"For lsrge-slsed veal the.e Is
a very alow demand ruling at

some lower prlcea are frequently

Cebbag s Market Goes to Smash.
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.

Portland Union Stockyards, Oct. 21
There was a firm tone today In all
lines except steers. Cowa are In es
pecial good call at this time and prices
are being easily maintained. 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.
Tlfe sheep market is very firm; the
tone Is strengthening under stress of
very light arrivals. Prices aro main

It was a case of the trado getting
too bullish all at once, for the market

a Inrge per cent of the reaction today.

It will nut b long off the press before

It. and toe little boys will be whistling

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.
