tained by Strauss & Co., who yesterday sold
the Manchuria at Gls. The buyer pays the
war insurance. The steamer will be on the
Bound neat week and will be loaded by the
Northern Grain & Warehouse Company.
The advance in cargo Quotations, how
ever. Is not keeping, pace with the rise in
ocean freights, as shown by the chartering
yesterday of the steamer Kish at 35s. Ex
porters figure that current local wheat quo
tations are out of line 8 or 4 cents, as
compared with values In England. . Still the
market here continues to advance.
Nearly all bids on the Merchants' Ex
change were raised yesterday. February
and March bluestem were up a cent and
half a cent respectively, the same deliveries
of fortyfold gained a cent and March club
advanced 2 cents, although February was
stationary. Fife was even stronger than
whita wheat, as the February delivery was
bid up Hi cents and March 2i cents. No
trading in wheat resulted, as holders were
bullish and demanded extreme price. The
airread between the bid and asked prices
was 1 to 2 cents for spot and X to 8 cents
tor futures. There was a large sale of club
wheat at walla Walla at -equal to
coast.
The only sale was 100 tons of February
eats at 136.75, an advance of a quarter over
-ehe previous day. April oats were up SO

Conserviitive estimates place the amount

the Big Bend country, in storage at Daven
port, Creston, Wilbur, Almira, Hartline and
Coulee City at close to COO. 000 bushels.
There Is little prospect of any considerable

yesterday averasod $1.32 at these points, a
price JO cents above, that ever before re

parts of the Big Bend, notably Sprague,

1I.1IKR SUGAR IS KXJKCTEI TODAY
Xastera Market Strong, With Transportation '
Becoming; iSeriou Problem.
Jobbers are looking for an advance in j
Coast sugar prices this morning. There was 1
a ro-point advance in raws In the East yes
terday and refined grades jn that section
nave been raised twice within a week.
The market on the whole is decidedly
firm. The pressure of the crop movement.
Instead of making i toe If felt, seems as far
off as ever, owing to the unseasonable rains
which have checked grinding in Cuba. But
at the present moment this is overshadowed
by the freight situation, which ia taking on
serious proportions.
A New York authority writes:
"To the misfortune of bad weather this
year must be added that of a serious scarcity
of steamer tonnage, it has recently been
stated by freight journals that the British
government has chartered an estimated ton
nage of 1.600,000 to transport troops and
supplies, while Germany's merchant fleet, ag
gregating about S.SGO.OOOMons, Is lying in
enforced Idleness in various porta through
out the world, and even American vessels
heretofore engaged in the Cuban and Porto
Hi can trades with the United States have
lately been diverted to more lucrative trans
atlantic business. In these circumstances it
la now estimated that from 40 per cent to
60 per cent of the world's total mercantile
tannage has been withdrawn for one reason
or another from the usual channels of trade,
from which it will be seen at a glance that
the plight of shippers of sugar is becoming
one of serious concern, and it is to be hoped
that ways and means will be found to tide
over thia emergency, as the solution of the
freight problem promises some difficulty
upon approach of the season of heaviest con
sumption, when the country always requires
to steadily draw large quantities from Cuba,"
STEADY MOV EM-EN T IN" HOP MARKET
This Season's Crop, Olds and Contracts Are
In Demand.
The Srath crop of 53 bales of hops at
Fherwood was bought yesterday by McNeil
Bros, at 11 cents. The same firm bought the
J 'nsen lot of 03 bales at Chehalls. also at
11 cents. Clute & Pernoll, of Grants Pass,
are reported to have sold 129 bales at 11
cents.
There Is demand for the new crop, as
well as spot hops. The F. S. Johnson Com
pany has closed a contract with John Heis
lir, of Gales Creek, for 40,000 pounds a year
for three years.
The demand for contracts In California is
also good. Sacramento dealers have large
orders at 10 H cents for one to three years,
nut are unable to fill them. Fraser. of Butte
County, sold 20O bales of It) 14s to Flint at
10 cents. The Casselman lot of 73 bales
of 1913s was bought by Wolf A Netter at 6
cents.
WOOL IS BOl'GHT BY GERMANY
Three MilUonr Pounds Said tn Be Booked
for Early Shipment.
The landing of the steamer Carolyn with
Its wool cargo at Bremen has lent encour
agement to other exporters and about 1.000.
pounds, all domestic grades, are said
by the New York Commercial to be booked
for early shipment. This wool was -bought
for German account seral weeks ago and
is reported to have been repacked in new
tas a uh such compactness and careful
ness as to add materially to the weight
of each bag.
England haa been Jn a number of "cor
ners" in connections; with the wool situation
since the first embargo was placed. Now it
appears as though she were in a new one.
By declaring wool contraband or blockading
the German porta effectually she will pre
vent her enemy from getting supplies wanted
says the New York paper. Thus she would
fulfill the ostensible purpose of all the em
bargoes. But she would then be in a posi
tion where it would be necessary to show
whether any ulterior purpose haa been in
mind, as suggested off and on by members
of the wool trade. Should the embargo be
left in force under the circumstances this
country would have reason to feel that Ger
many was not the only object against which
it was meant to militate.
Vegetables In From South.
Among the receipts of green produce yes
terday were a car of celery and a mixed
car of cabbage and cauliflower.
Arrivals otherwise were light, but the
street had a sufficient supply. Local hot
house lettuce is coming in and la -offering
at 75 .cents a box, but not much of it is
needed, as head lettuce now takes its place.
There was a steady demand for oranges
at firm prices and cheap apples moved well.
A shipment of Hawaiian pineapples was re
ceived and quoted unchanged at 7 cents.
Egg Market Is Weak.
c . A KfbtfSi cents case
count and 32 cents candled. Supplies did
not clean up.
The demand for poultry was slow and
chicken prices were weak and unchanged.
Ducks and geese sold fairly well. There was
a good demand for dressed meats.
No changes were reported In dairy produce

