    PRICE OF COLUMBIA RIVER
EGG MARKET SHOWS
SUFFICIENT DEMAND
TO CLEAN ATMS.
Receipts Are Again Increasing
Along the Street Puget Sound
':' Buyers Are Most Bearish Along;
the Entire Coast.
' Market for eggs Is showing a fur
ther trace of weakness. Efforts to
' secure more than , the local basis In
outside markets have failed notwith
standing the alleged higher prides in
effect on Puget sound. An advice from
a prominent Seattle house to a local
nmmtitAn man todar stated .that they
would not want any eggs from here
Unless they could be obtained at 17c
or 18o at the extreme. This Indicated
that Northern interests were even more
bearish than here because cleanups by
local houses are still reported at 18c
for case count, although the market is
really showing no snap to the buying.
.Receipts of eggs are again showing
an Increase and most houses are car
rying a surplus. Candled stock, of
which but little is being sold at this
time because of the excellence gen
erally of case count offerings, is being
quoted at 19c a dozen.
Storage operations continue liberal
and the entire surplus is being rushed
Into the Ice bouses, although storage
' men are operating with some misgiv
ings regarding the future trend of the
trade.
BUTTER MARKET TO DROP
V There will be a drop in the price of
creamery butter here within the next
day or so. So say local creamery in
terests. While the California market
has made an unexpected advance, still
" the local situation Is weaker as a re
sult of the recnt cutting.
FRESH SALMON VERY SCARCE
Fresh salmon remains very scarce
In the local market with only Alaska
Chlnooka offering. These are priced
-strong at 164c a pound. Halibut mar
ket is weaker and, sharply lower with
values at 5 7c a -pound.
CHICKEN DEMAND BETTER
- Market for chickens Is slightly bet
ter along the street with sales of heavy
Plymouth Rock hens at 16c general
ly. Demand is improved even though
' receipts are somewhat .heavier again.
rVEAL MARKET IS OFF AGAIN
i . .
Market for country killed calves is
- again In bad shape with prices mixed
' and offerings very liberal. Sales of
real good quality are reported at 100
lOVic. Hogs are generally held at 9V4c
for extreme quality.
POTATO DEMAND IS BETTER
Demand is Improved In the local
market for potatoes, although no fur
ther change is shown in prices. Local
growers are offering sparingly and the
trade generally is looking to outside
points for their needs.
BRIEF NOTES OF THE TRADE
Banana train was' unloaded today.
Fruit good but green.
Local asparagus In larger supply
with price down to $1.25 dozen.
Carload of Florida tomatoes is due
here tomorrow. ,
Fancy peas are offering from Hay-
- ward, CaL. at 12c here.

Washington, April 7. The average
condition of winter wheat on April 1
was 88.8 par cent, aa compared wita
9S.6 per cent on April 1, 1914, accord
ing, to a statement Issued by the crop
board of the department of agricul
ture here today. The average for 10
years has been 87.8 per cent.
The average condition of rye on
April 1 was 89.S per cant normal as

Late yesterday afternoon after The
Journal wis published, local millers
made an open cut of 20c per barrel in
the price of patent flour, placing the
card price at $6.80. where most of the
sales have been made recently.
Trade In patent flour - continues
stagnant.; There is no life to the busi
ness in any direction and the open cut
in the price is not expected to help
matters.
Jixpoit trade continues extremely
slow in the Hour market, with prices
rather mixed and offers shaded gen
erally. -Kven this has resulted In prac
tically no increase in the volume of
orders from the orient.
With the Chicago wheat market
showing weakness and a price loss
early today because of the expecta
tions of a bearish government crop
report. local trade is quiet with no life
in the buying.

