nrlnclDal featurea of ' the Portland
wholesale markets during the past week
were: . ''-.-
All provlalona are advanced. .
Coffee markets takes s Jump.
Dreased hogs snd veal are up. , .
Sugar movea up 10c a hundred.
,' Chlttlm bark ia dull and lower.
Egg altuatlon a complicated one.
Toultrx betteV,. with no changes.
- Japanese sending ordera for flour.
New wjieat la coming In slowly; '
. Hop contract made at Jle.
Cabbage waa very scarce.
All Provisions Are 'Advanced.
On VYidar there was sn advance" all
along "the line In the provision market,
the " continuance o the atflks among
the eaatera packers causing a shortage
of atocks. lioga are also higher at the
yards than they were since the last
change- waa-mad in provlalona and thla
la one of the principal reaaona for the
upward tendency of prices. The changea
were: Hams of all averagea aavancea
Uc with the new auotationa ranging at
lac: breakfaat bacon advanced Ho. th
new figures ranging from 18 H to ITttc;
picnic hams advanced lo. the new price
being llcf regular abort, deare advanced
Ue, prices ranging from ttc to loc;
butts are down- 4o. new quotations
being 8 'and 9o for the unamoked and
the smeked, varletlea; .clear backa ad
vanced He, new prices ranging from I
to 10c according to variety. No changea
were made In the valuea on lard, aa
stocks are large enough to withstand a
long siege of the strikers and yet re
main at preaen't flgurea. Juat now there
are but amall atocks of "eastern provla
lona In thla market, despite the utter
ance of the local agents - that they
would not be short. ,
Ooffss Market Takes a Jnmp,
On Friday the manufacturer of Ar-
buckles and Cordova brands of package
coffee made an advance of Ho a pound
la - their- former quotationa, " the new
pricea being 112.7a. There' haa been no
change in the Hat on Lion brand, as It
now seems that a war between the two
large coffee' concerna la on. The price
of IJon remains $1 below that of Ar
buckle. The reason for the advance in'
Arbucklr la that suppliea of the cheaper
grade of coffee are not large, but there
ia a very noticeable increase in tse visi
ble supply of the better grades over
that of a year ago, there being a differ
ence in the supplies of nearly 1,000,000
bags tn favor of this yesr.
one Market Advances 10 Cents.
On the same day as the advance in
coffee and provisions there was sn ad
vance of lOo a hundred pounds In the
quotations on all grades of sugar. This
movement of the market has been ex
pected for some time, aa the demand is
now very great on account -of the can
ning season being in full swing.
Dressed Hoge and Teal Ass JXlrhe.
, During the week the scarcity of both
dressed hogs and yeat caused the pricea
on, both products , to advance Ho a
pound, the new quotation being 8c. Re
ceipts this week of both hogs anij veal
are much, below those of the former
week and' the demand coptinued very
heavy.
- Colttlra. Bark Za Ball sad Lower. ;
Up to the" first of the week there waa
a fight on between, the local buyera of
chlttlm bark and aoma of them were
paying as high ss Ho. while the high
est offers for. which . they could aell
their stocks in the esat was about the
aame figure. Later on the dealers eased
up in their buytngs and the result waa
that prices dropped down to 6c as the
buying figure,' During the week several
carloads were shipped to eaatsrn medi
cine houses. 1 .
Xrr Situation a Complicated Ose.
With the receipts in eggs generally
showing ap increase and the - demand
somewhat smaller the egg altuatlon Is s
complicated one, but no cbangea were
made in the pricea The market Is
weaker, however, snd stands equally be
tween atationary and lower flgurea
All through the week there waa a
good demand for all sorts of poultry,
with Hie exception ofg-eu. Slid Uib c
celpts were very small. At the close of
the week the market had practically
cleaned up, but no, higher valuea ruled.
Japanese endijux Orders for Fiona. '
: Orders for flour are now being re
ceived by the local mlllera from Japan,
but they are In sofw atralts for vessela
In which to ship, ss the orders call for
Immeoiale delivery. During; the week
there was alao an Increase In the busi
ness from China and the entire market
looks firmer, with no changea in values.
' - Blew Wheat Xs Coming' ta Slowly.
- New wheat- of nil gradea ia coming
Into market very slowly, but consider
able buying haa been done by the
muiera at aavanoea n surra. ine ' im
provement In the markets in the east
and In Europe caused a better feeling
here and the higher values resulted with
a better flour -demand. ,
Sop Contrast Xade at Bl Casta.
A contract at 21c a pound was made
for 80S bales of the 1904 crop during
ths week. This la the highest price
paid this season for hops and reflecta
the better' tone of ths market. No aales
of 1808 stocks were reported during the
week. , - .....
Csbbag's Was Tory Boaroe.
There was a great acarclty of cabbage
In the markets this week snd pricea
moved higher.'. New potatoes' of good
quality are not coming fast enough for
the demand and valuea are firmer.
Onlona are coming so fast that some of
the cheSper grades are selling as low aa
26e a box.- Some very nice stocks came
from Hood River and aold at 11.25.
With a larger aupply both watermelons
and cantaloupe are lower. Peaches of
good quality ars not arriving fast snd
ths market remains good. Green corn
of . the beat grade ta scarce and prices
are up. Bot oranges and lemons of the
better quality are scare. Cherries have
practically cloaed their season and the
few remaining atocks are In bad condi
tion, but are finding a amall sale at Re.
Tomatoes-are tn too large supply and
pricea srs lower.

