FULL PRICES ARE PAID .Locally, Supplies Are Too Heavy for .Requirements and Sales Are Made at Board Ses ' felon at Reduction. Although lieat price were sharply r 4ucl on the local board yesterday, the cQuniry market maintained a cry firm tone. Bids from the Eait In fact, were better than on the preceding day. and buyers continued to offer full price to farm era. The demand for blueatem waa par ticularly keen and the beat prices of the ition were obtainable by sellers. Club held around the dollar mark: at Interior points, wall some deals were put through a cent or two better. Locally, pressure to sell carried price downward. Too much wheat has been broutfbt to tidewater for Coast Requirements. There is no California outlet at the values that bavo ben prevailing here, and if there was dmcnd transportation under prvsvnt conditions would be difficult. For that reason wheat is cheaper on the local docks than in the country by several cents. alea at the Merchants' Exchange session werfl as follows: -i f.0" bushels January forty fold $1.0$ j burheis F-bruary forty fold C.O'O bushels February Iiuian j.u The fort) fold sales were made at a de cline of 1 cent from the bid prices of Tuesday, while the Russian sale was at a drop of 2 cents. Bids elsewhere in the list ranged from cent to 3 cents under those of Tuesday. Brad struts estimates the world's visible whea; supply at 2oJ.lSl.Ooo bushels, against 2t3.171.OM bushels a year ago.

Reviewing the general wheat situation. Broom hail says in his International market review: "Floating supplies and stocks are com paratively lik'ht for sac tlnes, and this riuiuMMrs m usurp nun wu 4 i mi t c M heat supplies in all exporting countries are Tery large, but frleghta are dominating everything. North American supplies and market fluctuations continue to be the cen ter of intt-res The statistical situation generally appears very bearish, but there is no telling pressure anywhere, as Argen tine prices are out of line and Australian offers arc disappointingly moderate, not withstanding dear freight. The firm at titude displayed by growers In both of these countries Is causing apprehension, for It Is confirmed that both growers have harvested large crops of good quality. American sup plies are still wanted and Importers are paying hlt,h prices, and the demand will, unquestionably, continue until such time aa Argentina and Australia can ship freely, and fnder present conditions this possibility seems remote. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay. Frt'ond.

Territory wools are attracting more at tention in the East than of late. Of last week's turnover of about 6,000,000 pounds, at Boston, the larger part was domestic wools. One Boston house reported an ag gregate business of some 2.0O0.00O pounds of various grades. Other single houses have distributed liberal quantities. The business In . territory wool includes reported sales as follow s ; 500.000 pounds at private terms ; ".'iO.oOo pounds fine and fine medium cloth ing ou tho basis of 70 to 72 cents clean cost; about 170. 00O pounds original at 23 cents; .'.tt.OOO pounds original Montana at 294 cents; approximately 35.000 pounds ttarce-eiirhths-blood at U2 cents. .Scoured alues as reported by authorities In the market show a further strengthening. The list has been revised upward from the fi cures recently quoted to the following basis: Fine staple, 75 to 70 cents: half-blood staphs 7- to 73 cents; three-eighths-blood tup if. 7o cents; quarter-bleod staple. 07 to cs tents; fine clothing, 70 to 72 cents; fine medium clothing. 67 to 69 cents. Seller, of Texas wools have reaped con siderable benefit from the resumption of ac tivity. The movement has absorbed 7w.000 pounds or more of Texas wool. The reported sales of the week Involve 650.000 pounds at private terms, but understood to be mainly 12 months Texas, at 6$ to 70 cents clean; also 1OO.4J0O pounds eight months" on the eKan basis of :-s to U cents. HOI'S ACTIVE AND PRICES ADVANCING Buying Campaign Mill Oa in Three Coast state. There is no denying the strength of the bop market, aud with the demand greater than farmers' offerings, prices are tending upward. There is still a difference of opin ion In tho trade as to the cause of the sud den flurry, but the belief is growing that a xoed part of the buying has been specula tive. Tho Ixndon market Is firm and ad- ' vancing with stocks at that center low. Frits Etwart. of Sherwood, sold 126 bales to T. A. Idvesley & Co. at 12U cents. The same firm bought 127 bales from Frank Miner, of Forest Grove, at 11 U centa. The neuter lot of 60 bals and the Crab tree crop of 70 bales also at Forest Grove were bought br the Wolf Hop Company at 11 centa I n Western Wash In gt on, J ames f 'Incus purchased 15 bales from John Harms at 11 Mi cent. H. I. Hart bought the Ludwlg crop of 1K balea About 600 bales of California hops were bught during the day by Donovan, consist ing of tha MoCutchln Trop of 210- bales of Sonoma, at 11 cents; 82 bales of Mendocino from Ed Dutton at 10 cents. Farrier bO bales of Mendoclnos and 220 bales of Te bamas from Los Mollno Ranch at 10 cents. Some of these deals indicate an advance of fully 2 cents. MPPLY OF C.rK MOHAIR IS SHORT hammer Clip Is Cat About la Half by the DiwDthu There has been a fair Inquiry for mohali In the Boston market in the past week, ac cording to the Conunjtrvial Bulletin, and the sale of several hundred bales of Cape Sum mrr firsts Is reported at Si cents. Some other Cape hair, not quite so good, was sold at 33 cents. No business of any moment has been reported in domestic hair, but which Is not in very plentiful supply. A better demand is reported for the staple In Yorkshire and prices there have firmed Bp quite a bit. Last week 31 cents was paid for Cape firsts and Basutos have brought well ip around 27 cents. Advices from tho Cape Indicate a very serious outlook there for the coming Sum mer clip on account of the drouth, which is likely to reCuee the ciip from about 11.OO0 to possiMv uw bales, or about one-half. The Winter clip, which ha all been received in the market, amounts to about 4500 bales, compared with an ordinary clip of some 650O bale. Fruit Trad Is Quiet. 4 Among the vegetable receipts from the south yesterday a as a car of Southern. Cal ifornia jcauiiflower. which was put on at 12.50. The steamer today will bring an assortment of sprouts, artichokes, red cabbage, pars'y and similar vegetables. Traue in tUe fruic division continue quiet Receipts of Errs Are Small. Receipts of eggs from the country yes terday were very small and the market continued firm ou the street at 35 cents tor candled. . . . There were liberal arrivals of poultry, but everything cleaned up well at steady price. Iresscd meats were also steady. No changes were reported in dairy prod uct. Bank Ocarinas.

