ally holds firm In the retail shop but
within a few days.the run la expected to
Increase materially.
It begins to look aa if the price of
sugar had been boosted too high and a
drop of 10c per sack is shown for the
day. As room retailers , were selling; at
old price, this will not affect the retail
price generally.
California lettuce Is being held . for
such high prices at this time that con
sumers can no longer afford tt The
same is rtue of celery, which is selling
as high as 25c a head.
With milder weather, it is likely that
tfZ prices will again slide here. Aa it
is getting rather late in the season, it
is belUved that the next slide will carry
values to. the low mark of the year.
It looks like a further advance In the
price of flour. Those that do not buy
will be sorry.

By Myman H. Cohan
It appear to be a runaway market for wheat
at this time- Even tba private houea of fog
land which make it a practice to (end out each
morning a bearinh cable no matter how much
they dei re anppliea. today actually cabled that
the general market waa firm and active.
Of apeeial interest to the trade ia confirmation
of additional foreign businesa in flour and wheat,
although none of tha orders ara in themselves
of heavy volume.
Moat of the wheat sold la club and tha flour
is generally chib straight. For that reason there
is a very, keen demand for white club m the
local territory, with confirmation of bustneae y
the country-a high as $1.15 per bushel, tide
water track delivery.
Blueatem is atill quoted at 11.80 for choice
milling grade, but owing to the acant stock of
thia variety and grade, the quotation may just
a wen be higher. It really is not a market
influence.

Whfla New Tork is not today willing to pay
the price demanded for pronea by Pacific coast
intereets, the situation ia rather good despite this,
with holdings ia tight hands.
New Tork today ia the cheapest market for
prunes in the United State, bat that appear
due to previous reoffering of American prune
which had been packed in Germany than to any
reaj wesaneas in ine Americas mitatto-
Both the Oregon and Washington Prune as
sociations, ss well as the California organiza
tion, are holding their prices firm at recent
advances. Stocks of prnnea ara dwindling fast
and. aa independent paekera are not inebmd to

house the trade was not active, notwithstanding
the fact that the supply wa small. Receipts
of livestock for the local yards today were esti
mated at 21.(100 rattle. 51.000 bogs. 14.000
sheep and 3000 calves.
Cattle Cattle trade waa slow, even for the

were ofr 25 cents from the close of last week.
Some steers sold at $9.00, but few were good
enough to reach above $ 00. Cows and heifers
also shotted a decline of 25 ceota in some spota,
while canners held pearly steady. Bulls were
again weak, while calves were down 25c, with

WALL STREET FEATUPRES
New Tork. Feb. 6. Pool operation were
more confident today. Predictions of a re
action heard so freely a Week ago had no been
borne out, and professional Wall street having
misxed it market on tha lone aid ih lrc
money on the short side, was aaxioua to racourj.
so it was sn easy matter for any group work
ing individual stocks to attract a following. The
day waa given over to a aeries of these special
movements, succeeding one another rapidly.
Both Chandler and Studeoaker made new high
records, still responding to lhe very optimistic
estimates of their earnings for the current year.
The buying in thaaa motors finally extended t
the jhotor accessory and the tire stocks, which
for some time pa&t have been lagging behind
MHrtin Parry was the leader of the motor ac
cessories, and Kelly-Springfield am Goodrich
of the tire bores. Oniti States Robber went
along, too. The impression has been that 'Rub
bers annual report will show a heavy loss, but
in it present mood, the market la ignoring de
ficit where it feels that these represent the
situation at its worst.
t'nited States Cast Iron Pipe common was
one of th lower priced issue to get into new
uigu grouna jor uie year. It moved forward
rather sharplv once it a-ot thrmrk its old hlrh
point of 21. The pipe-making industry suf
fered quite s slump in business during last
yr and tha year before, as municipalities were
not doing any building. The cast iron pipe ecen
uany depends for the greater part of its busi
ness on building" operations. It is not one of
the- companies which has agreed on the pipe
trade. Now that building operation are once
more increasing, ca-d; iron pipe ia getting its
share of the business and profits aps once
more coming in. t't Iron Pip preferred is
now en a $5 dividend basis and thia dividend
is nou-eumuiative. The preferred is entitled to
5 annually and once this rare is declared on
the senior issue, the common naturally falls
in line for dividends.

Vessel In Port
PORTLAND FIELD
Efforts of Puget Sound lnterearta te i
gain a part of Portland's exclusive trade
In the WUlametts vaJley, havef failed
since the interstate commerce commis
sion haa suspended proportional Clara
rates which were proposed 1 to become
effective this week between SeatUe and .
Portland and applicable on tntTid to
points south of Portland to Roseburg
and north of SeatUe to the Canadian
border.
This Inform atlorr was received today ' '
by John H. Lothrop, secretary of the
Portland Traffic At Trait sportaUon asso-
ciatlon. and marks the termination ct
a long effort upon the part of interests j
to the north to trade a part of their ex
clusive territory to the north of that
city for a part Of Portland's exclusive'
territory to the south.
TNCREASE PROPOSAL - ,
Rates between Seattle and PorUand,.
on account of water cornpeuuoci. were
carried on a low basts for a great many .
years. The Interested carriers proposed
to Increase the rates between Portland
and Puget Sound, and between Port-
land. Seattle and Taeoma and Grays -Hafbor
and W Ilia pa Harbor, to 87c first
class. Upon protest of shippers and
commercial Interests, this tariff was .
later withdrawn and new rates on a -75c
scalb were proposed. These rates
also were protested by the same Inter
est, but after hearing by the IntersrUUe -commerce
conunission' and the depart
ment of public works of WasbJnsrtoo, '
were approved and became -effective on
December L 112L The 75c scale waa re- '
garded by the carriers as unduly low,
but nevertheless it was felt that at those .
rates they would secure a fair share of -the
traffic
FBOPOBTIOHAL KATES '
Upon the urgent requeaTt of Seattle .
shippers, strongly supported by tht de
partment of public works of Washing
ton, the carriers put In pttrpottionai '.,
rates COo first class, 60c seoood class, -40c
third class and 25c fourth clAJts, on '
account of certain less than carlond sro
portional commodity rates carried by the
Southern Pacific from San FTartcLsoo
to Portland, which were used in con
structing through, rates to points In the
Willamette valley. Investigation devei- r
oped, however, that there was practically .
no movement from San Francisco t
points In the Willamette valley upon '
those rates. Any benefit accruing . te
Seattle under the new proportional
rates, which would apply on aU L C. L .
traffic, would result In crreaportdirig -
loss to Portland.
0EDEE CANCELED
The proportional rates were first pub-
llshed to become effective December : t, "
but were ordered canceled by the Inter- .
state commerce commission because they
were published on less than statutory
notice without authority. They are re- .
published effective February 5. but bos- -pended
upon protest and rex-tieert for.',
suspension Tiled for the Portland Traf
fic and Transportation association, at
the earnest solicitation of Its members,
who felt that the proposed proportional:
rates were unduly preferential to Seat
tle and unjustly discriminatory aaJiurt '
