Mil feeds are showing a less urgent demsna
in the local market, although there is very little
stock available. The change in sentiment is
due to the fact that rolled barley and cracked
corn are relatively cheaper than saillstuffs hsve
been ruling at. The result is that bid and
ask price between the various mills and whole
salers have been reduced about $1.50 a ton.
With the new government flour orders avail
able there is a mistaken idea in some parts that
this will force an additional supply of mill feed
upon the market. This is not the ease, because
there hss been already ground by the miller
more than a sufficient supply to take care of
any orders that the government may distribute
during the day. '
Trend of the hay trade H qelst, although
practically no change is indicated In Quotations.
Coarse grains are steady, but wheat continues
to move to the East, where premiums are still
being paid.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS PLANNED n,rs,.
BUTTER MEN PLANA
NEW ORGANIZATION
TO AIO
Would Take in States of Oregon,
Idaho and Washington and Prob
ably Northern California Butter
Prices Are' Generally Down.
A creamery association of the Pacific North
west Is planned as a result of the recent meeting
of butter makers at Seattle. The proposed or
ganization would embrace the states of Oregon,
Idaho and Washington, and probably Northern
California. A meeting to perfect the organization
will be held February 18. but it has not yet
been definitely decided where it will be heia.
According to creamery Interests the purpose of
the organization will be to stabilize the business,
and the small creamery will be placed on exactly
the same footing as the big plants.
Cutting of butter prices is now general in the
local market, with sales during the day generally
at 64c for extras in box lots, with sales of half
boxes at 64 He and smaller lots st 65c a pound.
Sales of prime first in box lots are shown at 63c,
with ordinary firsts at 60 to 63c a pound.
Along with the cutting of butter prices comes
a change In the buying price of bntterfat. Most
of the cream is purchased at country stations, and
the price for No. 1 sour is placed at 62c there.
For city delivery quotations would range from 1
to 1 He a pound higher than country stations.

at North Portland and the general trend of the
trade is considered steady to strong. While
tops have recently sold in the lamb division as
high ss $14.50, it would take something ex

COTTON MARKET 18 ERRATIC
AT THE NEW YORK START
New York. Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) The cotton
market opened irregular today, and first prices
were S points lower to 40 points higher. Part of
the iteadiness was derived from the cable, which
were better than had been expected.
Fluctuations were erratic, and the market
could hardly be said to have a definite trend.

EUROPE GRABBED ALL
THE CHEAP APPLES
BECAUSE OF PRICE
Set Quotations by the Government
Causes Trad to Purchase
Stock for Abroad Speculators Are
Unwilling to Sell.
There is complete stagnation of trading la
apples at Pacifio Northwest primary centers.
While the demand is keen and would be active
if there -was general offerings, the lack of open
market supplies is keeping the market from
s&owinav-ny activity.
It now develops that the real reason why the
lower grade apples advanced so rapidly and wa
sold out so quickly at Pacific Northwest points
was that, eentrary to the usual custom, Europe
purchased these supplies instead' of the extra
fancy stock. This condition was caused by the
fact that the British government placed a max
imum price upon apples and that this priee
coma oe ootainea just as well tor the U
grade as for the fancy and extra fancy offerings.
There are plenty of orders available for
apples at primary centers: in fact, far more
orders are in sight at this time than the various
selling" organizations .have apples with which to
IU1 them. ,
It appear that some of the smaller speculators
have purchased a few carloads of apples and are
not willing to seu taem at any price Just now,
because they anticipate still greater return.
Local market is very firm as a result, with
prices maintained lor all ottering.

