THE 3IORMXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY. JANUARY 30, 1913. 17 WHEAT BUYING LESS Prices Are Well Maintained on All Grades. FARMERS ARE NOT SELLERS Dealers Offering More Freely but Making No Coinresslons Miller Reported to Be Out of Market. Import Flour Is Quiet. tttm vn&t m&rkct a much quieter yes- tcrtlay at rortland. on the Hound and in the country. So far as farmer were concemea there was no change In the situation, hut on the part of dealers there was rather more disposition to sell ana taKe preseni profits. The freer offerings, however, wero not accompanied by any concessions in prl res. Bluest eni was available at JW5 cents and Hub around S8 cents, but there did not appear to be much demand at these fig ures. The millers on the Sound were said te be out of the market, an occurrence that frequently follows their periodical meeting, although it does not always mean a cessa tion of activity. At the present time, however, there seems lo be less desire on the part of millers to load up with wheat. The Oriental demand for flour has slackened down In a material decree, and this may be the reason. There was not much business passing- in oats or barley, and prices were unchanged. The grain bag market is active and firm at 10 cents. Local recelpta In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Bartey Flour Oats Hay Mnndav ."I! 2 11 3 Tnmlv .....

In ad dition to the above there were a consider able number of clean-up small sales of vari ous grades and qualities of territory wools. The attitude of the Eastern trade on con tractus; Is shown by the following report from Boston: Contracting for growing wool In the West Is hindered by the attitude of flock masters at present. They want prices v.hlrh approximate those of last season. The buyers from the East, howexer, feel that this attitude is unwarranted, in view of the tariff outlook, and they have so far refused to operate. It looks as though shearing will be under way In Wyoming be fore any buying Is done, as none has yet been reported. Ft'TVRJS COCRSE OF SUGAR PRICES Market at Present Is TMscountlnjr Bad Conditions. The outlook for the sugar market is viewed in- the following light by a New York surar authority: "The sugar market discounts good condi tions as well as bad conditions. It Is dis counting the bad conditions now. The good conditions are to come after the height of the Cuba grinding season has been passed, production from then on lessening. At that time the demand for refined will be making tiK strides, a demand that In its full amount for the year Is counted upon to show a bij Increase over the consumption of 1912. There will be a speculative Inquiry that will help to carry temporary excess stocks." Demand for Hops Ierreaea. The demand for hops bus flattened out, both here and In California, and no market activity ta expected before buying starts for February shipment. Beer sales for the month of December, according to returns to the Internal Reve nue Department, were 4,631,951 barrels in 1912, against 4.t9.1B7 barrels In 1911. Cheese Market In Good Shape. Cheese Is going Into consumption in a fairly active may. and the market is very steady at present prices. Butter Is clean ing up well and la also steady. Poultry was in light supply yesterday and the market was firm, especially for hens. Dressed meats moved at former prices. The demand for esses was moderate and prices were fairly steady. Cheap Applrs Only Are Wanted. There mas a fair demand yastorday for cheap grade apples at r.Otfcrrtt cents, but ver- few wero te be hnd. The better grades were neglected. Considerable shipments of red Hood Ktver., s'Ookhave been made to California, The vegetable- market was lightly sup plied. With the quality mostly poor and prices high, buy ins was not of satisfactory volume. California advices were that no more celery will be shipped before March 1. Bank Clearings.

Gains made by the standard stocks on jesterday's rise were con siderably reduced today. Apparently the most pressing requirements of the short In terest had been satisfied, and the demand fell off with a resultant weakening in mar ket values. particularly among leading stocks, such as Reading. Union Facine. ateej. Amalgamated and the Hill shares. The spe cialties fared better. Although the breaking off of the peace negotiations had been definitely forecasted and the news had no pronounced influence on speculative sentiment, bear traders util ized this developmet with some success.

