WHEAT TRADE WAITS
Market Is Too Uncertain for
Local Dealers.
TONE HERE TIS EASIER
Operators Are Disposed to Be Cau
tious in View of "Wild Fluctua
' tions in Eastern Markets.
Oats Bids Raised.
real wheat dealers -were entirely at ea
yesterday. The violent fluctuation at -Chicago,
reflecting the uncertainty as to what
Lloyd George had or would say of Ger
many's peace terms, and the collapse at the
close, after the market had reached laet
week's high-level, made the traders think
that caution was the only course to pursue.
As tar as the local market was concerned,
wtjlle the feeling- was easier, there, was no
material change from the day before. Mon
day's speculative bids for bluestem were not
repeated and all offers were he same as
noater'on Saturday, with sellers asking as
much as heretofore: Until the Eastern mar-.L HAY Producers- prices: TiTnotfcy. East

Broorahall cabled: "Liverpool dull - but

TCRKEYS
AT GOOD PRICES
ut-of-Town
Bnyers Pay
29 Cents for
Choice Stock.
If the city demand for Christmas turkeys
Is as good as &ie out-of-town Inquiry, prices
wlrl be decidedly higher than prevailed dur
ing the Thanksgiving season. Bales were
made yesterday on shipping account at 29
cents and the orders took care of a large
part of the early receipts. The local mar
ket will opan today, and if the arrivals
are. as small as some dealers believe they
win' be, a firm market can be looked for.
There was a good tradw In live poultry of
all descriptions and prices were firm. Dressed
meats were also- firm and veal was quoted
higher.
. The egg market was much steadier, with
a better local demand and improved out
side orders. "While a few sales were re
ported at as low as 84 cents, other deal
ers were enabled to move their stocks at
85 and 36 cents.
Butter was half a cent lower on the street,
at G34 cents for extras. At this price the
surplus was cleaned up, but It took out-of-town
buyers to do It.
The cheese market was steady and prices
ere not likely to be chaisged before the first
of the year.
GOOD
HOPS
ARE
IN
DEMAND
Poorer Grades Neglected In All Pacific Coast
Markets.
There Is a steady demand In the Coast
hop markets and a place will probably oe
found for all the good hops here, but the
lower grades are not finding favor: The sale
of the Lee Loy crop of 209 bales at Wood
burn at 8V4 cents- to F. S. Johnson was
reported yesterday. "
The Brewers' Bulletin says of the brewery
trade:
"Hop trade with brewers continues dila
tory and devoid of interest. Dealers do not
figure on much business until after the
holidays, and prices to brewers remain nom
inally unchanged In the absence of buying
Interest-" ' '
Notwithstanding the British embargo
against hops, 1083 cwt, of hop from the
United States and 24S5 cwt. from other
countries, were imported into Great Britain
during tho months of September and Octo
ber last. Exports for the same period were
1503 cwt.. leaving net imports of 2065 cwt..
as against net imports of 14,049 cwt. for the
corresponding period one year ago, and 5867
cwl two years ago.
AUSTRALIAN' BUTTER SAVES MARKET
Britain Now Drawing Supplies From Her
Colonies.
Only the fact that Great Britain Is at
present drawing supplies of butter from
Australia prevents her coming into this
country and buying up a good portion of the
available supply. Advices just received by
the Eastern trade told of two full cargoes
of butter that had been sent forward from
Australasia, but of these one had already
bA torpedoed. - Mall advices stated that the
government would not allow exports this
year beyond the requirements of home con
sumption, as had been the case in the past
three years, when Australia had finally been
compelled to import from America to re
plenish her depleted supplies. .
As to production, this has been the best
year since 1911, but the prices prevailing
were equivalent to 200 shillings laid down
in London or Liverpool. It is understood that
the decline In the American market has
made It possible to place American . butter
In those markets at about 195 shillings, so
that there should. In the natural course of
business, be a demand for American butter.
BEEDLESS LEMON IS INTRODUCED
Southern California Successfully Grows
Canary Island Fruit.
The seedless lemon will be the next Cali
fornia candidate for popular favor. Sam
ples of the first crop of Canary Island
seedless lemons grown near Fullerton, Cal.,
were sent last week for display at the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The new
"native product" will attract considerable
Rational" attention. An English sea captain
. brought in the first two trees and plaiued
them in a little valley In Ventura County.
The one tree which' finally survived was
frozen out four years ago. Several trees,
however, have been budded from this tree
and these are owned by a grower near Ful
lertorL These are the only specimens of the
seedless variety in the United States.
The most pronounced feature of xbe Canary
Island lemon la Its smooth skin, which is no
thicker than a sheet of thin paper. The
skin is filled with cells of Juice having a
' delicious acid flavor.
FANCX RED APPLES ARE IN DEMAND
Cheaper Grades Also Moving- Better for
Holiday Trade.
The demand for apples "has "Improved
: during the past' two days. Sales are prin
cipally of the cheaper grades, but ' buyers
ore also inquiring for fancy red stock, which
t not plentiful on the street.
Another large shipment of Japanese or
anges arrived yesterday. California navels
are movirfer freely at steady prices.
A car of Los Angeles cauliflower was re
ceived and quoted at 2. The street was
bare of .sweety potatoes, but a car is due
Sotherlln Yards Completed.
SUTHERL1N, Or.. Dee. 19. (Special.)
The. new Southern Pacific stock yards, con-
structlon of which was commenced several
weeks ago, are now complete and the first
carload of hogs was shipped out today by
A. Wegner. Within the last four weeks
Wegner c Culver have sent out four cars
of hogs and cattle, and several additional
rar lots of cattle will be shipped in a few
days. Approximately lu.OOO pounds of tur
keys were marketed from here during the
Thanksgiving season and many will be

