By Hymaa H. Cohea
Coneumera are entitled to buy their
poultry aupliea at lees money than they
are now paying because; the wholesale
pricea have dropped considerably, but
little benefit ia-belnir given to the public
This is the fault of both the wholesaler
and the retailer. With Iigrhtweigrht hens
elllng alive In the wholesale market
around 18c a pound, the d reused coat
should not be above 23c a pound and the
margin of the wholesaler should not
advance this coat above 2526c at the
most.
ThU should mean that the retailer
would be miking a big- p so fit at 85c a
pound, but moST of them are asking 400
45c a pound for this class of stock, and
are retting away with It.
Heal red Chinook salmon ia being of
fered to consumers today by fish mar
kets as low aa 10c a pound In whole or
half fish sales, although many are ask
ing 12 "c for this same class of gooda.
Most or tne risn dealers are taking
moderate profit although some firms are
aaking as high aa 25 30c a pound for
fish that la no better than the 12ftc
Mock. This is clearly profiteering and
consumers are advised that they can se
cure tjielr fish at the lower prices. If
they pay the higher price It Is their own
fault

There is practically no established
market today in the Pacific Northwest
for clover seed purchases. Practically
every buyer has - retired from the field
because of the overabundance of offer
ings and the inability to find purchas
ers. The market Is deadlocked.
Some selling of wbeat ia shown aa a result
of the slight increase noted in the priee, but no
general movement ia as, yet under way at in
terior points.
Flour market k stagnant Shading of price
is again shown, although leading mills have
made no change in their card pricea. Retailers
are buying patent even below the $12 mark be
cause some of them are actually sailing at that
price.
Miiletuffs are easier and are down an addi
tional dollar a ton with sales around $56 at the
mills.
May continues ouiet with pricea on a nom
inal basis.
Broocnhall cabled:
United Kingdom Wheat supplies in this
country appear to be quite large.' and there are
crntinuoue good arrivals of Manehurian grades.
Offerings of native wbeat continue in fair supply.
Weather ia favoring the late harvest, but there
are complaints that soma yields are disappointing.
France ia still estimating its import require
ments of wbeat at a comparatively small figure,
considering reports of the borne crop.
Germany In some qnarterseHhere is eonslder
sble doubt regarding the low official out-turn es
timates, for the weatfier recently has been very
favorable for lata crops.
Italv Weather has been rather nnfsvorshl.
