Front Street. March The nrlnclpal Items
of Interest In (be local markvia today are:
Salmon season . close. . - t
Smelt more plentiful.
Many, changes In fiour. ... ' -
Prune are spoiling. - ' !
Beaua are much higher. '
New firm on Front street.
Eggs continue weak.
Meaf situation very Arm.
Butter shows mora weakness.
Three can bananas arrive. -California
steamer due tonight
Little wheat Is sailing.
The close season for salmon fishing In th
state of Oregon began at midnight last night
and will continue until April 16, The deaiera
will be slven until about the end 'of the week
to dispose of all their freah r stocks which
an not large enough to last them more than
perbapa one or two daya. Then all the salmon
used In this market will be ot the coin-storage
variety. Fishermen ot this city every, year pro
test against the close aeaaon, as they say that
It la placed at the wrong time, of the year to
accomplish It principal purpose the protection
of the lalmou during the breeding season,
Fishermen her all agree that the salmon does
not (Dawn until ahiut the latter part of Sep
tember or the first of October and the cloalng
of the season at thta time is a direct loss to
the state. When the season slosei In this state
the fleh men order their supplies from the
Sacramento river ia California, which Hate
doe not believe In the close season as does
Oregon. A large smount ot money Is thereby
sent from Orexon into that atate annually
for salmon which could Juat as easily be paid
to local flahermen without affecting the salmon
lnduatry a particle. "We thluk li a shame,"
says Malarkey ft Co., "to close Ue lesson for
almon fishing just at the time when the flab
ta in the moat demand. - This cloae season la all
farce. Inasmuch aa It tails to accomplish
the purpose Intended. Salmon do not apawn
at this time and the atate make lawa mat
send Urge imount ot money into California
each year by forcing ua to buy salmon mere.
t ' Xanr Change la Flour,
Al ha been predicted by The Journal during
the past week, all the local mill men today
tell la line iu the matter of a flour advance.
Today the Portland 'Flouring' Mill company
announced an advance of 15c per barrel on all
gradea, eastern Oregon patenta, stralghta and
valley grades. The Dour market is stiu nrm
at the new lists. There la at the present time
no inquiry from the orient for Hour and tew
shipment an therefore reported.
Mil Feeds Are Firm.
Mill product are firm at the advance ex
cluslvely reported In The Journal yesterday
Oats, bran and aborts are firm with the market
showing a rlalna tendency.
During the past few daya the Chleago market
has declined about 7c per bushel on wheat and
this baa caused a lull in operations in this
market. Liverpool ia now showing the effect
of the slump In the American murketa by
decline' In values today. Those farmen and
warehouse men who were going to ship their
wheat Into the eastern, markets rrhen the price
went up several .more cents are now feeling
rather blue and ire very likely to make' often
to the mlllm It the price ihould go any lower
in the east. No change were made In valuea in
this market today.
Prunes Are Spoiling.
Just what Is the matter with tbli yeir'i Or
gon prune cannot be told to a certainty, but
that there la eometblng wrong li acknowledged
by all prune bapdlera of tbli city.. J'be ,clalin
is made that dealer! are'very arfiious to sell at
194c baals, but very little business is being
placed. The longer the delay In the coming of
the orden the more anxloua the prune holders
become and the mon willing they are to take
any figure which la offered them. Ibe foe
that the Oregon prune season does not carry
well 1 the strongest reason lor tne laca or
oiden. L'nleaa the shipment! go Into Immedl
ate consumption. It entail Ions on the hold
ere. A California fruit grower In speaking of
the matter aayi: "California prunus msy be
put In cold itorsge on the advent of warm
weather, and they keep perfectly for an in
definite period. Oregon prune will not keep
in the heat, and they will not keep In cold
s tonga. they begin to mold altnoat immedl,
a teli. Orecon holder! Inform their agent! that
owing to wet weather the prune! ire a polling
on their bind In the bin ana are urging mem
to sell at almost any price to move the fruit.
Beans Are Higher.
The ahortagi In the bean crop during the last
season and the large demand for thle claassof
stocks by the various governments fur the us
of their troop! In the neld has caused a num
bet of abarp advance In the entire bean mar
ket during - the past aeaaon and the market
shows every indication of doing further atuuts,
Today the market on nearly all gradea shows an
advance of about 26c per hundred pounds,
Hew Firm oa Front Street.
The principal topic ot convenatlon along
Front street today waa tbe opening up for bust
neaa of the new commlHSiun firm of Dryer,
O'Malley A Co. Tbe nrm is coinpoaed of W
H. Dryer, tbe veteran potato buyer and ablp
ner. Toner O'Malley. for many yean connected
with Page A Sou and late of Wolf ft Boh, and
Walter Bollen, late of Page A Son.
Eggi Continue Weak.
The ecg market is still on tbe weak Hat with
the receipt somewhat larger than the demand.
There la some selling but ill purchases are
at low figures. The sound and Alaska are doing
a little buying.
Meat Situation Very Firm
The enttro meat market is firm with the
receipts especially' or. hog Inadequate to fill
the demand. The arrival of veal have been
larger this week, but tbe market Is still In
gooa couutuoo, '
suiter a weaaer.
Everything In the butter line Is wesker on
account of the large receipt of local and Cali
fornia stocki. The latter grade ta still being
quoted lower thin the Qregou stocks. A furthei
diop la price li not cooiiaerea ununeiy.

