Market Breaks Fronr Under
' With Foreign Weakness
.and Price Slump. '
iocai wheat values are . down 2c a
bushel today , on account of the very
sharp break afr Chicago and Liverpool
today and during the past few days.
Club Is now quoted at $2o and bluestem
at 84c but this is the extreme top and
It Is doubtful If any great arriount of
wheat could be moved In the Paclflo
northwest at this time and these values.
Continued deollnes abroad Is causing
export agents and'millere to go slow in
tneir buying and but little wheat is re
ported sold In the three states of the
north coast during the past week. The
fact that there la .absolutely no demand
at this time for port flour adds weak
ness to the . areneral market and may
force wheat still lower. However, those
millers who have already purchased
heavily, are of the opinion that prices
win go nack again.
Tin dull neon in the flour market Is the
theme of tho following from Editor Leo
Petorson of the Portland Commercial
Review:
"Flour trade 1s about as dull as pos
sible. Export trade . continues In the
same old rut; as the seller and buyer ara
too far apart to even try to get to
gether.) Prices are held very firm, ow

While it Is true that stocks are very
light in the orient It has no signifi
cance. The policy of buyers has changed
In this respect. The buyers abroad are
taking flour from loading export mills
when they feel that they must have

liRnd-to-mnuth always makes trade dull.
Murine hleh rrlce nerlods like the pres
ent, the consumer makes his purchases
go farther than when it is cneap, mui
ers hold prices very firm, snd In con
sequence no business is done, but at the
same time many or tin mills reDort a

to be light. There has been rumors of
a little shading in prices during- mo

Flour stocks all over the coast are re

With tho wheat market going as It has

New York. Jan. 81. Stock traders and
speculators were not greatly frightened
at what President JRoosevelt said in his
message today against corporation
abuses and speculation. In fact while
Wall street traders were not out In
force, tho stock market sent a defl to
the chief executive in the way of aa
almost general advance In value.
call money did not stirren, because
tho president spoke for Interest rates
ruled between 1 and 2 per cent, and
there was plenty of money offered. The
ireneral trend of the market todav was
dull but firm, with the total transac
tions during tho session 371,200 shares.

WINTER PLOWING -
IN EASTERN OREGON
Pendeton, Or., Jan. 81. The latest
winter plowing ever done in Umatilla
county has been done during tho pres
ent ..winter. Until tho ground froze up
too much to permit of plowing
on January 27, many farmers had
been engaged in plowing in dif
ferent parts of the wheat belt continu
ously all winter. Usually winter plow
ing stops about January r. The wheat
sown In this county during September
and October Is now several inches high
and the snow of this week is doing in
estimable good to crops and ranges.
