events in the Portland wholesale mar-
kets today were

More hogs and veal come.
All creamery butter is now reduced.
Chinook salmon more plentiful. , "
Potatoes are higher. - . . , .
.Onions still go up.
The receipts of all kinds of poultry
continue very light and the. demand for
all grades is now so stiff that all ar
rivals are eagerly picked up' on arrival
at the top of, the market. The retailers

market quotation. ,

Alaska and this had the effect of keep
lng the market from slumping at that
time. The sound markets are not quite
so high as this market has been during
the past few days and very little stocks
went there. Eggs -were, selling today
from 28 to J 7 cents, with sales at both
figures. ..
Eastern Cora Heal Is TTp.
I
The high figures now ruling in the
I eastern corn market is causing some
uneasiness among the corn meal manu
j f acturers and they have made several
late advances of 6 cents a hundred in
their- efforts to keep even witn the cost
of raw supplies. Today all gradea went
up an additional S cents a hundred. The
local markets are affected by the new
lists.-

good at present lists. Block hogs and
small veal are .wanted as badly as ever.
AU Creamery How Sowa. ,-
The butter market continues its weak
ness with the receipts constantly show
ing a gain, while the demand ia in
active." Todarthe " manufacturers' of
extra fancy grades the 'advertised
brand announced a decline of 2
cents a pound in their former Hats,
making the present prices on all the
best butter 80 cents, , with 28 cents

' - Chinook Salmon More VlsnUftil. .
The arrivals of Chinook salmon today
showed a gain and the markets are now
running- with the supply and demand
about equal at present prices. Bteel-
heads are still on the scarce list but
there were no changes in prices today,
lng of lent has created a larger demand
and aa stocks of all kinds are none too
plentiful an advance would not be con-
aldered much, out of the way. Smelt are
practically out of the market. -;.

grades. Just why they are offering
higher prices they themselves are unable
to say. but it itemi to be the general
opinion that when war was declared be-
1 tween Japan and Busaia this compelled
those who had been purcnaaing tor tne
Manila market In Japan to look else-
where for their supplies and as Oregon
is now in control of the situation this
naturally has the effect of stiffening thla
market and-causing an advance.
Onloma Still Move TTpward.
The situation in the onion market is
quit different to the one In potatoes
inasmuch-as in this market there is a
real scarcity of stocks and the holding
by the farmer has caused even a greater
shortage with the usual result, higher

a man, that the idea of paying the farm
ers as high as three cents a pound late
this season does not look so bad to
them. Onion stocks all through the
country are very small and good grades
are worth the money. .

vise:
The wheat market is 1 , to 1 cents
higher. The largest advance , was in
May. Considering the conditions, the
advance was a steady one, and the mar
ket closed strong at the top. The trade
broad and the' bullishness of the
nrevalllnar sentiment Is notable. The
foreigners were unsympathetic' how
ever, but were '-. rather more active, al
though continental bids for wheat in
this country were sharply higher. The
action of securities of the'. European
exchanges still indicate grave apprehen
sion regarding., the .poitdcai situation,
particularly in. the Balkans. Primary
receipts wera again in excess or a year
ago. but the cash markets are every
where strong. The? cash wheat is well
held, and cash prices are at a premium.

DRY WEATHER MAY
AFFECT COTTON CROP
(Fnrnlahed by Orerterk, Starr at Cooks Co.)
New York. Feb. IS. Mclntyre A Mar
shall say: The cotton market may show
some further strength, but .reactions
will continue, though we hardly expect
a resumption of the low levels recently
touched. Weather conditions through
out the south continue dry, and tha ab
sence of seasonable moisture will soon
begin to be a menace to tha spring con
dition. It Is too early to consider this
of undue importance, but within a
month planting in Texas should be well
under way In the lower counties. The
Influence on the market of the plant
conditions Is not jet potent The near
future promises less activity in th
volume of trading. Careful operators
can more easily distinguish real valuea
by a cioae scrutiny or tne7 movement 01
the crop and the volume of trading in
spot cotton. For the time being those
Influences are in favor of the stability
of values, though with the approach of
the option list to a high level, we shall
advise caution in following the advance.

Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. 18. -The ap
pearance on the. Kansas City market
early this week of three loads of fat
steers, -each steer weighing close to 2.000
pounds, served to emphasise the change
that has taken place In the demand for
fat cattle In recent years; These steers
this week were magnificent specimens
of their kind broad and deep, with plen
ty of fat well put on. Tbey were the
result of long and careful ; feeding,
Salesmen and buyers gathered round and
passed compliments on the skill of the
feeder. The day waa recalled when it
was a common eight ta see such cattle
on ths market and when they . were
eagerly sought for at the highest price
for eastern cities and export trade..
' Could Hot Get a Bid on Them. .
:. But the eommlsBlon firm this week
couldn't get a decent .bid on the big, fat
Steers. "They're mighty fine,' but too
big for pa." was the way each buyer ex
pressed it New Tork shippers, didn't
want them, for New Yorkers didn't care
for the big steaks any more. Even Bo
ton. which used to eat the biggest and
heaviest cattle in the country, oouldn't
use them. The British, too, have
changed, and the exportera must send
only the baby beef across the water,
After all the medium grades had sold,
remained. They attracted sightseers,
but no buyers,
The owner finally decided to try tne
New York market with them himself
and ordered .them shipped. The highest
bid he received here was $3.25 for these
6-year-old steers, while the choice medl
um weights were Dringing as nign aa
$6.26. If these cattle had been sold two
years ago they would have brought $2;
more. The feeder in this day had bet
ter begin feeding his cattle when 18 to
20 months old. and' finish them in so to
120 days. He atands a better chance of
making money. j
Cattia xoeeipta.
More than 160,000 cattle were mar
keted at the five western marxets tasi
week, a gain of about 80,000 over the
total movement of the week before, and
10,000 more than in the corresponding
week a year ago. " The increases were t
Chicago and Kansas City. The minor
markets sustained losses. Over 88,000
were on sale here. Chicago received
over 72.000, against 48,800 the week be
fore and 6$,800 a year ago. The move
ment was larger than anticipated, in
view of the fact that there was little
improvement in the markets the week
before, with small receipts. While the
condition of the eastern freight block)
ade is not as serious as two weeks ago,
and cars in which to ship products and
cattle are more plentiful, the supply Is
not great .enough to meet the require
ments of the demand, and operations
of buyers was more or less hampered
during the week.
The unfinished condition of the bulk
of the receipts and the liberal move
ment in the face , of unfavorable mar
kets suggests that many feeders ara
short of corn, and" rather than replen
ish the supply at the present time pre
fer to ship their cattle in poor condi
tion. As long as the supply of baif-fla-
Ished cattle continues greater than the
demand, no improvement in prices may
be expected. 'Premium prices are being
paid . for well-finished steers, as was
demonstrated on the first three days of
the week, when the best sold at $6 to
$5.25, practically steady, while the short
fed medium to common kinds declined 16
to 26 cents. In the last two days, now
ever, sales averaged about 10 cents high
er than the low level Wednesday. Cows
and heifers declined 16 to 20 cents dur
ing the first three days, but recovered
the loss in the last two days and closed
steady to strong. Veal calves are fuUy
25 cents lower than the high time or tne
week, choice grades selling yesterday at
5.60 to $1. "
While the stocker and feeder trade
was dull and weak the greater part of
the week, prices for the best offerings
have not suffered to any great extent
probably 10 to 16 cents in extreme cases
for the best The storm during the fore
part of the week curtailed the demand
and there was less outside buying at the
close than last week. Choice grades are
In limited supply, but common grades
are plentiful and bard to sell at the pre
vailing prlcea. '
Receipts of sheep here last week were
18,800. against 18,100 the week before
and 1T.860 a year ago. Chicago had 10,-
780, against 74,000 the week Derore ana
74.000 a year ago. Receipts at the five

DREDGE CHINOOK
HAS NOT AIDED
Surveys just completed at the mouth
of the Columbia show that the dredge
Chinook haa done nothing toward deep
ening the water On the bar. In fact the
depth of the water there is somewhat
leas now than it was at the time the
official soundings were made last June.
At the present time the engineers say
the average depth is about 21 feet
Eight months ago there was almost a
foot more of water.
Since her arrival the Chinook has
been unable to work except! at odd times
on account of the rough weather, but
admirers of the big dredge were of the
opinion that she had been the means of
clearing out the channel to no small de
gree. A report to this effect became so
general that the United States engineers
concluded to make aa. ..investigation.
which resulted as above stated.
The engineers do not believe that any
permanent Improvements of the 'bar can
be made until the jetty work is strength
ened and extended. When fair weather
comes, they state, the Chinook will be
able to cut out a good channel, but with
out the proposed extension of the jetty
it will only prove a temporary benefit
as it will fill up each spring.
Sealed ' propooals are being aaked at
tha office of tho Vnlted States engi
neers for tlin removal of submerged
rocka in the rhiinnfl of the Columbia
river nenr Thre Mile rapid". Specifi
cations' and pinna for tlie work can be
