ALL ORDERS CEASE
Wheat Market Tied Up by
Strike Prospects.
TCO INQUIRIES FROM EAST
Strong California Demand for
Northern Millfeed Has Devel
oped and Higher Prices Are
Bid for Early Shipments.
be strike prospects have had the effect
f completely tying up the wheat market
so far as eastern business Is concerned.
There has not been much doing In that
line for several weeks, though Inquiries were
received regularly up to two days ago.
Now, with prospects of a general stoppage
of service, eastern millers have lost all In
terest In Pacific Coast wheat.
At the Merchants" Exchange wheat bids
were reduced all around, bluestem by 1 to
S cents, while other sorts were 8 to 5 cents
lower than on Tuesday.
The oats market was quiet with a firm
undertone. There was Inquiry from Cali
fornia with prospects of a fair demand de
veloping In that quarter.
California Buyers were alao keen for mill
feed and bid $30 for shorts and $28.80 for
bran. Millers are carrying small stocks of
feed, and as the local ss well as southern
demand Is stronger, prices are Inclining up
ward. Liverpool cables reported the British
wheat market quiet but firm. Larger ship
ments from this side are expected.

estimating farm reserves of grain, gives

CRANBERRY EXCHANGE 13 FORMED
Campaign For Fall Delivery Will Soon Be
Opened.
The cranberry growers of the Pacific
Coast have organised an exchange for the
sale and distribution of their product and
now have 10 per cent of the total cranberry
acreage of the lower Columbia River district
signed up.
There are three associations of cranberry
growers In the lower Columbia district. Two
of these are in Pacific County, Wash,, the
other in Clatsop County. Or. These three
associations compose the cranberry exchange.
A sales manager is to be selected within
a week, who will have complete charge of
the sales end of the industry. Ealesmen will
pro Into the leading market centers of the
Coast within a short time to sell Pacific
Coast cranberries for Fall delivery.
Cranberries from both Oregon and Wash

of the Coast that it met in Portland the
success of the new exchange is assured.

UWISTON'S RECORD HOG PRICE.
Steers Also Advance Sharply la Idaho
. Market.
LEWISTOK. Ida.. March 14. (Special.)
A new record price was paid for hogs here
yesterday when John Kennedy received
$13.85 per 100 for two carloads of corn-fattened
hogs.
The price of prims steers reached $10.80
per 100. and buyers predict all livestock
prices will experience a further advance. A
prime steer will not dress more than 35 per
cent of th. live weight, which means the
actual cost of beef Is approximately 20
cents per pound before It leaves the slaughter
house. Add to this the expense of butcher
ing, delivering and the reasonable retail
profit, and the dealer Is compelled to charge
from 35 to 40 cents per pound for the best
cuts, while the less desirable cuts must be
marketed at a price less than the actual
coBt laid on the block. All butcher shops
have experienced a noticeable curtailment in
their orders as the price. oi meat advances.

RAILWAY SHARES SLUGGISH
Sinking- of American . Steamer and
Action by China Without Effect
on Prices Industrial Trade
Reports Are Favorable
NEW YORK, March 14. During the
greater part of today's session prices drifted
idly and without definite trend, save In a
few of the better-known specialties, where
gains and losses were Impartially distribut
ed. Public interest was utterly lacking and
traders evidently deemed it wise to hold
aloof in view of the overhanging uncertain
ties. On the surface there were no changes in
the railway labor situation, but the slug
gishness of transportation shares suggested
Increasing doubt of a satisfactory outcome of
tomorrow's conference.
International conditions were further
complicated by China's severance of rela
tions with Germany and the sinking of an
American ship within the prescribed war
area. Neither of these Incidents excited
more than passing attention, but probably
served to curtail operations.
The most encouraging note of the day
was sounded by Industrial Interests, trade
authorities reporting a rush of steel orders.
This was accepted as the more significant
because the recent advance of $7 to $10 per
ton for fabricated steel and iron.
Comparative statements for 1919, sub
mitted by several of the steel, sugar and
tobacco companies, disclosed pronounced
gains In earnings and general operations
over the preceding year. These were with
out much effect on the stocks most con
cerned, although sugar and paper Issues,
especially the latter, were irregular and in
soine instances materially hlg-her.
Among the few noteworthy gains of the
day were industrial alcohol, which was
very active at an extreme gain of 4H to
l- i on reports that the company has been
taken over by powerful financial Interests.
Cuban-American Sugar rose 9i to 1394 on
the chantre for the better In Cuban affairs.
Gains elsewhere were nominal and without
significance.
United States Steel, coppers, equipments
and motors fell back with gas shares and
lffcal tractions in the steady decline of the
final hour. Steel showing a net loss of al
most a point at 110. Sales, 880,000 shares.
Bonds were lower. United States 5s re
ceded Vi point, with heaviness in Interna
tionals. Total sales, par value, $2,900,000.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

