MEATS Little improvement in situ
ation. CASCARA Slump in buying prices.
The question of falsely labeled salmon,
whloh has several times agitated the cannery
men of this state, is now working up the can
nera of British Columbia, as well aa the trade
of Auetralle. Mr. Rons, Canada's commercial
exeat in Australia, writing to the department
at Ottawa on the subject, maid:
The proposed action of the Vancouver and
New "Westminster Boards of Trade In refer
ence to salmon labels has caused a good deal
of oamment locally. Some of the cannera con
tor that the term "Skeena Rlx-er" should
be uned and recognized only as a description
of the standard of quality and not any partic
ular river.
The Vancouver Cannera Association aeserts
that for several years, especially of late, in
ferior fish had been sent to Australia in large
and email lot? under Skeena River labels.
These labels were owned in Australia and
other places outside of British Columbia, and
the wee of them was detrimental to the busi
new done by . those who supplied genuine
flkeena River flrti. ,
One thing is certain: Australia does net
"t Inferior fish palmed oft on consumers as
prime, and hence if assistance can be given
the "Western Beards of Trade In their endeav
ors to remedy this; it will be greatly appre
ciate In AHstraHa.
POULTRY MAT DO BETTER.
Dealers Believe the Bottom of Market Has
Been Reached.
The -wt of the poultry demoralization is
probably .over. Dealers believe that bottom
jarlces have been reached, and that a recovery
wm now set in. Yesterday's receipts showed
& decrease, and it is evident that the country
as been pretty well cleaned up. Prices
have been hard to quote during the week, as
niy dealers were forced to cut in order to get
rid of their accumulation. Others held firmer,
and wore enabled to work off their stocks on
bargain hunters who were attracted by the
news of the slump. The big retailers, how
ever, only bought at the lowest prlcce.
The weekly price current of a leading Front
enreet house says:
Market on all kinds of chickens dropped, a
little lower this week, but we are sure that
tfcey will not go any lower. Our receipts have
wn very heavy the last few days, and we
Taave sold at below quotations. Geese, tur
kors and -ducks are holding firm at quotations.
There has been no change In the e market
tfaf week. Seme dealers report an Increase
In receipts of fresh eggs. The demand con
Unties native
Bvtter and cheese are firm at quotations.
The lauer has an advancing tendenoy.
ORANGES AT THE ADVANCE.
Car of Valencia Arrives. Also Cantaloupes
and Cosnbas.
A ear of medium-size Valencia oranges ar
rived yt Mersey, the first on the new ad
vance. A oar of Yakima cantaloupes was re
ceived, out buyers did not take hold as read
ily as oxpeoted. A car of casabaa came in
from Q rant's Pare.
Peaches moved off lively at firm prices.
The onalKy of the fruit is showing Improve
ment, and K. is easier to obtain full , quota
tions. Arrivals from Southern Oregon were
pot heavy. Plenty of grapes were on hand
yesterday, and they moved off readily.
BARK. MARKET GOES TO PIECES.
No Eastern Demand Now for Cascara at
Any Price.
The market for Cascara bark has gone en
tirely to pieces, and buyers now do not quote
over S cents. A leading dealer yesterday said
there had not been an Inquiry for a single
pound from the East this year, and that he
cosM buy easier now at 3 cents than he could
some time age at 4H cents. Consumers are
Sited p. and tsome of them have stock
enough oa Jhand to last them for several
years. Peelers, unable to sell here, have
been trying to place their wares In the East,
-which has led manufacturers to believe that
this country is full of bark.
No Changes In Meats.
The market for dressed meats does not show
much change. Hega are none too firm, aa,
aside from small fancy blocks, 'there' is no de
ssand for them. Tnere in a healthy inquiry
for fancy small veal. Mutton and beef are
duU.

NEW YORK MAIUvET SHOWS
GOOD RESISTING POWER.
Special Strength Shown by tho Pa
cifies - Forecast of Week's
Currency Movement,
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. For the greater part
of the time today prices In the stock market
wavered and hetdtated In the same uncertain
manner as -wax the case yesterday. But the
active buying movement of the first hour
had established a level of prices well above
those of yesterday, and It was at about this
level that the day's fluctuations occurred. The
bear element was Impressed apparently by
the evidence of restatance in the market and
by some large buying that was attributed to
large banking and financial Interests for the
purpose of supporting prices. London also
bought largely during the activity of the first
hour. London itself was 'not conspicuously
cheerful and was under the influence of yes
terday's advance In the bank rate. Private
discount there made additional advances and
the absorption of gold by Paris continued un
abated, while further cngagementa were made
for shipment to -South America. ''Some relief
was caused In purely speculative quarters by
the failure to appear of the day's stock mar
ket disaster which was foretold In some highly
sensational predictions of an active profeeedon
si operator.
Special ire&f& was j&DTrxix, CaraiJIta Pa
cta . Union Pacific and Southern Pacific- Ex
planation was found In the strong report of
the flrsc named and In the handsome Increases
In net earnings for July by the two latter
roads. Reading also showed- greater strength
than the average of tho list. Otherwise gains
were uniform, and did not vary far from a
point.
Money rates were stiffly held and the fore
cast of tb currency movement for the week
indicated the expected heavy decline in cah
reserves by the banks. But It was Inferred
from the absence of flurry in the call money
market that the supply of cash was fully
abreast .of money market needs. The esti
mates of the currency movement covers Ave
daya and Includes a k In sub-Treasury
operations of $4,363,000. On the direct move
ment by express, the banks have continued
to lose and it is believed that the drain has
been sufficient to bring the total loss in cash
to considerably over $7,000,000, which would
be more than sufficient to wipe out the sur
plus aa t etood last week without a reduc
tion In the reecrve requirements which would
conserve the surplus. Reduction of deposits
by loan contraction on a large scale Is con
fidently expected, however, as a feature of
tomorrow's bank statement,
A brisk rally In the price of copper in the
London market was a help to Amalgamated
Copper here. A good eSect was produced also
by the report of a settlement of the freight
rate dispute as between the Gulf and Atlantic
port railroads. The absence of any renewed
selling pressure on the market encouraged
some fresh buying late In the day, and the
closing was strong at the top level.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value,
$2,735,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.
