Mop Market About Cleaned Up.
1 la this state at the present time there
fcle only about J,6o to 4.000 bales of
lions reihnining . unsold Tn th-bami
of the producer, while about 1,000 bales
are yet unsold In the hands of buy
ers. Taking all available supplies in
night, there are but about 6,000 bales
of Imps In this market of the 10S crop
unmildr both dealers' and- growers
band. . There are nearly this same
amount of hops remaining tn the vart
" mi warehouses in dealers'-names, but
" practically every tale of these are
owned bv brewers or eastern buyers
ind sr awarMng-dellvery. lhe hop
market la showing a much Improved
tone and those growers who have not
vet sold are moving up their asked
prices. The present price of hops Is
"?o lowlhat almost every trader Is will
. Ing te speculate on the future of the
market.- There Is every possibility that
i he crop the -omlng -season, tn Europe
iUJiot-J)eBcarly..rbat was produced
the past season, and up to this season
there have "been practically no carry
- over stocks lor several years on ac
count of the shortage and high prices
hat have prevailed. .
Potatoes Still Storing Eastward.1
' Quite a few cars of Oregon -potatoes
"are stilt moving eastward. Orders from
the middle west and the far south con
tinue to come, but dealers are not ac
cepting nearly all of tnemon account
" nf the prices offered. Stocks-are harder
' 4o obtain than a week ago. as some pro
ducers are getting excited and are
liolding for an advance. According :o
Information received by The Journal
today the present : price- of potatoes in
tnot parts of the east Is around 70
cents a bushel. With the high freight
-chargen-frotn this section this will not
allow the buyers to' pay a handsome
price for their supplies In fact, at the
present values in the east, the margin
Is very .close.-- The expectation of an
advance there has caused the numerous
inquiries. .-
Better Otitlook U Onion Market.
There la at yet no change In onion
-prices In this market." Supplies rtre
quite liberal, both here tand In- Cali
fornia, They are, however, not so great
s the -trade- has beem -led -to believe,
and the knowing ones expect an ad
vance In the near future. .
' A ear of cabbage- and cauliflower was
in from the south this morning. Good
shape. Prices up.
Two cars of bananas In very good
Khape were unloaded on the street this
. .morning . r- ' -.
..- The W. B. Glafke company late yes
terday afternoon received the first crate
of anparagus from Walla Walla. Fine
. stuff. Price obtained in the neighbor-
hood of J2.60 for the shipment.
v zrr steady wit outside cau.
There-Is again -an outside call for
eggs and the market la considerably
" firmer, with most of the sales reported
' today around Hti cents, with a few
': hslf a cent lower. 8upplles are still
very good. .
ChiiTcens are but slightly more plen
. tlful, but at the recently declined prices
. nil arrivals move off quite well. Best
demand continues In - uprlngs, with
-some call "for ducks and geese, N r-
rivals of note In the latter two. Some
' turkeys will likewise find call.
- The tone in the real market is sllcht-
Jy firmer, with receipts today not so
heavy. Ther "was a better demand
tdiown this morning and prices held
rather good, at the printed figures.
Scarcely any dressed hogs sre now
- being received in the market. - Demand
"the best in recent days. Prices O. K.
-Dressed mutton Is very slow in com
ing. Some call at the price quoted by
The Journal

TIPS ON MARKETS
By- W. H. Dryer of
w j., O Malley A Co.
Dryer. .. 4
I think that there will be quite
liberal .movement of Oregon
potatoes to the - middle west at
present prices. If- the growers do
not get excited and demand
higher figures they will be able
to dispose of practically all the
cheaper stock they have to the
ensU If they should hold they
U1 likely find thai other places
on the Paclflq coast and even the
east have potatoes to spare at
an advance. The floods in Cali
fornia wiU not likely create any
demand for seed potatoes be
cause most of the growers there
have already purchased tha
larger potatoes on account of the
cheap price. r- .
Some day tha trade will wake
-. Bed the -euovlieaof onions..
4 have been exhausted . and then
prices will rise very rapimy. v
When this wUI occur is the
mystery. -At present supplies e
look liberal enough.. ' '. " '

