THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND,' WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1908. ' 17 TODAY'S MARKETS R G CHICKS PAY A VISIT Arrivals Are" Better With Demand Good and" Price ' ; Well Maintained. Wholesale market features. Spring chickens are coming. Strawberries: scarce and high. Cherries quits plentiful. Car IB Angeles cabbage In, Asparagus is lower? i Dressed meats slightly weaker. String beans coming faster.. . Potato market is steady. Eggs are quoted firmer. Cheese receipts are heavier. Butter market is very firm. Hop trade still at low ebb. J- Kprtug CMeksns Are Coming. There Is a slight increase In the sup plies of spring chickens In the local market at this time. The position of the market is very good; the slightly Increased un being quickly absorbed iy the trade at the prices quoted In to day's Journal. The general position Of the poultry market is quite good at these figures, although for a time last week It. looked as if a low level of values was -to rule the present ' week. The trade realises that the present price of chickens is Just, and most receivers are therefore quite willing to accept these figures at the moment.' The mar ket will stand quite a fair lot of dressed or live turkeys at this time. , Eggs Are Quoted Pinner. There is a somewhat firmer tone In the egg market at this time, and sales are being made more, easily around the prices listed here. 1 Receipts are de creased somewhat from last week,, and the call for storage is causing scant supplies along the street. Even the larger receivers are short of eggs and have been-borrowing-or buying a ease here and there from their neighbors In order to fill their orders. , Batter Going to tie Worth. . Quite heavy shipments of butter are reported moving in the direction of Puget sound cities and British Columbia, Outside creameries report many orders from these sources during the past few day's, and city ceamerles Jiave plenty of business to keep their trade price healthy. Locally the butter market is In good shape, with prices being main tained better than for some time. Cheese market continues to show In creasing arrivals, but the market re mains steady to firm at former Vices. Strawberries BtlU scarce, - Strawberries are still scarce along Front street, and the market is firm with values ruling between $2 and $2.25 for California stock. The high price Is for JeBsies and the low one for Dollars. Local berries are' showing a .'slightly Increased supply, - with quality still checking sales. During the past 24 hours some were moved at 80o a box, but most that came sold at 25c. Asparagus Zs lower. Low prices are named on asparagus v by Front street merchants. Receipts from local points on tne wesi siae, are somewhat heavier and duality is getting better. . The bulk of the local arrivals are moving at 76o per dosen ouncnes, although for a select lot as high as 80c has been obtained. Bop Trade at Xiow Ebb. While an occasional trade is still re ported in the hoo market around 8 and I Ho a pound: the market is generally considered nominal. Brewers seem to have purchased all the hops they can find warehouse room for, or spare the money to purchase, and present sales are mostly to eastern speculators who ere willing to take a chance at prevail ing low figures. Brief Betes of the Trade. Tomatoes continue very scarce. String beans are arriving somewhat more freely from California. Priced at 18c a pound. A car of cabbage arrived from tioa Angeles this morning. Best at $8. Several cars of bananas were reported in good condition today. Cherries are quite plentiful, with de mand slow around tl and 11. 50 a box. Fish run on the upper Willamette Is quite fair, but catch on Columbia is still small. .... Front street sells, at the following prices. Those oald shippers are less reg ular commissions: Orala, Hour and Bay.

McAllister was the first speaker, and he urged the election of Tom Word .for sheriff and John Man ning for district attorney; - A. King Wilson, Democratic nominee for joint representative from Clacka mas and Multnomah county, was the next speaker. He made a strong plea for his candidacy on the ground that he was making the race on a straight Statement No. 1 platform and is run ning in opposition to. C. N. McArtbur, who is opposed to Statement No. 1. The speaker contended that it Is not so much a question of the personality or the party of a legislative candidate. It was the question of whether the people should rule or the bosses should come back Into their own. The people had declared for the direct election of United States senators and the machine leaders had been attempting to make them swallow the declaration ever since that time. The present legislative fight was a fight for the right of the people to' rule. Others who made short addresses were Oglesby Toung, candidate for railroad, commissioner; Ed Cahalln, for justice of the peace; Tom Word, for sheriff; John Manning, for district at torney, and John A. Jeffrey, candidate for congressman from the second dis trict Tonight the second rally of the cam paign will be held at Lodell's hall. Sev enteenth and Thurman streets.

Senator Bourne can go to Chicago as a delegate to the national convention if he will swallow an Indorsement of W. H. Taft, If not be can sit on the bleach ers and watch Senator Fulton lead the Oregon band to the meeting plaoe. This is according to the plans of the Fulton men who have been chosen as delegates to the state convention which is to meet in the Empire theatre May 14. Fulton's friends are confident that they now have enough delegates in line to control the state convention and thetr control means a delegation to the na tional convention instructed first and laat for Taft. It also means that Charles W. Fulton Is their choice for chairman of the delegation. According to the present program the Fulton men wijl elect both Senator Ful ton and Bourne as members of the dele gation. They will instruct the delega tion for Taft and be sure that the deie- fates are men who will put Fulton at he head of the eight men as their chairman and spokesman. Senator Bourne can go along provided he will be good and not raise a rumpus. To make sure that there will be no slip the state convention will Instruct the delegation and will" see to It that the delegates are those who stay Instructed. John C. Young, manager of Senator Bourne's efforts to control the conven tion, is much disgruntled and is work ing all wires to nold Bourne's friends in the convention in line. Ih this he Is looking to W. M. Cake and H. M. Cake, chairman of the state central commit tee and senatorial randldata, for aid. If the Cakes do not deliver the convention there will be trouble from Bourne's di rection, and Cake will be Introduced to the Bourne snub when election day cornea In the meantime the friends of Ful ton and those of Bourne are working feverishly for the control of the con vention. After the convention, no mat-, ter which way the wind blows, there will be a largo rift in the Republican lute and the song of harmony will be marred with many discordant notes. - ALLEGED HORSETHIEF SENTENCED; APPEALS (Special Dispatch to Tbe Journal.
