"I 'Si t t ' I.; :V ' 4 15 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY; EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1914. ;;' t. WHEAT MARKET PRICES ARE BEING HELD SOMEWHAT PRICE OF CHEESE HAS REACHED THE RECORD Limited Holdings Are; Command lag Excellent Sale Today at 20 ' to 20 Jic Fer round (or Flats; Storage Holdings limited. 0 Tout's Trodse Trad. Egg market lower. Chicken prices higher. . Country meat firm. Cheese at high record. Fancy apples selling. Smelt run much heavier Scarcity of salmon. Home crabs arriving. Ordinary potatoes offering. The prlc of cheeas today reached the highest figure known for many years In the Portland market when 1 sales were made, as high as 20Vc a pound for flats. This was i for less than case lots, cases being quoted at 20c. i Stocks of cheese hers are ' so light at the present time that holders are able to secure almost any price they ask. With the make at Tillamook ex ceedlngly small and even this unable to - reach the market because of the : washouts along the railroad and the ; storms wnieh have kept the steamer from tearing the bay, the trade here . is famished. Holdings of storage cheese are com- paratively small at all points along the coast and most of this has been cleaned up during the last 10 days ' owing to the Inability of the trade to secure fresh make. The price of cheese In the east is now so high that there Is not the slightest fear of competition from-that point, although It Is quite likely that some stocks will be brought in from the outside to fill the famished wants - of the trade along the Pacific coast. CELERY PRICES ARE LOWER power prices are being named for celery in the Front street trade with additional' receipts from northern Cal ifornia, Bales were reported today from 13. SO to $4 with only a nominal amount of business at the high point. KIPPERED SALMON IS MOVING Since an Astoria cannery began to kipper salmon there and ship it to the local market, the-demand for this fish .has shown a big Increase. The local product is so much better than that formerly sold here that it is taking all . of the demand. ; CABBAGE PRICE DUE TO RISE A further advance in the price of cabbage will be made at the xtart of the coming week. Growers are now holding the best at 2c : a pound here which means that the next shipments will be sold on the street at 24 a. GRAPEFRUIT MORE PLENTIFUL Supplies of Florida grapefruit are now quite plentiful in the local mar ket and the price has generally been reduced to $5 a ease. The quality of the fruit Is rather good and demand Is showing an increase. ; GROWERS -. OFFER POTATOES Ordinary quality potatoes are being offered slightly more freely by grow ers to the local market -but most ot them are holding their best quality for higher prices. The Cafcfornia trade '.-. continues excellent for tlje best. BETTER APPLES IN DEMAND For thai better grade of apples a slight Improvement In the demand Is Showing along Front street and prices are being fairly well maintained. Or dinary stock continues to show weak ness - wfTh price shading still re- ported. . m . SMALL TRADE IN HOPS NOTED A small amount of trading Is re . ported in the hop market here. The Fletcher lot of 100 bales was sold et Salem to William Brown at 20o a pound.

PORTLAND MARKET Industrial and Crop News of the Pacific Northwest i ' With the Idea of Interesting the growers of the Spokane district In orchard problems Orris Dormant pres ident of the Spokane Fruitgrowers company, is arranging for a series of meetings to be held In different fruit districts, .probably, during the ' latter part of the month and the first, part of February. Palouse local No. 35, Farmers' .Edu cational and Cooperative union; - at a meeting last week, took definite steps toward the organization of a coopera tive warehouse company at this place. A committee composed of Joseph Franzcn. H. M. Asbury. J. K. Turnbow, J. N, Collins and N. C. MeKee, was named to proceed with the organiza tion. The cooperative company, which will take over the warehouse business now conducted by the farmers' union, will be organized under the new co operative law enacted by the last leg islature. ; W. H. Paulhamus of Puyallup will be in North Yakima January 14, at the convention of thee Irrigation ex perts, who will discuss matters con nected with irrigation farming under the direction of the reclamation serv ice. He will talk on phases of the cooperative movement and take up problems of marketing fruit crops. At the annual meeting of the Skagit, Wash., County Fruitgrowers' associa tion, which will meet at Burlington, January 18, an effort' will be made to provide for the erection of a can nery to care for the surplus -product of the members. 1 In urging the necessity of the can nery, its advocates assert the Seattle market, where most of their product is sold, is most unreliable. In addi tion to the alleged unsatisfactory manner In which business' has been conducted in the past, the announce ment is made that the commission merchants of Seattle hereafter will demand a commission of 15 per cent instead of the 10 per cent which has been customary in the past. SHOWN UPON STREET Price Is Down Another Cent a Dozen for Fresh Candled Of ferings; Storage Is Poor, Further reduction of a cent a dozen was shown today in the Front street market for resh ranch eargs. ,j Bales were made down to 37c a dozen for candled goods. i ; ! Receipts continue to show an In crease and supplies are almost plenti ful enough at this time to dispense with the ice house produce. There fore cold storage interests are very much frinhtened and all sorts of val ues are renorted for the held stock. Little of this is of good quality, there fore within a short time it will dls appear from the market on its own account. The strength of the chicken market has caused the price of hens to climb to 17c a- pound and the trade Is ex ceedingly firm at that figure, in fact I'as been held at that price bv a few dealers during the last two days. Re ceipts of chickens are only fair and the excellent demand Is cleaning stocks up as soon as they arrive on the street. The demand for turkeys at the ex treme price is less favorable. The price was boosted to an exorbitant fig ure and' this has curtailed the de mand. XQRTHWE8T BANK STATEMENT Portland Banks. Clpnrtn Tbls week Year ago.

