' 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.

review:
"Floating supplies and stocks are com

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.

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

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

About 600 bales of California hops were

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.

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

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. United States
registered 2s and 4s aecltnea 'A. io ix p
cent, respectively, on call.

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.

BIRDS DESERVE FEEDING
ZOOLOGIST POINTS OUT THAT SONG
STERS EARS! FOOD.
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."