SHORTS LIFT WHEAT Xealon, Boosts Varlan, Recruit Out fielder Colin Almost Signs Sport Editor as Pitcher. After announcing; unofficially that the Portland Colts would train for the 1913 Northwestern League campaign at San Rafael, Cal., Manager Nick Wil liams was forced to erase that town from his list yesterday afternoon. Nick received a telegram from Jim Nealon, his scout, that the San Rafael diamond is under water from excessive rainfall and will not be in condition for play for three months. San Jose, Cal., takes its place as a prospective Colt training camp, Wil liams receiving an invitation from the Chamber of Commerce of that city. Nick has written to find out what fi nancial Inducements the San Jose peo ple will extend. Santa Rosa, another town near San Francisco, is beinu considered by Wil liams, who is experiencing more trouble in locating his men for-Spring maneuvers than did Walter McCredie before he finally decided on Visalia, Cal. Nealon writes to Williams boosting Varian, the San Francisco youngster who has been signed for the Colt out field. The lad is hitting the ball hard, and secured three hits off Harry Krause the other day. This is con sidered no small feat for a left-handed batsman againet a southpaw hurler. Joe Cohn, the Spokane owner, who tops the list of Northwestern magnates in signing up young players, came within 15 minutes of carrying a Port land sporting writer on his pitching staff for the 1913 season, or at least until the call for training camp. E. I. Mills, one of the prominent fans, "framed" the deal on Cohn. He met Joe in the lobby of a Portland hotel, mentioned a string of players he had placed in the game; declared that the McCredics did not know a player when they saw one, and whisperingly ad vised Joe to grab a lanky twirling phenom who stood several yards away. Joe approached tie object of the conversation, was visibly Impressed by the modest words in which the lad spoke of his diamond performances, and, after advising him to say nothing to anyone who might tip it off to Mc Credie, made an engagement for 12 o'clock the next day at the Cornelius Hotel. Joe left the hotel 16 minutes before 12 o'clock and the next day left town, which saved him from the "kid ding" of his career. Bob Cronin was the pitcher in ques tion, but the simple disguise of substi tuting a cap for a derby fooled Joe, who has known Cronin for several, years. YAMHILL LEAGUE FINDS FAVOR Dallas Fans Enthusiastic About Fro- posed Baseball Circuit. DALLAS. Or., Jan. 29. (Special.) News dispatches appearing in The Ore gonian from Hillsboro and McMinnville discussing the formation of a Yamhill league for baseball, to be composed of teams from Hillsboro, Forest Grove, McMinnville, Sheridan and Dallas, though not formally brought to the attention of baseball enthusiasts of this city, bave created much discus sion along this line, and plans are be ing made for the purchase of a tract within the city limits to construct a ball park and furnish a site for the annual County Fair of Polk County.

ORCHARDISTS TO ORGANIZE Effort to Be Made to Keep Professor Lawrence nt Hood River. HOOD RIVER, Or., Jan. 29. (Spe cial.) Finding that the county cannot legally Employ a plant pathologist to study the causes and find prevention for diseases that attack orchards, a number of the orchardists are plan ning on forming an association and employing Professor W. H. Lawrence to look after their tracts. For the last year Professor Lawrence, who has ten years' experience in experimental work in the state of Washington, as head of the Pullman station, has been em ployed by the county as fruit inspector at a salary of $2500 a year. A recent report of the grand Jury warned the County Commissioners that the main tenance of such an office was Illegal and that the county could only employ a fruit inspector and pay him S3 a day for actual work done. A number of the larger growers have pledged a fifth of the amount neces sary to keep Professor Lawrence here, according to announcement of P. S. Davidson, an orchardist. E. H. Shep ard, another orchardist, and publisher of "Better Fruit," has pledged his sup port to the new ' organization, which will be similar to the Fellowship Asso. ciation, through which Professor Law. rence was brought to the valley two years ago. It is planned that the sal ary of the expert shall be raised by an annual assessment of $1.50 an acre on orchard property of the members. TRAFFIC CONFERENCE ENDS K. B.
