Cabbage market higher.
Tha market for chickens continues very
firm along 'Front street and last -ween s
extreme values are being obtained. It
has just developed, according to some
of the leading Front street Interests,
that the real reason for the recent weak
ness In chickens was that the eastern
packers' were trying- to "put something
over on the street" That they succeeded
Is now history.
It has-developed that the big pack
ing Interests secretly cut the price of
. chlckena'for ar very short time in order
' to break the market along Front street.
This being accomplished they quit sell
ing and offering at the low prices and
began to put all their attention to the
buying lend 1n the country. In the
meantime. Front etreet interests had
written their country shippers that the
-market was weaker and might go lower.
This was just What the .packers were
looking for. They began to buy heavily
'at lower prices and aoon had all avail
able stock cornered. Then, too late.
Front street diBcovered the trick of the
' beef barona. There was an undersup
plled market with little stock in sight
outside of the hands of packers The
latter began to "shoot up" values and
the market has been firm since, and will
probably1 remain so until the beef men
again want to buy, tfhen the trick may
again , be repeated.
EGG TRADE IS HOLDING
There Is a good and steady trade In
the egg market, along Front atreet but

The market for mohair is still holding
steady with tfenetal top limits of buy
ers at 32Vc a pound. . Leading operators
are not offering- above this., A. small
amount of buBineas is pasinc at this
figure,, growers considering that It U
the best they will be able to force,
therefore are generally not Inclined to
hold for a further advance.'
The ool at Kddyyljle was, scheduled

The market for wool Is extremely
aulet. The small amount of ' business
reported passing at the1 amount Is
scarcely sufficient to firmly establish
quotations, and former values are there
fore nominally continued. Th,e dullness
and weakness in the wool trade is na
tional but not world wide. While
slderanle easiness is shown In . Boston
and New York, as well as along tlje
Pacific sl,ope, the market abroad is the
firmest anil highest for many seasons.
Most of the buying has been by foreign
Interests, sales to Americans being com
paratively light. . .
Chicago Shows a Loss for the Day
, With a Weaker Feeling and
Lower Price Abroad.
Chicago,, April 29. Wheat market
was ' extremely bearish today with a
closing loss of to He from yester
day's final figures. '
There- was considerate .weakness at
the start with May and July each c
off while the September showed an
opening loss of He,.. .-
Foreign markets were hot so firm and
thla was the bearish Influence here dur
lng the day. Broomhati cabled from
Liverpool that the market opened with
shorts covering on account unfavorable
political outlook and firmness at Win
nipeg.! Prices were 4 to d -higher.
Following the opening there was a fur
ther advance of Bd on the decrease in
the visible here. During the morning
profit taking was induced by the clos
ing decline in Buenos Ayres, weakness
in Paris at the opening, quieter demand
for both cargoes and parcels and the
fp.ct that the short interest Beems to Ijc
eliminated. At 1:30 p. m. priced were
easy to Hd. lower than yesterday.

Interior mills tore off the lid of wheat
values late yesterday afternoon and this
morning continue to quote higher fig
ures. Mills that have "been out of the
market for about 10 days have reentered
the trade. and some of the interior inter
ests are paying from 89 to 99 Vic for
bluestem and on the basis of 88 89c
for club, ,
Both of these values are above the
present export basis, therefore n& for
eign business is showing at the moment.
Just' what the millers want with the
bluestem Is unknown. It Is stated lu
some quarters that- they have some
newly reeeivea export riour1 ousiness,
but leading millers here say they cannot
even get a nibble of trade abroad. Even
though there was .an export demand
for flour it cannot be understood why
millers will continue to bid up the price
of bluestem and pile up increasing sup
plies of patent.
All through the cereal trade a very
strong tone Is ruling..,, Oats market is
again firmer and higher with sales of
No. 1 feed at $2828.50 while milling
goes at $29 easily. , The same is true
of feed barley, bids for which have
climbed to $24.75 although some are
not quoting above $24.60.
Millstuffs are firmer and although
some mills here have not advanced the
price, sales have been made to Califor
nia at an advance of $1 a ton and some
local buyers are bidding 60c a ton more
than home millers are asking. However,
the latter will sell only a very limited
amount at home and none to the south.
Grain bags are again weaker and some
offers of bags at Dc were , reported to
day. WHEAT Nominal, producers' prices,

