A local manipulator of egg prices Is said to be nard at work trying to foree extreme val nes for the product here so ss to make stor age of local stock impossible, which would thereby crests an extraordinary call for hot weather eggs from tbe east. In which he is said to be usually heavily Interested. While the market for eggs Is holding firm here and buyers are freely offering 21j21V&e a dozen for supplies from ths country, bsaed on Portland delivery, tLa Interests wno are not buying are giving out quotations to some newspapers that are above those actually being paid or offered nere. This is done for the sole purpose of stopping storage opera tions here which, would later causa a big call for tbe hot weather eggs from tbe east and middle west. Receipts of eggs, are rather liberal at this time bat the demand both at bom and from outaide points Is good and values arc generally maintained at tbe average of Monday.

Continued bearish foreign news, nnnsually free country offerings snd unchanged crop conditions were the contributing factors that worked against wheat prices la the pit opening today. All three elassea started out fractionally under yesterdsy's close and at the end of tbe first boor's trading, tbe two distant months were on a par with the opening, while May showed a fractional gain. 'Wheat eentl rr.ent was mixed and while some professionals expressed their views by heavy selling, others were on tbe buying side during the recessions. A large number of traders favored tbe opin ion that liquidation has been spent for the present that with a large abort Interest, which no doubt has beta created, aa upturn would be In order. Con tinned advance of corn prices la Liver pool appears to substantiate the reports of aevere damage to the Argentine crop. Prices here opened about e np and held ire ner ally firm during the first hour- The May option was strongest and most active. Oats were beared as the majority of traders favored that side ef the market. Country holders manifested a more liberal sentiment and offerings are becoming larger each Jay. by Over- of Trade Small Lots Hops --Move With Nominal Trade in Northwest Business Almost Too limited to .
