TRANSACTIONS IN THEfFINANCIAL WORLD " 1 ' ' ' 1 " 1 - i ; " ' , ' " ' 1 i i r ' i ' 1 '; 1 CREAMERY BUTTER GROWING WEAKER KOTHHTO BUT BEST GRADES SEEK TO SE WAWTED, ASTXr SSpOHSS i ABB QTJOTED1. ZtOWEX EOCtB ABB WEAKEB, WZTB 8UCrXTXT ZULRO EB XECEZPTS TODAY. fc Front Street, Feb. IS. The principal items of Interest in the Portland whole sale markets today were: Eggs growing weaker. . . Creamery butter lower." Poultry ranges higher, .; Honey will be scarce. Smelt la higher. - I ' Salmon to advance. ;. prisons are going up. , . . Potatoes only steady. ' More inojuiries from Japan for flour. : "Wheat U higher. Cabbage Is scarcer. ' Orsamsry Batter Qolng sown. The. demand for anything bui tha very best grades of creamery butter is very small, with the stocks large and show ing an accumulation, . The receipts or the best stocks are about even with the demand, and the quotations In that line are about the same. Various prices are ruling' for the off grades, soma sales being made as low as 20c, while others were as high as 25c. The' best grades are Quoted from 290 to SOo a. pound. There is a large amount of eastern and California creamery in the market, and this causes the demand for local stocks to show a, weakness except at the lower figures' which are being quoted on the outside stocks, Tnen there is also a large amount of renovated ajid eastern tub butter in the market This class of goods causes the demand for local dairy and country store product to remain un sold. Some of the latter grades have been sold lately as low as 11c a pound. ' Eggs Crrowiag- Waaieir, '' ,'; ' There was a slight Increase in the re ceipts of eggs today, but the demand la now strong enough in this city to take about all the arrivals at printed quota tions. There Is not, however, so much call for eggs aa there was several days ago,- and a. further increase in receipts woVild have but one. effect a weaker market, and consequently lower prices. Today eggs were quoted from 27o to 27 toe a dosen, with sales at both fig ures. - There . is at present no demand for. eggs from the outside markets. The sound is getting -all the eggs It wants, and this keeps the British Columbia mar ket -well supplied without sending totnls City. - : ' ; xrt ! i; , .; Poultry Banges Xiffhar. The poultry market is very firm, with the receipts small and Inadequate to the demand. All kinds of stocks, with the exception of turkeys, are quoted firm, tha latter being in liberal receipt, with the demand rather smaller. Prices - to day on mixed chickens are about He higher. Honey Will Be Scarce, , The lack of rain in California, during the past season will be a -big factor in regulating the quotations on honey dur ing the coming season, The secretary of tha California Honey Producers' as sociation Is authority for the statement that .no honey will ba shipped from Southern California this year unlesa rain comes very Boon. M. H. Mendelson. a large California honey man.'Teports that the bees are dependent on heavy rains, and they must come soon.' The greater portion of Southern California noney is of the saga variety, xne aage Diossoms come about April 1, and the honey crop depends very largely oh the amount of saga flowers. Eucalyptus has bloomed well In Southern California this year, and in ' sections where this blossom Is available and' in tha orange districts bees will have an advantage. The oat put of extracted honey la expected to be very small this year. ; Smelt Is SviffHer. The receipts of Columbia river smelt ara still very small, and today the few arrivals were, easily disposed of at 8c a pound. Fishermen ejepect to have an other large run of amelt in the CowlIU If the weather should turn warmer. Tha receipts of fresh salmon are still very short, and the various dealers in this city expect higher prices to prevail dur ing tha coming week If conditions do not change. Higher prices are especially expected In steelheads. ' Onions Still Oolsr Up. Onions were , higher today. -Dealers out In' the country are now freely offer ing 13 a hundred for the best stocks. and. still tha farmers ara holding on. Soma buys of ordinary stocks- up. the country were reported made late yes terday, at 31.75 a hundred. ' Potatoes Jost Steady. Tha potato market for shipping is barely steady with 90 cents the very top of tha market for buying. The high prices now ruling in the San Francisco market and tha prospects of an early decline has caused some large shipments of late. The city trade for both pota toes and onions shows an improvement Wheat Za Higher. Tha determination of tha farmers and warehousemen to hold their wheat stocks for higher figures .has caused some slightly advanced quotations to be paid by some of the millers who are badly In need of supplies.' Tha principal call just now la for Valley grade, and as this grids la especially short, not a single shipload remaining unsold, tha prices are seeking a higher level.. Japan Makes Mora Inquiries. Again today were inquiries received for flour from Japan, and that country Is rapidly coming to "the prices offered by the millers of this city. At present their prices ara about S cents a barrel under those asked, but the millers expect to sell some flour, within the next week. Locally the flour market is firm and looks higher In sympathy with the higher figures on wheat.. Cabbage Za BUgkar. There Is a dearth of cabbage of any kind along Front street today and prices ara showing an advance of $2 per 100. Celery Is very scarce for tha good stocks and prices are up. Cauliflower la scarcer than for soma time and higher figures are expected. Opinions on Today's ICarkeis. ,. "W. B. Glafke company Second-grade creamery butter is piling up and lower prlcea are ruling. Bell. & Co. Eggs ara more plentiful: think tha market cannot hold preaenc quotations. '-idVv,.. v Mark Levy Co.

