ITS THE SMALL VEAL THAT FINDS DEMAND "For lsrge-slsed veal the.e Is a very alow demand ruling at this time, and for that reason some lower prlcea are frequently mads by receivers In order to unload and keep the market In os healthy a condition as pos sible. Small alses are In de mand at the prices quoted. For dressed hogs block signs there continues a very good call, al though once In a while a sals Is made a fraction lower If the re ceiver has liberal arrivals." B. W.

It seems that nothing can stop the cabb.ige market from touching the low est figures over reached on the Pacific coast. Biipplleii this year are fully four times the normal output while demand Is about as usual. For thin reason cab bage is going begging with growers very willing to accept $10 to S 4 a ton for the bent quality ever produced on the Pacific coast. Cabbage Ih selling along Front street in n limited way from to to 1c a pound, with most sales at the lower point. Bauer kraut manu facturers have, filled themselves up wiin cannsge until titey can purchase no more. Their rapacity to manufac ture kraut baa been lynched and then too they experience much difficulty In obtaining barrels. Thin will llkelv cause very low prices to rule on kraut this year unless the demand Is much larger than usual. Of Ute years sailer krnut prices have been very high be cause of the enormous values ruling on cubbage. Boms Pa Advance for Spuds. The potato market Is In verv firm shape, both for local anil outside busi ness. Shipping demand from California and Arizona la Increasing anil fur this reason dealers are sometimes willing to pay a fractional advance over ihe form er figures for extri fancy quality. The same old trouble of a car shortage la holding back shipments to a great ex tent but this may prove the salvation of the market after all inasmuch ns It will keep shipments down to n figure that there will be little chance of overload ing the mark't In the near future With small arrivals In the south prices will hold very stiff. Tins Apples Corns to Market. Ths arrivals of apples arc showing mucn neuer quality as tno season progresses. From ilond Hlver UiIn morning some very choice Jonathans were received from Cnlon people and they found a ready demand around 12 a box. Four cars of bananas wero unloaded In very gend condition this morning. Price as usual. Nuts of ail kinds are arriving quite freely with sale quite fair, but not , tip to the average mi account nf the very stiff prices ruling in most lines. Growers Feeding- ths Hop Market. Growers seem unusually anxious to feed the hop market at this time and are offering twice as manv bales as shorts are willing to buy even at the present low range of values. The re port that Cnrmli'hael took on a lot of extra fine quality on the west side Hat urday had a somewhat quieting effect upon the nerves nf the anxious sellers and this morning they did not crowd the shorts so badly to buy. A prom inent buver In speaking of this said: "The growers can hope for no Improve ment In hop values as long as they al low i nc snort sellers to till their con tracts at whatever prices they choose to offer. Instead of making the shorts come to tin in to purchase they are ac tually telephoning and telegraphing the bears to come and get their Imps. Any man who sells hops under loo a pound this season Is losing the amount be tween that sum and the one he re ceives." Brief JTotes of ths Trade, Fish markets arc well supplied with salmon both from the Cnlsmhln river and coast streams hut demand Is slow because of the warm weather. Higher prices are ruling for old hcAs because of the better ilcrtinnd. hut mixed lots are holding unchanged, though quite steady. Turkeys are finding more active call at the values previously quoted. Large slsed veal are not very firm but small ones are still In good request Fgg market Is holding at former prices. Butter Is steady but unchanged. Chittlm bark Is unusually slow with former prices maintained. Manufac turers are buying sparingly. Front street prices: trraln, Flour and Feed.

The lack of call for steers la caused by the great amount of contract stuff coming. Hogs are holding unusually well for this time of year, all arrivals being picked up at the values quoted. Us unally at this time of year hogs arc weak, but packers are forced to pay up this year because of the small supplies and large demand.

