' DECLINE 10 CENTS ROLL Eggs Are Sluggish and Poultry Not So Firm Portland and Seattle Flour Prices on a Parity. Mohair Is Weak. , Butter prices dropped 10 cents a roll yes t'rdty. A decline was looked for, but It was not s;neratly expected to be o treat. It -a a car of taking the bull by the horns, Tiowever, and the creamery men thought It htter to have one bijr drop. now than two urn Her ones in short Intervals. The para In the butter market this year Is being iet by California. They have an early season and plenty of grass there and the result Is that prices have fallen sharply and at an earlier dale than usual. Creamer' butler has dropped n the San Francisco exchange as low as 24 cents. This made It Impossible to hold up the Portland price, as a Mich market hern would only' tnvke a flood of the California product, so local quo tations were lowered. Rent city creamery was uniformity quoted ytrday at :iO cents a pound. A few well established outside brands were held at the ami price and other good country cream ery was offered at 27 i cents. At this time last year, the wholesale prica of buttrr in Portland was W cents. Two years ago butter sold at .to rrnts, three year o at r.2V cents and on this date in UWM, the market stood at 3 cents. ARRIVALS OF JTBW-CMP MOHIIR. Trade tn th Eat In Very null- Domestic and Foreign Price. . A few small lots of mohair are coming; in. tiut the stormy weather will put a stop to eharlna- where It has begun.

WASHINGTON FLOVR PRICKS LOWERED Quotations Are Reduced 15 Cents Per Bar- rel at Heat tie. PRATTLR, Wash.. March 13. f Special.) TSashlngton and Oregon flour miller, at the con-luelon of a banquet given at the Hotel Butler laflt night, reduced the price of flour 13 cents a barrel. Business conditions, par ticularly relating to the export trade, caused the reduction announced last night by mem bers of the association, which includes, the principal nourmill men of the Pacific North west. The statement waa further made that retail dealers of flour had agreed to reduce the price of flour G cents a sack, which amounts to a reduction of 20 cent a barrel to the con sumer. Further reductions may be made If business condition warrant. Oregon Prunes Firmer In" the Kant. Italian prunes are faring better now In the Fsstern market, according to the New York Journal of Commerce of March 8. which said: A feature of the market Is the firmer tone In Oregon prunes, due to the cleanup of weak, holdings and a closer concentration of re maining spot storks. To this Is added an Increasing demand from the East Side trade owing to the approaching Hebrew holidays?. The Improvement Is most marked In 30-40s. which are In small ccmpaae here and are said to be unobtainable on the Coaat. There is a steady but moderate demand for California jrunen on the spot with prices still favoring the buyer, thouph the weakness is pro nounced than It woe last month. Receipts of Chickens larger. Ttecelpts of chickens were the largest yes terday of any day this week, and as a conse quence buyers were not o disposed to pay the fancy prices previously aked. The day's arrivals, however. Were worked off without much difficulty. There was a good demand for ducks and turkeys, both live and dressed, sold well. Geepw were dull. Kggs were weak and slow. Very few out-of-town orders were filled and supplies accu mulated in some quarter. Storing is being done in a small way and will be more actively tugagvd In If there is a further decline in prices. Produce Shipments En Route. There were no carlot receipts of -produce yesterday, but two cars of vegetables and three of oranges are due today. A Los Ange las wire reported the three cars of bananas due Wednesday to be in good condition. A car of sweet potatoes has started north and will reach here Wednesday. The markets were fairly actlce yesterday. In spite of the stormy weather. Very few oranges were on the street. Prices generally were unchanged. No Change In IxhuI Flour Price. The Puget Sound millers have reduced their flour prices 33 cents per barrel. This cut puts the Portland and Pound markets on a parity, so there will be no change in domestic grade here. No change In export flour prices is contemplated, so far as known. The wheat market continues very dull, with previous quotations still In rffect. Harrlsburg Hopgrowers Plow I p. HARRISBURO.

NEW TORK, March 13- The stock mar ket lapsed back Into dullness today and the decrease In activity was accompanied by an uncertain, and at times, feverish price movement. The effect was to confuse spec ulative sentiment to a large extent. Stocks which have been strong recently were fed out In salee. white other new strong stocks were advancing, thus giving the appearance of a realising market. The character of the support on declines parried an impression of continued guardianship of the market by operators equipped with powerful resources. The rates for borrowed stock reflected the important reduction of the short interest, premiums baving disappeared'. The moder ate pressure on the market of sales .to real ize, on the other hand, did not indicate in convenience for those long of stocks. Prices rose rapidly in the last half hour to a strong closing. Much attention continued to be directed toward Washington. The denial that an in vestigation of stocft exchanges had been or dered attracted much attention. The stock exchange had become somewhat reconciled to the prospect of an Investigation, but the trouble taken to deny the Intention to make one was given importance as a favorable in dication. Union Pacific was actively dealt in during the early period of weakness in the market and the indicated action of a few stock- J holder to demand an accounting of the big directors as to the purchases of Illinois Cen tral and other stocks from Individual di rectors was connected with the movement. The estimates of the week's currency mnvmnt m-Ar f Httle effect, owing to the large extent to which receipts on balance of the Interior movement have offset the with- j drawals of Government decoslts on Mondoy. The week's loss in cash seems to be "not more than $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. Foreign influences were not In favor of the market.
