In preference- to -.those --'of the - Portland ' houses. - Ahother dealer says " that his 'potatoes had been lying on the, steam' ; ship dock for. several , weeks, and were still left on the wharf when the steamer left tout last night Although there 'Were 3.000 bans of stocks taken ydown ; his ; were., not , among ' them. .,- "If the steamship company' would only take the snipmems in tne oraer or tneir arrival, ' , says McKinley Mitchell, 'there would be ( no .kick, but such does npt seem to fee .the" case. It seems that the stocks, which went below were 'for the. local repre sentatives of San Francisco Arms and . tills causes the market to (be controlled . oy a lew." v . ; ' 1 Cannot Snip Potatoes. ' . The..'woes of, the . potato buyers are many just at this time. The steamship company -does not take down one-quar- ter of the stocks offered and-tile railway i company does not have a supply of re frigerator cars on hand. There are 'i plenty of box cars offered, but. these are of little use. as the potatoes would freeze while crossing the mountains. An ef- .fort Is being made by some of the lo cal shippers to band together and equip the box cars with a charcoal stove and 'send them down to the Bay City In a bunch in charge of a personal repre- I ...

The , next steamer to the Bay City will very -likely take down the greater portion of the potato stocks now on the docks and fUhls will surely cause a slump In the , market. . r .. ,'fl. Prices Are Hlgfcer Here. H The- buying prices on potatoes are J showing a slight advance in this city .'with. e .added firmness in the San 'Francisco market As high as 90 cents ; Is now being offered by some of the ,l dealers. - dui mis price is ret uauiau . The stocks of California-grown pota- toe are, fast getting to the bottom of ! the pile and the market there will soon 'have to depend nearly altogether on the i Northwest for supplies. Of these Port- , land will be called upon to make the largest shipments. - ; Onions Are Higher. ; i The larger, demand for onions from 'the outside is causing the local markets ' to assume a stronger tone and prices are again showing an advance In the buying t price for the bent stocks. The farmers are how freer sellers and tha-roovement to the outside is large, 8ome sections are now nractically cleaned up and a good healthy tone Is expected in this . market during the remainder of the season. The top price now being paid for onions In the country Is fl.lOwnUe the top In the city is $1.20. Hay Market Lower. ' The hay market Is about -80. cents a 4iu inwnr nn ancount of the laraer Offer ings by vthe farmers and the general overstocking of . .the market A large number of inquiries have been made of late by Central West shippers to sell hay In this market. . -XUlstaffs Signer. ; - V The feed market Is showing a much firmer tone and quotations are showing an advance. Middlings are, quoted at 11 a ton higher, while chop Is 60 cents a ton higher. ' Other feed prices are firm, with no changes today. .f . . Egg Deollne Begins. ' The predicted decline In the egg mar ket has begun. This morning the re ceipts showed a large Increase. with the demand not so .Active. The retailers -only .buying from hand to mouth, and .the result Is that stocks,-although not over large at present ere beginning to accumulate. A large shipment of eggs from California came In late today and this will have a bad effect on prices. Prices are down 1 cent today. ' Local Wheat Boss Hot ToUow. The local wheat , market does not follow the advances and the reactions in the Chicago market . This market is now , a close follower after Liver pool, arid as that market has not ad vanced when Chicago prices went up, the local lists consequently showed no change. Wheat in this city Is worth Just what It can be sold for In fhe Liver pool market, . and all prices here are based on what the market there does. Only in days of boom prices In Chi - cago does wheat in this city go there. The flour market Is firm, local hand lers of Eastern manufactured flour are quoting prices 10 cents a barrel higher today. ' Local flour is strong In tone, with no changes In the lists. , : Lloa Coffee Follows. 's'-.',. The advance of 60 cents per 100 in the quotations on Arbuckle package cof fees was followed today by one - for the same amount by the manufacturers of the Lion brand. All the leading brands of Eastern package coffees are . . now queted at 116.26, '' Hogs Trifle Weaker. , - 1 The hog market la a trifle Weaker, with the receipts very large and the de mand slightly smaller. Veal came. In rather readily during the past few days, but the market is still crying for more. The tone of mutton And beef Is fair. ' ' Largs Son of mel. ..-The run of Columbia river smelt In the Cowllts yesterday wss very large ,and the quotations dropped 1 cent from those of yesterday. Other fish prices are unchanged. ' . - The bop market Is temporarily. In active and few sales were reported up the - valley yesterday. - Contracting is going on in large numbers at good fig ures. Many of the growers are ref us lng fair prices to tie up their crops for three or five years. Wool and hides are dulL ' v Opinions on Today's Uarket, .- ,W. B.

