There Is a famine of poultry offer ings along 1-Yont street and prices are responding to this condition. Sales of hens are reported along the street at 19c a pound for live- offer ings and only a small per cent of the demand is being filled owing to the lack of offerings.

The market shows an 'excellent tone for broilers and as high as 35c a pound Is reported paid in the trade during the last 24 hours. While the demand for broilers Is not extensive and per haps would not hold at this extreme price if there was plenty , of stock available, receipts are almost too nom inal to base a market. Ducks, geese and turkeys are like wise in good call along the street, and ' all are quoted at better prices than re cently. There were practically no of ferings In cither of these lines at the opening of business this morning.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK By Hyman Latest advices are to tlie effect that an experimental starch factory will be constructed near Vancouver by farm ers of that section to take care of the surplus potatoes. Jbivery year, no matter how good is the market for good potatoes, thera are heavy stocks that go to waste on the farms for various reasons. Some of this stock is too small for the reg ular table trade, and others are ili shaped. Every bit of this stock can be utilized by the makers of starch, and the proposed factory across the Columbia may solve the probiem th.vt Iian long confronted producers of this section. Not only can starch' be made from thia surplus product, but the promot ers, of the enterprise allege that pota toes make the best glucose, and they propose to establish a plant for the latter product within a short time. It is stated that glucose manufac tured from notatoes is of superior quality, and will bring more money 1 Oregon Eadishes Go to Eastern Markets Shipments From Portland Rather Libera and Quality Is the Best Known. For years this section of the coun try has paid tribute to California veg etable growers, but the yoke has at latst been thrown off and not only are local producers supplying most of the needs of the northweBt trade through out the year, but they are actually shipping in liberal lots to the east. Oregon radishes are now going for ward in large lots to Minnesota, Da kota and Montana. Shipments are be ing made in barrels ' with ice In the center to keep the supplies fresh in transit. Tlie excellent quality of the local offerings is sure to force a large trade regularly in this direction. Oregon rhubarb is being shipped to California in large supplies, and not withstanding the strong native son sentiment in the southern state, the Oregon growth Is taking the lead in the trade. Spinach from The Dalles is row cap turing the trade wherever presented, owing to the excellence of its quality. A big outside trade in spinach is ex pected to follow its Introduction. Lehigh Valley and Mo. Pacific Are Hit New York, April 17. Lehigh Valley and Missouri Pacific shares were beaten down today under tremendous selling pressure. In the case of the Lehigh Valley It was generally con ceded that a reduction would be made in the dividend. New financing that must be met by Missouri Pacific put that security on the slide today. Le hiKh Valley opened at 141 or point al-ove the previous closing and at the end of the session was around 135. Mis souri Pacific opened at 244, an ad vance of i point and sold down to 18 at the closing. Reading lost 1 point during the day but most other shares showed fractional changes.

So far as known, there are no potato glucose factories in the United States, there fore the experiment to be made at Van couver Is likely to be watched by pro ducers throughout tiie country. By-product factories are now the watchword throughout the Pacific northwest. Fruit growers are fast discovering that a very large per cent of their product each season does not reach the market at all. They are agi tating tlie establishment of various plants to take care of the surplus fruits and Vegetables. Farmers', cooperative canneries ara making a success at various points. This season, for the first time, Oregon canned fruits and vegetables made their appearance on the European ma r Hets in fair supply. The experiment has proven a success, and with th-s widening of the market the outlook Is much more hopeful for the cooperative plants now being established at vari ous points in the northwest. Hop Contracts Are Strong at 15 Cents Local Market Shows No Change in Situation; Good Growers Not Offrings. Market for hop contracts shows prac tically no change for recent days. Fifteen cents Is still being offered, for contracts on the coming crop both In Oregon and in California. Little busi ness is passing. Some of the growers who annually produce poor quality are letting go, but those that turn out the best grade are generally holding- back. Trade in spot hops continues ex tremely quiet. Business conditions in the east are still unsatisfactory, and this is holding back the trade in spot offerings. While no sales have been made recently, leading dealers assert that occasional orders are available at 17c to 17 c for best quality. Only 1 nominal supply of this grade Is available, most of the holdings con sisting of poor to ordinary goods. ' A late New York mail advice says of the situation: Bales. Receipts for week 2,433 Receipts since September 1 ....116,300 Exports to KuroDe for week 1.121 Exports from September 1 97,725 Imports for week 26 Imports from September 1...... 7,127 "Our local market has continued very dull and weak.

The entire market is permeated with dullness and there is no snap to the buying In any sturr. While the market cannot be said to be really weak, with the withdrawal of the millers from the buying tempo rarily, there has generally been a loss of lc a bushel In the prices being of fered for wheat In the country. These prices are unsatisfactory to country noiders and there is nothing offering. Dut business is so slow in general that bidders are not Inclined to force values up again. Millers purchased Quite liberal stocks a few weeks ago and they are content to allow this to bo cleaned up before again entering the market ex cept perhaps at lower prices. Oats market is weaker here than elsewhere. In the interior values are higher than at Portland because of the several additional outlets. So much Willamette valley stock is beinsr of re red that the home trade is swamped. Barley market continues to show neglect and while occasional small lots are reported taken as high as $22 for No. 1 feed and $23.60 for brewing, the general trade is bidding a half dollar less than these figures.
