The principal events in the local . wholesale markets today were; . Feed prices advance. . Poutry arrivals larger. More meats are in. .. Bean market excited Developments expected In hops. Better demand for eggs. ' r New cucumbers are in. ' 1 - Changes In Teed. As was exclusively predicted In The Journal yesterday the feed market to. .day showed some advances. The' cause of this is that the feeding season is now In full swing and the ahort "stocks . of feed on hand. Bran advanced 60 cents a ton. while shorts went up" the same amount- The new quotations on feed : arer i Bran. $20; middlings, $24; short. $20.60; chop, $18. At the new quotations , the market is strong and further, ad. vances are not considered unlikely at this time.- Wheat Market strong-. The wheat market Is stronger on ac- ...-Munt-of the sensational rise of prices lij the Chicago market. Although the lo cal millers are not making any extenplve buys, those up the Willamette valley are making- every endeavor to stock up by paying a very healthy premium. Locally there were no changes In quotations to- day. ;; ,. ,..--.. .r -. Plonr Continues Healthy. ' The healthy tone of the flour market ' continues and the quotations are looking better, although no changes appear to day. .Local millers are now looking for fair demand from the Orient and If war t declared they expect the market to , boom. ... . Poultry Arrivals Inoreaee. ., 1 The high prices on all lines of poultry is having the effect of bringing in larger arrivals, but so far the market Is wen able to dispose of everything that comes at quotations around the top. The re tailers report that they are getting fair, ly well' stocked and by the last of the week they expect to have enough poultry . supplies to tide them over the shortage, If this" is the case larger arrivals in - this marker nexT week will have the ef- feet of lowering the existing quotations. This morning all lines of poultry were 'well represented on the street but all , stocks sold as soon aa they arrived from the express offices. : Quotations remain ithe same today, . . , .. Mora .Jieata Are" Oomla, There was a slight improvement In the arrivals of fresh meats on the street today but the supply is yet far behind the demand and the top quotations were obtained for all arrivals. About every line in fresh meats was represented in ,the arrivals this morning with the excep tion of beet wljtch do Jiot seem to find 'a large call. On the street The' quota tions remain at the advanced figures of "yesterday. . , . - .. . Bean Market Zs Excited. The local bean market was excited to day on account of the receipt of a mes sage from San Francisco which atated that prices on beans In that city were .showing an advance. -Ahortage in the 'supplies Is the cause. , Local prices are unchanged today. .-: i Envelopments expected la Hops, , Some developments are expected In the hop market during the coming week as dealers will by Jhat time have practic al!?; bought the entire 190S crop of the entire coast Sales at 2S cents are very .frequent and as there are only a Tew thousand balesmaining on the Coast unsold the time Is coming very fast for the dealer-purchasers 1 to ; show ' their i hand. , lo salt's are reported at over 28 cents a pound. Contracting Is going on steadily and very good prices are being offered for 1904 and 1905 hops. -.. , f: '.Better Demand for Eggs. ';c; ; Although the weakness In the egg mar ket brought about by the enormous re ceipts of late have kept a lage number of retallere from buying freely on ac count of , the fear of a falling market the sales, late yesterday afternoon and today were quite large and shows that the price Is not now .too high for general consumption. Eggsj are selling on the street today all the way" from 27 to 29 cent, with nine tenths of the sales at 27 H cents. - A few sales were reported today of first-clans storage stocks but the demand for this grade of goods Is nominal.

The market waa very irregular and naturally nervous. After an early decline. It was all regained on Armour buying, but it lost again. Outalde of Northwestern milling interests there la no cash, activity anywhere. The daily trade is dull and , professional. The world's stocks are therefore ;not far from whit they were last year, Imme diate action all depends on the polltlcsl news. - Apart , from this the situation does not look to us bullish. ... - "Weakaeat la Cora. The -weakness In wheat contributed to the one in corn. ' The edge is off the market and there was a good deal of scattered selling, both for long and short accounts. Local traders are dis posed to - play for lower prices. The cash situation is about a fair one in re spect to the receipts and demand: Po litical news la also to affect the mar ket. We don't particularly feel bearish, but don't look for any big advance. . . ' Oats About Unchanged. The oat's market was about unchanged. It gets quite a support from the cash situation.. This la affected less by the war news than other markets. The price, however, Is tod high to advise buying. . . . Provision Market Easier. The provision market is a little easier. Receipts of hogs are large and prices at the yards are 10 to 15 cents lower. There Is still a fair distributive demand, but stocks are accumulating rapidly. Pack-era- are marketing their product freely and the property Js In hands of scattered outside buyers and It la not a strong position. We are Inclined to think the result will be lower prices.

