PORTLAND MARKET QUOTATIONS.
An advance of 80 cents a barrel In
hard wheat flours, effective this morning,
was announced by a number of the mills.
The best family patents will be quoted at
$13.13 a barrel f. o. b. mill in less than
ca riots and S12.R0 in carlots. Bakers'
hard wheat flour will be $13.73, whole
wheat flour 112.03 and graham $11.80.
X change was made In soft wheat flour
prices. Straights are listed at $10.70 and
ralleys at $11.
The advance, which the trade has been
too king for for some time past. Is the
result of the high wheat market. Had
the millers seen fit to take advantage
e-f the full limit, based on wheat values,
the rise would have been considerably
greater.
It Js & fact, though con-timers may
not be aware of it, that the Pacific
coast flour markets have been the lowest
of any Jn the United States throughout
the season. A comparison of flour prices
shows that even with the present advance
of 80 cents a barrel the market Is lower
by from 80 cents to $2.60 a barrel than
the principal hard wheat milling centers
for the same grades of flour.
In the Minneapolis market, accord In e:
to the Northwestern Miller of January
14. 1920, flour prices on spring wheat
patents, made from Minnesota and Da
kota hard spring wheat, range from $14.75
to $13.80 a barrel and hard winter wheat
patents, made from Kansas and Nebraska
hard winter wheats range from $14 to
$14.63 a barrel at Kansas City. The
price on these flours Is basis cotton
ha ires, and where packed in cotton
quarters for the family trade the price
U 15 cents a barrel additional.
In the Pacific coast terminal market
hard wheats are selling at from $3.20
to $3.30 a bushel. This is about the
same range of prices that Is being paid
In Minneapolis for northern spring wheat
and is considerably more than is being
paid for hard winter wheats in the St.
houis and Kansas City markets.
EASTERN WHEAT MARKETS FIRMER

A re I rregu 1 r.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2L Another severe
slump in foreign exchange and the ex
treme lethargy of the stock market, re
sulting in greater ease of demand money,
were the outstanding features of the day
in the financial district.
The break in international remittances
carried the pound sterling down to $3.60,
or 8 cents under its previous low record,
during the market session. French, Ital
ian, Belgian, German and Austrian quo
tations suffered in greater degree, but the
so-called "neutral" centers were firm.
To find a parallel for today's dull mar
ket, in which the turnover barely totaled
475.000 shares, it is necessary to hark
back to the middle of last February, when
trading dwindled to less than 400,000
shares.
Call money opened at 6 per cent, the
lowest renewal rate since last October,
that quotation holding throughout the day.
per Time money was quotable unchanged, but
again virtually unobtainable except lor
moderate amounts.
In the bond market, the only notewor
thy features were the fractional improve
ment in liberty issues and local tractions.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $13,
575,000. Old United States bonds were un
changed on call.

The modern trust company sells
service as well as bonds. The trained
bond salesman is one means of ren
dering service to the investor.
A salesman of the Lumber mens Trust
Company is the mouthpiece of a
responsible business organization
operating under the supervision of
the banking department of the State
of Oregon.
The salesman is expected to call upon the clients of the company frequently.
He not only presents the particular investments being handled by the company, but
also offers expert advice relating to general market conditions.
The investor is often a busy man, who has little time to investigate the relative
worth of the securities he may have under consideration. The trained salesman
from the responsible trust company can, therefore, render a distinct service by
furnishing accurate information on various securities. Our salesmen spend a great
deal of time in conscientious study of general investment subjects, and have a
thorough understanding of the securities being offered the investing public at the
present time.
The salesman is also glad at any time to explain the various phases of a bond
transaction beginning with the investigation of the bond issue on the part of the
company experts, prior to purchase for the trust company's account, and carrying it
through to the maturity of the bonds.
A permanent institution like the Lumbermens Trust Company, organized with
large capital and supervised by the banking department of the Slate of Oregon,
can offer constant and continuous service.
