FRIDAY. MARCH 27. 1903. HOGS SOLD FOR 6' ¿ CENTS THE PAST WEEK. Eggs Very Plentiful—Potatoes Com ing in to Market in Large Quanti ties—Hides Are Lower. Only five or six hundred sheep pelts have been sold to local buyers during the past week. Many of them are of ewes lost during lambing. While very few beef hides are offer ed in the market now. yet the price is off 2 cents per pound for the rea son that the quality of the offerings is uniformly very poor. Scarcely a hide is offered that is not grubby. The local buyers stand ready to pay all the way from $15 to $30 for fiist-class bear skins, according to the size and the care taken of them between kill ing and marketing. The expiration of the time limit on fish catching will soon put fresh sal mon on the market. There have been during the past week live hogs sold for 6% cents per pound, and 8 cents has been paid for dressed hogs, but these figures were paid simply be cause pork could not be had for any i less figure, and the retailers declare that at that price to the farmer they must necessarily sell at cost. Eggs are more plentiful as the sea son advances and are off 2% cents per dozen. The farmers have begun to unload their over-winter stocks of potatoes in such quantities that the price has fallen to 60 and 70 cents per bushel. Lettuce .green onions, radishes and cauliflower are more plentiful than is usual at this season. Large quanti ties have reached this market during the past few days from the Willam ette valley.

The Wheat Trade. Portland. March 26.—The wheat market during the past month has been inactive and very little wheat has passed into exporters’ uands; millers have purchased sparingly and only when prices confirmed their ideas as to the value of the same. Wheat remaining unsold in the country is not offered freely at pres ent prices as exporters took off a slice of their limits and now offer for club 72©73c; blue stem. 85c; valley. 79c per bushel. Spring seeding is go ing on quite actively and from many districts reports say farmers are through. Fall grain has stood the winter fine and looks as if the grain is in good condition. San Francisco, March 26.—Cash wheat in this market remains un changed. Shippers are backward in buying and trading is generally inac tive. The export of grain is very- light. the disengaged tonnage in port here continnes to accumulate and is now very large, shippers claim that the present price of wheat is too high to admit much trade in the export line. Large receipts of wheat are coming from Portland and with stocks at Port Costa, shippers are enabled to fill chartered tonnage require ments. We quote No. 1 shipping. 31.40 to $1.45 per cental; milling. $1.80 to $1.57. STUBBLEFIELD WILL. I* Admitted to Probate Today—Part of the Estate I* in Umatilla Coun ty- R. M .Dorothy. E. A. Reser and C. M Rader, of Walla Walla, the trus tees and executors of the famous Stubblefield estate, are in the city to day to have the Stubblefield will ad mitted to probate, as a |>ortion of tbe estate, a 50-acre farm, lies in this county, just inside tbe state line, and about 60 miles southeast of Walla Walla. The trustees state that Mrs. Stub blefield has relinquished her claims to any further interest in the estate than those secured by the original will, which gave her $6,00o. The en tire amount willed by Mr. Stubble field to personal legatees amounted to $28.000, out of a total appraised valuation of $182.000. All the balance is to be devoted to the building ahd maintenance of a home for minor or phans and aged widows, residents of both the states of Oregon and Wash ington. The condition is set forth that both classes of applicants for the privileges of the home shall be both dependent and worthy. The home may be locat ed in either state, at any town which shall raise a fund of $lft.0ftft to start the enterprise going. PROFITABLE READING. Will be Found in the April Shower of Bargain* Presented by the Peoples Warehouse. The spring season is opened by the Peoples Warehouse with an “April Shower of Bargains.” which offers an opportunity to get seasonable, up-to- date goods at prices that make it a great inducement to buy at this great sale. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof, and tbe proof of the great bargains offered is to call and take advantage of the big cuts made in the prices. The Peoples Warehouse has gained a firm standing in the mind* of the public for its straight, forward business methods and for living up to tile letter Io its advertise ments.
