Front Street, Dec. 21. Vhe principal
r Items of Interest In the local market
today were:
. Provision prices lower.
1-ocal lard oil cent.
Eggs down again. -. , . ' -Poultry,,
not moving., a :,. ; "
' ; "' Provisions Ar Xiowtr. ' -- (
v; .The Union Meat company announces
, several changes in the local prices of
provisions. Breakfast bacon is quoted
, about ft cent lower, while regular short
.clears, -clear backs, smoked and un
; smoked,' are quoted cents a pound
lower..-Both kettle leaf and steam ren
dered lard of local manufacture are 4
cent lo wr. todays Th: newt price 'list
-; takes effect at ence. - '
Eggs Tumble Again. -As
was exclusively predicted In The
'Journal on Saturday the price' on fresh
' Oregon eggs went down today. This
morning found the market weaker than
: on Saturday and everywhere could be seen
stocks of eggs that refused to be sold.
. Although the receipts of eggs in this
market at present are not very large still
; the present high price Is causing the
A ftmtt Tf vrt Ha anll ami! at a nnn a art ttns-i
the few arrivals are hard to sell. Today
' the price went down to 82 cents
. dosen flat and still the market remained
; quiet Some of the dealers on the street
expect the price to go down to the 30
cent mark within the next few days. .
"!''Sv:i' Xa th Poultry Market
There were no very heavy arrivals in
the poultry mti ket today but the market
is still badly overloaded with the large"
receipts, of Friday and Saturday. In the
Cleanup on Saturday aome mixed chick
ens were told as low as 8 cents a
pound but the average sales were made
at 9 cents. The call for straight hens Is
now off. the dealers preferring to buy the
mixed stock at the-lower price. The
receipts of dressed poultry are beginning
to pile up larger but there seems to be a
fairly healthy demand. Some turkeys
are arriving and are being sold all the
way froth 19 to 20 cents for the dressed
stocks. No live birds came In today but
as yet none are wanted. The future of
the turkey market remains a mystery
and will probably remain up until af
"ter" Christmas. Larger receipts will
have a disastrous effect and the present
same price as on Thanksgiving.
Botiing Doing la Potatoes.
: There is absolutely nothing doing in
the potato market as far as shipping de
mand Is concerned but in, the local mar
ket , the demand for nearly all grades
seema to be slightly Improved. Today's
reports from San Francisco say that
the market there has no signs of an -advance
and none are expected until after
the holidays if then. The onion mar
ket remains .the sajne nothing but dull
ness, u. Prices lit both lines are un'
changed. ' . ' - .- ' ,- '.
ZATge Hop Sal Beported.
- The first large hop sale of fancy hops
for several months was reported on Sat
urday up the Valley. It was that of
Patterson Bros. of Olequa to Tacoma
parties. 668 bales of fancy hops at 23 4
cents a pound. The sales of the medium
grades continue quite large with prices
ruling today from H to 20 cents.
Batter Still Sail. '
The creamery butter market remains'
dull, with every prospect of Its continu
ance for some time. The Front-street
: houses are still piled high with the bet
ter grades, snd the-movement is really
nominal. Store and dairy grades con
tinue to come in an oversupply and the
price Is weaker. v ,
V ' Wheat Is Offering. .
More wheat is now being offered than
for several months, but the sales report
ed are small. The prices now being
asked by the farmer holders are slightly
, above those ruling, and the miller do
: not seem to care to take hold. Up the
valley some of, the interior millers are
paying a small premium for Immediate
delivery, but beyond thla the market re
mains at quotations.

