Libera! Shipments to C.io From Portland and Puget Sound. A large amount of export flour business has been done recently with the West Coast of South America. Some of the Puget Sound mills have filled orders of considerable size, and Portland mills have also enjoyed a share of the business. The prices are said to be low,1 considering the high cost of wheat. But for this demand the export flour trade would be dull, indeed. No business is passing with the Orient and none is expected soon. Ad vices from Hongkong. North China ports. Japan and Manila are of adequate supplies on hand, and some of these markets are overstocked. In South China there is still difficulty in distributing flour, owing to financial conditions. Tatents are quoted steady, with a fair do mestic movement for this time of year. Mill feeds of all kinds are firm and unchanged. A deadlock exists in the wheat market. There Is demand to be satisfied, but buyers refuse to raise their bids and sellers will not make concessions. Some club on the docks here was to be had yesterday at 93 cents, but not much of it. Uealers who have bought wheat for resale are generally hold ing out for stiff rates and farmers turn down offers at prices lately current. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants SXclfarrge as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay 8 4 22 6 2 IS 3 11 2 4 11 14 1 11 14.9"7 22T.0 2349 14R1 2369 15.3.-.1 1929 1965 1391 1802 Monday Tuesday Year ago - To date.

Sale In- Offers of 18 cents for the best spot hops have been made in this state In the past few days. but without Interesting sellers. Yakima grower are also holding tlrra and the same report comes from California. The de mand for the old crop la not active. There Is continued inquiry for contracts at 33 cents. Conditions in New York State are reported by the Watervitle Times a follows: "There has been but little improvement In weather conditions iere during the past week and work in the hopyards is still sev eral weeks In the future. From all reports we have been able to gather the hop acre age In this vicinity wm be practically the same as last year, the fairly remunerative prices of the past ycae making it possible for growers to conti.iue the business in splto of the added expense of sulphuring, caused by the attack of mold." STRAWBERRIES IN BETTER CONDITION Market Well Supplied With Vegetables. Asparagus Is Cheap. A good supply of California strawberries was received yesterday and they were In oener condition man tnose arriving on the Preceding day. The average quotation was .2 a crate. A car of Los Angeles cabbage was re ceived. A mixed car of vegetables is due today. Peas ottered at 7H8 cents and asparagus at the old price. The latter ar ticle is relatively cheaper here than in Cali fornia. Australian onions are going into con sumption at a good tate at 14.50 a hun- ired. a limited quantity of old Oregons is stui available and selling at the same price. Cl'BE BITTEB CLOSEXY SOLD IP rricea May Be at Bottom for Current Sea on Eggs Firm. Th hull.. . . ... i in. met was in Detter shape yesterday than for several days. Supplies were well cleaned up. especially of cubes. The idea prevails that bottom has been reached. Egg speculators, finding there was no likelihood of the market going lower soon, nave out more ireely for available supplies. The current quotation yesterday was IV cents. in a statement of local storage stocks in 1913, given in these columns yes terday, the total quantity should have read 40.0 cases, instead ot 400.000 case. The poultry market was well supplied and weak. There were sales of hens as low as 11 cents. Oressed meats were also weak, especia Uy veal. Sales of Old Oregon Wool. Late reports from o?ton note the sale of odd lots of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana wools, aggregating about 15,000 pounds, at private terms.'
