May Delivery, of Wheat

CHICAGO. Jan. 4. Soaring
prices of com today Ufted the
value of all grain. The rise -j In
com was chiefly du to- scarcity ot
receipts. Wheat dosed firm, c
to iyc net higher, Mar. $1.08
to 1.0S, and July, tl.06-
Corn, after reaching new high
price reeerd for- the season, f ln
iahed pit 154c to 2 &2ic gain,
vlth oate-o to" c up, and
provisions varying from a shade
decline to Ce advance. L,; f j
Before the. bulge in the corn
market began, wheat prices In Chi
cago had , a downward , tendency,
the result of sympathy with weak
nes& ot wheat quotations at. Liver
pool, where offerings of Canadian
wheat were said to be cheaper and
it was reported' Argentine ship
ments had enlarged. As soon as
enhancement of ; corn prices be
came pronounced, however, there
was. rather-1, lively demand ! for
wheat, traders who' were short
showing anxiety both, on account
of the ascent of corn and as a re
sult' of the circumstance tthat
wheat receipts In, every direction
were meager. , - ' ; ;

this connection it was pointed out
that shipments from Chicago, the
last -few days have exceeded the
receipts and' that apparently . interior-
millers were turning to pri
mary makets to obtain supplies.
Talk; was current furthermore that
wheat, as well as corn, may be on
a strict domestic, basis before the
end of the crop, year.
i Big broad trading in corn was
witnessed, and . notwithstanding
that rural offerings became some
what larger as the market .went
upward; the total- remained much
below- what i usual for January.
Particular stress wa laid; on the
fact that in- the northwests espe-

ties, the net gains in most issues
were limited to fractions.
Selling , pressure was again In
evidence at ;the opening, particu
larly in the oil, independent steel
and motor x shares, but this was
lifted before, noon on a resump

good gains j recorded In these

Little DifferenUFroro Fresh,
Local Dealer Explains for
Housewives S
Housewives are skeptical "re
garding frozen fish, a local dealer
recently jremarked. He went on
to show that fish sold In this con
dition ia often in better condition
than that classed as fresh. ,
When fish la frozen the Per
formance is carried out imme
diately upon removal from the
water, he said. The fish are
caught, dipped . in brine and aK
lowed to freeze. Practically no
time is lost between their exit
from the water to the entrance in
to the Ice. After they are placed
at the disposal' of the retailer, they
are thawed out - gradually, cold
water ; generally being used. i
: Fresh f iah, arepacked . io;lce.
Often this win slip and expose a-
pertion- of the fish to the air. Of
course every precaution Is taken
to prevent this, but when they
reach the market and the pur
chaser, they a!re really in no bet
ter condition, than the fish that
has been properly, frozen.
One of. the frozen, fish- was slic
ed for the reporter in order that
he might seethe condition of the
meat. The exterior of -the fish was-j
Blightly wrinkled but the meat
could hardly be told from that of
the fresh fish.;
The cold weather las cut off
the local supply of : vegetables but
Salem housewirea have : plenty
nevertheless because of "the Call-,
fornia stock, which1 has; been ship
ped it to meet the demand. Cel
ery, lettuce, cabbage', are available
in sufficient quantity for all de
mands. '
The continued cold is expected
to bring a substantial raise in the
price of egg although this: has
not been noticed yet. The price
yesterday was 38 to 40 cents a
dozen with prospects of an ad
vance. Creamerymear Preparing for
