THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY. JANUARY 14, 1913. WHEAT BIOS RAISED Best Prices of Season Are Paid in the Country. MARKETS ARE EXCITED Covering Operations and Renewed Demand From California, and the East Combine to Strengthen Values Farmers Hold Back. The country -wheat market were strong yesterday under excited bidding by coast and interior buyers, and the best prices ot the season were paid. Club was taken at S3 cents and urobably bettor, and bluestem changed hands at a price equal to 89 cents track. The fanners, who are reaping the benefit of their long holding, are but lit tle disposed to let go. even at the advance, and the transfers were limited In volume. The wheat market in the Northwest has become a local proposition, as the price has ot beyond the export range. Shorts on the Sound, who sold to Japan for January-February-March shipments, some of , them as low as T cents, are protecting themselves. There Is also a heavier demand from California at better prices to add to the strength of the market, and there is likewise) inquiry from the East for Red Russian and white wheat. The coarse grains showed a continuance of last week's strength. Oats changed hands at $.5027, and farmers offerings were small. Xn early advance in patent flour prices is expected. Some of the mills on the Sound raised their lists 20 cents yesterday. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange, as follows: Wht. Brly. Fir. Oats. Hay.

Purchases by T. A. Lives ley & Co. were the Cook lot of 107 bales at McMlnnvllle, the Edmondson lot of 58 bales at Buttevllle, and another lot of about 50 bales at Buttevllle, all at 20 cents. Seavey & Johnson bought the Aiken and Jacobson lots at Mount Angel at 19 cents. In the past three days about 100 bales have been taken at 20 cents, which firmly establishes the market for the best hops at that price. Reviewing the Eastern trade the New York Journal of Commerce says: "The market Is unmistakably firm, and prevailing prices are higher than those at which the same grades sold a week or ten days ago. There is every indication that the demand will continue during the re mainder of the season, and stocks in grow ers' hands are being steadily depleted. MIXED VEGETABLES IX FROM SOUTH Shipment of Tangerine Helps Make Up the Orange Deficiency. A shipment of tangerines was received by steamer yesterday. With oranges scarce and high, the demand for tangerines was good at $2.25 a box. The local vegetable supply was Increased by the arrival of a mixed car from San Francisco containing cauliflower, sprouts, red cabbage, parsley and radishes. A car of fine Merced sweet potatoes also ar rived. The demand to? apples was limited, buy ers asking for only large fancy kinds, which were scarce. Four cars of bananas were received In green condition. WEAK UNDERTONE IX EGG MARKET Veal in Strong Demand at IS Cents and Defter Poultry Unchanged. The egg market was affected by the weather conditions. There was a firm de mand early in the day while snow was on the ground, but buyers were less keen after the snow thawed. Most sales were at 30 cents. Poultry receipts were light and last week's prices were quoted. Dressed pork was steady. Veal was scarce and firm at 16 cents, and some fancy calves brought IS cents. The butter and cheese markets were un changed. Bank Clearings. Rank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

In all departments of the list in roads were made on quoted values and there were frequent losses of 2 to 4 points. Trading was more active and the un certain tone of the early session was chamged into weakness as the day wore on. Bear operators showed more confi dence in their dealings, and made a num ber of successful drives with the coppers, the coalers and Steel as the especial ob jects ot attack. Steel sold down to the lowest price since May. On the exchange and in customers' rooms of commission houses, the topic most of ten discussed today was the speech of President-elect Wilson at Chicago.. on Sat urday. His remarks upon the banking and credit system attracted wide attention, and the street chose to place a bearish construc tion upon them. The copper group was again a sore spot In the market. It was admitted leading interests had bought under the long estab lished rate of 17 cents. There was an other sharp break in the metal market- In London. The bears hammered the copper stocks with considerable effect. Amalga mated being heaviest of the group. Telephone stocks were under pressure, which was associated with rumors of gov ernmental Investigation.

A good general aemand lor wheat tens the story of the advance in that market, for it occurred In the face of the largest visi ble supply In 12 years at this season. The nearness of spot wheat to a workable export basis, and a visible increase smaller than expected, were bullish factors. There was a fair demand for spot from millers.

Country offerings increased and primary arrivals were double those of the corresponding; day a year ago, but, as In wheat, bearish news was Ignored.

Proctor Is Brought Back From San Francisco tA Answer Louise Stevens' Accusations. W. B. Proctor, said to be a specialist on bilking- women out ot their money on promise of roarria&e. was brought back from San Francisco yesterday by Police Captain Baty. There, is an in- dictment against him here charging the larceny by bailee of a sum of money from Louise Stevens, who says that they were engaged to be married. but that her affianced husband left the cltv without taking her with him, Proctor Insists that he secured only about $40 from the woman, but she states that it totals between $500 and S600. Proctor- is a genteel, somewhat dis tinguished-appearing man between 65 and 60 years of age. He has represent ed himself as a Jewelry man up and down the Coast. According to Cap tain Baty, he is of the "type that makes good with the ladies; a sort of suave, soft-spoken person." He is said to have been given a check to purchase tickets for his affianced and himself to Los Angeles, but to have departed for the south without her on the steamer Elder. "He presented the check at the ticket office of the steamship company," said Captain Baty. "When the ticket seller expressed some doubt as to it, he was told to call up the woman, and she assured the clerk over the telephone that it was genuine. She did not know at that time that her promised husband was intending to leave town without her. "Another woman called up detective headquarters yesterday morning, and told the girl over the telephone that she- had been swindled by the same man. She was to swear to a complaint and bring it in. I suppose we will have some corroborative evidence of his trifling qualities."
