Cohen Flour prices are down again and con sumers will Immediately receive the ben efits because few of the retailers made purchases while the market was at the higher point. A drop of 40c per barrel In the price of- patent grade was an nounced by all the local mills, this mean ing 10c per sack less for the consumer to pay. ' Kgs prices appear to have dropped en tirely too fast and the market is show ing eome reaction. Nevertheless sales are being made in some of the downtown retail shops at 50 63c, while the latter price is being aslcod on the public market. Chickens are cheaper again with rather fair supplies offering and most retailers have cut their prices at least Sic a pound. ; Columbia river'smelt are firmer with single pounds selling at 10c. while some of the downtown markets are selling three pounds' for 25c. fresh salmon con tinue ver-y scarce, but a small amount of halibut is being offered.

With continued declines in the price of wheat, local millers announce a. general decline of 40c per barrel in family flour and in whole wheat and graham prod uct. The new list on patent at the mills is $9.80 per barrel. The. lower price went into effect at the open ing of the Thursday morning trade. It was not until a very lafe hour Wednesday afternoon that millers derided to make the change. No change waa announced in either soft wheat flour or in bakers' brands. Millstuffs were unchanged for the day and feedstuff were likewise stationary in price. Wheat prices hist heavily si the opening of the eastern option markets Thursday morning Tin' absence of English purchase and only nomi nal business reported from other tountrics, aided the declines. Hay market continues quiet and re rosed prices are shown. While only small parcel were taken at a time, confirmation was given today by local mill ma interests that considerable flour of various grades had been sold by Pacific Northwest mills tu. the United Kingdom and Continental Europe during the last 30 day a.

This is clearly shown! in a survey ''Just completed by the Lum bermens Trust company of Portland which. In addition to making Inquir ies of ae large number of Northwest ern banks, sent Ira Walker, its treas urer to Investigate first hand, "Walker visited every manufacturing, agricul tural and timber section of import ance, and the data he secured j con firmed the reports that the company received from the banks in answer to its questionnaire. . The local, bank investigated conditions affecting crops, livestock, manufactur ing, retail business, bank loans, invest ments, bank deposits and labor. A summary of the reports follows ; BAKS OPTIMISTIC J "Conditions in the Pacific Northwest ern nftes are generally sound and the overwhelming majority of bankers are of the opinion that busynesH can look forward with optimism from now on. "It is apparent," says the bank, "that there never has been so large a per centage of farm products held by' the producers at this season of the - year. Our reports show a few districts where farmers are holding as high as $0 per cent of their crops. Wheat overshad ows everything else in the amount hetd and this is the all-influencing factor in shaping conditions in the wheat grow ing sections. "One big bank of the Interior, in reply ing, sums up the situation thus : 'Wheat holding unprecedented, but we antici pate no difficulty in financing all legiti mate and essential demands.' WOOL FAILURES FEW "The livestock industry, including wool production, has been hit by market conditions. Reports from-the sections where they are bis factors, however, It is gratifying to note, contradict recent stories regarding the future of the in dustry. Failures, In fact, have been few and possible ones are largely discounted. "Although we found that iriany of our manufacturing plants are running on part time or are closed, there is only a small percentage of unemployment much less, indeed, than generally sup posed. Outside the large cities, where men in numbers undoubtedly have drifted, the unemployment problem is of little consequence. - ' MERCHANTS PLAY SAFE "Merchants have reduced stocks and also reduced their bank loans mate rially. This applies even in the single crop regions where merchants and banks alike carry .the farmer through the year. Merchandise on hand, apparently, is less than normal requirements. This situation indicates that retailers for the most part have already taken their losses and now are ready for resumption of profitable business at the new low level. 1 j "The banks of the Northwest are ! In very good condition and have gone through the readjustment period splen didly. A noticeable contrast between the business conditions east and west of the Cascades is shown. West of the Cascades, 68 per cent of the. banks re port higher deposits than a year ago. East of the mountains, 80 per cent re port deoreases. The same percentage practically applies to loans. Most of the banks state that they have taken care of all legitimate needs In their respective districts and report also an easing up of demands for loans. BOND ISVESTJXO POPVLAB "From the standpoint of investments, 97 per cent of the banks report Invest ments in government and municipal bonds. . These range from a very small amount to as high as 60 per cent of the deposits. The amounts held are higher on the western slope of the Cascades than in the Interior. Every bank In Western Washington, for example, re ports that it has invested In municipal bonds. j ' "To summarize, conditions are gen erally easier, the banks, and business and agricultural interests are optimistic ; losses have been taken philosophically, by business men and producers ; the gen eral spirit of go ahead is beginning, to make Jtself strongly felt." j Local People Own Wilsonville Bank T- j WUsonYille, Jan. 27. The Farmers Bank of WilsomviUe is now a j strictly local institution, owned ' and controlled by residents of the Wilsonville district, through the purchase of the stock of. Andrew Kckren and Leroy D. j Walker, president and vice president,! respec tively, who are at the head of the State Bank of Portland. At the recent annual meeting of the stockholders Homer A.