Kansas City commission : men - are incensed sgalnst the members of the Bt. Joseph exchange. Through the ailing; out there Is a Chance that the men who raise and ship the stock will benefit. Some' time a iso the, Kansas City, livestock exchange joined the national association, with which It never had been affiliated.' The national association, of which Omaha, Chicago.' St. Louis and other markets were members, started a movement In the. Interests of the commission men to floaway with the rrieat-trketandalxr to stop all soliciting by paid solicitors. , . This is a great expense to the com mission men and unless, the rule should be strictly kept, one firm would be able to benefit over another. Bald one com mission man: ''"" :. A Big Ezpa&sa. "My 8rm upends $6,000 a year ln meal tickets alone. This means that every time a man with stock comes In we give Mm a meat ticket, or as many "meat tickets as he wants on the hotels near the stockyards. In fact, we are forced to board all our customers while they are In town, and all the men they bring with them. Sometimes the expense ex ceeds the commission." Hardly j had the agreement been reached, St Joseph having signified Its intention of taking similar action, than St. Joseph wheeled about, began giving more meal tickets than ever and putting out all the solicitors it could find. This was to get the trade away from Kan sas City and Omaha. St. Joseph is a good-sised market and Ilea betweert Kansas City and Omaha. This so angered tbe commission men of Kansas City that they have made threats to go back to the old system, put out mora solicitors than ever and make special offers to stockmen who have been shipping; to St Joseph. . Heat lrtoes Xsower. The prices of beef and pork have been hammered down 10 per cent In the last few months. The cut has come as a result of the small slaughter-house trade that has started up in Kansas City and In the surrounding towns. The same thing Is true of other big cities. The combine has held the prices so high that butchera have found it profitable to buy from the small packers who have sprung up.' The combine to drive them out has reduced prices and the butchers nave been able to cut 'Tem porarily at least, the people are getting some good out of It It Is almost a certainty that Kanaaa City will become headquarters for the American Hereford Breeders' associa tion and that the offices of the associa tion will be moved from Cblcsgo within a short time. Cheap fodder -la a blessing to the cat tlemen this year in the central states. Kansas, Nebraska and their nelghbora are holding many thousands of head ot cattle through this move of Providence, when, if fodder were scarce, they would be thrown upon the market at tbe pres ent low prices. Cattle Beoeipts. There was an increase of 85,000 head of cattle at the Ave western markets last week over the week before and an Increase of about 3,000 as compared with the corresponding week , a year ago, I.OCB1 receipts exceeded 26,000 as against 20,850 the week before and 23,77b In tbe corresponding week lest year. Chicago received about 62.000 against 45.000 the meek before and 62,600 a year ago. The movement laat week, at least to the local market, was below what was ex pected.. The supply barely met the de mand. A Monday decline curtailed the movement the balance of the week, and in the next four days there was an ad vance of 25 to 40 cents. The close waa 10 to 20 cents above the high level pre ceding Christmas and 50 to 90 cents above the extreme low level three weeka ago. The top sales ranged up to 14.90. The stocker and feeder trade haa nuteted down . considerably, which la usually the case following the Holidays. The market waa steady Monday and Tuesday and jumped up 13 to 20 centa Wednesday and Thursday to the high level for December. Soma good feeders sold up to 14 and atockera up to 14.10. Stock cows, heifers and calves are in limited supply and firm to unevenly higher for the week. Veal calves, light weights and good quality, are In strong demand and 25 cents higher for the week. Sheep Beoeipts. Receipts for the week In the sheep yards were 8,000 against 5,925 the week before and 13.260 In the same week last year. Chicago had 73.000 against 43. 000 the week before and 77,000 a year ago. Receipts at the five western mar kets aggregated 108,900 against 92,275 the week before and 127.225 In the same week last year. Receipts throughout the West were small. The quality was generally good. The supply wss mostly fed westerners, with a few native lambs. Prices advanced 16 to 80 cents over the week before, or 40 to (S cents above the low time three weeks ago. Tbe market la about 10 to 16 centa higher than at any prevloua time dur ing the winter and the highest since last spring". High prices are due tb the small receipts. Choice lambs. Dotn na tlve and western, are quoted at $5.26 to $5.65, choice wethers, including year lings, at $4.25 to $4.75. choice ewes $3.25 to $3.60. Medium classes are quoted at 26 to 75 centa lower. Not enough stockers and feeders are coming to test values and the demand is ex tremely light. nV TOU METAL CLOSE. New Tork. Ian. 7.
