The firmness of the market may be , imagined , when dealers them selves havs 5een offering as high as $ for supplies. While there are plenty of onions tn the. state, shipments can not be made at this time owing to the iold weather. Onion growers who have "cold-proof houses will not open them -until after the weather moderates and ' even were they to do so now it is un likely that anyone would take the -chances of shipping, owing to the-fear A'new'feature developed In the local onion situation today which may hold in check future advances here, Chicago commission houses -are now offering on ions to local parties at $12 per hun dred pounds f. o. b. cars there, which would mean S3 Portland or other Pacific coast centers.! i ; Potatoes Arm SHgnsr, Too. Tlie cold snap bus at last caused the r.ntato market to advance here, hp to his time the trade kept prices down, owing to the belief that there was plenty of stock available within reach of this market, but this was found to he untrue and today's advance of best Mtock to Jl.50Ol.JB per hundred pounds was the result. The future of the po tato market now depends upon weather t-ondlMons. Butter nice la Htia Back.

The wheat market was very weak ti-day but was most de pressed in nearest deliveries. There was a bearish tone abroad although with the exception of Liverpool prices did not move much one way or the other. Liverpool started V4d tinder vesterdav and showed a further loss of Hd at the nosing many. At Antwerp tne closing was at vest"rday's figures with the market bareiv holdine Its own. At home the market recolved its bad start from the depression abroad. May nnd July each showed a decline of li'c i7A Was unchanged at the opening: at 93 The opening was the only breathing spell the bulls received for the pressure to sell et that time was not great. The market drifted about lazily for a short time but suddenly became intensely wea,c and ctosea ft to 'l1tc under yes terday with the heaviest dec ne in the May and the lightest in the September aeiivery. James A. Patten last night said that the only trade-that he had made during the day was to unload a small lot -of coffee, and that neither he nor his brother had sold a bushel of wheat. This was in reply to the report that Patten was a heavy seller of wheat- Minneapolis reported that the smaller millers were doing a somewhat better flour business.