MARKET COURSE REVERSED
First Response to British Premier's
Address "Is Sweeping Advance,
Followed Almost Immediately
by Reversal Steel Active.
NEW. YORK, Dec. 18. The stock mar
ket's Initial response to the address of the
British Premier, defining the attitude 01
his government toward Germany's proposal
of peace negotiations, was a sweeping ad
vance of 2 to 5 points in prominent -issues,
followed almost immediately by a reversal
of as much- tr more.
On the setback, which was popularly at
tributed to a combination of profit-taking.
short selling and liquidation by bewildered
investors, quotations fell In many instances
to within hailing distance of last week's
lowest levels. In fact sonTe of the more
speculative shares, notably Utah Copper.
Central Leather, some of the motors ana
their subsidiaries, and Atlantic. Gulf & West
Indies, established new mlnlmums for the
current downward movement.
Ralls sgaln resisted pressure, though less
active than last week, a ad finished the ses
sion at variable but net gains.
United States Steel furnished more than
Its usual quota to the day's operations, the
turnover in that stock approximating 670,000
shares, or almost one-third of the whole.
This exceeded by more than tenfold the of
ferings of any other issue. Total sales,'
1.75O.O00 shares. -J
Such constructive developments, as the
declaration of an initial dividend on Republic
Iron ee Steel common', receipt of another
large Installment of British gold from Can
ada, and renewal of inquiries for steel and
coppers were ignored in the more exciting
incidents of the day. .
Aside from another (hading of Interna
tional Issues the bond market failed in any
marked essential 'to reflect the stock mar

BUSH TO BEAR SIDE
Swift Advance in Wheat Starts
.Heavy Selling.
ALL OF GAIN IS LOST
Wide Fluctuation Are Based on Chi
cago Traders' Interpretations of
Lloyd George's Speech Xo
Support Is Shovpi at Decline.
CHICAGO, Dec 19. After a akyrocket
ascent of i cents today, wheat prices fell
T cents and closed in a state of semi
collapse at a range varying wildly from
o under yesterday's finish to Tie net ad
vance, with May at $1.64 to $1.65 and
July at $1.38 to $1.88. The rise wss
due to a general impression tnat ui.
Britain had rejected outright the -German
overtures for peace. Corn lost le to lc
net. oats S'.iC to c and provlsMms 2e
tfi 15 cents. -
At the outset and for about an hour and
a half later, the trade had no definite
word as to tha nature of the British Pre
mier's speech. Then came brief . but cir
cumstantial reports that Lloyd George hsd
said the war would not be abandoned until
Great Britain's object had been accom
plished. Boon after this and other Inore
detailed confirmatory dispatches, the.' mar
ket bounded upward about 4 cents in short
order on top of an earlier rise of 3 cents
or more- -.
Selling that grew suddenly tnto something
like a landslide took place whan the wheat
market had .approached to within measure
able distance of the prices ruling a week ago
berore the announcement of the German
offer. -
Rushes to realize profits had much to do
with the general unloading and the ensuing
declines, but the stantpede to the bear side
seemed to derive chief Impetus from
what purported to be London dispatches ss
sertlng that Lloyd George's address had
left the door ajar for Germany provided
speclfla terms were ntmed. No aggressive
support was forthcoming In the sudden
confusion that followed, and tha close found
the stampede only checked In part at about
na" a cent tip xrom tne oottom quota
tions of the day.
Corn swayed almost wholly as a result
of the changes in the wheat market.
Oat followed other grains and showed no
sign of independence. Trade was nrm 1
Liberal receipts of hogs made provisions
average lower. Speculators who were watch
ing the European situation seemed for the
time being to have transferred their trade
to tne wheat pit.

CUT IN RATES IS LIKELY
Railway Officials Expect Concession
' to Education Association.
Railroad officials of Portland, in
charge of passenger traffic, give It as
their opinions that there will be no
hitch In bringing the annual conven
tion of the National Education Associa
tion to Portland on account of a re
fusal to grant reduced rates, the only
thing that might block .the plan to
bring the teachers here.
It is felt certain that a rate satis
factory .to all and which will prove
sufficiently attractive to bring a very
large part of the membership of the
Association, will be given.
The rate for the convention will be
decided by the Transcontinental Pas
senger Association, which will meet
lr Chicago. February 7.
