Butter la weaker if a in. ,, 'neee la barely movlcg. o changes Id train. Onion Market la Wakr. Extreme dullness la prevailing In the onion . market at present and the dealer are not Terr . atitlou to buy nor the farmer anztuua to ; U'lL n failure of the transportation com . lUiUifl to take rare of the freight offered la one of the main causes, but even with a ahort ii ire In the arrival the Kan Frunclaco market , U not doing the atnnt that It la expected to do. Where few day ago the local dealer, wereverv anxious to buy now they are ataylnf ' 'V at home and refuse offers even at lower figure. '4 ' cteioa Are Al Dull. The name situation Is noted In the potato market as In onions, only the weakneaa In this ' line la far more pronounced.-' Here the deal . i era are fall np with stocks and cannot take ' ' rare of even their former purchase on account of 'the lark of warehouae room and transporta tion to the bar-citr market. The prospect 11 f extreme high water has an alarming ef fect on potato men. for tuey ay that soooia m-b an event occur they will lose thousand of dollars, as most of their money Is tied up In stocks located In warehouse along the to liimnla and Willamette river. If they had a Place to move them they ay the situation would not be so bad. but with all warehouses in this vicinity filled to the brim they are . io ad straits. The ealea of stock In the local markets today were fair.' but quotation here ' are not so high a they are elsewhere. 1 Kicking on Advance in Bates. In a few day, according ta potato men, they will be charged an additional 60c per ton on Dotatoes from this city to hu ran riaco by steamer. The rate la now $3 per ton. while the new one will be advanced to S3.50. The rate by rail now la $3.80 and po tato men ay It now looks aa If that, too, will hp -raised. "It 1 n, outrage." y V. K, Melklf.. "Thl Burning I received notification that the freight rate on potatoes by ateamer to Fruca would be advanced cue per ton. 1 suppose this 1 because we have had sncb good service by the company or late mat tney thought, they ought to get more money.-, At present we are not allowed to put potatora on the dorks at all. while other firm have held their atneka there for some time. It looks . very much like discrimination to me. Mo Bala la Hops. The bop market Just now 1 very dull, the dealers aud the bolder or atocka sparring with . the brewers with the expectation o( higher of fering later on. The bopa In this state now unsold are in very strong banda, and they say that they will not sell under a 30c market. 'We only have a few of these bale each," aay one of the bolder, "ana we think that we can afford to speculate on the market as well other. If we lone we will still be ahead of ' the figures offered us early In the leasou.and If we win out ye will make a fair sum over that amount.", Eggs -Begin ta Stiffen. ' With the large, withdrawals of egg from thl market to the sound yeaterday aud today - the local market I showing a firmer feeling and price tnok" slightly- higher, rtir -dealer a line sold 125 cases of eggs yeaterday to th aornd at 15H and others have sold a slightly amaller amount. The quotations on the street , today ranged from l&'c to 16c, with the-sales SlrOUt equally '" th twit flyllre. Butter rirmnea I Off. ' The effect of the butter men to bull the market yeaterday in the hope that price would Uw a alight advance and cause a general KTtmhle for atoVks did not prove very uc--emrul for today the market 1 weaker than ever and stock of both the best aud the off-grade are showing ' largi accumulation. Ji'dt what the Kan Francisco men are doing sin the butter line ta nut known here on account of the failure of tb telegraphic wires to work. The presumption here is that the ef forte to bull the market there failed the same a In ' thl market. Butter ta cowing in too fast to hold the stocks for an advance. No change . were made la the quotation today. Cheese I Barely Moving. "Stock In the cheeae market are barely mov ing at' all and a large accumulation of all grtde are rhown along Front street. One of the principal ranse for the present weak I. eta tn the cheese market when price ibould at least be Arm la that the Tillamook manufac ture beld their atocka to too. high a figure luring the latter part of lBOil and this caused the-' Portland market to assume aa unnatural ton and the' result ws that th entire trade of ' eastern Oregon and Washington, which usually comes to thl market, tailed to ma - tertallne and bought It stocks In the east. ... Kiistern atocka could then be laid down In that territory at lower figure than were quoted In tbla market. Jint now Tillamook cheese men are willing to sell their older stocks at tuost any price offered. Oyster Ar Out of Market. On account of the atornia off tbe-cosst there Is a famine In the Portland oyster market and few stock of any kind are now on hand. The .weather I so bad that the beds at Olympia and 8boalwat(r bay cannot be worked at all. - Ha Change fit Grain. The grain market are not showing any change today. Wheat 1 (till weak, but the miller are still offering the former price. Oats are aouuwhat urnier ob account of the determination of the government to take a fiu-tber look into the bid offered by local men la tb late contest. ' Merchant' Opinion on Today' Market. . W. B.

