it is stated, that one speculator, who
'as oeen very prumuiem on mi...
huor of local market conditions In or.
-o'er to secure larger profits, has already
j mrchaned two carloads of f gs in Call
lornla which have been billed to this

would have been kept a.. secret tM
tniyer in order to obtain as much as
; o.Hsiblc for the ; supplies, but In this
iinrtar.ee the importation is - widely
heralded.' - i vi ' '
This being the case the trade In (Ten
!ul has come-to the conclusion that
the Importer has some other object in
vif-w rather , than merely selling theww
two carloads of eggs. It Is believed that
the billing of the eggs to F ortland is
merely a bluff to beat down the price
jitue so that the local stock can be se
emed eheaply for storage purposes. It
Is oIko believed that when the carloads
of California stock arrive tliey will be
iukklv diverted to Butte, Mont. - .

CHEESE IS HARD TO MOVE "
Trade In the cheese market is very
unsatisfactory, ; With packers doing. all

Canned Salmoh Position
Is Less Favorable Abroad
Oply six more days remain before the
rail-winter season closes along the Co
lumbia river. The season will bo closed
fo rtwo months and the spring-summer
catch will start May 1.
There has been a notable Improvement
In the catch of steelheads in the lower
Columbia durinaj recent days, but ChU
nooks are exceedingly scarce. All frelh
salmon prices are tiierefora , held firm
at previous figures.
The markit for canned salmon Is still
favorable locally for most grades and
no change in quotations is noted.
Itegarding the English canned salmon
situation during the swihoji, Henry W.
Peabody & Co. wriffffetfm London as
follow:
"1'p to the time of the first arrivals
of the 113 pack of -flats, there were
no stocks In first hands, and very lit.
tie exchange of parcels took place be
tween the) dealer, holders requiring
what little stock there was for their
own needs. Such transactions as there
were, were carried through at prices
ranging from 448s. Basing their
Ideas on the satlstical spot position,
and on the pricea current, tho trade
interested themselves : very 'early in
the year In the 1812 pack of H-lb flats,
on ths basis of about 44s 6d for Fru
ser. and at from 45 'd to '48s consid
erable business was done., .While con
tracts were still entered Into, at fur
ther advances, the quantities were not
of Importance, and 46s 64 to 47s Is
stated to have been the hich.water
Circumstantial reports of the heavy
sales made at the above prices were
circulated here, and misled both pack
era and buyers. It-soon became evi
dent, while the packing , was . in pro
gress, that the quantities had been ex
aggerated, and that not "Sufficient al
lowance had been 'made for the - fact
that a good many of the sales had
been made to .intermediaries, who
would : hava to - re-market their , pur
chases, and who were in fact, a source
of weakness to the position, ratlier
men or sirengin. 'l ne total pacK or
H-lh flat sockeyea proved to- be over
286,000 cases, which was soma 60,000
more than wag expected and this
proved the ISst Straw In an alreaJy
top-heavy market An agreement was
entered into by the leading -packers,
under which ' minimum price for
-flat sockeye, Fraser and , , gkeena,
was fixed at the equivalent of 44 8d,
with a guarantee . to- give buyers the
benefit of any decline in the price of
individual packers up to December SI.
The sales made under this agreement
were practically nil, and the agree
merit came to ah end by parties giving
notice of withdrawal within a com
paratively short period. IS I nee that
date sales are reported to have been
made as low as 40s, but no material
quantities hare changed hands, and the
position, lias not developed up to the
timo of writing.
. :s:j Tistg Are Scarce.'
"I-lb Plata The SDot nonltlort of h)
line has been without Interest
throughout the year, owing to the vry
limited auantltv available. Tlia iiaelt
of 1812 consisting of 68,000 eases omy,
of which but a limited quantity was
available for this country, caused

