O'ne large local firm has already
; started storage operations iu eggs and

of lty.c a dozen for case count f. a. h.
Portland, -- Dealers declare that the

cancelled It because It had already re
ceived Its immediate want's in this re
gard. -
: The general quotation for the sale of
case count eggs along the street today
was 18c a dozen with candled from c
to lc better.
While the general ideas of the egg
trade1 are that valus for the "flush"
period this season will rule lower than
a year ago, .few are willing to believe
, that the market will drop to 12c as
indicated. by some of the big. packing
. interests.
Receipts of eggs along the street
ire not so liberal. This is said to be
cue to the fact -that other. Interests
were offering more, inoneyf and were
getting the shipments. !
Market for eggs is generally quoted
steady here today with no indications
of any immediate change.
CHICKEN MARKET IS QUIET

strength along the street and cleanups
of hens and so called mixed lots are

RIPE BANANAS ARE SCARCE

I'ractically all of the seven cars that

POTATO MARKET IS EASIER
Vity little business from the out
side available, and then only af lower
jtricetM local buying interests for ship

JR SEASON
lOfJ: EXPERIMENT j
MAY. 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 '

' Coarse grains are showing consider
able, strength in the country and prices
there. " 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

Dardanelles Play
Important Part in
Wheat Pit Trade
Chicago, March' 4. 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 -

Only a limited run pf hogs was
shown at North Portlaind overnight
and a further advance of a nickel was
forced for tops at $7116. The report
of the stock yards company clearly
reflects the smaller supplies, available
here recently, although the year to
date shows a fair increase over the
same period in 1914. However, the
greater marketing was done during
the first months of .the year.,
The swine; market conditions Here
are stronger as a result of the very
limited receipts and killers were there

lambs from Montana. : These were
quickly picked up by the trade at $8,45
or within a nickel of the former ex
treme top. !
General, trade conditions for mutton

Russia and France Are Not
Blamed for Commencing
the War, Declares Writer
CLAIMS FOOD SUFFICIENT
Son in Tield Tells of Terrible Emo
tions of Marching Over Dead
and Wounded.
Instead of "How do you do?" the
universal greeting- in Germany is now
"God punish England," writes a
brother, to Adam Bell of Cornelius,
Or., In a letter dated llgershelm, Mer
gentheim, Wurtembergr, Germany, Jan
uary 17., The feeling against England
is intense, he writes, for "starting the
war." Russia and Prance are not
blamed.
"We have an awfui:iot of prisoners
of war here," he says,: "and must keep
the English and'' French separated or
they would kill each other, for they
have learned who is responsible for
these battles England.
"News of the commencement of war
was receives with composure here, and
we are determined to win. My oldest
son is in the hospital -service at Stutt
gart. My oldest daughter, who -was
in a convent, has gone to Stuttgart
too and- is acting as a nurse, and my
(-second son Is at the front: He was in
France from July till November and
fought aj Ypres. Thence he was
transferred to Russia; with 1 he Twen-ty-siTth
divisloiv. He is all right, but
has had some hard experiences. For
30 days he did Wot write to us and we
worried, but-at times forwarding of
mail becomes tedious. My third son-
mustered in yesterday January 16, in
the infantry to begin service in March.
"Our town has been ; fortunate as for
numbers killed in action, only three
having been reported co far, but many
have been wound"!. Wurtemberg,
however, has participated actively in
the war, and more than 6000 of its men
have been killed. Wejihave more tharr
100 battalions in Belgium on guard
duty, and there are quite a few Rus-"
sian spies in Germany. For this rea
son the soldiers are cautious In writ
ing letters to their folks. ' Men from
20 to 42 years are now under arms.
Health resorts Jiere have been trans
formed into hospitals, and there, are
about 600 wounded here now being
cared for; The farmers supply therq
liberally "with milk - and all kinds of
vegetables. Flour is worth 50 marks
per hundredweight, cattle are quoted at
45 marks per. hundredweight on hoof,
and potatoes at 4 marks per hundred-
j weight. We have an abundance -of cattle-and
feed here.. The most noticeable
I shortage is in coal oil.
"My son", who has been in several
j battles, writes that one cannot describe
! the terrible sensation of marching over
, thousands of dead and wounded, who
. groan and cry for help. This boy is 40
kilometers from Warsaw. We pray for
victory and an early peace."
Factories! All f Running. (
Mrs. M. J. Helnl, of 248 Mallory av
enue, has received a letter trom a
cousin, J. Weltio, in Baden, dated Jan
uary 22, -in which he states that in his
district not one factory has been closed
down and that , they are all running
overtime. He has a ton in the war
who was promoted to' underofficer in
the campaign at Mulhausen where he
was slightly wounded, f :
"It is awful how they lie about Ger
many to lower us' in the eyes of the'
people of the world," he writes, "but it
makes no difference,: for our cause
stands good. Not 'a Frenchman, except

Disappointment is felt over the ii
ability to procure a quantity or flbi

celved a message from the consul gei
eral at Rotterdam stating that It woul
be impossible to obtain the fibre ser

tlie state board of control will doohi
to purchase about 600 bushels of tli
seed from- a company in Ysle, Mlci
should the board decline to buy froi
the Michigan firm-it is probable thi

the seed and supply it to the farmei
at cost. An effort will be inadt al
to secure free transportation !of th
seed by the railroads. 1
