, Tresh 'Meats Are Klffcsr.
The scarcity In all - lines of fresh
meats In the' Front street markets has
caused the market to stiffen consider
ably since yesterday and quotations are
ranging higher with the demand a fight
ing one. There have been very few hogs
on the street during the past couple of
weeks and the retail butchers are con
stantly on Front ; street keeping their
eyes gauged for new arrivals. The
prices on, hogs are' already 'good ones.
but today the market showed a stiff
ness that looked higher. Veal Is prac
tically out of the market and this
caused the few arrivals to sell at ad
vanced figures. '. Even the tone of the
mutton market Is better and the quota-i
tlons today are higher, with the demand
far exceeding the'supply.; Spring lambs
re coming in slightly faster but the
receipts are quickly- picked up at the
top ot -the market All . through the
fresh meat market nothing but strength
can be seen and prices are considered
good all along the line. The steady
shipment of stocks Into the market will
allow the dealer to obtain present prices.
but should the farmers save up their
stocks for a long time and then send
them to market the result would .be
disastrous.
Many Prices on Egg-
On Front street today many prices are
ruling on eggs. One dealer is selling
at quotations ranging from 27H to 29
cents, while another Is only asking 27
and 27 cents. Receipts on the street,
although not extra large, are still too
plentiful for the small demand now pre
vailing, most of the retailers buying but
one case at a time, while under ordinary
conditions these same--concerns pui
chase, in Ave or six case lots. -,The fu
ture of the egg market depends alto
gether on the weather and supply,
There are still large lots of eastern and
Oregon cold storage eggs on the mar
ket, but the movement In either of these
lines is practically nominal. ; Egg quota
tlons today are ranging from It toZ9
cents, with most of the sales being made
at 27 H cents.
Mora Hops Art Sold.
The hop movement has begun In earn
est again and many additional sales aro
reported. Last night It is reported that
Ottenheimcr of Salem purchased 404
bales of fancies at Eugene at 25 cents.
The latter reports of the foreign mar
ket snow more strength with no changes
In quotations. The market now is en
tirely in the hands "of the dealers and
they .are only waiting to. get In a few
more bales before making a combined
attempt to. push prices up to the top
notch.
reed Stronger and Xooks Up.
The entire feed market is showing
added strength and some changes Id
prices may be expected within the next
day or so. According to the dealers the
price on oats will be the first one likely,
to show an advance. The offerings ol
hay by . the farmers Is growing In
volume and the market is slightly
weaker, with the prices looking down.
Mora Poultry Zs Coming.
The receipts of poultry today were
far in excess of those of yesterday, but
the market was able to take care of all
arrivals at the top quotations. A few
turkeys are seen on the street and the
market holds firm. No changes appear
In poultry prices today.
Changs in Mill Products.
. The United States mills, the Acme
mills and Portland City mills today an
nounced an advance of 30 cents a. case
In 20-5's wheat flakes, the present list
being 14.50. A decline of 20 cents a case
has been made In oat flakes, 2-5's, the
new ruling price being $4.80 per case.
Wheat's Ton Xs Plnn.
Although' no changes have occurred In
the quotations on local wheat since last
week, the market remains firm and
valley millers - continue to pay the
premium of from 1 to I V4 cents a bushel
over local figures. The flour market
1 firmer, with the extra demand from
the Orient This flour Is bought by
China firms, but It Is said -that It is
really for the use of the Japanese army.
Potatoes Are Bot Mowing.
With the exception of the few
bags for local consumption, the potato
market is quite dull and lower prices
are ruling for the middle grades. There
Is so little of the choice stocks coming
into the market at the present tim
that they can hardly be considered.
"The main trouble with the prices on
Oregon potatoes." says a local, potato
shipper,, is that . we are sending too
much poor stocks into that market. If
the Oregon' farmer was more careful
with his packing of potatoes he would
be able to get better prices. California
had a bumper crop7 of potatoes this
season and for the past two yeaj;s the
quality .has been very good. There is
no use in sending poor stock into that
market with the expectation of getting
good prices, for they have that class of
goods themselves, which are selling at
low figures. Only the very best stocks
pay to ship." ,
Ihe Onion market Is former, with the
demand better. Local men who are
buying are paying II out in the coun
try. and $1.05 t, o. b. ..Portland.-
, Cordor Coffee Higher.
The manufacturers of Cordova bran!
of package coffee have announced eu
advance of 50 cents a hundred, similar
to the one made on Arbuckle. n
changes in Lion have yet been received
in mis city.

There was another wild wheat market
today. Liverpool was ud' moderately.
but consols were lower and broke badly
before tjve close in London.- yr news
was me cause. Traders had gone home
last night almost uniformly short on
Wheat and the opening from 2 to H
point higher this morning, since when
me price remained within moderate lim
its. The covering of shorts was larsre
and the pit takes it without question
that Armour's sales largely supplied the
demand. There Is nothing else to say
or me marxet at present as, conditions
01 supply and demand receive no consld
eratlon and have no effect. - Actual
knowledge of the political status in tho
least Is so slight and so vague that any
opinion is valueless. Everything Is like
ly to turn and head on the news from
inai Quarter,
Cora Ooeaj Xighsr.
On the same Influences that ' control
wheat, corn was about 1 cents higher.
There was a large short covering but
outside or tnis tnera was not much ac
tivity. The aspect of the market devel
oped at no time any strength or nres

The oats market closed about U cent
higher. There was a lees urrent demand
from the short Interest than in wheat
and corn and the whole tone of the mar.

up as a buyer of oats yesterday but
houses who trade for him were today
selling in a moderate way. Receipts

ProrUions Sharply Sirher.
The provision market' was ahamlv
higher. - Hog receipts were liberal and
prices were higher. We are inclined to
think we would hold aloof.
BROKERS' OPINIONS
ON NEW YORK STOCKS
Log a a BrysB.-New Tork Th stack
market aoloT" off rather sharply today but
the close was ateadler and Indicated on the
whole rather a good support . Rather acute
rumors regarding the political altuatioa la the
East caused lsrge selling is London and wsa
the main incentive, but the. unfavorable state
ment of the Bteel corporation also contributed
to some extent. Ot course it 1 a condition
where conservatism is heat, hut i.
cllned to think that it wont hart much ' to
buy good stocks on the breaks.
