LOSS OF POTATOES
IN NORTHWEST HEAVY
Frost Caught Stocks

in
PITS EVEN DID NOT ESCAPE
Efforts to Dispose of Damagefl
Potatoes Prevents Rapid Rise In
Prices, Yet Markets Move Up.
Local stocks of potatoes were light and
there was a good demand for guaranteed
frost-free with some sellers asking $4.50
for the best Oregons and Yaklmas.
The unprecedented cold weather In the
northwest, particularly In the potato pro
ducing sections of Oregon and Washing
ton, has caused considerable loss of stocks
of potatoes both In storage and tn transit.
The temperatures fell so low that even
stocks In the pits were damaged and the
extent of the loss cannot be determined
until they are opened. Serious as It seems
In this section, tho damage will not be
sufficient to affect the general potato mar
ket of the country, because In the larger
producAig sections no extraordinary dam
age was done The cold snap caught
many potatoes In transit in box cars and
stored in inadequately protected places,
with the result that practically all of th
murkets now have a large supply of frost
damaged potatoes, the disposal of which
Is preventing a rapid rise in prices, which
might have resulted because the shortage
, of refrigerator cars Is preventing a heavj
movement to replace the frosted stock.
"While prices in the western markets
have advanced sharply for frost-free stock,
there has been only a very moderate ad
vance in the eastern markets and produc
ing sections since December 1. At Greeley,
Colo., producers are now receiving $2.80
per cwt., as against J2.60 on December 1.
At Idaho Falls, Kurals were quoted at
J2.73 in carlots and are now bringing $3.33
4, because the weather prevents lire
marketing of anything except that stored
beside the railroad tracks. In Minnesota,
Rod River Ohios have advanced from fiw
3.10, and at Waupaca. Wis.. Round Whites
have gone up from $2,308-2.65, and simi
lar advances are shown In Chicago.

to be 3210 carloads short of their actual
Shipments of last year, and Colorado,

the past "summer, is short 3644 cars. The

tion will probably draw their supplies from
the states around the Great Lakes.

TURKEY MARKET IS UNCERTAIN
Dealers Can Get Word of Only Small Sup
plies in Sight.
There is more uncertainty as to the
Christmas turkey market than there was
at Thanksgiving. Dealers have seut
many Inquiries Into the country, but Jiave
received few responses. From the present
looks of things turkeys will again be
scarce and that means high prices. With
their Thanksgiving experience, however,
retailers do not seem disposed to pay ex
trome prices, and at the probable market
quotation of 47 or 48 cents a small supply
may be sufficient for the local trade.
A few dressed turkeys are now coming
In and are moving around 48 cents, while
88 cents is quoted on live birds. Hens
were firm at 3033 cents and springs at
30 cents. Ducks were quoted at 35 940
cents and geese at 23 30 cents."
Farm-dressed meats were strong and
higher, fancy veal selling at 25 cents and
pork at 23 cents. :
EGG MARKET DECLINES AGAIN
Cash Buyer Will Offer. 65 Cents Delivered
Today.
The egg market was weak, rather "be
cause of the pressure of Australian and
other foreign eggs in the north than owing
to any increase in local receipts, though
a moderate gain in arrivals is expected
now tha the storm is pver. The Seattle
trade Is evidently preparing for a drop,
as a car of fresh eggs was shipped east
yesterday and. 'another Is ready to go. The
larger local buyers will eat their cash buy
ing price 3 cents today, to 65 cents, and
will offer candled ranch t the retail
trade at 70 cents. The movement In fresh
stock was - limited yesterday, but there
wars fair sales of Oregon storage at 57
cents, case count. Some dealers are quot
ing a Jobbing price of 62 cents on candled
storage.
The butter, market wag firm.' Bids of
63 conta were made for fresh cubes. Prints
generally sold at the advance heretofore

MARKET HELPED BX IMPROVE
MENT IX FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
Continued Ease of Money Is Also
Strengthening Factor Ralls
Only Hold Back.
NEW YORK, Dec 17. Several develop
ments contributed to the Irregular strength
of today's stock market. The most note
worthy in potential value was the move
ment of British exchange.
Bills on London continued to rally to the
point where they canceled the greater part
of the recent severe decline, strengthening
the imprsslon in many quarters that steps
are really being taken to negotalte large
international credits. ,
The reviews of steel and iron Industrial
conditions were favorable and were sup
plemented by advances in -quotations for
fuel oil and virtual consummation of large
contracts, foreign and domestic, for rail
way equipment.
Coal loans were freer at 7 per cent than
at any recent period, interior banks offer
ing round amounts at that rate and later
at per cent. Time money ruled firm,
eager bids of 8 per cent for two and three
months eliciting little response.
Shippings, tobaccos, textiles, coppers and
leathers helped to sustain the advance,
with miscellaneous Issues, Including chemi
cal shares, at extreme gains of one to five
points. The only division to hold back
was rails, which moved within a very
narrow radius, hardening slightly at the
firm close.
Sales totaled l.poo.000 shares.
Totat bond sales, par value, aggregated
$28,750,000.
pid United States bonds were unchanged.

IN CHICAGO MARKET.
Prices Strengthened by Big Ad
vance in Sterling Exchange Rates.
Active Export Deiuand for Outs.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Steep advances In
British exchange aided today to bring
about fresh upturns In the value of corn.
Closing prices were nervous. l43T4c net
higher, with January $1.4054(8-1.404 and
May $1.36 1.37. Oats gained 214c
In provisions th outcome ranged trom
20 cents decline to a rise of $1.40.
The initial strength in corn was as
cribed largely to the stimulus given by
the passage of the Edge .foreign finance
bill. Difficulties in obtaining railroad cars
to move the crop tended also to lift the
market. Bhorts bid up December to the
highest point yet of the present upturn.
Oats at first were easier, but developed
much strength, owing to active export de
mand. Pork offerings were scarce. There was
considerable scattered selling of lard and
ribs: - , .
