Poultry still higher. , .,. , Ksgs reach about top...-' lings weaker at price. Lion and Cordova coffee higher., :; Standard lard declines. ; Compound lard lower, . The prices on the medium-grade hops are again showing an advance with the "more spirited "demand from the brewers. The price today went, up to 22 cents nd quite 9 few transactions are reported at tills figure. The. growers are holding their extra fancy hops at 25 cents and, although just now there are no sales ' reported in that grade, the market shows every Indication of a faster nlovement after the, turn of the year. Very poor grade hops are unchanged in price. -.

Never in the history of the local gg markets has the price of cold storage stocks- reached . such a height as they do today. Dealers along the street scratch their neais and vainly wonder when all this advance in the egg mar ket is going to stop. The receipts Of the strictly choice Oregon eggs at this time are practically enough to supply an ordlnary-oountry village. 14 alone a city with 150,000 population. Dealers who are forced to buy the choicest goods make) a. strenuous protest against every advance in the price and the last two changes simply made them raise' their hands in horror of such a. move. Prac tically all of the eggs now in use In this market are from the cold storage inatl tutlons. ! Fresh egg' are practically out of the market and this Is the only rea son why dealers are enabled to get 30 cents a doxen for cold storage. Even the eastern eggs at . this time are-not Btrlctly fresh, - Hogs Weaker at Price. " The hog market Is beglnnlng.to show considerable weakness along the street and it is very hard now to clean up all arrivals nt the top price. t cents. Most of the sales made today were at the -cent morVand this price Is likely to be the mlmg one hereafter. Ther is a dearth of veal of all kinds In the mar ket today and all grades are bringing the very top of the market Beef and mutton remain dull with prices un changed, v ' :' " Package Coffee Advanced. As has been exclusively predicted' in The Journal during the past week there was every indication of an early advance In the prices on package coffees." . Today the manufacturers of Arbuckle and Cor dova brands announced a rise of 60 cents a hundred 4n their former lists. Lion coffee lias not yet been moved upward, but it will In all probability follow the lead(of the two which -went up today. The new quotations' on package coffees range from $12.75 to $13.26 a hundred pounds. Just at this time there Is great utrengtli being shown In the various grades of coffee and no reaction Is ex pected Just now in the prices. - ; Xettls-Beaderea Xrd Sows. The Union Meat company today an nounced, a decline of U-iCent a pound in tho former lists on steam-rendered lard. The( new prices are: 10s, 10c; 6s. 10 Kc; 50s. 9c. The same concern announces u decline of about cents in the former quotations on? compound lard. . Butts, smoked and unsmoked. are down I pent pound." Eastern lard and hams are . unchanged-today, v s Opinions os the Market. Glafke company: There are now some fancy Spltzenberg apples In the market, but demand is rather slow. The reason for Jthls Is hard , to explain be cause the market this season 4s not near, ly so badly .stocked with apples aa It Turner St Co.: . Poultry Is cleaning no m i e journal prices; tne market has a . good. firm, feeling. --. Bell & Co.: Car of sweet potatoes ar rived in today and is selling at usual price. ; ; (. ,v, j, v,. ... . ,- Chatterton & Co.: Cabbage'and onions are moving oft fairly well; potatoes are also moving. ' Malarkey & Co.: Halibut market Is weaker, with the receipts larger. Davenport,, Thompson & Co.: An other car of bananas is due tomorrow. ft.. Jaggar: Potato market is rather dull. , 1 Kverdlng A Farrclt: Hog market Is weaker; veal is scarcer and higher. Page & Sons: Poultry market is very firm, with the receipts too small to sup ply the. demand. . Storage eggs are sell ing today higher than for many previous . . years. . i McKlnley Mitchell: Medium-grade hops are in larger demand and .are higher. The potato and onion market is quite weak in San Francisco. Toft, Hine A Co.: Receipts of chick ens, small Veal and hoa-a am nnt un in the demand; even large veal will nof .mi .uauix renuy sale; Heavy hogs in large receipt, but experience no trouble in finding buyers; ranch eggs are scarcer than they have ever been with us and fancy prices can be looked for. , KisUtftoe ta Market Mistletoe is beginning to arrive in larger supplies for the holidays, but as yet there Is practically no demand. Prices range aboutHhe 10-cenU-a-pound mark. . The California steamer arrived fn last right. and brought a falr-slsed assorted cargo of oranges and vegetables.

