Coming Dut Cannot Be Accepted Run Still Very Light. Portland wholesale markets: Great, demand for Columbia salmon. Oregon strawberries are firm. Carload Los Angeles berries. . Creamery butter price advanced. Cherry market la lower. Hop buying la continued. Dressed tneate in steady demand. Eggs are firm at He today. Spring ducks are wanted. , Potato trade la very good. - Asparagus Is very scarce again. Great Dtmand for Colombia Salmon. It Is now. generally expected that fmAtifntf nrinAft nn Columbia river canned aalmon will not be announced until the latter part of the month. Demand ror canned fjsh Is the greatest In the his tory of the Columbia Industry. For some time packers have had orders for more than they expect o puck even un der, the mora favorable conditions, but despite thla orders ontlnuo to come, and are tiist aa nuicUlv turned dwn, ' Every day adds to tho irnith of the canned' aalmon market- necaase or tne very small supplies leniulnlnd unsold 01 any graae. Pure rood Jdaw Zs Help. In the demand and market for Co lumbla river canned salmon the preaen season, the national pure, foods law will Firove to be a great factor. For years t has been the custom of some of the northern packers to put Columbia river labels on other fish, and the result has been that the quality has not always been up to the strict one that Columbia river packers have set in years gone oy. The pure food law will stop this prac tice, and It will likewise cause a dis crimination between, the price of spring and rail packs. Salmon JTsws Prom Wew fork. Mall advices from New York give the following views on the tinned alnon situation as far as It has to ;io with the Columbia chlnook: "It waa generally expected that open ing prices on the jprhur pack of Co lumbia river chlnook salmon would be made early this week, but It is now un likely that they will be announced mucn before the end of the month. The pack from the beginning of the. reason ou April 15 to the present time has been very small, a few zdrlnads at the most, as the run of fish has been light and Slves no evidence of Increasing. The isposltlon among the packers Is to wait until they have some stock on hand before putting out prices. It is under stood that the number of orders booked subject to approval or prices is as large as in previous years, ana mat in some quarters there has been a disposition shown to increase quantities, but wheth er these orders will be confirmed when the prices are made will depend alto gether upon what the prices are. Thero has been talk of an advance of 10c a dosen over the opening figures of 1907, but the coosenstis of opinion among Job bers and brokers Is that thla Is not a year when an advance In price will be accepted readily by the distributing trade or consumers, and If the packer find it necessary to raise their quota tions there is likely to be a considerable scaling down of advance orders when confirmations are sought by the sellers. In spot Columbia river salmon the sup ply, except of half pounds, Is light. The carry over of the latter Is said to be large; mainly as a result of the poor quality of a good deal of thej fish that was put into half pound enns last year. Holders are represented to be very anx ious to reduce their stocks and are mak ing prices on It which.. In some In stances at least, represent a consider able loss. The concessions made, how ever, fall to stimulate the consuming demand. If there is any advance in prices on this season's pack It i ex tremely doubtful that half pounds will participate in It. Spot rod Alaska sal mon Js moving steadily Into consump tion on small orders, but prices show a wide range as to seller and brand. Of ferings at the Inside quotation of $1.80 are comparatively small, the more gen eral quotations cm well known brands being $1.32V4&U.35, w hile up to 11.37 Vi la -asked on some holdings." Carload Log Angela strawberries In. A carload of strawberries came In from Los Angelea this morning, and was promptly unloaded along the street. The shipment consisted of half pound boxes, which sold at $1.26 per crate of 16 boxes. Express shipments of California strawberries were rather light, owing to the rains, and the market held well. Oregon strawberries were in slightly better supply, with better quality snow ing. Trade Is good around 1212tac a box. Eggs Are Tlnn at 1 Cents. Receipts of eggs were quite fair to day along Front street, but demand Is lberal and the price Is holding strong Siting ducks are coming in slightly better supply, but demand Is good and prices are maintained. Spring chick ens are likewise .coming mora freely, with 'the market steady at unchanged figures. The regular chicken market Is holding its own. Dressed meats are only In fair supply t this time, and former prices are be ing maintained. Pair Boring of Hop Continued. During the past 24 hours aulte number of sales of hops were reported by local and Balem dealers. Generally is here, the outside trade alleging that it can scarcely interest lta connections In hops at this time owing to the large supplies held by owners and the rapid frowth of the prohibition movement, radically all the business la for the best grade, of which only a small amount Is available for the market juat now. Brief Vote of the Trade. Cherries are lower, with larger sup dies from the south. Ripe tomatoes are scarce, but the market has fair supplies of green stock from Mexico, Asparagus is very scarce again be cause or ine umavoraoie weamer. -rice the same. ' Trade In the potato market at thla time Is very good, but dealers are buy ing mostly on orders Just now. All of them agree that present conditions are too risky to Indulge in too heavy pur chases. Shipments of peas from- The Dalles are Increasing, and so Is the quality. Price holding on thla account. Wool and mohair markets continue nominal, with views of buyers and deal ers even more strained than a week ago. Front street sells at the following prices.