of 50c a case in the price of package

SALMON WILL STAND AT
Edited . by Hyman H. Cohen.
TO
OPEN AT SAME PRICE
ON COLUMBIA RIVER
Practically Certain : That Pound
Tails Will Again Sell at $1.03
or 'the Same Price' as During
Previous Two Seasons.
Since - the ' price of raw fish along
the Columbia has' been established, it
is now practically agreed that opening
prices for Columbia river canned sal
mon will show no changes from last
year, with tails at $1.95 and flats at
$2.10 for pounds. This will be the
third consecutive season that the pries
of Columbia river talis has opened at
the $1.95 mark, and the second season
that $2.10 has been named for pouni
flats.
Canning interests of the Columbia
have practicallv decided to bill out all
their early fish at last year's opening
figures, and while the trend of the
trade Is not so firm, it is generally
understood that this price will hold at
least until -July. Later prices will be
governed entirely by the size of the
pack.
Raw fish prices show little change
from a year ago, except perhaps In the
larger sizes, that will come under the
lower rate or canning stock. Owing
to the fact that no appropriation was
this season made by the. state for
maintenance of the hatcheries, and
this burden will be carried by tho
packers in the shape of a license fee
about double that of a year ago, pack
ers have decided :that they could not
afford to shade the value of the packed
fish.
Erratic Trade in
Stock Mart Shown
With Prices Mixed
(International News Service.)
New York, April 7. There was a
feellnsr of uncertainty in the stock
market at opening today. The course
of values was undecided. Coppers were
strong, some of the industrial issues
were weak, and the rails held steady.
Steel stocks were unsettled. Rock Is
land opened at 29 and jumped to
early in the trading. Bethlehem Steel
lost 2 points in the first hour, and
Union Pacific developed weakness.
Reading held steady. Southern Pacific
was strong, Erie was firm and Steel
common held around 60. "Atchison
was above par. Strength of the copper
metal has encouraged buying in the
copper shares, but there were signs of
realizing in other directions.
Rubber was strong in response to
favorable conditions. The stock gained
1 points, selling up to 67 before
noon. The decline in Bethlehem Steel
affected the entire list to a marked
degree. A large volume of stocks ac
cumulated during February came out,
and this factor caused more uncer
tainty. California Petroleum had a
sharp spurt. The coppers continued
strong. On the decline the buying in
Union Pacific was rather of a good
el sl rn.c X c Vm
Nearing the close the stock list
showed a reactionary tendency. The
market' was somewhat unsettled. A
lull was noticeable in the outside buy
ing. Some realizing was in evidence,
particularly in the copper shares. The
close was barely steady. Bethlehem
Steel closed with a loss of 44 points.
The last sale was made at 88V. The
failure of the dividend declaration was
the unsettling feature. Atchison was
strong at the close. Government bonds
were steady.
Atchison today declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 1 per cent on
the common stock, payable May 1.
At the annual stockholders' meeting
of the Studebaker company today, the
directors were reelected. No action
was taken on the declaration of a div
Ident on the common stoek.
Mr. Schwab told the stockholders of
Bethlehem Steel that large expendi
tures were ahead of the company,
some $20,000,000 for developing Chil
ean ore properties and construction
work at Bethlehem. He states that
the management Telt that these ex
penditures should Le borne out of th
earnings, especially as the company's
present bonded debt is a good deal in
excess of its eapital stock Issue.
Mr. Schwab said that so lar as had
neen reported to him, business was
Improving, although he did not look
for anything like a boom in steel
trade.

Increase in Number, Iast Month
Begins to" Reflect Improvement
Losses in the West.
During the first quarter of this year,
7216 business failures were reported to
R. G. Dun & Co., the liabilities of the
defaulting concerns - amounting to
$105,703,335. In number of defaults
this record is greater than in any pre
vious year, but it is significant of the
recent progressive improvement in
business that there were .758 fewer
suspensions in March, and less than
half the liabilities, than during Jan
uary. The three months record, there
fore, largely represents the commer
cial and industrial unsettlement pro
duced by the European war, from which
depression a period of recovery has
now set in- - Inasmuch as the effect of
the war was felt most severely in the
south, where cotton exports were tem
porarily suspended, but have ""sines
been resumed In large volume, and in
the middle Atlantic states, resulting
in a large reduction of industrial ac
tivity, the increase in number of in
solvencies was particularly heavy.
The totals forvthe quarter will prob
ably long remain a high record for the
period. The aggregate liabilities of
$105,703,335 has been only once ex
ceeded, namely, by the $121,500,000
involved in the second quarter of the
panic year 1893. In 1914 there were
4826 suspensions, owing $83,221,826.
The largest number of defaults were
In the trading class, being 5348, for
$48,712,319 liabilities, comparing with
3489 in 1914 with liabilities of $36,500,
570. Manufacturing failures numbered
1580 for $46,211,855, comparing with
1147 in 1914 with liabilities of $34,
644,880. . . ,
With each of the three Pacific
States reporting more reverses than
last year, the number of defaults in
this section was 615 against 50.5, while
the total indebtedness was $5,684,920,
as compared with $5,233,600 in 1914.
The largest alteration, numerically,
was 52 In Washington, and there were
increases of 35 and 23, respectively, in
California and Oregon, the latter alone
showing any contraction in the money
owed. In this respect, the most unfa
vorable exhibit was made by Califor
nia, with an expansion of about $00,
000. Number Liabilities.

