Further Advances in Wheat and
Prospect for- Greater Strength
When Car Shortage Is Relieved
Are Favorable for Rise.
The Oowlita river is overflowed with fish
and fishermen equipped with scoop shovela are
loading them into wagon to send them to
market.
The rnn of smelt ia tbe Cow lit during the
last 24 hours 1 about a enormous as unex
pected. The flab "jut one over' on the fish
ermen beoanse there were none that expected
the amelt to enter die Cowliu for soma time to
come.
Tbe submarine finny tribe captured tbe
Cow lit river without a struggles The capture
canaed no regrets among the resident along
tbe river; in fact, the Invasion waa welcomed.
The record breaking run of flan will be a big
aid in solving the high coat of living in thia
section, at least for the immediate future, in
fact, supplies are so heavy mat much of the
catch will be sent east, where there to a
prosperity Intoxicated horde rather hungry for
fish that to awaiting each shipment.
There have been other huge rnn at smelt
in the Cowllts, bat thia break all records.
Tbe fish are said to have entered the river
In such large schools that they overflowed the
banks of the stream and "buckled" op In the
center. It was a living Bias of fish, with a
sprinkling of water here and there.
Last year the smelt forgot tbe Oowlita alto
gether, a condition that exists perhaps once la
15 years, instead of going into that stream
they entered the K a lama river ia great urn-
hers, while lb Kalama nas scarcely seen a
smelt for many years.
The huge supply broke tbe wholesale price
to splinters here during tbe day, salea of fresh
ly received stock being made aa low a 3c a
pound. "It'a the most wonderful ran. of
smelt I have ever "seen." eaya C. J. B. lit
larkey, a local wholesaler.

PORTLAND DAIRY EXCHANGE
An advance In tbe price of floor within tit
immediate future is not considered unlikely,
because ef tba recent advances in the trlce of
wheat and the prospects for greater strength
the moment that tbe car shortage is relieved
and atock can be moved to the Atlaatie sea
board centers.
At the moment there is considerable strength
la tbe local flour trade, and prices are being
well maintained by mi 11 era.
Wheat market ituation showed considerable
strength during the early day's trading at Chi
cago, and prices were generally advanced.
Locally the wheat altuatlon 1 also inclined
to abow renewed strength, with considerable
Inquiry reported from outside sections. Some
export business baa been reported here during
the last 48 hours, but exporter are not mak
ing much noise regarding it; in Tact are un
willing to either confirm or deny the report.
MillatufTs market. Instead of showing the
weakness indicated some days ago by alleged
sales at lower price, la really steady. There 1
a fair local demand, and demand for bran
from California is quite good. There waa talk
of bran selling at $23 a ton, and shorts at
$27, but local millers say they are quite willing
t purchase every pound of aborts they can
secure at that price.
Broomhau cabled from Liverpool that rae
wheat market was steady, with arrivals mod
erate and export offers firmly held. Oat
easier, with arrivals increasing, and recent
purchase liberal. Shipping facllltiea show an
Improvement, therefore arrivals expected to
be larger. Flour firm, with ..supplies reduced.
Provisions Irregular, argent demand, bacon, and
lard arrival light.
Argentina weather continues generally clear,
warm.

Beaumption of, lnvcatmen. oparatlona
by tba federal raaerv banka. rssult
tnc In subatantlaUy Increased hold
ins of acceptance, and moderate ad
dltioos to discounts and warrants on
hand Is indicated by tbe federal re
serve board's weekly statement Issued
today as at close of business oa Feb
ruary . Net llQuidatlona, by 25
per cent, of the federal reserve banks'
earning assets during the early part
of the year was coincident with low
market rates on commercial and bank
paper. During; the past week, with
larger offerings of paper at rising
rates, the federal reserve banks were
able freely to extend their facilities
to the banking: community and still
maintain their combine! cash reserve
at about 76 per cent.
Gold Bassrrea Bacrsase. Gold re
serves of the banks show a decrease
of $32,900,000. more than fully ac
counted tor by net withdrawals of
Sold from New York, Chicago and
fct- Xxula banks. Combined cash re
serves show a reduction of $34,400
000. A considerable part of the cold
withdrawn from the banks' reserves
has been transferred to the federal j
reserve agents against federal reserve
notes. Aa the banks now hold 1712,000
less of federal reserve notes than the
week before, It la manifest that the
amount of federal reaerve notes thus
received from the agents during the
past week was all paid out In the
purchase of paper and securities. Dis
counts on hand show a gain of nearly
$1,600,000. The total shown Includes
$3,465,000 of member banks' collateral
notes, aa against $1,951,000 reported
the week before. Heavy purchases of
acceptances by nearly all the banks
have Increased the holdings of this
class of paper by about $19,000,000.
Transactions in United States bonds
are reported by nine banks, resulting
in a decrease of the total on hand
by $1,080,000. There has been no
change In the amount of one-year
treasury notea held. Municipal war
rants on hand ahow an Increase of
about $2,200,000.
Hat Car bortagv Net shortage ot
freight cars on February 1 waa 109,770
compared with 62,247 cars on Janu
ary 1.
War Contract Battled. The Bethle
hem Steel company' controversy with
the British government over a $50,
000,000 shell contract for Russia, haa
been settled and the company aelli
$50,009,000 on its note to fulfill coo-
tracts.
Fladnc TaU Order. John V. Far
well company of Chicago say In their
weekly review of trada: Merchants
are now placing their fall ord era very
freely for wool dress goods and other
lines. Question of price is not as
much a factor as delivery. The pub- . -Hetty
given to government requisitions
for merchandise made of wool or part
wool is one of ths reasons for this .
situation. The embargo on batter
grades of Australian , wool and high
rate of marina Insurance and trans
portation is responsible for price on
this class ot wooL Army contracts ,
would soon take up any part of Ameri
can wool not now beinr made up into
good. Crate for sports effects in,
skirting fabrics continue, both in
woven and printed line. Sport suits
being shown by manufacturers are
more striking than ever in pattern. 7
Silk business 1 very active. Printed
effects of all kind sailing wall, es
pecially In silk and cotton good. The :
printed effects on Jaoquard grounds
, are receiving mors favorable atten
tion than those printed on ; plain -:
