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.
POB.TLAXD TO CONTINUE.
The Portland Kerch ants' Exchange associa
tion rated to continue the market quotations on

storage Interests to depress the price here in

That there is a good stand of wheat In
central Oregon is the report brought back ' to
this city by W. 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.
Oats easier. Flour firm, with moderate offers
and light arrivals.
Continental absorption Is liberal.
United Kingdom weather continues cold and
wet. Holders of all grain very firm.
France weather is more favorsble.

Sharp Declines in
Chicago Wheat on
Forced Liquidation
By Joseph F. Prttchard.
Chicago, May 14. (1. 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. P.l Shorts, seeking
to make their kisses In July snd September
wheat ss light as possible In liquidating their
contracts under the ruling of the Board of
Trade, fixing the maximum of those deliveries
There was a rather liberal and somewhat
unexpected increase In offering of swine In
the North Portland yards at the week's open
ing; receipts over Sunday totaling 2335 bead
compared with 1809 for the same period last
week.
While there Wis a stronger tone and higher
prices forced for bogs in tbe big eastern cen
ters, tbe local msrket started weak and sharp
ly lower; in fact the prices offered by pack
ers were so fsr below those recently In effect
that no early sales were shown.
