TIIE 3IOItNITG OREGOXTAX,. SATURDAY, JANUARY G, 1917. 17 FEED WHEAT DRAGS Price Is Too High for General Use on Coast. SHIPMENTS SOUTH FALLOFF Tvocal Market for Milling Grain Steady in Face of Decline in East Volnme of Trade Is Reduced. Ttle wheat market was very steady yes terday In the faca of the decline In the Kast, but there was little doing In the way of business. Activity In the country district has subsided. The bulge early In the week brought out considerable selling by dealers In the interior, but when bids were later re duced the selling tapered off until yesterday markets at all points seemed lifeless. At the Merchants' Exchange, bids for t)luestem were the same as on Thursday, and forty-fold and club offers were 1 cent high er. Bids for red Russian were lowered 3 to 4 cents. - There was some demand on the Sound for Russian and bids at Seattle were cents over Portland, but here the feed wheat market is Inactive. The only' normal outlet la California, yet for the first half of the cereal year the total wheat ship ments from Portland to the south by water have been less than 700,000 bushels, or one third the quantity shipped in the corre sponding period of the preceding season. The demand has been checked by the hlg-h prices which make wheat a prohibitive feed for chicken-raisers. California poultrymen this Winter have been substituting Manchurlan corn, paddy rice and other articles for Korthern wheat. Bradstreefs estimated clearances this week at 6,503.000 bushels of wheat and 502.- f0 bushels of corn. Argentine shipments of wheat this week are 1, 697,000 bushels, against S.564.O0O bush- vis last week and 376,000 bushels last year. Broomhall cabled: "Liverpool wheat mar ket firm, demand Improved, arrivals mod erate. Millers appear well supplied. Corn firm, with good demand for spot. Spot 2 pence higher. American offers small. Oats firm, moderate arrivals, nothing shipped from Argentine this week. It Is confirmed that the Government has taken over all supplies of corn at yesterday's prices, Amer ican mixed January or February delivery fi:5 shillings. Seeding Late prospects not favorable. English country markets, 1 shil ling higher. India, weather fine." Barley and oats were firm in the local market. Not many oats are being offered in the country, eastern barley markets ad vanced again. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay.

Tendency of Commodity Prices Is Now Downward. For the first time in many weeks the pre vailing movements in the cash markets for the articles in most general consumption were In a downward direction, there being 40 declines In the past week In the 331 Quotations received by Dun's Review, as Against 29 advances. Moderate supplies of the better grades of butter, cheese and eggs maintained prices of those commodities, but the lower Quality dairy products were gen erally easy. The grain markets were erratic, but the movements in all cereals and flour were upward. Iron and arteel were very firm, without any Important alteration, but the minor metals, as a rule, were easy. Some weak ness has developed In hides, but the strength of leather was fully maintained. Quotations of provisions displayed a yielding tendency. Cotton made a substantial recovery from the recent low level, and numerous varieties of the finished goods were revised upward. Sharp declines were established in both raw and refined sugar, and some weakness ap peared. In naval stores. dressed, 2SQ2SC; ducks, 16317c; geese, 11 14c ' VEAL Fancy, 146 13c per pound.

Rallies at Close Occasioned by Ex tensive Short Covering Steel Ts ljeader In Speculation and Closes W ith IiOSS. NEW YORK. Jan. B. The market was again subjected almost entirely to the caprices of professional traders today, that faction availing ltslf of various develop ments and complications to depress prices of leading stocks from three to six points. Extensive short covering contributed to ir regular and for the most part normal rallies t the close. Following the usual custom, XJnlted fctaies teel was again the storm center, recording extreme decline of 2 points at lua-) nd a net loss of lH. Steel afain furnished a preponderant share of the day's business, far outstripping the combined dealings In coppers, rails and the active specialties. Rails were inclined to advance until eavy selling In other Quarters created gen- ral irregularity. Additional weakness in traction Issues fea- tmed the irregular and narrow bond, mar ket. Total sales, par value. $5,040,000. United States 3s advanced ifc per cent and Panama 3s 1 per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Eastern clothing. 3f9Tc: Valley No. 1. 90l82c.

