Fall trade has opened up under very bright circumstance in the Portland wholesale market. The outlook for business was never better than at this time and Jobbers are showing; no dispo sition to be other than optimistic. A feature of special interest to the, trade at this Mm Is that the good indications ara not shown In any one line alone, but the Indications are good for eefy busi ness. Perhaps the first to feel the effects of the opening of fall trade were the wholesale grocers, who sav that their salesmen are doing more business, are sending more orders and report a better outlook than ever before. The crops are a much better than expected and In almost every line prices have been lib eral this far and are showing no indica tion of doin otherwise Wheat Is high and is In heavy demand at present prices, and the same Is true of other grains. The fruit crops are enormous and prices paid compare quite favorably with those of-other seasons. Soma Report Butter Shortage. With the exception of two creameries all makers are reporting a very good tone In the local butter market .AH hut one of t..o ''lty makers report belni; short of butter Instead of being forced to cut values, but this condition is not noted among the outside producers. For Instance, more butter Is being received than for some time, tie llrher price purled here "in the Booth butter Is fin- this reason the Tons most or their pro.iin'iiuu this direction Tg-ff Market Is Firmer. All thruuKh'tlie egg market a firmer tone is today ruling and most dealers are now holding their supplies at the recently adouis-d values.. Receipts are liot near so heavy in fact, in sumo quarters a shortage exists and prices are for that reason much more easily main tained. Receivers of eft K.i say stocks move ont better, too, because of the better quality, mil commission houses that a week or 14 days ago nightly car ried over stocks of about 76 to 100 cases now say they do not havo more than. 25 cases or so on hand each even )u. .At the lower prices quoted by receiv ers on Saturday, the -rnleKen marttet is cleaned up today, and while trade is dull, as Is usual on Monday, prices are not d"l)ressed. liberal Demand for Peaches. There Is a very liberal demand for peaches in the Front street market at thin time ajul prices are, therefore being maintained at Saturday's averages Sales are being made from 50c to 7;ie on the general run of stock and Sec to "30c a bet on the pinks or extra fancy. Cabbage market Is holding- very stiff at 2c a round today, with supplies light. Tomato market is Just about holding Its own, with sales from 40c a box up ward. Larger supplies are shown lot-ally. While the watermelon market Is .rather slow with liberal supplies, prices are unchanged from the high point. Potato Market la Quiet. There remains a very quiet tone In the local potato market, offering by producers of ordinary stock are very heavy and for this reason- the trade Is taking but little interest in proceedings. Then, again, there Is a void of shipping demand. Sweet potatoes ar showing a lower range of values, owing to the' larger supplies and downward trend to prices In tho south. During ih past week southern values showed a decline of 4,!c per hundred pVunds Today's price along the street is generally put at $2. SO. A car was unloaded this morn ing in select condition.

In fact the strength Is pronounced In every lino of livestock that shows cihmI minlttv. Demund ror well finished stuff never was so good as at tills time and prices being puld re flect the great scarcity of supplies. Just now the line of hogs arriving are well finished and us long as thin movement keeps up all will be well for the price. Hogs are being turned Into the stubble fields in eastern Oregon and Washington and thev will remain there about a month or so When this class of stock begins to move toward the market it is Invariably the signal for a downfall of values for stubble fed hogs aro fair only at the best. Cattle market Is firm as are sheep and all values are being safely maintained. All praise New System. While som buyers and sellers of live stock who aro looking out well for themselves, are not disposed to refer with good feeling to the new system of quoting livestock ns inaugurated by The Journal and helped on by some of the local commission handlers, tho producer Is the man who Is getting the benefit and lie is loud in his praise of the new order of tilings. Formerly it was the rule for all sorts of flat prices to bo quoted out to Induce shipments, but when the stock arrived the value was generally unaatisfactury. 1'niU'f the new order of things tho producer and shipper can see fnr themselves lust what each Individual lot Is obtaining. Pulling Buyers Off the Road. Perhaps the greatest benefits to the producer and shlnper unriwr the new or der of things In tho locnl livestock mar ket and one that has. met with so much success in the east where supply and demand always regulate the price-Is the Kia'lual withdrawal of Independent buvers from the Interior, where they traveled at heavy expense and pui -based scant supplies All this travel ing expenHo eame out of the pockets of the producer end It Is natural that thov should feel Letter when this drain Is stopped up. I'uder the old ordf r of things the was practically no competition f,,r en Inner had a certain territory to cover and there was seldom the slightest sign of competition. I'ndor the in w order of things, however, all arrivals at th Portland yards find the buyers from all the packers on hand each d.-iv. mi com petition Is quite keen and the fall mar ket value is obtained.
