yin account of thetinusually small ar
rivals In the local poultry market the
situation is aaining atrengtn every aay.
supplies In the Front atreet commission
liouaea are ao amall that they do not
supply more than a quarter of the
trade. It la for this reason that the
trade la again resort In to eastern
chilled stock In order to fill Its orders.
Most or the chilled atufr now being
purchased consists of geese, ducks and
turkeys, because In these lines oractlc
ally none are arriving from local placea.
Fourteen cents Is now easily obtained
by the Front street trade for fancy hens
and even mixed coops will range around
4ttc pouna.
BffTS 'st Bos roe as Xver,
No. improvement la ahown In the ar
rivals of eggs in the local market. Re
celpt are so scant that few of the
bouses have any to offer at all- Moat
of them are out of the egg business
temporarily so scarce are the stocks.
Eastern eggs are therefore finding a
brisk sail and lht ar larger wlth
drawaala of local stook from storage.
At this time of the year storage eggs
are in rirst class shape.
efardJnff the Chlttlm altnatloa.
The situation In the chlttlm bark mar
ket Is rather perplexing to the trade at
thla time. First holders or peelers are
determined to hold longer and are ask
ing from 10c to 15c a pound. Accord
ing to a firm which ships a large
amount of chlttlm annually to Europe,
the demand at this time la not so enor
mous a some mirht bellev. This firm
Is said to be offering Englishmen all
the chlttlm they want at 10c a pound
and Is receiving no orders. On the
other hand the eastern market Is ex
cited. One large eastern firm tele
graphed a local holder If be wanted to
sell his entire holdings st a certain
price above the present market and the
answer waa that the firm was still
holding for an advance.

With supplies of peaches very small,

Roseburg, Or., Sept. 17. C. O. White
of Myrtle Creek has gone to eastern
Oregon to purchase several thousand
bushels of wheat to ship to Cramer's
mill at Myrtle Creek for the pft(pose
of supplying the city with flour. He
says the wheat raisers In the Immediate

wants. He says wheat is selling every
where In Douglas county at 80 cents
and the demand is greater than the sup
ply. Consequently he Is looking else
where for wheat.

who are surveying a line of railroad
from Klamath Falls east to Lakevlew,
have lust aucceeded after four aurveys
In finding a grade of 1 per cent through

his Instructions are to finish to Lake

ARE BUYING UP ABANDONED HOP
YARDS BECAUSE OF SHORT BALE
By Hyman H. Cohen.
Short sellers of hops are buying th
abandoned yards. This Is the latest
turn' the hop market has taken and In
dicates so frantic the shorts .are now
that they are positive tnat tnere were
not enough bales of hops gathered In
Oregon, to fill the snort sales made
more than a year ago.
Latest advices state that a number
of abandoned yards In the vicinity of
Gervals have been purchased by deal
ers during th past. 48 hours, and. there
are reports of short sellers taking up
abandoned places In other sections. In
th Gervals district T. A. Llvesley &
Co. are said to.be the principal pur
chasers at this Time.
With a hop crop of slightly more
than half what the short sellers have
already sold, tbe Oregon' grower may
come into his own this'' season next
season, bis chances . look better at this
time. The fact that he would not pick
his moldy or llce-rldden yards caused a
serious deficiency In the production
from the viewpoint of the short seller,
but to the grower It may prove an unlooked-for
salvation, bringing as It
does the short seller to realise that he
cannot forever sell hops several years
ahead, of the time they are purchased
or grown.
Latest advices from the east, from
California, Washington and from Eu
rope, tell the same story of a short
production this season. Poor quality
s shown everywhere and Oregon is the
only place that picked nothing but the
best this year. This will add that much
more to Oregon's market tbe coming
season.
On account of the great scarcity of
new Choice irbods, shorts are trying to
buy some of the old holdings. In this
thev failed, for few holders of old stock
are willing to sell them, at the prices
offered, some 01 them saying tnat uiey
hardly cared to offer them at this time.
