Wheat Is Hot So Firm.
The prlii- of wli-at In this market h
reai-hrd such a state when It la so high that
1he exporter cannot make any liny and the
Bold la left entirely to the mlll.-ra. The. latter
rlaaa 4a now well Mooted with supplies aud
none of them are verr aniloua to buy at
Iireacnt prleea. Those who were 'abort a short
time ap and were paring- a premium over
the prliited quotation, for Immediate aunpliea
hare now withdraw!! their ordora and are only
nlllln to pily tbe market value and are not
very firm at thosu Bgurea.
' i i - Wheat Pool Turntd Down. V
'' A roport from Pendleton aa.va that a pool
f farmers boliti 40,000 bushels of wheat waa
turiwil down-by the miller-of that section.
The wheat waa offered at Tie. but waa con
Idered too high. Saturday afternoon the. Dyers
mill of that elty purchased 15.000 bnabela at
Toe and had 40.000 bushels offered It at Tic
which was turned down.
Flour Market Keeps Firmer.
J)epite the fact that the wheat market la
showing- a allKht weakneae fonr produeta are
lielng quoted higher. The reaaou for thta Is that
the price of wheat has shown a very largo
adTance slnee the formeV rise In flour values
and It would takeveral very lare slumps In
the wheat markeS befca-e flour valuea would
l affeeted. As yet there la no demand from
the orient, but local millers do not hesitate In
.Tins; that soma larger orders Br expeeted In
tbn near future. The loesl demand for flour
la Tory good.
Ho Poultry in start.
At present there to hardly any poultry In
the Front-street market and the call Is showing
an Increase every day, klrbonRb no rhsBges lu
'quotations are looked for ss prices In the poul
try line sre already a little too blgb to kep
lip toe normal consumption. Just why poultry
Is so srsree cannot be said aa the prleea offered
now are far beyond' wbat tbey oaually are at
this time of the year. Even the numerous let
ters and circulars sent out by the commlsslnn
honsea do not have the desired effect lu nuking
the arrivals larger. .-v

yesterday afternoon , and was unloaded ' this
morning. -
Potato Market In Ooott 8 hap.
The potato market here Is In good shape with
the dealers again entertaining offers. The
not very Isrge and this enabled the dealer to
make handsome profit on their Investment.
Tbey all agree that If the. shipments for the
next two or -perhaps three week do not be
come so large the market will retain it strong
tone.
Onion Continue to B Finn. ; ' '
Aa in potaloe, the onion market Is firm.
There have been quite a number of buya up
the country dt ring the past two or three daya,
with 2.25 as the top. Xante number of aee-mid-grade
onion which arrived late kept the
nrket from becoming higher. The demand for
Oregon onion from the outside is still very
good.
Last, freak Salmon Arrivsa.
The last fresh salmon of the season artved
on lsst night's steamer and will soon be cleaned
tip.. This will also be the last of the fresh
sturgeon for some time. Smelt is only in mode
rate supply, but tber Is enough for the demand
at present figures.
All Treeh. Meats Wanted.
The meat market Is In fine shape for large
"receipts wt all stock., especially small block
bogs. The arrlvsl of veal continue fslr but
still uriJer demand. Good mutton la finding a
ready market at printed prices, but off gr.de.

Cblnfo. March .2. Igaui ,& Bryan advise:
The wuiJHt market is 2 cents higher. Llver
peol did not follow the deellnw of yeaterday
here ami this steadied that market. Broomhall
csbles that thv tlrmness there wss mainly on
account of the strike In Argentine. The weekly
governiuept report ' Is somewhat bullish on the
growing whiter wheat crop. Not lunch ac
tivity Is repor'ed in the cssh markets and
they have only partially followed the futures.
The primary receipts are In excess If a yesr
m snd the clearances are very small. Too
confluence of general speculative buying on the
war hn. however. received something of a
check, and unless further complications follow
we are Inclined to think there will be two side
to the market. ',, ,
Corn is Advanoad.
In corn Liverpool showed. cent lower than
yesterday's closing. The market was very
active ana snoweo quite gooa flea I oi atrengtn

A bold ;thlef went 'through a number
Of offices in the Washington block at ah
early hour this morning, breaking open
desks belonging to Cohen & Bernstein,
the, attorneys; W.' A. Hathaway, a broker,
and S. W. King. A safs lh tba attor
neys' office was also opened, but noth
ing of value Is reported lost from any
of 'the offices, The desks were broken
open by the bse of flies, several ' such
tools being found in the three offloes
this morning. All of the flies . were
broken. Y ,
Ah Sing, the janitor,' said this' morn
ing that' he was awakened about S
o'clock by some one fumbling about in
the hallway. Sing sleeps on the second
floor of the building, across frorn" the
offices occupied by Mr. Hathaway. The
janitor said, that he . heard sdTne one
trying to flt a key into a doorway across
the hall. He started out to sea what
was the matter, when he heard a man
going quickly down the stairs. Sing
waited to see if the man returned, but
as he did not, the janitor went back to
bed. It is supposed that the robber
waited down in the entrance to the
building until he thought the Chinese
had gone to sleep, and then proceeded
to go through other offices.
Mr. Bernstein said that the safe that
had been opened was only half-locked,
that Is, the full combination was not
turned on, and that the stranger had
no trouble in opening It. Mary papers
were taken from the safe and scattered
about the floor; the money box was
pulled out, and several small articles of
jewelry were taken. A flat file was
found lying on the safe.
The office of Mr. King looked as
though a young" cyclone had gone
through it. Papeys wer all over the
floor, and every drawer in his desk
pulledv out. A bottle -containing nearly
$1 in small change; was overlooked. Mr.
King said that he never kept anything
of much value In his office over night
Lying on the window sill were two small
flies, both of them having' been broken
In opening "the desk drawers.
A large flat file was found on Mr.
Hathaway's desk, the lid of which had
been broken open, and all the drawers
rifled. Mr. Hathaway's loss was 15
cents.
The robber, worked almost noiselessly,
all the doors opened were fastened with
common locks, the stranger seemingly
avoiding patent locks. In the 'rooms
entered by the stranger were found a
number of burnt matches.
A $30,000 BARREL
PLANT AT-HOULTON
The Western Cooperage company is
constructing at Houlton, Wash., a $So.
000 plant for the making of native yel
low flr Into barrels. The plant of the
company at this place will be on of the
largest on ihe coast The company Is
headed, by President Eastman of Port
land and has plants at Seattle, Los An
geles and Aberdeen. -The company has
purchased an extensive stretch of timber
near its Houlton plant and believes that
thiere is enough timber on its land to run
the mill for 10 years.
W, F. Slaughter, president of the
TJregon Wood company, has Just closed
a contract with the cooperage company
whereby the flume belonging to the
former concern will be used to float
down the material for the mill. There
are 60 men at present sawing lumber
several miles above the flant and when
the rest of the machinery is In place
work will be started.
. The barrels will be shipped "Rnocked
down" to eastern jobbers and will be
manufactured In three standard sizes;
later machinery for making hogsheads
and all manner of kegs may be installed.
Oregon flr has been found to excel ash
or other wood for barrels and though
the industry is new In this field It has
been increasing rapidly and many new
mills are being planned along the north
west coast The new plant at Houlton
is but 28 miles from Portland and Will
depend to a great extent on the city
for supplies, workers and shipping fa
cilities. ' . ..
