GRAIN MARKET
DULL LOCALLY
FLOUR MILL QUOTES NO PRICES
TO GROWERS DURING
BANK HOLIDAYS.
Farmers In Clackamas County Who
Took Advantage of Recent Dry
Spell Find Grain Benefited
By Heavy Rains.
The local grain market is still
somewhat dull, as the flour mill is
not quoting prices on grain during
the holidays, nor is it huying grain,
and many of the farmers who have
brought their grain here to dispose
of have left their product at the mill
. and will wait for the holidays to end
before getting the prices for same,
but tie commission house in the city
is quoting prices, which are about
the same as that quoted last week.
The Oregon City onion market is
strong at prices quoted and good
stock is in ready demand.
The condition of the potato market
remains unchanged.
Bleached celery is wanted at from
60 cents to $1 per dozen bunches. The
celery that Is now being sold at the
grocery stores in this city is excel
lent and is readily disposed of.
. Clear stock evaporated and bleach
ed apples are wanted at fair prices
and are enumerated in the list below.
. Eggs are coming in more freely,
but still strong at quotations.
Butter remains the same ranch,
60 cents, and creamery, 65 cents.
Many of the farmers throughout
the county are plowing 'on high
-ground, but the present rains pre
vent them from doing much farm
work. In many sections the farmers
took advantage of the long dry spell
and finished their plowing and seed'
ing before the late rains set in, and
In this case the grain sown will be
ereatly benefited by the rains.

buying from us.
Buying and keeping perfume is al
most a business of itself. After
years of experience we believe we've
gotten it down almost to a science.
Each perfumer has two or three
special odors which are better than
any ordinary kind, because they
spend lots of time and money devel
oping something especially good.
We buy these special odors from each
leading perfumer. They come
from France, England, Germany
and America, and are each one the
best of its kind. We keep the goods
right in a case made specially for
this purpose and you can depend on
getting full strength perfume when
Fancy bottles from 25 cents to $10.
We have too many
ladies' puries and bags
this year; in our efforts
to get everything new in
the market we over
reached a little and
therefore are making
special prices until our
stock is down to normal.
Everyone nearly knows
that our prices on leather
goods are way below the average anyhow and when we tell
you they have been cut auother 15 or 20 per cent you may
be sure of some good bargains.
