SURFAC
E STRE
IN FRESH EGGS NOW
GOOD ALONG STREET
Market Is Firmer and Higher Gen
erally for Local Ranch Although
Storage Stock Is Being Offered
at Almost Any Old Figure.
- On the surface .there Is considerable,
strength in the market' for eggs here,
but the exact reason is not apparent.
While the cooler weather has curtailed
the supplies of fresh offerings slightly,
still they . have been quite fair re
cently. - - -
Cold storage stock is still going
abegging and sales of good quality are
reported In lots as low as 17c a dozen,
while in single case lots the price "of
best is scarcely above 20c at this time.
Considering this weakening factor
In the cold : storage market, there is
scarcely sufficient reason for the ad
vancing of . fresh egg prices - at this
time -although if the trade can secure
the higher figures, the market is really
established there.
There is not now the slightest doubt
that some undercurrent of manipula
tion is showing in fresh eggs. Wheth
er it is being done by those that have
cold storage stock or by the Interests
who are boosting in order to get tha
country to hold back its supplies and
then force sharp reductions when this
stuff comes forward, remains to be
seen. .
Hgih Record Made
For Wheat Is Lost
In the Late Trade
Chicago. Jan. 21. A new high rec
ord for the present season was estab
lished in the wheat market today when
May advanced to $1.45. This is c
better than any market heretofore this
season.
After the liigh point was reached
the market reeeded sharply to $1.434
and the closing was but a fraction
above this, or e a bushel better than
yesterday. July closed unchanged.
There was considerable short cov
ering nfter the opening advance of gc
for May and this continued until the
sensensational high mark was reached.

A- $7 market for patent flour is
drawing very close locally, with mill
ers' generally agreed that such a price
Is obsolutely necessary, although all
are timid about making the first move.
There has been another general ad
vance in the price of wheat at all
world's markets today. At Chicago a
new nign record was established eariy
in the session and .Paris was also
Quoting an advance.
Wheat prices at Pacific northwest
points are at the extreme mark again
with growers not anxious to 'do busi
ness. Strength in the oats and barley
trade is continued with even .more
firmness indicated today at interior
points. j-.
Further advance has been forced for
mlllstuffs by local mills with the sell
ing price of bran at $30 30.50 and
snorts at $3Z33Z.dO a ton.

for a lot of 6 000 bushel! of February.

higher on the local exchange. A sale
of 200 tons of May oats was made at

good as can be found anywhere, still

except extra select quality, and only a
very small per cent of this quality is

'
Much Interest is being taken in the
facts disclosed by Tbe Journal's Salem
dispatch . of yesterday, that Harrey
.Wells, recently appointed-insurance
commissioner by Governor Withy
combe to succeed J. W. Ferguson, who
was removed for political reasons, op
posed the bill introduced in the last
legislature providing for the regulation
of rates of fire Insurance companies.
Mr. Welia l!ed a minority report as
a member of the commission appointed
by Governor West to draft an insur
ance code. He declared It was "foolish"
for the state to enter the field of regu
lating : fire Insurance rates. So much
opposition to the bill was created by
Mr. Wells and others -representing in-
I surance interests
that tbe Dill was
I withdrawn.

1 To the contention of the fire insur
lance companies, wnicn united in etiort
to have the' law . declared unconstitu
I tfonai; that the state could not intelll-
tly determine fire insurance rates,
substantially' the same claim made by
the new Oregon commission, the Unit
ed States supreme court replied:. "They
(fire insurance rates) are the product.
it is true, of skill and experience, but
such skill and experience a regulating
board may have as well as others. It
would indeed be a strained contention
that the government could not avail
itself of the skill and knowledge poo
sessed by the companies."
The bill which Wells helped defeat
at the 1913 legislative session was re
introduced at Salem this week, and
there Is interest, as to what Mr. Wells'
attitude will be. In his position as
insurance commissioner he exercises
large Influence over insurance legisla
tion, and can be active or indifferent
in enforcing insurance laws.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT RATES ARE GIVEN
With tha view of making tha Fort-
amenaea tne constitution and ty-iaws
permitting manufacturers, . material
men and contractors from points In
the .state outside of Portland to join
the .'local organization. It is proposed

said: "The Portland Builders' Ex

Builders Want Meter System.
Builders and contractors are inter
ested in a plan proposed for changing
the method of paying for water used
In the erection of new buildings to the
metered system. Will Xaly, commis
sioner of public wprks, has the plan
under consideration, and it Is expected
that some solution of the vexed prob
lem will soon be obtained. Builders
have been complaining that they are
being overcharged for water under the
present system of paying according, to
the amount of material used In con
struction. It is pointed out that on
one job the builder was required to
pay $231.75 for water. Figured on
the metered basia this amount of
money would llave paid for 1,738,125
gallons of water, it is declared. In
this instance, however, it is declared
that but a small part of the amount

. lion Congress Indorsed in
Resolution Adopted.
The Commercial club committee ap
pointed to support the legislative pro
gram' of the Oregon IrrlgatiSfi con
gress, has unanimously adopted a res- j
oiution favoring an appropriation of
$450,000 by the legislature for Irriga
tion The resolution states that the
amount should be spent In conjunc
tion with a like amount from the gov
ernment, but .spent independently if
the government fails to cooperate.
At its very first meeting the com
mittee reached the conclusion that no
plan broad enough to solve the prob
lem of reclaiming the hundreds of
thousands of acres of Irrigable lands
in Oregon bas been formulated, and. In
fact, there is no such plan for the
west. The committee resolved to en
list the aid of others interested and
make a two-year study of the problem
with the object of formulating such a
plan.
"If we succeed, it will mean every
thing to the development of Oregon's
arid and semi-arid lands,'"said Guy W.
Talbot chairman of the committee.
The resolution adopted by tbe commit
tee reads as follows:
Resolved That this committee favor
the appropriation by the legislature of
the state of Oregon at the present
session, of the sum af $450,000 to be
used In reclamation work in central
