RESULT IN AN E Confederated Growers' Association . Preparing Crated Stock to Send to the New York Market' by Steamer; Movement Is jBetter. Rush orders are being received for onions from Puget sound. andi the price of No.' 1 is being held firm at $1 a' cental, t. ,o. b. countrvj shipping points by the Confederate association. Some sales are being made, below this price, but -the stock- is not classed ai fancy. ! ' The better feeling In the bnton trade Is not confined to Puget sound, but the local market is beginning to feel the effect of the Increased de mand. While shipments to California are not yet liberal, the- movement in that direction is fair. Most of the shipments are being made to interior cities of the south. i According to "W. I. Swank, selling agent for the Confederate association, the first real trial in shipping Oregon onions" in crates to the Atlantic sea board will be made about March 11 on a steamer leaving this- city, i Members of the Confederate association have agreed to each donate a crate of com mercial run of fancy stock. ; Kaon crate will be labeled with the name of the grower. After the- i shipment reaches New Tork it is the plan of the association to invite "the leaders of the trade , to view the stock and ex amine the quality. No effort will be. made during the remainder of the sea son to cultivate the Atlantic! seaboard trade, but the test Is to bet made to secure markets for other seasons. A trial shipment in sacks has already ben made by steamer t New York, but no report of the condition of the onions has thus far! been re ceived. - ' I ' selling price $1.00 f. o. b. country points; garlic. 17Mc.

" are relatively higher than at tidewater points. Both oats and bar ley are scarce in the interior and practically no offers to sell have been made to Portland interests recently. This is due to the fact that prevailing stocks in the Interests are not more than the actual requirements of the home trade. The fact that Portland Is lower rela tively - for barley than the Interior really means that speculative interests at tidewater have been somewhat anx ious to get from under. The Portland prices, too, are higher than San Fran cisco, therefore the general barley mar ket situation is somewhat mixed. The report received that a cargo of red wheat had. been sold on Puget pound to go to Japan could not be con firmed either there or here by the trade, No business Is reported passing in the interior because growers there are asking more money than ; tired speculative holders here are willing to sell at. 1 CLOVER SEED -r- Buying price: Nominal No. 1 uncleaned, lH6S12c; ordinary, 11c pound; alsike, 11c.

Persistent bom barding of the Dardanelles by the fleets of the allies played a very im portant part in wrecking the price of wheat today. Closing1 values .were 4 c lower for Mav and 4c for July. May opened at $1.43 to $1.44, or 44c to lower than yesterday, while July was c off. There was momen tary strength after the opening, but late in the session the news of the war created a stampede among longs to liquidate and the low point was quickly reached. Fair recovery was made later on short covering. Broomhall cabled from Liverpool wheat was firmer on American cables yesterday and unfavorable- weather re ports from Argentina. This, with strength in Buenos Aires,' served " to offset other influences. - After the lower opening the market steadied. Winters and La PI at as both sold at yesterday morning's: prices with spot market steady, i lower to d high er, with strength iri Manltobas. Un favorable weather reports from India and a reported better demand from France and Spain helped to sustain values. General market, was dull but steady. ' j - WHEAT Open. Mhth. Low.
