TTE MORXING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1908. 17 EAST BUYS BUTTER Oregon Product Going to the Chicago Market. PRICES HIGHER THERE Order for Storage Cubes Now Being rilled by l-ocal Shippers. Inquiry From Seattle for Squares. For the first time In the "history of the local market, Oregon butter Is being bought by the Eastern trade. It has been' a com mon thing for years to bring Eastern butter here at certain seasons of the year, and it is only proper that the movement should now be reversed. An order from Chicago for storage cubes Is being filled on the basis of -O'i cents f. o. b. About 24,O0 pounds of cubes are held in storage here, and all that can be secured will be sent East on the order. Aa yet there has been no inquiry from that quarter for squares. The Eastern buying is attributed to the depleted condition of stor age stocks there and Kje scarcity of fresh butter, owing to the very cold weather now prevailing. There was some Seattle Inquiry yesterday for local storage butter, and this in con nection with the Eastern demand has stif fened the ideas of local holders materially. It Is not likely that prices will soon be ad vanced as a consequence, but it seems cer tain that the decline, which was anticipated a short time ago, will be averted. The general opinion is that the market will continue at a steady level for some time. The city creamery output is generally less and cold weather will cause It to fall away more. Front street Is still well stocked with outside butter, but the accumulation Is not as great as early -in the week, owing to the low prices named on several of the brands. City creamery butter is quoted firm at 87 cents. The Damascus creamery, which has been at 40 cents, reports an increase in its production and has accordingly lowered Its quotation to that ot the other city creameries. CALIFORNIA ONIONS MATURE SOON. First Shipment From Thermal Will Be Made fcarly in March. Onion holders were not pleased yesterday with the announcement of the early matur ing of the Southern California and Texas crops. The Coachella crop, estimated at ifto cars. Is offered by the Southern Cali fornia Vegetable Union for prompt delivery, the nrst car lots to be shipped early in March. Texas Bermudas are promised for bhipmcnt the latter part of March. Local prices were unchanged and the market was dull. There was an easier feeling in the potato trade, owing to the weakness of the San Francisco market, and buyers were not dis posed to operate freely except at some con cessions. KfiliS OFFERED AT VARIOUS TRICES. KPt of Weather on the Loral Market. Poultry Is Quiet. A mixed tone prevailed in the esg market. Some dealers, because ot the cold weather, were Inclined to hold their stocks for better than recent urices. while others, in view ot the heavy receipts, shaded the quota tion to prevent the accumulation of a sur plus. Most of the day's sales were made at 115 cents. There was not much Bnap to the poultry market. Arrivals were light, but generally were sufficient. The strongest Inquiry came from Chinese, who wanted fat hens. This class of buying ccaae Saturday, when the Chinese holiday beijins. Wheat Iull and tower. The wheat market was very weak and dull yesterday and prices were quoted a cent lower all around. With the recent sharp declines In foreign markets, prices here would be still lower, but for the fall In freight rates, which have taken no the '.ark. as it were. Sailing ships were offered at -7s lid. Hliu It Is believed steamers will be available shortly around -6s. Car of Janunetie Oranges Arrive. Among the fruit arrivals yesterday was Jti car of Japanese oranges, which being better than previous receipts, were quoted firmer at ."0(o '56c per box. A wire from Los Angeles said the bananas bound for l'ortlatui pulsed there green. They are due here Tuesday. Celery Is cleaning u well. ml as only ono car Is rolling, the market has a Arm tone. w tirade of Sugar. A new grade of cane sugar will be put on the market In a few days. It will be quoted 10 cents less than fruit sugar and 10 cents htk'her than beet sugar. Hunk Clearings. ClearlliKS of the Northwestern cities yes terday were us follows: Clearings.

MARKET IS VERY DULL Bank Troubles in New York Have but Little Effect on Sentiment. Coalers Affected by Poor ' Anthracite ' Trade. NEW YORK, Jan. 30. The profound: dull ness of the stock market was Its salient fea ture today. Outside participation was a neg ligible quantity. k The professionals seemed as much indisposed to operate on -one side of the market as on the otlher. The influences which were current in the early part of the day were unmistakably depressing to senti ment. The contingent of room traders atr tempted to take advantage of this by selling; stocks. Prices yielded without vigorous re sistance, but the supply of stocks coming out on the decline was scanty. A position of firmness was argued from this and the pro fessional sales were, therefore, covered by corresponding purchase. The improvement bad little effect in prompting active commit ments, owing to the desire to await the pub lication of President Roosevelt's special mes sage to Congress tomorrow, and observe its effect on general opinion. Brokers claim to be quite well informed on the contents of the message and ' abstracts were circulated at the Stock Exchange, professing to give with reat particularity literal passages of the document, containing a strain of Invective against some of the; prominent Interests ifi the corporation world and against their ac tions, as well as a vigor of criticism and de nunciation of the world of the Stock Exchange itself, which created & considerable sensa tion. While the early weakness of the market, due to this influence, was overcome, the con tinued dullness was attributable to the re pressing influence of the same factor. The closing of two of the smaller clearing-house banks, which had been unable to throw off the Incubus of distrustful Influences, was not a marked factor in the stck market, nor was the run precipitated on another Institution, for the same reasons. Some special weakness was exhibited In Delaware & Hudson. The reduction of the anthracite output left other members of the group of Coalers sensitive to the influence of this stock. The weakness in the London copper market was against ai advance in stocks. The market was in a torpid state the latter part of the day. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $3,732,- 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. ' CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales, High. Low. Bid.