Is a feeble, factor up to tne pn-aent time. We
are approaifdug point, however, wnen me

will unilniibtvllv h anm reectlon from this
aerere break atr sunle point, but we are still
Inclined to think that prices are high and
there will be considerable market breaks.
Corn Follows Wheat.
There was the same liquidation In -corn as In
wheat snd from the same weakness. The
market waa without any luiumrt and prices de
lued steadily during tbe session. Tbe recent
'rength has been almost wholly peculotiv
and cssh did not aeeui to warrant It. Primary
receipts were 711,000 bushels, against 700,000
bushels lust year, and shipments were 363,000
bushels, agulnat 650.000 bunbels. Tbe total
clearances were 4711,000 bushels.
Oati Were Very Weak.
In oats It was a very weak market and a
great deal ot scattered llnuldatlon and very
poor support. The same overbought snd
strained condition existed In oata a In other
grain-,. Confidence in the war has been ex
haunted and the reucting Is tak ug nlitce, Total
clearances of oata were 20,000 bushels.
Liquidation in Provisiona.
In provisions, too. It waa a caae r,f llnuM..
tlon by outsider. This haa only been partial
i"i we luina mere ns aim a larite scattered In
terest In provlaions. ijoeai traders are bearish
and pneken are bearish alao. Receipts of hogs
uirire ami me nemanu la no better than
mouerate, with stocks rapidly accumulating,
ine theory that, war will Increase haa been
mainly sentiment and no trade on It. Hogs
at th stockyards cliaed 5 to 10 cents lower and
cattle strong. We Mill think provisions ahould

cold weather haa so seriously dnninged peach
trees that tbe prospect for fruit the coming

that peach buds cannot stand a loner tempera

THE DIXIE MEADOWS
A VERY BIG MINE
'-- (Journal Special Service.)
Sumpter, Or., March . Arthur B.
Browne, the Sumpter mining engineer,
returned a few days ago from the
Quartzburg district where he made an
examination of the Dixie Meadows
mine. Mr. Browne says that he was
agreeable surprised at the magnitude of
this property. The mine, he says, as a
whole presents one of the most inter
esting developments of the district.
With less than 2,000 "feet of work, at
least three years' ore supply for a 100-
ton mill has been developed in a single
shoot, a record seldom" equaled In any
section. The ledge, he 'says. Is unques
tlonably one of the strongest fissure
veins in eastern Oregon. The filling Is
typical of the great slate areas of the
district, which Is a breccia of slate
enclosed and partly replaced by quart.
Accompanying the Assure are the. rem
nants of an ingenious Intrusion com
monly termed porphyry by the miners.
This porphyrltlc material has been sub
ject to replacement to such an extent aa
to be whqlly absent throughout consid
erable areas while in others it is still
quite marked.
The property Is equipped with a 100
ton concentrating plant, sawmill, etc.
The system employed is that of wet
crushing by rolls. The ore passes a
gyratory breaker, roll Jaw crusher and
two sets of rolls with Intermediate
screen slaing. The pulp passes over
amalgam copper plates and then on to
new standard concentrators.- The mill Is
operated by steam power, a .separate en
gine being used for the concentrators.
The present practice Is that of crush
ing to 16-mesh and the separation of the
concentrates Into two grades, the higher
grade being shipped, while the second
grade Is retained for local reduction.
Only a small percentage of the value IS:
recovered on the plates, but as the aver-'
age tailings are said to contain about 90
cents per ton the free gold which es
capes from the plates must be saved
with great efficiency by the concentra
tors. Mr. Browne says that the observer Is
tempted to question the economic effici
ency of certain details of the present
mill practice, but tho atmosphere of
conservative good management which
surrounds this property produces con
fidence that all such faults will be
promptly, detected and the proper modi
fications adopted.
Good Progress at May Qun.
Superintendent Young of the May
Queen mine In tho Red Boy district
wns In the city yesterday and says that
work at the mine Is progressing as
usual, the main drift now being very
close to the vein, which Is to be cross
cut on that level. When the vein' has
boon opined it will be sunk on until it
dips into the parallel proven on the sur
face lust fall by shaft work.
