POULTRY SUPPLIES ARE
BELOW REQUIREMENTS
OF THE LOCAL T
E
Receipts of Chickens Have Been
Very Small of Late, While Call
Has Been Insistent Higher Val
ues Forced All ' Around.
- The scramble for poultry Im today
on of the greatest along the street.
The extreme scarcity of offerings of
live bird durlnii the last 10 days, to-
f ether with the -Increased call, --haa
orced values to about as high point
as they usually go here.
With ordinary lots of. hens selling
quickly at IbV&c a pound, and with a
premium available for heavy hens for
the Jewish trade, conditions are un
usually favorable for a continuation
of extreme values during the present
The call for turkeys is much more
pronounced than at any time during
the last two months. Only-extremely
limited arrivals are shown at this time
and sales are reported for selected
stock as high as 23c a . pound for
dressed. Most of the limited arrivals
of turkeys recently have been of very
Inferior quality but even then have
found a good demand at excellent
values, i
Spring chickens are coming forward
slowly . and for these the demand con
tinues urgent at full values.
EGG SENTIMENT IS MIXED
While, generally speaking sentiment
In the egg trade Indicates a slight low
ering of values here, norae of the trade
Js still Inclined to hold for last week's
closing prices. Storage interests are
less firm la their views.
MEAT OUTLOOK IS BETTER
Outlook for trade In the Front street
market . for country killed veals and
hogs is somewhat better although no
immediate change in values is Indi
cated. Receipts during the last few
days have been limited.
ROPE PRICES ARE HIGHER
Local Jobbing interests report an
improvement in the rope market. To
day's prices show an advance of Me
for sisal and '6c each for white sisal
and for standard inanUa grades.
ORANGES COMING BY RAIL
Owing to the failure of the steam
ship Great Northern to continue its
voyage, rail shipments of oranges were
-again reported by the local trade to
day. The stock is said to show far
less shrinkage than by steamer.
ASPARAGUS MARKET IS GOOD
' 'Quite good tone is shown In the lo
cal market for asparagus. While re
ceipts from the south were quite fair
today, the steamer Bear bringing fair
supplies, the trend of the trade was
firm at 89c for flats.
POTATOES SHOW STRENGTH
While advices indicate that both the
San Francisco and Los Angeles pota
to markets are filled, some buying for
the south la still reported.? Owing to
the scant offerings in the country
growers are asking more money than
shippers say they can pay at present.

OF WOOL MARKET STILL REFLECTING MUCH STRENGTH
CALIFORNIA
BUTTER IS OFFERING
' BUT TRADE IS SAME
Too Uttle . Difference Between the
irice Southern Product Can Be
Sold at and the Ixcal Make to
Hurt the Home Output.
While heavier supplies of California
butter are coming in. this direction as
a result of the extremely low prices
In effect at San Francisco, little, if
a.1y -hnger is Indicated In the local
situation.
According to one of the leading
creamery interests, the demand of the
last few days has enabled makers to
clean up their entire output and In
some quarters an actual shortage of
best local make is indicated.
While the flush period of cream ship
ments will not be reached for some
time, still the fact that Ice cream man
ufacturers are scouring the" country
for supplies, is in Itself a -strong fac
tor in maintaining the price of butter
and butterfat here.
Local trade is not very much In
clined to take up the California butter
even at the lower prices except per
haps for the cheaper class trade. How
ever there Is at this time not suf
ficient difference between the price d'f
the local product and what the Cali
fornia output can be sold for here.

EAST. IS I
WOOL SUPPLY :
THE NORTHWEST
While So Open Attempts Are Be
ing Made at Present to Purchase
Fleece, SUll Representatives Are
Ijooking Ove Situation. '
While operating under cover be
cause of the fear of exciting growers
to hold for still more money, eastern
woolen Interests are Inquiring more
generally for wool at Pacific north
west, points. ;
Although surface indications are that
the market is somewhat depressed,
with mill interests not.inclined to even
consider the values asked by Pacific
northwest sheepmen, there are. some
reports of strong bidding on the part
of th mills. -
Shearing operations have started In
some sections of the interior, but 'will
not become general for some time.
Weather conditions will btecome a
strong factor in this. F
In a special advice from Bradford,
England, United States Consul Augus
tus E. Ingram writes regarding the
wool situation:
"Owing to the embargo no raw wool
was shipped from Bradford during
November and December, but In Jan
uary a few licenses for merino wool
and noils were granted, f the exports
of which in January amounted to
$26,711. as contrasted with $878,113 in
January, 1914. The number of licenses
granted and of shipments made is
slowly increasing. The delay In
granting licenses, whichhas seriously
affected shipments to the. United
States, has been caused In part ny
the large number of applications; but
it Is understood that a new depart
ment Is to be opened in London espe
cially to deal with such matters.
No Wool Topa Exported.
"The embargo still affects the ex
portation of wOol tops to the; United
States. None have been shipped" since
last October, although many applica
tions have been made for licenses to
ship merino tops.
. "The exportation of woolen yarns,
which was stopped last October by the
embargo, was resumed at the close
of the year; so far as merino yarn
are concerned. In . January the ex
ports amounted to $62,610, which is a
big reduction from the business done
prior to the outbreak of the war. In
July the shipments amounted to
$179,017.
. "The exportation to the United
States of woolen cloths (worsteds and
woolens) and of woolen dress goods
fell off in Jannarv. amounting to
$181,731 and $236,278, respectively, as
compared with $238,888 and $404,068
in December last.
Exports tp United States.
"The exports of all articles from
this district to the United States lu
January amounted to only $1,121,815,
as compared with $2,687,234 in Janu
ary, 1914, and $3,580,432" In Jury, 1914.
"Merchants state that the dress
goods trade with the United States
has been of lat generally below nor
mal. Shippers have been working
mostly on old contracts; fresh orders
have not been coming forward freely.
One merchant remarked that the
American demand lately had- been the
poorest for la or 15 years. The same
conditions are present in the lining
trade, both in cottons and wool and
cotton, or "stuff," linings, as tiiey are
locally called. Cotton goods ("have
naturally declined in price, though the
dyeing expenses have increased prob
ably 20 per cent. During the last week
or two slight improvement has been
noted and it is i hoped that there will
be a steady improvement
. "Many local manufacturers are ex
tremely D.usy on government orders,
so that one hears frequently of the
boom in. the textile industries of the
West Riding, of. Yorkshire and the
great difficulty of getting deliveries.
This boom, however, is irregular, and
some firms who have devoted them
selves " to American trade, and others
who have narrow looms some have
turned to ' makine army shirtinza
are somewhat unsteady. Still, there
is a Dig nome iraae now mat no con
tinental goods are coming in, and
large orders for dress ' goods from
France are being filled In Bradford."
Stagnant Tone Is
Shown for Hides at
A Price Reduction
Owing to the stacrnant demand for
hides in the east and the sharp losses
in the price elsewhere, the local mar
ket is generally showing a loss of lc a
pound today.
Even at this reduction the market is
far from healthy, and a further and
similar decline is expected tomateri
alize within the. next few days.. All
dry and salt hides are affected.
WOOL RECEIPTS HEAVIER
Boston. Mass.. March 29. It has
been a quiet week in wool, save for
the activities attending the turning
over of foreign clips. The primary
domestic market also are quiet, as
growers generally are asaing more for
their clips than eastern buyers are
prepared to pay.-
In Nevada growers are reported to
have refused 22c for the new clips.
They are holding out for 25c, which,
on the basis of average shrinkage,
would mean from 80c to S5c clean
laid down here.
' There's a difference of at least 3c
a pound between buyers and sellers
in Montana, as well as in Nevada,
while In the fleece wool sections the
growers' ideas are really prohibitive.
"Following are the receipts and
shipments of wool for the week ended
March 25, with comparison figures In
pounds: Receipts, .domestic, this
week, 2,442,406: last week, 1,417,136;

