Hop aalea at low fig-urea. lead Votatoea U Demand. At thla writing there la a very fair demand for eeod potatoes. A larger per cent of the call la from the soutn and the principal demand la for ear y varieties. American Wonders are in best request but for the Early Rose the hicheat Drlce la being offered. For the latter the price la 80fl90o f. o. t. thts city. whlra American Wondera are being purchased oy snippers aruunu incra i iuiuwiii v - ... rTTegular potato shipments, although the market cannot be aald to be strong, i no tone Is steadier than ror eome time ana quite a few cnrlots have been moved by shippers during tne past any r TrlrA t i-nunirv nolnta range between 0ftsoc nrr uo-nounda. although there are reports or ooe Deing psia iur uiiit- ItAlng select to nil a special gteedy Tone In Onion. There Is a ateadler tone In the onloil (market locally with the California mar ket holding unchanged. While front Istreet Is not buying any great quantity or onions owing to me miner mm upplies along that thoroughfare, nip pers sre taking a few cars with the price generally around $2.25. There seems aome mystery regarding the arrival of the Jap onions on the sound, for quotations from there are hard to get; In fact, local shippers have been trying to obtain prices for sev eral days without avail. Batter Market Holds Stiff. On account of the larger demand there Is a rather stiff tone In the local butter market. Creameries here report the output fully up to tho supply and few of them have any second grade rresh stock for sale. This fact alono shows the true strength of the present knarket. Various prices continue to ruie for ordinary outside butter, but the best product Is holding rather well, most of It being sold around city cream ery figures. fni i . ji.nAi.rlnn n ..l one- Infl t J nero is a. uim'iwi trade to bo rather bearish on eggH. Owing to very liberal supplies retailers sro tne rounds or me vnuu " before making purchases, for It Is hard to find two dealers quoting the same figure.

When the Franklin Printing associa tion, known as the "printer's trust," holds Its regular monthly meeting to night It la expected that some of the members will bring up the subject of dissolving the organisation altogether. Reoent action tnken by the city coun cil against other local combinations, resl or alleged, and the withdrawal of mot of tho smaller printing concerns from the asupclatlon Is given by offi cers as the it-ason for the contemplated dissolution. F. W. Baltes. one of the dlrectora, salil this morning that the association had b-en practically dead for some time that except for the monthly social mo lings the Franklin association Is extinct He ssld he did not believe It would be officially dissolved, however. C. W. llodson, another member of the board of dlrectora. sail today that he was not In favor ofssolvlng the or ganisation that Its purpewe was to help the small printers and many of thejji had thought they could get along with out the help. He did not see, however, why the organisation should give up. "We hnve never tried to restrain trade." said Mr. Hodaon today. "in some cases where a man has come in to one of our offices and asked for a price on a ploco of special work we nave con-iulled the other members of the as sociation tw-fore making such a price. Bui n.ne of us has to stand by the ns scx Ut Ion's prices. It is simply a ques tion of Individual honor. We agree to do so. tiut we cannot punish If wa brenk the agreement. As for the charge that we keep the 'Independent' printers from secuilr.g stock there Is nothing In It. mow ran we dictate to the paper com panies?'' Il was admitted, however, that manv of the amall companies had either wtth druwn or hod neglectel to pay their dues ami It la the general opinion that such companies as have not paid their dues must bo dropped from the associa tion. flee first, and came at top speed to Portland. They raced to the ear line, where they all boarded the same ear for Portland. Once on the car they watched one another out of the corners of their eyes In order to anticipate any move made by the others. The five men left the car at Second and Yamhill. Then commenced a race worthy of record. They sped down the etreet and put up a close and exciting race. When they reached the land of fice all were puffing and hlowlna from tbelr unuaual exercise, but I'atterson and his cruisers beat the other two men by a sufficient margin to allow Patter son to make the first filing.

After a long Illness, the latter 'part of which was spent at the uood Samaritan hospital, he died yesterday morning. McDonald of late years gained mucn notoriety by his vocation of collecting bad bills, and became known aa the "bad bill collector of Portland." He was horn 86 rears ago on Trinidad farm. Prince Edward'e Island, Nova Bootla. In ikm he lolned a oartv bouna ror California during the time of the first gold excitement, ills party bought a vessel, loaded It witn lumuer anu iuu. It around the horrt, expecting to make a fortune out of the high-priced material. Hv tha tlma thev reached California. however, lumber had dropped In price and tha party went broke. McDonalu came to Oregon In the spring of 1862. settling on a farm In southern Oregon. Here he accumulated fortune, as fortunes went In those days. In 1866 he enlisted In the terri torial volunteers to combat the Indiana, then on the warpath, and was dajalled as a pecker. In this work he uaeo 28 mules belonging to him, which were worth at that time 8100 a head. His pack train was ambushed on the gov ernment road near Bonneville, and Mc Donald was the only survivor of his fiarty, he escaping by swimming the Co umbla river below the Cascades. He had revenge, however, as he furnt-.hed the rope with which the Indians were hanged after they had been captured following the massacre. McDonald then followed parking for a numiier of years, and often boasted that he had l!ved In Oregon for 80 yesra and never sle.it In a house durlnn that time. He llvd In Portland since 186 and began to collect had bills t the In stance of D. C. Burns, whose store he made his he idquarter.i. He possessed a remarkable memory, and It Is related of him that during his collecting he csme Into ths keeping of a couple o: sugar barrels full of old bills. He was able to tell the exact amount of any bill, and whether or not anything had been paid on It, without sorting out the barrels to find the slip of pnper. A sister. Mrs C.
