NEW PRICE LEVELS
Important Changes in
Market Values.
Local
MEATS STILL CLIMBING
Flour Sharply Cut to Conform to
Lower Wheat Basis Butter
Carried Down by Saa
Francisco Slump.
There was more than the usual number
of local price changes announced yester
day, some of them taking Immediate effect
and other golns; Into force today. The
most important of these were the advances
in livestock, which were in keeping with
the upward trend of that market. A change
of particular interest to consumers -was the
5rop in flour auotatlons. Tn following
were the most Important changes:
IJve hogs, per hundred, advance 10c
Live steers, per hundred, advance aoc
Fresh and cured meats, per lb., adv. to Jo
Flour, per barrel, decline
JButter, per pound, decline
Unseed oil. per gallon, advance 3c
The, decline in flour prices, effective to
flay, is not a surprise to persons who have
been watching the course of the wheat
market, which is now much lower than
when the current flou quotations were
named. Cured and fresh dressed meats are
all moving up in company with the ad
vance in livestock. The decline in butter
Is seasonable and is principally induced, by
the flump In the California market.
SUAKP DROP TS THE F1XCT& MARKET
Itenta mil Be Quoted 40 Ccenls a. Barrel
Ixrwer Today,
Much to the surprise of the grocery trade,
(millers yesterday Announced a decline of 40
cents a barrel In patent flour, the decline
to take effect this morning. The new price
will be 93.73. There will also be a drop of
20 cents a barrel in export grades.
The reason given for the decline is the
low level of wheat prices. Bluestem wheat
Is only worth $1.10 today, whereas It was
elling for $1.18 when the flour prices quot
ed up to this time were fixed. While the
new flour prices are made to conform to the
current wheat values, it will be seen that
-the flour market has actually been placed
below the wheat basis.
No reports have yet been received of de
clines in the other flour markets of the
ICorthwest, but they are expected today.
The local grain market was very dull yes
terday. Wheat, oats and barley were quoted
unchanged.
L.ocal receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

THREE-CENT DROP IN BCTTER TODAY.
City Creameries Will Put Out a Quotation
of 38 Cente a Pound.
The city creameries will today put out
a new butter quotation of S8 cents a pound,
a decline of 3 cents from the prevailing
price.
This drop has been expected for several
days. One or two of the creameries had
begun to show a surplus, but the trade on
the whole has not been heavily stocked.
It is true that the output of cream has
grown, but most of the increase has been
taken oft by the sweet cream demand. What
has weakened the market m.-re than any
thing else, however, has been the slump
at San Francisco, where a price of 28
cents was fixed by the Exchange yesterday.
This drop in the South made the discrep
ancy too great between the California and
Oregon markets, and a decline here was
Inevitable.
It is probable another drop In the local
market is not far oft.
BOTTOM REACHED IN HOP MARKET.
W ith Orders Beginning to Come In Dealers

Hop dealers believe that bottom has been

London :

local livestock prices, especially on hogs,
may go. When the market touched $10
moBt of the dealers thought that was the
extreme top. and they took the same view
when the $11 level was reached. Tet the
price continues to climb. Yesterday's ad
vance over the previous day's quotation was
10 cents, which put the market at $11.25
per hundred. As prices in the East sagged
during the day. the advance here puts Port
land 23 cents above the best price of any
of the Eastern markets.

moat powerful speculative forces who had sold
heavily at the high levels last week had
withdrawn their benevolent control of the
market arid were not averse even to see prices
recede aealn. was harbored In the minds of
the professional element,- Thijs helped on the
decline.
The bulk of the sale were ascribed to
sources outside of New Tork, mostly West
ern . speculative centers. Greater confidence
was professed about the Stock Exchange In
the prospects of settlement of labor troubles
but the outside aelllng; seemed to be prompted
partly by uneasiness over the ultimate out
come of the wage controversies which re so
numerous in the railroad world.
Yesterdy's sharp break In prices in Itself
Induced some further liquidation by timid
holders and y those called on to put up
Additional margin. Signs of bear activity
were plainly Ken. These included & revival
of reports of J. P. Morgan s III health and al
leged anxiety over the physical condition of
the King of England.
The pressure to sell Cnlted States Steel waa
a sympathetic- influence. The publication of
the pamphlet report of the corporation dis
closed the favorable details of the year's op
erations, which furnished the avowed motives
for the latest advances In the stock. The
elaborate deuUia e ch report offered, no
striking additions to the main outline as al
ready known.
The dictation of the facts of the steel re
port and the needs of the uncovered shorts
contributed to the effective rally of the latter
part of the day. Muchf that was lost be
fore the closing, which, wa 3 weak.
Interior exchange moved In favor of New
York. Rates for time loans, however, were
firmly held.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,

California oil has become such a wonderful money-maker that it now ranks first

cantile pursuits. California oil companies listed upon tho T Antilles Stock Kxchanye
and San Francisco exchange paying nearly f 1.0 00,0 mo per month in dividends. You
must realize the truth of all this, for this information la constantly repeated 1n the
daily papers, so why not join th-a ranks of the fortunate stockholders vho are re
ceiving these protits? You can do so now by purchasing stock in the CoitliNKa Crude
Oil Company, now listed upon the Lios Angeles Stock Exchange, and being traded in
quite freely at prices around 30c per share. Thew prices are exceedingly low and
we predict a steady advance to 40c to Mc. per share. The company owns one of the
choicest pieces of absolutely proven territory in the entire Coalinga tit Id. The Co
alinga Crude is an exceedingly clean-cut organization, with a small capitalization and
no promotion stock ; owns its land, which it is actively developing. 1 luvminenl in

committee began its work.