POSSIBILITY OF LOSS.
X. Ravlln Points Ont That Lefrlsln
tnrca of Future Cannot Rescind
Special Auto License Tax.
HOOD RIVER. On. March 14. (Spe
cial.) C. N. Ravlin. chairman of the
executive committee of the Hood River
County Good Roads Association. In re
ply to opponents of the $6,000,000 road
bonding act, who contend that the peo
ple have no assurance that some future
Legislature may not rescind the special
license tax on automobiles, cites section
12 of the bonding act and declares . that
the measure, if adopted, will tie the
automobile license bill absolutely to
itself aa -a contract between -the state
and purchasers of bonds.
"Under section 12 of the bill," said
Mr. Ravlin, "the prospective purchasers
of bonds issued, under the proposed
measure are guaranteed that the inter
est and principal of the bonds will
be raised by the special automobile li
censes. If any attempt ever ts made to
change the law, the bondholders may
prevent such action by mandamus pro
ceedings." Sentiment in favor of the road bond
ing act Is growing fast here. The
names on the roster of the Good Roads
Association bave increased by scores
daily- At a regular meeting of the
Commercial Club Monday, a plan was
devised whereby the members of the
organization - would assist the newly
formed roads organization. The city of
Hood River will be divided into small
sections and a personal canvass will
be made to ascertain the sentiment of
individuals. The Hood River Woman's
Club has Indorsed the movement, and
Mrs. W. F. Laraway, president, will ap
point a committee of two to work with
the executive committee of the Good
Roads Association.

STRIKE HITS WHEAT
Five-Cent Break in Market
at Chicago.
TONE AT CLOSE NERVOUS
Railroads Give Xotlce of Refusal to
' Move Freight -Early Prices Are
Greatly Unsettled by Sink
ing of Steamer Algonquin.
CHICAGO. March 14. Railroad notices of
freight refusal on account of the threatened
strike, smaabed the wheat market today
after pricea had been greatly unsettled by
th. action of a German submarine In sink
ing the American food-laden steamship
Algonquin. Quotations, which at one time
showed an extreme break of 6 cents a
bushel, closed nervous. 1 to 6e net lower,
with May at $1.784 to $L7T and July at
$1.52a 0 1.52H. Other commodities, too.
also finished at a loss, corn down UJc to
IHc; oats, lc to l&itflSc, and provisions
10c to 30c.
It was not until the final hour of th.
session that the wheat trad, suddenly awoke
to a realization that th. proposed atrlke
already bad began to put a clutch on freight
traffic - The market, which for some time
previous had been on the decline, plunged
now headlong down grade and did not atop
until th. break In values had carried May
delivery as low as Sl.73. against fl.81ft
to $1.8134 at yesterday's close.
Corn sympathized with the depression In
wheat." Owing to the strike situation, no
efforts were made to effect shipping sales.
Oats, like other grain, wore dominated
chiefly by the bearish Influence of the rail
road traffic outlook. Speculators were ag
sjresslvely on the selling side.
Provisions, ss well ss cereals, weakened In
the face of growing difficulties of transpor
tation. Besides, lower quotations on hogs
formed a source of discouragement to hold
ers. Leading futures ranged aa follows:

Mor Potatoes and Other Vegetables
Will Be Planted Cannery De
mand Widens Market. .
VANCOUVER, Wash, March 14.
(Special.) The recent rains through
out Clarke County have left the soil
so wet that little plowing has been
done, but today was dry and If fa
vorable weather continues, farmers
will start planting their potatoes. It
Is thought that a large Increase in
acreage In potatoes will be planted
this year, as there has been a short
ape, and already. some growers have
si frried up to sell next year's crop, as
suring a good market for all grown
this year in this section of the state.
Potatoes grow unusually well in '
Southwestern Washington and there Is
seldom a failure known here. This
year's crop brought the highest price
ever known here, $3.25 a hundred be
ing paid for large lots.
The local cannery has increased its
capacity and farmers have agreed to
raise certain vegetables for from one
to five years for the cannery's use.
The cannery last year employed from
100 to 300 persons for the greater
part of the canning season, but the
most of the products canned wera
shipped In, the local farmers not real
izing that there was a market for
such products here. It is thought. In the
light of recent developments, that the
farmers this year will plant more po
tatoes, spinach, beans, squash and all
kinds of berries and small fruits.
The prices of sugar and cans to con
tain the goods are unusually high,
and all canned goods will be much
higher next year. A salesman re
cently here said his Quotations for fu
tures opened SO per cent above last
year'a
