TRADE IS UNABLE TO CHECK DECLINING PRICE OF HOGS
Edited by
Hymen H. Cobra
CPATNG
TRADE ANT
A STRONG MARKET
THE DAIRY PRODUCTS
Owing (o Fart That -Allied Nations
Must Now Feed Central Powers a
Greater Supply Will Be Needed
Cheese Sulunflon Is Firm.
That any immediats lowering of price for
dairy nrodnrts I out o( the auction is the opin
ion now expressed by leaders of the trad here
Ther ha been an unusually heary slaughter of
dairy cerwi all over th world alnca tba European
war started, and for that reaeon tba output of
dairy product will eontinua below tbs normal for
some tunc.
I'limui msrket Interest at the leading eastern
fyntrn appear twore confident of a strong market
for tlia coming oki than they were prerlous
to the signing of the armistice. They aay that
with the allied nation! now called upon to feed
the people of the central power aa well as them
elTea. that it will take greater supplies than ever
before to take care of tho wants.
Thia aeerrnnt tn a meaeure for the rapid ad
vance In the price of cheene at Wisconsin produc
ing center at the atart of the week. treTailing
price on the coait eontinua below those of other
sections of the country, so far as cheese Is concerned.
Turkey Market Is
Not So Active;
Receipts Heavier
Than Anticipated
Turkey market situation continues to reflect
considerable strength although trade is not quite
aa actire as it was a few days sro. This is a
condition usually shown Just prerlous to the for
mal opening of the Tbanksglring trade and really
has no bearing wbaterer upon the future of the
4 market.
f'reraUing sale of No. 1 dressed turkeys con
tinue around 40c a pound generally although
soase wared dealers have raid down to 33c for
tlii clae of stock.
Keceipta at this time are far greater than nor
mal previous to the holidays, indicating two things,
that "the supply in rather liberal and that the
country la determined to save all the feed possible
by shipping Its stock to market early.
While moat of the birds that hare come for
ward could scarcely get into the No. 1 class, still
the percentage of toppy quality has been greater
than generally expected.
COUNTRY
OVERFLLS
BVTTF.R NITIATIOV IS HTROJffi
Hltuatinn In the butter trade continues to re
flect a strong, healthy tone generally throughout
the country, and prices here are well maintained
at previous figures.
T.GQ MARKET IS 7OT AFFECTED
At yet the local egg market is not affected by
the extreme Weakness and slump in California
price. This Is due to the fart that California
quotations hare for some time been far too bigli.
BANANAS ADVAX'K HALF CENT
Advance of Vi c a pound will he shown in the
price of bananas on the local market at the start
of the coming week. This will put the local price
at 8 Ho a pound for unc rated stock, and the
country price for crated at 0 Vs c
DRESSED 1IOOS HEM AT BOTTOM
Country killed hogs are still selling at 19 3 20c
a pound for best offering along the street with a
small per eent of the business at the higher price.
Veals continue steady. at former prices.
LOCAL CRANBERRY SALES GOOD
While eastern cranberries are dragging here,
the demand for home grown stock is rather active
because of superior quality, and the fact that
they need 40 per cent less suar than the im
ported stock. They are lower priced, too.
BRIEF OTF.8 OF PRODUCE TRADE
I-rmon market weaker, at $7. 75 8 00 per
caae.
Nut trade is increasing despite the extreme
price.
Chicken market fairly active at former prices.
Apple situation continues active along the
street.
Further advance expected in coffee prices.

