THE MORNING OREGOyiAS. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 101 fi. BUTTER PRICES GUT Local Market Weakened by Slumps Elsewhere. FOUR-CENT DROP TODAY California Falls to Point Mlierc Invasion of This City Could Ifnve Born Accomplished at Old Schedule of Values. The butter market hag undergone n re vision more extensive than im usually the cmse Prlcea put out on city creamery prod vet yesterday were 1 cent undpr thnnft of ilast week, and today there will be a fur ther cut of 4 cents. This will put the Job Itnf prlco of the best city ceramery prints At 2D cents, with lower grades at the usual differential. A leading outside creamery man announces that his wholesale price to- lay will be 25. cents for prints. Butter fat buying; prices have been reduced to 27 cents Tor top grade. The sudden weakness here was brought about by the slumps In the California and Puget Sound markets. Pan Francisco dropped to 25 cents yesterday, which means that California butter can be landed here at 27 cents at tha outside. But for the action taken by Portland manufacturers. California Gutter would be unloaded here In quantity and prices would have to come down anyway. To forestall the entry of Southern butter into this market, the deep cut was made. At Seattle a 5-ccnt drop was registered, placing that market on a 30-cent basis. Country creamery cubes are accumulating here with the demand blow arlvals. -Win; AT SHIPMENTS ARE STILL HEAVY Thirteen and Half Million IMnpatched to Kurope in Past "Week.

J'OCB-CENT DROP IV WHEAT PRICES Xocml Values Co Lower With Mump at Chi cago. , The local wheat market dropped 4 cents yesterday in response to the latest slump at Chicago. There was no business locally, and country advices said nothing was doing there. There was no demand and at the Mma time no sellers in the interior. Portland grain men think that the de cline at Chicago has gone far enough. They re not looking for any decided reaction, vet they believe that prices have got down very near to bottom. The fact that cash jtrlces In the East dropped only 1 oent shows the speculative character of the fall In the Chicago option market. Liverpool broke 5 -ents yesterday, but it was the first de cline In a week In spite of a 15-cont tumble an Chicago prices in that period. Sales posted at the Merchants Exchange esterday were 100 tons of February bran t and 100 tons of March bran at 121.25 Terminal receipts in cars were reported hy the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portla'd.

Boston dealers have contracted for wool ' in Montana at prices 2 cents or more above the coat of last year. The Smith clip, In 4'entral Montana, consisting of about 159,000 3'ounds, was bought at 27 cents, and the Big Timber clip, of 00,000 pounds, was signed up at 26 cents. There has been further contracting in Southern Utah, where about e.OOO.OOO pounds have been taken to date. In Nevada buyers are offering 21 to 22 cents, which is equal to 70 cents or more scoured for the heavy shrinkage of wools. Shearing has begun in Southern Cali fornia, as well as Arizona, but the high limits of growers so far have held East ern buyers off. The local buyers there haw done a little contracting. Eastern operators are in the Arizona market, but have found the ideas of growers concern ing values very stiff. The best clips are held for 30 cents, or 5 to 6 cents above the average of opening prices last season. The circumstances of flna or half-blooded clips making the hulk of the contracting Is due to the availability of r.0,000 balea of New Zealand crossbreds this year, ow ing to which it Is unnecessary for buyers to seek the medium domestic clips with the avidity that they showed for them a jcar ago. JHillTEEN'-CFNT Eti. MARKET HERE I.nral Prices lower With Increasing Receipts From Country. The egg market underwent a further fie ri. nc with the opening of the week. Sev ern! large lots changed hands at 18 cants, case count, and more were offered at this 1 rice. Small lots were taken at 18 cents. Lccelpts were liberal and only one small outside order was reported. Poultry receipts were light and the market -s firm at faturdny's quotation. Pressed lppats were steady and unchanged. Vegetable From Imperial Valley, A car of Imperial Valley head lettuce was received yesterday. It was of fine quality and was put on sale at 13.25 a crate.