The wheat situation Is a dragging af
fair. A small amount of grain la being
purchased - in the country . around the
C rice basis quoted recently. All of tne
iisiness that haa passed has . been in
very small lots, as all the big holders
are still asking more money.
; A Chicago paper reported this morn'
In a- that considerable business was
passing for wheat between Portland and
Japan, but . this oannot be confirmed
hore. Dealers say that small amount
of business is still passing with tho
orient in the wheat trade, but the vol
ume is not bin enousrh to causa any
commotion. Sales were heavy In that
direction a month ago, but recently only
limited lota have been taken, owing to
the firmness in tn price nere.
Market for coarse grains remains
rjulet, although a slight Increase in
activity is shown both for - oats and
barley. Prices ,Jn both lines are un
changed. Hay situation remains quiet at pre

iVHEAT MARKET HERE '
IS DRAGGING AFFAIR
"I-lb Tails Tills line has also re
mained without general interest. ; as
buyer here could not see a eatiarnc
tory margin, of profit on a cost of 39s,
which was "about the figure asked uy
the packers this year. The spot stock
while quite unimportant Votn to have
been sufficient . to stav off any great
excitement. .
"Strikes an.1 labor troubles in th
early, part of the year and an extreme
ly wet summer, affected deliveries to a
very considerable extent. The average
deliveries from public warehouses, ir.
Liverpool for the year 1908, which pest
compares with the yeur 1912, were 35,0m)
cases per month, as against 29,000 ln
the latter year. The difference in de
liveries is of course due in part to the
small stocks of sockeye, and conse
quently higher leve lof prices, but;Is
largely attributable to the causes In
dicated. -;V''"
rit is difficult to forecast the prices
at which the carry-over of 4-lb flats,
amounting as it doe to 120.000 to 130,
000 cases, will be marketed, but: we
fell that once British buyers have been
satisfied as to the price at .which it Is
safe to operate, we shall have a free
market, and possibly an advancing on?.
It remains to be seen whether the point
at which buvfr. ami seller can meet 'is
arrived at before the 1913 pack lias to
be dealt with. .There are. aireaay.seii
ers of 1913 H-lb flat aockeyes at much
below Sellers' Ideas for 1812 pack, but
we are not aware of an ytransactlons
having been carried through,.
faaltary , OmM' SaUsfaetory,'
V "Some Alaska packs of this year have
been put - up .-' in sanitary cans, but
these are not yet entirely satisfactory,
and British buyers, i Unless inducements
in other directions are held. out, have
generally declined to accept the nw
can without special guarantee. This
style"of-package has proved most suc
cessful in California In the packing
of fruits, and Its possible advantag
In a perfected - condition make it safe
to say that we are within a measur
able period of seeing this can unlver-
saiiy aaoptea. as, , nowever. ouyers
In this country do not consider sani
tary cans to be a proper tender against
a . contract r which does - not speclully
provide for them, It Is essential that
packers should notify their agents is
to the style of package which they prd
pose to use, before sales are made.
: From the figures given below it -will
be noted that the imports of salmon
Into the Vnlted Kingdom ln;1913,re
largely -, below the average, i This Is
largely accounted for by the -fact that
hinmenta of both British Columbia
and Alaska salmon are arriving lat-v
this year than they hava in previous
years. As is arenerallv known, a greAt
deal of the-British Columbia pack Is

STRENGTH IN STATE
Prices Are Unchanged Because Buy-
ers' Fear .Thi Would Influ
" j ence Contracts Too.
There Is a' growing demand for spot
hops In the local market. With stocks
of speculators practically cleaned 'up,
buyer have been forced to go to grower-holder.
The latter are exceedingly
strong In their view regarding the price
and for this reason no business of Im
portance .has passed recently.
i With quite a lot of March deliveries
to be made and yet unbought, the mar
ket is in a watting position. The fact
that no hops are available abroad has
stimulated interest In the Oregon mar
ket. where the only first class norm re.
mainlng unsold in the world are said to
be held. While California is reported
to hold more bales of unsold boua at
this time than Oregon growers, the
quality of available supplies In the
south Is said to be so extremely poor
that buyers are not inclined to even
bid for LKem as long as they can get
the better grade here. v --; - -
There la little doubt In the minds of
the trade that the price of hops here
would be soaring at the present time
were. It not for the fact that contracts
are so badlv wanted, The payment of
higher prices for spot goods would stim
ulate the strength in futures and this Is
one strong reason why brewing inter
ests are inclined to go slow Just at
present. -
While prices are unchanged in the
contract market. 150 Is being: offered
on all sides. . Everyone seems to be
interested in contracts but the price
available Is not meeting with the views
or grower generally.
