Country faofi art alow. ..V- There waa considerable strength h shown in local egg trade for the day and a, very substantial advance was forced In tha price. Sale of candled ,tock were made from 26 to 27c a doaen and thera was a general acramble for auppliea among the trade, The advance la not due to any de crease In the production of eggs but to the smaller ahlpmenta to the local , market. The latter waa dtie to a very neat trick that waa put over the Port land trade by Puget Sound Intereata, which temporarily stopped . the huge ahlpmenta in thla direction, when egg, auppliea began to Increase ao heavily tiers a short time ago and the home trade was unable to clean up here, an outride market waa absolutely necessary. Seattle being the chief cen ter on the outside efforts were made to sell there. In general the northern trade made the plea that it could not do business with Portland on eggs until the price was dropped to at least 26o a dosen. As soon as this figure was reached the northern trade began to clean up everything in sight here. This was but the beginning, however. Seat tle has always tried to get Its supplies direct from Willamette valley shippers, therefore as soon as Portland went to a lower basis than other markets, the val ley waa flooded with offers for supplies from the north. Higher prices were of fered and naturally the shipments went there. The trick was discovered and local values were placed where they actually belong. UNSEED OIL HIGH Ell - a Am ArtirflnfA nt t a ffallnn watt minted in the price of Unseed oil by the Port- JBflu Xtlliswu wvinri una uivi iiitiH. The new quotations are: Raw in bar rels, 66c; boiled, 68c per gallon. OIL MEAL IS LOWER Decline of 13.60 a ton from last print ed prices is shown for oil meal in the local market. The new price hus been placed at f 36 a ton by the local., inter ests. POOH CELERY IS IX)YVER A carload of rather poor celery ar rived from California late yesterday aft ernoon and has been distributed along the street. Sales are being made at $4.60 per crate on account of email Bites. FLORIDA BEANS ARRIVE Florida wax brans have made their appearance in the local market and are Belling at 20c a pound. The stock was packed In hampers and was In good condition. A small lot of egg plant ar rived from the same section and was quoted at 16c a pound. SMELT PRICE IS UNCHANGED No change was made in the price of Columbia river smelt in the local market today, most wholesalers asking 2c a pound. The stock is in very good con dition. Other fish prices are unchanged. POTATO MVRKKT IS QUIET There is a very quiet tone In the po tato trade here.

Tbls Is for July-August delivery. There la Httlfl inclination among sellers to rush trad ing at this time, because all expect a shortage and a further advance in price. While much complaint Is being made by Interior Interests regarding the advance in the price, they themselves are to blame, because all could have purchase ! bags some time ago before prices made their sensational Jump. It waa the burn ing pf the mill at Calcutta and the rush to buy of American interests that caused the market to advance so rapidly Market for wbeat Is quiet, but prao tically no change la showing In prices. . P. ANU S. P. New1 York, Feb. 4. Considerable weak ness was shown In Southern Pacific shares today and at the closing the market was 1 points lower than yes terday while Union Pacific was off merely a fraction. Interest in the dis solution plans of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific is increasing. The price the Union Pacific will pay for the Central Pacific is between $100. 000.000 and $105,000,000. Stockholders of both Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific will be given the privilege of sub scribing to Southern Pacific stock on the basis which will give Southern Pa cific stockholders a little better than (V,l - - ... uh . ru rf IIia lafltie Smith em Pacific stock will be underwritten bv a syndicate it is understood, at 97 and will be offered for subscription to stockholders at par. It is expected that an official an nouncement of the plan, which has been agreed upon bv the directors of both the Union Pacific and the Southern Pa cific as well as the attorney general, will be made on Thursday. With the exception of steel common, which closed a fraction higher, the stock market was mixed for specialties.

TO SELL GRAIN IS QUIET Buying tm almost at a standstill so far as tidewater interests are eoncerneu, out soma purchases by Interior miller are sun reported at me lormer prem turn. California is seemingly npt interested In the northern market at this time, on account of the higher prices demanded, but sellers are careful not to go short at this time. Market for millstuffa is steady, with California still a liberal buyer, espe cially of shorts. The local surdus la therefore being cleanejyp at prevailing Coarse grains continue quiet at un changed prices. Flour prices are firmer.

Tiie inability of buyers to secure, con tracts on wool at the low trlen thev have been offering is worrying the blr interests in ine east ana wnne they are pretending not to worry, are never theless making decided ef&rta to take on supplies nere and there in the in terlor. The inability of buyers to secure any concession in the price at the blar eaat ern centers is seemingly a surprise to them snd their needs are therefore be ing supplied at full values. There Is now no doubt that Oregon and Idaho wool growers will hold their wools for regular sales dales this sea son. They remember the lower prices they secured laat year by selling princi pally at private sale, despite the warn ings given in tnis paper.. Tney secured less money for their wools, quality considered, than did any other section of the country. Last season dealers made a strong effort to kill off sales dates by talking growers Into letting go of their fleece before that time. The strength of the market for the old clip in eastern as well as European centers, together with the better values obtained at southwestern points for the new clip contracts, is giving the market a very strong undertone here and else where. OF Lesser Known Brands and ordinary Creamery Show Shaded Prices in the Trade. The market for the better known brands of creamery butter is holding fairly steady at all points along the coast at prices that are much alike The late decline here has stimulated the trade for these makes, but the lesser known, brands ar still rather weak with shsded prices shown in most places. Best known brands, and especially city creamery, are quoted at 3737Vc a pound in the local market, with Se attle quoting 37c and San Francisco at the same price in effect here. Real good butter of established brands ts not so plentiful as some interests have believed, although the make Is In creased somewhat for recent davs. There are more liberal supplies of ordi nary to poor creamery, end these are suffering from a lack of good trade. While best city creamery as well us most favorably known out of town brands are selling at S7(ft37Hc a pound, lesser known stuff is selling down to 36c for the best, with ordinary down about 2c below this figure. The fight for butterfat Is still very keen, and the differential in price be tween the fat and the manufactured produot Is practically eliminated. CHICAGO WHEAT IS LIFTED Market Closes Higher With Better Situation Abroad. Chicago, Feb. 4. Prices were lifted in the wheat market today, closing be ing an advance of Mc to c a bushel over yesterday's final figures, Market opened He advanced for each of the three options.

All through the country the light block stock is finding most favor with the trade. Locally blockers have been in best demand for some weeks, but the situation at points east of the KockUs showed this change for the first time today.

A very sudden demand appeared In the local trade for country killed calves this morning. For several days the market has been weak and lower and receivers as well as shippers' were somewhat discouraged. This morning some of the leading buy ers appeared in the market end all first class calves were sold at 13c a pound. Home that were not so good wem irom fio 10 ic a pound less. In this regard it might be mentioned that country shippers who removed the livers from their calf shipments did not receive the top price, such stock being generally docked o a pound, no niattar how good the quality of offer ings. There continues a rather weak tone for country killed hogs In the produce trade. Receipts of these continue very liberal and extreme prlcea are hard to realize. Much of the stuff coming for ward Is of heavy size, therefore receiv ers are forced to accept less. Light hogs are much better property at this time than heavy sizes. Country killed beef Is scarce along the street, but there Is a very good de mand, at this time at satisfactory prices. OMAHA LIVESTOCK HIOHEll Hogs, Cattle and Sheen Sltow Ad- vance for the Day.
