A small amount of business Is pass

quiries from Texas and- New Mexico
are coming forward 'but no business
has passed for those accounts so far
an can be ascertained today.
The strennth of the market here Is
attributed directly to the better feel

even leadinx buyers are unable to say.
They know that the market is Rood
for extra fancy ofterinKs at this time,
but the situation is not yet good
enough to create any material demand
for ordinary etock from California.
BUTTER TRICE MAY WEAKEN

7000 cubes of New Zealand butter is
expected in the northwest markets
and this is expected to weaken the
trade here. At the present time the
market is considered steady,
CHEESE SUPPLY EXHAUSTED
Supplies of cheese in the local mar
ket are exhausted and local whole
salers are unable to say when they will
be able to replenish their stocks. The
storms off the coast are keeping the
Tillamook steamer at home.
EGG MARKET STILL WEAKER
While pricps are showing no fur
ther change for the day along Front
treet. the condition of the ens trade
Is weaker and all indications are point

are increasing. . '
CELERY STOCKS ARE SCARCE
Stocks of celery are very scarce in
the Front street trade, only two houses
baving any supplies at all to offer
this morning. The price is being held
firm at $4 a crate. Further ship
ments are due at the present time.
LEMON MARKET IS WEAKER
With California prices weaker and
lower, price of lemons in the local

quite a wide spread in quotations, but
within a day or so the best stock is
expected to be freely offered at J4(fr
6 a case.
TOMATOES ARE VERY SCARCE
There is a great scarcity of toma
toes in the local produce trade. Some
recent arrivals from southern Cali

Charles Levy of Levy & Spiegl In
vestigates Seattle Public Mar
kets and Says They Benefit the
Wholesale Trade Generally.
That the public market idea Is an
excellent one and that both the whole
sale trade and the 'consumer profit
thereby, is the opinion expressed by
Charles Levy, of Levy & Spiegl, Front
street merchants, after an extended
trip to Seattle.
"There Is no doubt in my mind that
the real public market' Is of material
benefit to the public generally," says
Mr. Levy. "In Seattle I found the
markets crowded with consumers. The
public was able to Secure practically
all it needed in the markets. The per
son with home-made ; cheese, butter or
In fact anything in the eating: line, is
able to go to the public market, and
by the payment of a fee of 10c a day
can sell the stock to the public..
"I found that the wholesale mar
kets were benefited instead of being
hurt by the operation of the public
markets, because no peddling is al
lowed from house to house and the
public must either get their supplies
from the regular houses or go to the
public market. The wholesale mar
kets were well patronized; in fact, I
think that a market run on a similar
plan would be a big aid to the public
and a financial success.
"I found fruits and vegetables tet
ter displayed in the markets there,
sharpening the public uppetite and
thereby selling more goods."'
Good Earnings Report Sends the
Market Higher; Union Pacific
Has 2 Point Rise.
New York, Jan. 5. The official re
port of Southern Pacific earnings for
the year ending December 30, showing
a surplus of 9.85 per cent compared
with 7.92 per cent a year ago, gave the
market a good day's trade. Southern
Pacific shares were active and closed
with an advance of 114 points.
There was considerable bullishness
in the general list, but the excellent
showing of Southern Pacific was a'di
rect aid to Union Pacific which closed
with an advance of 2 points.
While a decision In the Shreveport
rate case was expected from the su
preme court, none was given.

Considering the run of 78 carloads
of livestock at the North Portland
jards. which is a record run for the
general trade, the action of the mar
ket today was wonderfully strong.
The only line that was not at all
represented in today's immense show
ing of supplies was the calt division,
not a single head being received in
that department since Saturday, when
but a single head snowed up. From
that time until, last Monday only
three head appeared
All . doubt of the increasing demand
for livestock at North Portland is

but 23 head on this same day two

Of late there has been a shade of
weakness in the local cattle trade. This
is attributed directly to the fact that
price of meats has been so high that
consumptive demand is limited, there
fore offerings of livestock more than
meet immediate requirements of kill-
ers.
At Chicago there was a steady tone

FRESH SALMON VERY
LIKELY TO REMAIN
AWAY FROM MARKET
Washouts on Tillamook Road May
Prove Serious to Trade Here;
Most Local Supplies Co mo From
" There; Smelt Prices Erratic.
With the disabling of the Tillamook
road by the severe storms of the last
few days, prospects are good for a
faroine"of fresh salmon supplies In the
local markets.
According to advices, the road has
been washed away- in several places
and it will likely take some days to
repair the damage. As most of the
fresh salmon now offered in the Port
land market comes from the Tillamook
section, the troubles of the trade can
be easily seen. Only a very small
per cent of the supplies are brought
in from the Columbia river at this
time and'the storms on the lower- river
make fishing almost impossible.
The local fish trade is very much
surprised at the tactics of local smelt.
As a general rule the so-called Colum
bia river smelt are first caught in the
Columbia river by glllnetters. Later,
when the runs become good, the fish
enter the Cowlitz, where they are
caught in great numbers. This season
the smelt seem to have been swim
ming unusually low in the Columbia
and gillnetters report no catch at all.
On the other hand, the fishermen on
the Cowlitz are making some hauls
and these are now being offered on the
market.

There remains a very strong tonj
In the wheat market but prices are un
changed here at 85c for club, 86c for
fortyfold and 95c for bluestem.
Little activity was shown in the
trade at the opening of the week. No
effort was made to secure supplies for
less money, dealers realizing that hold
ers are firm in their views and that
if the grain is wanted the full limits
must be paid.
Extreme dullness continues in the
coarse grain market. While oats are
holding steady at $25 for No. 1 feed,
there is only a very limited call. Bar
ley market shows weakness but values
generally are showing around $23 a
ton for feed.
The fKmr situation is of quiet char
acter, there being no improvement in
the foreign situation, while patent is
rather dull, although quite strongly
held at prevailing quotations.

the !young woman was found on the
teach at Coney Island where it had
been cast up by the breaker following;
a terrific storm.
The body was identified by the
parents of the girl. Although the face
was, battered by the elements, examin
ing physicians found no trace of foul
play and the suicide theory Is now ac
cepted. Miss McCann was last seen alive
about 200 feet from th place where

ago. It is believed that she either
Jumped into the ocean from the mu
nicipal baths or leaped off one of the
piers.

committed suicide while laboring under
a severe nervous strain. She had been
under the care of a physician. Miss
McCann was 23 years old and was
identified with the Christian Endeavor

An autopsy at the Coney Island
morgue proved positively today that

tlement worker whose body was found
on the beach Sunday, a month afrer
her disappearance, died by drowning.

theory that she committed suicide.