market. The opening, waa-weak oa further
liquidation, but the wheat aeemed to ba well
takea and moat of tb early lose was re
gained. Adrlcee from the northweat crop are
of the same general character, but tb market
la getting uned to It s little and the mod
erate atatement put out by Joaea yeaterday
made, a rather .more conservative .eetlwate of
condition. Northweat adrlcee will continue to
i the principal Induenc far the time be
ing. - While the aiarket haa a big advance we
hardly feel like getting brarlab antll the
newa ta neunite lor-tuar. aectlun. fencing

Inclined to think we would buy wheat oa

the corn waa well bouibt and the earlr lne.
wae-reealned. - Receipt about the aame and
caab demand fairly good,.' Crop gdvicee are
aatlafacbiry except that tbe general adinla-
Ion Is that warmer weather would be as

Mew York,- Aug. Cotton oil proved

movement. . Steel preferred displayed
an-advanclng tendency In the early trad
ing and hold ita advantage. Ths de
monstratlon in augar . proceeded with
predictlona of much higher prices in tbe
course ef the coming week. Of the
rallroada. the southern snd aouthweat
ern Issues were most In favor and of
these Texas A Pacltlo took . a leading-
position. Nervousness in the grain
marketa and realisation of the exagger
ated atorlea regarding wheat, , which
price broke heavily, did' not fall pf ef
feet upon aentlment ' -.'

. Foreign advices gavs the" market for
aecuritiea eonalderable flrmneaa. both
domestlo and foreign rallroada oa the
London exchange being active and
atrong. There waa no change in the
war situation to act as an influence.
Continued anxiety being prevalent In 8t,
Petersburg aa to the fate of the Rua-
alan forces was not new while, if any
thing, aentlment was suatatned by the
Tact that the Japaneae had made auch
progress that a double victory was be

Iwii Makes BUra Mwoord.
" Sugar made a new high record for ths
week and cotton oil was advanced up
amartiy. There .were a few good ad
vancea In the specialties, but those in
the leading rallroada were confined to
small fractlona. Practically ail the
optlona broke aharply at the opening of
the wheat marker this morning snd
even the grasshoppera in Kanaaa. ac
cording to veracloua chronicles, did not
prevent a reaction. Much Interest la
manifested In the strike, or lockout, of
the. building, tradee employee. The In-
dlcatlons point to a general atrike likely
to be continued Indefinitely. Labor
news front all aectlona la not reasaurlng.
The weather map thla morning waa not
especially good, but It did not Indicate.
any harm to the Browing cropa. . Per
haps the most Important matter in the
market thin morning waa the continued
strength of American sugar refining
stock. American locomotive made a fair
aava nee and ateei preferred was' firm
at higher pricea " . - .
The rise In sterling exchange to
64.0614, the top Hsure.of the year, made
larger gold ahlpmenta on Tuesday seem
probable. Thla altuatlon had no appar
ent effect on stocks. Wall afreet is
prepared to aee 810.000.000 to 616,000.

Big;, Demand for renaaylvanla.
' The big demand for Pennsylvania at
a stout advance over yesterday's clos
ing price is explained by Its friends as
a development of a digestion of its
recent report j ...
There waa not much In the way of
news to stir speculation. Wheat, de
clined over a cent snd than rallied par
tially. Americana In London were
ateady and consols made a farther
recovery. The bank atatement was an
Indifferent affair. Loans decreased fl,-
861,200 and there waa an Increaas of
1181.200 in cash and fSlS-,260 In sur
plus reserve. Ths bank return attracted
very little attention. Soma Increase in
cash waa .somewhat of a disappointment
Through the small addition of the sur
plus reserves the exceaa of the banks Is
ralaed to $56,108,860, the highest point
of the year. There were some in the
financial district today who Inclined to
the belief that the top notch- had been
reached and that a retrograde may aoon
be looked for. This opinion was bssed
on ths gold movement 1

ing. Juat about dusk, he discovered a
young robin floundering about on Ala .
lawn. lt was unable io fly, andihad evl- .
dently fallen from Ita neat. Fearing that
the cata might devour It In the night.
Mr. Fox took the bird tq the rear of bis
yard, where he has a couple of guinea
pigs in an Incloaure covered with a wire
screen. He placed the young robin in '
the pen. While dreasing the next morn
ing he looked out of his window and wsa
amaaed at the actions of a couple of
aparr0ws,whd were carryfng'wormiror"
the young robin. They would fly awsv.
only to return a few momenta later with
worms, which they proceeded to drop
through the screen Into the unturned
-mouth of the captive. They kept this
performance ap until the robin was
liberated, and even then they continued
to hover around like . self-constituted
guardians. . '',
