This is toe general differential;, although it is tncrtased at times when Quality Is outside 'markets are weaker ami lower. While outwardly U appears that i'Uget Hountt '.markets are higher than at Fort mud, the taut that shippers from competitive points are ciiooslnjr the local tiaue indicates that their nm return here ore better than at other points.

Al- low California Fruit to Be Mar keted; South Says It Ys Selfish, but Tries Han Itself. : No frozen oranges should be per mitted to enter .the Portland or other northwest markets, in tne opinion of state and city officials, as well as thi ost reiwoie wholesalers. . , .'.i It has been definitely ascertained" that frozen oranges' are an injury to the health,; causing ' much distress to the stomach, therefore from this viewpoint alone officials are inclined to keep the stock away from consumers. Great efforts are being . made ' by southern California interests to, market their product in the face of the fact that the stock is not fit to eat. , Northern California, is agalnat,the Plan because of the fear that such marketing would ruin the reputation of California's big Industry.' ' Outside of the health Standpoint, local officials believe that such marketing would work an Injury to one of the Pa cific northwest's leading industries, ap ple growing. Frosted oranges would be sold at such low figures that much harm to the apple trade would result. While this Is stated to be a very selfish reason by somu Interests, the same plan is being worked In California on other products. Florida grapefruit or oranges are not allowed ifi California, and the same state has barred Idaho alfalfa. The product of both of these sections me admitted to njl other states, and have worked ho injury. New York, Jan. 21.

' ' The local fresh fish trade was never so short of supplies as at this time. There is practically nothing offering for nosh iPBlJig JjaflejBilJi-luiuctnUon. of -ttlinon, end stocks of this fish are rather llirht. with the nrice held firm There has been no renewal of the smelt run, either In the Columbia or Cowllti, The fish always appear first in the former stream, after which they make their way to the1 spawning grounds.. The few offerings now, avail able are being held firm at 6 6c a pound, with not enough stock in sight to fill more than a nominal per cent of the demand. Halibut Is so scarce and high that the record prices, are still In effect, with wholesalers unrbln to secure their re quirements from the north. - Canned fish trade remains in a very firm position. It is quite natural that some Improvement should be shown prior to the Lenten season, but the pres ent strength Is the best of the season to date. Contrary to general expecta tions the principal demand at present is for low grade fish. .

While there was more free offering, the market lield well and 85c is still being freely hid for club with an occasional lot hrinRing a cent above this. The former price Is most genera L- Binee the weakness developed in the east ami in foreign markets there tins been mofe inclination among country holders to let no of their suDDlles at 1 prevailing figures. This has been true aimosi entirely or me ciuo. Blue.stem wheat is firmer than ever and while there has been further ad vance in the bids here, the market is inclined to climb on the least oppor tunity. Millers are no longer holding back but are talcing whatever stock of this variety Ih offered. Of Interest to the trade at this time is the lack of snap In the northern markets for club,. Seemingly Puge.t Sound interests have seeuretl their re quirements of thla variety and are not so keen to bid further advances in the price. , Milling oats are showing a further spread In prices. Purchases are reported around $28 and even $:'.0 a ton with a still higher price qua-ted in the north. Millers are scrambling for small re maining stocks of unstained oats.

Prices in the wheat market were rated c to c s bushel at the closing of the market todav fol lowing an opening that was tc lilghcr each for May and September and un changed for the July. There Was a mixed tone abroad with prices showing only a narrow change. A prominent Canadian exporter wired that there was an exceptionally good de mand for Manitoba wheat today with some heavy sales. Minneapolis reported a fair ca.sh de mand but trade was not so broad. Broomhalt reported from Liverpool that the market opened under pressure of realizing due to lower American and Argentine cables and the weakness in Paris at the opening. Following the opening there was free covering and prices advanced ad with an undertone firm. Support was. stimulated : by the tetter demand for .

Tho trend of tho hog trade continues steady to weak, but 'prices were generally con sidered stationary at the previous aver age. ' yesterday's heavy marketing left killers, both here and" on the sound, with rather liberal supplies ia: the feed lotsr, therefore there' Is no Indication of any immediate improvement, although it is quite possible that some small killer may be forced to pay a slight premium for a few head.