Cotton Goes Limit
In Day's Advance
New York, Nor. 1 ft. (I. N. 8.) There wa
a heavy accumulation in nuyina orders for the
South and Liverpool accounts overnight and as
a result the opening f,f the cotton market was
strong with Iecember up lift points and January,
March and Muy traded in at the limit of advance,
tOO point.
Trading was highly excited. The first sale of
December was made at 2 7.10. n advance of 20
points, and that position immediately rose to
27.7ft. January started at 27.50 and rose to
28. Oft, the limit, and transaction Were made in
March and May it 27.80 and 27.72, respective
ly When the limit waa reached in January ex
rfitement was high and it was necessary to inter
rupt the call in order to remind the members
that 28.05 was the highest the market could go,
and it was noted that there were few offering
even at the limit. As a matter of fact not a bid
at offer was made for any month after May.
Some spot houses were moderate sellers. Liv
erpool opened at its minimum decline of 50
points, but subsequently rallied sharply and at
the time of the local opening January was off
only 6 points with the other positions unchanged.
The action of the English market was consid
ered a most bullish factor here.

Market for hogs at North Portland is unable
to absorb the huge offerings that are coming for
ward, and the result Is that lower prices have
been forced even against the wishes of the buyers
'themselves. Everyone who has hoga in the
country at this time is seemingly anxious to aell
them at the same moment. Killers here have
been forced to purchase much more stock than
they can take care of, and the result is that
lower prices have been forved all aronnd. It
takes exceptional quality to bring (17 at this
time.
"If the country will simply hold Its hogs back
from the market nntil they are needed," says
T. C. Benson of the Benson Commission company,
and a pioneer operator of the Portland market.
"they will not only save the market from being
wrecked, but they will save the price. Buyers
really do not want to cut the price at this time.
but if the country persists in overlosding the
trade, lower values only are possible. Killer now
have on hand a half week's killing supply, and if
they are forced to take on additional stocks, it
means that they will be compelled to feed them
at high expense. This natural calls for lower
prices.
There has been more or less talk from Wash
ington about a minimum price for hogs in stils
country, but so far as the local trade is con
cerned the minimum appears to have been lost.
General hog range:
Prime mixed (17.00 17.25

Cattle Trade Is Weaker
Market for cattle weaker and lower for the ,
bulk of the offerings. While ft is true that at
the start of the week sales were made at the
figures quoted, the bulk of the supplies did not
reach the range printed. In general sales are
about 25c lower than at the start of the week,
although cattle could still be good enough to
bring extreme values if only a limited supply
was available. For more than a small supply the
market is down.

That the government will purchase the sur
plus substitutes which the trade naa been com
pelled to buy with wheat flour has already been
aunotusced. but information is now given by the
Food Administration Grain corporation, that the
-government does not Intend to absorb All the
losses on such supplies.
In this regard the office nf Max II. Houser,
zonal agent of the cereal division, announces
"The Brain ootdo ration is making arrange
ments to buy stocks of Victory Mixed flour and
substitutes owned by dealer or bakers, and also
stocks held by millers made up to and including

however, be fairly low, but purchases will be
made with the idea of minimizing losses on these
stocks, bat at the same time it is impossible to
pay domestic prices, and also impossible to buy
w less than carload shipments.
"The details of this latter program are now be
int worked out, and will also be forwarded in
the Tery near future. In the meantime will you
please mail statement by return mail to the

A quicker opening of outside business In the
onion market is now anticipated by the trade than
had been previously believed passible.
Onion price all along the coast are showing
decided strength at this time snd as the "Junk
quality stock of California entirely disappears
from the market, the better class goods will au
tomatically show better value.
Already this improvement in demand is indi

hsp the exception of Portland willing to accept
at any price the poor quality, trade demoralizing
onions Uiat have been offered by the aoutn.
With Oregon onions never showing better qua!

these asking only limited price advance over
what the trade has been paying for the "Junk:
the call for local goods is beginning to make it-
sell felt.

ing, with the offerings tightly held, caused sharp
advances all around. November waa up 4c. De
cember gained 83tte, and January 3034 c.

there was improved buying late, and closings were
at advance of (LOO for pork, 4c for November

January ribs, while Norember ribs were lower.

leged.
Guyer, it is stated in the complaint.
was a real estate agent with a moderate
Income and had no adequate or sufficient
means of making so large a purchase.

alleged further. He ia made a party to
the suit.
The Plerrards ask the court to ap