Corn and Oats in
A Downward Move
-By Joseph r. Prtlcftard
Chicago. Jan. 21. (L N. S.) Quite an ir
regular and- unsettled market for corn, with
price changes sharp and continuous, prevailed
during- the i entire day. Pronounced weakness
was shown early, and it looked as if the bears
were in complete control of the situation. After
pounding the market down sharply from the
resting spot of yesterday, there was a complete
reversal of conditions, as the early sellers took
hold in a liberal manner, and their purchases
were quite free.
There was a net gain in corn of IKS So.
with the February displaying the greater
strength, uats advanced 1 c
Hog products were irregular, pork advancing
80 75c; lard was 15c lower to 25c higher, and
ribs 27 He to 17 He higher.
Chicago, Jan. 21. (L N. 8.) With prices
to 1 lower, com opened today with the
market dull and lifeless. Trading was light, with
commission houses on the selling end.
Oats opened to c lower. The market
was featureless, with trading extremely light.
Provisions opened slightly lower, with practi
cally no trade.

LAST INJERW
WITH LIEBKNECHT
Declaring "Gulf of Hate" Be
tween Labor and Capital Wider
Than Ever Before.
By Skaw TJesmead
Exclusive Cable by the International Nawa Serv
ice and the London Daily Sxpsaaa.
Copenhagen, : Jan. 21. (I. K. S.)
"Never waa there such a gait of hate
between labor and capital as -exists
today."
Those words were contained in the
last Interview given out by Karl Lieb
knecht, the Spartacan leader who waa
killed by a mob in Berlin. It waa given
to the Berlin correspondent of the Poll,
tiken and printed here today.
LJebknecht waa tracked down by cor
respondents and was finally found Writ
ing; on a table in the kitchen of a small
apartment
At first Llebknecht refused to be in
terviewed, saying :
"I won't talk ; I only make revolution."
Asked for a photograph the red leader
declared :
"I have no private life; I only make
revolution."
Becoming angered at some remark
made by the correspondent, Llebknecht
burst out
"No people ' in history ever carried
through their political ideas without
force. It la an idyllic but naive plan
to try to accomplish social reform by
voting. It is absurd. The national as
sembly will be only a continuation of
the reichstag for talking shop. This
last gigantic fight in the world's his
tory means either the end or the con
tinuation of usury and capitalism. A
compromise is Impossible. Parliaments
are finished with and useless.
It was then that Llebknecht brought
in the "Gulf of Hate."

HOG PRICE POLICY;
TO BE CONTINUED
;- sxsSasaaaBstSsasxaSSxesaWSSS
Food Administration to Fulfill
its Pledge, Says Meat
Division Head.
Washington. Jan. iL TJ. P. The
hog price agreement policy of the food
administration wilt be continued, despite
attacks upon the present scale of $17.50
In the face of the present large surplus,
F. S. Snyder, head of the meat division
announced today. " "
"The rood administration will fulfill
Its pledge given to the hog producers
of the country on November S. 1917,"
said Snyder. "The attack (by the Chi
cago board of trade) ' is not justified
for the simple reason that the surplus
of hogs now in this country will turn
Into a big deficit before next summer
if Europe can get sufficient money and
ships to move the stuff."
The hog committee of the food ad
ministration will meet January 28 to
agree on a price for hogs during Febru
ary. ... i
"The visible demands will take care
of the surplus some time In March."
said Snyder. "Spring will see a slight
hog shortage instead or an overflow."
The agreement referred to by Snyder
is the statement of Joseph P. Cotton,
chief of the meat division, and now in
Europe with Herbert Hoover. The food
administration has no pries fixing
powers, but is authorised under the
T a. a mm k m,V B0Mbhmntsi with in.
dustries for stabilised prices.
Snyder declared tnat the high prices
are not of particular benefit to the
packers Inasmuch as the packers profits
are limit.
"It will be found," said Snyder, "that
packers sales will not have netted them
the full nine per cent which they were
allowed as a fair profit." .
Concerning the surplus; Snyder said
that the present supply of hogs Is 2,000,
000 less than in 1918. His figures show
that the hog production for 1916 was
43,073,703 ; in 1917 it was 33,909,664 ; in
1918 tlt totaled 40,795.477. These figures
represent hogs inspected and slaugh
tered. , L-Jt