BROKERS-OPINIONS
ON NEW YORK-StOCKS
I-ogan A Bryan,: New York: London
was a large seller of stocks, being itt
fluenced, no doubt, byt the -Japaneae-HuHalan
artalr. We regard the lattter
as the most serious menace to the mar
ket that is apparent. Call money is
easy and seems likely to continue o.
Bo far-as domeatie eondltlons are-po
eerned, we see nothing to make any
great selling pressure, DUt as to .What
the eastern political situation may do
is to us a matter of doubt. Pending de
velopments In that direction, we would
feci disposed to go slow. - v
. Mclntyre & Marshall, New York: The
continued weak .condition of stocks is
attracting attention, especially, as thejre
is an apparent absence of any- substan
tial support from Insiders. The weak
ness In united States Bteel preferred Is
partly traced to further . protlt-taking
and to leading Interests on the bear
side. The advance in the coal stocks
was largely speculative, and sham news
usually comes from manipulators. There
httxe been no developments to explain
the strength in Brooklyn Rapid Trair
sit, but 'rumors current say the stock
has been absorbed 'by parties close - to
Pennsylvania, and also oy some of the
Standard Oil people. Trade has become
dull and more professional today. We
look for a . dull and steady market.
Dick Bros., .New -York; The Btock
market' was dull snd .irregular today.
Pool manipulations of specialties was
continued against this, and some rother
good selling appeared in various stocks,
and the general tone was rather heavy.
United States Steel broke sharply at
the opening and failed to recover. The
rails ' equipments shares were pushed
up sharply, but- soon reacted. Pressed
steel was strong, but closed heavy;
Brooklyn Rapid Transit ran up on re
newed pool buying, but the move did
not last. Rock Island was under pres
sure, but held fairly well. The general
list did not make a great move. Money
is easy. The market closed, heavy in
tone. .: .

There seemed, - however, to be enough

The pit showed that Armour was trad
ing on both sides of the market Liv
erpool showed a fair rally at the close.
Argentine weather Js still reported un'
favorable - and the Japanese - Russian
situation is still very critical.'" There is
nothing In visible supply to Indicate
any Important w radical change in
condition. There was less talk about
export business: but on the whole re
suits are fully up " to expectations.
There la still a large scattered short
Interest, and , large concentrated hold'
Ings. After by week of gradually ad
vancing prices, some reaction . was not
improbable, we would buy wheat on any
fair break. The-world's shipments are
largely In excess of expectations, but
Russian and Indian and Danublaa re
ports shipments freely.
Cora Xaikat Lowar. -
The corn .market was about cent
lower, -, The , pressure seemed to . come
largely from local aborts. . Aside from
that, the previous conditions, are main
tained. The movement from flrat hands
continues small. Whjl the cash de
mand is not ait urgent one,' It la equal
to the supply. It Is not an active
market in a speculative way, but on the
prevailing conditions wa don't ea much
to create any persistent - selling pres
sure. We still feel that corn should
be bought on the breaks,
- Oata SapUoatw Cora Coadltloa.
Conditions In corn are about dupli

current operations to occasion comment.
After a considerable advance we may
see a reaction, but aa we ar inclined
to feel until the movement Increases
there will benothlng to contribute ma'
terlally to short selling, and would buy
on the break.