The cattle market is already show ing signs of future price decay, and for anything but the best steers the price may oe considered zsc lower lor me day. It Is the scant supply in the yards that haa kept the cattle market from showing further depressions in value during the past week, and when the expected Increase materialises i( Is quite likely that the price will act ac cordingly. The fact that not a single head of Sheep arrived in the Portland market during the past 24 hours bad no visible eriect upon prices in the yards toaay, except perhaps to keep the market from falling entirely to pieces. Best wethers dropped as low as $4 in the yards to day, although the top price for the day waa tne same as yesterday. Trie mar ket is still full of sheep and low values are expected by the trade ror a wniie. After the present cleanup the market may do better. Hogs are showing firmness, with no arrivals for the day. The eastern mar ket Is not disposed to drop very much; In fact, it regains the next day what it losea on the former occasion. A year ago today all lines were weak, following the general decline of 26c in hogs, cattle and sheep on Monday, a similar amount being cut from the price for this day in 1907. Today 10 horses were among the day's arrivals In the yarda. Official yard values today: - Hogs Best stuff, $6.25(86.85: China fats, $6.00 & 6.25; feeders, $5.00 6.25.

There Is practically no Wil lamette valley wheat to be had at any price lust now. according to E. X. Harding of the Gaston Milling company. Mr. Harding was a visitor on the board of trade tofay. Only a small amount of any sort o( wheat la In the hands of small growers, but the larger growers are still holding out for higher prices. There Is only a scant supply of bluestem remaining in any hands, and it is doubtful if No. 1 stock could be obtained much under the dollar mark. In fact, the offer for 200 tone of No. 1 bluestem made several days ago on the board has not yet been filled. Receipts of produce at Portland dur ing the 24 hours ending 11 a. m. today were: 65 bokes asparagus. 68 boxes apple, 12 boxes beans, 1 package beer, 103 boxea butter, 14 boxes clams, 54 cases cheese, 62 boxes cherries, 36 coops chickens, 3.09-4 gallons cream, 4 boxes crabs. 1 coop ducks, 218 cases eggs, 1 case egg plant, 38 sacks oysters, 55 boxes and sacks peas, 1 crate raspber ries, 86 boxes rhubarb, 614 crates Cali fornia strawberries, 98 crates Oregon, 62 veal. !. 10 CENTS LOWER TODAY San Francisco.

AT FLUSH OF SEASON At the flush of the season and when the production of butter Is showing Its greatest lncreaae Is the period when several city creameries have chosen to ad vance the price to 15c a pound. While the production of butter is now greater than at any time this season, there Is a very liberal demand from Alaska. Several of the outside cream eries stat they have more but ter than they can sell and are not inclined to follow the ad vance very close. While sll city creameries are not quoting the rise today, most of them will 4 likely do so tomorrow morning. 4 : LATEST NEWS OF OREGON CROPS NORTHWEST WEATHER FORECAST.
