'UmbiA has tapered off until at the
iresent time the amount caught is so
;'mall that It does not near supply the
cal demand. The result is that cold
'Uoraga fish Is again coming on tlii
Siarket,
Supplies of Columbia river smelt are

tirade is steadier. Quite a lot of stor

" Chicken Market fast Holding.
i" If showing any change, the local

( few days ago. Bupplea are no more
Jberal than then but Uie high figures

'Jraong the larger buyers to return lo

iaore satisfactory. Along me street
.ihlckens are generally selling at lJo
!i pound wim an occasional innwuun
a fancy hens at 13c. There Is a
rreat shortage In broilers and for these
jC price Is advancing,
j Egg Market Is Steadier.
, A steadier tone is shown In the local
I'gg market. Receipts are fair but the
fade is showing a disposition to in
crease. Most of the sales reported
(long the street during the past 34
Hours were at 24c, although a slightly
lgher price and in some Instances a
ibwer figure has been noted. There Is
'till quite a good shipping demand from
he north and the market here will llke

tinues. I Creamery butter market is much
teadler all the way through. This fact
Jl evidenced by the withdrawal of a

LONDON APPLE MARKET

The London apple market Is thus re
viewed by G. W. Dennis & Sons of Co
vent Garden market:
"Since our last we have had very
little to report from this Side. With
the . exception of Nova Hcotlans there
have been very few apples on the mar
ket. We . have sold some few Cana
dian apples this week, Baldwins from
18s to 20s. and Greenings from 17s to
20s. but the latter variety was not at
all satisfactory, Deing very aun in ap
pearance. With regard to Nova Sco,
tlans we have been making from 15s
to 16s per barrel for Baldwins, 16s to
18s for Golden Russets, and lis to 14s
for Greenings, but the bulk of this
stuff Is coming forward in poor con
ditlon, being undersized and dull In ap
pearance. Maine Baldwins are selling
irom las 10 ids per Darrei.
"Newtowns watsonvilles have been
selllntr at 6s to 8s 6d for the four-tier.
and 6s to 7s for the 4. For Oregons
the top price obtained haa been 14s per
dox. duc mere nas Deen a lot 01 infe
rior quality stuff here, realizing from
8s to 8a 9d per box, 4 and 14 -tier.
"There is a lack of good aDnles urmn
this market, tha great bulk of present
arrivals being very poor atuff, and
prices have been very unsatisfactory
ccoraingiy. ini marxet is in good
haDe. and for anything of ttD-too ouai-
lty good prices can be obtained."
