Growers' Selling Price Raised
Another Quarter.
FEW SALES IN PAST WEEK
Orders Are on Hand at Uie Adranccd
Quotation Bullish w From
Texas Potatoes Also
Strong but Quiet.
The selling pries of onions w ad
vanced a quarter, to 12 a hundred, at
hipping points yesterday. This Sctlon
was taken by the Confederated Onion
Growers Association when It was found
that orders were plentiful and the
rowers were not dlxposed to sell at a
lower price. Only sis cars were dis
posed of In the past week at 11.75. A
ood many of the urowers are ready to
sell now at the X-cent mark, and It Is
understood that enough orders are on
hand to taka care of all that may be
offered.
The sales In the past week were for
local account and for shipment to the
Sound and to Ppokane. No cars went
south, as California still has some of
Its own crop, but the supply there Is
about exhausted.
Latest advices from Texaa are that
the crop of that state will be late. In
ferior In quality and much smaller
than expected. The season for selling
Oregon onions will therefore be length
ened. There are about 170 cars left in
Oregon growers' hands.
The potato market Is also firm but
quiet. Supplies In the country sre not
particularly heavy and good prices are
expected to rule throughout the season.
EA.IR FEEIJNO IX WHEAT MARKET
Draaaad Boaall aad Bayers Offer
The week closed with the wheat
market very quiet. The only demand
rame from millers and It was small.
The feeling was easier and the buyers
generally reduced their bids, but only
small lots could be bought at the re
duced prices. Oats and barley were
quiet and unchanged.
Shipments of wheat from Black Sea
ports for the week were as follows:

There Is an easier feeling all around
In the butter market- Freeh city cream
ery has been In moderate supply and
has cleaned up well, but the pressure to
sell storsge butter has weakened the
reneral situation. The latter offered
yesterday as low as 25 and 26 cents. Out
side Oregon creamery baa also dragged
with stock offered around ii cents. Not
much California butter has been on the
market yet as the price In the South
has been too high, to permit of ship
ment. The course of the local market
from now on will depend on outside
conditions. A general downward ten
dency can be expected.
Cheese has moved out freely with most
fcuftlnesa dons at 1H cents
The egg market was dull. Thirty-four
cents Was obtained In a smsll way, but
round Iota could not be moved at over
U cents and some buyers turned down
this price.
The poultry market closed strong.
Chickens sold at 20 cents and not enough
could be bad at this figure.

There Is likely to be a famine of
oranges during the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese always buy orangr heavily,
especially the large sixes, for their cele
bration, but this year they may get left.
Picking has been stopped In California
by the rain and It will be almost Im
possible to get fresh supplies here in
time.
Large slse oranges are scarce every
where. In the Eastern markets they
now command a premium of tl a box
over small sixes.
Trading In vegetables and fruits con
tinued brisk tip to the closing hour of
1 o'clock on Front street. The only ar
rival reported was a car of cabbsge.

Collapse of Wheat Prices in

Long Holders Sell Heavily Under
Cover Reciprocity Agreement
With Canada Helps Along
tlio Break.
rtnpinn lan ei. More than a cent
a bushel was clipped from the price of
May wheat In a few minutes jut De
fore the gong cleared the pit. Local
longs unloaded by the wholesale on
stop-loss orders. At the same time
Northwest houses sold here heavily. In
the opinion of some brokers signs
pointed to extensive liquidating by bull
leaders under cover. ' Gossip about
reciprocity with Canada was quite defi
nite, but official confirmation did not
become common property until shortly
after actual trading had ceased. Re
ports also regarding the shutdown of
additional mills In Minneapolis were
parried with denials minimizing the ef
fect until the market collapsed in earn
est. May fluctuated between 984.0 and
$1.00i, with the close 1H1C net
lower, at 98 Ti 0 99c. .
Poorness of both domestic and ex
port demand made corn dull and heavy.
May ranged between 49Te and-504
SOHc, closing easy. He off. at 49 ft
50c. Cash corn was weak. No. 2 yel
low finished st 4747c.
Oats were relatively stendy because
local receipts of the week were but
little In excess of shipments. Price
changes for May kept within He lim
its snd In the end was precisely that
much under last night's level, at 34 5c.
Weakness of the grain list counted
against provisions. The outcome was
to leave pork 7Hc to 10 to 15c down,

of 2U to 5c

coming in that were delayed by wash
outs. The usual Saturday quietness pre
vailed In tiie trade.
The demand has slackened up some
what In the past few daya and the big