v Some small, selling of wheat is re
ported at' interior points at prevailing
bids bflt the bulk of the holdings are
not being offered. The probable move
ment of wheat to Austraiiaaidjring the
remainder of the season is .afCfacting
the attention of the trade here. While
buyers in the colonies are looking for
supplies, evidently they have not yet
made up their minds whether they are
Willing to pay prevailing figures for
additional supplies, or wait until our
next crop is ready.
Australia needs wheat for the future
but iits recent purchases here have en
abled the trade, to secure sufficient
for awhile. Even the fact that stocks
will be needed at the opening of the
coming season is cheering news to
the trade here.
Interest is also shown In the gov
ernment announcement of its needs of
oats and hay for shipment to the Phil
ippines. The bids call for 3000 tons
of the former and 4000 tons of the
latter. Bids will not be opened until
April 27 therefore this is having no im
mediate effect upon the market.

Chicago Wheat Is

Shorts Purchase
Chicago. Mar Ai 29. Wheat closed
lTo, higher for May, 2V4c for July and
2Me for September. Market opened
unchanged for May, 4e off, for July
an c up for September.' -
Short covering was responsible for
the late advance In all options, r
Considerable short covering was in
evidence. ' Many traders believe that
a period of liquidation is at hand, and
bulges which come from time to time
as the result of an oversold pit con
dition will not be sustained. They
believe that all bullish conditions have
been discontinued. The peace talk has
a tendency to discourage holders.

Seaborg Will Have
Salmon Cannery to
. Pack . Rogue Fish
Mashfleld, Or.. March '29. Another
large salmon cannery Is to be estab
lished on the Bogus river in. Curry
county. For 40 years the lata R. D.
Hume held absolute' sway on Itogue
river and kept away all other opposi
tion. The Hume state was purchased
by' the Msfcleay estate of Portland and
operated under the name of the Wed
derburn Trading company and for sev
eral years has been the only canning
plant on the river. This company has
a large and "modern cannery and em
ploys a large number of men and gives
work to many fishermen. The new
enterprise is to be started by B. A.
Seaborg. an old time packer,- He has
leased from A. Miller a tract of land
about two miles -up the river from the
ocean and will build a large and mod
ern cannery. . He will use scows to
bring the canned fish down the river
to Gold Beach where it is expected a
city - wharf will - be constructed. Mr.
Seaborg has agreed to build the wharf
for -the city if it is authorized. He'
has made a contract with the gasoline
schoonerRandolph to carry his prod
uct from Rogue river -to Portland and
to bring his supplies down from Port
land. ,
Mr, Seaborg has made contract with
many of the Rogue river fishermen to
tae their fish and will pay 75 cents
each ,for Chinook salmon. He say
that the Rogue river salmon are of
the finest quality and that he -will be
able to, can a superior product. He
has also contracted with those who
own the fishing grounds on Pistol
river to take their fish which-will b-s
transported 20 'miles over the wagon
road to Gold Beach.
The pew concern will employ a large
number of men and will bring added
payroll' to the Rogue river country.
With both of the companies operating
this season will see more activity in
that section -of Curry county than ever
before in its history, even more than
during the most prosperous times, of
It. D. Hume, who was known for years
as the "King of Rogue River." t
.Mr. Seaborg is an old-timer .In the
cannery business.' He started fears
ago as a fisherman on the ColuniMa
river and has built many Canneries in
different localities and has always
made money at the business, he says.
Recently Mr. Seaborg has been living
in Josephine - county - where he had
some timber holdings, but he will here
after make his home on Rogue river.
