TUESDAY EVENINQ, AUGUST 18, 1908. 11 WORLDS MARKETS TODAY DIFFER TONE III EGG MARKET r- Iteceipts of Select Quality Arc Small .Veal Show ing a Jjoss in Price. Wholesale market features: Euk market stiffening. Cheese looks higher. Peach supplies very heavy. Best tomatoes aro higher. Olive market very stiff. Grapes show Improved iunllty. Dressed venl not so firm. Denver celery In good shops, ftlver smell coming again. Signs of (train activity. Egg Market la Stiffening. While nuotatlons in eentral are un changed for the day, there Is a some what sttffer tone In the local egg mar ket. Inquiries for supplies are Increas ing, both fTom home merchants and from the north anil this Is causing many to nsk and receive the higher fig ure quoted. Sales to the northern cit ies have been made on quotations given Buurday. which was then at 24o, but II la unlikely that" any new business would be accepted by locnl sellers un- 'Jer Z6c. Small ArrlvaJa of Good arc. Just at the moment arrivals of eggs are quite fair along the street, consider ing the period of the year; but among the number of arrivals few are of best quality. This Is causing most of the trade to discriminate against the poorer quality Mid It will pay shippers to see lhat their supplies arrive in better shape. Hastem eggs now being offered are generally of good quality because of the very careful candling but they nre not near as rood as the best of local because of the time lost en route. Dressed Veal Not ao Aotlvi. Because of the heavier arrivals of dressed veal in the Front street mar kets during th past 24 hours, receivers experienced much more difficulty In getting rid of supplies that come espe cially at the prices formerly quoted and In almost every instance a lower range of values was established for the time being. Best venl sold around 8c a pouno, although in a row instances as high as SVic was obtained for some- - thing select In quality. Poor quality sold as low as Ke a pound. Shippers need to he very careful during the heated period In making shipments of pressed meats. Dressed hogs are Arriving quite slow ly and for them the price along the street la still maintained at former fig ures. Cheese Looking Klarner. With cream supplies very scant, ow ing to the protrated hot weather, the make of cheese decreasing fast and the market la disposed to show firm ness. Borne sales are reported to the northern cities around current quota tions. From Tillamook comes the re port that but a few scattered small lots are still offered on the market Quo tations at primary points are held very stiff in consequence and the present In dications are not for advanced values Butter supplies continue much under the current demand and while values are still showing no change from Inst week, the market is Inclined to advance. Beat Tomatoes Ara Hlarber. First class quality tomatoes are showing an advance In price, owing to the very small amount of stock offered. Some from California is bringing as high as J1.2S, as does some of the best local stork. Generally the market ranges around SI. Advices from the country state that the vines are covered with green tomatoes of very good size but the stock Is ripening very slowly. All express the opinion that this Is an off year for tomatoes. Brief Notes of the Trade. Dullness continues In the hop market with no business of Importance passing! In any section of the world at the mo ment. Peach supplies along Front street are very liberal with some sales of Hale s Karly around 60c. Karly Crawfords from eastern Oregon are selling from 6o to 75c, according to quality, but thus far the quality has not been of the best. Fome Elbertas from the south are sell ing as high as 85c a box. Thus far this season there has been a great Increase of fresh fig shipments from California to the Portland market. Most of the shipments have been made as a sort of experiment because this market has never consumed any great quantity of the fruit In previous years. Quotations ranging around $1.25 and J 1 .50 a box. Celery from Denver Is arriving In quite good shape and is finding a de mand around 90c a dosen. Some from Olympia selling from 76c to that fig ure. Cantaloupe market Is down with much larger supplies offering from local points. Quotations go no higher than 12 a crate and range down to 1 150 for good stock. Advices from California state that the olive crop is sure to be greatly de creased owing to the ravages of an Insect. Front street sells at the following prices.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK RUN. Hogs. Cattle. Sheep, Today 150 30 Monday (Si) 178 1907 16 259 1906 25 1905 116 11! 62 Portland Union Stockyards. Aug. 18. The absence of sheep In the yards since last Saturday lias aided the market, al though there Is no change in value for the day In fact none in that line for a week. However, the disposition of the market Is to become harder and it will therefore be easier to handle ar rivals when they do come. Hogs are quoted very firm In the yards today following the advance of beet stuff to $; yesterday. Receipts for the 24 hours were fair for this time of year, but demand is growing so fast that the trade could easily absorb twloe as many as now coming and not affect the market value to any extent. Hog values are fast reaching for the high market In the Pacific northwest, be cause of the very small offerings, and It will not be long before the top is reached. With the erection of the new Swift plant as weJl as a new and modern one for 8ch wartzschlld & Sulzburgr, the trade territory of Portland for hoc nroducts as wen a in otner lines will be greatly extended. In fact the large part of the Increased business will be new busi ness fur the Pacific northwest, which has heretofore been going to the eastern irane. Report of Individual Salea. A feature of general interest to the livestock growers Is the agitation for the reporting of Individual sale prices ny tne sellers. it is unite likely that the new system will soon be put Into effect, apd tnen shippers will know ex actly what each Individual animal haa brought In the market Instead of lump ing ine snipment ns a wtioie. Cattle are Quoted firm following the advance of 25c yesterday, but no change in value is shown today. Receipts con tlnue very small, and far under the1 actual requirements of the trade. A" year ago today hogs were weak, cattle steady to strong, and sheep steady, with no change In values for the day.
