Consumers are watching; with much
patience the constantly changing rates on
foreign exchange, for It means, after all
is said and done, whether the price of
foodstuffs will go higher or lower.
If the exchange rates go lower It
means , that the value of the foreign
money wilt be so much reduced that the
cost of food will be so high abroad that
the average consumer there wlU be un
able to secure their regular wants.
It has been the huge export demand
for foodstuffs that has to some etxent
put the cost of living to Us present
abnormally high baais. The moment
that export demahd ceases . or decreases
materially, just that moment is there
likely to be a general downfall of food
stuffs and other commodities.
It has been the big demand for butter
and eggs abroad that forced prices on
those commoditias extremely high and
this has been true of other articles.
Some that were not shipped abroad were
Indirectly affected by those that were
shipped.

ronaumera are expected to pay at retail atorea.

OREGON HOLDING
I
Sheep Growers of the State Appear to
Be Indifferent to Protection Meas
ureOther States Assist
Much Interest la shown In wool trade
circles here since the receipt of house
bill X1641, .introduced by Mr. French
for the protection of the woolgrowers
anS the public against the ragpicker and
the seller of shoddy goods. The title
of the bill is : To prevent deceit and
profiteering that results from the un
revealed presence of substitutes for
virgin wool in woven fabrics purport
ing to contain wool and in garments or
articles of apparel made therefrom,
manufactured in any state or territory
of the United States or the District of
Columbia, or transported or Intended to
b transported in Interstate or foreign
commerce, and providing penalties for
the violation of the provisions of this
act, and for other purposes.
This proposed measure haa been Introduced
and referred to the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce end waa first proposed by
The Journal.
A hearing will be given all interested parties
and already soma ofth sheep producing states
have indorsed th measure and it likewise has
the indorsement of the National Wool Growers'
association.
While Oregon is ona of the leading aheep
states of the country, no effort whatever haa
been made by sheepmen her to aid the passage
of the bill. This has created much interest tn
congress as well as in other state end the
question is being asked by varioua parties as to
whether the sheep growers of this state really
want to b protected. Other state have raised
funds to end advocates of the measure to
congress but Oregon has thus far refused to
do anything.

By Joseph P. Prtlchard
Chicago, Feb. 6. (I. N. 8.) The corn
market showed surprising strength toward the
end of the day, following a weak and sharply
lower market in the forenoon. The recoveries
late amounted to 0 1 e on abort buying,
coupled with the drying up of the offerings.
February corn closed unchanged while there was
a decline of H 0 le in the more deferred
months.
Oats futnre were 1 4 c lower.
Hog products were lower all around.
Chicago. Feb. 6. u. N. S.) Advance in
sterling exchange to $3.40 caused com to
open with commission houses buying freely
with first trades showing an advance of H to
4 c. Offerings were limited.
The same condition with regard to buying
and selling prevailed in oat, which opened
H 0 He higher.
Provisions opened 20c lower for pork and 6c
off for ribs. Buying by stockyards interests
stimulated lard, which sold higher with small
offering.

CONTINUED SHORTAGE
OF FREIGHT CAR
liCOT 10
I 10
Analysis Shows That District Is
Getting Much Less Than Quota
of Empty Cars.
Continued shortage of freight cars for
handling the output of Northwestern
lumber mills la predicted In a message
received today from Robert B. Allen,
secretary of the West Coast Lumber
men's association, now at Washington
with J. N. Teal, attorney for the asso
ciation, in an effort to secure relief
through officials of the United States
railroad administration.
Analysis covering several weeks, just
completed by the West Coast associa
tion, shows the Pacific Northwest is re
ceiving only about 30 per cent of its
car requirements, although the average
supply throughout the country Is from
60 to 75 per cent of normal.
In a message from Chicago, Allen
states that only a small portion of the
cars promised the lumber industry of
the Northwest by the railroad adminis
tration have actually been delivered.
and he warns lumbermen against piling
up stocks in the hope of better car sup
ply following the return of the roads to
their owners. The roads will be unable
to relieve the situation for several
months after the roads return to pri
vate control, he says.
"Several weeks ago the railroad ad
ministration announced . that eastern
lines would deliver 875 cars dally
through Chicago to western lines, of
which 500 cars daily would be . turned
over to the Northwestern region," Allen
states. "Instead of 975 cars, this move
ment for a few days averaged 152 cars
and has since dropped ' rapidly untl
only two cars were delivered daily at
Chicago for the Northwestern lines.
Practically the entire movement has
been absorbed at Chicago, with the ex
cepUon of a few cars which got
through to Minneapolis."
