The fact that Tillamook sells about -40 per eent of tt annual -output in the Los Angeles market shows the reason why the trade there I favored to the exclusion of northern mar kets. Tor a- time Portland received Tillkmook eheese at about 144 e a pound less thai other places were paying, the -purchases being delivered here at Ute same price as Tillamook was charg ing; other markets f. o. b. the cheese city. Even thia concession was not sufficient for the local 1 trade, knd it made efforts to secure still lower price. Then Tillamook removed the dlscrimlnstlon againat other markets and made the price for all f. o. b that city.

Salmon Catches in River Are Smaller With Higher Water Hauls In the Willamette and; Colum bia Below Expectations Quality Very Good. Catches of salmon in both the Columbia and Willamette riven are father small at this time, due to the mine water.- Canning opera tioru on the lower Columbia ark limited and there Is no hope of an increased output until the river again starts to drop. Unusually fine quality is shown In the present catches, th bsn not only being hard and sound, but generally of rather large size. Demand is go keen that values are held at the opening mark. While it is not believed that the price set for llHhermen by the food administration caused any to keep their gear out of the river, still the complaints of fishermoa are loud and the matter will likely be settled at an early date. Catches of halibut are increasing along the wvai, Willi UCDW1W kuuu iu iJru;f)a iiuiuuig substantially the same aa during the previous week. . Canned salmon market has not yet opened for the season here and formal prices will not likely be named for some time. Break in Corn And Oats Early In Chicago Trade By Joseph Prftehard Chicago, May 10. (L N. 8.) With an ad vance of He in the May corn future there was little in the market to encourage holders.

Standards at 24 c over early, off to 2&c late. Corn was unchanged to 10c higher, the lower grades holding up well. Hog products were 12 H 70c lower, pork being the weakest product of the list. Chicago, May 10. (I. N. !SV The grain market was steady at the opening today, but general selling ia oats caused a break which I influenced corn also. The break in oats took place on heavy selling of Msy. Scattered com mission house buying strengthened corn at the start, but later the local element took the sell ing side when the weakness in oats developed. July opened at 147 H to 147 H and May at 127 H. Trading in provisions was rather light and the market somewhat firmer at the start, but the weakness in grain led to selling and pro duced a reaction. Hog prices are the highest of the year. Chicago range of prices by United Press: CORN. Open. High: I-ow.

Efforts of the grain trade to secure conces sions which would allow trading in thia cereal met with absolute ''refusal, as had been ex pected. With act prices named, as well as other conditions under which the crop will be moved, it would be an impossibility to resume trading on tbe open markets.
