hall an attractive feature and each
guest upon entering, was given a
quaint motto cap to wear during the
evening. The music by the Eppel
| Sr. orchestra was of its usual fine
quality and added to the enjoyment
of the dancing. Several new features
of the terpsichorean order were in
troduced, one of them being the old
fashioned square dance. At the con-

WHEAT MARKET GAIN

CHICAGO, April 13.-This wheat
market closed with net gains OF 1-2c
to 5Sc over last prices Thursday. This
did not represent the remarkable
good activity and range Sturday. May
wheat sold at 80 3-4c and on a split
over 81 1-2c, the close 81 3-8@91 1-2c
July sold at S-6 lac and up to SIC,
closing on a split under top figure.
The market was lifted out of the
rut by active buying operations, based
on green bug reports from Oklahoma.
1t was the opinion of best observers
in the pit at the close that only a
small portion of the heavy short in
terest in the trade covered on the up

SPRING LAMBS SHARPLY
LOSE DURING THE week
Courtesy the Journal.)


PORTLAND. Ore. April 13.-The
sharp losses in the price OF spring
lamps at North Portland during the
week was practically the only sensa-
tional feature of the trade, although
the cattle situation merited much at
tention.
While it Is true that there were
quite fair supplies of lambs market
ed at North Portland during the
week, the weakness in values was so
intense that 1t attracted considera BILE
attention. Almost every day there
was an additional loss in the price of
spring offerings. To some extent this
break in values seems to have been
forecast by the sharp declines in the
price of country killed offerings in
the Front street produce trade. The
fact that there has been but limited
call for spring lambs from any
source this season, indicated that
prices would soon reflect the trades
sentiment.
While 1t is true that one sale Of
quite fair sized lot was made to
Puget sound killer early in the week
at s12, this price did not at all rep
resent the general conditions of the
trade, nor the price generally being
offered. The lot sold to the Puget
sound killer was of extreme good
quality and was we'll worth a prem
ium of several dollars over the reg
