land .find Puget Sound Ports
This Week.
Bids for export flour were awarded yes
terday by the Food Administration to mill
ers in the Pacific Northwest. Only about
60 per cent of the flour offered was accept
ed, as the tonnage available for quick ship
ment is limited. It is understood that the
total amount purchased was close to 300.0U0
barrels, of which it is presumed that 100.000
barrels will be loaded at Portland and I'OO.OUO
barrels at Puget Sound ports. This flour
Is to bs shipped by January 23.
The renewal of Government operations in
tlour is not likely to have effect on the
millfeed market or situation. The demand
lor feed has fallen off materially In the
past week or two.
Eastern cats and corn bids were 50 cents
bigher at the Merchants' Exchange yester
day. Local oats and barley were unchanged.
San Francisco advices are that Egyptian
corn and milo maize have been nearly
cleaned up In the country. Very little yel
low corn has been offered lately.
Weatner conditions in the Middle West, as
wired from Chicago: "Winnipeg, cloudy, 2o
degrees; Minneapolis, foggy, 40; Kansas City,
loggy, 37; Omaha, fogsy, 0; Topeka, lossy,
28; St. Louis, cloudy, 4o; Ohio Valley, cloudy,
42."
Hroomhall cables as to crop conditions in
Argentina: "Harvesting continues to make
rapid progress, but the outturn this year
will be rather smaller than crops of preced
ing years. The yield is estimated at between
63.000,000 and SO.000.000 bushels, which
should provide about o0.000.000 to 40,000,000
bushels for export. Old 'stocks of wheat re
mailng from previous harvests are ample,
however, and with the addition of the sur
plus from the new crop should aggregate
about 200.000,000 buphels."
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

on Supporting Orders Steel
at New Iiw Point.
NEW TORK, Jan. 21. The conspicuous
feature of today's broad stock market was
the determined and partly successful effort
of bear traders to extend their advantage of
recent days, in which they were aided by
the pessimistic views attributed to industrial
leaders and railroad executives.
L'niled Ftates Steel was the pivot around
which the market revolved, and it is likelv to
retain this position lor another week, when
the directors meet to approve the last quar
terly statement of 1910, and take action on
the common dividend. Vncertalntly rearard-.
Ins the attitude of the eteei board Toward
future disbursements on the junior shares
is having an adverse effect upon other
stocks. Including raiis and coppers.

tion was the result of a dispute over
