MOVE INDORSED BY M1CKLE Portland Manufacturers Not In cluded In Invitation JjlsV- But terfat Prices and Produce Exchange to Be Discussed. A tail for a meeting of Oregon creamery men, to be held at Salem on Wednesday of next week, has gone out. The call has been Issued by H. J. Faust, of this city, and the move la Indorsed by J. r: Mlckle. State Dairy and Food Commissioner. The notice, which has been Issued to every creamery manager outside of Portland, is as follows: "Some time ago It occurred to me that ty getting the creamery managers together and collectively discussing the many prob lems that confront us and make an effort to solve them much good can come to the outside, or country, creamery. 1 have discussed the matter with Mr. stickle and he urged me to Issue a call for such a meeting. At the butter-makers convention the matter was discussed with many of the creamery managers and met with approval. Professor R. R. Graves, of the Oregon Agricultural College, and Mr. A. Slaughter. president of the Butter Makers' Association, were heartily In ' fa vor of such a move, and we decided to call a meeting at the Marion Hotel, Salem, Or.. January IT it J P. M. "It Is urgently requested that your man ager or representative be present, as you cannot aafford to miss being represented. .and no creamery can have business of more Importance than this meeting will be, and our success depends upon the number rep resented. "The object of the meeting will be to dis cuss all problems for the betterment of our business, whether pertaining to markets, butterfat prices, cream grading, legislation or what not, and providing ways and means of accomplishing whatever we decide to take up. "We sincerely hope that yon will appre ciate the Importance of this meeting to you and that you will be In attendance." It has not been decided whether to or. ganize a permanent institution or to devote the meeting solely to a discussion of con ditions In the butter industry. There has long been a feeling that tl)e creameries out side of Portland have been handicapped In selling their product here and an effort may be made to briag the prices of butterfat and butter closer together. At te present time the outside creameries are forced to meet the competition of the city creameries In buying butterfat at high prices, yet their surplus product, when sold on this market, goes at a much lower quotation. It Is also understood that the Portland . Produce Exchange will be a subject of dis cusslan and an Investigation into Its work ings may be ordered to determine whether or not It Is being manipulated in the inter est of creameries and packers here. The matter of needed legislation for the protection of the creamery and dairy Inter ests of the state will also be taken up. HIGH BIDS FOB WHEAT IN COUNTRY Bluestem Is Bought in Walla Walla Dis trict at Equal to $1.72 Here. With the decline in the East. the Eastern demand for wheat was slower yesterday, yet buyers throughout the Northwest were as keen as ever for wheat, and strong prices were bid wherever there were sellers. The amount of wheat that changed hands waa not large. The prices bid throughout the country, net to farmers; were $1.60 for club, $1.52 for forty-fold and $1.55 for hlueatem. One fancy lot of bluestem In the Walla Walla district was bought at an f. o. b. price equal to $1.72 here, the highest price so far paid in the Northwest for wheat. At the Merchants Exchange January blue atem bids were 1 cent lower at $1.64, Feb ruary club and red were up 1 cent and other bids were unchanged. There was little change in the oats or barley situation. Bradstreets reports clearances this week of 8.000.000 bushels of wheat and, 1,824,000 bushels of corn, Broomhall's cable said: Wheat dull, easier tendency. Corn easier on larger Argentine shipments and decline In Argentine freights. Oats easier with some reselling. Oats shipments from Ar gentina none, but Chile shipping more freely and foreign arrivals larger. American offera Increasing with United States reserves large. "Argentine Some showers reported in cen ter and north and weather partly unsettled. Exportable surplus of new corn crop esti mated at 66,000.000 bushels. Freights de clined IS shillings since Tuesday. 'France Weather clear and warmer, late seeding being done: offerings larger. "Italy Weather fine. "India Weather favorable, shipments this week will be larger and offera more liberal. Crop prospects excellent. "Argentine shipment this week 1.114,000 bushels; week ago. 1,697.000; year ago, 867. 000."

