There , is nothing , startling or even
Interesting In the local- or the Port-
lnd markets today. Fancy light cows
have taken a spurt and have set a
aw mark for the Portland yards.
The best are quoted at. 17.25. That
Is taken to indicate that the. shortage
In steer beef. Is going to run up
the price of everything that Is eat
able. Lttle cow meat comes to the
Portland yards and the local butch
ers declare that the .'percentage of
cow meat sold In this, shops.. I about
25 per cent. Not many years ago It
was hard ito get steer beef on the lo-
I, the lO-1
cal market but the fact that farmers
are holding their stock to repienisn
herds will make cow meat rather
scarce on the local market
Hogs Are Steady. .
Hogs are holding their own and the
price has been at the same figures j

markets would Indicate that there is
no dearth of hogs and that the price

' Head lettuce is about the only
green stuff that comes from out of
the city. Moat of the truck garden
ers have put away immense supplies
of carrots, turnips and cabbage and
j celery, and the same can be had at
very reasonable figures. Walla Wal-
' la Is sending some green stuff to the
I local market and from the reports of
the merchants there will be vegeta-
bles ou hand lor some time to come,
but the price will be fancy.
Ho Froien Oranges In Portland
The commission men and the mer-
chants of Portland have agreed that
they will allow no frozen fruit oa the
market Thla Is comforting In view
of the faot that the California peoplo
have taken, advantage of the Oregon
Inns In past years, and dumped all
of the worthless etuff on an unsus
pecting people.
Frozen fruit look like non frozen
fruit but the. difference to Juice and
