One grower sold a big load of extra -fancy potatoes i a nawwr nere at boo a Dag, contain - lnar about 115 Bounds. No offer for potatoes Is being refused 'tv Front Street interests. One house. which makes a specialty of potatoes, Is not asking more than (5c a cental for tha best stork, and 45c for ordinary grade; but Is unable to soil more than a nominal amount at mil ngure. jpHICKEN TlUDE IS GOOD -v " 1 There Is a very good tone all Uirough the Doultrv market. Chickens are gen erally fiuoted at an advance of a naif cent, and there is likewise a much better demand for ducks and geese, a Quite-;, lib eral shipments of-dmaad turxeys a" coming forward, but most: of the stock ISA poor, f ancy wrds continue in ie maud around 2 So. DRESSED HOGS ARE FIRMER Firmer tone is showing :for country killed hogs In the Front street trade. With the recent advance In the price of livestock, there has been a corespondlng Improvement in dressed stock. The trade in general is looking for a frac tional advance during the coming week.

HOTHOUSE RHUBARR SELLING A small shfpment of hothouse rhubarb came In from tlie north and found a very goua aemana atone: me street at l&c i pound. The stock was of excellent mini lty. It Is stated that the Puget Sound demand for this product Is unusually .nesvy. inererore omer sections can ee cure oniy email supplies. BUTTER IS STILL SCARCE iVnnl fwtwmic two- t.titrh i.iHYP - Willing, to Purchase Contracts Woolen Interests are evidently chang-i ins their minds . regarding their not wanting to secure contracts on the Com ing wool clip. They are now secretly trying-to corner supplies at interior Pacific notthwest points, but ara not yet willing to pay the prices they have offered and paid at other Buttons of tha country. - - : , ' Growesra 'bnTrnuiTef yTIf m m tneir Views and the amount of contracts writ ten te-dsta is the smallest known here for many years. . Advices received from the country Indicate tha willingness of practically all of the leading growers to await the- regular sale dates before of fering their supplies. To stop this it Is quite probable that milling interests will offer - a fractional advance over prevailing prices In an .effort to stam- peae growers. .-. -r , Kastern advices continue of former tenor. Better selling has been reported for soma grades, but the market, as a Whole, shows practically no change for recent days. Foreign advices in general are somewhat firmer, with prices prac tically unchanged. Boston 'msss., Feb. lS.-Transfera of wool are lareer. aggregating about 200.000 pounds the past week. . This in crease was composed principally of for- ign wools and scoured and jry ter ritories, trices are easier - uit buiiio grades but choice wools ara nearly as alar now fr -montn-aar.s,- Unsettled conditions in- the clothing trade are still a bar to any particular activity In either goods or wool. Fur ther large shipments of foreign wool to Liverpool and London have featured the week's husiness. Manufacturers are nervous over tha situation and look for no Immediate improvement . Conditions are becoming dally more difficult, and tnis has been '-promptly reflected In the demand for wooL Per haps more wool has been sold tha. naat wek than was expected, but the ag gregate since New Year's day has been disappointing. Owing to the garment workers' strike, California wools are dull with- prices easy, -though no serious shrinkage m values nas occurred. .- CLAM SEASON CLOSED Claim That Stock Is Unfit for Food Daring Summer; Canneries . , Are Aided. An appeal will ; be made- by local wholesale Interests for the governor to Veto the bill opening tha clam season all year; According to the wholesalers the bill was Introduced by them several years ago for the purpose of aiding the in dustry and, to keep unfit offerings off me iiminei. It Is claimed that .the onen season for ciams curing the summer would simply be to aid canneries at the coast. Whole saler say that the stock is not fit ror looa at that time, because it is tne regular spawning season and .they bad experienced much difficulty In selling mis ciass or stock when tne season was open during the summer. since tne law closing tne season dur ing the. summer has- been-in . effect. it has enabled people at the seaide to enjoy clamlnir durlna their vacation while-previous to that time the stock was extremely scarce. .

Both the Portland flouring-mills of this city and the Crown mills, the latter operated by BalfOur, Guthrie & CoM have decided to continue the making .of un bleached flour. ' We have never bleached our flour ftlntt. oat a hi taKlti re U & 1 mill. UA' says U. A. Pattullo, head of the grtffn. aepartnient of Baitour, Outline & Co. "While I am not prepared to state that the bleaching of flour la detrimental to the health of consumers, we don't be lieve in the process beoause it makes consumers think they are getting some thing which they are not "We have never annroved the bleach ing process, preferring much rather to sell our flour for Just what it Is. We do not attempt to dlsaulse its auallty. Every sack we put out of patent flour states that it Is unbleached, and we will continue to keep up this standard. "While It Is true that the supreme court has decided that one certain pro cess under discussion is not detrimental to the health and does not cheat the buyer, because he knows what ' he is getting anyway: still there are many other processes, most of them belna In more aeneral use than- tha one decided upon Dy ine court, mat may e injur loua. that w will hold to bur original program, and aeU-ihe - preduettm- bleached. Frank H. Shull, head of the sales forces of the Portland Flouring Mills company stated this morning that bis company was not now bleaching its flour, and would not do so. notwith- tending the decision of the court. "We do not oelieve that the bleaching pro cess makes as good or better flour than the unbleached says Mr, Shull, "there fore will continue to sell It to con sumers Just as it really is without any artificial makeup to deceive somedne." It Is reported that some of the flour being sold in this city by Puget Sound miners is oeing oiea-cnea to make it whiter. Previous to the decision of local mill ers to sell their flour unbleached. It was possible for a miller to purchase the cheapest grade of wheat, and, by bleach ing it suincient, mane it appear as if It came from better grain. "As every- ooay snows," says a miner, "tne harder the wheat the whiter the flour; there fore many millers have previously taken advantage of the bleaching process to purchase cheaper grain.

The bank state ment was somewhat more favorable than anticipated. The firemen's wags controversy suggested further delays before an agreement to arbitrate Is reached.and the opinion.

Asked If American. Ambassador Wil son was not being relegated to tits rear in Mexico's diplomatic situation by the fact that De la Barra is ( residing at the British embassy and might have headquarters there If a provisional gov eminent is. established, Secretary Knox said:. "I don't regard the reported circum stances as indicating that England is superseding America In diplomatic ac tivities. De la Barra probably went there because the American -embassy was crowded. He might Just as well have gone to the legation of any other country. '1 attach no significance to tha fact that rumors that Madero would resign were , announced from the Brit ish embassy by De la Barra." De la Barra is one of Mexico's wealth iest men and is generally regarded as representing the big - official interests of England and America.