Walter Davis and his three sons, farmers of Whitman County, today sold 100.000 bushels of wheat at a price averaging $1.50 a bushel. A heck for $150,000 In payment for the wheat w as deposited in a local National bank here. The grain, which is in three warehouses. Is only a part of the past two years' crops. The family refused $1.42 for last year's arop and also refused the $L50 price once before this year. LOCAL EGG MARKET 19 TTRArr.it Car of Storage Stock Is hlpped Out of City. The. egg market was firmer yesterday, Ith sales, case count, at . pif.ces ranging from S5 to S6H cents. Receipts were not large and cleaned up readily. A car of stor age eggs was shipped out of town. Storage eggs are not being used to any lajee ex tent here at the present time, and receipts of fresh are therefore not equal to the de mand. The butter market was steady, with extra rubes quoted at 85 cents. The cheese mar Vet is stiffening up. Poultry receipts were fairly large and the demand not - quite strong enough to take care of all the offerings. Dressed meats were steady and unchanged. HIGH PRICES CURB VEGETABLE SALES timall Movement in Potatoes and Onions on Local Market. The demand for Tegetables was reduced, owing to the high prices now prevailing. Front street dealers are asking 2H oents for best potatoes.- but sales ars very slow. Onions ars also dragging because of the ex treme quotation. Both these commodities re kept up in price by the strong outside demand. Good apple have bees sning well and local stocks at the moment sura light, but there Is plenty of reserve fruit to draw from.

MONEY FLOWS EAST New York Bank Reserves Are Further Strengthened. RUBBER BOND ISSUE SOLD Trading on Stock Exchange Is Re duced and- Fluctuations Are Narrow Tone of Market at Close Is Steady. NEW YORK. Jan. 12. The net result of today's orofessional stock maraet trauma was lnconsiuerable. speculative issues as usual comprising the bulk of the light turn over at irregular prices. Gams oi i uo mi most 3 points at the opening, due mainly to covering on the tenor of tne response of the entente allies, were soon effaced. The later dealings carried some issues back to best auotatlons of the morning, but Uthe movement lacked outside support, prices yielding sihfhlly before the cloae on mou erate pressure. Total sales of stocks amounted to 680.000 shares. Money movements of the week Indicate a further material strengthening of local bank reserves, the large gold imports being augmented by a return flow of currency from interior reserve centers. Continued ease of time and call accommodations re sulted chiefly from the small demand, the loan accounts of brokers being reduced to nominal proportions. That the year is likely to be one of large domestic financing was further evidenced by the announcement of the purchase by an international banking house of $60,000,000 first mortgage 6 per cent bonds of the United States Rubber Company, the proceeds to be used mainly for refunding purposes. Other large industrial companies as well as railroads are expected to engage in simi lar operations. Investment bonds, including internationals, were steady to strong, but speculative Issues were variable to lower. Total sales, par value. Sfi.4o0.0ou. United States bonus were unchanged on call.

Conse quence Must Be Borate. Property owners on TJnlon avenue and adjacent streets will be required to pay 75 per cent of the cost of con structing the Union-avenue viaduct. The City Council remained firm yes terday, after a lengthy aeDate witn property owners, on the proposition of reauiring them to pay lor tne tm nrovement, ifiasmuch as they agreed to pay the cost before the work was started and at a time when it was a que'stion whether the Interstate bridge approach would go on Union avenue or Vancouver avenue. Attorneys representing the property owners contended that the property owners did not understand the situa tion at the time they agreed to pay. Members of the Cocncil contended that they did understand It and agreed to nay the cost, so that union avenue in stead of Vancouver avenue would get the approach. Only ror tne agreement, it was said. Union avenue would not have been favored. The Portland. Railway, Light & Power Company donated part of the property required for the viaduct and its approaches and will pay 26 per cent of the cost of the work. The rest will be assessed against the property, Cattle Thief Sent to Reformatory. ASOTIX, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.)

' As sertions that the entente allies did not expect to purchase any more wheat at pres sent attracted chief Interest throughout the rest of the day.
