LARGE LOT CLUB WHEAT SOLD AT WALLA WALLA AT TURKEYS ARE A DRUG ON THE MARKET WITH MOST LIMITED CALL Bet Dressed Stock Is Nominally Quoted at 20 to 21c Per Pound but High Mark Not Being Ob- , talned; Great Glut of Geese. Turkeys are at present a drug; on the market and the outlook for the Immediate future la by no mean bright. Actual business In the dressed turkey trade has been the most lim ited In years here during the last few day. While nominally the price for dressed bird of beat quality Is being held at 20421c a pound, the hiKher figure has not been obtained of late so far as can be ascertained. - In fact, some of the receivers along -.,-..- r a u 1 1 1 1 cti rrvl n nvpr supplies that arrived a day before Christinas because of the almost gen- eral lack of demand. Live turkeys are also a drug on the market with sales nominal at 16fti17c a pound. Keceipts have been crulte fair recently. Jt Is In the goose market that the greatest atagnation is shown. Christ mas buHtiwss was a surpris to the trade because of the almost general Jack of nativity and the carryover VI nee then has been heavy. Kales of best dressed stock were reported iliir- ' ln the last 24 hours at 11 to He a pound, the latter being an extreme flg tire. Uv.o geese have been dull at t tf lflfl a poond, Ducks navH not been arriving very freely, but there 13 a lull in the de- . n.and In this line. CHICKEN MARK ITT DRAGGING Market for chickens is a dragging affair along the sleeet. Live birds generally arn quoted at 11c for best offerings with ataggy stuff weak and depressed about 3c off. Sales of dressed chickens are reported from 11 to 13c MEAT MARKETS ARK STEADY Market for country Wiled meats Is Knowing a Hteaily tone nlong the street. While la some quarters weakness is shown for either veal or hogs, in gen eral the market Is about holding its own. ONION PRICE SHADED AGAIN Onions are showing a slight trend of weakness in the Front street trade. . While the general Jobbing price among the trade here stands at $1.50 a cental, some are shading down to $1.40 for beat uuality. fish Trade is very limited Am iimtiu.1 for this neriod of the , season there is little activity in the fresh fisti trade with prices uncnangert. Practically no salmon is now coming from the Columbia, but the trade is securing its nominal requirements from other streams. APPLE MOVEMENT IS GOOD Quite good movement of apples is Shown locally at fractionary bettor prices for "C grade. Some of this quality, which was hard td sell a short time ago at 7.ri(fi)8.'c.. is now more easily commanding 90c $1 a box. BRIEF NOTES OF THE TRADE Banana train was reported In this morning. Lettuce market is still badly demor alised. tlood cabbage is holding steady at formpr prices. Butter market is weaker but prices - are practically unchanged. 1 SnipPEIWf WEATHER NOTICE ' Weather bureau sends the following notice to shippers: Protect shipments as far north as ' Seattle against minimum temperatures of about 40 degrees: northeast to Sno ' kane, 24 degrees: southeast to Roise, 20 degrees; south to Ashland. 40 de ! grees.

XL SLXLt FRESH EGGS ARE IN LARGER SUPPLY AND - PRICE IS DROPPING Farther Loss in Quotations Today Along the Street With the Trade Weak at 38c Generally; Cold Storage Is Pressing Factor. While some of the trade Is still nominally quoting- as high as 40c a dozen for fresh ranch egga, the general market today is weak at : 3Sc for candled offerings. One of the city creameries refused a shipment of fresh supplies from the country during the last 24 hours be cause. It is stated, its holdings were already heavier than it could profit ably take 'care of. Keceipts of fresh egg's along the street are slowly increasing, while the demand snows no improvement. The pressing of so much cold storage stock on the market is still a demoralizing factor, because holders are exceedingly anxious to clean up and prices are being shaded right and left whenever there is a possible chance to do busi ness. Conditions in the egg trade all along the coast are far from showing- a fa vorable sign, and in practically all markets lower prices have resulted. The outlook for tne Immediate future is therefore for i lower trend of values all along- the coast. Chicago Wheat Is Lower for Session I Market Closes With Loss of to lMc; GnJf Reports Export Trade Very High. Chicago, Dec. 20. Wheat closed j1Uc lower. The one important bearish influence for the wheat trade today appeared to be the absence of anything like the export demand which has been the chief support for the market of late. A little export business was reported by the Gulf at the highest prenvium on the crop. Cash wheat news from Omaha. Kansas City and St, Louis is bullish, and it is hard to buy in large quantities in the coun try. This feature is restricting ex port business in that quarter. Seaboard interests acted a litle bear ish during the morning, a reflection of cable reports of more liberal Argen tine offers. Considering the break in wheat, the decline in corn is moderate. Local trade seemed to be Influenced by the j track. j easier wheat market and corn was ab- Alillstuffs are generally quoted flrm sorbed at the decline by cash and er and hiohor ed an urgent demand for cash at He to lc higher. Peoria and Omaha were firm and higher. Range of Chicago prices furnished by Overbeck & Cooke company, 216 217 Board of Trade building: WHEAT. Month Pee. . . May .. July . . Dec. .. May .. July . .

