RECORD MAY BE BROKEN
Total Holdings Iikely to Be Half
Million Cases More Than
Held Last Year.
The possibility of an unsatisfactory
storage egg season is beginning1 to at
tract attention in the egg trade. While
storage holdings in the Pacific northwest
are now 38,232- cases less than a year ago
and S-an. Francisco holdings are about the
same aa last year, the stocks put away
in the big eastern egg centers- show a very
heavy increase over last year, the excess
amounting to 437,8-3 cases at New York,
Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia.
In a letter to the members of the Pa
cific Co-operative Poultry Producers, U.
I. Upson, general manager, says of the
storage egg situation:
"Eggs have been going into storage at
an unprecedented rate and it is freely
predicted that there will be at the close
of the storing season fully a half million
oases more in storage than there were last
year, which wa3 the record breaker for
aH previous years. However, the slump in
prices expected in May has not yet ma
terialized, and it is now doubtful if there
will he any material drop in prices unless
the weather becomes so warm as to se
Sriosusly affect the quality of the eggs and
thus stop the storing of them.
"Tour manager now seriously doubts
the wisdom of storing a large quantity of
eggs this season. Going in at present
prices they will cost, including insurance,
interest, storage charges, candling, etc..
fully S4c per dozen "out of storage."
Bearing in mind that the average price
received last fall for our storage ergs
was 59.7c per dozen, and bearing in mind
that there will probably be a half million
more cases in storage this year than there
were last year, the outlook for a profit
able storage season Is very dubious. While,
your association came out of last year's
cold storage deal without a Joes, there
were, as you probably know, a largo num
ber of firms who lost very heavily and a
number were fori-ed into bankruptcy as
a result of their storage operations.
"To -be very frank, your manager Js
somewhat at a loss to know what to do
under the circumstances. Government re
ports indicate large numbers of unem
ployed in all sections and, of course,
where there is unemployment there is
lessened consumption. This in turn means
lower prices for foodstuffs. Furthermore,
the Produce News reports the arrival of
the first shipment of Danish eggs in New
Tork city. While this first shipment was
only a small one of 200 cases, it is stated
that It is only a forerunner of much
larger shipments, as it is estimated that
Ienmark will have a surplus of 40,000
cases this summer. In any event, it
shows that there will be little or no op
portunity for exporting American eggs to
England and Europe from this time on.
"Now that the weather is becoming
warmer, it becomes increasingly neces
sary to give better attention to the han
dling of your eggs. They should -be
gathered at least twice daily, stored in a
cool place, free from drafts, and delivered
as frequently as pOHsible. Remember, the
smaller the number of off-grade eggs
received at the warehouse, the higher
returns you will receive and the higher
the quality of the "storage pack" will be."
SMAIX TRADE IN WHEAT MARKET

Wheat trading was at a minimum yes

Ban Francisco Speculators Wait for Market
' to Bet-line.
The San Francisco butter market opened
firm last week with 92 score at Sili cents
and closed weak at the same price. Tues
day and Wednesday prices reached 35
cents, highest since the middle ot March.
The high market caused dealers to cease
torlnjr and also attracted large shipments
by express. This condition led to surplus
tocks being thrown on the market and
resulted in the decline at the end ot the
week. Most receivers think there will be
till further declines before the close ot
the month. However, the northern markets
are shipping butter to Canada and some
Inquiries for butter have been received at
San Francisco from Seattle. Storage hold
ings increased 118,200 pounds during the
week and receipts gained 194.025 pounds
from Monday to Friday. Latest available
reports show that Los Angeles and San
Francisco have 372,126 pounds more but
ter in storage than last year while Port
land and Seattle are 137,625 pounds short.
The Los Angeles market was 35 cents
Friday.
Full grass butter is beginning to appear
on me eastern markets and with its ar
rival dealers are turning their attention
to tne storing or butter. As usual, com
petition to get butter from the cream
eries has caused high prices to be naid

