The tendency of the. market la downward, and there 1 a possibility that some lots will again be put into storage. . Much Mystery Regarding Butter. Creamery butter stand In a Very Mv.tarlnna niultlnn. While oitV Cream- ' erlea say they are able to sell all their production, and the outside makers of goods claim likewise It is stated that Armour has been a buyer of butter for northern shipment, despite me reports of a lower market from there. The re ceipts of cream at thla time are among ' the heaviest of the season, and yet the market, can not by any meani be. con sidered weak. For the past week the cream arrivals here will average over T.000 gallons, the 8.000 gallon marie Al most being; reached today. .' r : Buying Cheese for the Worth. While the local cheese market can scarcely be considered even steady, the northern cities' are again coming- into the market. Today one local firm re ceived an order for 200 cases from one party in the north. Supplies were suf ficiently liberal that the shipments can scarcely be missed, and there Is little likelihood at the moment pt upward movement in prices. . : Chicken lCarket. looks Baa, The tone In the chicken market is far from being satisfactory to either the receivers i or shippers. Of course buyers are well satisfied with the sit uation, and. are taking their time in ma kin ir nurrihaaea Twelve cents seems to be the top of the market even, for fiens, unless extra lancy. a lew cooow of turkeys arrived, ana found a good demand because of the general scarcity in this line. Sales at 17c a pound for live birds. v strawberries gearoe and High. Strawberries were .even scarcer thaa yesterday during the trading; of today. Beat valley and Hood River stock sold at 12.50 a crate, and buyers grabbed II everything' In- stent. ven the poorer pi, grades at, a fractional reduction, from I J thls. The cooler weather will, check the arrivals again. Bananas Prom All Directions. i I From a period of famine the Port- iand and other Pacific northwest? mar Lets are now to show a, glut of ba nanas. Today three cars arrived early in the morning over the Southern Pa cific, and several more cars are due tonight over the O. R. aV N., being a "rerouting of Northern Paclflo shipment because of flood conditions. Lemon continue to strengthen in tone, and some are - again asking ad vanced ouotatlnns. A carload of tomatoes arrived from Texas, and half was distributed in this city and half went to the Puget sound markets. Sales being made at 12 per four crate basket. Millfeads Hold Terr rirm. . While the supply of grass is better, there is no diminishing of call for mill feeds, and prices are holding stiff at -the .highest price in years. Millers are not willing to talk of the future, for they say everything depends upon the flour situation. Editor Leo Peterson of the Portland Commercial Review gives the following view of the situation in feeds: "Contrary to expectations of buyers, feed prices remain around the highest of the winter, and it la practically cer tain that values will hold up until new wheat is at the mills and the output of feedstuff a has been Increased. ' Buyers hoped for weeks that increased pastur age would bring lower feed values, but jpasturage is almost as plentiful as it will be at any time tnts summer. In stead .of lowering prices, 'millers have held firmly on bran and shorts, and nave advanced, middlings. . There is considerable speculation as to what prices will be when new wheat comes, but so many contingencies may arise and so many known factors must be considered that it would be a guess of the rankest kind to attempt to name new crop figures. Feed prices will de pend first upon what flour prices will . ow on uib now urup. . 1 no lucrtrneiru qui nut if there is one. will cut a figure. but most millers do not anticipate that xoera win u any sucn aecrease in prices aa the trade seem to think there will be. One of the best posted millers says he believes the mills will not, on the. average, run over three quarters capacity on the new crop of wheat,, and that the increased outnut of feed will be easily taken car of, and that there will be no .decline In values of more than $2 or $3, and probably not. that much."

Rei.t is. authority for the statement that but two counties in the Willamette valley will produce good cherry crops this season Lane ana Marion. Mr. Reid told Tho- journal this morning that weather conditions have beeM against the ripening of the cherries except-in these two sections. In Lane and Marion the growers . were given sunshine : and plenty of it and were crying for rain while in other sections they were having too much rain and were simply de lighted to receive a peep or two of the wm-.yv.y; , v..v.: H. P.. McFwen, a member of the com mission ' firm of McEwen & Koskey, brought-The Journal a sample of his cherries grown in the. vicinity of Mount Tabor. The fruit was of the Royal Ann variety and was in the poorest shape teen for many years. Sizes were small nd because of the recent long spe'i of cold weather and lack of sunshine the trees did not receive sufficient sap. Mr, McEwen states that the cherries of that entire section are in the same condition. The same is true of other sections in side and adjoining the city. , Milton. Or., June 12. The first har vest of alfalfa hay is on in full blast near here, and farmers report a very satisfactory - crop. A large district is given to the production of nay, and over tOO carloads of the product were sent out last year. In addition to, the local supply. , Three or four crops are har vested each year, according to the length of the season, and land produces from six to ten tops per acre. Garfield, 'Wash., June 12.

The farmers are well organised and will handle the wheat themselves to a great - extent this . season. Farmers' unions have been organized throughout tne ontire iengtn ana oreaatn or the en tire vn-heat belt and the middleman will he almost entirely -"cut out" of the busi ness from this on. The farmers are now talking of arranging for . ware houses at tide . water to keen grain stored there as well as in the wheat growing districts.

After a tlmethe pony strayed away and was picked up by an expressman named Ivereon. Martel quit paying on the animal after he lost It, but finally he and Iveraon were brought together. Iverson charged the-youngster $7 for keeping the pony several months. Then McCoy came on the scene and resumed possession, be cause Martel had defaulted on his in stallments. ' McCoy said he was willing to let Martel finish paying, but until then he will keep the pony. Martel was ad vised to go to Iverson and demand the return of his $7, as Iverson had no right to charge without posting an estray notice. With this $7 he will be able to resume his payments on the coveted pony. wanted to borrow $100. but would be satisfied with one half of what Mr. Huston had in his pocket.

BAD TOOTH GIVES BL0DGETT FRESH AIR For the first time In 27 months, George L. Blodgett, who is in the coun ty jail awaiting a second trial on the charge of murder, yesterday set foot outside the building and breathed the outdoor air. The bright light of the afternoon sun daxzled his eyes, and he staggered for a moment as he reached the pavement outside. Then, as he saw the broad iawn that stretches away from the Jail door' he became for a mo ment a boy again, and wished that he might be permitted to roll, care-free, on the grassy surface. Thla summer will make the third that has rolled around since Blodgett hai been behind the bars. From his cell he could see the green leaves come on the trees, and could see them go. He could see the Lenox hotel as It grew above the second story across the Plaza. But the beauty of things outside, the real ization of the difference that only a few years makes in a growing city, did not come to him with full force until yesterday, when two sturdy deputy sheriffs accompanied him down town. 0One of the reasons for his brief ex cursion outside the bars was a trouble pome tooth. For the extraction of this tooth and the transaction of some other business he was granted permission to Fut his foot outside the prison for the .Irst time since he heard the door clang behind him, over two years ago. One of Blodgett's chief diversions in hi. n.ll tm that r? Ml.ln klt. I 11.. ti . u,ri racrtt. nt Ik.m n n .1 ...ih.u ' are there canaries that receive better care. Frequently they break forth in song and help to dispel the gloom of wnat would otnerwise oe a cheerless day. A few days ago It was decided that Blodgett cannot be tried before next fall, because of the congestion of the docket. His cse had been set for this week, and his attorney sought to save his client spending another summer in Jail. Once he was sentenced to be hanged, his crime being the killlnar nf Alice MInthom, a variety actress, but the supreme court reversed the, rant. ani ordered that he be given a new trial.
