeding demand in the West and Southwest. The slowness of inquiry from .the East, however, and the fact that the visible supply was virtually now as large as a year ago led to a reaction. Changes in the oats market hinged almost entirely on corn. Seeding was reported as having besun in Central Illinois. Improved demand for provisions mani fested itself whenever the market showed a bearish effect from the more plentiful supply of hogs. Buyers, however, were not inclined to follow up any advance.

It is reported that another Alaska line may be started that will comprise a fleet to run from New Orleans, Oal veston and other Southern cities through the Panama Canal and up the Coast, continuing at Alaska and reach ing such points as Juneau, Cordova, Valdez and Seward.