Selling by Austria Attributed
Reason for Big Decline in
New York Market.
as
New York, April 29. The severe liqui
dating movement in Canadian Pacific
today unsettled the general stock mar
ket, forcing severe losses in' practically
all securities.
The selling of Canadian Pacific was
attributed to the complicated foreign
political situation, the liquidation being
mostly from Austria. The stock closed
here with a loss of 6Ta points for the
day. ,
Aside from the severe loss In Cana
dian Pacific and the weakness in metals
which cost Amalgamated 1 points, the
general market was weak, and from 1 to
2 points lower than yesterday.
U. S. Steel shares were weak and low
er' on the publication of the tonnage re
port, which Is less than for the same
quarter a year ago.

IS eY WEAK WITH A
Chums Arc Being Offered Down to
55 Cents, -or 7H Cents Vnder the
Opening Price of Last Season;
Medium Reds Sell at 73 Cents.
Hy Hynian II. Cohen.
The weakness in the canned salmon
trade is . the most intense known for
many seasons. It is now apparent that
some of thft new canneries which oper
ated in 'Alaska for the first time last
season, will not be able to get suffi
cient funds from the banks this season
to run, their plants. ,, . V ; .
There were enormous losses sustained
by practically all of 'the southwestern
Alaska canru?rs last season. The price
of medium reds was opened out "of line
with conditions generally, and the sale
of this grade has been slow. The same
has been true of the. chums. ' LaBt year
the chums opened at 62c a dozen, but
liberal stocks of this grade , are now
being offered at 55c, and it is reported
that offers at 50c have been accepted,
' Cohoes or medium reds opened last
season at $1.15, and this grade lias' been
a drag on the market ever since. - East
ern brokers are now freely offering to
sell Cohoes down to 80c a dosen, and
reporte indicate some business down to
70c. All of these prices are consider
ably below the actual cost of produc
tion. There Is a scarcity of pinks and this
Is probablx the only grade of salmon
mat is actually firm and is selling up
to the opening price, of last year, or
above it. - Last 'season the opening price
for pinks was o5c. but , some recent
business hp.s been done as high as 70c,
and it is now considered likely that the
coming season's opening will be at the
latter figure, while other grades and
varieties of canned salmon will be ma
terially lower-than former figures.
The spring-summer season opened
along the, Columola. Thursday at noon,
and there will be a grand rush to
operate. Fishing has been going on for
some time, and a number of caches are
reported found by state officials. A
very bl? one was discovered at Clats
kanle. and about four tons of the fish
seized and sold by the officials. It Is
stated that a miniature cold storage
plant was In operation there, the ice
being secured at Astoria. There are
also reports that illegal fishing has been
going on In the -iclnity of' the Cascades
but no selxures have as yet beerl made.
The local fresh fish market is being
fed by "sportsmen," who are allowed
to catch three fish a day. Some of
them take their families along and mar
ket 'from six to a dozen fish almost
every day. while the regular fishermen
who earn their lfvlnsr by ' this method
cannot fish until May.l.

yesterday at Grecnburg returned a ver
dict of suicide In the case of Iva W.

Rogers was 20 years old and a son of
Charles Rogers. He consulted a Beaver,
ton dostor yesterday, but his ailment
was not series. Before going home -he
bought a box of cartridges at the store
of Cady & Co. At 1 o'clock two shots
were heard In an unoccupied cabin near,
his home and when it was entered he
was found on the floor with jl bullet
hole through the right temple.' No mo
tive for - the act is known and he ap
peared light hearted and cheerful while
t Beaverton. " He had typhoid fever
seven years ago. . " . ' - - . -;
