EAST WANTS WHEAT
4nquiries Are Again Received
in the Northwest.
ALL GRAIN VERY STRONG
Oats Steadily Advance With Small
Prospect of Getting Outside
Supplies Produce Trade
Is Active.
All the train markets seem t be en
caged tn a race for top mark honors.
Wheat, oats and barley ara being- steadily
puhd upward. The high prices In the
East immediately affect values in this seo
tlon because of the lightness of available
supplies. A good part of the demand comes
from California. The. Southern dealers were
bears on grain during all the early part of
the season, but they htn had to eome into
'the market at last and are now active
buyers. Most of the transactions at x-
tram prioea whlah are reported from time
to time ara for California account.
Oats were especially strong yesterday.
' Stocks In local warehouses ara reported to
be very light and buying la of a hand-to-month
character. Receipts have been
light for some time and no cars came In
yesterday. The demand In the country Is
so keen that It takes up practically all the
oats that are offered. Local holders asloed
as high as JS3.E0 yesterday, but there were
no buyers at that price. .
Dealers whothave made an effort to get
oats In the Fast have not been able to ac
complish anything. A wire from an Eastern
house stated that prices had advanced
sharply, as the cold weather reduced offer-
' Sngs to a minimum. Prloes ara also too
high In Montana to permit oats being
brought from that state. Canadian oats
are out of the Question at present.
The demand for barley Is almost as
strong -as for oats, and offerings are on a
very light scale.
The rise In wheat prices In ths Eastern
markets has further reduced the number
of sellers In the Northwest. Buyers In this
market Quote as fair prices $1.17 491.18 for
bluestem and S1.051.07 for club, though
as high as J1.10 has been paid for the lat
ter. There were offera yesterday equivalent
to 11.18 In the Big Bend country for blue
stem, with farmers demanding $1.10. The
most Interesting news of the day in the
wheat market was a wire from Spokane re
porting that there were Inquiries from the
East In that market for wheat.
l.ncal reoelpts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows: -

rot'LTRT MARKET IS VERT WEAK.
Steady Jecline in Chicken Prices Turkeys
Are Slow.
Weakness Is still the feature of the poul
try market. Reoelpts ara out of all pro
portion to the demand and prices, es
pecially of chickens, continue to decline.
Sales of hens were made as low as 18 H
cents yesterday. . For dressed turkeys, 25
cents was Quoted as the top. A car of
mixed live poultry was received from East
ern Oregon by a local packer andv will
probably be held for the Christmas trade.
Two cars of dressed turkeys and a car of
docks, geese and chickens Is coming from
the East for the holidays.
The egg market was steady and un
changed. An Improved demand ss expected
for the next 10 days, which may cause a
firmer market.
Butter and cheese were acttve at nn
; ehanged prices.
Condition of Foreign Grain Crops.
Foreign crop condition are reported by
the Liverpool Corn Trade News s fol-
lows:
United Kingdom The early planted wheat
is In fine condition: rains, however, have
stopped further sowing.
franco, Italy. Fpain and Germany The
crop outlook Is favorable and supplies of
native wheat have increased; the weather
is mild.
Australia Harvesting is progressing and
the weather is favorable. Our agent at
New South Wales says: "The strike there
le interfering with receipts at the sea
board." Russia The entire wheat area with the
exception of the extreme south is under
: enow, which is favorable for the crop;
stocks of wheat at the ports and also the
interior are large.
Roumanla The crop outlook Is favorable
and supplies of both wheat and corn are
liberal; the weather is mild.
North Africa The crop outlook continues
; most favorable.
Good Market In Or en Produce.
Fresh produoe receipts were light yester
day, but there were ample stocks on hand
for the good demand that developed. An-,
! other shipment of. Japanese oranges was
i put on sale at 1.25 1.60 per bundle.
I Otherwise prices were unchanged. Cali
fornia advices say that the damage by the
recent cold weather to field sweet potatoes
wss severe and that hereafter the trade
will have to depend solely on cellar stock.
Bank Clearings.

EXPECT FIRM TURKEYS
SKAT1XE DEALERS LOOK FOR
GOOD CHRISTMAS PRICES.
Afraid, to Order In Bast Because of
XTncertaln Deliveries 'Butter
and Eggs Firmer.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 14. (Special.)
Reports received here from Portland stated
that dealers were offering 28 cents for tur
keys there, which led dealers here to be
lieve that a strong market Is In sight for
the Chrlstmastlds. It is pretty certain that
dealers will take no chances in ordering
Eastern poultry with delivery as unsatisfac
tory as at present. Retailers are not buy
ing yet and dressed stock is nominal at 28
cents and live at 25 cents.
The difficulty In getting butter and eggs
through from the East Is stiffening those
commodlltles.
Feed dealers have decided to contest the
new law effective January 1, compelling
all mixed feeds to bear a state label. A
test case will be brought.
Navel oranges have dropped to $2.50, and
at that price good ripe fruit moves brisk
ly. Potatoes were stiller today, owing to
light receipts. Only for an oversupply of
inferior potatoes, prloes would advance.
Twenty dollars was obtained for the best
today. Florida grapefruit moves rapidly.
Boat receipts from the South were below
normal, and as a result stocks of green stuff
are limited.
In grain, the tone was firm, but prices
are nominally unchanged.

UPON DEAL RUMORS
Wide Movements in the Less
Important Stocks.
LEADERS ARE IRREGULAR
Preparations for Enforcing the New
Tax a Source of Disquiet to Cor
porations Time Interest
Rates Are Lower.
irarw TOTRK. (Dee. 14. The stock market
today wee srttH characterized by the wide
movements) tn stocks not neoally prominent in
the dealings. The sudden swakentnr into
activity of these at advancing prices was ac
companied In some cases by "dear' rumors.
Hera and there were slight signs of reinvest
ment demand, in anticipation of the profits
to be available, for use after the first of the
yea" . . In tho Bd market, where It is usual
ly most marked, it has made no perceptible
impression at all. the demand for bonds continuing-
inert up to this time. ,
The speculative movement was halting and
Irregular. Tbe active strength of the first
hour seemed to be taken advantage of to effect
some distribution of stocks and the' tone was
drooping thereafter. The action of Reading
was of large sympathetic effect in this result.
That stock, after early strength, sold off on
reports that the meeting of directors to act
on the dividend would be held tomorrow.
Attention was attracted by a report that
the United . States Steel Corporation will as
sign preferred stock for subscription to em
ployee this year In pursuance of the profit
sharing plan, instead of common stock, for
which the employes were allowed to subscribe
at 60 last January.
Preparations for enforcing the corporation
tax are a cause of disquiet to corporations.
Adroit use Is being made in the speculation
of the varying rumors of the merger of the
so-called Guggenheim copper properties, of
which official details were lacking today.
Interest rates for 60 days and six months
loans were lowered today, with increased of
ferings and lessened demand. Call loans
again touched 5 per cent. Foreign exchange
rates were higher again today and gold was
engaged for shipment to South America.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $3,622,000. United States Zs advanced
H per cent on call.
