. Poultry market advanced. ! . , 1 , '

Japanese oranges scarce.
Three cars of bananas arrive ' .'
, California steamer comes In. .
Potatoes are higher.
Onions continue firmness.
Smelt Out of market.
, Nominal hop business. .-. . .,.
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.

CORK LOWER.
(Furnished by Orerbeck, Starr A Cooke Co.l
Chicago, Feb. 10. 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

"I do not care to give a man a severe
sentence Just because he Is an ex-convict,
but one who has been in the peni

for -carrying concealed weapons.. Wil
son wast arrested on- Third Juid Pine
streets about 9 o'clock last night by
Sergeant - Hogeboom and Patrolman

line of a revolver beneath It, s
Their prisoner had recently been re
leased from the Washington penitentiary
at Walla Walla, He had been gambling

ago, and was without money.
Wilson was sentenced to 100 days In
the county Jail,
