Egg Producers, Suffer Be
cause They Believe Val
ues Would Go Higher.
By Hyman II.- Cohen.
False report regarding market condi
tions and prlcea aa Hated by a looal
paper were entirely responsible for the
ragged condition of the Portland egg
market during- the past week and will
very likely have its effect upon price
making In that line during the coming
W4s,
For eomj time It has been the purpose
01 oertain interests to Doom values on
local 1 egg. These Interests were in
variably heavy purchasers of eastern
era and their whole purpose was to
the Oregon producer to hold back
la supplies with the expectation of
higher values and thus cause an ad
vance In price, due to a temporary scar
city.
All this time the production of eggs
was Increasing all over the valley, but
nevertheless the plan was successful, In
asmuch as there was a temporary ad
vance in egg prices and in this way the
Interests sold a considerable amount of
eastern stock at highly advanced "figures
which thejr would have been unable to
do at this time had it not been for the
fictitious quotations sent out -Beputatlon
of Eggs Sained.
However, this was not all. In the
general Dlan for the boosting of local
egg values and thus force up the price
or eastern stock here in sympatny. me
false reports caused producers and
country store keepers to hold their ship
ments so long that when the eggs ar
rived In Portland a large per cent of
them were not In the best snaps ana
frequent candling was resorted to by the
more careful of the commission trade
in order not to drive away their regu
lar customers.
Of course, sales of strictly fresh can
died stock were made at fairly good
piioes, but considering the small amount
of this stock available the higher price
was then Justified. However, the ma
jority of the receipts were not even of
rair quality ana ine traae Knows wnai
that means. A large amount of the ar
rivals were entirely worthless because
of their long-keeping snd this caused a
further loss to confiding producers and
shippers who Bctually believed the egg
market was advancing while their hens
were producing more than ever.
Baatera Eggs fee ore rreferenee.
For the first tlmtrMn the history of
the local market, eastern eggs were con
sidered as good. If not superior to the
local ranch eggs. This happened during
the past week. The cause of this was
the unusual heavy supplies of poor
local eggs as a result of the holding far
advanced figures. Although the eastern
eggs were cold storage stock, they were
candled carefully before and after leav
ing storage and, of course, they were of
unirorm quality.
The loss to Oregon egg producers aa
a result of their holding for advanced
figures despite the tendency of the mar
ket to drfm will reach thousands of dol
lars and perhaps more than that. In a
sense It has given the big eastern egg
concerns the chance they wanted to
prove to the local trade that they had
the best quauty on earth. It .was a
carefully arranged plan and worked to a
charm as far as the eastern people were
concerned. To the local egg producer It
means loss of trade and prestige In hjs
own market. ,

There was a famine of dressed veal

Keceipts or nvesioca in tne local
yards were very similar to those of the
previous week, both In Quality and ouan
tlty. There was a fractional decrease
tn the run of hogs from the small ar
rivals of the previous six days and this
helped to hold the tone wonderfully
strona for thjs time of year. Total ar
rivals of hogs for the week were 48 7
head against 508 head a week ago, 458
head a year ago and 141 head this same
week two years ago. Wnlie Killers com
plained to some extent over the high
prices they were forced to pay for hogs
the market was well able to hold its
own for If the big ones did not buy the
smaller killers would, and there you are.
The large packers were therefore
forced In a measure to do business wlth
nnt their ennaant for thev could never
116 I think of allowing the small men to have
ISO anything In the way of supplies If they
could help It. This forced the price to
remain around the quoted figures of the
former week; $6.60 being paid for beet
stock.
Cattle Bun Is Liberal.
There continues quite a liberal run
of cattle in the yards, but most of the
supplies are comina from far away sec
tions, nearby ranches being cleaned up
to a great extent. Run ror the week
was 1.095 head against 1,025 head a
week ago, 1,274 head a year ago and
815 for the week corresponding to this
In 1905. Cattle demand continues quite
good at $4 for best steers but there
Is some weakness shown in transactions
In cows and off erado stuff.
Sheep run was Increased somewhat
over that of the previous stx days, but
demand was sufficiently heavy to keep
the channels of trade clear without
shadlna the price In any line. Re
ceipts for the week were 2,808 head
against 2.702 head a week ago, 1,408
head a year ago and 2,835 head for the
present week two years ago.
