"Porced to make an equal basin In sugar prices for Idaho points by com petition of eastern sugar interests. Pa cific coast refineries are today charg ing 85c per hundred pounds more for sugar for delivery to Oregon and Wash-, ington than they are for delivery at a longer distance In Idaho. The discrimination against the con sumers of the two coast eta tee was fur ther widened the past week when refin ers made a cut of 15c per hundred to Idaho sugar -values. Formerly the dis crimination against tidewater was fOc, so this made the royalty 65c for living In a section where there was no competition. Before the easterners ar rived in the Idaho territory the dis crimination was only 10c per hundred founds this difference being caused at hat time by the influence of beet sugar competition and not to any outside In fluence. That every move of the coast refin eries Is Instantly known to their so called competitors la shown when "one ef Inerv, makes a change In values, simi lar action IS taken by the other grind ers so that practically at all times In recent years Pacific roast refiners have announced uniform values. That the eastern grinders can secure a large per cent of their raw sugar from the Hawaiian islands, ship it all tho way to the Atlantic ports for manu facture, - then ship to Idaho with Its consequent heavy freight charge and still sell sugar 65c per hundred pounds lower than our coast refineries can do, with their leaner expense, is almost un believable. Still It Is a fact. TURKEY PRICE GOES SO HIGH ; THAT CONSUMPTION WILL BE CUT journal Turkey Bulletin. . At Wholesale- i ; Per Lb. .

Alreadv . the market has reached 24e a pound for fancy dressed stocks In tho Front street market, but this is about the limit because beyond. that price the cost at retail will be so high that It will only take limited sup plies to fpd the demand, v With dressed turkeys at 24c or pos sibly 25c for the best stock at whole sale It Is impossible for retailers to sell and deliver supplies,' pay their big rents and other expenses under 30a or possibly 86c a pound, and this price is rather excessive for the public to pay. Therefore It can now be said that if the supplies are at all liberal there will be more than plenty to go around and this will hurt the price. At such prices' as are now In effect the consumption Is so small that he ivy arrivals would wreck quotations.

' For'. tha ffrst time" In ithe his tory of Portland as a grain port Mexican millers are buying large supplies -of wheat in this terri tory. , The great shortage in toe wheat crop of Mexico the past season has caused a famine in supplies of bread there because of the high import duty on wheat.which up to this time has practically kept foreign supplies out of the Mexican markets. Now to avert a famine the Mexican government has for a .limited time cut the duty on wheat in, 4 half '? and this accounts . for Mexico's actlvfty in -wheat buy ing throughout the Pacific north- 4 west , and in Canada. Great strength w displayed by the coars strain markeU bars . during the past week. Both the cash demand and futures showed an Improved feeling and several fair sised sales of both oats and barley were made on the board of trade at advanced prices. The better tone for coarse grains In California and the fact that supplies available for market at primary points are quits small and most of these are tn uuusually strong hands has helped the buying considerably. Wheat held very firm here during th week, prices on. both cash and future deliveries, being strong at about umhni figures. 1 J- i The tone ef the export flour market remains very flu let and a holiday tone jw.'vaila In the local demand. The hay market shows the greatest etrentrth ct the present aacn, and the cumin cf t'e cold smP the preeertt '".'rend fK'ciHng In the -country, and this brought about a great decrease In tha arrivals here.

New Vork. Dec. 19. Sobered by the discovery that Canadian Pacific invaded New Tork city, demanding a share of freight which the other railroads are compelled to let It have, on account of Its superior position in regard to the mileage and capitalisation, the Wall street rahlers paused today. Word was passed out from hlgit plares to stop smashing and get th market quiet again. This was addressed particularly to those who have been building one smelter In Utah and a string of them on the ticker tape. Smelters stock recov ered still further and the Harrlman shares became a tower of strength. Careful consideration of the Canadian Pacific development has led conserva tive oanKers to a belief that It will not disturb the stock market very much at present. A pretense Is going to'be made by the other railroads of disciplining the New Haven. A Wall street under- sianas inai ine New Haven wonld not dare let tha Canadian Pacific Into New York a a cut rate proposition without the Clonal consent of J. Plerpont Morgan and E. H. Harrlman. Morgan is compelled to let Canadian Pacific in if .1 wains ucome. Because refusal to do so would demoralize the northwestern .8lluai,on.'

With a trade that Is fast Increasing a smaller number of hogs by far are being raised here, While the total-number of hogs held in the state has been slightly In creased during the past two years the Increase Is small tn comparison with the increasing demand and this ts what forces the packers for their, own pro tection to bring in a larger number of hogs from Nebraska and other points each season to run their plants. - ' How to Increase Holdings- ' 1 With hog price here the highest- In the entire country and with quotations profitable to producers from every point of view, the producers of this section have been very slow in adding to.thett hog holdings and this Is why entire tralnloads of hogs are annually brought from east of the Rocky mountains, to fill the nfced of oackers. Instead of being able to Increase' ihelr output of packed meats from the supplies of hogs offered by local people the packers are forced to utilize eastern hogs for most of their operations. Hog prices here advanced again early In the week but today there was a drop Af iar the first for some time be cause hogs could be brought In from Nebraska points at a cheaper rate, qual ity for qualltv.