Address.
Mellen of the New Haven road. Rail
road officials of tha aaat and wast, ac
cording to advtoea received from varl-
Loue cities, admit that tha i-cent fare la
bound aooner or later to become uni
versal, and they ara only hoping tha
day of Ita general adoption will be de
layed aa long aa possible.
Tha abolition of passes and the be
lief that X cants la enough for most of
tha railroads east of tha Mississippi to
charge are tha two atrongest Influences
In th propagation Of the movement.
Many railroad officials themselves be
lieve they must offer the lower fsre In
order to meet tha competition that la
developing from tha spread of Interur-
ban electrlo lines all over tba coun
try. . The action of tbe rallroada on tha
mileage book question la tba demand for
a I-cent far.
"In "New York fully a dosen bills have
been Introduced Into tha legislature
looking to the enforcement of a z-cent
faro. On bill provldea for a m -cent
fare. In Maasachusettg. Connecticut
and Rhode Island tbe legislature prob
ably will take no action on account of
tha action of President Mellen.
Governor Handy of Indiana la deter
mined that tha next legislature, whether
It ba a regular or a special session, shall
enact a s-cent fare bill Into law. Candt
datea throughout the. state for repre
sentative and senator are being pledged
on the question in advance.
' The state of Iowa Is also moving
ard S-cent fare eMlrm There L
also a bill In that state asking for the
abolition of passes to candidates for
office, delegates to conventions, and to
members of political committees.
Tha temper of Wisconsin is for a, re
duction. Had th governnr'a call per-
mi t ted It a t-cent fare bill would have
been rushed through tha Pennsylvania
legislature thla session. . Such a meas
ure wiU be Introduced at ths next aes-
In Virginia a bill has been Introduced
requiring S-cent fares, and It Is believed
will become a law. The fight la also on
in -Maryland.-- In Illinois- the railroad
commission recently reported In favor
of a reduction, but action waa postponed
pending a further Investigation.'
Agitation In .Nebraska has become so
strong that the .question Is almost cer
tain to be an Issue In 'the. next atate

HEILIG IS OFFERED FOR r
SALE, SUBJECT TO LEASE
The Helllg theatre at Fourteenth arid
Washington streets was placed on th
market for sale today by Walter Moore,
president of the Oregon Savings ft Trust
cempany. which recently secured an op-
tion on the property. The sale. If made,
win be subject to the lease given Mr.
Helllg by lha Belaaco people, the origi
nal owners. The property Is held at
more- than tls.ee. .
Mr. Moore secured a verbal option
on the theatre some time ago and
nearly closed a deal for' the aale of It
for $116,000. When the transaction was
ready to be closed, the owners refused
to recognise the option and the sale '
was defeated. After a lease on the build-
Ings was given to Calvin 8.-Helllg for
five years for use as ths Some of the K3aw
ft Erlanger attractions, Mr. Moore again
succeeded In securing an option for the .
purchase of -the property, but at a figure
considerably higher than tha one named
In the first transaction. '
"We nro advertising the property for
sale today." gsld Mr. Moore,, when seen
this morning. -"We have no prospective
buyer in view Just now. but propose
to see what can bo done with ttitt -theatre.
Of course, the sale will hava "
no effect upon the theatre to be openetl
by Mr. Helllg. Ha haa his lease ami V
any sale will be subject to the terms
of that" - - : . .- -. ; -
Fml of the Cow-Tree.
From the Philadelphia Press. '
Numerous incisions in the cow-tree,;
which grows abundantly along ths
northern declivities of the Andes aa
well as In other parte of South America
proclaim the usefulness of this remark
able plant to natives and travelers of .
those regions. To be supplied with a
fluid containing all the properties of
animal s milk without having to take a
cow Into the jungles is a wonderfuT pro
vlslon of nature, appealing specially to
the city-bound who are dependent upon
Inferior dairies.
This curious milk, which Is most .
pleasant to the taste, possesses all the
distinguishing qualities of cow's milk.
It la a little thicker. than the latter,
mixes easily wltir water, and when al- ,
lowed to stand a creamy substance rises
to the surface. -When boiled it does
not coagulate, but a skim forma lust '
aa It does on cow's milk. If exposed to .
the air, It acqulrea an unpleasant smell
similar to that of sour milk, but it may
be kept In the air for sometime without
change by the addition of a few drops
of acid. It will not decompose If placed
In a crystal-stoppered bottle, but will
only thicken, after which it may be re- ;
duced to Its former consistency . by .
adding; a -bottle of .water. :. -

"Your mustache told me," he barber -
anawered. "Men's mustaches always tell ;
me which side they sleep on.-"For the ' .

more uneven on the side that Is crushed
