Rather It ap pears that the gain In the local sup ply la due entirely to the fact there was one holiday last week. The In crease In the country supply hero In dicates that Portland Is paying rela tively better prices for underscore butter than other markets along the coast. . There was no further chnngo In the price list on the open market for the day; both prints and cubes being held stationary at the rocent botterment for underscores. ' j Butterfat values ore stoady. There was again a lack of price cnange In tne local market ior eggs. General conditions wero unchanged. xxjoe.HU. are now u. ..u.ug ..,.. own. . While there was somo talk of price reduction by poultry buyers for the coming week, no changes were an- nouncod In values on hens for the day. Full stoadlness Is reflected for broilers.

Considerable activity Is suggested In the markot for loganberries, rosp borrles and blackcaps with prices steady to a trifle better In spots.

' While there was a rather liberal supply of country killed calvco re ceived during the last 24 hours: de mand was Btrong and sufficient to olean up qulokly at full prices. Othor meats are steady to strong. Early turkey season Is suggested In the groat numbor of young birds weighing 6 to 8 lbs., now available. There Is a demand for broilers weigh ing 314-4 lbs., but these aro hard to locate. The advance of 16o per hundred pounds reported yesterday by Pacific as well as Atlantic coast refiners, Is now In effect In the sugar market here. The market Is firm. - Notes of wholesale trading: Changes In lard, cooking compounds and picnics now showing. First carload of California Bartlote pears of the season has arrived.

He has his chance now to pick up again the steady progress ho was making as a prize lighter when he overreached himself two years ago, came too soon to his title chance, and Instead of tho defeat Jack Sharkey . was administering that night suddenly was awarded a championship on a foul. Pew fighters havo ever climbed the title stairs with as little major experience the the leather-hided German. He leaped to his title chance in Just three Important bouts, a decision over Joe Sckyra, a knockout of Johnny Rlsko, and a decision over Pauling Uzcudun. ALL HAD TO FIGHT Even Jim Jeffries, who had but ten battles to his credit when he whipped Bob Fitzslmmons 40 years ago ln Carson City for the most meteoric heavyweight title rise of all times, faced more testing, pol iBhing opposition than that. Jim had beat Gus Ruhlln, Joe Choyln skl, Peter Jackson and Tom Shar key on the way up. Ruby Rob had at least 50 stiff matches . before he got his title chance against Jim Corbett and Gentleman Jim had a score to his credit before he conquered the im mortal John L. Sullivan. It took Dcmpsey over 61 battles, against the toughest of foes, to de velop his terrific attack. Gene Tunney needed years of pa tient development and 60 fights to bring, forth the ability that finally ended Dcmpsey's reign. ' ,' Even Jess Wlllnrd, ln a white hope era that knew few real heavy weights,' fought 30 times and beat such fellows as Arthur Pelky, Lu ther McCarthy, Gunboat Smith, Carl Morris, Boer Rodel and Al Williams beforo he was matched with the busiest of all the heavyweight ti tllsts, Jack Johnson. STARTED FROM TAW Schmcllng came here four years ago with almost no boxing ability, and nothing to hint of future ac complishment except unlimited en durance, tremendous courage, abili ty to take punishment, and a sharp, short right hand. Lack of experience, absolute in ability to cope with a boxer and piincher of Sharkey's ability that nighT. stuck out all over Schmel lug's offensive two years ago. But he made a laboratory of his exhibition tours, developing his box ing, his punching, until he was able to make a show of Young Strlbllng last summer. And when he met Sharkey for tho second time he wns un even more Improved wnrrlor. Now he will battle Mlckoy Walk er. King Levlnsky, or Max Baer some time this fall and with it should come even greater improve ment. Then he enn fight Ernie Schanf or Johnny Rlsko again, probably for the Garden ln Miami ln February. When next summer rolls around he will havo tho ex perience and polish ho still needs. Baby Python, Only 75 Years Old, Is Excitement Cause BALTIMORE.
