THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 5, 1915. 14 SCARCITY OF STEADe TONE NOW SHOWING FOR EGGS , UPON FRONT STREET General Market Is Holding Well at . 18c for Case Count With - Candled Bringing the Usual ' Premium Above This Figure. Somawhat steadier tone la showing for eggs In the local market with case : count 1 generally " holding - at IS hie n dozen. Candled are, Quoted from hc to lc higher than ' this. Receipts of . eggs along the street are less favorable, and tor that reason alone' the trend of the trade Is slightly improved. There -has been so much bearishness expressed by those who waul, vu store hi einenie iu w pritej that tlie Portland market has recently been beaten down to a lower level tuau other cities along the coast. ! Buying - by outsiders at Willamette valley points recently has taken a 'large per cent of the arrivals from this section. This, together with the Increased demand which naturally fol- . lows the quoting of lower values, ha3 created ' a generally better feeling all along the line. . While some fears are expressed by the trade regarding the 'future of the Chinese eggs, It is believed generally that the uangec from Mongolian stock : has been much overestimated. VEAIi T MARKET RATHER SLOW - - -;i t -., , , showing ' general depression along Front street.

Sales are generally, .reported at 13 Vic for hens and mixed lots, with extra fancy stuff bringing . the usual premium. A fair demand is shown for heavy ducks. Turkeys i e- main slow. NEW POTATOES SELL SLOW i " , New Florida potatoes are showing less favorable demand than expected although quality is quite fair.

SALMON SEASON IS CLOSED WHEN FISH AND DEMAND BEST Local Trade Unable to Secure Its Requirements Vhen Stock Is , Prime; California Unable to Fill Demand From the Outside. With the best demand shown for many months, the local trade Is tin able at present to secure more than a nominal supply of fresh salmon. Chl nooks especially are scarce' with the price firm at yesterday's advance and a similar trend is shown for steel beads, i , -, With the Lenten demand always better for salmon than during other periods, the local season for the taking of salmon is closed and naturally .this is the cause of much protest tctin tho wholesale fish trade. ' The wholesale trade argues that the season should be allowed to open earlier in the spring and close earlier than at present . in the fall months. During that time the fish are of beat quality while durlngthe late summer and early fall they are generally of inferior quality, scarcely suitable for consumption. - What makes the fresh salmon situa tion critical at this time is the fact that, while -as a rule in normal sea sons the trade here can secure its needs from the Sacramento river of California, none are at present avail able from there. . err. ease lots, 84s; less than case lots, c lb. extra.

The Dardanelles are still attracting world-wide atten tion, but the trade here has at last come to the conclusion that the formal opening of the straits will mean-' ex actly what the public had figured upon. The effect of the Dardanelles has likely been discounted several Umes over in the lowering of values. The real bearish factor in the mar ket at this time is the absence of suit able protection for ships of the allies. If the i Dardanelles are opened and the shipping of .England and France can be assured of suitable protection there will likely be a call for grain almost unheard of previously. The ' Russian shipments will not likely prove a de moralizing condition then. Flour market continues stagnant, with cutting of patent quotations con tinued. -No open cuts have as yet been made.

Wheat closed with a. net loss of lc for May and unchanged for July, after one of the most erratic sessions of recent days. Market, opened with a loss of 2c to 3c for May and l6c for July. "'It was strong and weak by turns all through the session. There was a report that British In terests had purchased the Argentina crop of 191$, bu this was subsequent ly denied. The Report at first caused general covering here. - ' Broomhall cabled that Ll-verpool wheat opened under pressure of weak American cables and improved politi cal news. There is a general lack of confidence in prices and both winters and La Platas are one shilling lower. Spot market weak and 2 to 4 pence decline. Ttfere is a belief here that future offers will be more In line with buyers' views. Argentina offers are large and pressed for sale with In dian offers liberal.

Cutting of creamery butter prices has almost become general in the local market during the last 24 hours. While this is denied by some Interests, the bills' of the buyers show this condi tion to be general. With the spring season advancing and the output of butter naturally beginning to incieare. some of the country creameries 'are already show ing a surplus and naturally this is having Its effect upon the general trade. While denials are made It is stated that city creameries are likewise cut ting prices although no general change has as yet been named in list prices. Absence of eastern fresh or Califor nia butter from the local market is naturally an aid to the trade here and enables creamery Interests to hold the price whenever they seek to do so. Butter prices in the ast have been abnormally high during the last few weeks; In fact, ..have shown this con dition most of the season.

