THE COMMERCIAL aoscs Large Receipts in Loca Markets Wire Nails Make Another 10 Ccn Advance-Eggs Again oq - - Downward Grade. ' The approaching- end of the salmon flatting iNion cms to bar a. tendency te cause an extra large run of fish. Re- celpu today In thla city of both Chinook ' and Steelbead salmon ware enormous, considering the condition of the market up to tho present week. Today's re- celpts of the various grades will amount to about 40 boxes or about 11.000 pounds. This condition is remarkable, when It is Nhnwr th vp to tnis ttmr no itip ply Has bn barely sufficient to meet tb requirements of the cold storage en. The season will close promptly at midnight Saturday evening. Enough flsh were put In cold storage to supply all wants during the closed period at ordi nary prices. Quotations on the fresh variety are unchanged from yesterday's prices. Smelt are not in such great receipt as they have been, but there is still too much fish coming to. supply the market. People do not care for the flsh after they become so cheap and as a cones cuence the market is glutted. Flsh men say that they will be perfectly sat , laflea when the run is over. Wire VaQs Advaaoe tarn Cents. i ' An advance of about 10 cents a keg I was mad lata yesterday afternoon in " the pries of tho various sixes of wire balls. The rise tuxes effect at once. ' . The produce market Is fairly well sup- ' plied with fresh vegetables of all kinds. I This morning a ear of mixed .vegetables. a car of sweet potatoes and a car of ' oranges arrived and were afterward die- '- tributed among (tbs Front-street Jobbers. ' V Turner oa Sgg Situation. W. T. Turner Co. says: "The price Jof .eggs Is bound to decline on account 'of the extra heavy receipts that have coma Into the local markets within the ..past week. The present indications are ' that prices will go down within the next week until they reach 17 1-S and possibly ' . . IS cents. San Francisco jobbers are of . ferine eggs to Seattle merchants at II ' cents tab. Ban Francisco, and with : their cheap rates by water tbey are en , abled to keep the local men out of ths . Northern market. They how control the Victoria market, which formerly went . to the merchants of this territory. Cheaper water rates are the cause. I 4 don't think that If ths price of eggs (went down to 10 cents the local population would consume the roduct of this locality. It is yet too early to put eggs in cold storage, and there la no possible power that can stop the price of eggs from declining except a change . of weather and a falling off in receipts." Poultry Market Weaker. The poultry market is considerably weaker today on account of the too lib eral supply. Every dealer on Front Street Is well stocked with all kinds of poultry, and the market is dragging. It Is expected that prices will be shaved lightly toward the end of the week. . Better Supply of Pork. Pork receipts were much more liberal today than they have been for the past week. The demand Is excellent and ev s erything is easily cleaned up at top Quotations. Beef receipts are plentiful, and all de mands are aallr sat Is fled. Veal is pien tlful and mutton is arriving in limited ouantltv. but is sufficient to. meet all re- auirements of the trade. Generally, the . meat market is considered weaker, alley Wheat Being- Offered. According to a prominent mill man. there is plenty of VaUey wheat remaln- - Ins: in the ' hands of the farmers, ana they are now offering their stocks for ale. The quotations asxea lor are, now ever, so much higher than the printed price that very little buying is being dona Other grades or wneai are quiei. Flour Quoted stiff. Ths various grades and brands of flour In the local markets are quoted stiff to dav at yesterday's quotations. Sales are manv. and the market shows a heal thy condition with a possible upward tendency. - Ths Sugar Situation. Surar Is verv aulet according to a representative of one of the large East ern refineries. Retailers are not Duy Ins: any more stocks than they can dls pose of within a few days. The price Is up one day in New York and the next day it is down again. Dealers are wary and do not Intend to get caught.

"On the other hand the farmer has his share of these troubles. He com plains that as there are no packing plants he cannot afford to devote time and energy toward growing hogs. There is no market for them." "But is there not some way in . which this could be remedied T" was asked. Mr. Kiddle thought there was and proceeded to detail his plan. 'The proper way to go about this," he said, "would be for those having suffl clent capital to put In the plant to make a tour or send out letters to farmers. thus ascertaining Just how many hogs would be produced in the event the establishment was put into running order. This would afford sufficient basis for each side to build upon.

