THE MORMXG -' - - . - J " - " J.- 1 ' ' : V WHEAT TRADE STOPS Dealers Cannot Operate on Present Freight Rates. ONLY DEMAND FROM JAPAN Orientals Want Grain, but Cannot Pay Prices Farmers Are Holding For, Unless Steamer Tariff Is Reduced. A deadlock rusts in the wheat market ml business has coma almost to a stand still. So far as can be seen- nothing will start thine" coins aealn except a lower freight tariff to the Orient. The; only de mand of consequence comes from that di rection. The Japanese buyers, however, ay they cannot pay the prices at which wheat la held here on the present freight rati". Farmers and other grain holders cl!ne to come down and in view of the mallness of supplies left In the Northwest, they are no doubt justified in holding. The steamship people have given notice that they will not reduce rates, have. In (act, turned down liberal offers of freight t lower prices, yet have appealed to pub llo bodies to give them support. The Train trade of this city does not see why it should lose money In this way and ship ping business and buying for shipping ac count have, therefore, come to stop. A. few minor transactions were reported yesterday within the range of quotations, but the large lots In tho country are firmly held and cajinot be bought within several cents of the prices quoted by dealers here.

The fgg market took another fi-cent drop yesterday. A few sales were made at the oivriins of business at the previous day's quotations, hut thereafter prices slid -off rapidly. Most of the trading in the after noon was at a range of 24 to 26 cents. At tlii close eKSS might have been bought for loss. Jobbers cannot remember a time when tlio market wait so demoralized as at present. From Mil indications prices have gone down too fast, and there la likely to be a reaction soon. Yesterday's receipts wore estimated at cno cases, which is no more -than a day's consumption. Many re tailors are still holding at old prices, as . they bought the eggs when the market was higher. When the retail price gets down to" a parity with the wholesale quotation Portland will use more eggs. The poultry market was also weak, though receipts could not be called heavy. Hens and Springs sold at 15Viffll6 cents. Dressed meats were firm. The butter market was firm, as there was no surplus of Oregon creamery on the market. ORANGES ' NOW RETAILING ' BY "BOX Ij'n usually low Price Stimulates Local Con sumption. The orange market Is booming. The fruit coming out of California now Is the finest In the history of the state, and prices re lower than dealers ever knew them to be before. Prices asked by California grow ers are at bedrock and freights are lower, 11 of which goes to the benefit of consum ers. That the local trade is heavy is shown by tho fact that retail growers are now selling oranges to their customers by the box. No carlot receipts of vegetables were re ported, but the street had an ample sup ply of most kinds. The first car of Florida tomatoes is in transit, and they will sell t J4.50 per six-basket crate. Cauliflower Is scarce and firm. Celery is not so good as recent shipments, but the price is firm nd somewhat higher at shipping point. Cabbage is now about finished locally and California la mostly supplying the market. New Flat Dutch Is coming from San Mateo County. The price Is firm and may go higher. 8weet potatoes are arriving in fine condition. MARKETING EARLY CONTRACT WOOLS Eastern Trade Speculates on Outcome of 1 Forward Business. Reports have . been circulated that wool contracting has Btarted fn Montana, but firms In a position know assert that nothing beyond tho usual loans on a few Individual small clips haa been done. In Eastern Oregon some operations of this kind have also been carried on. In com menting on the general contract situation an Eastern authority says: "Considerable interest attaches to the pos sibility of profitable marketing of the clips bought. The opinion apparently prevails that those secured: first at 11 to 12 cents will -bring a profitable margin in the East, but later bought supplies present a prohlem. It does- not seem likely that the early ex perience or Duyers in Southern Utah will be duplicated. The favorable prices then at tained will no longer be tolerated by grow ers, according to the attitude since in evi dence. The growera have shown a tendency to take prompt advantage of signs of ac tivity on the part of the wool trade. EASTERN MOHAIR MARKETS QUIET Large Tart of Fall Texas Clip Is Still Unpurchased. Conditions in the mohair markets in the East and abroad are quiet, according to the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which says: "There has been no business worthy of note iu the trade during the week, either on domestic or foreign hair. Prices are not nmlelily changed. The Fall Texas clip is till unpurchased, for the most part, and held in Texas at 2i to "0 cents. "Foreign atlirts both from the primary mark-its and Yorkshire are dull and prices aro merely steady Spinners in Yorkshire report no r.usines t.r moment either In do mestic cr foreign dr-mand.

