The two advances of 20c per barrel each
nomed Monday to take effect In the flour
market during the next day. have left the
trade here In very firm poeition.
Heavy eales of iiuur are reported made by
Pacific northwest miller to British interests,
although millers here ar unwilling to cou
llrm tbe announcement. It Is staled that at
least two steamer load of flour have been
aold to Great Britain during the laat 60
hours, and that additional business would be
available if the mills could take care of tbe
business and transportation available.
Wheat market continues to soar .at country
points. Very liberal buslnesa waa done la
the interior of the Pacific nortfiwest during
the last 24 hours at $1.25 per bushel basis
tidewater delivery fur bluestem.
Record sales to the eaatern territory are re
ported, one Chicago firm alone being credited
with the purchase of le to 1 1,000, boo bushels
recently. It ia the extensive bidding of the
eastern bujera that Is setting tbe pace In the
Interior.
Wheat prlcea were firmer and generally
higher abroad f'T the day, Buenos Aires alone
being lower. Tbe reduction -ere waa due to
tbe fact that tbe advance of tbe previous day
waa considered too severe.

Instead of ahowlng the strength Indicated at
one time on Monday, tbe market for cattle la
really weaker and lower at North Portland.
Tbe sale of a few bead of steer at a frac
tional advance really mean nothing to the
general market, because the bulk of the actual
bnalness In the steer market was around $6.00
e6.50 for top quality. It took exceptional
quality In tbe steer division to bring $6.60, and
thla was only for a special order. Tbe cow
market In general, despite tbe flrat reported
advance, la really 25c lower than a week ago.
with tops generally ruling at $3. 0015.25. al
tt.ongh a handful of atuff was sold at frac
tion more.
The market for feed cattle la rather firm,
with one lot of extra good tnff of the Short
horn order oat of the Klamath Falls country
at $6.00. '

FRESH EGGS REACH
A RECORD HERE FOR
E OF YEAR
Sales of Ranch Stock Made Up to
45c Dozen, With Case Count a
High as 42c Storage Stock
Lifted to 3oc; Fresh Scarce.
Price of eggs has advanced to the highest
quotations ever known in tb Portland market
at thla period of tbe season. In fact, the
piesent price at 43c a doxen for freah candled
offerings le within mere fraction of th
extreme record obtained In other year.
Receipts of eggs along the atreet are very
small snd tbe outlet 1 exceedingly good.
Sales of case., count egga, while generally re
ported around 40c a. dozen by the country,
are being made by jobber at 42c a dozen. At
thla prce there 1 a far better demand than
offerings.
Sales of Ice bona stock ar naturally In
creasing under such conditions. Most of the
dealers are quoting April from S24 to 83c
doxen, the balk of the Bales being made at
the higher figures.
So far as known, no fresh eastern eggs are
being offered here, although some supplies
have been marketed on Paget sound. Whether
tb se are really fresh egg or (election of
storage stock Is not known, but this trick
has been reported turned on various occasions.
BUTTER DOWN TOMORROW
Dne to accumulations on the
local market, and to the weak
ness of the California situation,
local creameries have decided
to lower the price of butter
lVxCper pound, to take effect
Wednesday morning.

In the middle west. The coarse grains
havo also advanced sharply, barley on
orders from the east and Europe, and
oats because of their cheapness in re
lation to other cereals. Exporters are
looking forward to a renewed foreign
trade in oats. Flour prices have ad
vanced to $7.40, the highest price since
pioneer days, but local buying has not
been checked. The eastetn and Euro
pean demand is strong, though millers
cannot take full advantage of it, ow
ing to the scarcity of cars. This
shortage is also hindering- the full
eastbound movement of potatoes and
onions, both of which are 'selling at
prices highly remunerative to farm

On the other hand, there has been
steady Increase in the cost of many
food stuffs. For instance, flour !.''

advanced sharply, prices having goo a
up 40 centg per barrel during tne past,,
fortnight Suck an Important staple aa ,
potatoes are at a record price level '
for this time of year. There is an al
most unprecedented demand for pota- '
toes and the Important 'phase of thla M
demand Is that it cornea from the east. ; A
Potatoes are elng shipped out Of tha
state on a scale never before known.
CMaaed Balmoa Active. Tne canned! :
salmon output turns out to be larger
than had been expected, the excep- ..
tlonaJly active demand and favorabja
prices having done much to etimulate a "
large pack. The salmon's pack In North. :.
Pacific Tanneries is estimated, by. thosa ' ;
in a position to know, at approximately, s .f
7.600,000 rases. This -compares with A
about 8,000.000 cases last year and tha
year before, but is fully (00,000 casea s
more than had been expected and that
much more than had been prepared for' " .

future of the salmon market la that
practically the entire pack haa already
been sold, whereas a year ago there
whs at least one-third of the pack tin- .
sold.

On the other hantL however, coat of ;
