THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. , PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1008. i3 TODAY'S FLOUR MARKET; i STAGNANT POOL No Export : business Avail able Because Buyers Be lleve Market Will Drop. ' Front street features: -Btaanant export flour market Potato shipments heavy. Local onions lower. , J Ears art bald a tiff. Poultry aella at pries. Dressed meats are firm. I Balmon run- still disappoints. ; tarnant Xxport rioni Trad. Continued lack of business In the xport flour market la atiu anown an ovar the Pacific coaat Mlllara ara up In tha air and scarcely know what to think of tha situation. Moat of them, however, have practically abandoned the orient aa a field for heavy flour sates ana are beginning to turn tneir atten tion to Europe in, the hope of Belling their surplus. - M Editor Xeo Peterson of the Portland Commercial Review givee the following explanation of the present aituatlon In flour: "Business contlnuea vary unsatlsfao tory, and confirmed dullneaa exists. Ex port business la, aa a general rule, out of the queatlon. Prices are way out of line, and unless aomething unfnraeen happens mlllera do not expect to do very much export business on tbe old rop. MIIIb are going about half time on scattering orders from established trade. With poaalbly two or three ex ceptlona. exportera of flour have noth ing but the moat unfavorable report to make cn tha week's bualneas. Sel dom, If ever, have Buch unsatlafactory sales been made, and with auch a con tinuous period aa -of late. - Since tbe tlrat of the year trade has dragged long with no life. Bu far as the coun try mills are concerned, export flour trade is about aa dead aa possible. Buy ers show surprising Indifference, being 'unwilling to make reasonable bids; fept ror an occasional email or oroifn lot to keep up aasortmenta. They are influenced to a great extent by the de gression In the wheat market of the world. They contend that prices sre too high, and do not take into considera tion the fact that wheat her shows no depreciation In value, and that minera, to. obtain good milling wheat,-muat pay Heavy lor the aame. rioox at Cost T-rloe. Millers cannot selt flour at lower rices than what la now quoted, and rnaay. of them do not come out even ai these prices.' Buyera generally are waiting for lower pricea. apparency (They are letting atocka down to tn Iibimi Whan hv ntr the mark gain they expect to find plenty of nour orrenng. At me prmmi mua there are more mllla In operation than there is demand for their product, and It looks that nrloe concession will be m -t anlra later on. Buyers furthermore, aee the fine crop outlook and ruann that In a short time flOU ? rices will further decline. Mlllera. on he other hand, contend that prices will not go lower and that the fine crop torospect haa been fully discounted. If me marcel movee irvm im iiiotciiv ' It Is much more likely to go up than down, as the persistency or nour ouy mrm in irMnlm nut of the market, ex cept In the smalVat kind of way. la going to make neceanary their coming in lutcr. it aoes not appmt ui ym-c, whether high or low, have anything: to do with the present stagnation in the milling trade. It looka aa if buyera only will come Into the market when stocks are running low and need re plenishing. Potato Shipments Heavy. Heavy shipments are ehown tn th potato market. Practically all the stuff la going to Arlsona and southern Cali fornia with a sprinkling of ears to Texas point. This Is from Willamette vallev point. From eastern Oregon and Washington an increasing amount of business is shown from Missouri rlv market. This business 19 cen- tereH mnntlv In Kansas and Missouri, lthouah sbme of the other nearby states are buying in the far west. Cu Hnrnla himlness is fair again 1 though the prices offered are not high. rise Quality Local Onions. While tha onions which arrived from Texas a few 4ays ago were of fine quality and will probably turn out to be gooa Keepers, mo mamoi is eiiw oulto well supplied with home stocks that for quality cannot be beat. These latter are selling at lower prices to day because the aeason ror mem i rapidly .drawing to a close. Idttle Mohair Wool Moving. But little mohatr or wool Is moving In this market at tne present time. Buyers are not disposed to bid up on their prices and producers are pot over anxious to sell because they believe the can force the values nigner. as regard the buying demand, the same conJltlons exist in the east and in the territories this year's wool clip was old at quite material cuts rrom tne values of a year ago. A far as mohair is concerned, most of the producers are members of the various poo is ana wui await too rpru- lar sales days before offering their product Brief Hotes of the Trade. Egg market Is held quite stiff al though the trade In general expeots a inmnwhat easier feeline to prevail after K aster, This will depend altogether upon the arrivals ana tne extent or tne fnr&e- demand. But a small amount of eggs have been put away . here for winter's uso to date. .... Chickens are cleaned up despite the sjlower tone. Prioe the eame. Dressed meats of all kinds ara firm At former prices. Asparagus is very dull again with re ceipts liberal. Price along the street ranges between f and Tc a pound al though sfies of large lots have been n arte at loss. ' , , Run of salmon in tha Columbia Is tUl disappointing and local stocks are mall. Price holds at Do for ohlnooks. Front street sells at the following prices.