arrival, and If the butter will do to store

at all, It is being put away rather than
sell at a loss, which is often necessary
when the goods have to be sold. The only
thing which is retarding the storing of
butter Is the late season and the resulting
light production and relatively high prices.
Much of the butter on the markets still
shows the early spring defects which makes
it unfit for storage. There are some who
feel that the market will go but little
lower, but present prices are a little too
high to arouse much interest other than
for consuming demands.
Receipts In the east are showing a little
increase and it is becoming hard to sell
all the arrivals to consuming buyers. These
factors have kept the market unsettled.
Fancy butter found fairly ready outlets
and at times was scarce, while medium
and undergrades did not accumulate to
any extent, but were harder to move than
fine butter. Cars of centralized, despite
the increase in make, were in good de
mand. Toward the close, due more to the
unsettled condition than to excessive sup
piles, the markets became a little easier,
but unless receipts show a rapid increase
It fs thought the markets will not show
very heavy declines.
Present bearish factors are that prices
are higher than last year and that last
winter the weak markets indicated too
much storage butter. On the other hand,
receipts for the four markets since Jan-
uary 1 show an Increase of over 20 per
cent and the storage holdings the first of
this year were some 6,000.000 , pounds
heavier than last year. This was prac
tically all consumed in this country, in
dicating that it will take a big make to
take care of the demand if it keeps up.

NEW YORK, May 22. (Special.j Trad
ing in stocks on the first day of the new
week was again on a large scale, at a
turnover 'all above 3 .500.000 shares. The
first hour was conspicuous' for activity on
the execution of buying orders from out
side sources, Which were scattered through
out the list and divided among rails, in
dustrials, oils and some of the specialties.
Althoug-h there is an underlying opti
mism regarding the near future of the
rails i-n the expectation that no drastic
cut in rates will be made until some as
surance is given railroad management in
respect to wages, today's market fur
nished no exceptional upward movement
in this group unless the sharp rise in Erie
should be so regarded. The strength in
Erie Is more or less of a puzzle, but it is
believed- to have more behind it than pool
activity.
Trading in the steels and equipments
was on a larse scale, but these operations
resulted In nothing of an unusual charac
ter by way of advances. Midvale was
about the sole exception, with a gain of
two points on transactions of nearly 100,
000 shares.
The coppers were firm within a com
paratively narrow range. The oils were
moro active than at any time in the last
week, and toward the close transconti
nental was rushed across 20 on a heavy
volume of trading. Phillips, Petroleum
and Sinclair also were active, but made
little headway on the day. Among the
strong specialties were Computing, Tabu
lating Recording. American Ice. Stew
Art Warner and Railway Steel Spring.
Sentiment throughout the street is bull
ish. Developments in the steel industry
are considered encouraging. Copper prices
continue to harden, with sales - on a
large scale. The outlook for the settle
ment of. the coal strike and the New Eng
land textile dispute Is considered brighter.
N-o special significance is attached to the
rise in call money to 0 per cent.
...
United States Steel at 10254 was a new
high ground for the year. Steel had not
sold at this price since 1920.
-
Coppers are still firm on continual im
provement in the export metal market.
Copper for export is now held at 13
cents here and there is a disposition to
look for a 14-cent market for large lots.
Demand-, is exceptionally strong and Is
making heavy inroads into surplus stocks.
It is estimated that copper takings so far
this month jamount- to about 100,000,000
pounds.
-
Allied Chemical was strong and active
here in the early trading and worked
within a narrow fraction of the year's
high. It is believed that earnings during
the first quarter should show a balance
of about $3 per share or better for the
common stock. -
Equipment stocks in general are strong
as a reflection of the intention expressed
at the White House dinner of taking fur-
iher steps to put railroad operations on a
more eSficient basis. This is taker as
pointing to further purchases of equip
ment and locomotives by the roade.
Baldwin is working along steadily and
business is very good. However, at the
directors' meeting next Thursday it is be
.leved that anything but the regular 314
per cent semi-annual dividend will be
declared.
The quarterly report of the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Wester.-- -railroad showed a
surplus after taxes' and charges of
777,-558, as compared with 5,678,698 in
the first quarter a year ago.
It is reported that the basis of ex
change for securities of the National Sugar
company and Cuban-American will net
atockholders of the National one share ot
common and one share of preferred in
Cuban-American for each share of Na
tional held. While this deal has not been
completed yet, it is expected that final
details will be announced within a few
days.
.
Accompanied by the customary state
ment of consistently good business, Stude
baker advanced above 123 in the morn
ing movement. This might be considered
a new high because of the 14 per cent
dividend recently deducted from the
market price.'
It is learned that the 41,000 shares of
National Bank of Commerce, recently pur
chased irom two life insurance companies
by a local syndicate, will be offered at 2ti7.
Boston & Maine report for the first
quarter shows gross earnings of $18,357,
902, an Increase of .204,124 over the same
period a year ago. Net after taxes was
$1,753,140, an increase of $4,762,543. Deficit
after all charges was- but $521,861, this
making a decrease in the deficit of
"4,657,149.