""mjo, Mew Yors, GENERAL BUSINESS NEWS Padfic Northwest Timber Orders for Railroad Ties for Delivery in Eng land and France. CALIFORNIA BUYS PORTLAND FURNITURE Keen interest is being manifested. by local lumber exporting firms as well as exporters from other Pacific northwest ports, in the effort to land the lion's share of the orders for 35, 000,000 to 50,000,000 feet of timber consisting chiefly of railroad ties for use in England or France. The Pa cific Export Lumber company is one of the local firms which is out to cap ture this business. Previous inquiries from England for this material strengthens the belief that there is every indication that the Baltic source of supply will be cut off for a long tlme.! WVD. Wheelright of the Pacific Ex port Lumber company said: "Should the Pacific coast land the bulk or all of this new business it will prove a boon to the lumber industry here. The South American countries and Aus tralia are also heavy buyers.! This trade has formerly been handled chief ly from the countries bordering on the Baltic, Of course the Atlantic coast mills are formidable competitors for the business. But the fact remains that the closing of the Baltic to ship ping for any extended period means that tho great supply source of that region will be eliminated and that the American exporters must necessarily step in to fill the breach. I predict a renewed activity in the lumber indus try in the near future." Furniture Plant Qeta Order. The Frceland Furniture company an nounces the sale of a large number of library tables to the Doernbecher Manufacturing company for delivery to Los Angeles jobbers. The ship ment is one of the most Important made by the local furniture plant for several months and it indicates the high esteem in which Oregon-made furniture is held in the sister state. The order was placed" with the Free land company because the plant spe cializes . in tables, a non-competing line so far as the business affects th Doernbecher company. The Freeland plant reports that business is ! excep tionally good at this time of the year. The plant will not close down a single day this season. It has been customary to shut down the plant in order that repairs can be made to machinery and an inventory taken of stock. This temporary cessation usually occurs in the New Tear holiday season and the general practice has been to lay off the working force for at least two weeks. "We cannot afford to lose a minute this year," said L. A, Freeland, vice preiiident of the firm. "Our plant will be kept running full time. Wo have many orders ahead and in order to take care of these and keep on hand a sufficient amount of stock fori fu ture demands we have decided to work straight through the 'season. In creased business is expected next spring and we want to be ready to handle it." The Freeland plant ships its product to all sections, of the Pa cific northwest and enjoys a large local trade. Embargo Hit a Babber Industry, The Rubber Club of America, which includes in its membership the lead ing rubber manufacturers and Import ers of the United States, declares that a situation of the utmost gravity con fronts the American rubber manufac turing industry as a re-sult of the ab solute embargo placed by the British government on the exportation of crude rubber from Great Britain and her colonies. Roughly speaking, this means tiie cutting off of over 50 per cent of the normal supplies of crude rubber required by the Industry in the I nited States. Unless England con sents to at least a partial removal of this embargo at an early date,; It will mean many idle men in rubber manu facturing centers, and a substantial increase in the price of all articles manufactured of rubber, from auto motile tires to rubber bands. The reason for Great Britain's drastic ac tion is to be found in her determina tion to nrevent Germany and her al lies absolutely from obtaining any of the crude rubber grown On the great plantations in the British colo nies of Ceylon and the Federated Ma lay states. The importance of rub ber in the present war is evident from the extensive use of automobiles for all kinds of transpoort, as well as rubber footwear, ground sheets; cloth ing and balloon fabrics. Germany is willing to pay almost any price to obtain crude rubber, and it is only natural that Great Britain should take every precaution to prevent rub ber from reaching her enemies. Nev ertheless, it is felt by the American rubber industry that her interests would be thoroughly protected by guarantees against the re-exportation of rubber, which both manufacturers and importers are willing to give. Under the circumstanres It ; seems that Great Britain is placing an un ajo PORTLAND IMPROVEMENT BONDS INCOME TAX EXEMPT PRICE ON LUMBERMENS Fifth and Ladd & Tilton Bank Established 1859 CAPITAL AND, SURPLUS $2,OOO.OOfliro0 .
