Two-Cent Cut In
Egg Price Hits
New Low Level
PORTLAND, Jan. 22 m Today's
out ol 2o tn the price of eggs locally
brings the selling value In Portland to
the lowest figures known during
January. The local drop which was
forced by extremely liberal lay and a
scant outlet, forced extras down to
10c dozen with mediums 14c. The
latter continues very weak Inasmuch
as tho differential between largo and
smaU eggs Is too limited.
The fact that the New York mar
ket Is now quoting the lowest price
over known there for Pacific coast
extras, Indicates the plight of the
trade of the west coast. Inasmuch as
- 1n-rr naff, nt tllft nUITOlUS IS alWSyS
marketed In New York Irrespective
of the price, the returns available for
such shipment are somewhat below
tho basis being quoted hero, low as
It is. i
Tho low price has presented a
problem to producers and distributors
alike. Culling of flocks and the
forcing of many but of tho Industry
havo resulted from rocont extreme
low record values.
Butter market situation in Portland
Is very,, firm but distributors are
afraid to advance prices through fear
of flooding the market with ship
ments from distant points. Butter
fat is holding steady.
Live chicken prices continue very
weak along the wholesale way with
further fractional changes in tho bids
by killers. -Por light weight hens
cash offers axe down to 8c, tho low
est in history hero.
Better - demand Is showing all
through the market for dressed tur
keys here. Local consumptive call
Is excellent at the low price range
and thero is a good demand for stor
age from eastern Interests.
There Is a very keen demand for
fancy quality' country killed calves.
Prices are being well maintained gen
erally. Fancy quality lambs are finding
considerable favor with retailers at
this period. Quality hogs are also
moving' out well. 'Demand for bulls
is excellent.
There Is very little trading in tho
apple market either, for domestic or
fnt-nlD1!! lunniint. Exnorta aro much
smaller than at this period a year ago
while only extreme low prices are
confirmed. Talk of better business
Is not borno out by surveys of dis
tributors. Pacific oystor prices continue un
usually low with further shading horo
and there. With retailers selling at
25c pint, tho lowest prlco in lustory
la shown.
KMjmi nf wlinliuuiln trndlnor:
Walla Walla spinach Is better qual
ity and Is selling mostly $1.1S$1.25

Hothouso cucumbers are now ap
pearing from California. Bales con
tinue mostly $2.25$2.50 dozen.
Head lettuce prices aro again be
ing generally shaded. Receipts In

Wall Street Today
NEW YORK, Jon. 22 (Pi The stock
market experienced Its sharpest set
back slnco tho January rally got un
der way today. Trading was moderate
until tho last hour, with a turnover
of only about 1,600,000 shares for the
day, but losses of 2 to 4 points were

Stocks Losing 3 to 4 points Included
such Issues as V. S. Steel, American
Can, DuPont, Allied Chemical. Case,
American Telephone, Eastman, Santa
Fo and Norfolk and Western.
BOSTON, Jan. 22 lT) Tho Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
"Tnere has been a fairly good
movement In wool again this week,
although hardly so extensive as a
week ago. The call Is chiefly for fine
and half blood combing and woolen,
wools, the lower of these grades being
very firm. 1 .
"The foreign markets keep along at
a 'fairly steady pace and prices have
varied but little during the wceic.
There is a fairly good clearance re
ported at London at steady rates.
In the west there has been com
paratively little happening. A little
business on winter loans is reported
and it Is figured that possibly 26,
000,000 pounds of wool has been tied
up on three loans thus far to date.
The manufacturing , position is
promising fairly good business dur
ing the next few weeks at least.
Pine wooled goods, whether wor
sted or woolen appear to have tho
chief call. While prices on wool are
steady, they are a bit dearer again
this week.
'Mohair continues rather slow of
sale and quotably without material
change."
The Bulletin also will publish the
following quotations:
Scoured basis: Oregon Fine and f.
m. staple 54-66. Fine and f. m. Fr.
combing 60-63; fine and f. m. cloth
ing 46-47. Volley No. 1, 48-50.
