It la usual for dressed veal prices to show a slump earlier than this each year, therefore the present slowness of the local trade is not 'surprising;. While there were sales of extra fancy dressed veal as high as 12c a pound along Front street today, indications were that tomorrows prices wouio. snow a further decline. For some weeks the local market for dressed veBl has touched the highest firlce On record, and praencajiy an se ect quality has been easily moved at 13V EL UUI1U. Dressed Hon Holding" High. Dressed hogs were quoted as high as 12o a nound for select quality along Front uti-ftnt today and while this value was considered excessive by some of the large buyers, arrivals were not so ud eral that small butchers would not clean un the best Not all dressed hogs that came to Front street today weresold at tne top, or even wunin eigni oi il a large percentage of today's arrivals were of poor quality, and while values were good considering what the stuff was, buyers were not ramisnra ejQugo to be held up for exorbitant figures. The fact that hog arrivals in the Stockyards have been very small recent ly has been a direct help to the Front street market, for one is controlled by ine otner.

Evidence is multiplying that the price of wheat has advanced to a hight which makes further advances .difficult un less some strong bull leader is found who is willing to .take long chances of ultimate success. While at present there are some lead lng interests on the bull side, few of them are giving the market much sup port except on scattered occasions. Crop damage news will likely prove the grea( factor in wheat price making from this tima forth and althousrh Dar- tles in the southwest are generally giv ing out uniform views of damage by the protracted winter, still the trade has not lost its head and forced any sensa tional advance. News from Argentina Is favorable to the bull side of wheat as is the crop advices from this country but the trade is at present banning on tne nuge sup plies in the hands of producers as will be reported by the government next month.

FORCING SHARP ' RISE IN STOCKS Union Pacifio and Colorado Fuel Each Advanced Two PointsGeneral List Closes With a Boost. New Tork. Feb.' 17. Stock-market traders were on their mettle today, and all believed there was something of im portance in the air which was to devel op, shortly. Market closed generally higher, with tTnlon Pacifio and Colorado Fuel ft Iron making the greatest gains. Trading In the steck market at tins time is confined almost exclusively to the professional clique, end therefore it Is to be presumed that a strenuous ef fort Is About to be made to awaken the public' Interest in securities. Spirited advances, steadily made. have been used as bait with consider able success" before, and therefore from recent developments it begins te look as this will be the method employed in the present Instance. ' Professionals took two leading shares today, one from the Industrial and one from tne railroad camp, and put eacn two points higher. The shares were Union Pacific and Colorado Fuel. While quite fair advances were shown In the general list, none were over point with the exception of the two list ed above. Regular dividend was declared today on the preferred shares by the directors of Republic Iron & Steel. Summary of Wall Street. .Wall.

Bay Wheat on Anticipation. Anticipation of a better demand for wheat from the- outside has caused a small amount of business to pass in the local market and yesterday afternoon a local concern purchased 600 tons of red for April delivery at $1.06 a bushel. The price of wheat Is generally about a cent lower here although some Inter ests are still offering old figures for a limited supply. Some offering Is reported by pro ducers becaifxe of tax time, which comes March 1, and this Is the reason why buyers have In many Instances reduced their bids a fraction. There Is a slow but steady Increase In the use of smoked whale meat for food In Germany. EJL-J- - . , . . 1 . Portland Union Stockyards, Stock- dale, Feb. 17.
