APRIL DELIVERY AT $37 Tfaeat Higher, Witlt Eastern' Ad vance Due to Improvement in Traffic Conditions Good Bids for Quick Shipment. The clearin up of the traffic situation In fhe East is giving the wheat market an op portunity to assert Its underlying; strength. The sharp advance at Chicago was the cause of a further marking up of bids at the local exchange, where prices were 2 to JS cents higher than Monday. The increase Yn values, however, was not accompanied by jany gain in activity. V Inquiries continue to come from the East. it, as has been the case lately. Quick shla Vnt im desired and the Improvement re ed In railroad conditions has not ax- nded to this territory. It Is also a ques tion whether dealers oould replace sales they might make, as Northwestern farmers are not offering at any point. The mills In the East, from Information received, are about out of stocks, and spot prices command a high premlum over op tions. With a free movement from the West the cash market would ' probably quiet down. Oats were firmer, with more demand from California, and bids at the Exchange were raised 25 to CO cents. One hundred tons of April oats were sold at $36.75 and another 10O tons of April at $37. The local barley market was nominal. In California barley was lower on account of rains, but barley In the East was firmer. The Liverpool grain cable said: "Wheat steady, with moderate arrivals; export offers firmly held. Corn firm, with good spot demand; arrivals moderate, con sumption liberal Oats easier, with arrivals Increasing: recent purchases liberal. Ship ping facilities show an Improvement, there fore arrivals expected to be larger. An of ficial announcement refers to government Intention of further limiting Imports, ex cept necessities. "Argentina Weather continues generally clear and warm. Corn reports unfavorable from north and center and better In south.' "Foreign crop summary unfavorable." Bradstreet's reports the visible wheat de crease at 1.040.000 bushels, with European figures not available. The Canadian wheat visible decreased 774,000 bushels and the . oats visible decreased 896,000 bushels. Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Portland wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Tuesday 11 2 4 10 8 Tear ago 2 .... S 5 20 Season to date. 8.948 164 1078 1S13 1672 .

STATE COLLEGE. Pullman, Feb. 20. (Special.) A survey of the sheep Indus try of Washington and adjoining states by Professor William Hlslop. head of the De partment of Animal ' Husbandry of the col lege, canvasses the situation among own ers of nearly 250.000 sheep, and develops a surprisingly wide preference among sheep men as to desirable breeds. Asking the sheepmen which breed of sheep they pre ferred. Professor Hlslop also asked why they had such preference. Emythe Bros., of Pendleton. Or., stated that they preferred Merino and Lincoln ewes with Lincoln and Hampshire rams; Hampshire for mutton lambs; Llncolns for dual purpose sheep. J. H. Lobbln, of Joseph. Or lambing 10.000 ewes, preferred Merino and Lincoln ewes and Hampshire rams, giving as his reason "Llncolns for wool and Hampshire for mutton." J. T. Hosklns. of Echo, Or., said "Merino ewes and Lincoln rams for large size and long wool." Oliver & Son. of John Day, Or., preferred Delaine ewes and Delaine rams, 'ln order to get young breeding ewes." G. C. Tucker, of Keating, Or., preferred De laine ewes and Lincoln rams, stating that this combination was In excellent demand. Leo Nicholas, of Prinevllla, Or., wants Me rino ewes and Shropshire rams, stating they mature early and give the best mutton. Er nest F. Johnson, of Wallowa, Or., preferred Delaine and Ramboulllet ewes with Hamp shire and Lincoln rams, saying that for 'early mutton the lambs were best." For lambs that fatten quick, and are . heaviest In July, J. D. Hoke, of Medical Springs. Or., preferred Merino ewes and Hampshire rams. To secure a good qual ity of mutton lamb, Fred Palmer, of Jor dan Valley. Or., lambing 10.000 ewes, pre ferred Shropshire and Cotswold ewes with rams of the same breed; and D. O. Justno, of Heppner. wanted Merino ewes and Lin coln rams, on account of a better sale for the lambs. C. A. Johnson, of Pilot Rock, preferred half-blood Lincoln ewes and Lin coln rams for the sake of higher-priced wool. Kydd & Grant, of Walla Walla, pre ferred Ramboulllet ewes and Shropshire rams, saying that the ewes were easier to herd and that lambs matured early. The Smith Valley Farm Company, of White Sulphur Springs. Mont.. lambing P500 ewes, expressed a preference for half blood Ramboulllet and Hampshire ewes and Hampshire rams, stating: "Hampshire because most buyers prefer a blackfaced lamb for a feeder. Previous to the war, wool was too cheap to raise fine wool sheep sot, we decided to go In for mutton, hence the blackface and Hampshire In preference to all other blackfaced sheep." ALL GRADES OF BUTTER ARE FIRMER Margin Between Cubes and Prints Regarded as Too Narrow. The butter market was firm with Indica tions of an advance soon In print prices. Cuba extras were generally quoted at 87 cents, with 88 cents probably obtainable on an occasional lot. The margin between cube and print prices Is now so small that it Is likely the latter will have to be raised. Eggs held at 32 cents case count, with a few sales worked half a cent higher. Poultry and dressed meats were quoted unchanged. Both lines were firm with mod erate advances. Tomatoes From Florida. Another shipment of Florida tomatoes was received yesterday and put on sale at $6 a crate. . The steamer brought "a light supply of California vegetables, all of which ware quoted at firm prices. Firm Wool Market at iondon. LONDON, Feb. 20. There was an active demand for the fine selections of merinos offered at the wool auction sales today. Prices were firm: New South Wales greasy sold as high as 8s; South Australian at 2s 6d and (Queensland scoured at 4s 6V4d. Bank Clearings.

The market today g-ave unmlatakabl evidence of a disposition to shove off the apathy and timidity which have been its chief characteristics ever since the early part of the year. Stocks of al most all descriptions were taken with ap parent freedom and confidence, rails and shipping alone showing comparative back wardness. Commission-houses reported a moderate revival of public Interest, but a very large proportion of the turnover, which amounted to 620,000 shares, resulted from further cov. erlns by an over-extended short Interest. . United States Steel and other favorites furnished the basis (or much of the day's business. Coppers were next In point of demand virtually every Issue of that di vision raining- 1 to 8 points, Utah and Smelt ing; being steadily absorbed. Affiliated shares, such as the sine Issues and National Lead, also reflected the higher prices pre vailing for those products.
