"'.'" 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.
The first run of smelts In the Cowllta

tered the Portland trade. -Sales are be
ing made at 16c a pound. Halibut re
mains high at 1214c a pound for fresh
stock but this is really low when the
northern price Is given.

Sharp Break Occurs During Late
Trade Mills Agitating Closing.
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.

OLD HOPS FIND A
GOOD
DEMAND
Growers Holding Out for 13
15c Pound; Redried Stock
Sells High.
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. Tho W snM i (1 rK

FINANCE LOOKING
TO SALES OF BONDS
New York, Jan. 21, Little signifi
cance was attached to the fluctuations
during today s session. Special atten

the New York city bond Issue, bids for

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

it is true that the demands for short
Interest contributed greatly to the buy

in good quarters that higher prices for
Bpociai issuos are liaeiy to be wit

culminates.
Developments in the trant and rail
cases are receiving close attention with
various theories as to the probable out

Foreseeing misery , for tb Unite
States unless the tariff la repealed. IL
D. Wagno'n spoke for free trade at the
debate of the Jackson club on "Free
Trade , vs. Tariff for Revenue Only,"
which wag held last night In the con
vention hall of the Medical building.
Speakers, in addition to Mr. Wagnon,
were R. E. McKay and A. D. Crldge for
free trade, and P. GWhltten, Dr. A. O.
Bettman and O. W. Allen for a tariff
for revenue only.
Mr. Wagnon opened the debate. He
satd that economists over all the world
called the American people fools for
sWdenlng themselves with a tariff, ile
said that the continuance of the repub
lican form of government in the United
States depended upon the repealing! of
the tariff. '
Mr. McKay said the tariff took morjey
out of' the pocket of the poor man and
gave it to the rich. He asked why and
how It could be Just for home manufac
turers to sell their goods in foreign
countries more cheaply than at home.
At one time the debate waxed exciting
and speakers rose from the audlwg ta
declaim. Among thenv were J. Heti
nessy Murphy, J. B Carr and C 1.
Daggett. I v .',
O. W. I Allen anfl Mr. Wagnon , hn t

pose a direct tax upon the atatea, uni t
the constitution would not permit It. Air.
Wagnon produced the eortstltutlon. -