give the market a heavy tone at the
opening.
A regular horse market has been estab
lished at the yards. Horsemen can now
consign shipments etralght through to
North Portland and have the assurance
that they will be taken care of In the
same satisfactory manner In which all
other classes of stock are cared for. The
horee and mule trade of the big Eastern
markets is of gigantic proportions and
there Is no retain why Portland should
not maintain a first-class market along
the same lines. The firm of Thomsen
Sc. Melnhorn, experienced horsemen, will
look sfter the new market. Mr. Thorrwen
was formerly a big horse dealer and
dairyman In Southwestern Oregon and
Mr. Melehorn followed ths business in
Klamath Falls. Or.

tation to the Country Poultry
Is Higher.
8EATTI,K. Wash.. Jan. 2L (Special.)
So many fresh ranch eggs were offered
today that the price sagged to 34 cents,
the lowest Quotation of the week. The
drop in prices at San Francisco to 28
cents waa al a bearish factor. Dealers
will not quote above 29 cents In the
country next week. The supply of fresh
eirifa did not clean lin today.
There was a first-class demand for
rioultrv of all kinds. The demand 18
so etrong that dealers will lift the buying
price of hens and springs of all sixes
to 18 cents next wees. veai ana jjum
cleaned up at top prices.
Millers were able to obtain all the
wheat they wanted today at 86 cents, and
considerable business was done at that
price. The buying was largely for local
account. Record breaking shipments of
flour will be made from Puget SViund
next week. Patents still drag. Good
timothy hay could be obtained today at
$23 with $23 the top. The market was
weak, no loss than 18 carloads arriving
today. Considerable Oregon hay is ar
riving. With five carloads of flrst-class bananas
In. commission merchants did a good
buMness In that fruit thlo morning. A
carload of fancy apples arrived from
Wenatchee. Sacked vegetables were
scarce. Outside prices can be obtained
for beets, carrots, turnips or parsnips,
Onions were also Arm. TJealers would
not be surprised to see the price go to 3
cents next week. .

Lower Range of Prices for Ameri
cans In London Bond Market
Is Less Active.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21. Trading In
stocks today was altogether perfunc
tory with a continuance of the recent
irregular tendency. Business was nar
row and light. The closing was gener
ally heavy and unsettled.
London sent over a lower range of
prices for our securities and the news
from that center Indicated an easier
tone to discount.
The usual weekly advices from the
commercial agencies and other sources
of trade information practically
agreed that the Improvement In busi
ness was sentimental rather than
actual.
An unexpected development of the
day was the announcement by . the
American Steel & Wire Company, one
of the leading subsidiaries of the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation, that it
had advanced the price of Its products
$1 per ton.
The weekly bank statement showed
an increase in cash of almost $14,000,
000. The enormous increase of $20.
000,000 In loans was probably trace
able to one or more of the many fi
nancial corporations In the course of
the week. Reserves of the clearing
house banks are still go strong as to
offset any drain on those Institutions
by similar financing in moderate vol
ume during the next few months.

INSANITY PLEA IS ABUSED
New York Bar Proposes to Liock Up
Criminal Maniacs.
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Jan. 21. A spe
cial committee appointed by the New
York State Bar Association on the com
mitment and discharge of the crim
inal insane has submitted a repovt, in
which it declares that the sham plea
of insanity as a defense for prisoners
accused of serious crimes has become
a public scandal. As ' a remedy, the
committee offers the following amend
ment to the penal law:
"If upon the trial of any person ac
cused of any offense, it appears to the
Jury upon evidence that such person
did the act charged, but was at the
time Insane, so as to not be responsi
ble for his actions, the jury shall re
turn a special verdict, 'guilty, but in
sane.' Thereupon the court shall sen
tence such persons to confinement in
a state asylum for the criminal Insane
for such term as he would have had to
serve In prison but for the finding of
Insanity. If upon the expiration of
such term lt shall tppear to the court
that such person is still insane, his con
finement In such asylum shall continue
during his insanity.
"Further, when such a verdict of
'guilty, but insane," is returned in a
case where the penalty for the verdict
of guilty against a sane person is
death, such sentence for the Insane
person thus found guilty shall be for
life. In all such cases the Governor
shall have the power to pardon after
euchMnqulry as he may see fit to in
stitute, upon the question whether it
will be safe to the public to allow such
person to go at large."
