A number of condensed mlllc plants have reopened In this section and canned milk Is being offered to the trade at unchanged prices. In the east as well aa here the market continues quiet. Over 50 plants throughout the country are reported to be temporarily closed. Considerable butter from condenseries whi&h are accepting milk, skimming It. and returning toe skim to factories was received at the targe markets during Jan uary, although the quantity seems to have fallen off toward the last of the month. Some cheese has also been seen on the markets. The outstanding feature of the month lvas the reduction In the oost of milk. The January averajye- for the United States as paid by factories manufacturing both case and bulk goods was $2.13 per 100 pounds, which compared with J2.44 In De cember. It Is Interesting to note that this price la 1 36 lower than January. 1020. Lowest prices were reported m the. Pacific northwest and highest prices from New Tork, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A number of condenseries resumed opera tions on February 1, and it is said that further reductions in haying prices will occur. Statistically, the situation appears some what improved in certain respects. Total 4ocks January 1 were some 38,000.000 pounds lighter and unsold stocks 26.000. 00 pounds lighter than December 1. Some manufacturers whose stocks were light re ported that they were ample for imme diate needs, but that they would be short If Jobbers were buying normal amounts. Unfilled orders were reported as amount ing to practically nothing. Export buslnom rn December showed some Improvement over November, especially on evaporated milk, over 3.000.000 pounds going to Ger many alone, and total exports being 2.000,000 pounds heavier.

There has been more activity In the po tato market In the past few days and buyers have purchased a fair number of cars for shipment south, paying growers SI. 2.) at common points. In the local job brng market no Improvement Is seen. The potato market season in Idaho Is slowing down rapidly after the heavy shipments of the past three weeks. Bus! ness would be stagnant were not money at such a premium that some growers are continuing to sell at present prices. Tr the past, whenever Rurals dropped to a price of 50 cents per 100 pounds, growers nave stopped hauling and have begun to feed them to livestock. They have always considered potatoes were worth more than 50 cents for feed. This season, on ac count of the financial stringency, the low prices of other feeds and the depression In the livestock market, there is still a small selling movement of potatoes that probably will persist even though prices become lower. A few growers are reported reeding potatoes to livestock but the prac tice has not become general aa yet. J.UVtEK TRICE IS BID 1 OB EGGS Dealers Believe Market Is Xesr Bottom Poultry Firmer. Prices must be getting down close to Bottom. Buyers paid 25920: for current receipts yesterday and a la.-g buyer an rounced that his country bids for today's receipts would be 23 cents, delivered Port land. It has been figured that, the mar ket might settle at the bull of 30 cents Chicago and it is around that point now. Jobbing business was of fair size with stlecta selling at 34 cents and candled ranch at 32 cents. There was firmer feeling in the poultry market, where hens sold at 2428 cents, according to size. There was little other pcultry on the market. Dressed veal held at 19 cents, but aa re ceipts increased, a slight dtciine is expected- Pork, was easier t ISJjlSftc Retailers declined to consider bogs weigh ing over 140 pounds. ADVANCE r LOCAL BUTTER TODAY Prints Will Bo Two Cents Higher and Cream will Also More Up. A 2-cent advance in butter today is scheduled or the local market. Prints will sell in box lots at 47 cents for parch ruent wrapped and 48 cen'j for cartons.

