WHEA
Congestion at Northwestern
Points Is Relieved.
MAY CLEAN UP THIS MONTH
Sentiment in Market Is More Cheer
ful With Advance at Chicago.
Shipments From Tidewater
to East by Rail.
TTneat Is beginning to move In tha North
west In a more satisfactory way. Not only
re more cara available on most of the lines,
tut traffic conditions In other respects have
improved. The dealers are trying to pet
their purchases out of Washington before
taxes are due, and are making but little
effort to buy more wheat. At several points
the accumulation has been worked off. and ft
Is thought that the end of the month will
see practically all of the wheat, already
bought, on cars and shipped.
The relieving of the congestion In the East
Is returning cars to the West at a faster
rate and the roads anticipate they will have
tio serious trouble during the remainder of
the season. A report from New York says
of the freight situation:
"Railroad operating officials have the
freight situation well In hand and while the
movement of merchandise has not relaxed
It Is being handled more easily. The strin
gent embargo remedies applied by the roads
during the Winter have resulted In clearing
the New York terminals to a large degree
and the carriers are able to regulate the
amount of freight handled by the expedient
of refusing It at the point of origin. By
this means the warehouses and piers are
prevented from becoming more congested
and fewer cars are held back along the
tracks. It Is asserted. Statements by rail
road officials were that tho' congestion is
ellghtly less than a month ago and that the
- outlook for the next few weeks Is better."
Sentiment In the what market yesterday
was more cheerful than the day before, as
- there was reason to believe the decline at
Chicago had been 'checked by the, heavy ex
port buying. It was posslbel to sell wheat
here, whereas on Thursday no one wanted to
buy. Few bide were sent Into the country
and offerings by farmers were limited. At
the Merchants' Exchange the prices posted
were more In line with actual values than
those of the preceding day.
Small shipments of wheat are being made
from Portland by rail eastward for domestic
use. No export shipments are likely to leave
this city during the remainder of the season
exoept by water. A cargo of wheat is being
shipped froom the Sound this week, how
ever, going by rail to the Atlantic seaboard
to be exported to Europe.
Bradstreet's reDorts wheat nnnrta thla
k at S. 750.000 bushels and corn exports
at SC6.0OO bushels.
. Argentine wheat shipments this week are
S.SGO.OOl) bushels, against 2.44O.O0O bushels
last week and 3.013,000 bushels last year.
The remaining surplus of old crop wheat
in India is estimate at 20,000,000 bushels.
Terminal receipts, in cars, weer reported

D03XE5TIO SUGAR DKMAM) ACTIVE
fctocks In Kant Llftht and Market la Very
Strong.
The strength of the sugar situation is in
dicated by tho following trade report from
New York:
"Tho recent very active domestic demand
for refined strongly confirms the opinion
conicfsuntly prevailing: in certain quarters
for come time past that stocks throughout
this country had been allowed to dwindle
to a very low level. Despite the enforced
curtailment of output by those refineries
affected by tho strike, meltings at the three
Atlantic ports during the week amount to
00,000 tons, whereas the arrivals of raws
during same period were 1500 tons below
that figure.
That meltings should, have reached such
proportions when some of our largest re
fineries were practically idle by reason of
the strike appears quite significant, and
proves that the plants not involved in those
difficulties have been working at or very
r-early their maximum capacity; also that
owing to the recent large domestic orders, in
addition to rumored moderate sales for ex
port, meltings from now on should be at
the Summer rate of 60.000 to 70,000 tons
weekly, thereby precluding the possibility
of any accumulation of stocks at Atlantic
ports, and which today are 18.000 tons be
low those at corresponding date In 1915."
KCKLAP EVtPORTXXG PLAN OtTGGKSTED
KaMern Dealers Take Up Matter With
British Kmbatrfty.
As a result of a conference between three
of the leading factors In the Eastern burlap
trade and the head of the Textile Alliance,
Inc., an importing plan was adopted which
was submitted to the British Embassy at
Washington for approval. "While particulars
regarding the proposals made to facilitate
imports could not be obtained, it was be
lieved that the general scope of the arrange
ment suggested will be sanctioned by the
British authorities.
The opinion prevailing was that the de
lays resulting from the Imposition of the
embargo reported by Dundee manufacturers
will be very annoying, as goods that were
purchased in Great Britain recently may not
be forwarded for some time unless shipping
licenses were procured prior to tho time
notice was given that the granting of fur
ther licenses had been suspended.
The news that the war trade department
had refused to issue additional permits to
export burlap from the United Kingdom to
the United States caused some holders to
move up their quotations on spot and afloat
roods. Others were inclined to withdraw
their stood a from the market.
MARKET CONTDiCKS TO KALI.
bain Are Made- on Street at 19 and 20
Cents, Case Count.
Another decline was recorded in the local
ezg market yesterday as a result of in
creased receipts and inability of dealers
to t-lcan up. Sales were made in the fore
noon at 20 cents, case count, and in the
afternoon business was reported at 19 cents,
with more offered at the latter price.
The .poultry and dressed meat markets
were steady and unchanged, with the sup
ply and demand about even.
The butter market was quoted wkcr,
with some accumulation of top grade.
I air Trade lnFrult Market.
There was a fair demand for apples yes
terday, and oranges also sold moderately
elL Vegetable trad was fairly active. A
car of Imperial Valley head lettuce was
due. but it was anonnced It would not ar
rive before Monday. There was a tem
porary scarcity of cauliflower. Rhubarb Is
higher at Walla Walla and will be ad
vanced o 14 cents today. Spinach was
easier, at 00 cents to $1. The potato mar
Vet dragged and lower prices were quoted.

