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.
' Price at 60c a dosen,
Creamery - batter demand Is better
than supply, according to city makers.
Call is from the north.
Egg market Is firm, with sales at
19c and 20c . j -
Chickens are rather: dull, bat prices

at these, figures, v v .
Dressed meats are again In fair sup

Improve. Little doing as yet

EGG SITUATION IS :WM
QUITE SATISFACTORY
"Eggs are coming la freely,: 4
.and with eastern goods In 'the
market. In some quarter the de- e
mand is not quite what It should
, be. . However, taken as a wholev
-the situation is-very satisfactory T
from a. producer's atandpolnt ,tJ
-,' "Butter is in large aupply, but 4
with a very good demand stocks
soon clean up, and at Arm prices.
This via ( true equally as to e
dairy and creamery. 4
"Poultry 'matters - have not'
been , very- satisfactory the past ;
week, for the market on bens, has
been t dragging one, and springs 4
have been in quite large supply.
There la a very good demand for . 4)
these, however. Spring ducks are
coming more freely, but If large, 4
are selling very well. Any f sort , 4
'of turkeys are iu . very firm de-
mand . and thTi market : needs ' 4
more of these. Squabs are very J
dull. , With a holiday next week '
poultry may do a little better. -
"Veal hak not been aa plentl-
ful this week as formerly and
the demand has been better. It
is likely that With cool weather
the market for veal will Improve.,
' Hogs have been , weak and It
takes the beat medium and small
to bring top quotations." Tom
