Tha call waa ror the rholceat grade or tn 1H02 crop, and urlcnn averaged about 1 cents a pound. One of the larger local dealers mIi) thla morning that ha eav pected an order from the Eat tomorrow - for a large supply at 20 centa. "llops are nrm." aald McKlnley Mitch til. "and the market has an upward ten Uency. - I expect condition to Improve ateadlly and higher prices to prevail within the neat few weeka.' Potatoes Again Waaiar. The potato market haa gone to plecea In the South and prlcea are again on the downward move. Thla condition due to: the. continued increased aurplua In the Bnn Franclaeo and Arizona mar kets and aa the present season ror laat last year's stock will cloae tn about two weeks, there la not much hope of any Improvement In prlcea during that period.. Onlona are showing better and stead ier tone with prlcea slightly advanced In the California markets. Local quota tlons remain at yesterday's figures, had la Plasty. Shad from tha Columbia River ar ar riving In large aupplles and pricea ara down today. The fish ara in all alsea, ranging from M to i pounda in weight Salmon ahowa increased scarcity, al though then Is .still sufficient stock. ar riving to. supply local demanda at cur rent quotations. Ling cod axa quoted lower. Banana a ara Soaroer. The shipmenta of bananas Into tha lo cal markets ara not nearly sufficient to meet the demand, and aa a consequence there la a lively scramble among retail ors to get supplies. Prices range from 6 centa a pound for the city ordera to 6 H centa for tha country trade.. Tb ad vance of to -cent for the country ordera Is for crating. No stock was received from the South today, but two cars of orangea are due tonight Prices are the same. Kany Eggs Arrlr. Receipts of egga today were extra large, and as a consequence the market Is shpwing considerable weakness on sccotint of the slacker demand. The stock now arriving Is not of the best quality, a majority of it not being fit for cold storage purposes. Dealers now are compelled to sell their receipts, and today'a quotations range from 17 to 17 cents, with many sales being made at the former figure. If receipts continue at the present rate, there la no doubt that the market will show a sharp de cline within the next few days. Soma orders are being received from the Sound and Alaska, but they are not of sufficient tae to Influence local quotations; Butter Stocking XTp. Butter stock is arriving in . larger supply' and dealers are experiencing con siderable difficulty in keeping their atock clear. Some stock la being rushed Into cold storage. Prioea range today from 17 cents for tha second grade creamer tea to 20 cents for the first clasa atock. Peed Market Easier. The feed market Is easier on account of the opening of the Portland Flouring Mills Company's plant at Albina. Deal ers ara new filling some of their ordera, but it will take aorao time before 'they ara all cleaned up. . Wheat is Weaker. Both Walla Walla and Bluestem wheat are weaker with few sales reported.' Val ley la In fair demand with no -changes in demand is quiet and the market la showing considerable weakness. The market baa a downward tendency, but no changes occurred today. tittle Xeac Arriving. Tha fresh meat markets on Front Street are quiet with very little stock of any kind arriving. The demand, bow ver. la not great, and even the small amount Of atock arriving Is not disposed of without trouble. No quotation enangea. Xrfwka XdJt Salt Advaaoa. The aalt market is stronger with every tendency for an early advance on all re nnea graaes. une stocks are now con trolled by tb combines and many retail era are buying large stocks in. antlclpa tlon of an expected advance. Sugar is selling well In the country and xne market la rainy strong. Business Palls Off. Prominent wholesale men eay that the business on the street has fallen off at least one-third for thes city trade since the beginning of 'the labor dis putes. Country orders are lively and this makes up somewhat for the defi ciency in. the city trade. , Strawberries are in small receipt, but aa the stock Is not first class, prices are down 2S cents a crate' today. Chickens are entirely " cleaned up and the demand ia still strong. Receipts are quite liberal, but are not too plentiful. - Pedro Tobacco Advanced. Pedro tobacco 'is advanced 1 cent a pound.

Tha Chronlcla aay: CHICAGO. May 6. The Record-Herald says: The shorts In May pork found the price at $1 yesterday morn ing, or up ii cents from Saturday. Some private aaittlemefits' of short Uea were made. With lesa than 10,000 barrel of pork here, It Is not necessary" that any body ahouid have much of a line to have the market in perfect control. Cudahy presumably naa the May bought, which he took a good while ago. when it was considerably lowr."N Pork could be made for May delivery now and whatever . Increase . In storka accumulate" now, -must be from the pork from outside points.'' Pork Could be made now for July and September, bnt In fact no prk IA being made, because it pays so min h better to snake tke ribs. A good while ago a line of September, October and December pork was fold by somebody through Counselman about 30,000 barrel at $14. T:ie September Is around $16. to. and the Uuccmber la offered at $16. The feature of the pork situation Is that there Is! no incentive for any of the packer to make It. with rttar paying so much better. The man who sells pork feels the loss of thoxe old-faHhloncd hams, which UHed to make pork, ribs and lard whether or no, be cause they had very little distributing trade. "All the exporter at the seaboard." says David A. isoye. who was back from a trip to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, "are bulllxhly Inclined on the wheat market. They say their nawa Indicate poor crop condition on the continent and their correspondent ad vise them the t-xport requirement by Europe will bo large."' The ohlo May crup wired here by the 'King of Toledo," showed the winter wheat condition in that atate at Hi! per cent, compared with 6 per cent In April and 71 per cent last year. Two per cent of the decline nai the rpnult of the freeslng weather. The crop Is estimated at SMOO.000 buahels. or the same nx last year.

The term of Paymaster-General Kenrry "of the Navy expired today and he was placed on the retired list on account of age. His suc cessor will not be chosen until the Presi dent returns in June, but already there, is a lively scramble for the place. The action. almost without precedent of the Pennsylvania Legislature in recommend ing the appointment of Pay Director James N. Speel of that stats la believed by prominent officers of the department to militate against rather than to pro mote the chanoe for that officer to se cure the coveted honor. Pay Director Hobbs, Harris and Boggs, and Pay In spectora McDonald and Mudd are the men now most prominently mentioned for the succession. The detail is for four year, and as Directors Hobbs and Harris have only two years to serve be fore reaching the retiring age they may be passed over for a younger man. .