New Haven, Erie and St. Paul continued
to lead the rail group here and much of
the buying of New Haven and St. Paul
is ascribed to a banking group, which

there is a disposition to believe that the
stock may touch 50 on the move;

HEAVY ARRIVALS AT CHICAGO
AND OTHER CENTERS.
Large Amount of Grain Slill Avail
able; Shipping Demand Slack.
Crop Reports Good.
CHICAGO, May 22. Although wheat
prices took an upturn at the start to
day the market averaged lower. Heavy
arrivai-a here and at other leading centers
indicated that the amount of wheat still
available was large. The flose was un
settled. 2Vc net lower to c advance
with May $1.33-r4 and July . $1.23H to
$1.23. Corn finished Vo to fcc down,
end oats off c to 1c, In provisions', the
outcome varied from 7c decline to a rise
of 20 cents.
Most of the traders in the wheat pit
gradually veered to the bear side, as the
fact became apparent that for .at least
the time being any gains In price would
be hard to maintain. Lack of any big ship
ping demand here, together with the un
usually large receipts and the continued
good size movement from the interior, all
tended to stimulate selling, which included
considerable liquidation on the part of
Lolders. Besides, crop reports were gen
erally favorable and It was predicted that
harvesting In the southwest would begin
about the middle of .une. An Increase
of nearly 4,000,000 bushels in the amount
of wheat on ocean passage had some effect
also as a bearish influence.
Decrease in the domestic visible supply
total was anticipated more or less by
purchasers of wheat at the opening and
was only of moderate help in rallying the
market at the last, especially as messages
irom the Atlantic seaboard said exporters
were idle, holding off for lower prices. Re
ceipts here today totaled 516 carloads, and
there were deliveries ot 38-j.uou bushels on
May contracts. Vessel room was chartereu
for 280,000 bushels to Buffalo.
Corn aad oats weakened when wheat had
a sinking spell.
Provisions were depressed by a drop in
hog values. May ribs, however, formed
an exception, being in active demand from
-shorts.
The Chicago grain letter received yester
day by the Overbeck & Cooke company of
Portland follows:
Wheat There was very little support to
the market during tha forenoon, but an
oversold condition developed on the decline
and during the last half hour early lossei
In the deferred months were fully re
covered. At the close those who have
been bearish for the past week appeared
to have less confidence in their position,
because of fears that crop damage re
ports would find the market vulnerable to
outside buying. Statistics were without
particular significance, the decrease of
1,633.000 bushels in the visible supply
statement being about in line with ex
pectations. Receipts at all primary points
were liberal, but cash markets generally
did not display the weakness which was
so conspicuous late las week. There was
little, doing in export circles, messages
from the seaboard reporting interest more
disposed to await a stronger turn In the
market than to buy on the decline. Our
bullish opinion is based on the idea that
foreigners will have to have a large
amount of the new crop as soon as it is
available and the demand will undoubt
edly be greatly accentuated by any evi
dence of deterioration to the growing
crop.
Corn Had a heavy tone most of the
session, but rallied before the close in
sympathy with wheat. Considerable liqui
dation took p. ace. based on reports from
-iownstate that favorable weather condi
tions had permitted of rapid progress with
corn planting. The decrease of 1,196,000
bushels in the visible supply was some
what of a disappointment, country offer
ings to arrive are not increasing as rapidly
as might be expected at this time. We
adhere to the belief that the after-plant
ing movement this year will not be so bur
censome and that strength will develop
as soon as this becomes apparent to po
tentiai buyers.
Oats Persistent selling by cash interests
and commission houses overwhelmed the
buying power and gave futures a decidedly
weak appearance. The cash market also
had a heavy tone with the basis Vi to
cent lower as compared with the futures.
Rye Trade small and market heavy in
sympathy with wheat. Contract grades in
the sample market were steady with sales
at May price. The vis'ble supply increased
146.000 bushels. JSo export business re
ported. . -

Who's Back of
Pacific Power & Light Company
What is it that makes the bonds of Pacific
Power & Light Company such good bonds in
which to invest your funds?
Not a high yield alone ; not dependable mar
ketability alone ; not the favorable terms un
der which the bonds are issued.
But because the future growth and pros
perity of the Pacific Northwest, in large
measure, depend upon the growth and de
velopment, upon the fundamental soundness,
upon the continued prosperity of this Com
pany. It is because the Pacific Power & Light
Company is engaged in an essential public
service that we can say, and rightfully, that
this Company is backed by the Future of the
Pacific Northwest.
And it is because of this that we can un
hesitatingly recommend this Company's First
Mortgage 5 Gold Bonds as a safe invest
ment for your funds.