ENTIRE SHARE LIST HEAVY Shorts Accelerate Decline by Ag gressive Bear Tactics; Marked Improvement In Final Hour of Trading In Wall Street. KEW YORK. Feb. 28. The foreign situa tion east us shadow over today's feverish market. Liquidation was insistent and the short interest accelerated the decline by a resumption of its recent aggressive tactics. Shares of the war groups and other special ties, which are wont to follow the lead of those lasues, recorded extreme losses of 3 to fi points, while seasoned or investment shares yielded to 'J points. There was marked improvement In the final hour. Vet another unsettling feature was found in the renewal of heavy selling of Anglo French 5s. which fell to a new minimum of 03 . There were a few neutralizing develop ments, such aa additional excellent railway returns for January and remarkable earn ings of several of the leading concerns en Kaped In the fulfillment of war contracts. These were completely ignored, however, in tho sterner Issues of the day. Almost the sole element of strength was furnished by Reading, that stock showing an extreme gain of 2V6 points at 82. The familiar story of an early distribution of Reading's "hiiiden assets,'.' which has served its purpose In the past, gained currency, but confirmation was lacking in authoritative Quarters. Total sales of stocks amounted to 805,000 shares. With the increase of $1,430,000 In January operating revenues. Northern Pacific pre sented quite the best statement of any road in its territory for that period.

TONE AT CLOSE EXCITED Collapse Due to Germany's Refusal to Change Her Submarine Pol Icy IiiYerpool Values Are Also Iiower. CHICAGO, Feb. 28. Germany's refusal to alter or delay the plan to attack without warning any armed ship of her enemies brought about a fresh collapse today In the value of wheat. Prices fell 5c a bushel, and closed excited at 4c net decline, with May at $1.09 and July at ll.OO'.i. Corn lost 3Vc to 3c and oats l'.-jc to l?sl?4c. In provisions, the outcome varied from un changed figures to 35c down. Throwing away holdings of wheat began aftnost as soon as the market opened. Some of the strongest interests in the wheat trade attempted to stem at the outset the down ward course of the market. The market was bearishly affected also by reports and in a position to cause serious disturbance to commerce. Lower prices at Liverpool tended further to handicap the bulls. Corn suffered a heavy setback with wheat The fact that receipts here were email failed to act as a check. Oats were, partly sustained by a moderate shipping demand. Pork and ribs gave way with cereals, but lard remained firm. Exports of lard in creased 3,000,000 pounds and bacon 14.000, 000 pounds, as compared with a year ago. Leading futures ranged as follows: "WHEAT. Ooen. High. Low. Close. May $1.12Ti fl-13 ?1.08tt JUS July. no i.ii J-"" CORN. May 75 Ti .76 .73 -T3 .76 .72 .72 July "ji OATS.

Transportation Experts Think Efforts of "lVahinton State to Postpone Date Will Fall. Although the Washington State Pub lic Sen-ice Commision has inaugurated a campaign to have the Interstate Com merce Commission prtpone its hear ing on lumber rates to Idaho and Utah, set to be -held in Portland. March 16, it is not believed by lumbermen here that the move' will be successful. Late Saturday night the Washington Commission telegraphed the Washing ton representatives in Congress, urg ing them to use every effort to arrange for the postponement, pending the in tervention of the Commission -with an additional petition, asking that Wash ington millmen be granted the same reduction on lumber rates that is asked in the petition from Oregon, which is awaiting the hearing. The petition from Oregon, presented by the Eastern & Western Lumber Company and the Inman-Poulsen Com pany will, if granted, give Portland an advantage of rates considerably lower to Idaho and Utah than the rates from the Willamette Valley and from the Washington lumber districts. After ,,nmo-ino- ,rtf the Southern' Pacific and the Union Pacific, the divergent development oi trariiu over ino iwu lines brought about an equalization of lumber rates to practically all points on the Coast, and it Is to restore to Portland's district the advantage held by her prior to that time that the petition has been brought.
