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.

WIDE CHOICE OF BREEDING SHEEP
Owners In Northwest Canvassed by Pull
man College Professor.
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

NETV TORE, Fob. 20. 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.

EXPORT BUYING 'Of
Seaboard Houses Resume Op

CHICAGO MARKET. HIGHER
Demand Also Stimulated by Report
of Starting of Large Number of
Empty Cars to Relieve
Grain. Congestion.
CHICAGO. Feb. 20. Free buying on ths
part of houses with seaboard connections
did a good deal to lift values In I be wheat
market today, fiices closed nervous Ho to

and July at $1.62 to SL62H. Corn fin
ished unchanged to e up. Oats gained
Van to Ho, and provisions finished at aa ad
vance of 25o to 82c.
Reports that great numbers of empty cars
had been started from the East to relieve
the congestion helped materially to stimu
late the demand for wheat and to glvs the
market an upward tendency, which was at
no time entirely overcome.
Snowfalls In ths Southwest, where Winter
wheat has had insufficient protection from
cold and where also moisture has been seri
ously lacking, made prices for ths new
crop months lag aa compared with the May
option.
Corn hardened with wheat.
Improved demand from the East cava In
dependent firmness to oats. Offerings were
not liberal.
High record prices for hogs brought about
heavy purchasing of provisions and a cor
responding Jump in prices. The most urgent
call was for lard, which rose to the topmost
figures since the Civil War.
