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.

Stock Traders Not Disposed
to Make Commitments.
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.

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

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.
