"Poultry raisers in Ore&on this winter find that the Oregon egg market is governed by eastern trade conditions, particularly the New Tork market, and not by the rate f consumption in the northwestern cities, aa in Bast years. More eggs are now pro duced in Oregon than can be consumed here and as the surplus must be sold in the east the eastern prices, therefore, regu lata the local market. It Is for this reason that Portland prices have been on the down grade for several Jays, the movement culminating In a 8- cent drop yesterday. It Is likely, however, that the decline will be checked, at least temDorarily, aa the eastern markets have recovered in a degree from last weeks big elump.

Stock trading to day retained all of Its irregular and hesi tant character. Oils were the only impor tant shares to reflect changes in the in dustrial situation, reacting from early ad vances on further reductions in the price of crude products and diminished demand. Equipments and steels, especially inde pendent Issues of the latter group, rose and fell within a range of 1 to 3 points, except United States Steel, which followed a narrower course. General Asphalt was again the most conspicuous specialty, gaining 3H and lifting leaders to a steady to firm close. Sales were 500,000 shares. The financial statement of the United States Steel corporation for the fourth quarter of 1920, Issued after the "close of the market, reported earnings of $43,877, 862, against $48,051,540 in the previous quarter of that year. Call money was loaned at 7 per cent and the time money market was quiet with a prevailing bid of 6Vx per cent for the shorter periods. In foreign remittances, sterling bills strengthened, but French and Belgian rates canceled much of yesterday's sensa tional gain. The bond market was moderately ac tive, the new Belgian issue being traded in on the exchange at a slight premium over its Issue price of par. Liberty is sues were mostly better and the general trend elsewhere was towards firmness. Sales, par value, $12,375,000. Old United States 2s declined Is and the 4s advanced Is point on call.

The statistical bureau of the Interna tional Institute of Agriculture has Just is sued its December bulletin.' Estimates of the cereal crops for 1920 show no mate rial change in quantity. The quality of Canadian grain is reported as excellent The wheat crops of Argentina, Austra lia and South Africa, now in process of harvesting, were grown on an aggregate area of 102 million hectares, 13 per cen greater than in-1919, but 10 per cent be low the five years' average extent. No official estimates of yield are yet avail able. The grain crops In Northern India are still in want of rain, but elsewhere in the peninsula prospects are fair. The autumn sown crops in Europe and tn the United States have made favorable progress, generally speaking. In Egypt an increased area will be avail able for cereals, as it is expected that cotton-growing will be reduced, owing to the large decline in price. Between November 12 and December 10 all the Important rates of ocean freight for grain declined by 25 per cent to 30 per cent, while the prices for North Amer lean wheat were also rather lower, but exchange quotations were nearly similar to those of the earlier date mentioned. LOW-PRICED APPLES IN DEMAND Loral Buyers Looking for Cheap Fruit. Kaatern Markets Steady.

Foreign elHng, which apparently resulted from non-action of the supreme council touching a loan to Austria, had a bearish effect today on wheat. Prices cloBed unsettled, 34c to 4c net lower, with March $1.67 to $1.67 and May $1.57 to $1.57. Corn lost c to IHc; oats c to c and provisions 15c to 45c - Failure of tne allies to give favorable consideration to proposed monetary aid for Austria became public about the same time as gossip that as a buyer the Brit ish royal commission would be out of the wheat market until March 4. Other de pressing circumstances Included absence of any Indication that hedges-were beln removed here to fill French export orders that were said to have been placed. Bears put stress, too. on assertions that Ger man 'needs for grain could not be financed 'luring present conditions of exchange. The market tended almost constantly dew grade. Sympathy with wheat carried corn an oats down to nearly the lowest price level this season. A sharp falling off in th amount of receipts, however, operated somewnat as a check. Provisions sagged with grain. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: "Wheat Outside buying power was en tirely lacking today and scattered sales of small volume were sufficient to bring about a decline of about 5c a bushel. News items were mixed, including rumblings of exporters offering to resell, together with a report that the British would not be in the market for wheat of any kind until March 1. on the side of those advocating lower prices, while as an offset there was evidence in various markets of an im provement In the domestic milling de mand. Minneapolis quoted cash premiums lc higher and reported an Improved flour demand, with mills resuming operations after a long period of idleness. Cash han dlers generally reported difficulty in buy ing cash wheat in the -country, not only in this territory but also in the south west. It is apparent that the course of prices for the immediate future will be dominated by developments in export cir cles and unless there is a marked im provement in demand from that quarter lower prices are probable. "Corn Scattered hedging sales satisfied the early demand and the market later eased off. Receipts of only 350 cars today confirmed the belief that yesterday's ar rivals repr9sented a clean-up by the rail roads. Cash prices were lower with fu tures, though the spot trading basis was slightly better. Weather conditions are unfavorable for the movement. Cash de mand is good, prices relatively low, and the market In excellent condition to re spond to anything constructive. "Oats- Trade was small and fluctua tions governed by other grains. Cash prices were about half a cent lower and the spot trading basis about the same as yesterday. The opinion is being freely ventured that the March statement of farmers' reserves will show a " surprising disappearance of oats in the country. "ProvisionsVolume of trade was small -and the weakness in grain more than off set the strong tone of the market."' Leading futures ranged vaa follows: WHEAT. Open. Htirh. Tott. Close.

This company has been quick to recognize the national need for a general reduction in the cost of building con struction as expressed by the building industry, and par ticularly by the resolution adopted by the National Build ing Materials Conference in Chicago, January 21 and 22. The substantial nature of these reductions places Cor nell Wood Board on a basis that enables home owners and builders to proceed with spring construction, with every assurance of a rock-bottom price.
