Here, (hviny: to Very Light
Crop on the Coast.

Small peaches lower.
Kino cur vegrmhlea arrives.
Market overstocked with fruit.
Sonio valley wheat moving.
C'antalotipo market lower
. Appln market remains slow.
Potato Frloa Iooka Oood.
With a very short crop of potatoes
in sight in Oregon and throughout
Washington and Idaho owing to the
protracted dry spell, and somewhat of
the ame report coming from California,
the indications at this time are that
Oregon and other northwest producers
Will receive one of the highest prices
for their potatoes in many years. There
Js nnlv one thing that would spoil this
. outlook from a financial viewpoint, nn.l
that is frr a wrv heavy shower or two
; in Inv.idK the Willamette, valley as well
as throughout interior northwest. Ac
cording to information received this
morning u Urge per cont of the crop
this year will he undersized-in fact,
eo much so that unless the shortage
Js so verv ncute they will not enter
the market at nil. (If course srood
showers would help the situation much,
but unless they conie soon there will
f be but little ue for them.
BmaU Baying: for Alaska.
While the 'Indications are that Oregon
will be called upon soon to supply the.
bulk of Alaska's potato wants this ses
sion, but a small amount of business
la shown at the moment. The. reason
for this is the small offerings by pro
ducers because of the backward season
rinfl to a late snrina- and dry weather.
At the moment sales of selected stock
for Alaskn shlDtpent are reported at
country shipping points around $1 per
- hundred potions, which .would meK it
Bllghtly better than 11.05 Portland
ODfon Market Very Stiff.
There Is a very stiff tone In the
onion market at the moment here, with
Walla Walla producers holding: firmer
because or the very neavy oemana ann
small available supplies of early stock.
While It Is quite likely that Oregon will
produce a good crop of onions this sea
son, the lack of rains Into in the season
nd -a very cold and late spring; which
retarded sowing: will cause the local
crop to enter the market rather late
from present indications.
Eastern Hggn Crowding" Market.
There Is this to the present egg
market despite ell utterances of some
handlers to tha contrary the fact that
astern eggs are arriving and have been
purchased at quite high prices is caus
ing some of the local handlers to boost
the pr.lce of local stock In order to
more readily sell their imported stock.
Another car of eastern stock was un
loaded this morning In verv fine condi
tion and is being priced at 28 and 24c
a .dozen. Boosting local egg values In
order to sell eastern stock more readilv
Is a 'very old game in this market and
the scheme is being played more strong
Iv than ever this season by importers.
Along Front treet tiiere 1s a natural
Increase -in firmness on local eggs of
best nualltv. as Is always true this time
of the season, hut the high prices being
onoted in some quarters are generally
I to 1 He higher than Front street Is
iblo to receive. All this talk about
Front street not selling good eggs Is
tnere bosh and 1? spread merelv to sell
eastern stock. Eggs are candled just
' well on Front street as anywhere on
the coast and unless stocks are good
the commission men lose the trade. It
1s up to them to candle their stock ea re
full v and 'his they have been doing for
years. All talk to the contrary Is an
attempt of some newspapers to aid the
importers in their right against Oregon
eggs.
Brief Kotes of the Trade.
Poultry market is firmer with some
ales at a slight advance. Looks as If
the market has reached its height.
Creamery butter is very firm with
advanced values drawing closer.
Market Is overstocked with small
sized peaches, which are selling as low
as 4Uc a pox. ancy stock from 70
to !C.
Tomato receipts are still small, but
better supplies are promised coming

111. While the receipts of livestock are
showing an Improvement In all lines
today the market could readily stand a
great .Increase and still maintain Its
balance. Since the new order of things
started at the yards whereby brokers
handled the arrivals Instead of the
Muekynnls company, the packers and
killers have, shown a disposition to buy
every hlng that conies to the yards.
Packers are more than willing to buv
all their stuff in the yards even though
the competition would he greater than
the svst m of serdlng out buyers Into
the country. The fact that one man
coul, 1 iKi all the buying in the yards
for ea"h packer would save considerable
expense of travelers and even though
forced to pay a higher price in the
yarns, trie nuyers woula still save

' If raher-- would but realize -It," says

there has been quite an Increase of ar

New York, Aug. 19. A bear raid
aided by heavy liquidation in New York
Central caused a reversal of sentiment
In the stock market and from bullish
ness the market drifted into Intense
weakness toward the close.
A report that the Southern Paclfle
and Union Pacific systems were to be
put under entirely separate manage
ments caused the former to advance
sharply, all of which gain It lost In the
bear raid. Union Pacific also advanced
early and lost It all lute in the day.

UNIQUE COACH TO BE
SEEN AT HOUSE SHOW
An old-tlma English rond coach, com
plete in every technical detail of ap
polntment, Including the guard In scar
let, green and gold livery, with his long
coachlnj; horn, will be one of H. W.
Treat's entries at the October horse
show. Mr. Treat has four magnificent
chestnuts which he Is driving to this
coach, and the exhibition will doubtless
be one of the most novel and attractive
at the Hunt club's big show. Samuel
K. Kramer, the New York whip, who Is
here as assistant to President McOrath
for tliB horse show event, personally
fitted Mr. Treat out with this coach,
and It is said to be absolutely perfect
in every detail, as Mr. Kramer la one
or Americas foremost authorities on
correct appointments in driving. There
will also be other classy surprises here
from the sound cities, as Mr. Kramer
brought out many fine carriages of
every description, including road, pair
ana rour-in-nand harnesses.
President McGrath of the Hunt club
and Mr. Kramer are busily engaged pre
paring the classification list, which will
soon be ready for publication. The
many new classes are sylicipated with
unusual interest by prospective exhibitors.

97 like amount in medium reds. Owinu to
118, heavier supplies of pinks and chums
19 than expected values on these lines
48 J show a loss from last year's- values, but
24 it is likely on this account that the
26 I pack of ihese fish this season will be
57 small because the price will not pay for

spite the fact that Tillamook is 4

dairy products for all parts of
the northwest, loeallv it is now
suffering from an scute famine.
For the past few weeks It has
been Impossible for the house 4
4 wlfe to secure a roll of butter
4 fr culinary purposes 4
4 'This extraordinary phenome- 4
4 non is seoounted for by the fact
4 that Tillamook butter brings 4
I fancy prices outside, and the
I 4 manufacturer either finds it 4
4 more profitable to ship his 4
4 goods, or else has his output con- 4
4 tracted for in advance, and the 4

j 4 that of domestic manufacture 4
