Br Hyman H. Coben
Retail butchers are not at all keen
about giving; the public the benefit of the
very low prices that have ruled cm veal
recently in the wholesale market. The
public is so tired of the extreme prices
asked by retailers In the face of abnor
mally low values at wholesale, that It is
buying; but sparingly. : Retailers report
doing very little business compared with
the normal, but this appears due prin
cipally to the fact that they are unwilling-
to give the public any of the bene
fits of lower prices. . :
No matter how low the price goes at
wholesale, many of the retailers have
some manner of absorbing this reduction.
Many of : them are inclined to talk of
lowering values, but actual purchases
made show this to be untrue except for
inferior quality, i
Lard is the one cheap thing that re
tailers are selling today. One down
town shop has been quoting 15c a pound
for a number of days.
Egg prices are now beginning to climb
and poultry too Is showing the effects
of much smaller supplies.
Asparagus Is lower with sales on the
public market down to 25c for two
bunches. These, however, weigh only
4 pound generally, although Ihe legal
weight Is one pound.
The following prices rule generally in retail
shops for good quality.' Some values are frac
tionally higher, inferior stuff fractionally lower

Bakers flour showed a further ad
vance of 25c a barrel in the local mar
ket for the day, placing the extreme
quotation at 8.25 per barrel. No change
was made in patent Hour but the trade
is given the tip to prepare for a change
soon.: ..... .. ' ' ;
Higher, prices were again forced for wheat op
tions at the opening of the eastern trade Thurs
day. Short covering in the May was believed to
be ooa reason but the one big feature outstand
ing is the European political situation.
Considerable wheat haa- been reported pur
chased at interior points during the last 24 hours
although there appears to bo .a holding tendency
among most of the growers at this tuna, due
to latest price advances.
' With the advance of 25e quoted in bakers'
flour, hard wheat is up to 88.25 with blueetera
at 97.75 and Willamette valley 97.23 per bar
rel. Patent flour is very quiet and with most of
the retailers selling at th present wholesale price
or leas, it would appear foolish to advance the
latter while retailers have such liberal stocks. -'

TANKER TAKEN TO
TO
To carry 10,000 tons of grain to
the United . Kingdom, the tanker
Bwiftscout was taken this morning
by the Northern Grain & Warehouse
company for Immediate loading. The
Swiftscout is one of the new tank
ers built for the Swiftsure Oil
Transportation company by the
Northwest Bridge & Iron company.
Terms of the charter are private, but
will probably come within the confer
ence rate. The Swiftscout la a privately
owned boat and will not come within
the dictates of the shipping board as re
gards, crew. '
Seven vessels were built for the Swift
sure Oil Transportation company at
Portland. Three were equipped and sent
to sea, but are now tied up at New Or
leans. Three are in Portland harbor
and the last is on the ways. The craft
were constructed for the transportation
of oil from Tampico to the United King
dom, but the bottom fell out of the
market on the continental aide and the
ships were tied up.
The chartering of the Swiftscout for
grain opens up a new avenue of trade
for the big tankers. They measure
12,000 tons dead weight and can carry
both bulk and sacked wheat.
ONE V. S. .DEPARTMENT FINES
ANOTHER XT. S. DEPARTMENT
The United States government has
fined itself $1000 for violating its own
rules of shipping.
Just how the fine will be paid or
from what pocket it will come is the
mystery that suggests itself because
of the latest row between the United
States collector of customs and the
United States shipping board.
' Collector of Customs Will Moore Im
posed a fine- of 91000 against the
steamship West Ivan, a shipping board
vessel, which sailed for the Orient last
night The fine was assessed $500 for
not having a sufficient number of able
seamen and $500 for not having a full
complement of officers.
The West Ivan was dispatched under
the direction of James W. Crichtori,
agent of the division of operations for
the shipping board, and left down the
river at 1 o dock this morning witn
a cargo of lumber for the Orient- She
was one of the shipping board boats
held up on account , of the marine
workers strike. ,
