There Is a complete absence of Inquiry
for potatoes for Bhipping purposes at
country points tributary to Portland
and similar news comes regarding other
centers of the United States, ,
With a total potato crop in the United Statea
that is believed to have parsed all previous pro
duction records, pracut-ailr ai sections have
potatoes of their own ana are .not in the market
for supplies from other districts -
Potatoes arc selling from 90c to $1 per cental
at Idaho, and Colorado shipping points for best
stock and there is stow demand at that. Both
of those, states have , considerable freight rate
advantage over this territory and even at the
same price it would be impossible to compete tor
the limited amount of business available
The' only business shown in-this territory is
the small lot purchase of Portland wholesalers
who are not generally offering above $1 a cental
for good quality.

Wheat Is Down
In Early Trading;
Selling by East
Chicago, Dec. 8. (L N. S.) Wheat
closed strong. Prominent commission
houses and elevator concerns absorbed
the offerings on the early break, and
when shorts tried to cover late in the
session they held prices up sharply
December displayed most strength on
better support coming from the sea
board. Coarse grains rallied near the
close in sympathy with wheat, the de
ferred months showing more resistance
on the , way . up. Provisions closed
sharply lower.
: Final prices were gains of l14c
for December, while March' was un
changed to c lower. December corn
advanced 'c, May unchanged, and
July MMo lower. December oats rose
C May Yc, and July c higher.
Chicago, Dec 3. (L N. ' S.) With best
selling by houses with Eastern connections
wheat opened He to c lower for December
and c off for March. The trade was light
and mixed. -
Corn opened unchanged to - He lower for
December nd He to He off for May. Trade
was light as in wheat and Eastern commission
houses were on the selling side.
Oats opened with light buying featuring the
early trade. "December was He higher and
May started H e lower to H e higher.
Scattered selling and lack of support fea
tured provisions at the opening. Prices were
around 10c lower. .
Portland; wheat Dies were 10c a bushel
higher for the leading options Friday on
the local exchange, a eheer.rise of about
29c since the low point was reached
November 26.
With many cargoes of wheat sold short here
by exporters, there has been a general scramble
for supplies in the country and bids are being
advanced there above th Portland basis.
Germany alone was a buyer of two shiploads
of wheat in Portland during the last few days.
The German food commissioner asserts that his
country will need about 72,000,000 bushels of
wheat this season, and it is to this country that
the German are looking for their supplies. "
No bids were named on oats' or barley during
the day. -

Apple Trade Slow
Yakima. Wash., Dec 8. Yakima's army of
labor employed in the apple packing industry
ia about through with the season's work. It is
estimated that over 1000 men, women and girls
have been employed at wagea ranging from $4
to $8 s day sines early in October. The season
generally continues till after the first of the
year, but owing to lyisatisfactory prices the
present crop is slow in moving, and workers
will be laid off. till the demand makes a more
active market. It ia estimated that fully 25
per cent of the Winesap crop is being held in
storage in loose boxes and will be packed out
when the market seems ready to absorb the
crop. - In thia way growers and shippers tie up
less money and aave on repacking charges in
the spring in case the storage has to be held
till late.
