Sensation in Coffee Karltrt..' '
' 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. .::., -.. ,

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.

southern bulls baa been Inspiring and there ha
been mor or less buying by spectators In

In th cmtbern'nd atern efforts. There I
yet the western man to hear from. Low-grad
corn yesterday was lc to - Be higher. The
tall interest on corn ar predicting th next
development in their market will be aa ad
vance in all th usual corn grades. They pre
dict that wlthla a month the off grades of
corn In stocks of the millers would be dis
counted. Thoa who take this view feci tb

regard to milling situation and position of mill
ing whsst grade keep bullish. Tot is from
Nw Xork, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Balti
more. "Stocks her last Saturday," said a Baltimore
message yesterday, 'were 642,000 buahals. of

Th Balttmor Trsd says that area oa tb

"W ar bullish on corn," say A. I. Valen
tine. "We ar Influenced by tb fact that It to
Impossible to buy corn In tbo weet. It 1 also
significant that ws cannot profitably ask eon
tract corn out of the new grade. Thar Is too

offered for contracts bat there ar taw taker
even at these figures, grower generally pre
ferring to sot lose control of their crops Is view
of th itrong market, the shortage la tbo world's
supply snd the consequent feeling that hop
