MILLFEED ADVANCE
LESS THAN EXPECTED
Prices Raised $3.90 a Ton by
Local Millers.
CONSUMER IS PROTECTED
Little Reduction Will Be Made In
Flour Bids Snbmltted to
Government.
?llllfeed prices ivere advanced yesterday,
but not to the extent that wu expected.
Tnstead of a $10 rise that "was considered,
the price wae put up J3.00 a ton. The new
quotations on mill run, (. o. b. mill, are $36
In carlots. $30.50 tor mixed cars, $3S'for ton
lots or over, and $39 (or less than ton lots.
While all are agreed that an advance In
feed Is necessary to offset such a decline In
Hour as will invite Government buying in
this territory, the millers were disposed to
lighten the burden on feed consumers as
much as possible and let the allies pay a
full price, if they will, for the flour they
et here. They are. therefore, offering:
Hour for export at only a slight reduction
from the old price, and If business can be
worked on this basis, there may be no fur
ther rise In millfeed prices. If. on the
other hand, it is necessary to cut export
flour still more; feed prices will have to
co up correspondingly.
The coarse grain market was lower all
around In sympathy with the East. One
hundred tons of January clipped oats were
sold at the Exchange at $52.30. a decline
of B0 cents from Saturday's bid price.
Backed oats were $1 lower and other ce
reals 25c$l under Saturday's quotations.

RECORD PRICE OS DRESSED TCRKEY8
Best Stock Sells Up to 51 Cents la Wholesale
Market.
Turkeys sold at the highest price ever
"known on the street yesterday. The supply
was short of local requirements and the
shortage was made more acute by ship
ments to outs'de points.
Dealers obtained 4446 cents 6unday and
at the opening of business yesterday the
market was strong at 46 cents. As the day
wore on the price advanced steadily until
it touched 50 and 51 cents. At least 1000
pounds are known to have moved at the lat
ter price and more could have been sold had
they been available. A feature of the trade
this year was the heavy buying by Califor
nlans, who not only operated in the valley,
but Oakland dealers also bousht turkeys on
the Portland market Sunday.
Dressed geese were Bcarce and sold at 42
cents and dressed ducks wtnt as high as 50
cents. Live poultry cleaned up at firm
prices.
Cheese Price Regulated.
Regulations governing cheese sales, as is
sued by the Food Administration, follow:
"The licensee dealing in cheese shall sell
cheese without regard to market or replacer
ment value at not more than a reasonable
advance over the cost of the particular
cheese sold; provided, that the licensee may
average by weight, the cost of all cheese of
the same kind, shape and grade which have
not already been contracted to be sold. The
licensee shall keep a record of the manner
in which such average has been determined.
When new lots are added and a new average
calculated the licensee shall Include In the
new averaging all stock remaining on hand
of lots already averaged at the average cost
of such lots previously determined. If the
cost of any cheese Is averaged the cost of
all cheese must be averaged."
Grain Regulations Repealed.
A- number of special license regulations,
. controlling elevators and dealers handling
wheat, rye. corn, oats and barley have been
repealed by the Food Administration.
The rules repealed relate to the storage
of grain limited to period of 60 days; amount

Idaho Wheat Acreage Increased.
The Idaho state crop report gives the
preliminary estimate of Winter wheat acre
age as 332.000 acres compared with 813.000
acres sown last Fall. The Increase over last
year would undoubtedly have been larger,
but farmers were handicapped by the labor
shortage. Sacrificing the fallow land In or
der to plant as much wheat as possible last
year and the continued tendency to favor
Spring wheat, were contributing' factors. The
hard Spring wheat variety. Marquis, is gain
ing favor.
Eggs and Butter Decline.
With the holiday demand over, eggs weak
ened under larger receipts. Ordinary
candled stock was offered at 70 cents with
few takers.
Cube butter was also weak. Extras moved
In a small way at 59 cents.

SHIPPING SHARES FIRM
EARLY TRANSFER OF TOXXAGE
OF MERCANTILE INDICATED.
Standard Ralls Are Heavier Than
Speculative Issues Remain
der of List Weak.
NEW YORK. Dec. 23. Left quite entirely
to its own devices, today's stock market
settled down to the dull routine of the
past fortnight after a moderately active
and strong opening In which shippings
were the main features at extreme ad
vances of 1 to 4 points.
The strength of - this particular group
was directly traceable to , reports from
Washington Indicating the early transfer
of the British tonnage of the Mercantile
Marine Company to the United States Gov
ernment on a aatlsf actory financial basis.
For the balance of the session the move
ment was one of idle drift, mainly down
ward, in which standard rails were rela
tively heavier than speculative Issues,
grangers and coalers, for example, losing
1 to almost 3 points.
Other points of weakness embraced the
coppers, secondary equipments, Studebaker
and utilities. Total sales amounted to
360.000 shares..
Bonds were heavy as a result of the
weakness shown by minor rails and utilities.
In which losses ran from 1 to 2 per cent.
Marked improvement was evinced by the
liberty division, the 3s advancing over 1
per cent and the fourth 4Vs rallying sub
stantially from last week's low quotations.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $14,250.
000. Old UniLsd States .bonds were un
changed on call.
