Eggs are firm at He today.

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,

Portland Union Stockyards, May
19. 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

WHEAT SUPPLIES ARE
SCARCE III NORTHWEST
Wheat is so scarce In the Portland
market that offers to buy go unnoticed
for days. 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

BUTTER ADVANCES
. 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

Ignorance of the law excuse's no one,
but in Judge Cameron's court this
morning a case Involving this precept

cations that necessitated the court's
taking the case under advisement.
F. w Urquhart was charged by
Health Officer Pohl with violation of
the health ordinance by sending his
three children to school when they were
Infected with smallpox. The defendant
claimed that he was under the impres
sion that the children were afflicted
with bolls and had no Idea that they
had smallpox. Mrs. Urquhart was In
court and substantiated her husband's
testimony.
The case will be taken up by Judge
Cameron tomorrow morning.

Painted New Color, but
Helps to Solve Mystery of
. Dismantled Launch.
A six months' mystery. Involving the
strange disappearance of a canoe and
the stripping of the costly furnishings
of Guy Lombard's $1,600 launch May
flower waa partially solved yesterday
by the owner after Plnkerton detectives
had spent months working on the case.
Last January Mr. Lombard, who is a
well known broker and real estate man
of Portland, went down to the boat
house directly north of the Irving dock
where hla launch and canoe were kept,
only to discover .that the canoe was
missing, while the launch had been
practically dismantled. The case was
Immediately placed with the Plnkertons.
but as months rolled by the case re
mained apparently as Inexplicable a
mystery as on the day of Its discovery
Eventually Mr. Lombard gave up the
quest and refurnished the launch May
flower at a cost of about $600. About
three days ago he was dumbfounded
when an electrician, who says he Is
employed by the Oregon Water Power
company, delivered Into his hands the
Mayflower's electrical equipment which
had been stolen six months ago. The
electrician refused to give any lnforma
tlon regarding the property, and thus
quenched Mr. Lombard 'a hopes of re
covering the remainder.
Another Impetus was given his hopes
ine same aay wnen tne watchman on
the steamer Telephone Informed him
that there was a canoe aboard which
resembled Mr. Lombard's, with the ex
ception that it was painted another
color. He said the owner of It was
anxious to sell. Mr. Lombard examined
the canoe and Identified it as the stolen
properly.
The owner waa said to b Oscar An
derson, a Portland printer. Thla morn
lng a warrant charging him with break
ing Into the Mayflower boathoune and
unlawfully extracting property therein