Pendleton Reports Sale of Only One Clip at
21 Cents.
PENDLETON, Or.. Feb. 25. (Special.)
Present indications are that the wool market
will be higher in Eastern Oregon this year
by several cents than last year. The wool
buyer is in the market several weeks earlier
this year than lust, and lively competition
is promised for the products of the Oregon
country before the grower must sell.
In the main. Eastern Oregon growers are
not anxious to sell, and are willing to wait
several weeks before committing themselves
to any price. it has been estimated that
the buyers will go to 25, cents for tho better
grades before the season "is over.
Tho cost of feeding and caring for the
sheep has been heavier than usual this year
The only sale reported so far was the
Pedro Brothers' clip, which was purchased
by Edwin Burke. The wool was bought on
the back at a reported price of 21 cents.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Slowly but stub
bornly, today's market recovered much of
the ground lost in the preceding sess'on,
when quoted vaiues suffered variable de
clines because ot alarm over political de
velopments in Washington.
Absence of pressure upon Anglo-French
bonds was another favorable factor, araa

inal, giving color to the belief that the ac
tivity and aepression or tae previous aays
were largely of professional or bearish
origin.
Yet another encouraging feature was
found in the moderate, but confidential buy.
insr of rails, a branch of the stock list
which has long" suffered from neglect. Coal
ers led the movement, presumably in conse
quence of the increasing belief that prevail
ing differences between miners and em
ploys are in process of adjustment.
Next to rails there was a steady inquiry
for metals at advances of a point or better.
American Smelting, for example, more than
regained Its quarterly dividend of 1 per cent.
War issues, petroleums. Marine preferred,
United Fruit and sugars, were better by
1 to 3 points, after an early period of vacil
lation.
American Woolen was the most active
stock, on its dividend declaration of 1 per

sulting mainly from profitable war con
tracts.

Buy! riff for Fall Delivery Under Way,
Money Is Plentiful and .Col
lections Are Good.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23. Bradstreets to
morrow will say:
Trade, as well as Industries, still moves
at a brisk pace, prices continue to ad
vance, deliveries of raw and finished ma
terials ar complained of as slow, railway
traffic Is congested, supplies of money are
plethoric, collections are good, and buyers
of some .lines, fearing Insufficient supplies
or still higher prices, have put out orders
for Fall delivery. In brief, most pro
ducing urits of the country are choked
with orders, and, instead or seeking busi
ness for far-off shipment, tho tendency is
to move more slowly in this respect.
There Is however, a disposition in parts
of the country to proceed with caution, to
ask If prices are not soarine too rapidly,
and to question the ability of purveyors to
obtain normal profits on final selling prices.
But this recnrrlnr note of doubtfulness
must be considered In conjunction with the
fact that consumption continues at an In
satiable rate, that Incomes from profit
sharing investments keep on rising, that
wares, as well as employment, ara rood
and that the consuming power of the public
has fceen greatly increased.

market the nervousness brought about by
the crisis "between Germany and the United
States. Quotations closed firm, le net
hisher, with May at $1.1S?; and July at
$1.13 76. Gains were scored, too, by all
other leading staples corn c to lc,

Although tho masmltude of the purchas
ing of wheat for Europe was not fully
understood until after the session was at
an end, the fact was well known that a
liberal total would be announced. As finally
given out, the aggregate was 2.500,000
bushels, making 5.000,000 bushels in the last
4S hours, exclusive of 330,000 barrels of
Canadian flour, equal to 1,300.000 bushels
of wheat.
Leadlnff traders who yesterday threw
wheat overboard rlcht and left became
persistent buyers today, especially whenever
tne market temporarily fell below yester
days minimum' fleures.
:orn sh'uved strength throurrnout tne
day. Receipts were light, and there was
some export inquiry at the seaboard.
Oats ' appeared to be principally gov.
erned by tho action of wheat and corn.
Word was received of export sales of 400,

Provisions moved up with pram and hogs.

BIG TIMBER DEAL IDE
VANCOUVER ISLAND TRACT OF 25,
000,000 FEET BOUGHT.
Mill Near Port Albernl Leaned for Ira-
mediate Operation Marketing
Plana Arc Iienim.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 25. (Special.)
One of the largest lumber deals made
recently in the Northwest was closed
today In Seattle when Howard A. Dent,
president of the Dent Lumber and
Shingle Company, and A. W. Melroy,
who has been associated with Mr. Dent
in several large timber deals, purchased
25,000,000 feet of standing timber at
Port Alberaf on Vancouver Island and
leased the Canadian Pacific Lumber
Company's big mill near Port Alberni
to begin immediate operations.
While the exact figures involved were
not disclosed by Mr. Dent, the lumber,
estimated at a conservative figure of
$1 per 1000 feet would aggregate
$250,000 exclusive of the leasing of the
Port Alberni mill with a capacity of
120,000 feet daily; and the logging con
tract, which has already been let by
Dent and Melroy.
Immediately on closing the deal, Mr.
Dent has begun preparations for the
marketing of the timber through his
yards at Anchorage, Alaska, and in
the Middle Western territory. It will
be moved, according to Mr. Dent, as
rapidly as it is cut and will all bo mar
keted before the close of the present
year.
The timber bought is in a virgin for
est near Port Alberni and includes
Douglas fir and some fedar.

people is primarily to lower thiH pro
duction cost. Owing to proximity to
the Portland market, hogs costing
cents should net tho grower at least
as good a profit as Eastern Oregon
hogs at a cent less.
In taking this action the railway
company is not posing as a philan
thropist., but realizes that the success
of its investment in transportation
this vicinity is dependent upon the
prosperity of the farmers.
