Oood Wholesale Trads for Bastsr.
Portland enjoyed a better Easter
Wholesale trade this year Ihan ever
before. While most of the business was
. confined to a email period, the total
volume of business was- very good, an
Increase of fully J 6 per cent being
shown over year ago. One feature or
.'.''this year's trade for Easter was the
buying of better quality In almost every
line. Portland sold ft far better-class
of produce this season than ever before
because that is what the trade wanted.
' Prices paid were nmong the best for
a generation; all lines being affected in
this regard. It was in the egg and poul
try markets, perhaps, that the best
" showing of Easter business Is noted.
The market- showed uinusually good
' strength during the past week or 10
(lavs simplv because everyone seemed
to' be buying. Northern cities were
very liberal buyers here of eggs dur
ing the entire week and in most in
stance they paid the top limits, ears
ago thers was considerable discrimina
tion among Puget Bound people against
Oregon goods, but this is fast disap
; pearlng.
. Poultry Market at Top Wotcn,
" While poultry prices- have been very
high all along during recent weeks, a
hh furthor advance was noted in val-
' n nnnrallv during the past six days.
1 JJeeeints of poultry were somewhat
more liberal than i expected, but the
trade was especially able to take care
of all that came and prices were, there-
fore, allowed to ascend even above the
usual danger mark.
. Butter Marks to Drop Monday,
There will be a general decline in the
. price of both city and outside creamery
butter Monday morning, ji is gener
ally understood that the price at the
start of the week will be 27o a pound,
compared with 29a today. While in
tome quarters butter f is cleaning up
very readilv, most interests have more
stock on hand than they wish at this
. time of the year.
" Wo Demand for Bops.
At the moment there is an entire ab
sence of demand for' hops in this mar
ket Even contracts are neglected at
So a pound. Eastern brewers say they
do not need additional supplies and are
therefore not Interested in values. On
the other hand speculators ciaim max
the brewers will soon appear In the
buying ring,.
. More Strength In Onions. , ;
Additional 'strength is noted in the
onion market, both here and in the
south. While the local market Is still
quite well supplied because moat of
the commission houses had been llber
ral buyers some time ago, receipts are
scant and In fact, there iB but little SUP- i
ntv left at nonntrv nolnts.
Potatoes are steady locally, although
there is little doing in tne souui
?rnwprn are not alarmed over the stag
nant feeling and are not pressing their
goods on the market. -
Brief Notes of Wholesale Trade.

NEW CROP WHEAT AT
A NEW HIGH RECORD
.
O ratten oa Wheat.
4 Chicago. April 10, James A.
4 Patten talked very bullish on
whoat today, and said:
"It Is simply a question of do-
4 mestlc requirements. It looks as
if European countries ftre going
to have difficulty In securing
supplies during the next few
months, and there Is a strong
undertone. , J
4 "Kurope seems to have awak-
ened to the seriousness of its po-
4 sltlon, which has been apparent s
for the past few months, and is
confronted with the problem of
4 buying Its supplies regardless of
A price. That it will have dlffi-
oulty In accomplishing this
4 seems probable, In view of the
falling off in the abipments from
Russia and the southern henils- 4
4 phere end the small amount
available In this country and s
Canada. With an acute shortage S
all over the world, It appears 4
4 evident that wheat will Join otti- 4
r foodstuffs and will establish
a higher level until such time as 4
production has overtaken con-
4 i sumption and reserves can be re-
plenished beyond the danger
4 line."

Chicago, April 10. July. September
and December wheat options reached
new high records today owing to the
many reports of crop damage coming
from th "American growing centers.
The May option was neglected a good
portion of the day but when it finally
became active, the movement was sharp
and decisive. It closed at a gain of
Uo'over the previous closing, but did
not -ome within c of reaching the
record price of Thursday when it wem
to $L2H. .
The December option was the wonder
of today's trading in the wheat pit. Sat
urday, uauailv a very slow day so 'far
as trading in grains Is concerned, proved
one of Uit moat active ever- aoen In
this market. Damage reports caused a
stampedo of short sellers in both the
(September and December options with
considerable covering likewiae in the
July.
December had the heaviest advanre
for the day and closed with a net
gain of 4?4.c,over Thursday. Septem
ber gained 3 c, July J 1ic and May He.
Argentina shipments for the week
were: Wheat, v 3.000,000 bushels; corn,

held responsible for the results. 1 The
report recommended frequent meetings
of the association and tha Hipbulldlng
of the business side of the assoclntlon
as a means of making it a nolltlcal and

Bruce Dennis of Bakef City submitted
a minority report In which ho strongly
opposed the proposition of the jmajorlty
of ths committee to raise ths dues, and
urged that the social - features ,nf th
organization "bs made more prominent. .
In ths minority . report Editor Dennis
declared that it was impossible" to ad

would detract from the dignity of the

prohibiting candidates for office from

receive less consideration than those of
