Serious Break in Market
Expected by Dealers.
Is
I than for several days put and offers to sell t
by the country were more numerous. City
buyers, anticipating a break, reduced their
purchases, and receipts did not entirely
clean up. The larger part of the sales were
reported at 4.) cents. The course of the
market during- the next few days will de
pend entirely on the weather.
Butter was firm and extras sold at half a
cent advance. Cheese was firm and un
changed. Poultry receipts were not large, and with
a fair demand prices held steady Xressed
meats were firm.

j hide market, which has been In an
uncertain condition for several weeks past.
gives signs of breaking sharply. No one
looks for cheap hides, but prices are so high
now that it will not take much to bring
the market down from its extreme level.
The demand has been steadily subsiding
recently and at the moment dealers find it
impossible to make sales of any kind to
the East. For that reason they have with'
drawn from the market as buyers until the
situation clears or the market settles on
lower and marketable basis.
The hide prices now quoted are, there
fore, nominal, but offers are still out for '
calfskins, though at a lower figure. 27 cents
being as much as country skins will bring.
Kip Is quoted at 18 cents.
The latest disturbing feature in the East
was the Importation of a cargo of Russian
calfskins, the first to arrive since the early
days of the war. An Eastern trade report
says of the shipment:
"One of the most interesting happenings
In the trade of late to upper leather tan
ners was a large arrival of Russian dry
calfskins, which was the first cargo of these
skins to reach this country since the early
days of the war, when the few vessels
afloat after hostilities began reached Cnlted
Etates ports. Bhortly after the opening
of the war Russia announced an embargo
on all exports of hides and skins and until
recently all efforts to obtain shipping per
mits have been unsuccessful. The arrival of
Russian calfskins i the steamship Vologda
from Archangel consisted of 5704 bales of
dried skins, and as these bales generally
average about 120 to each bale. It is esti
mated that there were close to 700.000 skins
In this cargo. This Is probably the largest
single arrival of Russian calfskins ever re
ceived here. It is reported that all of them
are owned by a large New England manu
facturer, who is also Interested in tanning
leather, and that this manufacturer com
pleted arrangements through Washington
for the release of the skins. "m
the deal, which are generally credited, but
not authoritatively confirmed, are that the
"Some of the rumors In the trade regarding
skins were originally contracted for before
the war began and that on this technicality,
but principally because of an arrangement
with Russian authorities that sole leather
equal In value to the skins would be ex
changed for them, permits were granted
for shipment. It Is also stated that an
agreement was made with the buyer that
the skins must be sold to tanners and not
to hide and skin dealers, and that the tan
ners buying them must not export any of
the leather.
"Up to the present writing the skins have
not been sold, and, owing to the fact that no
one Is even allowed to see them, except
tanners who have permits, little Is known
as to Just what varieties they are and
to their condition for quality, etc. Borne
reports are that the lot comprises Cour
lands, Viatkas and Central Russians, with a
proportion' of Pa Hoys (country skins) and
bracks, which is the trade term for inferior
quality Russian skins; There are reports
that some further lots of Russian skins
will be shipped here, but It is doubted if
these will come forward before the opening
of navigation out of Archangel, and it is un
derstood that any. further shipments will not
be as large as the recent arrival.
MThe sharp break several weeks ago of
about 25 per cent in prices on domestic
calfskins was due, at least In part, to the
knowledge tn certain well-informed circles
that these Russian skins were on the way
here, and although 700.000 skins is a mod
erate quantity as compared with almost
20.000.000 pounds, or between S.OOO.OOO and
fl.000.000 skins. Imported from Russia In
the fiscal year 1913-1014. the arrival was
sufficient to evert a material influence.

LEWISTON, Idaho. Jan. 19. (Special.)
The highest prices ever paid in Lewiston
for wheat and barley were posted yester
day and several lots were acquired by
Lewiston buyers. The price of fortyfold
wheat in L-ewioton reached SI. 57 per bushel,
while Marquis wheat topped the market at
$1.62 for commercial first-grade grain and
$1.65 for extra choice Marquis milling
wheat.
There was but little activity In the bar
ley market, although the general price was
$2 a hundred. The former high record
barley price on the wis ton market was
$1.85, paid several years ago.
Grain dealers have estimated that from
10 to -0 per cent of the 1916 crop remains
in the hands of the growers, but it was
stated yesterday that it is practically Im
possible to determine the amount of grain
on the farms of the prairie country.

WHEAT PRICES ARE NOT CHANGED
Country Baying Is Done at Fall Values.
Oats Are Firm.
Wheat prices In' the country were not
materially changed yesterday, although the
Eastern option markets were lower and
sharply reduced bids were posted at the
local exchange. A pool of 85,000 sacks of
bluestem and fortyfold at Lexington brought
91.60 for tickets, and a Quantity of wheat
in the Big Bend was sold, also at the same
price aa on Thursday.
Futures on the Chicago market were 1
to 2 cents lower than the day before, but
the cash market there was strong, as shown
by the sale of No. 2 hard at $2.00 and
No. 1 Northern at $2.03.
At the Merchants' Exchange wheat bids
were reduced 1 to 4 cents, with bluestem at
$1.70 and club at $1.64 to $1.66. Club wheat

THE WEATHER.
as a result the Washington product
haa been more extensively used in the
Northwest than ever before.
"We have been keeping In close touch.
with the situation." said H. E, Louns
bury, general freight agent of the com
pany, yesterday, "and have been en
deavoring to aid the various communi
ties to obtain necessary supplies.
The situation at Baker was investi
gated several weeks ago, and at that
time it was known that on account of
the demand for coal in the East, ship
ments from the mines in Utah and
Wyoming would be far below normal
this Winter. At the present time an
average of a carload of coal a day ar
rives in Baker from those districts."
The company telegraphed the Mayor
of Baker yesterday, offering to relieve
the situation by supplying Washington
coal or briquets, but was advised that
the residents of that city prefer to use
Wyoming or Utah coal. Briquets now
are being used extensively in locomo
tives on the O.-W. R. & N. and officials
say that they are giving satisfaction.

High Prices Exert Conservative Influence
on Baying.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Tomorrow Brad
street's will say:
With less peace talk there Is more con
fidence as to the near future. The country's
leading industries are sold far ahead, retail
trade in heavy goods has been accelerated
by cold weather. Conservatism is.. of course,
evident, and domestic demand for ateel has
slowed down, but It is evident that supplies
of staple articles are not excessive. Prices,
with few exceptions, continue 'to swing up
ward, thus exerting a conservative Influence
upon buying.
The shortage of railway cars, despite Im
provement shown in the past two months,
seriously impedes movements of fuel, steel,
lumber and other commodities, while pau
city of ocean bottoms greatly hampers ex
port trad.