Among the many ;booms and boom lets and boomkinsj tliat have beert floating about recently. for the Repub lican presidential nomination in 1916 Is one for Senator Theodore E. Bur ton of. Ohio, whose term expired at high noon yesterday Ohio has furnished generously . ot her cltizenery for the presidential of fice In past years, 'and many of Mr. Burton's friends entertain an opinion that he is just the man to bring fur the laurels to that state. Not that Mr. Burton J s without opposition, how ever, for former Ambassador Myron T. Herrlck has' a boorakln at least," and Governor Frank B. Willis has a boom let. And even former Senator Joseph B. Poraker has been: mentioned. The significance of Senator Burton's boom, however, lies In the fact that he has engaged passage on the good ship Metapan leaving New York March 20 for Havana. ; . This sea voyage will be the first leg of a 10 months' trip through South America and the orient. During this time the senator will visit practically every South American country as a. semi-official visitor, and it is " said that in China he will be entertained by the president of the Flowery Repubr lie- i The trip has as its stated, object the study of other lands and the pro motion of friendly relations with them. ; Mr. Burton's friends do not say what they will be doing all the time he is away, but they are positive that by the time he has returned he, will be a full fledged candidate for the presidency. i Perhaps they have in mind Roose velt's . fcrlumphal return from the Af xican hunting grounds, or Taft's swfng around the world just previous to his nomination. - , . '" Statistics compiled by the commis sioner of -accounts of New York city Bhow that next to the president of the United States, the sheriff of New York county has the largest Income of any public official In the country.

" Voters of New Jersey will vote on the question of equal suffrage at a special election to be held in Septem ber, an equal suffrage resolution hav ing twice passed the legislature as re quired by law. The suffrage cause has made great strides In the past few weeks. In six states New York, - New Jersey, Mas sachusetts, Arkansas, Tennessee and West Virginia resolutions ror sui- frage amendments have been passed by both houses 61 the legislatures. Beanings toward suffrage were also evidenced In other states, notably Iowa, Vermont and Delaware. m m The Tuesday preceding the first session of the Sixty-fourth congress has been set for a caucus of KepuJo- licans In the next house. Not the tariff, but the inefficiency of manufacturers. Is pointed out by Secretary of Commerce Redfield In a recent report as the reason for-losses of trade by American pottery manu facturers. Showing; that although the duties have been reduced from 56 to 35 per cent on undecorated and from 60 to 40 per cent on decorated earthen ware. Imports of "piJttery have in creased under the first 12 months or the new tariff but ; half a million of dollars, Mr. Redfield declares that the potters of the united States nave no adequate conception of the costs of production In their own coutnry Ho denies that competitive prices are de termined solely by costs of production and asserts that other factors, includ ing transportation, customs duties and incidental charges, are sufficient Jto offset the difference In Initial cost. "The standard list upon which American potters base their selling price Is obsolete," he says. "Complete revision is necessary before American potters can intelligently sell their wares "There is distinct need for more scientific methods of production, which can be brought about only by highly skilled Instruction and more scientific research work." f ' The investigation covered pottery plants in several European countries and In 48 American establishments. Robert M. Swelteer, who surprised- a number of people by defeating Carter norrisnn for the Democratic mayoralty nomination in Chicago, has extended the olive branch to' the Harrison Tac tion in that city and prospects for Democratic harmony in the Windy City are good. The Harrisonites have stated definitely' that they will not put an independent candidate in the field. I On the basis of figures compiled by the Republican national committee.

Through the purchase of 120 acre of land six , miles south of Ashland, Or. the - Schanen-Blair Company Mar ble and Granite Works of Portland, has acquired what Is" said to be soma of the finest granite deposits In the country.. 'The quarry is now in a pro cess of development, and from the re ports jusfbrought back by N. A. Scha nen, president of the company, the quality of fctone is first class. "We are certain that -the 'granite ; will com pare favorably with much of the' Im ported variety," said Mr. Schanen. "Heretofore we 'have been getting granite for monuments abroad in Nor way and " Scotland, and at Vermont, in this country. I am so well pleased with the Oregon product; however, that. I see no Xurtherneed of Import ing this kind of stone. We expect to supply the , Oregon, Washington, and Idaho trade from the product of the new quarry. The monuments will be finished" ih-our own plant In this city. One advantage with the Oregon prod uct is in the matter of freight rates. From Vermont-the rate is $1 a hun dred pounds, whereas from Ashland the rate to Portland is 16 cents a hun dred." .We are now building an auto mobile road Connecting the station on the Southern Pacific at Mistletoe with the quarry, and have made arrange ments to have electricity for power purposes 'in drilling and In handling the derricks.
