Run of fish still nominal. ' . ' Green corn Is In poor shape. -. Whole wheat and graham flour down. f , - , ? i Old rotate Prospects Good. J From present Indications still higher prices will rule on Oregon old potatoes than at any time- during the present season, While ' tha California markets ars rightly lower ;wing to the enor mous shipments In that direction dur ing the past week. It is not likely that Oregon will have any potatoes to spare from this time forth. Producers have but scant supplies of potatoes remain ing unsold and what Is left in dealers hands will not be put upon the market until prospects are oetier-rtew po tn will not be out uDon the market from this state In any great quantities until the last of July or the fore part of August Tha arrivals from California ait this time are not showing as good quality ' as the ones at the -start of ths season did. While slsses are better, tha potatoea are very green and it will take several weeks before they will be In a . good , marketable condition. In the meantime the trade is holding to the old growth because as far as quality is concerned they ara far , tha best, r Then as regards values, the difference is all In favor of using tha old Oregons. The nnant decline in California urlces was not due to any lack of demand for Ore- fr ion a -old potatoes, out to tne ouimju ng". Of hipmeats.- .t-' ':' v-'";. What a Woneer Dealer Believes..": " T T.nkM j. 'mI'amaa nntatn ntan-nf this city and one of the most prominent operators in tne marmi, aiaiou i .u Journal thia -morning that ha - believed that potatoea would strike the highest price of the season during , the. , next A fact that leads the trade 'to believe that every sack of maritetaDie potatoes in western Oregon "will be needed this season is that inquiries for supplies from the outside are increasing Instead of showing -a decrease and prices of fered are generally, - better than they were a short ' time ago. The Puget anunri markets have recently been very heavy purchasers ot ' potatoes In eaatn em Oregon, put recently aavances wera made In the price In the latter sections and even then It ! not likely, that any I treat amount wll be carried over-, for ack of buyers. , ' ; - . ; While thara Is a temporary lull In the Ran Francisco buying, some potatoes HIGHER ; are still being called for by southern California and Arizona, f Bays Conditions Ara aZlzed. McKlnley Mitchell, a prominent local shipper of potatoes, believes the pros pects for an advance in old potatoes during tha next few weeks fully as ood as are the prospects for a decline. Tha market may shoot suddenly high er," lie stated this morning, "and there la a chance that It will go lower. It will take several weeks to clean up the California surplus, which, has .been rushed there' from ' Oregon during the past 10 days." T. Another car of California red' onions arrived this morning in very fine shape and found a demand around $1.75. Brief Sotes of ths Trade. Hop market is again quiet. ; ; A, car of bananas from Central Amer ica ws unloaded this morning. Good Shape. (-.-'. Green corn arrivals from ,. California have not bean showing good quality.
