Pries wnsettlett sale from 48 to Me,
"Market for eggs is showing dmoralisatiou
here owing to the attempt to retain price
that were not Justified either by locl con
ditions or vslnes at other points. While both
the Fool try association and aom of the prHate
fmu are still asking 62s for select, other
are offering' the same class of stock at BOa
and even fractionally less in lota.
There .is do longer any special desire on
the part of the trade to load op with eggs,
The fact that Portland prices were kept at the
hichest point in the United Btatee, Mew
York excepted, created more bearish sentiment
than would have bees the ease it valnas hen
were allowed to follow the real eonrse of sup
ply and rtmanfl,
. "There la aot the might doubt that the
.price of fresh eg na been neia nun in oraer
to gnload remaining stocks of storage goods.
mrrti though leaders of the trade deny they
bare anything- in that line to offer.
Those desiring special ' information regarding
any - auarket, should write the Oonuneroial
Editor, Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for

By Hjmaa H. Coke .
Consumers are not Kclngr to pay more
for their Chr in trass turkeys than necea
BJtry. Moet of Utem are not ordering
their supplies in advance because they
realize that If they do the highest
values most be paid as a rule. This
holding; bade of baying; is expected to
create a lower price range at retail.
TheM retailer is always the one to suf
fer from such notion and seldom, ma keet
a profit on the holiday birds. One
thing: is certain, there is better aver-
ago Quality for Christmas than knon
tor many years. ; . -:
XHicks and gee so are plentiful and
really low-priced- Many consumers
will purchase these or chickens instead
of turkeys. This is likely to be true
especially of the small families which
canno use a turkey except with waste.
There are ample stocks of nuts of all
kinds with prices reasonable in retail
shops. -;- ,
Cranberries are too high and many
will not buy. - Retailers asking from
25c to 20c a. pound. , -s -
A few COrambia -river smelt are again
arriving and ' finding sale at 50c a'
pound. At this price they, nave a good
taste. . -" ' - -- ; '
Ink fish are also available in down
town markets.
Oranges are much cheaper, especial
ly in the stores that did not purchase
earlier. L. Wholesale ' prices dropping
fast. Quality is improving.
- Celery, lettuce, sprouts, egg plant.
cauliflower and sweet potatoes gen
erally offeaing. All except sweet pota

cheap.

Prices here are still slightly out of line
with foreign trade condition. Exporters
claim that 31.20 is about the top hn white
club for foreign shipment as wheat. Recent
purchases st the higher prices appear to be for
the account of mills who had previously sold
club straight floor for export.

Fear Liverpool
Wheat Advances
Much 1 1nflated
Chicago. Dec. 20. Wheat bulls had their
confidence disturbed by the action of the mar
ket today. It wss the first time . in week
that the Liverpool market made a full re
sponse to the American advance of the day
before. This encouraged buying at the open
ing and December and May reached new high
points on the crop. Some of the longs were
suspicious over the action of the English msr
ket regarding it as erttficisUy Inflated and
they sold out their wheat on the early ad
vance. Thie disclosed a lack of auypuri and
more B3 nidation followed when it was learned
that a big Eastern long was disposing ef his
holdings of corn. The big local longs sup
ported the market but on any rally there was
wheat for sale. Cash wheat premium was
firm. Milling demand for wheat was quiet.
Seaboard advised that while no sales for ex
port were reported, there; wss a belief that
some bus) nee. had been worked oa the break.
It was reported via Omaha that Italy had
removed the imporf daty en flour sad was
asking for offers for quick shipment.
December corn sold at a new high level st
the start and late months started higher. The
bulge brought out heavy seliing and this con
tinued for some time, the sales being mostly
so Eastern longs. Support from, leading long
interests was uncovered, - but this proved -inadequate
to prevent a material break. Cast
com was easier, discount for Ke. 3 grades
being wider. Shipping demand was slow.
Country offering, to arrive were more liberal.
Export brokers said that bids from the sea
board were withdrawn but the seaboard told
of some business being worked en the dip.
Sales of 120.000 bushels of contract core
were made to go te store, i
Oats were higher early,! but prices goffered
s recession Ister la sympathy with grain.
Sales of 10.000 bushels of oats went to store.
Provisions higher with hogs early bat re
acted later with grain. .
