ward Barley Nominal
in Local Market.
Th wheat market was strong at all
Northwestern points yesterday. The demand
in the country was even keener thaa last
week and bids were advanced 1 to 2 cents.
There were offers of $1.51 and 91.52 net to
farmers for club, while bids for forty-fold
were 2 cents over club, and offers for blue
stem were 5 cents over. Not much selling
was announced.
At the Merchants Exchange wheat bids
averaged 2 cents higher than Saturday, with
$1.67 offered for bluestem and $1.61 for
olub.
The Eastern option markets were lower,
owing to lack of foreign buying. The day's
cables said:
"Wheat firm, disappointing shipments to
TJnlted Kingdom. . Corn firm with moderate
arrivals and cold weather. Oats firm with
cood demand for spot, arrivals light. Ar
gentine offers scare and dear. Flour firm
and unchanged.
."Argentine weather clear and warm;
further reports of deterioration In corn are
noted. Movement of all grain very light,
holders very firm and supplies moderate.
Export demand continues fair for wheat
and urgent for corn at present prices. All
export offers of wheat scarce and strongly
held.
"Canadian receipts liberal and American
supplies fair. Continental absorption liberal.
United Kingdom demand fair.
Oats continued firm in the local market
with $37 bid for February delivery. Barlej
was dull.
Terminal receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

IVIIEAT GOES EAST IX GONDOLA
Shipments Made in Perfect Condition In
Uncovered Car.
The difficulty in moving wheat eastward,
due to the car shortage, is being overcome
In a way by the use of tarpaulin covered
gondolas. The Louisville Courier says of
a shipment of wheat from the Northwest
to Louisville, just made by M. H. Ho user,
of this city;
"Mure than 38 tons of wheat were un
loaded at the Ballard & Ballard mills yes
terday after having, come all the way from
the state of Washington In a car without
a top, according to an announcement made
by R. L. McKellar, assistant freight traffic
manager of the Southern Hallway. The safe
arrival was an illustration of the devices
shippers are employing to circumvent the
general car shortage, whose Intensity
brought about a Nation-wide Investigation
by Interstate Commerce Commissioner C. C.
McChord In Louisville recently.
"The wheat came to Louisville in a New
"York, Chicago & St. Louis Railway gon
dola loaded with 603 sacks of wheat whose
total weight was 76,200 pounds. The car
was carried under a Great Northern bill of
lading, plated at Waterville, Wash., October
14. A through rate of 57.4 cents per 100
pounds was assessed. The wheat was covered
with a tarpaulin, and the billing carried an
item of $40 In the advances to cover the
cost of this tarpaulin. Ballard & Ballard
advised the Southern Railway Company that
the wheat arrived in perfect condition."
CANNED 31 ILK NOW AX TOP PRICE
Manufacturers Will Not Allow It to Get Out
of Ten-Cent Class.
The condensed milk market Is very firm.
but Jobbers do not Iook lor any further ad
, vance In domestic prices. Quotations are as
nih now as they can go and still leave
canned milk in the 10-cent class. The con
densers know the importance of holding th
home trade and are not disposed to do any
thing to kill It off, as it might be hard to
regain after the war is over and prices art
restored to a normal basis.
Export orders are coming In at t. o. b,
factory prices considerably above Jobbing
Quotations on this Coast.and these orders
are no doubt being accepted, but at the
same time the manufacturers are supply
lng Jobbers at a lower figure, so as to keep
canned milk in the market at a popular
price. However, the Jobbing trade Is not
getting milk In such quantities that It can
compete with the condensers for European
business.
EGGS TS DEMAND AND
HIGHER
Receipts of Fresh Ranch. Are Not Equal to
Local Requirements,
Egg prices are advancing faster now than
they declined just after the holidays. Toe
cold weather has stimulated the demand
and receipts are not equal to the trade's re
quirements. The main factor in strength
enlng tho market, however, appears to be
the reduction In storage holdings, which is
turning a larger number of buyers to the
fresh article. There were sales on tas
street at CTj to 3SH cents, case count, and
some houses were asking 39 cents. Street
candled were quoted at 40 cents.
There was also a firmer undertone to the
butter market, but the top quotation on
extra cube butter was 35 cents. Prime firsts
were quoted at 34 H cents and firsts at 334
t34 cents. Dairy butter was held at 29
cents. Cheese was firm and unchanged.
Poultry sold at last week's prices, but
receipts were not large nor was the demand
urgent. Dressed meats were also steady.
BETTER FEELING IN APPLE MARKET
Trade Is Inclined to Take Hold of Cood
Stock Vegetables Finn.
There la a better undertone in the appl
market. Low-jrade appws are still hard to
sell, but the trade la taking- hold of better
stock, and Indications point to m cleaning
up of supplies at country points. Prices are
no hljfher. but the trade looks ror some im
provement In this respect.
A' shipment of Japanese orsThges was re
ceived yesterday and one more lot Is
looked for.
Vegetables of all kinds continue strong.
Receipts yesterday Included one car each
of cauliflower, lettuce and celery, the lat
ter being quoted at S5.50 and the celery
and lettuce at 2.60.
There was no further change la th onion
ex potato markets.
WOOt, GROWERS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Higher Prices' Expected, Regardless of Ter
mination of War.
PENDLETON. Or.. Jan. 13. (Special.)
Eastern Oregon sheepmen, who returned to
day from the National convention held at
Salt Lake, are optimistic over the prospects
for 1917 wool prices. The prevailing opinion
Is that prices will be better than ever
whether the war in Europe Is brought to a
sudden closs or not.
good share of the Spring clip In Utah
Is reported to be sold at prices ranging from
SO to BS centg a pound for fine wool and
from SS to 38 cents for cross-bred. Some
Montana sheepmen report as high as 40
cents for fine wool.
It is said that very little Oregon wool
has been contracted for.
