TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER .". 1018. 19 HDP GROWERS WAIT FOR NEXT ADVICE Crops Withdrawn From Mar ket Owing to Rapid Rise. PRICES HOLD VERY STRONG Speculators Who AVer largely Re sponsible" for f plift Are Xot So Keen Now to Buy. 4l talned In special license regulations No. 2, applying to millers, and rule 6, as contained in special license regulations o. 25, apply ing; to licensed elevators and dealers in feed grains and feed products, are both herewith, repealed. "The cancellation of these rules removes all restrictions from the use or sale of wheat for feed purposes as well aa in the manu facture of poultry feed and mixed feeds. 1 Ecri Are HoldLnff Steady. The eg; market wa steady yesterday and there was no Indication that prices would change soon. Oregon fresh ranch, ordinary candled, were quoted at 65 cents and fresh Eastern were offered at 60 cents. Butter dragged at last week's prices. There was a good demand for poultry, hens selling; at 262S cents, heavy Springs at 27 cents and broilers at 0 cenis. Dressed meats were unchanged. Demand for Potatoes Blow. The demand for potatoes was slow tnd prices steady and unchanged at $1.60'92.00, according to quality for Burbanks, and $2.00 2.15 for netted Gems. A car of Oregon onions arrived and yellow stock was held at $2. CaUfornla were quoted at $1.70 2.00. There Is not much business stirring in the flop trade, although the market continues very stronpr. The recent rapid advance in Trices served as a notice on growers to be cautious about selling and as a consequence there are practically no hops now offering op the Oregon market- The same conditions exist in California and "Washington. The demand continues and the few lots left un sold in the Xorthwest could bo turned easily it the growers were disposed to accept the jrices offered. There is not the same In quiry from speculators, however, and a number of them withdrew from the mar ket wln-n prices ceased to move forward. The lat'-.-t transaction In Oregons reported was the sa.ic of a carload by a Chinese grower at If cents. That the brewing interests of "New York do not regard the stopping of brewing of beer cm December 1 as final, and a step toward prohibition. Is shown by the atti tude taken by the various companies to wards the future operations of their plants and th disposal of their properties. Unlike the Anheuser-Busch Association, of St. Louis, which has already turned over to the Government its Immense plant and man ufacturing facilities for war purposes. New York brewers are undecided upon what uses they are going to put their plants to when all brewing is stopped on December 1 tinder I the Presidential edict forbidding; the use ; of grain for such purposes. As the brewers explain It, the equipment of the breweries Is such as to make necessary a practical re building of the plants to make them fit for any other purposes. Working at top speed, they are storing large quantities of beer to carry them over sifter brewing stops, and It is estimated by one brewer that practically all the plants tLre stocked with enough beer to last from four to six months after December 1. Pres ent plans call for the utilization of the breweries as warehouses to hold this im mense quantity of beer. j PUKPLUS OF BUTTER ON MARKET ZjOCo! Creamery Gives Reason for Cutting Price of Printo. j A local creamery which recently put out and has maintained a lower print butter price than the other city creameries has sent st. circular letter to retail dealers which says: "Owing to the wide range of price be tween fresh and storage butter, the fresh make has not been moving: out to the trade in proportion to the amount manufactured by the creameries, therefore a surplus of fresh butter was being accumulated on the Middle West and West Coast markets. "Some of the local plants had either large amounts of Eastern butter on hand or in transit, which was purchased at a figure Chat would allow them no profit If sold upon true -local market conditions. The law of supply and demand should and does reg ulate the buying and selling- price of nearly all commodities on legitimately conducted changes. Why not on butter? "Do yon know that the price of butter as quoted by certain Seattle and Portland creameries'" on October 31 was the highest butter quotation on recognized markets in the United States? Can you understand why the above markets situated In producing dairy sections should be quoted at such figures If the law of supply and demand Is to regulate the price which goods are to be sold for? "We have not purchased one pound of Eastern butter, and the butter offered by tja is our own make." Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as zoiiows: 'leartngs.

Towle, manager ot th travel department of the American Railway Kxpress Company, was a Port land visitor yesterday on his first offi cial tour of the Pacific Coast. The travel department of the express com pany is a new creation, and has taken on important responsibilities in the travel of the world In the few months since It was put in operation. Through tho operation of the 0.000 Offices of the company in this country and the more than 40 general offices In- principal cities of the world, the department makes every provision in detail for the tickets, accommodation! on train, ship or resort hotels, arranges for passports and discharges every service for those who tour the United States or fro abroad. Koreisrn travel is frreatly restricted, owlnrr to lark of steamships for South America, the Orient -or Kurope, and there are such restrictions as prevent issuance of passports except to those who have the best of reasons for travel. Mr. Towle anticipates there, will be re vival of world-wide travel In a remark able measure as soon as restoration of traffic on & peace basis may be made possible. "The Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso ciation has done some, very effective advertising In the Kast this year." said iir. -towle. "and it lias been of a char acter to arouse a lot of Interest in this part of the country." Lack of time to remain over another day prevented Mr. Towle beinit taken over the Columbia River Hichway, but secretary uodson and Sidney li. V'ln cent, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Charles W.

This was followed by CHICKS GET WHEAT AGAIN FOOD ADMINISTRATION LIFTS EMBARGO OX WHEAT. . Grain Now Available for Poultry and Stock Feeding; Farmers Will Benefit but Little. The Food Administration has removed all restrictions on the use or sale of wheat for poultry or stock feeding;. A ban was put on the use of wheat for such purposes soon after the food laws became effective. In a bulletin issued yesterday by 1L H. Houser, second vice president of the Food Administration Grain Corporation, the repeal of the rule is announced. The larsrer supply of wheat in this country and the good crop prospects for next year are held to be responsi ble for the easing up of the regulations. which apply to all parts of the United States. Farmers and stockmen, however, are rot expected to fret much advantage from the new ruling, aa with the Gov ernment's fixed wheat price this cereal will cost much more than corn, oats, barley or other grains for stock feed ing. The farmer will find it more prof itable to sell his wheat to the mills or the Government, and buy coarse grains for his stock. Phone your want ads to Ths Orego ntan. Main 7070, A 6094.