The warm rains have started the sap to running and the buds to swelling, and if the warm weather continues the trees and vines will bloom too early. Last season was unusually warm for the bay section, and the prolonged dry weather caused fruit and other decid uous trees to shed their leaves earlier than usual. The copious fall of warm rain had given them renewed life at an inopportune time. A short season of low temperature would stop the sao running and insure the fruit crop against a late frost. The Inland Empire Paper company at Millwood, Wash., made paper this week for the first time in several months. The mill has been shut down for some time while extensive altera tions and additions have been in prog ress, which will double the capacity. The big paper machine) is not yet ready for running paper and will not be in operation for several Weeks, but the small machine will be operated from now on. Heavy wrappers were made. About 160 growers assembled at Orange hall In Peshastin, Wash., on New Year's eve. Ladies of the grange assisted in making the occasion a success. The main speakers were Horticul tural District Deputy Darlington and H. Heidenhaln of Wenatchee. They made addresses on blight Sentiment was unanimously in favor of having an inspector devoting his entire time to fighting blight in the Peshastin district. It was voted to Invite Leav enworth to cooperate in the movement to eradicate the disease from orchards of the upper valley. All growers present voluntarily signed an agreement to contribute 25 cents per acre for bearing orchards and 15 cents per acre for young or chards. In this manner it is proposed to employ an assistant for Inspector Darlington, this assistant to devote his entire time to the Peshastin dis trict. SMELT APPEAR IN J Cowlitz Catch Greatly Increased During Tuast 24 Honrs and . Price Is Sliding. There was a very liberal increase In the catch of smelt in the Cowlitz river ".uring the last 24 hours and local re ceipts are much heavier. Receipts for the day were fully double those re ceived yesterday and the price at wholesale dropped from lOo to 80 a pound in consequence. This is the period of the season when 1'lsr hauls of smelt are expected in the Cowlitz and for that reason the trade is preparing to handle a very large volume of supplies within the Imme diate future. Coming- at thlg time when there are practically no fresh salmon to be had by the general trade, the run of smelt Is especially gratifying to the whole sale and retail trade and. lastly by the consumer. The annual run of smelt in the Cow litz and Columbia Is the signal for a lowering of the cost of living. During the period of plenty, smelt are caught in such great numbers that the average family can secure sufficient for a meal for a nickel or a dime. A few crabs were received this morning from Bay Centers, but stocks are far too small to supply the needs of the trade. , CHICAGO WHEAT SAME Opening and Closing Prices Are game as Yesterday; Early Advance Soon Lost. Chicago. Jan. 9. At the closing of the market for wheat options prices were the same as at the opening ana at the closing of yesterday. The mar ket wa extremely dvll for the day with a spread of but c between the high and low for each option. There was a small showing of strength after the openlnsr when the advance was made to 91 c for May and 87mC for July, but this was lost on profit tak ing later. Broomhall cabled from Liverpool that the wheat market was easier. The American cables yesterday and forecasts of larger world's shipments otheiCthan America, caused some real izing there. Tater there was covering and speculative support and prices ad vanced with an improved demand for Manltobas and firmer La Platta offers. Argentina crop advices continue un favorable and their movement to ports disappointing. Range of Chicago priees fu mi shed by OverbecK & Cooke company. Board of Trade building: 216-2X7 WHEAT Open.

Abnormal conditions are ruling la the livestock market at North Port land. The great supplies of hogs and cattle that have come forward of late and the importations of Canadian cat tle by Puget sound killers, have cte uteo an unusual condition here in both lines. Swine priees at North Portland were reduced Be to 10c for the day in the face of extreme strength In the mar kets east of the Rockies. Sales of good stuff were made in the yarus this morning with extreme at $8.0e. This makes the local market the low est in the entire country so tar as leading livestock centers are concerned-There was a sharp advance) lo the price of. hogs at Chicago for the value being lOo to 15o better than jtsterday, with tops at the highest point for the year at $8-45. Kansas City swine prices were very firm with an advance of 20o for the day. South Omaha hog priees were lifted a dime for the day. General hog market range: Top killers $ 8.05 Good and light 8.0 : Heavy 7.95 Rough and heavy 6.7607.00 beep Prices Are Salrtea, While there was quite a good run of mutton in the North Portland' yards overnight, the condition of the trade continues to reflect Improvement. Several cars of Idaho lambs from the Welser country were sold early In the day at $6.56, or a nickel above the former light flcrure. All through the mutton market trade is strong and former top rices are easily reached. At Chicago there was a strong tone in the sheep trade for the day. prices being up a nickel, Kansas - City 6heep market was strpng atan advance Of 15c for the day.
