THE, OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND. TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 21. 1008. ' 13 WORLD'S MARKETS TODAY LETTERS CHEESE MARKET TONES UP A BIT More Dealers Are Asking 111 -2c for Flats, Trip lets and Daisies. Wholesale market features: Cbeose In advancing. Kkkh Hhow h scarcity. Chicken market In fine. Another rise In whrat. Flour market Is firm. Two earn of cantaloupes arrive. Car Walla Walla onions In. Heavy supplies of peaches. JioM meats are In demand. Complaint ruKitrritiiK new hay. Tomato supplies plentiful. Cheese Market X Advancing' Willie wholesale grocers generally advanced tlielr imotutlons In tho cheese market to 14 Ho for flats, triplets and daisies the latter part of Just week Front street handlers did not move up their quotations and values ruled rather mixed. Today some of the Krpnt street hou.'-es tuit tin their Quotations to HUc for anything except In rare lots and tho market Is firm ut that figure. For large lots they have udvaiioed their quotations from 13'4Sil3o to 14c pound: showing practically the same rise ns for small lots. Reports from the Tillamook makers tell the same story of heavy purchases whenever sup plies are offered. Tgg Market Holding1 Well. Whllo some receivers are rcportlnij large supplier of egss, the trade in feneral Is short and for that reason hero Is a slight bulge In quotations with today's Values ruling between 24 it 25c a dozen. However, a large per cent of the nales continue to be reported at 24c. Quality Is much the same as last week and Is lust about like former years for this season. Qreamery Butter Weaker. A constant grind Is shown In cream fry butter sales and makers report fx perlenolng much difficulty In moving all supplies. On this account they an forced to put away large surplus stocks In the storage house. There Is no outsldo market for butter at this time; till attempts to force goods on the trade only resulting In a lower rango of price offerings. Chicken Market Is Firm. While the receipts of poultry during the pint 24 hours were quite heavy the market remains In a very fjrm posi tion with the trado taking all that mines nt prices quoted by Tho Journal. As long as receivers keep values with in bounds there Is not likely to be much of a concession In values; unless .Jtiere la a radical increase In arrivals or a Klmllnr decrease In consumption. Heavy Supplies of Peaches. Very heavy supplies of local peaches are shown in the Front strcft markets. JIoNt of the mocks are coming from The Dalles and other Columbia river points. Some of the very small fruit anld as low as 60c a box during the dav's trading but the better sizes an I quality brought yeeterday'a quotations Tw'o cars of cantaloupes came In this morning from California in good con dition. Market firm at $2.50 for regu lar crates. A car of Walla Wall.T red onlona was among tho morning's rail arrivals. Brief Notes of the TTaUe. Best quality of dressed veal Is still In good demand tilling the street but poor meits of nil kinds are not wanted. Supplies of local and California to matoes are heavily Increased. A feature of the present tomato movement Is the .'really Increased supplies being offered Ly nearby sections. This Is expected to Interfere somewhat with the sales of sin ii large lots of eastern Oregon stuff. New potatoes arc down another notch with somewhat larger supplies from local points. Watermelon trade Is good nt the de cllne in price values yesterday. Hop dealers report an absence of bus iness of any kind, either spot or con trail, at the moment. While th.-re Is a firmer tone In hides and wool no change is today shown In l.wil values. Siring bo ins are rather scarce along t ., -Meet and the market Is firmer.

Many purchases of small lots of now crop wheat have been reported during the past 24 hours at thesa figures Portland basis, and now that the deadlock between buyers and sellers has been broken there promise of heavy operations for the near future. The present price of new wheat Is but 3c a bushel under the quotation ottered and paid for old crop and gradu ally the premium In favor of the old crop Is being wiped away. Millers are firm In their views on new crop flour and there Is no dispo sition to sell under tho price listed for old crop make $3.50vi 3.60 a barrel. On the Portland board of trade Sep tember wheat waa advanced lc In the bid to 82o whllo sellers were asking 87c.

TEAK DOWN BUILDINGS AT FIFTH AND STARK Wreckers were put to work this morn ing destroying the old frame building 1 on the Brady quarter block at the coiner of Fifth and Stark streets, prop erty which is now controlled by Gay Lombard under a long-term lease. There has been a permistent street rumor for some weeks that Mr. Lombard intended putting up a large offloij building on this corner, hut when ap proached on the subject ho declined ta state what character of Improvement he intends building there. Mr. Lombard left for California last Saturday, and announced before leaving that he would probably be prepared to say what kind of building Is to go up on the Brady corner upon his return to Portland.
