EGG TRADE SLIDING
VERY FAST TOWARD
BOTTOM OF LADDER
Values Continue to Drop Here With
; Almost Complete Stagnation of
, fyiylng Because of Expectations of
St HI Lower Figures.
. FURTHER DECLINE FORCED
LaU In the day It was announced that the
hur'ng price of currant receipts Friday had
bean placed at BOe dozen by some of the bit
f, e. b. firms ; a drop of 3c from Thunday price.
Condition of the market tor eggs Is still ex
tremely weak along Uw wholesale way. Businessd
In a wholesale way may be said to bare stopped
.:. altogether and not be very faf from, the truth
because only extremely limited sales were shown
' along th street during the last 24 hours.
Sales 0 eggs by the regular wholesalers to
retailers ha to been practically suspended and
titers Is a wide spread in the prices asked. Be
tween Jobber and wholesalers there is some busi
ness pa-wing but it is entirely confined to lower
priced sales. Some business in this, division
passed around 65e a dozen for current receipts
, but aa a rule the big buyers are not willing to
' pay above 53c a dozen for such offerings during
the day and are not over anxious to do business
- at that. ' t
The big buyers of eggs are really welcoming
sharply lower values. In fact they appear to feel
that the sootier the market drops to the bottom,
the better it will be for all concerned. When the
market is dropping from day to day it demoral
ise trsde to a very considerable extent, but the
moment the low. mark is apparently reached, trade
is generally favorable.
CAJTSKD MILK PBICKS MIXED
Since the taking off of restrictions by the gov
ernment, soma of the wholesale grocers are not
content to accept former prices and are quoting
about lSe advance for canned milk while no
changes are announced by makers.
CAR OF BLOOD ORASGKS ARRIVES
. First full carload of blood oranges of the sea
son has. arrived on the local market and was
offered during the day. Priced at $3.75 4.25
per box. Regular oranges are unchanged.
"POTATO BUYING AfiAIX CEASES
Temporary setback in southern prices is causing
a slower demand for potatoes for shipment but
along1 Front street the market remafns -in good
condition. Kales to retailers around $1.75
2.00 per cental.
TiO ACTIVITT SHOWS FOB BEANS
No activity whatever is showing in the bean
trsde, Local wholesale grocers say that they
ire selling fewer- beans than for many years past
while shippers say that outside trade Is stagnant
and Inclined to rule weak.
CABBAGE MARKET RATHER SLOW
Market for caboage is rather slow along the
street. With several carloads of California stock
In and with shaded prices for such offerings and
with greater local supplies, trade is inclined to
weaken.
BRIEF SOTE8 OF PRODUCE TRADE
Butter and cheese firm at unchanged prices.
.Onion tales continue slow; prices stesdy.
Poultry market steady with arrivals fair; prices
the same.
Some ripe bananas are again available.
' Cracker prices slightly easier. '

KILLED HOG PRICES SLUMP FAST ALONG
Apple Grades in
Mixed Shape
Packs Are Not at' All Uniform la
Northwest.
x . By Hrmun H. Cobea
More uniform apple grading: is nec
essary, even in. the Pacific Northwest,
vhere the pack Is already better than
in any other part of the world.
Fact of the matter Is that the "C"
grade of one section Is better, in most
instajices, than the "fancy" of another
section, and about aa good as the "extra
fancy" of other sections. In fact, some
of the local buyers have recently ex
pressed the opinion that they would pay
as much for the "C" grade of a cer
tain variety of apples packed in one
section named as they would for the
"fancy" , cf another named noted sec
tion. This great difference in pack is caus
ing much concern and ' trouble in the
trade, and a remedy must be found
quickly by the growers or their pack
marks will really have no considera
tion whatever in the trade.
.Great strength continues n the apple
market, with a dozen buyers apparently
in sight for svery carload of fruit that
remains unsold in the Pacific Northwest
primary markets. In fact, prices con
tinue to tend upward in all of the late
varieties at primary points, while a
steady tone is indicated in the East.
Slow Trade Shown
At Chicago Opening
By Joseph F. Prftchard
Chicago, Jan. IS. (I. N. 8.) Price changes
in corn were continued today and the closings
showed more or less uneasiness in the result of
the day's business. The Janusry was unchanged
in price. February Was up lc, March H
c higher, and May and July were He
lower. Oats were unchanged to H '4 c lower.
Provisions showed but little change, although the
feeling was unsettled and irregular.
Chicago. Jan. 18. (L N. 8.) Corn opened
4 1 He lower today, with the market some
what dull and lifeless. Commission houses bought
lightly. Otherwise the market was devoid of
feature.
Oats opened unchanged. The market was slow,
with commission houses selling.
Provisions opened a trifle lower. Trading was
extremely light and featureless.

HOG MARKET BUSTS
AND A DEMORALIZED
TONE IS SHOWING
Front Street Getting Far More Than
It Is Able to Sell Without a
Sharply Lower Value Veal and
Beef Continue in Demand.
Market for country killed hogs is eompleteely
demoralized along Front street with bnze offer
ings during the last few days and very little de
mand from the retailers. .
It la always dog eat dog in the market for
country killed stuff. When there is a shortage
the price is . boosted to the skies despite the vio
lent complaints of the retailer, while there Is
a huge slump whenever a surplus appears. At
that timeand this speaks of the present mo
ment the retailer la in control, and be has
little sympathy for anyone who is inclined to
name anything except sharply lower values.
Sales of country killeed bogs along the street
during the but 24 hours were generally at 19
2 Go a pound for exetreme top quality while most
of the late business was at the lower mark.
Some really good hogs, but a shade under the top
hogs that are usually classed aa tops when the
market is good sold down to 18c during the 24
hours while heavy staff was dragging at 16c at
the same time.
Weakness in hog prices has not affected the
market for calves and while the bulk of the
tops are sold at 22 0 22 H e a pound, a few small
lots went at 23o again.
Beef market is firm for country killed stuff
but goats are neglected. Few mutton or lambs
arriving.

First arrivals of hogs by auto truck over the
new Columbia river highway came forward from
Hood River during the last 24 hours, a shipment
of 14 head being sent forward by M. L Mason,
the fruit grower, from that point. Hunt Com
mission company received the shipment. The
sending of bigs by anto from Columbia river
points is expected to increase In volume from this
time, as much time can be saved in reaching the
market.

Portland during the day, with average tops
around $16.80, and average sales of good stuff
reaching no higher than $16.75.

Instead cf the flour market improving and
thereby increasing the output of milkttuffs, the
situation today is far worse than any time to data
tnis exciting season.
With sew vessels built on the coast now being
diverted into other channels instead of being
filled with flour from the Pacific Northwest, as
had been presumed would be done, millers have
practically thrown up their hands. One of the
big eat side mills closed down half of its ca
pacity during the day. and the other half will
be closed by the end of the week unless there is
a radical change in the situation. A big west
side mill has already closed. Most of the mills
of the interior have already closed their plants,
and the few remaining ones will cease operating
within a day or bo. On Puget Sound the eitua
tion is similar to that shown in Portland.
It can therefore be seen quite easily that with
no more than a nominal amount of mlllstuffs
available while the- mills were operating, there
is practically nothing available today. One of
the bigger mills which makes more rauletuffs
than any other In this section, reported during
the day that it had less, than one day s operat
ing supply on hand, and its plant swat being
cloeed. ? '
