The run of Columbia river smelt is again small and only limited -supplies were today received In the local mar ket. The price has again advanced to Cc a pound. Shipments of late have been con fined entirely to the middle Columbia section. With the cold weather the wa ter in the Cowlitz has been extremely low and for that reason the smelt have not-entered that river, preferring to stay in deeper water. According to a local wholesale fish interest, the present season Is similar to two that lie has seen since he has been in business, when practically no smelt entered the Cowlitz during the Beason. "Todav is he first tim fop nhnnr five weeks," says Joseph O'Connor of Malarkey & Co., "that we have been able- to purchase fresh halibut in the r.orth at a fair price. While we have been able to secure only a small sup ply, the price for large fish has been reduced to 8c a pound." 12.25 per crate; rtf n onions, 25c per docea bunchea, pepiiers, bell 2oe: bead let race, $1.6K($1.75 rrate; celery. $2.252.50; egg plant, K)c; cauliflower, $1.151.25 dozen; French artichoke, 70jS5c dozen: string beans ( ); cucumber, hothouse, $1 dozen; cranber ries, eastern, 1 10 bbl.; local, iOc lb.; sprouts, 7418c lb.

Foot and mouth infection discovered among a carload of cattle shipped to Philadelphia from Chicago caused a hurried conference here of federal and state officials to discuss the advisability of establish ing a quarantine on shipments from tjnicago. ' Washington officials were asked, by wire, for instructions. It was admit ted here that the situation has some serious aspects. ' President Leonard of the Stockyards Transit company said it was not known whether the disease was present when the cattle left Chicago. An investiga tion .he said, is in brosrress to deter mine this fact. Leonard said if the cattle were infected when shipped from Chicago it might mean the local yards would have to close for fumi gation. It was pointed out, however, that a quarantine would not snut oil receipts of livestock here. Packers, it was said, could continue to slaughter cattle and send out shipments of meat as usual. Washington. Jan. 26. Denial that a quarantine had been placed upon ship ments of stock from Chicaeo. follow. ing reports from Philadelphia that cat tle from the Illinois city had been found infected with foot and mouth disease, was made today at the depart ment of agriculture. Nothing will be done in the matter, it is said, until the Philadelphia report has been veri fied. San Francisco Grain Market. Ran Francisco, Jan. 26. Barley calls: Jan. 26 Jan. 25 Open. Close. Close.

LOCAL: BUSINESS NEWS Portland Headquarters for Branch House: V Eastern Concern Which Manufactures Sfean Shovels, Placer and Dip Dredges, EtcBusiriW Outlook Good. i LOCAL MACHINERY Enters Xocal riald. Convinced that the Pacific north west offers a wider field than realized heretofore the Bucyrua company of South Milwaukee, W1b., and "Evana ville, Ind., has just opened a northwest branch here in Portland and Jias in stalled L. T. Russell as manager. The company's offices are in the Plttock block. The concern manufactures steam shovels, placer and dipper dredgesjnd things of similar nature. Air. Russell, who was attached to the Chicago office- until the branch was established here, expressed .himself as delighted at the opportunity to return to Portland, where he has resided off and on for a score of years. "We an ticipate a good business in this terri tory," he said. "Throughout the min ing regions of the northwest there are many gold placer properties carrying from 20 to 50 cents gold to the cubic yard which can be profitably operated with dredges. With the proper ma chinery available these mines can be develpped Add to this the amount of construction work necessary in new countries and the reason why the branch has been established bere is evident." Mr. Russell is well known in engineering circles. He was sta tioned in the Philippines for some time and had charge of some notable engi neering operations in the islands. Drag; Saw and Stomp Pnllar. Designed especially to meet" condi tions in Oregon and ' other Pacific northwest sections, a combination wood drag saw and stump puller is being manufactured by the Reierson Machin ery company, with offices at 107 First street and factory at. 1295-7 Hood street. The drag saw machine may also be equipped with a buzz saw. The contrivance is set on runners and can be moved about readily. The saw drug is Bald to work' perfectly on uneven and hilly land. It is light in weight, simple In design and strong and com pact in construction. It is operated by a four horsepower Waterloo gasoline engine. The makers claim the ma chine will saw 30 to 40 cords of wood a day at a cost of about four cents a which corresponds with the dispatch from Norfolk as to the number on board. She carried no passengers. A steel vessel of modern construction, she was valued at about $750,000. It is believed here that she carried a car go of sugar and tropical fruits, the value of which will run into several hundred thousand dollars. On her present westward voyage th Washingtonian did not come farther north than San Pedro, where she trans ferred shipments for Portland ant Puget sound and proceeded to Honolulu with cargo and to load for New YorK. -' The loss at this time, it is said, will be felt seriously because of the short age of available bottoms, several intra -coast steamers having been withdraw 1 recently to engage in the Atlantic trade, where unusually high freights are being paid.
