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. Buying has practically
ceased In the country owing to the over
full condition of the southern trade. A
small amount of business would prob
ablv be available at 40c a cental for
best.

The msrket for grain bags is firmer,
although prices have not as yet shown
any advance beyond 9e. 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.

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.
Canadian Pacific was weak with a loss
of 1 points but Nework Central .was
a point belter than yesterday.

Undertone of Fleece Trade Improved
at All Points; Will Hold
for Sales Days.
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

Chicago, Feb. 4. Prices were lifted
in the wheat market today, closing be
ing an advance of Mc to c a bushel

Were offaet here by the firmness of
La Plata and Australian offers and
prices were Hd higher. Following the
opening there was covering bv shorts,
and prices further advanced 14 d to 4d
on a resumption of war and the fact
of a rapid absorption with a continued

Kollowing the liberal run of yesterday
there were only limited supplies offer
ing in the stockyards today and too
price situation is unchanged in general.
Hogs, while not an anxious inquiry,
are selling at practically the same prices
as have been in effect during the last
24 hours. Talk of lower prices waa
more hotalr than anything else, tops
continuing at $7.(0, even though th
bulk of the offerings went for less.
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. About a year ago blockers ware
quoted there at extreme prices,, when
packing house stock took the lead again.
At Chicago there waa a firmer tone
In the bog market with an advance of
6c to 10c in the price. Tops went at
17.82V.
Kansas City hog market was firmer
with an advance of a dime. Tops went
to $7.76. j
There were no straight loads of hogs
offering in the local yards today.
North Portland hog market range:
Best light $7.50
Medium light .45
Best heavv 7.45
Rough and heavy 4.50
Cattle Situation, la Quiet.
Only limited arrivals were shown in
the cattle trade at North Portland for
the day. The liberal run of last week
has kept killers quite well supplied anl
it would take a few more days of
limited offerings to bring out most bid
ders again.
At Chicago there was a steady to
strong tone In the cattle trade with no
change In prices.
Kansas City cattle market waa steady
at unchanged prices.
Cattle shippers today: W. B. Kurts, 8t.
Anthonv, Idaho, 1 load, cattle, calves
and hogs: O. M. Farr, Mlkkallo, 2 loads;

Bheep Prtoea Are Quiet.
Owing to the lack of offerings of
select quality mutton. It is Impossible
to state definitely what the top of the
market would be today. Most of the
recent arrivals have consisted of stock
ers snd feeders and on the basis of
these finished stuff should command
full prices or a fraction better.
At Chicago there was a steady tone
in the mutton trade, with no Changs in
prices.
Kanaaa City sheep trade was steady
with yesterday's price in effect.
The only shipper of mutton to the
local market today was Andrew Morrow,
who had 3 loads In from Madras.

CALF DEMAND SHOWS
BETTER TONE WITH A
G000 PRICE ON STREET
Market Is in Much Improved Shape
With 15 Cents) Obtained lor Tops;
A Cat Price Shown for Animals
Without Livers Attached.
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.