NEW YORK. Jan. 29. United States Steel
was again the pivot around which the stock
market revolved today. The common stock
was very extensively traded in, mostly at
40, its new minimum, a few thousand shares
being; sold at a fraction above that price.
Llauidation in that issue was on so larg a
scale as to represent 40 per cent of the
first hours' entire business. The preferred
stock also yielded part of its recent recovery.
New Haven was another weak issue, sell
ing off 41 points to 49, Its minimum, and
incidentally theMowest price in the history
of the company. The decline coincided with
rumors that the company s application to
issue preferred stock had been denied by the
Massachusetts authorities.
Canadian Pacific was heaviest of all the
high priced issues, losing over 5 points "on
persistent selling, much of which was
ascribed to European sources. The com
pany's statement of earnings for December,
indicating a net loss of over I2,S1X),0U. was
in itself regarded as sufficient cause for dis
couragement on the part of the holders of
the stock. Declines to lowest prices all
around occurred in the final hour, renewed
liauidation in Readinir. Union Pacific ana
other speculative favorites producing a weak
close. .
In addition to tha foreiitn offerings or
Canadian Pacific sales for European in
terests were probably the largest .of any
recent day. Abrogation of the rules pro
hibiting sales, except for cash, has resulted
in a heavy movement of our securities irom
abroad. This Is especially applicable to -bonds
of a speculative character.
Local banks are expected to make further
cash gains on the movement from the in
terior, but supplies of cash at all reserve
centers are now so abundant as to make
quoted rates virtually negligible. Bank
clearings showed a decrease irom tne pre
vious week, the loss being greater In the
Interior than at New York and New Eng
land points
London reported an expansion of business,
that market being assisted by the renewal
of .our cash restrictions. The London ex
change continued, however, to ignore the
successive price reductions In Steel here.

IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE IS STEADY
Evidences of Spring Buying Continue to
Multiply. .
NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Bradstreet's will
sav tomorrow :
The pendulum of trade continues to swing
in the direction of Improvement. Starting
at a very slow pace three weeks ago, it is
now movinar at a more satisiactory rate.
though even yet the movement Is but con
servatively Bteady. Almost everywhere the
disposition is to iook on tne Drignt nut oi
things. Evidence of Spring buying, espec
ially of textiles, continues to multiply, inc
labor situation, while far from normal. Is
such that idleness is decreasing. Winter
weather over a wide area has helped re
duce stocks of heavy goods. Money is
cheaper, commodity prices are higher, funds
are plentiful in the cereal growing regions.
Winter wheat is In good shape, copper is
higher and steel mill operations are being

WHEAT PRICE SAGS
Peace Rumors Have Unsettling
Effect at Chicago.
SHARP LOSSES AT CLOSE
Traders Regard Reaction as Natural
Sequence to Recent Extraord
inary Advances lx)ngs
Sell for Profits.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29. Rumors of peace
moves had an unsettling effect today oa the
wheat market. As a result there was a
nervous close at 1 cents to IX cents un
der last night. Other leading staples, too,
showed a loss, corn l cent to 1 hi cen";
oats cent and provisions 10 cents to
cents.
Strained tension In the wheat trade, owing
to the absence of late of any Important
reaction from the extraordinary advance In
prices, caused the market today to be more
than usually sensitive to anything resem
bling news favorable to the bear side. De
spite higher quotations at Liverpool and
Paris, a good deal of selling pressure to
day was put on the market. Many traders
took the view that the recent steep advance
had made something of a reaction a natural
thing to look for and that the new up
turns in Europe had merely reflected the
course of prices in America, Buyers here,
however, quickly took advantage of a break
and there was soon a rally. After opening
unchanged to a higher and then falling
to more than a cent under last night, the
market steadied with losses fully recovered.
Sags followed, due to peace talk and proiit
taklng by longs.
Corn strength dwindled rapidly when the
peace gossip attained headway. Indeed,
through the day corn kept tagging after
wheat.
Immense export sales of oats at the sea
board, said to amount to 1,500,000 bushels,
and an urgent cash demand here lifted oats
well above 60 cents a bushel. May. delivery.
The gains more than disappeared, however,
after other cereals turned down grade.
Sharply higher prices for hogs made pro
visions at first range higher. Active selling
by packers, thougn, and the late weakness
of grain formed a big handicap in the end.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Lamed s History of the World pre
sent probably the feature that will
attract the attention quickest and
hold it
As wonderful and praiseworthy as
the work Is from a literary standpoint.
It is not less worthy of commenda
tion from an artistic point of view.
Not one of th Illustrations has been
selected merely as an interesting or at
tractive picture. Earn of the more
than 150 has been chosen to illustrate
the text, to make it more emphatic,
and to make the narrative mora clear
and realistic. The portraits are au
thentic; the battle scenes and world
famous events depicted in colors and
half-tones are reproduced from the
greatest art galleries of the world.
8ome of the originals were sold at
fabulous figures and are held prlcclees
today. They will bear the test nf the
most critical examination of art con
noisseurs. This Is on nf the features
that puts Larned's History far above
any similar work ever offered. Kead