The ground ha been fruxen but little aud none of tb water that ha fallen bas run off the ground. There has boon but little dry weather or heavy wind to uncover the roct of the grain and the wheat 1 In excellent con dition and 1 now, growing lu the warm day that are Interspersed among the welcome rain. Old settlers ay that It has been one of the wettest wintera In the history of the county and' that a good . crop always follows a wet. cloudy winter. - The dryest kind of spring weather can not now damage the crop to any great' extent, a the ground 1 so full of niolature.' Home of the foothill farms bare been almost too wet, but the soli in thlr county Is such that wet weather doc not damage a crop aa In heavier soil.

The market was very strong and active today. Old July wheat opened at PlHr and eleaed at 02Hc. an advance of Sc for the day. .tiin other optlona acting In sympathy. Primary receipt were again large. The strength of the market today was due principally to the heavy buying of local bulls. Armour I reported a tfcvlng made large purchases of both September and July.

SAIL FOR ORIENT NTJKSE WOMEN WHO HATE BEEN OH THE TIELD OT BATTLE ZH THE FAST ZiEAYB SEATTLE POB SCENE Or THE PBESENT CON FLICT. Nine veteran war nuraes, to be known as the Philadelphia corps, sailed Wednesday from Seattle on the Jap anese ' mail steamer, Iyo Maru, for the Orient. - Prompted only by a desire to succor the unfortunate in the present conflict In the far east. Br. Anita New comb McGee, organized the corps and selected as Its members women who have had actual experience on the Held of battle. The members of the organ ization are: Misses Ella V. King;, Minnie Cooke, Adelaide Mackereth, Elizabeth Kratz, Adele Neeb.'of Philadelphia; Miss Sophia Newajl of New Jersey;; Mls Genevieve Russell of New York; Miss Mary Glad win of Boston, and Miss Alice Kemmer of Indiana. .. The nurses are all volunteers and have agreed by contract to serve at least six months without compensation . and to subject themselves to the orders of Dr. McGee and the Red Cross association. Each of the nurses wears the badge of the Red Cross society with the word "Philadelphia" embroidered upon It. When the party left Philadelphia a week ago the occasion caused a public demonstration and Mayor Weaver and other city officials made addresses and publicly commended the action of the women. Several Japanese students were among those who greeted the nurses. In his r.ddress the mayor of the city of Brotherly Love said: "You carry on your arms the bright red cross of the organization you - di rectly represent, and I notice that you also wear the name of this great city beneath that badge. Philadelphia has sent aid to the afflicted of the world, and it la not so many years ago that I saw a ship clear this port for Russia carrying food to the then starving peas ants of that country. That was preo ious freight, but it was of small value as compared to the wealth of practical aid and merciful relief you shall carry into Japan.

POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM ST. HELENS (Journal Special Service.) St. Helens, Or., March 11. As the time draws nearer for holding the county conventions. It becomes more apparent that the Democrats have a fighting show to elect , a part of their ticket In Columbia county. Two years ago the Democrats elected a sheriff and clerk In the face of a heavy Republican majority. Partly as a result of the county seat elections last summer there are bitter factional fights among the Republicans, and some of the St. Helens leaders openly boast that they will form a combination with Clatskanle and down alny Rainier candidate that may come up before the convention. County Judge Doan, a Republican, and a resident of Rainier, Is a candidate for reelection. E. E. Quick of St Helens also wants the Republican nomination for county judge. Over 600 voters have registered up to date, and It is certain that the voting population will far exceed that of two years ago. In about a month the St. Helens annual city election will be held.
