llts for the present period.
The week under review has not been marked
7 special feature .In any department of com
erce. The wheat market remains In a seml
agnant condition. Flour Is in fair request
i the Orient, and In good demand at home
lllfeed Is generally higher. Hops .have
ached such an elevation, that speculation is
wising. In prunes the sentimental effect of
x Increased Inquiry in the East stiffens the
ews of local nolders. Certain lines of coun
y produce have fluctuated within a! narrow
nge. Turpentine and linseed oil have ad
mced sharply, and package coffee is again
lmblng upward.
WHEAT Excitement in the wheat market
confined to the Chicago pit. Efforts to
oric a corner there have boosted up the price

ltly Is not yet. This purely speculative
oyment has had no effect on the Pacific

FLOUR. FEED. ETC The local flour mar-
t remains strong and active. From an ex
Kt standpoint, there is nothing new to re-
rt. Both Japan and China are buying, but
t heavily, apparently for the purpose of fill-
up depleted stocks of certain brands. The
pr talk appears to have had no market ef.
ct on prices, as Japan filled up on flour long

WOOLThere is less activity In the Eastern

a Reporter ef the 14th said of Oregon wool
the East;
lOre son wool 'Is In small demand, but is In
kht stock, and prices are firmly held. r,vi
rle Oregon costs 50ffC2c. clean. About 5 -K
pounds have been sold at lGtti7c in t'
rease, to cost about a half-dollar clean.

PRODUCE The principle Interest In countrr
oduce In the week has centered in. the err
hrket. A weak condition was followed by
length on the withdrawal of a large quan-
y oi eggs irons local warehouses for salp-
nts to Seattle and other points north. The
crease In the supply of Eastern errs also
jlped things. And the result was an advance

Ung on a further advance, as the probaci
es are mat the market will go the other

with 12 cents "the top price. Supplies appear
more than ample for present, requirements.
Ducks, geese and' turkeys are quiet :and un
changed. .
The butter market drags along. In an nnln-
teresting way. Giltedge creamery la firm, none
too plentiful, and n strong demand tat the
hlzhest Quotation. Second grades are a glut
on the market, .and store butter Is only jasored ,
with great difficulty.
Potatoes are in good demand for the local
and snipping trade. If they are strictly first

standard, and are not readily taken, except
at concessions. Onions are firmer, with a. bet
ter all-around demand.
Green vegetables are in the usual supply.
except cabbage, of which there is a. shortage,
and which commands a tetter price. Other
kinds come from below, and are subject to
the fluctuations of "the California markets.
Celery of a proper slxe seems hard to -get, ;
but the quality will probably improve from, i
now on, as the drouth In the producing region
In California has been broken. Especial firm
ness is also shown in sweet potatoes.
There is nothing particularly new in the
fruit market. Oranges, lemons and bananas
are in adequate supply, and apples are moving
off fairly well.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. A half-cent
advance in package coffee was the only change
made In the staple grocery list in the- -past
week. Sugar is steady, and rice shows signs
of easiness.
A 2-cent advance in turpentine and a 4-cent
advance -In Unseed oil caused alterations in
the list prices of these articles.
.Livestock receipts have been moderately
good, and -values have been maintained! In
dressed meats a scarcity of veal is reported.
Fork has been selling higher, but was in a
little better supply yesterday. Mutton Is also
quoted up a shade. Declines are noted in hog
products of 14 -cent in local hams, and H-cent
in bacon and dry salt meats.

In the Pacifies.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2a There was a fair
degree of activity maintained "In today's -stock'
market, and some show of strength, but the
strength was fitful and spotty, and the market
was viewed with some degree of suspicion by
a large element of the traders on the floor.
The upward tendency of prices met wltn
some positive obstacles, and the character of
some devices used to stimulate an upward
movement aroused skepticism and" an unfavor

the chances of peace from there, officially ex
pressed In the decline of. war risks for marine
insurance, there was free London selling in
New York, which proved- troublesome to ab

considerable influence in the stock' exchange.
Union Pacific, which would be most directly
affected of any of th.e stocks now prominently
traded in. was held back by the persistent

number of other stocks recently active, but
the influence seemed to pass over to its sub

other explanation of the active speculation In
that stock which carried it 1H over last night.
A previous buying movement had carried Mis
souri Pacific a point over last night- The only
other stock of first Importance which gained
a- point was St. Paul. In contrast with this
was the persistent selling pressure on Rock
Island and Amalgamated Copper, which car

