13 TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1909- HEWGHEESESGARGE Tillamook Factories Are Closed Down. OWING TO BAD ROADS Local Tralc for a Time AVII1 Ilare to Depend on Storage Supplies. Illeh Prices Are Offered for Vilicat. New cheese has tcora a "T sesree article and the market Is likely to be en tirely bare of It fir a considerable tlmo to come. The factories at Tillamook are not making anything because the roads In that section are In such condition that they can do no haullrg. There Is no prospect, therefore, of getting any r.ew rhe-e from that place for 10 days. JoIbrs and others re compelled to draw upon storage stocks, for which the demand has suddenly be come strong. The inquiry, however, at the present time Is entirely local, there being but little disposition on the part of outsWle markets to use Oregon chese. Prices have not been change!. Butter is quoted all the way from 3 to 89 cents with the bu:k of business at 37 cents, which appears to he the current market value. The undertone, however. Is aid to be easier, as stocks are accumulat ing1 In some quarters. mf.H TRICES OFFERED FOR WHEAT. Blnestrm and Aln flub Are In Demand. Oats Mrom In Country. Firmness prevailed In nearly all the grain markets yesterday. In the wheat market the demand was good for both bluestem and club. A sale of bluestem at tl.OS was reported. This price was offered for a large lot and an offer of II 08 was also made. There were offers as high as tt cents for good milling club. There Is a steady inquiry from Cali fornia for oats at better prices than of fered rervntlv. but they do not come up to the figures cun-ent here. In fact, the local market Itself Is under the Interior market and as result very few oats are coming this wk. The receipts of oats for the week to date have been only eight cars and last week only three cars ar rived. Barley is steady with a moderate local demand. There Is much Interest in the prohable movements of the British steamer Katanga, now at ManzanlUo. Mexico, and lifted for thl port. It has been known for some time that she was chartered to take out a wheat cargo and lt Is now bclievod her destination will be Mexico. Bid and asked prices were posted at the Board of Trade as' follows: WHEAT.' Bid. AsVed. January 1 M I .?! February 3i .! OATS. " January I 5 l.!1i February 1.67'j 1.70 BARLEY.

Ahout son bales of hops were bought by McNeff Bros, yesterday, including 20 bales of lfNiTs at Fuyallup. The firm also bought of last year's crop so bales from Orton Bros., of Sumner: r0 bales from J. N. Hoff man, of Forest Grove; 49 bales from Frank Meyer, of Eugene; .".S bales from L. I-. Gray, of Dayton, and SO bales from a Eugene ea;er. The general aspects of the market remain unchanged. Orowers take a bullish view of the future and are not ready sellers, where as the demand Is of satisfactory propor tions, though most of the late buying has been entirety for American account. FRESH PRODl'CE MOVING BETTER. Supplies Are Not Heavy and Prices Are Firm. There was a very g"-d demand for vege tables of all k!ni yesterday and a sun;iirs en the atreet were not reaiy. prices' were. In the main, firmly maintained. There a also a etealy Inquiry for or anges, banana and a;ple. A car of Cali fornia oranges arrived. a well as a ship ment of Japanese orangee. The latter were quoted at PO cents a box. or tl.75 a bundle. There were no n.w rievelopnienta in the p--tato and onion markets, both of which were firm. A car of red globe onions k coming fn'tn t'nlcn. Buyer Again Taking Fgga. There wu a better demand for ccpa yce ' terday and as receipts are small, it is prob able that the decline has been temporarily checked. Prices quoted on the street ranged from 37i to 40 cents, with some c!ean-up business said to have been done at 37 cents. There was a moderate inquiry for poultry and former price mere gtnera'.ly maintained. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes teartiay were aa follows: Clearings. Balances.

PRICE CHANGES ARE SMALL Professionals' Efforts to Attract a Following Affairs Quiet In Money and Exchange Markets. Bonds Are Irregular. NEW TORK. Jan. 20. There was per ceptible growth today of the disinclination to deal in stocks, which has been increas ing for several days past. The first hour of the session showed a spurt of activity which seemed to be due to hopeful test ing operations by the professional clement. With the failure of those efforts to arouse any Interest or to attract any following, the market lapsed Into neglect and at times Into stagnancy with another little flurry of activity In the final hour. Today the New York Central directors ad journed once mono with the announcement that only routine matters had been con sidered. This puts off again the supposed entry of Harrlman and associates into the directorate, which has been said to be im minent many times. A decline In Amalgamated Copper was the response to the reports of unfavorable conditions in the copper trade. Except in special cases, the day's changes proved in significant. Affairs were almost as much at a standstill In the money and exchange markets as In stocks. Bonds werelrregular. Total sales. $5,564, 000., United titates 2s coupon advanced & per cent on call.

GAVE JAY COULD 70 CENTS John Burroughs Says Millionaires Are Unhappy. TrwAi-A. N. T.. Jan. 20. John Bur roughs, the naturalist, who la visiting here, believes that few millionaires are really happy- He is quoted In an inter view as follows: "I do not believe In the doctrine attrib uted to John D. Rockefeller, that If you want to make your wife happy all you have to do is to give her plenty of money. I do not believe the possession of money and happiness are aynonymous. If Mr. Rockefeller Bad Deen quoted correctly, he Is making: a declaration that I belleVe American women and women all over the world will resent. They want love first of all if they are provided with the right in stincts. "I eat behind Jay Gould in school and once he wrote a composition on a slate for me when I needed Ideas. That day he needed 70 cents, and I gave the sum to him for two old schoolbooks. I eaw him later In life when he was worth $70,000,000, but I do not think he was happy. The money fire was blazing In his eyes and I am sure lt reached his brain and consumed his life, sending him to an untimely grave. "The great problem of today is the making of money. It is unquestionably the occupation that engages the minds of the vast majority of people. But from what I have seen of life and those leading it, when one has obtained a competency money is superfluous, just like an excess of what Is not needed to round out the figure and give lt a handsomer appear ance. Piling up wealth then becomes like piling on flesh and greatly hinders the en joyment of the best things of this life. "I know millionaires and know very few happy ones.

He is trying to get rid of his money and he takes a keen delight in doing good with It Directorate Is Re-elected. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Jan. 20.

MAY UP ONE CENT Heavy Buying Causes Nervous Market at Chicago. DEAL OF MILLION BUSHELS Small Receipts in Northwest Form Basis of Much of the Strength. . Ijater Deliveries Are Not So Firm. CHICAGO. Jan. 20. The feature of trade In the wheat pit today was the congestion In the May delivery, which resulted at times in a highly nervous market. Sen timent in the pit. however, was decidedly bullish, and at the close prices were almost at the highest point. Small receipts In the Northwest formed the basis of much of the strength, although the light move ment was partially offset by a decline in the price of wheat at Liverpool. A leading commission house was reported to have purchased more than 1.000.000 bushels of the May delivery during the day, and this buying caused an advance of 1 cent for that option from the low point of the ses sion. Other deliveries showed less strength. At the close May sold at L07 1.07 3s and July at OSSOS'ic. Th corn market closed Arm. with May at 61T4C and July at 62Hc.