The demand for eggs has naturally been checked by the decline in prices. Receipts are Increasing and several retailers were sellers on the market yesterday. A limited amount of business was done at 35 cents case count, and more at 34 cente. Late in the day eggs were offered by one seller at 33 cents. There was no satisfactory ship ping outlet. Egg rrfen do not believe the Spring lay has started at this early date and they look for a check to the decline In the near future. Butter was steady and unchanged. Re ceipts were fairly large, but a good demand prevented an accumulation. The cheese market was also steady. Live poultry cleaned up readily at the ruling high prices. Several shipments of dressed turkeys came In, but the Inquiry was light. Dressed meats were firm at unchanged prices. WOOL I'RICES ARE HOLDING STRONG Market In Good Shape in Spite of Lighter volume of Trading;. Aitnough wool trading at Boston was quieter In the past week. 225,000 pounds of territories were sold by one house. Other business reported In latest advices Included a substantial parcel of staple wool at 40 cents, estimated to be worth $1 scoured good-sized amount of New Mexican at DO to 95 csnts clean; also some "Wyoming and other clips, at a clean basis of $1 to $1.05. The quotations for staple wools are $1.03 to $1.10 for fine. $1 to $L02 for half-blood, 90c to 92o for three-eighths blood and 80c to 82c for quarter-blood. Clothing territory is quoted at 95 cents to $1 for choice fine snd 90 cents to 93 cents f or average fine and fine medium. Hardly any movement is possible in scoured territory wools, owing to the ex ceedingly small supplies available. The quotations are 00 cents to 05 cents for fine lots and SO'cents to 85 cents for average. DEJLiXD FOR APPLES IS LIGHTER Vegetables of All Kinds Firm, With Good Inquiry. Apple stocks are accumulating on the atreet. The demand since the holidays has been unusually light. Trade In bananas Is also reduced, as shown by the receipt of only three cars yesterday. Another ship ment of Japanese oranges came In. The demand for vegetables was good and prices generally were firm. A car of head lettuce arrived from the South. A shipment of Florida peppers was put on sale at 25 cents a pound. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

CHICAGO CLOSE UNSETTLED Europeans Said to Have Acquired Greater Part of Surplus Stock in This Country Tcac Might Cause 'Unloading. territory In the immediate vicinity of Aberdeen. There has been some talk of paving the 12 miles of road between Aberdeen and Montesano, and now that the Aberdeen district will have a big fund, this pavingr proposition probably will come, up for serious discission again. Wheat the 1917 apportionment is spent the. roads of this county shall have received a total of $242,937 since 1912 from the state road funds. CHICAQO. Jan. 5. Dread of extensive reselling by foreigners in the event of actna peace did a good deal today to bring scoot declines In the value of wheat. Closing prices were unsettled. lVe to 3ke net lower. with May at $1.80 41 1.81 and July at 1.4S4 tl.4Shi. Corn finished He off to V H e up, oats showing a setback of Tlc and provisions advanced 22c to 62c. Peara dominated the wbeat pit from t?ie start. Notwithstanding ttie evident urgency of foreign demand for supplies, the HUelt hood of new moves for a peace parley was receiving too general notice to allow specu lative buyers a chancer to develop eniiiusi iii u. In this connection goeslp that foreign interests already had acquired ownership of the creator part of the surplus stock In the United States led to much nervousness on the bull side, so much so that at one time prices dropped to nearly & cents under yesterday's latest figures. Corn showed stubborn resistance to selling pressure and at tlmea made considerable up turns In the face of the weakness in wheat. Export demand for corn was in evidence. Oats, unlike corn, reflected the wheat declines. Peace optimism helped to lift the provi sion market. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
