DOLLAR WHEAT DEAL
Country Price at Last Up to
Mark Set by Farmers.
LOCAL MARKET ADVANCES
lorty-fold bells at Exchange at
$1.03 to $1.07 Strong Demand
From East Oattt Sell In In
terior at $28, Coast Basis.
Tho local wheat market climbed up to a
fevei with country prtca yotnUy. For
ome time past this market ha been about
t centa below a parity with Interior values,
as there was no demand at this end of the
Una. Now when u demand has developed
the. market has adjusted itself to actual
prices at which wheat can be bought.
At the Merchants Exchange session 25,001
bushels were sold aa follows:
10,0C bushels January forty-fold $1.0S
iioo buthiM January xorty-loin . . . .
.(" bushels February forty-fold...
5.KH bushels February forty-fold...
1.07
1.07
These prices were 1 to 3 cents higher
for tho January delivery and 2 cents
Mr her for th February delivery than were
bid on batnrday, and ar the highest prices
at which forty-fold baa sold in the local
market this season. Bluestem bids were also
raised l1., lu 2 centa to tl.09 for both
months.
Bluestem has been steadily retting away
from the other varieties of wheat and Is
row 7 centa above club, whereas recently
the spread was only 2 to S cents. There Is
no scarcity of bluestem In the country, ac
cording to dealers Information, but it Is
ry strongly held. Bluestem deals have
been put through In the country at 1 t a
b.. the price for which farmers have been
holding, but not much wheat of any kind
has changed hand at Interior points lately.
Club did not show the strength of the
higher-priced wheat, and tb best bid of
91. 82 for spot waa $j cent less than was
offered on Saturday. Red wheat bids were
from to l!i cents over the close of Isst
week.
The East is taking wheat continuously in
tho Northwest and J likely to keep on buy
ing as long a the season last. Up to date
about 9.O00. 000 bushels of wheat and flour
have been worked for shipment East, the
wheat for mllMng and export account and
the flour for distribution la the East. Esti
mates by local gralumen of what is left
to sell in the country vary widely. Some
place the surplus over and above known
tonnage and Coast requirements at 10,000,-
oOO to U.OOO.OOO bushels, and others figure
it at 17.000,000 to l-0.OuO.0tK bushels. What
ever the surplus may bo it is likely that
the bulk of the sales from now on will be
for shipment by rail eastward. It Is also
clear there will bo a market for the entire
quantity If farmers will sell on the rising
scale of prices.
Tho oats market Is aIo stimulated by
demand from tho E-t. The purchasing Is
belived to be largely speculative, but at
any rate It Is steadily forcing prices upward.
At the local exchange bids were raised 2
t 60 cents to 9-6.7i. At tho same time
there was buying In the country ou the
Coast basis of 9-'S.
Terminal receipts In cars were reported

Reorganisation Flan Favorable to
Shareholder. Investment Stocks
r.der Restraint Bonds Irregalar.
NEW YORK. Jan. 17. Th. most sobs
worthy feature of today's variable market
was the absolute lack of public Interest.
Trading was active and broad during the
forenoon with a confusion of gains and
losses, but tapered off to less than nominal
proportions toward the close. Some specu
lative issues, including American Coal
products. International Nickel and United
States Industrial Alcohol ascended to quo
tations never before attained, this also be
ing true of Mercantile Marine securities. In
fact. Marines were the substantial issue of
the day. the common rising 14. points to
224. the preferred 3 to $5)4. and the cer
tificates to 101 .
There was no news to explain the con
tinued rise of the Marine Issues, but it is
believed- that th. details of the reorganiza
tion plan are well on toward completion, and
that th. shavoaoidera wtU rscelv. tar more
consideration than was thought likely a few I
weeks ago. .
Most of the war shares ruled slightly I
over last week s final prices and there was
a steady, though moderate, inquiry for
Central Leather, American Hide 4 Leather
preferred. Pullman Car, National Lead,
United Fruit and such utilities as Western
Uz.ion and People's Gaa.
United States Steel reflected pressor, of
th. same character as marked recent deal
ings In that stock, but Bethlehem Steel
was more active, closing at 4SS. a gain of
points. Rails displayed little animation
except toward the close, when minor shares
arose snarply. Total sales of stocks
amounted to 5S5.OO0 shares.
international stocks were again at a
marked depreciation in London, compared
with last Week's closing- orices. and addi
tional selling of the Pacifies and coppers
was reported for foreign account.
Marine 4fes were almost the sol. sourc
or strengtn to th. bond market, other aotlve
Issues manifesting aa uncertain trend. Total
sales of bonds, par Talus, were $4,0 70,000.
United States bonds war. unchanged on call.

TRADE OF HALF BILLION
l:oumo US BUSINESS DO.VE By
SWIFT A CO. I. YEAR.
Act Profits Equal is. 7 Per Cent oa
Stock: Outlook for 1916
m Good.
President U P. Swift, of Swift & Co.,
in an address to the stockholders at the
annual meeting held In Chicago, pointed
out that the gross business involved more
than 500,0u0.000. He said that the profit
for the year was equal to about -.S cents
on each dollar of sales. He also explained
that the outlook for 1916 was good.
The net profits for the year ended Sep
tember -'3, 1915, are placed tH 914,087,000,
equal to 18.7 pec cent on the $75.0uO,O0O
stock. This compares with earnings of
$9,410,000 in 1114, $9,250,000 in llii and
JS.l'OO.ouo in i'JJ. Dividends on stock in
the recent fiscal year required $0,437,500.
The remainder, $3,600,000, was added to
surplus, making surplus as of September 25
$45,&.O,0OO. President Swift said, in part:
"In 1015 we paid the stockraiser more for
cattle, while selling beef to the retailer at
a lower price. In 1014 we paid for live
cattle an average per 100 pounds of $7.00.
We bold our beef In tho principal cities In
1914 for $12.13 per hundredweight. In 1915
we paid for live cattle an average per
100 pounds $7.10. We sola our bwf in the
principal cities In 1915 for 12-4t$ per
hundredweight.
"We were able to do this because we
obtained more money from the sale of by
products. Compared with previous years,
the additional value realized from hides,
fertilizer, soap and other by-products dur
ing 1915 was greater than our entire profit
on the cattle.
"In 1915 profits on beef. Including by
products, have not been greater than the
average. For the year the profits are ap
proximately cent per pound.
"Our business for the fiscal year has
been satisfactory; our volume of sales has
been more than maintained, the total for
the year amounting to over $500,000,000. The
outlook for 1916 is good. The profit for
the year figures about 2.S cents on each
dollar of sales, and again demonstrates
the reasonable margin of profit of the
volume of business.
"I have Just returned from a trip to the
Pacific Coast, and believe the entire coun
try, Kast and West, is very prosperous.
'The wool market has reflected a very
active demand and high prices throughout '
the year, and in consequence of this, and
for other reasons,' sheep and lambs have
realised high average prices quite satisfac
tory to the producer.
"I want to reiterate that the packer,
mora than any othr Individual, wants to
see the producer succeed, and at the same
time, wants to see the consumer satisfied.
The packer doe not control either supply
or demand, and must in tho end he gov
erned by these elements."
