"'.'" A further concession hu been made In the price of egg along Front street today. While dealer are Quoting out aa high aa 85o a doaen, too sales were made . above S4o this morning, and this Is con sidered the extreme figure. - While It Is stated that sales have been made under this,- the trade generally la of the opinion that California eggs were substituted for tho local product after being placed In Oregon cases. These supplies coat about 81c to land here, and by selling at 82o a profit Is realised, al though it Is not what the dealers ex pected. It Is now stated that these same specu lators bought up rather liberal supplies of eggs from California during the cold snap here, with the expectation of boost ing the local price 4o a height where consumption would be stopped, and the southern goods sold at a slight reduc tion from the forced price of local goods. This is an old trick In fact is even staler than some of the storage eggs being sold as fresh goods In some quarters. Price of eggs along the coast today: Portland Ma Ban Francisco ,...80He Seattle ..85o . As can be seen by the above range of prices It Is quite' easy. to substitute the California product for the local ranch supplies and secure a profit even at a lower price than generally quoted by the trade. The outlook is for still lower values for local ranch. Eastern storage are dull - at 28c for best. ' SMELTS STRIKE ffHE COWLITZ First Rim of the Season Appears; " Some Are in Market T.oday.

Chicago. Jan. 21. In wheat It was a quiet trade during most of the morn ing and It was not until the last hour that the sclllnar pressure became pro nounced and the break took place. Steadiness In the market at the open ing was largely - the result of Liver pool cables and that market appeared to be Influenced by light Argentine shipments to the United kingdom ports and a firm Friday closing market at Buenos Ayres. Domestic news seemed to lean a little to the side of sellers as northwest receipts were 826 cars against 293 last year. Northwest messages were agitating the matter of certain mills closing down tonight. The Information on this point was not definite. The trade seemed to lack tho active support of the big holders noted on previous days. - In explanation of the sharp break, brokers described tho selling much the same as that during the last hour yesterday, quite general liquidation by scattered holders, some stop less selling when Mav was forced under the dollar level and In addition, nit observers, though they deplctwl considerable wheat com ing on the market from the recent leaders on the buying side some of the selling was through northwest houses Which loft the principals somewhat in doubt. Corn Futures held remarkably well considering the late break In wheat The cable was a little easier owing to estimates large supplies of American corn this week and next week. Nothing occurred to give any action in oats. This market Is acting with corn rather than with wheat. There has been unusual selling pres sure In all hog products for some days past. This pressure of product is due largely to the belief in a larger supply of hogs later rather than to present conditions as the movement of hoifs to market at this time falls consider ably short of a veaF go, much of the time. ddsen; peepers, bell, 15c lb.: head lettuce, 55o dozen: hothouse. $11.26 box; radishes, 20o dozen bundles; celery, 6085o don; eggplant, 14o per lb.; cucumbers, $1.001.25 per box; peas, 12Hc: cauliflower, $1.15 dozen.

In riaw ef-the-larse' tiwwber tt un "A' employed men Who are in the Romagna region, iTemier Luizattl of Italy has decided to begin at once the construc tion of provincial and national roads, canals and other publlo worka - Old hops are finding a more extensive demand owing to the short offerings of 1910s and the higher prices being uuked by holders thereof. Klaber, Wolf and Netter purchased 20 balca from At. G. Smith at Aurora. The hops were of the 1909 crop. The 'price paid was not made public but as growers generally are aeklng from 18 to 16 cents a nound, it is believed that at least the former figure was paid. ' There are manjMhqulres here for old hops but dealers say they are hard to buy undor the prices quoted. The sale of the Rose hops at auction yesterday created much interent among the trade owing to the extreme values obtained. These hops ware purchased on a con tract by Isaac Plncus & Sons of Tacoma, from George Rose of . Independence at lOo a pouqd. They were of the 1909 crop and were kept in the warehouse at Independence for a long time and the overflowed river covered them for a long period. Many brewers expressed th opinion that they were not worth anvtbtlng bcause It would be impossible to get all the grit and dirt from the bales even after redrylng them. Some of the bRlea are said to have weighed 600 pounds. The sale included 72 bales to S. & E. Uhlmann of New York, at 6o and 127 bales to the same firm at 6c besides 128 bales to A. J. Ray & Son at 6o a pound. UTanoiBsu cnaner amendments wore carried, making $3 a day the minimum wage for laborers employed by the city or employed by any contractor on work for the city. . What Is believed to be the last car of the 1910 pack of silverslde canned sal mon on . the Columbia river has been made and less than a half car remains In the hands of packers, Theae are owned by Elmore & Co.. According to B. j; Stone manager of the estatoof Samuel Elmore, who was In thev city yesterday, this practically cleans up the 1910 pack and' the lot is being held firm at $1.60 for pound flats. what indicates the remarkable strength of tho canned salmon market at this time is the brtnelnir hark from London of a lot of Alaska nlnks to fill an order in New -York. It is stated that these supplies were contracted but the packers found that he could not deliver unless he brought back the stock ship ped abroad. This was insisted upon by the nurchaser.

Special atten tion will nrobablv be directed towards the New York city bond Issue, bids for wnion win oe accepted next Tuesday and. Judging from the reports, the sale will be a decided success with foreign ers participating on a larcre scale. Should such prove to be the case. It Is not unlikely that corporate financing to an extent not witnessed for some time will be conducted. Advancing tendencies have been 'gen eral aunng me nasi weea and aitnougn it is true that the demands for short Interest contributed greatly to the buy ing power, still the opinion Is expressed in good quarters that higher prices for Bpociai issuos are liaeiy to be wit nessod before the upward movement culminates. Developments in the trant and rail cases are receiving close attention with various theories as to the probable out come in circulation, and although at this moment, the disposition seems to be to wards the results as prospective rather man immediate ract-ors.
