' ' The Journal's prediction of a drop In the price on. package, coffees waa con firmed late yesterday afternoon and to day by a large slump in quotations. The manufacturers of Lion brand started the ball rolling by a cut of 1 cent a pound, or II a hundred. In its former llBts, and this morning the manufacturers of Ar- -with a similar cut. The cause of the decline waa the many slumps In the price of raw coffee in New York during the past week. The decline was . the most sensational made in this market In many years and is expected to be the beginning1 of a general lowering of prices. The price of coffee has been strained to a very high point, like that - of cotton and the reaction was natur- t ally due and expected. Talk of a short age in the crop was the principal eause . tun iuig RUVHnvqit um iaia iiuut mn- r tlon shows that it was not so short as had been said. AU - brands are today Quoted at I14.7S a case. . Bggs Oolng Sown. A steady. Increasing stream pf eggs Is coming into th market and everybody has enough to suit all demands. This made the - price weaken from the strained point where it had been held for -about a week and th result was that late yesterday afternoon many sales were made at 25 'A cents and some as low as 25 cents. Both of these figures .f are the ruling figures today. -The com ing of Lent will create a target de- . mand for eggs: and perhaps help to keep the market from showing too large a de cline. " ' - ' . .Poultry Xaxket Zs Weak. -The receipts of poultry today were quit liberal, but the demand was not so brisk and the market is showing a weaker feeling with probable declines In prices during ths coming week, if the arrivals do not fall off altogether. The receipts of dressed turkeys today were quite- large, but all arrivals managed, to bring? the quotations printed. V"' Bolngu to Oraokardom. There are murmurs of large outs In ths quotations on crackers, but so far there has- been nothing doing In this line. " The Inland Cracker company of Spokane has . fully determined to stay In thla Held on account of th action of the Faciflo Coast - Biscuit ; company, otherwise known as the trust, In start ing a branch in that city under the name of the . Washington Cracker company. The following statement has been mad to The Journal's correspondent at Spo kane by F. W. Klesllng ofth Inland company: - , "We already have shipped one carload of goods to Portland and will follow it up with others. So far It has not been seoeesary to cut prices there, but we are prepared to do It if it is necessary. In order to dispose of our product In that city. We can cut prices in order to get Into Portland just as easily as ths trust can cut them in Spokane In Its attempt to drive us out of business. There is -only one trust doing business on the Paclflo coast, and thla one Is th on which Is fighting us In Spokane," Hop Soil a Present Th hop market was dull today, not a ingle sal being' reported among the growers. Several buys were reported between various dealers at 29 cents for 'th best stocks. Contracting, however, continues to be the leading feature of th market. ... ' larger Meet Beceipts. f: Th fresh meat markets ar In good ah ape even With the large receipts of today. Th arrivals of fine block hogs - were large, but the demand was good and everything cleaned up at quota tion a There is not so much call for veal on account of the larger receipts, but all arrivals are sold at printed ' prloes. - -(-1 , - .a '. m mrHtwKW AWHiluf rvwnnn The lower prices being quoted on po tatoes in the San Francisco market and .th consequent- reduction In the figures being paid by the shippers has caused th farmers to again hold, and they are again waiting for a rising market. The dealers ar hardly in the market at all and do not seem to care to buy even at th lower prices. ." . - Onions Beep Stronger. iThe onion market holds its strength well with the receipts not overly large and the demand showing an Increase. There is a good call for onions front th California markets, and Arizona Is also a good buyer. Ths top price for onions Is $1.10 a hundred. , : '-t ,r Large Advanoes la Twine. During th past 60 days th quota ' tlons on cotton twins have shown an ad vance of about 18 cents a pound, but th recent slump, in ths New York prices will very likely cause an early reaction ' here. -:'-.:. -h. .::., -.. , Opinions on Teday's IZarket.

GOOD WORK DONE BY FISH HATCHERIES (Journal Special Berrtca) ..' i ' Astoria, Feb. 5. According to the annual report of Flsb Warden Van Dnsen the salmon hatcharie of th Pacific northwest ar doing wonderful work toward Increasing the supply of salmon. Since th year 1895 more than 282,000,000 young chluook salmon and mor than 48,600.000 young llTrlde or (tockey bar been turned Into the water of the Columbia river aad lta tributaries. Bach Mason of th nln years, with two siceptlont, hay shown an Increased hatch ery eutput, and th 1903-4 season will add mor thsa 70,000,009 young chlnook Cab to the sup ply. Th state of Oregon has attained first rank in this respect and now lead the United State government, Oregon' first big output waa dur ing th 1902-8 lesson, when mora than 20,000,000 young chlnook were turned into th river. During the 1903-4 season the hatchery output of Chi nook salmon was 87,595,585, compared with the government' 23,674,000 snd Wsshlngton' 9,472,000. Beld th chlnook salmon out put, Wsshlngton propagated alnc 1896 mors than 82,000,000 sockey and Oregon 16.600.000, and th latter state nor thsa 800,000 stael head aa wslL Bom Idea of the immense returns which the hatcheries net can b gained from a statement of the probable worth of th output of the propagation planta. Every chlnook salmon caught is worth about $1.25 to th fisherman, and prepared for market will average In value about $2,50, taking Into consideration the high prlc received for pickled flab for export pur pose. Expert estimate that to 9 per cent of the salmon artificially Drooarated reach the ocean, currtvlng th attacks of their natural enemies. If. however, only per cent of the ash return to the river and r caught, th supply will hav been Increased by mor than 14,000,000 fish, of the value of Dor than 817, 000,000 to th fishermen snd about $36,000,000 vi un cuiuuiwrciai laieresrs 01 vie scat, under th aew method of handling salmon, which ar kept at th hatcheries until large enough to protect themselves, the percentage reaching the ocean is much greater, so area better reeults can be looked for.