In wheat it was a broad, active mar ket With fewer evidences of general speculative confidence shown. Outside traders are accumulating holdings.. . The trade is largely in July and September. There seems to be plenty of wheat for sale at the advance today and .the trade concludes that the Armour holdings are being somewhat reduced. The foreign markets show i that strength and for eign buyers are bidding tnore freely for wheat . in thi country and prices are, ntgnor. we ara" still considerably out of lines with, those abroad. The -southwest reports , rather increasing com plaints of dry weather. Argentine ship ments were .large. Our visible, supply will show a decrease on Monday. The active market would Indicate that the buying confidence has yet culminated but it is. a nervous market and there should be sharp setbacks on which to buy, .",.'-;.-'.-.';."..; Vta.', Corn Was Hlgbar. Th corn market was to i cent higher. There were no special features In the day's operations except those which indicate a broad, general trade and a bullish sentiment Tha - cash situation is secondary. So far, how ever, the advance does not seem to have materially increased the movement from first hands.. The leaders In the market seem to be playing a scalping opera tion, selling on the bulges and buying on tha breaks. It may, perhaps, be sig nificant that it does not get back to the previous high point. Oats Ara Speculative, There Is not much price-making fac tor In the oats situation, but then the whole situation Is speculative. The ac tion of the market for the past week would indicate to us that the Patten holdings have been considerably re duced, but is partially reinstated at the decline. A good scalping market seems likely. " Provisions a Grade Xasler. Provision prices are a shade easier. There was free selling early by the leading packers on very large receipts of iOgs. The support still comes from the outside trade. The estimate of stocks howa-increa ses-lrr pork and af a "and about unchanged for ribs. We are in clined to -advise our friends who are holders of pork and ribs to prefer the July option. BROKERS' OPINIONS ON NEW YORK STOCKS (Furnished by Overbeck. Starr A Conka Co.)

The transfers or the eaat side number 99 and' those oh the west side 17. The total sales of property on the west'aida amount to $68,960 as against $44,314 on the east side. The gain On salea on the west side amounts to 324.146. Last week the section north of the Burnslde bridge on the east side had mora than half of the sales made in the entire city. while this week central East Portland has a majority.

Oaln la Wast Bid Permits, ' Something out of tha ordinary oc curred In- the building line this week. There were 17 building permits issued during the first five days of tha week and of this number nine were for tha west side and eight for tha east side. The permits on the west side amounted to $38,250, while those on tha east side show a tout of $7,960. Most of the permits Issued on tha west aide were for the northern portion of the T1 whlle . thoseft Tha- astaide were for central East Portland. This latter section of the city is showing the largest gains in building operations. During the week there waa not a per mit Issued for' large structures, but many ara expected during the coming week. The principal operations now in the building line seem to ba the erection of flats.' - Samuel L. Bro.wn, a local cigar box manufacturer, has decided to erect Urge fiat on the southwest 'corner of West Park and Yamhill streets, to coat in the ' eighborhood of $25,000. The ground was purchased from the estate of - Koawell Lamson and tha purchase price is not known. Tha deed has not yet been Bled. Mr.- Brown says that the flat will be 100 by 100 feet and will be three stories in height. Tha ground floor will be -divided into flats and the two upper floors into single rooms for lodgers. The building will ba one of tha most modern in tha city, and will have both hot and cold water in every room. Plats Pa tha Beat. "Apartment houses, , say Lewis A Lewis, architects, "are tha. best paying inveatments In this city. Any apart ment house within walking distance of the business section, will -pay if the building Is rightly constructed. It must have the rooms so arranged that the sitting room can be used aa a bedroom. This can be easily dona by building a small alcove for tha bed and during tha day time a curtain can ba drawn and tha bed will be out of sight. The kitchens should be arranged with kitchen fix tures built In the house. A dresser, a sink with cold water can also be pro vided. Then comes a table built against the wall with a hinge so that it can be let down when not In use; A gas range completes tha list of furniture. After these are provided there will be little If anything else to put In the; house and the cost tof furnishing tha house will be considerably reduced," ; DESTITUTE FAIL TO CAST A BALLOT A peculiar fact Is shown by the rec ords at tha offices of tbe county board of health and relief. Indicative of the lagging Interest in political affairs taken by those who have touched bedrock in finance. The large majority of those ap plying for relief do not register or go to the polls. ........ It Is shown by the records that in most of the canes the applicants have not voted for 10 or 12 years. Many young men whom ill-health has reduced to straitened circumstances have never voted at all. Among the active voters applying for county aid, the naturalised foreigner is always found. Not a single foreigner whose name is registered at the office of the board failed to cast a vote at the last election. Grand Army men generally cast their ballots. It Is rarely that one presents himself who failed to vote. at a recent election. , . AUtEOES VOBT-StTPPOBT. Mrs. Catherine Rolston in a suit for divorce from Lawrence L.
