THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY, MAY 14, 1917. 13 CHICAGO BOARD ELIMINATES ALL NEW BUSINESS IN GRAINS SPRING CHICKEN NOW SHOWING LITTLE CALL IN A WHOLESALE WAY Demand Extremely Limited and the Price Drops Down to 18c a round and Is Weak at That- Small Stock Is Harder to Sell. FUTURE DELIVERY. OF CANNED GOODS TO BE SHORT THIS SEASON Retailers Likely to Be Cut Down to 23 Per Cent of Their Orders Government Orders to Secure Preference of the Canners. The frtreme vfeaknes Khown in the market for spring cblokens is tbe most etre ever known to the locsl trada during any period. Practically all of th stork that has been re ceived along tbe atreet tills season has been of very small sise, and It did not take tbe trade long to be filled to moro than current require ment. Kale of uprlng were made all the way from 82 to 18c a pound during the lat week, one receiver cleaning up at tlie lower figure on Sat urday on stock that coat Ulm 3Ce a pound. Whlltt the general market for chicken la weak and sluggish, the principal los 1 shown In the young atuff. Even at the lower prices named the trade la obowlng practically no In clination to take hold, and the oue dealer sell Ing at 18c a pound conaldera himself extremely lucky to clean up at all. Hens are quoted gen eraily at l'djtlhe, with the bulk of the buai- neas at tbe lower price. ASPARAGUS IS OFF AGAIN Very heavy shipment of apporngua are com ing forward from ail sections of the const, even carload l"ts being offerM from Walla Walla. Market la down, with bisr buuebes selling at 75aWc per iixeu. STRAWBERRY PRICES LOWER Iwr prices are again being named frr strawberries by the local trade, with better supplies from the south. Itest D illars are of- ! ferlng at f2 per crate of ao pint. Few Jes sies are coming at the moment. ALLIED GOVERNMENTS SAID TO HAVE CORNER ON WHEAT SUPPLIES This Is Said to Be Reason for the Chicago Board ' in Eliminating All New Trading for Two Days Local Market Quiet. Many retailers who have believed themselves secure In their future requirements of canned rruu and vegetables, are very likely to wake up with a shock when delivery time comes along. They are very likely to find for the first time In the history of the local trade that they will not seenre the goods they contracted for. They will find that prices will be so much higher than they expected that present values will look real low to them. In fact, they are today selling supplies at much less amount than the same stock could at this time be sold for in carload lots. (Jovernment orders with canners of frotts and vegetables are heavy all over the country. Tlie.se orders will be filled first. They will be filled in their entirety, and what Is left tbe canners will deliver pro rata to the whole sale Jobbers If there Is any at all available. It begins to look at UiU time as if retailers will be extremely lucky if they secure mure than 25 per cent of their combined orders of canned goods, snd it Is doubtful if wholesalers will in the aggregate secure that amount of what they ordered. The situation 1 a most strenuous one, and it begins to look aa if retatlera will be con pelled to limit the size of their sales until such a time as they can see what they are going to do about future stocks.

The Portland Kerch ants' Exchange associa tion rated to continue the market quotations on 4h TiiiiftflA Hjkl ijtvjft m that th .fMil.i ! condition of the eastern markets has been passed.

C. Wilkes, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Seattle. i-ortiand & Spokane railroad. He savs: "While at Maupln the latter part of this week I carefully looked into the situation with irgard to coming grain crop and found the stand is very good, about several hundred per cent better than was earlier estimated. The grain la coming up very well and look for a good crop m that district Present weather conditions are favorable to the growing grain. "Our reports from the east indicate wheat seeding in North Dakota is practically com pleted and other seeding is progressing rap Idly. Conditions have been exceptionally good. The situation in Montana is evidently very backward on account of weather condi tions. Very little farm work was done Up to a week ago but since that time the weather has been fsvorable and rapid progress was made. A large amount of wheat was winter killed but it is difficult to make proper esti mate owing to the fact that the weather was not quite warm enough to start tbe plants growing and probably there was not so much wheat winter-killed as thought." W. J. Jordan, general agent. Northern Pa cific Railway company, Lewistan, Idaho, re ported : a "Weather the past week has been fine and farmers are busily engaged in farm work. "Fall grain lu the Camas prairie district is looking exceptionally good. No resecting will be necessary other than a small percentage of fall sown barley, and this only applies to s small aret around Nes Perce. "In the territory tributary to Almota, Wi- wawal and I'enwawa fully 50 per cent of the fail sown grain will have to be receded. In the Paiouse territory farmers are awaiting on the weather to see if the grain that they find sprouted in the ground will come through or not. A few days of warm weather will demonstrate whether reseedlng will be neces sary. "It will bo Impossible to give any accur ate figures as to tbe percentage to be re- secded in that district. The allied governments of Europe are said to have a "corner" on July .delivery wheat In the Chicago market, and during tbe dav action was taken to eliminate both July and September wheat, oats and corn from the trading for two days. During that period no new business will be accepted, but previous short sellers can cover and longs Can sell their stock In tbe meantime. There is a report that a committee will be appointed by the CAilcago board to make an ar bitrary price on wheat because of the alleged "corner." because there Is not enough stock available In all bands to fill contracts. Local spot wheat market was very flim, but inclined to show a quiet tone during the dsy. Flour market remains strong, but no further change In price Is announced by millers, and uillstuffs are also unchanged. Brooniliall cabled from Liverpool: Liverpool wheat dull and easy. Corn firm.

K. 8. ) Heavy losses were shown In all the grain markets en the board today. It was a case of the allies be ing forced out of their position and selling freely in order to secure profits that were enormous. It is estimated by some interests that they were long as ranch aa $0,000,000 bushels of wheat at one time and that the continued heavy selline; of three weeks againat the enormous baying has not cleaned un their lines. They are believed to be holders ef good sized lines of both the July and Septem ber options but this will be disposed of aa rapidly aa possible. There was a big break in corn and oats. Hog products were again higher under cov ering by shorts. f Chicago. May 14.