Hart of the Bolter crop of 160 bales at Brooks. A three-year contract was made by Klaber. Wolf A Netter for 150 bales of the Klrtland crop at Sola. The price was not announced. Certain Coast dealers are offering 1913 bops to Eastern brewers at 194 cents de livered, which goes far toward explaining conditions la the market at this end. Bank Clearings.

GENERAL SITUATION GOOD Iron Industry Recovering iVom Pre vious Depression, Although 15 u j - ing by Railroads Is SUill on Limited Scale. NEW YORK. Feb. 13. Dun's Review will say tomorrow: Distribution of seasonable merchandise has been stimulated by zero temperatures, which have accelerated the movement of heavy weight apparel and fuel. Recent stormy, weather also broadened the demand for foot wear, and the general business situation re flects gradual betterment. It Is significant that the leading interests in iron and steel reported a considerable gain In unfilled tonnage during January, following a year of continuous losses. This obviously means that the great basic in dustry Is recovering from previous depres sion, notwithstanding the fact that the railroads still confine their purchases to the closest possible limits. In the matter of prices the general ten dency is upward, with producers reluctant to contract for future business, except at advances over former quotations. Failures this week numbered 40S in the United States, against 320 last year, and 51 in Canada compared with 33 a year ago. LARGE PRIMARY MARKET TRADE GOOD Iron, Steel, Cotton and Wool Manufacturing: Bnslness Is Growing. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. Bradstreets will say tomorrow: There has been a shift ot activities In trado and Industry, but no apparent abate ment of the sanguine sentiment hitherto in evidence. Activity has been chiefly noticeable in the larger primary markets, where good reports as to past business have been and are being confirmed, and in the ranks of final distributors who have felt the beneficial effects of a full week of cold weather upon retail trade In heavy wearing apparel. In iron and steel and in cotton and woolen manufacturing the erfects of good January ordering are now visible in larger outputs and increased capacity employed. Then. too. the first wave of Spring buying by interior jobbers and large retailers Is noted at the larger markets, where, how ever, buying is chiefly of small lots widely distributed. Busines failures this week were 30S, which compares with 285 in 11S. Wheat exports for the week aggregate 4.032,408 bushels, against 4.354,168 last year. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. Feb. 13.

CROP IS PROTECTED Ample Snow Covering Weak ens Wheat Market. CHICAGO CLOSES LOWER Keports of Export Sales at Various Points Do Not Stay Decline In Market Unsettled Weather Sends Corn Up. CHICAGO. Fob. 13. Ample snow cover ing throughout the entire Winter crop belt gave the wheat market today a downturn. Closing prices were at U 'si a net decline. Corn finished H to H Vic up and oats with a gain of a shade to He. The outcome in provisions was a loss ot ""i to 15 cents. Notwithstanding that export sales at Du luth were said 10 have amounted to more than 2.000.000 bushels, wheat prices here today could not be rallied in a way that was at all lasting. Assertions that a good foreign demand was In evidence at Kansas City or the seaboard were not verifled. Corn rose because of unsettled weather, expected to curtail tho movement to pri mary markets. Besides, tho West reported a better feeding demand and there were advices of crop damage from hall storms in Argentina, where shipments for the week fell off about 1,000.000 bushels, compared with last week and a year ago. Strength in oats was for the most part a reflection from corn. Lower prices on hogs carried down pro visions. After a decided break shorts bought freely to secure profits.

After a report that there were 12 to 15 cases of smallpox at Monmouth, State Health Officer "White, who re turned to Portland yesterday, found only four cases, of the disease. Dr. White did some wholesale vaccinating; and says that Monmouth is now the best protected community in the state. He vaccinated all the students in the Normal School who had not been vac cinated recently, as well as the pupils of the Hih SchooL All the teachers of the Hlgrh School except one submit ted to having their arms inoculated, and the entire faculty of the Normal School expressed themselves as being glad to avail themselves of the oppor tunity. Dr. White said that it had been re ported to him by Dr. O D. Doane, health officer of Wasco County, that seven residents of The Dalles who had taken the so-called "internal vaccina tion" were down with smallpox, which, he said, was a further proof of the in efficiencof that form of Immunity.