Copies will be dis tributed all along the coast and placed on siile where tlu-y will do the carnival the n.ost good. Slg. De Caprio did himself proud when he led the nrc.lt Sousa band at the Ar morv Saturday night, and the fact that the audience would not be appeased without a da capo, notwithstanding the long program before them, immediately placed the stamp nf public approvsl upon the work that had occupied no little amount of Slg. De Caprio's time. An Idea of what work had to be put I down In nrd r to place the piece before a band of the Sousa magnitude might i ne faintly understood when It Is said I that in tin- first place a full instru- me-itntlon had to be arranged and then eix'iigh copies made to supply each per former. For Instance, there were about jii clarinet parts, some with variations enough to make the copyist dlisy, and then 30 or more other parts, from pic colos and oboes down to the sousaphone, th - big belled bass, and the piano score for the harpist. Slg. Dc Caprio Is said to be one of very lew nand masters ever accorded ine honor of wielding the baton before the acknowledged peer of all bands, while the man who brought It out and .made It famous formed one of the vast audience. A clrcu'ajr letter containing a larga amount nf daia concerning timber and lumber values and the proposed in crease of the transcontinental freight rate on Pacific northwest lumber haa b-en compiled bv Victor L. Beckman, Of Seattle, and copies sent to every congressman anj senator. The purpose of tho document Is to convince tho members that an amend' ment to tho Interstate commerce law should be Immediately adopted that Will compel the railroad companies to firit submit nil proposed freight rats In creases to the Interstate commerce com mission and secure its approval befora such Increases can be put Into sffect. Bat la Xllliaa- Buslnssa.- It Is shown that under the law aa It now stands the lumber manufactur ing Industry of the Pacific northwest, and every other productive Industry, la at the mercy of the railroad freight rate makers, and that the railroads can at will appropriate any part or all of the manufacturer's profits, or crush out any line of Industry that they do not desire to encourage. The lumber mills of Oregon and Washington are rapidly shutting down as a result of the pro posed increase, which will go Into ef fect November 1. The advance In freight rates amounts to about 26 per cent, and Is claimed to be greater than the entire profit now realised by the lumber mills on their export product. The author of the, Beckman circular estimates that It will add about $70 to the cost of building an average cottage for a worklngman In the middle west. The data given shows comparative freight charges Imposed on lumber ton nage from the south, from the pactno northwest and from Wisconsin and Michigan mills to points In treeless re gions all over the country, and It la shown that the charges for carrying Pacific northwest lumber are In nearly every Instance more than double the charge on southern and northern lum ber. Katf ntci Kallroad's ArgTunenta. This condition the Pacific northwest mlllmen have been able to combat aue cessfully owing to the lower price of timber here, but they allege that If tha rate Is further Increased they will b practically shut out of middle weat ter ritory. It Is further shown that the empty car haul on transcontinental railroads H less than on any of the railroads In the more populated eastern states, and that the net earnings of the transcon tinentals for the last year were greater In proportion to cost of operation and maintenance than on the eastern rail roads. That every leg that the railroad ratemakers have stood upon In forcing the advance Is struck from under them Is the claim of the mlllmen, and they do not believe congress can withstand the force of the argument that tha law should provide the desired protection, from the greedy railroad managers. DOMESTIC TE0UBLE L FEANKLIN CASE Variety is tho spice of Ilfo, It Is snld, and from the reports of the rob beries made this morning and yesterday tho police are more than convinced that this little saying Is quite true. That some of the thieves nre most fastidious In their tastes Is conceived from the fact that among other things reported as missing Is a sealskin coat, gone to gether with the delicate odor of sachet powder. Half a dnaen solid silver spoons are also gone but from another home. Then n watch was taken from a room In a hotel which leads the police to believe that possibly some one Is figuring on starting up in the Jewelry line. And then grips, a violin, bank books, find Just common old razors were on the list this morning which helps to keep the detective force busy. W. M. Chapln reported that his home nt 20 Meade street had been entered. a trunk broken Into and a sealskin coat together with n valuable old violin taken. The robbery was committed while the occupants were absent. Someone who Is fond of shaving him self or other people, or perhaps lust because he wanted to steal, entered the, barber shop of L.

McMillan waa tha first witness for the government Ha testified to having received the letters and to turning them over to the postal authorities. Back of the case seems to He a story of domestic difficulties. McMillan tea tlfied that Franklin had written many letters to Mrs. McMillan, urging har to leave her home and come to him. As a result of this there was no lova lost between the men, and at last when Mrs. McMillan did leave home, her husband turned the letters received from Frank lin over to the postal officials.

The factories are away behind with their orders, the wholesale houses have sold more than they can deliver, and there Is no Indication of a business slump or stringency. "I heard a few comments In eastern wholesale houses about the flurry In New York, but nobody seems to take it seriously, and they do not believe it amounts to anything more than ir Wall street disturbance.