ENTIRE LIST SUFFERS Steel Loses Point on Largo Transac tions Kails Heavy In Final Hour Short Selling Helps. Along Decline. NEW YORK. Jan. 26. The trend of to day's cession must have been a source ot disappointment to those who hoped that the constructive factors, the resumption of the United States Steel common dividend and that corporation's remarkable state ment of earnings, would lift the market out 01 lis recent pessimistic mooo. blocks w strone at the outset, mainlv In consequence of extensive short covering, but before the noon hour prices receded, with & succession of irregular declines, which more than ef faced most Initial gains, in fact,, minimum quotations were lowest In many instances for weeks. Various theories were again offered to ex plain the market's failure to respond to good news. Further foreign liquidation was ac cepted as the chief obstacle, although do mestic developments, such as the threaten-d contest between the railroads and their em ployes, assumed considerable importance. Washington's refusal to accept Berlin's terms in the settlement of the Lusitania in cident also figured in the calculations of the trading element. United mates Steel was, of course, the foremost feature, opening with an offering of 15.0UO shares at S to 85. declining to S3M and closing at that price, a net loss of a point. Dealings in Steel were again large ly preponderant, exceeding the combined output of other leading issues. All sections of the list contributed to the Initial advance, with practically no losses, but before the end of the first hour realiz ing and short selling completely reversed the early order. Heaviness of the rails, which was most acute in the final hour, was the most disconcerting feature, Canadian Pa cific falling 5 to 16S, with 1 to 2 points de cline in other investment issues, while hlgn prlced specialties were 3 to 7 points lower. Among the few noteworthy exceptions to the lowering movement were the Mercantile Marine issues, the preferred rising 2 to 8JH and the 4V4 preferred certificates 1 to the new record of 10'JH- Transactions In Ma rines were so large as to convey the belief of the early announcement of tho reorgani zation plan. Bethlehem Steel fell 1714 to 456, Interna tional Nickel 13 "to 102. Cuban American Sugar 7 to 17. and Willys Overland Six to 212 in the feverish operations immediately preceding the close. Total sales of stocks amounted to 753,000 shares. . Except for tne strength or aianr.es, mo bond market was heavy. Total sales, par value, aggregated 4. 713,000.

GAINS SWEPT AWAY Heavy Profit-TaWng Upsets Chicago Wheat Market. PRICES AT CLOSE WEAK Realizing Sales Follow Report That Canada Has Ordered Movement of Immense Quantities of Commandeered Grain. . CHICAGO, Jan. 26. Heavy profit-taking by holders swept away in the wheat mar ket today notable gains which had resulted from bullish Liverpool dispatches and from adverse weather conditions. The close was weak, 4Sc net lower to HUo advance, with May $1.8654 and July $1.2654- Corn finished at c gain, oaU A a off to a shade up. and provisions unchanged to 13c lower. It was not until the last hour of the session that the big realising sales in wheat turned the market unmistakably downgrade, previous to that time a num ber of the leading bulls had steadfastly refused to unload. Word that the Canadian government had ordered three railroads to begin moving immense quantities of com mandeered wheat to the seaboard tended, apparently, to shake the confidence of hold ers here. New high-price records for the 1915 crop were made In the wheat market today, the fourth time in four successive days. Storms cutting down receipts in the Northwest remained a bullish factor. Corn and oats swayed with wheat. Weakness In the hog market lowered the value of provisions. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT, riripn TTiirh- Low. Close.

CsliromiS) Weed Seeds, Fly Larvae, Grubs, Etc Destroyed in Season. - , Birda Now Stan inc. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Jan 26. (Special.) Feeding the birds in snowy weather is onlv sauarinsr our accounts with the birds," says Professor S. F. Sykes. zoologist of the Oregon Agricultural College. "The few handfuls of grain thrown out for the birds during tne recent snow storm will bring the best returns of the year. Many a tittle bird-guardian, robin, bluebird, siskin, gold finch or junco, which came months ago to clean up the weed seeds of last season to catch the cutworms and leather jaskets lurking in the turnip or grass fields, was going about hun gry and with cold fe'et. Many of them also have perished with cold. 'An examination of the stomach contents of birds during an open Win ter has shown that they are at such a time entirely beneficial. In one robin s stomach were founa 210 March ny arvae. A China pheasant had eaten 673 larvae at a single meal. These srrubs resemble cutworms and are a serious pest on root crops, grass and alfalfa. Moreover, five juncos were found t'i have destroyed in a single morning 275 May weed seed, 101 wild crass seeds, and 301 pigweea seeas. Thus the luncos, together with the siskins and green-backed gold finches. make away with millions or noxious weed seeds in the course of an ordi nary Winter season." PERSONALMENTION. J. C.
