STAGNATION
Country Meats
Held too Long
Country Falls to Ship When Mar
ket at Best.
Br HrataB H. Cohsa
The freak- in the prieeof country-
killed hogs alone tbe, wholesale way is
tone of those incidents that would not
"have materialized If the country shipper
had sent his supplies, to the market
When they were needed most and prices
were of the best.
Seemingiy the average country ship
per feels that "someone is trying; to put
something over on him." whenever they
Civs him any advice as to the proper
time to ship supplies to market.
If the wholesaler tells him to ship
hog's at once because the demand is
keen, many will hold their supplies back
because they feel that perhaps later on
a still better demand will be shown and
values accordingly raised. Sometimes
the country shipper wins out by such
methods but generally speaking, and in
the present Instance, he Is out consider
able money because of this holding.
There are a number of very good
commission -firms and f. o. b. buyers
along Front street and as a rule their
advice as to the proper time to ship
should be taken seriously by the man
who has stock to market.

inspectaa wheat, Jan.
With ss high as $49.60 0 60.00 a ton being
offered for spot delivery millstuffs between whole
sale Brokers, the market here ha reached a new
high record and practically no stock available
at the extreme mark.
There Is move or lee talk of sales of mill
stuffs at 855.00 a ton, but none are able to
discover where sales are being aside ct this
range. In fact at any price millstuffs are prac
tically unobtainable st the moment, end no relief
is In sight. '
Passag of the Hoover food bill may prove
of soma benefit to the trede by giving the gov
ernment money by which to purchase flour, but
it ia generally believed that millers win not care
to grind- additional supplies at the prices they
will probably be offered.
Somewhat better demand for eeta and barley
for feeding is shown, but the taetle in grains as
a whole is not very liberal.

Exports of wheat flour to Cuba : War trade

CHANCE TO BUILD
MORE SHIPS FOR
NAVY LOOMS IIP
Steel Yard Owners Find Encour
agement in Present Attitude
of the Government.
OREGON'S RECORD IS GOOD
Portland Builders Lead Eastern
Yards in Production, It Is
Declared by Coast Builders.
With the failure of th government to
permit steel ship builders to make any
contracts or accept any work from the
French and Scandinavian Interests after
the armistice was signed, builders are
convinced that the federal .authorities
have recognised the value or th Facirw
coast yards over those of the Bast. Ship
yard managers reel positive- tnat aiter
the Emergency Fleet corporation con
tracts are finished effort will be made
to obtain contracts from the navy for
local ship yardsr
The facilities of the Columbia river
country has been well demonstrated by
tha war during which period -this sec
tion of the country readily supplied every
demand made on It. Builders now o-
lieva that the sTovernment is plannthg to
make an extension to the navy and, as
this region has shown up eo well with
eastern competition, they have good
ground to believe that the western
coast will come in for their share . of
tha new bulrdlnE.
Portland builders have assertea tnai
they haVe led the eastern yaroa in
nnint of production. Which alone would
offset any handicap of freight charges
anri ahlnnlnc facilities. Moreover, the
r.u-l industrial situation in ime
ret,"t is oetter, or - wui ps "
mmwrmi months, than any otner section
of the country. The wage scale Is
higher, making a more satisfied group
r lahnMra HlnV of WtlOWl may be
nhiainni at the moment the demand
for more labor is received.

Quarrel With Fleet Corporatio.
"That any unfriendly relations exist
between, the Emergency Fleet corpora
tion officials of Oregon and the Fa
! Marine A Iron works, as reported
in a incai newsnarer last evening, Is
noxltlvelv an untruth," says J. L.. Jen
nlngs.. manager of the Pacific Marine
Iron works, in a statement issuea mis
morning.
"There may have been minor quarrels
lwtwMn tha Emergency Fleet corpora
tion officials and our firm, such as might
exist between any two organizations
euch aa ours." continued Mr. Jennings,
'but as a whole our relations with th
nffiriata of the Emergency Fleet cor-
nnmilnn are absolutely the best and
mnat harmonious.
"The report baaed on alleged recent
conduct of employes or tne leet cor
rwvration did hot. come from represent a
tivaa of the Pacific Marine Iron
works, and if they did come from the
crew and men of the ship Ashburn dur
ing her trial trip, as reported, tney cer
tniniv are not the sentiment of the men,
"The men In charge of these ships on
their trial trips come In contact with
officials of the Fleet corporation every
day. and If any unfriendly relations ex
isted we certainly would have heard of
it long before this.
"The statement that officials of the
Fleet corporation are not competent men
or qualified for their work cannot be
based on truth, as these men know their
work and are well qualified.
Tha future of Oregon is In her lum
ber industry, and I cannot believe or
an, anv reason why discrimination
should be made against tho-wOoden ship
ping industry. Most all of the men of
the Emergency Fleet corporation In Ore
gon are Oregon men and are well In
formed' of the future of the lumber in
dustry In Oregon.'

however, tha new projects to be carried
