OHIN BAG PRICES
FIRMLY MAiNTAINED
Market Holds in Line With
Strength at Calcutta.
SHIPMENTS BACKWARD
Quantity Purchased for This Coaet
Will Probably Be Sufficient for
All Requirements.
Buying; ef "bags by dealers has been
l!hter this week, owing to the slow de
mand from farmers, but prices remain very
firm. Hellers to the country quote cat-lots
at 22 cents coast.
The latest Calcutta cables report 85.000.
00O bass bought to date. Shipments from
Calcutta to the end of March were 10,750.
000 bags, so there will have to be a heavy
movement in April and the first half ot
My to get the bass to the coast In time.
The Colusa is now loading a full cargo at
Calcutta for San Francisco and it is be
lieved there will be enough tonnage avail
able for the remaining shipments.
Before the war the Pacific coast re
quirements averaged about 50.000,000 bags
annually. Increase In bulk handling of
ffraln has cut down the bag needs some
what. Dealers figure there are Just about
enough bags In sight to take care of the
crop thia year, but there is nothing to In
dicate a surplus.
The price of grain bags is made in Cal
cutta, not here, and Calcutta advices do
not show any signs of a weakening market.
Last eeason the coast bag market opened
at 13 cents, slumped to 10 cents and later
worked back to 20 cents and over. Predic
tions of a 25-cent market this season are
made by some bag men.
STRONG MARKET 'OR COARSE GRAIN
Eastern Bulk Oats and Barley Are ot
Quoted on Local Board.
The Merchants' Exchange association de
cided yesterday not to call for bids on east
ern clipped oats and eastern bulk barley
until market conditions change. Extrem
high prices in the east have resulted In
inactivity in these lines for several weeks
past.
The markets were all firm. May corn
bids were raised 50 cents and blue feed
barley were G0c9$l higher. Sacked oats
ringed from unchanged to 50 cents higher.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool as to
the corn market: "Trade in Plate has
broadened considerably of late and busi
ness is now on a more active scale. The
market for Plate later ruled weak. Oats
turned weak owing to large tenders on
contract.."

IXOIR ADVANCES SHARPLY IN KAST
Patents Are 30 to 70 Cents Higher De
mand Is Stronger.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. April 20., (Spe
cial.) The Northwestern . Miller's weekly
review of the flour trade says:
"Flour prices have gone up sharply
along the line in 'the past week, patents
advancing 30 to 70 cents per barrel. The
week's flour output waa presumably by
far the smallest for the year, owing to
the railroad employes strike, which re
duced production at several of the ter
minals to a merely nominal amount. The
strike and the car shortage combined to
make buyers in the large consuming mar
kets realize the danger of letting stocks
fall too low and Inquiry for flour was so
. tlve with a fair volume ot buying. Mills
at 'many points are finding it.almost im
possible to secure freight cars.
"Mill feed Is higher than ever, bran
last week passing 900 per ton In eastern
markets.
"The Kansas-Oklahoma hard winter
. wheat mills report a flour production last
week representing 42 per cent of capacity
the Ohio valley soft winter wheat mills
3ft per cent and the spring wheat mills
34 per eent.
CUBE BITTER OFFERED FREELY
Kellers Ask M Cents for Extras Eggs

Butter waa offered more freely yester
day, but . sellers held out for 66 cents for

The egg market waa firmer with

ment to a number of outside points. Bids

try shippers.
Poultry receipts were- of fair size and
cleaned up at steady prices. Veal

erty Bonds Are Lower.
NEW YORK, April 20. The stock mar
ket was again largely under the Influence
of an aggressively confident short interest
today, many popular issues, especially
those recently In speculative favor, record
ing additional severe price depreciation.
In most quarters there was an evident
disposition to attribute the further decline
mainly to monetary conditions. Call
money was comparatively easy, however,
declining from its 8 per cent opening rate
to 6 per cent during the mid-session.
Prices were at lowest levels In the last
hour, the heaviest selling of the session
being concurrent with news of the intro
duction . of a bill before congress which
aims to prohibit speculation In stocks and
bonds. ,
The most vulnerable issues comprised
steels, equipments, oils, motors and the
accessories, together with numerous spe
cialties. Gross recessions in these Issues
extended from 2 to almost 20 points. Sales
1.650,000 shares.
Little improvement was shown by the
general bond list, several of the liberty
Issues making still lower records, with
heaviness among internationals. Total
sales, par value, $14,250,000.
Old United States bonds were unchanged

$1.66. Oata gained lo higher. In
provisions the outcome varied from no
changed figures to 70c lower.
Commission houses apparently over
reached themselves in pressing the bear
side during the earlier trading. Until about
midday the majority of leaders held to the
view that bullish (actors had been dis
counted. Then, however. sentiment
changed, owing more or less to extremely
pessimistic reports of a leadimr crop au
thority regarding domestic wheat and.
oats.
Oats, like corn, receded at first, hot then
rose to the highest prices this eeason.
Provision were weak.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbeck A Cooke company of
Portland said:
Corn Inability of the market to turn
readily from strength to weakness was
again demonstrated today when heavy
offerings were absorbed by a scattered
commission house demand and the mar
ket rallied sharply from the low point
made early in the day. tt waa noticeable,
however, that buying power lacked the
nap that haa been so conspicuous of late
and the undertone waa not strong. Re
ceipts were small but the - spot market
nevertheless was easy with sales un
changed to two cents lower. .A report
that Argentina may place an embargo
on wheat exports wae responsible for the
late advanee. It is understood that a
concerted effort is being made by govern
ment officials in a position to -bring re
sults to relieve the car situation through
the grain belt, which might be reflected
in a substantially Increased movement dur
ing the next 30 days. Country elevator
stocks are unusually large and the fact
that farmers will be busy with field, work
should not Interfere with arrivals at ter
minal markets. The eastern demand is
at a standstill as evident today by can
cellations totaling 190,000 bushels.
Oats Considerable pressure waa put en
the market early, but not in sufficient
volume to over-run the outside demand
Induced, by unfavorable weather and crop
reports. Some talk was heard that ex
porters were asking for offers, but there
was no evidence that the report had any
foundation. It is by tar too early in the
season to predict extensive crop losses
and when the sun peglns to shine the
country will very likely take on an ap
pearance that will be astounding to the
pessimists.

An enormous amount of heat is wasted through poorly
