An advance of 40c a -case was forced in the price of canned milk this morn ing. Tne advance was quoted by the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk company for its lOo size, while a rise of 20c be came effective in the 6c goods at the same time. This places both the So and 10c size at $4 a case, an unusual oc currence. The rise In canned milk prices this, morning was forecast some time ago by the action of the Borden Milk company in putting ts prices to a higher basis. The great scarcity of milk offerings, due to the extended dry period has lefjt canners without sufficient supplies to fill their trade's wants. For that reason alone an advance was forced. The scarcity of milk has likewise af fected the price of the raw material and with cheese and butter Interests bid ding more money It was op to the con densates to forpe their bids higher, too. Further advances in canned milk are anticipated by the trade In general. l$Ho lb; perch, 708e; tomcod, 8o: lob sters, 25o; herrings.

While there was a run of livestock in the North Portland yards today, not a single head was available for the trade. The 663 head of hogs that came forward, were from Nebraska, and were consigned to local packing interests. The sheep that put in appearance, did not tarry In the yards long but were en route to Idaho. There was further liquidating influ ence In the swine trade at Omaha today. Influenced by the Interview with Cud ahy, who forecasted another $5 hog market there, there was a loss of 6 to 20c In the price which put the tops down to $7.65, making the landing price $7.65 at Pacific Northwest points. The drop at Omaha was natural in view of Cudahy's remarks, but the greater run than usual had Its effect on the Saturday's trade there. Cudahy Is especially strong at Omaha and while his remarks would have an extremely bearish influence there they might not so seriously affect hog trade conditions elsewhere. There is a report that the Omaha packer has been short on the market for some time and his interview was taken as a help to force profits Instead of losses his way. North Portland swine market: Select light hogs $ 8.16 Medium light hogs 8.00 Stock hogs 6.0007.00 Heavy hogs 6.76 06.00 Cattle Vominally Steady. There were no cattle arrivals at all In the North Portland market this morning. The run of late has not been quite so liberal and this may help the market to retain its steadiness. Top steers are still nominally quoted at $5.75, but naturally only very best of ferings can approach this figure. It appears that the real heavy mar keting of cattle Is about over and while there may be spurts of heavy snfpments to the local yards, expectations are for a decreased run. Cattle feeders are making prepara tions to feed about the same amount of stutf as a year ago. There would be an Increase In feeding operations were feeder stuff available, but even though the hay crop is unusually good, the stock, available for winter trade will be no larger than a year ago.

Continued Weakness In Sheep. Continued weakness is reported at the close of the week in the sheep and lamb trade at North Portland. The ar rival of four loads from the Willam ette valley were for Idaho shipment, therefore there were no supplies offer ing. Notwithstanding this there con tinues an oversupply of mutton In pack ers': feed lots and this Is likely to have an adverse effect upon the price for some days. At South Omaha there was no market owing to the lark of arrivals. North Portland sheep and lamb ranges: Select lambs $ 6.00 Ordinary lambs 4.75 Best wethers 3.6008.75 Common lambs 4.0004.25 Best ewes 8.00 Ordinary ewes 2.0008.00 Among the Shippers.

CHICAGO WHEAT LOWER Chicago, Aug. 12. Wheat futures closed about a half cent lower than yes terday, which wa. but the moderate re action in view of the general evening up by the buyers of yesterday and early days In the week. , News from the northwest was some what conflicting. In a general way the weather conditions over the northwest states and a portion of the Canadian wheat country are a little improved, brighter and warmer than earlier In the week. w Northwest markets showed temporary reaction same as recorded here. Broomhall added to the selling pres sure by calling Attention to the bad Russian reports at this date a year ago and the enormom shipments from that country which followed for the year. There was a Liverpool cable claiming a direct Russian report of 40 per cent loss from last year. It may be noted that all foreign markets were firm and higher. Cash wheat here is showing better relative strength than futures. Baltimore reports an advanve in prices for the week and good export inquiry. WHEAT. Open.

There was an advance of 10c In the price of refined sugar in the local mar ket during the past 24 hours, following another big advance in the east yester day morning. The advanced price was first named by the Western Sugar Refining com pany yesterday morning and the other oast refineries- did not make their change until late last evening, therefore practically making the higher price not effective until this morning. For several yeaiw the various coast refineries have been making their price changes within almost a few moments of each other. - Since the successful prosecutions of the trusts under the Sherman anti-trust law, It has been noted that the refiners, while they in variably make the same price in the end, uo not change their valuea at the same hour. In some instanoea the ad vances are delayed a day. The further rise in refined sugar prices here is due entirely to the Euro pean situation. Latest advices from Germany state that the position of the beet crop la not Improved, but even worse than formerly. Last year Euro pean beet fields gave forth a bumper yield, which swelled the world's BUgar crop to unusual proportions. The world's visible supply of raw sugar on July 1 was 2,370,000 tons, compared with 2,820,000 tons on the same date in 1910, 2,360,000 tons In 1909 and 2. 280,000 tons In 1908. The fact that the visible supply .of sugar at this time is showing but little increase despite the fact that the world's ctod last season was the greatest on record. Indicates tnat tne consumptive demand is in creasing even faster than supplies. LIQUIDATION STILL FORCING A DECLINE New York, Aug. 12. Today's stock market marked another dav of the con tlnuatlon of liquidation which has been so much in evidence. The banking pro tection in order to stem the tide of decreasing values while not h cures sively pursued, afforded a safeguard ana a Dreathlng spell for tne time le ing. After sober reflection biiHlness men and merchants who have no so called Wall street affiliations, it is said that the good Judgment of the Ameri can people will prevail to the end that they may conserve their resources both present and prospective. To do this the people will have to decide that no body of political agitators can conspire with selfish aims to imperil The wel fare or ninety millions of people by a heedless congestion of individual asplr atlons. After business activity Is held up by a lack of confidence we first see dull times ana the next aegree is nara times, which are felt by every indi vidual in proportion to what the unit bears to the whole. From a stock mar ket standpoint a rally is long overdue. The banking situation reflects sound business methods and money awaits the call of business enterprises should this hysteria of Investigation subside. DescrloMon I Open; Hlghl Low I Bl Amal. Cop.

RIG RUN AT CATHLAMET Cathlamet, Wash. Aug. 11. The big run of salmon has kept Doth fishermen and canners on the Jump for the past 10 days. The run Is one of the most satisfactory that has occurred in the past 15 years. There have been years when more fish have been taken in a single day, but the large runs of other vefirs have gutted the canneries and caused price cutting. This year, how ever, the canners. although worked to the limit, have been able to handle the Increased supply without waste, and there has been no consequent cut ting of prices. There were some splendid individual catches made by gill netters and trap pers here during the height of the run. Cliff Munro at Altoona took 1600 pounds In his gill net. David Welcome and Arthur Houchen took 1400 pounds each in their traps. Joe Burke got 2200 pounds in one haul in his trap opposite Cathlamet. These catches represent an average, although not the largest by any means. From Chinook comes a remarkable story of a single catch made In the trap of a widow, a Mrs. Louise Davis. In one lift there was taken the enormous amount of nine tons of fish. In telling the Incident my Informant added "and she needed the money." One does pot hear of the long lean years. At present there Is a lull in the run. Hold Strawberry Record. Hood River, Or., Aug. 12.
