Hav Wo Salmon to Sell.
Because of the low prices that were
named on Columbia river fish this sea
son by packers, practically everything
that will likely be caught this season
has already been sold. Kveryone be
lieved that there would bo an advance
of at least luc over a year hko and
when tho announcement came that 19U7
values would continue to rule, Soims of
the early buyers tried to double their
orders, but without avail, for packers
nan no more to sell.
. It Is stated that some of them have
only offered half of their prospective
pack this season because of their expec
tation tnat ulHher prices would he ob
tained after opening values had been
named. The great strength of the
canned salmon market Is astonishing
in view of general financial conditions.
Most of tho strength Is due to the small
carry-over of last season's fish, even
the inferior grades being cleaned up re
cently at advHiiced values.

Portland t'nion Stockyards, July 2
The livestock market's quotations on
both cattle and sheep are being held
back hy the lack of suitable quality..
According to buyers and sellers the sit
uation in the finished livestock mar
ket Is acute, while the best price on
cattle quoted at this llm.i Is $4. it Is
stated by President I taught rey that
$4. 25 'y 4.50 could readily be obtained at
this time if anyone has the proper
quality to offer. This would mean an
advance of 5Uc over prevailing quota
tions.
According to Mr. Daughtrey lha scarc
ity of good cattle Is due to the cold,
chlllx and late spring which did not
bring out the grass in proper shape.
The same condition exists in the
sheep market, while available supplies
of sheep are very liberal, the quality Is
poor, and fir thisscason irheep values
are lnwer everywhere.
Hogs ought to sell higher than at.
the moment, but packers will not pay
the advance.
Today 7 horses were among the arri
vals. Year ago today all lines were easy
at unchanged prices.
Official yard prices today:
Hogs Best stuff. $6.256 35; Chin
fats. $5.75'ir6.00; stockers and feeders,
$4.60r-i 5.00.

EAST SIDE RILED
OVER EXEif TIOH
The East Side Business Men's club
nt Its meeting tonight will appoint a'
Fpeclai committee of east side business -men
to pppear before the fire and police. '
committee of the city council Friday -morning
to protest against the exemp
tion of any property now within the fire"
limits from the provisions of the fire
limit ordinance which limits the erec
tion of non-fireproof edilces within
certain sections of the city.
The matter comes up as the result
of the request of State Senator C. W.
Nottingham to have a building which ha .
has erected between East Second and
Third streets on Washington street, ex
empted from the fire limits so that hs
will not be forced to tear It down.
Built Without Authority.
The structure was built wlthrfut le
gal authority and against the protest of.
the city building Inspector, who in
formed Senator Nottingham that he was
violating a city ordinance and even had
a warrant served on the offender. Hs
speared In the police court but the cflss
was indefinitely postponed by tht
judge.
Meanwhile the building was com
pleted and now stands a, menace to th -rest
of the business district, so east
side merchants say. The business men
over there have no personal feeling in
the matter -but feel that ther e-uneil
should extend no special privileges and
for this reason they are to make their :
protest.
President Blgelow of the East Side
Business Men's club this morninff said
.that the business men and property
owners across the river are almost
unanimous in declaring that the exemp- '
tlon of the Nottingham building from
the fire limits would establish a danger
ous precedent, prejudicial to the" inter
ests of all. If the council ( grants a :
special privilege In this lnstane it will
be bound to extend the favor to others
If it is to be fair.
"Will Await Decision.
Just now there are a number of large
new brick buildings going up on Bel
mont street and in other sectiqns of the
business district. The men who are
spending their money for these struo- -tures
do not want frame fire traps put '
up alongside their property.
Other business men who have planned
the erection of stores and warehouses
are holding back how to see what. ac
tion the fire and police committee of the
council will take on the Nottingham
proposition. The decision of the coun
cllmen means a whole lot to the welfare
of the east side. That is why the busi
ness men are making sut-h a determined
stand against any exemption from the
fire limits at this time.
City Building Inspector Iobson was
victorious In his last appearance before
ihe council In fighting special ordl- .
nances withdrawing Nottingham's -property
from the fire limits. He is very -much
in earnest in the matter and will
.lo all in his power to have the obcox- -lous
building torn down.