Kansaa City. Dec. tl. gtocamen A of
the Central West are urging that as
manv livestock men who ean.oosslbly do
so, should attend the convention of the
National Livestock association and uie
National Wool Growers' In Portland
next month. All of the livestock jour
nals are calling -upon the stockmen to
do something to save tha cattle In
dustry. A statement Issued by Secre
tary Martin of the National association
has been printed and discussed gener
ally. Mr. Martin says in tha last 18
months the manipulations of the pack
ing combination has cost the livestock
interests 1760,000,000. The huge sum
seems almost incredible, but the figures
bear Mr. Martin out In Kansas alone
in the last year the owners of cattle
have suffered a loss of 811,000,000.
Tbs Heavy Los la Xaasa.
The figures that are true of Kansas
are true of nearly- all the other state,
Secretary. Coburn of v the' Kansas atate
board of ' agriculture baa compiled
figures which bear Mr. Martin out. Mr.
Coburn's deductions are that tlhj value
of cattle In the state this year is 154,-
000,000 or 120 for each head., A year
aao tha, value wa 124 a head, mis
loss, when multiplied by th number of
cattle owned In tha state, makes u,
000.000. --. : .;.'.;-,. v-;
The Increase, of horses and mules in
the state, however, forms a remarkable
contrast. In tha last - year Kansas
horses have increased in number rapidly
and In value $12 each. The mules In the
state have increased in similar propor
tlon In number and in value $18 each.
The law of supply and demand regu
lates the horse and mule market, but
not so the livestock market.
To Frotact tha Industry.
, iWrAtarv Martin waa here last week
He says action will be taken requesting
congressional legislation. e say con
ditions throughout tha country make
it ahniiitiv neceaaarv that decisive ac
tion upon several Important subjects
shall be taken at tnis meeting ior me
protection of the livestock inausiry,
anna thm that the National associa
tion will ask th restriction of forest'
reserves to such lands aa are now or
recently have been forest lanas, ana
that such reaervea be confined to natural
water sheds, and to examine all reserves
and eliminate from the same we non-

The association will pass a resolution
against the packers' combination against
the growers. It will Bay that the con-
oatiiea I ft1r ff fits ckine? facilities on mod
ern lines Into the hands ot a few great
capitalist and Into a lew marae cen
ters has resulted In. almost, eliminating
that the oiilv remedy
1 for the atockmeft to combine and pro
vide competition by building independ
ent packing industries and encouraging
new markets. Vit
Legislation will be asked of the na
tional congress compelling the movement
of stock train at a minimum speed of
a niu. an hniir from loading point to
destination, exclusive of stops! to feed
and water, and tnat sucn trains snu
have the right of way over trains loaded
irv AmA freta-ht. The National Live
stock association will also memorial lee
congress to enact legislation conremng
upon th Interstate commerce commis
sion authority to determine upon full
hearing, under the provisions of the act
to regulate commerce, what change shall
be made in rate of practice found o be
discriminative or unreasonabls. Such
determination to be immediately oper
ative and to continue , until overruled
by tha court
Isrlgatdoa and Fatal lands. .
Congreas will b asked to appoint a
commission of flv. constating of one
cattU-grower. one sheep-grower, one ex
pert irrigations and two government
officials, to Investigate the arid and
eml-arld gracing landa west of the
tooth meridian, to make a SDeedv report
to congress with a view of amicably
settling th conditions now existing over
thia matter In the territory mentioned;
that the national congress should so
reend th laws affecting the public
lands as to repeal the stone, , desert land
and. lieu land acta, and tha commuta
tion clause of th homestead act, and
that tha latter ebouid b ajnndd
ta allow a citisen to take up at least one
section of arid or non-irrigated land aa
a homestead.
Another important resolution that will
b Introduced will be th following:
"Resolved. That between the irrigated
farma and the non-Irrigated grating
land of th Wet ther la produced all
th material for making the choicest ot
commercial food meat. All that is lack
ing Is an accurate knowledge aa to the
proper methods and proportions In which
to combine these existing elements, and
tha national government Is urged to as
sist In conducting the necessary experi
ments to thaw the western stockman how
to maka meats of tha products of tha
western ranch and range."
'-v.. Taa Woolggvsms.
During the aelon ef . the National
"Woolgrowers' association an effort will
be made to Indorse th abov resolutions
t be Introduced by the National. Live
stock association, beside paaslng. reso
lutions that will directly affect the sheep
Industry. One subject to b acted upon
will be: Shall not sheep be entitled to
th same privileges and treatment in
the use of tha public lands and forest
reserve for grsslng as eattl and other
livestock? Should th bureau of animal
Industry be urged to extend its work of
inspection for scabies In sheep to the In
spection of dipping of sheep not in the
Interstata commerce, or should this work
b left exclusively to 'th authorities of
the' different states?
'-Conditions, attending th marketing of
wool and sheep, will ba carefully consid
ered at the earning convention. .