While there were no cattle arrivals
in the North Po'rtland yards over night,
a somewhat better feeling Is shown in
the trade, and an improved demand is
in sight. The call for cattle is in it
self an improvement, because during
the last week or 10 days most of the
sales have been forced. While it is
not believed that extreme tops will
show any change at this time, general

DALY GARBAGE PLAN
AT ELECTION IN JUNE
Change From System Pre
viously Authorized Would
Enable Free Collection. -
LONG LIVED BONDS WIN
Brewster's Suggestion That Serial li
ra Bs. Provided Vot Accepted
by Commission.
After considerable argument the
council this morning decided that the
people at the city election should vote
on the question of ' a free municipal,
garbage collection system as proposed
by Will H, Daly, commissioner of pub
lic utilities.
Under the Daly plan the present
bond authorization of $76,000 for' a
garbage collection system will be
amended so the council may have the
power to' collect garbage free or fix a
charge. At present, the authorization
makes It mandatory for the city to
make a charge.
In bis argument to the council Com
missioner Daly said that- the present
system .could not be . worked satis
factorily, as there is no way tenants
ean be required to use the system and
pay a charge. He proposed to estab
lish the collection system on the $75,
000 authorized and maintain the sys
tem from taxation funds.
Commissioner Brewster contended
that the authorization -should be
changed that the bonds could be issued
serially instead of long life bonds, but
the plan was opposed by Commissioner
Daly, who stated that to change the
authorization materially would Jeop
ardize the plan. The council decided
to follow Daly's plan and adopted a
resolution submitting th measure to
the People.

GENERAL BUSINESS NEW
United States Forest Service Is Conducting Study
in the Preservative Treatment of Wood Staves
Used in the Construction of Farm Silos.
PORTLAND FIRM PLANS BAKER AGENCY
Methods Are Described.
The district forester at - Portland,
Oregon, announces that the forest
service is conducting, at Its laboratory
at Madison, Wisconsin, In cooperation
with the University of Wisconsin, a
study in the preservative treatment of
wood staves used In the construction
of farm silos.. The amount of lumber,
all high grade, used in the construe
tlonuof silos in 1913, has been esti
mated at about 100,000.000 feet B. M.
A good silo may be mads of any one
of a number of materials', but nomat
ter what class of material Is used,! the
success of the silo depends Very large
ly upon proper care. Some manufac
turers are already treating all of their
silo material, and it Is now possible
to purchase silos treated and ready to
set up. Of "the various wood preserva
tives in general use, a good grade of
coal-tar creosote has proven very sat
isfactory. Kxperiments have shown
that it has little or no effect upon: the
silage. -Four methods of treatment! are
in ordinary use; namely, pressure, open
tank, dipping, and brush treatment; In
the pressure treatment, the wood is
placed in a steel, cylinder and the! oil
forced Into It at high pressure. I Al
though this is the best method. It is
the most expensive, as special ap
paratus is required. In the open tank
method, the wood is first heated to
and held at a temperature of 180 de
grees to 220 degrees F. for an hour or
two, and then I immersed in a cold oil
bath until sufficient oil Is absorbed.
In the dipping treatment the wood Is
usually immersed In hot oil for from
five minutes to 15 minutes. The sim
plest and cheapest i treatment is the
brush treatment, but it Is the least ef
fective. The oil Is heated to 180 de
grees to 220 degrees and applied
with a brush or flooded over the wood.
The farmer who wishes to treat his
own wood for his silo, may use any
one of the other three methods.
Opening Mano Agency. '
' The Koehler & Chase Piano Co., whose
distributive headquarters for the ! Pa
cific northwest are located at Portland,
is opening up a- new branch agency