Call Money Rates Relax to Lowest Point In Weeks Foreign Exchange Irregular. NEW TORK, Feb. 9. The, stock market today fulfilled in moderate measure its promise of greater strength and activity. as indicated by tne vigorous rebound late yesterday. Aside from relaxation of rates for call money, no visible change occurred In the factors which have held the market In check. There was a feeling in speculative quarters, however, thai technical condi tions temporarily favored the longs. Adoption of the Winslow bill by the house, implying partial compensation of claims by the railroads against the gov ernment, failed to stimulate more than an intermittent inquiry for representative transportation shares. Cumulative signs that the steel Industry is near a price readjustment gave Impetus to Issues of that character. Including rail way equipments, but improvement in those shares was variable and hesitant at best. As a group, oils again monopolized the bulk of speculative attention. Pools were active In General Asphalt. Mexican Petro leum and kindred shares, further down ward revision of prices for the raw and refined products evidently being interpret ed as bullish influences. Highest prices were recorded In the final hour, but the market reversed at the first indications of profit-taking In such Issues as Crucible steel and Mexican Pe troleum, an easy tons ruling at the close. sales were 40.000 shares. All call loans were made at 7 per cent. the lowest uniform rate in many weeks- Foreign exchange was confused, dealers reporting little business save in sterling and French francs. Liberty issues and the bond market eased variably on very small dealings, new offerings also reacting. Sales, par value, 3!,I2u,0UU. CLOSTNO STOCK OITOTATIONS. lasi Sales. High.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. Disparagement of talk about crop damage from green bugs In the southwest tended to make wheat prices today average . lower.- The market fluctuated rapidly and closed nervous at net declines of c to c; oats c to c and provisions 5c to 12c. Numerous messages making light of re ports about green bugs led to profit tak ing by many of yesterday's wheat buyers and caused an early decline. It was said to be premature yet to take sucn reports aa serious. Buying later that was at tributed to eastern shorts and to the northwest brought about a sharp upturn in connection with predictions of a gen eral strike in Argentina and with signs that domestic millers were having some difficulty in obtaining supplies. The ad vance, however, appeared only of intermit tent character, selling pressure having broadened toward the last and causing a fresh setback. Corn and oats paralleled wheat. Bears put special strength on the increasing stocks of com and on the absence of ur gent demand. Weakness in hogs had a depressing ef fect on provisions. ,f The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke Co. of Portland said: Wheat It was an erratic market throughout the session and although the tendency was lower, the short-covering movement of yesterday was resumed from time to time and caused numerous sharp rallies. News items were generally con ducive to bearishness, especially those touching on the foreign situation telling of other countries offering grain to Eu rope at lower prices than America. From all appearances Great Britain has more wheat on hand than necessary as they are selling both wheat and flour on credit to central Europe. Country offerings were reported light and the milling demand fairly good in the southwest, but smaller northwest. Texas and Oklahoma authori ties reported green bug stories greatly ex aggerated. The Improved domestic situa tion is overshadowed by the reverse posi tion of wheat elsewhere. We believe ad vances from this level will be difficult to maintain. 1 Corn Displayed an undercurrent of weakness and responded feebly to the up turn In wheat. P.eceipts today were com naratlvelv small and cash sold on a firm basis. This factor, however, cannot be considered particularly significant, simply reflecting a spasmodic demand which is far overshadowed by tne prospect 01 con tinued liberal supplies. Stocks are piling up rapidly at all terminate and becoming a drug on the market. From a feeding view point corn is worth more money but there is so much ot it avanaoie ior conmitrumi nurDost-s over and above feeding require ments that a sustained advance in prices Is Improbable. Oats Followed com and wheat with profit taking by longs a feature. While this market is in a position to respond to constructive development, there will no doubt be plenty of weak spots In sym pathy with corn where purchases can be made. Provisions Ruled weak and lower on grain weakness and lower hog prices. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. Mar..

Wool Slay Be Woven Into Cloth and Retailed to Eliminate Mid dlemen's Profits. - BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 9. (Special.) Idaho woolgrowers propose to take the wool clipped from their sheep, and now etored in warehouses, have it woven into cloth and the cloth made into suits, blankets, etc, which can be sold direct to the public, thus elim inating; the middlemen entirely. Hugh Sproat,' president of the Idaho Wool Growers' association of this state, is one of the leaders in the movement. While in Chicago recently. Dr. Gardner' of Anaconda visited the warehouse where most of the western clip Is stored to ascertain what the chances were for moving- the wool. He was Informed there would likely be no movement for months. On re turning home, he found his wife had purchased some cloth to make their daughter a dress. It cost $16. A suit for their son cost $65. On examina tion he found the cloth to be nothing but felted shoddy. He decided to get some of the etored wool in the Chi cago storehouse woven into cloth and made into suits. He found that an all-wool suit could be delivered to the wearer for $38, which is consid- ered reasonable both to the consumer and to the wool grower. Now the Montana growers intend to manufac ture their own wool into cloth, and the Idaho growers propose to follow in their footsteps. : LOOT PUT- AT $100,000 Shoplifting; Ring in Five BigXorth west Cities Accused.
