locted stock. ' Only a few cars of the
l latter remain unsold In this section..
, " Fanners generally are of the opinion
& that higher prices will prevail for po
: tatoes. and for that reason many ' are
... s gala inclined to hold back, Just what
-they expect to get for their stock they
are unwilling to say except that more
money will be offered after a while.
Notwithstanding this determination to
bold for an advance, lower prices are
gain ruling in tne souin. At can F ran

they have succeeded, but tbe work has
a yet had no effect upon the southern

EGG STORING HAS
BECOME GENERAL
Operators Paying 19c a Dozen
: -Storage- Men : Recover
From Fright.
Storage of eggs has become general
all along the Pacific coast. "
Receipts for the fresh egg market are
not so liberal and tne trade here is hold
ing firm at 20c a dozen for small lots
of candled goods. .
- Storage operators are generally offer
ing l9o a dozen for supplies landed at
Portland, and these do not enter the
trade at all. ? :.
- For a while it was believed that the
stricter government regulations, would
have a tendency to stop the storage of
eggs to some extent but after the first
scare the trade har settled down , to a
normal 1 basis. It has been proposed
that the government prohibit the hold
ing In storage1 of eggs longer than three
months, but the trade in general ex
pects - the measure to be amended so
that a year's time will be ullowed.
- In California - the governor recently
.signed Senator Hare's bill that provid
ed that egrs or butter held in storage
more than three months shall be labeled
with the date they were put In storage
when exposed for sale. 'This measure
la expected to atop the selling of stor
age eggs as fresh Stock by commission
men or retailers.

In shape for the coming growth.
'While at Mosler I shipped jut car
load of apples to Texas but the last
car to De sent rrom there this season
went to this city.".
Cherry buds are now coming out' in
the Willamette valley and soon the trees
are expected to be in full bloom. While

was ruined, others assert that condi

On the basis of export shipment the
wheat market here today is far beyond

here is about no traca oenvsry or o

below the highest price. Foreign inter
ests sre not keen to take hold, even at
the low prices. Ruropa Is still being fed
all the winter wheat need. South Amer

are the principal shippers at this time
and as long as the offering is free at

BIG PEOPLE
SELL WHEAT
Valentine and Armour Supposed to
Be Bears tn Chicago.
Chicago. March 21. Big people were
sellers of wheat today, especially the
May option. Closing was Ko'to lo
lower.
May wheat suffered from severe sell
ing pressure, said to be due to the heavy
short deals by Valentine and Armour.
While the market opened unchanged
the closing was a cent lower. July
opened c lower and closed a further
quarter down. September was unchanged
at the start but lost a quarter at the
end.
Forele-n markets were weak and ren
erai ly lower and this gave the market !
here its hesitating tone at the opening.
European visible supply of wheat I
shows an Increase of 620,000 bushels
compared with an increase of 164,000 ,
bushels last week and a decrease ot
1,118,000 bushels a year ago.
