Mark of Season Strong East-
ern Demand fdr Milling
Oats Is on XTpgrade.
All grains were strong- In the local mar
ket yesterday. The greatest strength was
shown by barley !a the Paclflo Coast mar
kets. Prices her were more or less nom
inal, as there was but little offering In this
section, but In the country the barley mar
ket was excited. Brewing barley sold In
Eastern Washington during the day at
$40.50 f. o. b., according' to a phone message
which stated that 1000 tons were sold at
that price to the Northern Grain fc Ware
house Company. This firm In the latter part
of last week paid f 40 at Walla Walla for
a large quantity.
. The barley market at San FYanrfseo yes
terday touched the highest point ever reg
istered there, $2.40 a cental. There were
-reports that a big short Interest tn Cali
fornia has been caught, as the state Is said
to be sold out.
Oats scored another half-dollar advance
n the local board, $36.25 being bid for
January and $36.50 for February delivery.
Eastern orders for milling wheat came
through stronger. Blueetem bids at the ex
change were advanced 2 to S cents and
are now within 5 cents of the highest point
of the season, with very good prospect of
surpassing the record. Offers for red wheat
were raised 1 to 2 cents. Other wheat bids
were unchanged from Saturday.
TBroomhairs cable said. "Supplies Increas
ing. Piatt offers firm. American offers well
sustained; world's shipments larger; be
lieved American shipments will soon ln
' orease. Wheat export offers light and firmly
held. Manltobas and winters are needed
and difficult to purchase. Stocks here de
creasing notwithstanding Increased arrivals
as consumption Is liberal and millers' sup
plies moderate. India and Australia holding
firm."
The Argentine crop Is estimated at 96,000.
000 bushels of wheat, with an exportable
surplus of 22,000.000 bushels.
Terminal receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants' Exchange as follows:
Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay
$1.7C2- and for extra fancy large potatoes
$2.25 was asked. It was difficult to get
even the 2-cent quotation. Onions were
higher at 4 hi cents. Jobbing price.
A car of celery arrived and was offered
higher at $5.25 5.50. The latter price may
be general today. Lettuce was scarce and
firm at $2.25i50. Cauliflower, a car of
which came In from the south, was put on
sale at $2,25. Oregon sprouts were available

Big Falling Off in American Visible
Supply Is Announced Food
Sliortage In Europe Grows
More Acute Corn Higher.
CHICAGO. Jan. 8. Highest prices for
what since the American Civil War ac
companied announcement today of a big
shrinkage in the domestic supply, while
European food shortage appeared to be
growing more acute. No. 2 red Winter
wheat, a standard contract grade, com
manded $2 a bushel spot cash, fulfilling at
last prophecies that were treated with de
rision when the trans-Atlantic hostilities
first broke out. After a notable display of
activity as well as strength, the market
closed unsettled at the same as Saturday s
finish to 3?ic higher, with May options
81.88H to $1.8S and July 81.63H to
$1.53Mi. Other leading staples all showed
net gains corn to c, oats c to lc
and provisions 10ii)12',c to 75 cents.
Despite heavy profit-taking by holders.
the greater part of the day's bulge in wheat
values remained in rorce at the eno oi me
session. From the outset the fact had been
apparent thaX the weekly total of the United
States visible supply would exhibit a de
cided falling off, and there was no sur
prise when in the final hour the aggregate
was found to have dwindled more than '-,-
600, 000 bushels, leaving the stock about 13.
000,000 bushels under the amount available
at the corresponding time last year.
Corn, like wheat, rose to the nignest
prices since the Civil War. May delivery
of corn selling at 81.0OH a bushel.
Oats merely reflected the strength of otner
cereals.
Provisions advanced sharply on account oi
enlarged commission-house buying.

SHARP ADVANCE IN" OXION MARKET
Growers Now Selling on $4 Basis, and
Price May Go Higher.
The onion market scored & rapid advance
st the openirg of the week. Saturday the
Confederated Onion Growers' Association
price stood at $3.10 a sack. Yesterday
morning salei were made at $3.50 and in the
afternoon the price had advanced on trans
actions to $4.
Lightness of stocks on the Coast and 1
strong shipping demand are responsible for
the bulge. There are only 110 cars left un
soia in Oregon, and at the rate they are
going out now the stock will be cleaned up
before March 1. California has 150 cars in
storage. This total of 250 cars is barely
equal to the normal consumption on the
Paclflo Coast during the remainder of the
season, yet a part of the supply will be
shipped to Eastern markets, where prices
are higher and the scarcity even greater
than In the West. Further advances in
prices may therefore te expectd.
Onion prices do not often get as high as at
present, yet the current $4 quotation is by
'no means the record for this market. Since
the formation of the association, growers
have received as high as $4.50, and a year
or two before the association was organ
lsed there was a $6 market. Local Jobbers
recall a period a dozen yemrs or more ago
when they paid growers $S a sack for Ore.
gon onions, and for a brief period during
the Spring months, when the supply 1
nearly exhausted, a $10 price prevailed at
country points.

sionals List Is Steadier in
Final Hoar.
NEW TORK, Jan. S. Tha main feature
of today's stock market was its consistent
dullness, dealings barely reaching 600.000
shares.- the smallest total of any full session
for many weeks. Virtually all the trading
emanated from professional sources, and
far as was Indicated by the movement of
prices, that factor was more or less at sea.
There was considerable discussion respect
ing business conditions and prospects as sug
gested by advices over the week-end and the
note of caution sounded by the chief exec
utive of the United States Steel Corpo
ration was reflected In the uncertain trend
of Industrial stocks. The Investigation now
proceeding at Washington excited little at
tention. except in ipecuiauvt circles.
From Its flrnv opening the list soon began
droop and by the end of the first hour
most leaders, Including initea fctates &reei,
were down 1 to 2 points. More steadiness
was shown in the last hour, when fateel made
up all Its losses.
