Bastion, tags, ato., pramptly anppliad. California la purchasing small supplies of wheat in this territory While the volume of sales la still limited, the fact" that tbe south la buying at all la taken aa a good Indication by tbe trade ln general. The car shortage along the lines of the Southern Pacific la causing much concern to milling interests generally, because they ar unable to fill their orders for millstuffs. Some of the millers claim to have had orders for several weeks before being able to secure trsnsportatlon. Coarse J rains are quiet ln tbe interior with little business reported there in any of the cereals. Grain bags continue to strengthen ln tone and price, but as there 1' practically nothing offering here with guaranteed delivery, tbe market Is considered nominal. Broomball cabled from Liverpool that the wheat market waa abowlng a firmer under tone. There was nervousness over subma rlnea and a probable embargo ln America. Floating quantity la Increasing. Argentine weather favorable. Port stocks are increasing and the interior movement ia larger.

Marcb deliv ery bids were In to 3c a bushel higher than Thursday. Tbe feature of the day's trade waa the sale of 5000 bushels of April bluestem st $1.06. Recent buying of that delivery at tbe higher prices indicated short covering. Marcb oat a bida were unchanged, but barley advanced 50c back to $29 again for feed. A aale of 100 tons April oats were made at $26 a ton or $1 higher than Thursday's bid fur similar delivery. Merchants Exebange March quotations! WHEAT Thurs. Outside Demand Is Less Heavy; Onion Stocks Are Small Sales Are Xot So Liberal, bat Total Holdings Are Keeping Trade Ideas Good. While outside sales of onions are reported less liberal by ahlppers, the msrket continues to show strength generally and prices are being maintained well at $2 per cental f. o. b. country points. The poor quality of tbe California atock which Is being offered in the south at ex treme low prices ia affecting to some extent the demsnd for the better Oregon stock, sl tlcugh recently the better clsss trade in tbe south baa ahown more disposition to take bold of the northern product. ' Total boldinga of pnlons ln this state are so small that the trade does not anticipate for a single moment that any difficulty will be experienced in cleaning up all offerings at ful values before new crop is available from other sections. Becaure of the. excellent quality of the Oregon product and the fact that prices are held within reason, it is Impossible far new crop Australian onions to secure a foothold on the coasT this aea.son. Opening Strength a Surprise for Wheat Cticsgo, March 3 (I. N. S.) Wheat openel stronger today. This change came as a mrr prise to many of the big traders, who had expected a continuation of the weak market. Liquidation apparently has run its coarse on the present bearish conditions. While the short side today argued tnat large reserves and the shipping situation la again a higher move ln prices, the bulls took the stand that recent depressive news hen been overworked, and that tbe market la lower than the conditions within. Liverpool opened stronger today on factors that In this country are considered bearish, namely, the obstruction of shipping until the submarine issue la settled. A good portion of the optimistic side of tbe market continued to favor sales on the rallies. Both corn snd oata opened fractionally np from yesterday's close. Trading in these two eralns during tha first hour waa of a normal volume and a firmness characterised the mar ket. Later, however, fluctuations were more pronounced. Technical factors ln these two grains are ssld to have been exercised to the maximum, and It la thought that tbe market ia now awaiting newa or a controlling nature. The bog market waa firm. May wheat opened at 112. and was steady at first. July opened at 109, and waa lees regular. Range of Chicago pricea furnished by Over berk & Cooke Co., 210-217 Board of Trade building: Friday. Bid.

Beading again was aceumu ltted in large quantities by tbe same Inter, eats' which were behind the recent movement. The possibility of this government adopting a fixed policy toward the German sub marine campaign and thus obviating condi tion of uncertainty, waa considered one of the snstslnlng factors today.

The Port of As toria sold to Morris Brothers $75,000 of bonds issued to pay for general port development purpases. The expendi tures will include, it la understood, coal bunkers and grain elevators. As the Port of Astoria limits are one with the county boundaries, the obligation lies against the. entire property of Clatsop county. Tbe bonds bear 6 per cent interest. One-fifth of the Issue will be retired after 15 years and one fifth additional each succeeding fifth year. The sale price was 103.11, which returns to the buyer 4.77 per cent. To finance the erection of an addi tion to the high school and to.' one grammar school, the school district of Walla Walla sold to the state of Wash ington, at par and Interest, $200,000 bonds, optional after one year, 4 per cent interest, payable annually. The state bought them for the irreducible school fund. The Lumberaena Trust company submitted a bid of a premium of (4,067.77 on the basis of the bonds bearing 4 per cent Interest, dae in 20 years, but optional1 after 10 years. Interest payable semi-annually. The school trustees had difficulty ln decid ing between the bids of the state and the trust company, because they were so clOBe. Between a , per cent bond payable annually and a 4 per cent payable semi-annually, there Is a nom inal difference in favor of the seller of 13.85 a thousand, but in order to earn the difference the school district must keep its Interest money busy all of the time. The trust company of fered to demonstrate to the school districts that lta bid waa the highest but the difference waa so small that nothing came of the offer and the state took the bonds. There were 13 bids in all submitted. There were 85 bids made for an Is sue of $85,000 of bonus offered by the school district of Idaho Falls. Morris Brothers and the Lumbermen Trust company were the second and ntiird highest bidders, the sa's being made to a Salt Lake hnus at a premium of $2978, a basis of 103.60. The bonds are for 20 years, with optional payment after 10 years and-bear 5 per cent interest next fall's trade. "The rise In woo the premium on spinning machinery the extra cost of dyeing, Increases wages, have brought wool goods ii general to nearly twice the accus tomed price.