STANDS FOR FISH WHEELS fSays That Salmon Run Best When Sea Iiions Are Plentiful. PORTLAND, Jan. 30. (To the Editor.) A movement is on foot in Oregon to pre vent the- taking of salmon from the Co lumbia River by means of drag-seines, set-nets, fish-wheels and gill-nets above Vancouver, Wash. The movement i Dart of the plan of the lower river fisher moj to prevent any wheels operating in the river. The chief objection to the taK- ing of salmon, say the opponents of the "wheels," is the killing or the young sal mon and the prevention of the older sal mon reaching the spawning grounds in the UoDer Columbia River. It is a well known fact that not one wheel on the upper river has ever taken out of the river one marked small sal mon proving conclusively that if the marked salmon were returning to the river, that the wheels would certainly pick up at least some of them; Marked salmon, it is true, have been taken from the mouth of the river, but not a single one from the upper river fisheries. There are no small salmon marked. Do they catch the small ones that bear the hatch ery marks with traps, seines or wheels? That is what I want to know. This should prove that the wheels are not destroying the fish or decreasing the pack. According to the best observers, the fish run best when the sea lions are the most plentiful. Since the, sea lions have been diminished, the salmon are getting scarcer. lt is well known that the fish will loiter around the mouth of BROKERS STOCKS, BONDS, GRAIIN Prlvita Wires ROOM 4. CHAMBER the river for days and weeks and won't 1 come In. But let the sea lions approach and they will not lose any time in ascend ing. I have -watched this circumstance for many years and everv fisherman anows it to be true. If we want (rood salmon runs, there must be plenty of sea lions. The sea lions should be pro tected on the breeding grounds. If 300 sheep are placed in a pasture alone they will stay, but if there are three wolves among them, these wolves, will frighten them all over the country. It is the same with sea lions. They frighten the salmon up the river. The United States Government should draw a line In front of Kort Canby Lighthouse from the upper end of the eddy down to the mouth of the Columbia. If it prevents the gill-nets from coming outside of that line, there would not be any fishermen drowned, for that is the most dangerous place on the river. That is the reason why the Government is forced to put an extra life-saving man on the life-saving crew, and that is the worst graveyard for fishermen. How can a man expect to get the salmon to come up the river, whan there are about 1000 boats at the mouth of the Columbia? That is what is turning the salmon over to Shoal- water Bay, Grays Harbor and Tillamook. The gill-nets will not let them come In. I have been fishing on the Columbia for 14 years and have been watching the fish eries all the time. I have fished with traps, seines, wheels and gill-nets. There are several thousand gill-net fishermen on the Columbia.. why do they fish there? They say they cannot fish in clear water. Why then do they stay there and fish for days In clear water? Just mere ly to prevent the seine fishermen from catching anything. We can prove that there are from 500 to 1000 boats that are fishing when the water is so clear that we can see three feet deep. ' we have a hatchery at the Chinook Beach. Nick Hanson is the superintendent of this hatchery and is doing splendiuly. I win admit that any man who aban dons his trap should be compelled to pull up the piling. No man should be allowed to cut up the salmon and use part of it and throw the remainder back into the water. I wish that the fishermen from Baker's Bay would come up the Columbia River apd investigate the fishing there, for I have been up the river and found that the fishing Industry is a great deal different there than on the Lower Co lumbia. We admit that with the trap and seine we take all kinds of fish, large and small, but we don't take any of the small, marked salmon. There are two kinds of salmon. There is one kind that never grows large, and these are distin guished by the spawn that is Inside of them when full grown. I am ready to prove everything I have said in this communication. The fisher men don't need to think that the fish can not come up the Columbia for they can. In the first place, the wheels cannot run before the last of May, because they stand on dry land and they have to quit again about the last of July. So, there Is plenty of time for the fish to come to the spawning grounds on the Upper Co lumbia. J. A. O. STEKSLAND. WORN OUT BY EXPOSURE Survivors ot Eclipse Reach Hono lulu in Fearful Condition.