there would be no buying to secure control

ENORMOUS LINE CARRIED
BY
ARMOUR INTERESTS.
Demand Exceeds the. Supply and the
Chicago Market Goes Up An-
other Two Cents.
CHICAGO. Jan. 20. The- wheat market was
feverishly strong from start to finish today.
The advance was due largely ty the same
cause as the rise yesterday, the congested: con
dition of the market, an enormous line of
wheat for May delivery being held by Armour
interests. Notwithstanding that aside from the
Armour deal the. situation, -seemed bearish,
opining prices were firm." May ranging from
83c to 0Qc An advance in the price of
British consols indicated a more optimistic
feeling in regard to the war situation. Rain
in the Southwest, where the Winter Tjheat
crop had -been suffering from "drouth, was an
other bear Indication. No attention, however.
waa paid to matters like consols or rain. It
was a question of too small a supply ".for a
liberal demand. The leader of the bulls
showed no sign of parting with his holdings, -
and, In consequence, smaller holders were en-,
cpuraged to maintain a firm grip on what
wheat they had. Offerings were, pn that ac
count, extremely light, and w.ere eagerly
sought for by belated shorts. The demand for
May 'delivery was large. In their efforts ta
cover, shorts advanced prices rapidly. Stop.
loss orders, coming out oh the rise, accelerated
the upward tendency. The market continued
to gain strength as the session advanced, and
within tho last five minutes of trading May
had reached 0202c. a gain of 2c. The
close was at 82c "
Corn was strong throughout, the entire ses
sion. A new high-record mark for May deliv
ery was also made In this .pit. May opened a
shade lower to a shade higher, and closed at
50c.
The strength in wheat and corn- sustained
oats, and prices made further gains. May
opened a shade lower to a shade higher, and
closed at 4242c
Provisions were firm In tfle face of lower
prices at the yards. The strong grain mar.
kets were the principal source of strength.
The close was firm, with May pork up, with
lard and ribs each 2c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

WHY HAY MARKET SLUMPED.
Price Dropped In Ellensburg When Seattle
Did Not Get Contract.
ELLENSBURG. Jan. 20. (Special.) The
theme uppermost In the minds of the Kittitas
farmers during the past 30 days or so has been
hay, and many were the opinions expressed as
to the result of the awarding of the bids for
the Government's needs at Seattle. Before the
time was set for opening these bids a few sales
of hay were made at Ellensburg for $20 a ton.
but very few let go at that price. Many offers
of $18 were made, but they were almost In
variably refused. The farmers were absolute
ly certain that the Government would have to
pay- $20. and they felt secure In their sizing
up. of the' situation. When Seattle failed to
land the prize. It was pretty generally con
ceded that there would be a slump, and this
week the price has been quoted at $15615.50
for prime Kittitas timothy, and. as a result,
there Is great disappointment. However, the
hay is moving, and it Is predicted that most.
If not all. remaining In the valley some 15,000
tons will probably go at that price, or even
less.
The Winter has been a remarkably open one.
so that the sheepmen have not had to feed at
all, and cattlemen only fed for the purpose
of pushing their animals to market. This
open condition also -has a depressing effect on
the price and causes most of the holders to
look with a good deal of favor on the $13
proposition.
Broaden Scope of Trading.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Plans formuMted-recently
to broaden the scope of tradingln the
New. York grain market have been unanimous
ly adopted at a meeting- of the grain trade at
the Produce Exchange. The report of the
committee on grain recommending the estab
lishment of new grades was approved after an
addition authorizing the grading of Western
rye. The principal feature of this plan is the
extension of the New York delivery system to
Buffalo, so that grain can be delivered at that
point on New York contract. The recom
mendations are to take effect February L
Nerw York Cotton Market.
NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Cotton prices sur
passed all previous records since war times
again today, when March sold at 14.48c May
at 14.54 and July at 14.61c The further ad--vances
were attended "by considerable "activity
and excitement, but the market soon "became
quieter, and it seemed that the trading was
more largely for professional than for public
account. The opening was firm at an advance
of from 13 to 23 points, following cable, about
10 points better than expected, reports of "con
tinued good spot demand and estimates point
ing toward continued light receipts.
The initial advances, however, added to the
gains of the last two days meant a net ad
vance of nearly of a cent a pound.