"I have fed bogs on everything that will fatten them and have kept accurate account of the returns brought through this means. I know these figures to be correct." The Profit on Hogs. Mr. Kiddle then showed that when wheat was worth 60 cents per bushel and therefore 1 cent per pound. It would yield returns of approximately 90 cents per bushel, when fed to hogs. "The pork mafket is seldom if ever less than 6 cents per pound, said Mr. Kiddle, "and four pounds of wheat will muke one pound of pork. If 4 cents worth of wheat make a pound of pork worth 8 cents, then there Is an advance of 2 cents on 4, which carried out pro portionately means 90 cents per bushel When Washington and Oregon farmers are talked to of 90-cent wheat they laugh. and If they get 90 cents for their crops they consider themselves very fortu nate. But, according to Mr. Kiddle, It is possible for them to secure that price at all times. "Washington and Oregon are better, so far as general conditions are concerned, for hog-growing than any other sections of the Union," he said, "and It will take a meat-packing establishment at Portland to bring this fact Into due prominence. Last fall I shipped 700 head of hogs East. The pork derived from them is now com ing DacK to tne i-bciuu wuuoi aiaica in n , , ,,,., air t bacon and hams. This Is not right.

Hogs can be turned loose on stubble and will get their growth without being fed, but when it comes to preparing them for the market they must be fed on wheat. The fence problem is a serious one in this country. Few farmers have hog-proof fendfes, but theso could be provided and would be In the event a packing house was assured. Mr. Kiddle does not believe the North west has any great future in beef raising, the proper food for beef fatten ing being cheaper In the Middle Western states than here. grain or other articles of freight across the line and handle them with any de gree of profit." Just at the present time the Grand Trunk Is pressing home a claim against the British Columbia government for 20,000 acres of land per mile for 400 miles as a return for opening the same to commerce and to assist In defraying the expenses of constructing the road. The only apparent hitch Is that the Dominion government has not as yet agreed to the terms of the company which are from 3,200 to 6,400 .per mile as bonus In cash. Must Eave Help. In Manitoba it Is impossible to donate land, and money will be given. Ontario, It la expected, will come to the front with 10 per cent of the 30.000,000 acres to be affected, and in Quebec the same proportion of 70.000. 000 will be given. When the work of construction starts in the spring It will be from three points simultaneously. Port Simpson, Norway House and Lake St. John. E. O.

Portland General Electric Company SEVENTH AND ALDER STREETS WANTS TO COME TO OREGON Western Journey. THE ALLIANCE HAS ARRIVED Steamer Presents Fine Appearance After Being Rebuilt. The steamer Alliance arrived from San Francisco last evening with a large cargo of general merchandise. Those who saw the vessel this morning hardly recognized the old Alliance, which for the past six weeks has been under going repairs at San Francisco. Captain E. N. Hard wick Is still In com mand, and It has been under his super vision that the hull changes have been made. Principal among them was the raising up of the bow, bringing the steer age and forecastle up to the level of the main deck and giving lighter and better quarters to these places. A cosy social hall has also been made, opening from each side and extending the full width of the house. The engineers' quarters, formerly on the main deck, have been put on the UDDer deck, lust above the mainmast and handy to the en gine room. Four state rooms have also been built on the upper deck, as well as a smoking room. These additions make her much more comfortable for passengers. In the engine . department many Changes have also been made. She now uses crude oil for fuel, making her very much cleaner and handier. The system used is steam atomising, that Is, instead of compressed air, direct steam is used to spray or atomise the oil. She carries oil sufficient for twelve days' steaming. On the run from San Francisco no effort was made to rush, as all parts are particularly' new. and -until -everything is tried out and found just right Captain Hardwlck does not approve of too, niuch hurry. . Another specimen of the brilliancy of phonetic spelling by the uneducated Is the following letter received from a resident of Caribou, Maine, by the Board of Trade: "Please write tne how mtych it wood cost me' to go to Ore, and take my faml lee myself and wife 3 Boyfes age 11-5-6 and how much frait I cood" Bring also what Place you adwice me to go. Hear I am alrite but In Ore I would be bet ter as In my openyen it Is a grait "ciun trl Kindly anser me my letter, as I want to cum this spring." This is only a specimen of some of the letters, which come to the lot of Secretary Shillock to decipher. Recent ly he received a letter from an anxious would-be settler requesting him' to go to 'Ell and look over the situation as he Wishes to locate there. The place meant by the over anxious Immigrant was Ps Ell, Wash. C.