Before the movement ends It would' not be surprising ti see all be options pass and exceed 12c, when It might do to buy sgain for a tnrn. At present the spot demand is slsck everywhere and thore la little confidence ia the recent report estimate and trade conditions so unsatisfactory that spinners bave been willing to follow the recent advance, but have been more disposed to bold out of the market for some decline. There waa so' much speculative buying in New Orleans rtid here during the recent excitement by outside speculators, until conditions chango or receipts fall off or a better demand for spot cotton 'develops, we' would advlae caution en tho long side.

They involve: the scientific application of every curative Influence known to be helpful-ln the treatment of men's .diseases; Our ofllces. aro an- exposition of ; delicate'' and coBtly equipment, tnuch of which is especially constructed to meet the requirements 4f our distinc tive methods ' of treatment, " "We have hesitated at no expense that could add to the efllolency of our, patients. .

That -disorder commonly known as "weakness" has lor years and generations baffled the efforts of physicians, yet to this day a ma jority of doctors, specialists not excepted, are attempting to over c6me it by methods that have been In constant use and have constantly failed tor, half a cen tury. They dose the system with powerful stimulants and tonics calculated to restore nervous force or strength that la not nor never has been lacking, with the result that the functions are tem porarily excited, to he. positive detriment of the patient. "Wcak-nesa,'- - we will call it such for convenience's sake Just now Is only a symptom resulting from a chronically swollen and Inflamed prostate gland,-and Is -curable by -local -treatment only, -Either early dissipation ' or - some improperly treated contracted dlseiaBe is re-x sponsible . for. the- Inflammation. In most Instances, though, acci dental injury, strain, etc, may produce the same result. We nave permanently cured thou sands of cases of prematurnnens, loss of power, 'etc., - without the? giving 01 a single - internal dose; which demonstrates vtha absolute accuracy of our undertandlng and treatment, of ' this disorder. Jn years we have not met with a single failure, and we have entire confidence in our ability to cure all cases that , come to us for treatment. 1 : 1 Stricture , Our treatment of, stricture. Is entirely Independent of surgery. A complete cure is accomplished without cutting or dilating. All growths or obstructions in tho urinary passage are dissolved, the membranes cleansed, and all Irritations or congestion removed, through the organs involved. Specific Blood Poison We cure this leprous disease completely. The system Is thor oughly cleanaed and every poison ous taint 'removed. Th last symptom vanishes to appear no more, and, all is accomplished by the use of harmless, blood-cleansing remedies. Do not submit to the dangerous mineral dosing commonly Indulged in. Such treatment merely obscures- tho symptoms. . , , Contracted Disorders Every contracted 'disease is at- f enda b v "ar a vc d angersthar nothing less than a thorough and absolute cure can remove. - To take even the slightest chance in such cases -is to Invite lifelong misery.- Men do not realize thin as they should. A partial cure is followed by a chronic stage with all Its horrors, .the same - as though the disease had not been treated at all. We positively will not dlamlss a patient until every ; possibility ef a relapse is . re moved. By our system of treat rnent every patient- Is soundly cured and made as free from din ease taint as he was before the aliment was contracted. j PILES Quick Cures. Certain Cures. We cure the worst cases of piles permanently without the use of ointments, without pain, "cutting or detention from business, In from two to three treatments. Our treatment is entirely new and peculiar to ourselves. Remember, no matter who has failed before In your case, we will cure you with mild methods, and without danger, er else make no charge whatever for our services. Should' you live at a distance, we can treat you successfully at home. ' . WE Aa AX.WATS Wl& IHO , TO WAIT TOR OVB XEB UVTII. A CUBB .18 srrscTXD. Xnatrnetlra ' Book Mailed Free., mi I.
