Hogs slow In coming. More veal IS wanted. Cheese rather , weak. , TEyg-s Art Hlghor. Although one dealer on Front Street revived about 40 cases of eggs late yes terday the receipts on the entire street werp by no means large as the other dealers were very short of supplies. To day the-arrivals -were very small and this caused the quotations" to climb up several cents and the demand showed a very spirited tone. v The call from the local trade is sufficient to keep the mar ket cleaned ttp The price of eggs on the street today was ranging from 27 to 28 cents with sales reported at both fig ures, , Poultry Scaroe and Higher. ' The , scarcity of poultry has enabled the dealers to advance Quotations about a half cent today In all lines with the exception of geese, ducks and turkeys. The former are quotedr down a trifle, while the latter , two are unchanged. The arrivals of dressed turkeys still keep up and the street has & holiday ef fect except the demand is not there. Arrivals frost California The California steamer came In from Frisco last night and brought the usual cargo of fresh vegetables. Three cars of bananas arrived on the street this morning and were delivered among the various dealers, . Japanese oranges : are practically cleaned up and no more ship ments are expected on account of the war. The market is still fairly "well supplied with California tangerines, which take the place of the Japanese fruit to some extent A car Of sweet potatoes also arrived. f ; ' . ".; V Creamery Butter ffOX Weakens. There is nothing but weakness and large receipts In the creamery butter market. No changes were made In Quo tations. The arrivals" of country butter today were small but the demand Is very nominal. California ts becoming so well filled with creamery butter that her stocks are beginning to appear on this market. ' A carload is now In and Is be ing offered at about the same figures as for our best stocks. The car of Utah butter which arrived several days ago 'has not yet been- disposed of and somo cuts in quotations may have to be re ported to before it is sold. Armour still has a very good supply of : eastern creamery which he manages to quote un der the local figures. 1 . Potatoes Are Higher. , J ., Outside influences are at work in the potato market and prices are being boosted to higher level. Potato men In this city say that the condition is becoming a. trifle strained and that it is being engineered by Ban Francisco par- h ere long on potatoes and by boosting this market up they will have ihe effect of stopping receipts and there by selling their own stocks, which are already in the Bay City, at the top of the market. Their efforts seem to have the desired effect for the farmers are holding and the dealers are offering more money in order to get the stocks which they do not get As high as 95 cents and even $1 has been paid for the better grades of potatoes out In the country. Onions Are T ery Plrm. , , , . The onion market is very firm but the present movement is small because the farmers are holding for higher figures. Prices now being paid -out in the coun try range all the way from 11.60 to $1.78 a hundred but some of the farmers are looking for two cents a pound. The de mand from the California and southern markets keeps up its firm tone. . Hop Business Is HomlnaL : There has been practically nothing doing in tbe hop markets during the past day or so-r-the few hundred bales now remaining unsold being in the hands of very strong farmers who will probably hold for some timel The markets for 1904 contracts show no change in either price. or tone. ;;:;:;. ,:; 1 , ,';', .. - . Smelt On of Market . The run of -Columbia river smelt In the CowUtx has come to an end and to day the receipts of that fish In this mar ket were practically nothing, There is still an absence of fresh salmon in the . markets the "waters being too low and too cold for successful. fishing. Hog Blow la Coming. The receipts of hogs today were very small with the demand for all grades block and packing stocks- very firm. The veal market is practically with out receipts and all arrivals are enabled to bring the top of the lists and even higher figures are obtained for extra fancy goods. - ........ . f Cheese Xs Weak. The entire cheese market Is very weak with the old stocks showing a large ac cumulation and. this helps to keep the prices for . the new stocks down. 7 Quota tions today are about a half cent lower. . Opinions on Today' Market W. B. Glafke Company Three cars of bananas arrived this morning for va rious dealers; California steamer came In witlt usual cargo of vegetables. V. T. Turner & Co.

Logan & Bryan ad Vise: The wheat market closed from U to llio higher. ' The least advance was in May and the most in September. The market, advanced . sharply, during , the early part ' of the session, The, clofe was Weak, with considerable of the early advance, lost. There was nothing In the cable, as Liverpool did not respond to the firmness here, yesterday. The war news is still, a factor, Scattered shorts are covering. V The pit thought Armour was a seller of' both May and July. Apart from the support, ' which largely came from Armour early,' the whole question Is one of speculative sentiment and how far it will run is doubtful. The market Is extremely nervous and unless given vigorous support .by' the leading long interests might easily have' a sharp break. Primary . receipts are about .the same as last year. No export business was reported today and the whole .cash situation, is at best only moderate. S-' H':' Corn.Xa Lower. Corn'prlces are to o lower than yesterday at the close. It opened strong and had a sharp advance , early in the day, but there: were. large liqui dating sales .throughout the session by houses which have been buyers, i The short interest has been pretty well driven in and the close was heavy. . It acts a little stronger. The offerings are still coming at a large discount. There Is, however, a, fair export demand for good corn. , . Patten Sumps Holdings. In oats- It seems as if there could be no question of ' Patten having dumped most of his holdings during the past three days. The cash : situation is strOnff. ; If there is an increase In the movement so far, it is moderate. Pork and Ribs Up. Pork and ribs closed a shade higher, and lard a little easier. They were all strong early on the short covering and further outside buying, but there was quite a good deal of realizing, particu larly in lard In the last part of the session. Receipts of hogs were large. The whole situation is one which de pends upon the force and continuance of outside bullish sentiment. . v BOSTON COPPER CLOSE. -.Boston,Febk19.-Copper clos: ma. Ask.