G, 8. x Smith company Very little business done on the street today. : i Malarkejr, & Co. Smelt are thicker and price has dropped 1 cent. L. Jagger Potatoes good and firm: onions steady at top prices. ' Davenport-Thompson company Eggs are coming In more freely.

Money market in fine shape. Statement shows expansion in every detail, while heretofore for a long time contraction has marked the tendency, The change constitutes a fundamental and vital Improvement. Naturally, after such a continued ad vance, there was more or less profit taking and some little reaction in spots. Closing was therefore Irregular, but strong. There is as yei no pressure from long stocks. The waiting list of Investors is. we think, still large. As long as . these conditions last, we see very little danger in buying stocks, and think the tendency will le higher. Hutton & Co., New York: There Is a powerful bullish clique at. work, and their , operations. - are not completed. They must have a large amount of stocks on hand for sale on the announce ment of the supposed favorable turn in the Bast - Market well supported. It seems advisable not to buy on the Ha ng tendency at present. 1 RandolDh & Co.. New Tork: Profit- taking; caused reaction and market be gan to look toppy for the first time since the advance began. I would advise tak ing pronts ana even going snort ror a turn around ,thls level.

The short sellers of wheat yesterday were largely the buyers of today, i As long as the present strained and conges ted situation prevails In respect tjo the May option this is likely to reoccur and a good scalping market will probably be the result. The other conditions ara the main, foreign markets are dull and con tinued large v primary, receipts. : with the exception of the local milling de mand, there Is a poor spot situation Argentine shipments of wheat, except as Interfered with by their strike are imeiy to be at an increasing ratio and to reach liberal proportions. Unless' some thing new develops in the present situa tion. It may be taken as tending towards peace. ; - The local speculative situation makes the tendency rather difficult to forecast. On the commercial position we are Inclined - to - think . July wheat as higher than it would be except for the May manipulation. September wheat is practically the next crop, it has been up to 80 cents and Is now still In that neigh borhood. It is a pretty high price. We are inclined to think It won't hurt much to sell it on the rallies and It might ul timately pay a fine profit We would let May wheat strictly alone, -;', Small Cora .Trad. ; The firmness In wheat contributed somewhat to corn, but the trading was rather small. Large men were disposed to reinvest Much of the strength on the decline has been because of the poor quality of arrivals. Pemand is fair and is equal to the supply. Colder weather may Increase the movement but until It does we do not see where much selling pressure Is coming from. Except for a small radius about Chicago, local prices for corn seem, as a rule, somewhat bet ter than Chicago prices. " - Uothlnr in Oats. 'There' was toothing worthy of nofe in tbe tradingln oats and movements were only moderate. With the exception of the large Patten holdings, which exceed anything that exists in the corn mar ket., the condition in. oats-is much the same as in corn. Prices are high, but it seems Justified by. conditions of supply and demand at the moment. Advices do not seem to indicate that the movement will Increase immediately. . Provisions Are XjOwse, Provisions were a shade easier. Re ceipts of hogs at the primary markets were in excess of last year. Prices at the yards were a shade higher. . Indica tions are .that the movement for the coming - week will be large,-running; in excess of last year. Demand is no bet ter but packers are free sellers of their products and there is outside scattered speculation buying, .v.;"". . BOSTOS 'OOPPEX CLOSE. Boston, Jan. 23.

Cotton Futures. 8iit 10 rtolnta . lnwert ml,1. dllnga, 10 points lower, , , STILL ANOTHER RISE IN COTTON PRICES r (Furnished by Orerbeclc, Starr A Cooke Co.l New York, Jan. 23. -Thar cotton mar ket was quiet, with light offerings, and these were mostly absorbed by the leading bulls. The long side is gradu ally concentrating Into the hands of a smaller number of operators, whose transactions at times are in large vol ume,, the smaller traders being content with in and out ' operations. There is is nothing to suggest a change In the tendency toward higher prices, and the curtailment- in the actual demand:' for the staple. Which can only be produced by the limit -of the consuming power to ?ay. . In this connection it may be stated rade is- Improving and, stocks decreas ing; that buying is becoming more im perative every day, with advances cor responding in the price of the staple on all but the finer fabrics made from cotton. In point of fact the position of the cotton trade In general is healthy and promise of a short supply Is wetj established, that the trade Is able to predicate In a most convincing way upon the future of values. Cotton has the situation well in hand, and unless values are rushed too high and ahead of real prices, substantial declines seem unlikely, unless produced' by foreign complications. Operators for the, long account have only to accept delivery of all cotton promptly taken by consum ers, and before September 1 the world's supplies will be in their hands' and in volume much less than. any correspond ing period for many years past Prices will depend on enforced buying .by. the spinners. : t ' The cotton market today was as fol lows: .-.. , ' -.- ;, -.v , ': .)
