' For the paat week packer with cold

quite heavily la the chicken market
PraoticaJly 'all their purchases were
made aa cleanups so suppllea wera re-

stated that when the new plants on the

V even at this time Portland and In fact
all Pacific coast centera Import a large
per cent of their poultry and egg sup

quate facilities for storage here. This

ever, prices then will be affected aa now

, Market Btill tn Bad Shape.
The chicken market la still In bad
shape locally as far as prices are con
cerned. The drop- from the high mark
has been rather eevere and arrivals are
still too liberal to force prices high
again. The large buyers have plenty of
poultry for Immediate requirements and
will atop buying altogether for a time
If receivers attempt to force prices up
while supplies are as liberal aa at
present.
Egg market Is Just about steady with
no change in values for the; day, , ,
Butter Market Is Quite Xlnu.
Quite a firm tone is shown In the but
ter market at this time. None of the-lo-
cal creameries have been able to fill
all their orders upon arrival. Supplies
of cream continue to decrease but orders
for butter are Increasing. Handlers of
outside make sav they have a larger de
mand for select .quality than they are
,Die to lane care or and some are pre
dicting a further advance In the price.
Cheese market is steady to firm with
demand holding at former prices.
Hop Contracts at Sevan Cents.
During the past 48 heurs a number
of hop contracts have beln made in the
vallev around 7c a pound. This is the
ruling figure and many growers are ac
iwptlng the paper in order to remain In
mieinesa and secure runas xor piciung.
)Manv yards that were said to be aban
doned a week or 10 days ago are now
being harvested and it la quite sare to
"any at the moment that ..there will be
scarcely yard having suitable qOallty
tnat wui not oe narvestea mis season.
'The short sellers who aolB many bales of
hops early at low prices are the only
ones doing business' at the moment, no
, new trade appearing at any or the or-
rjces. it is stated tnat representatives
A Isaac Pinctis & Sons of Tacoma are
coins most of the contracting in the
valley at this time. This firm is con
sidered the big short seller. While
i nothing definite can be told at the mo
ment, it is stated that Klaber. Wolf &
setter, are long or nops.
Onions booking Igwn.
The outlook for onion price is not
i 'very good at the moment because of the
large output and low prices in the south.
Onions are selling in California around
BOo and can1e brought here at 85o.
Local growers are offering more freely
but the trade Is not disposed to dabble
heavily-
According to an advice received by a
local dealer from L. Scatena A Co. at
Jftan Francisco, the market there Is over
, stocked with low-quality potatoes and
prices are down, while there are some
Inquiries there for Oregons, the price is
too low to admit of shipments. It Is
(stated by Scatena & Co. that from 80,
' 000 to 35,000 sacks of potatoes remain
unsold on the wharf at Jackson street In
Ban Francisco and that the Washington
street wharf In the game city has be-1
twen 6.000 and "10,000 sacks unsold. Best
Peerless potatoes are being bought there
around ooc, while select quality uur-
oanga range arouna ouc. ,

Bulestem wheat will be the bona of
contention between millers and export
agents all through the season, from
present Indications. The competitive
demand for this grade Is so heavy that
some buyers are inclined to the opinion
that the price will go to $1 a bushel or
more before the '1908-9 season is con
cluded.
While at the present time buyers are
not quoting more than 93c for spot blue
stem, basis of track delivery at tide
water, they are nevertheless making con
tracts for Muestem ror octoner-Kovem-vember
tidewater delivery around 97c.
and it is stated that growers are not
disposed to do enuch business even at
his advance. This is within a fraction
of the highest price obtained here for
wheat in many years.
t:oarse grains are. amet ror cash
stuff, with a disposition among th
trade to bear values in oats. Barley
holds firm and unchanged
The flour market is quiet for both
local ana export grades. A rew in
quiries are being received from north
em China, Dut thus rar no actual bum
ness has resulted because of the lack
of transportation. The firms which
control the transportation are not In
cltned to take shipments under the $
rate, and buyers are not Inclined to
offer more than $3 for freight.

Increasing possibilities of Oregon, some
of the growers receiving aa high aa 5H
cents per pound for their crop of prunes,
this being the basis price paid for the
20 to 85 size and io less per pound for
each five prunes to the pcur.i smaller.

ened Cords and Strengthened Stakes."
Early tn the summer Lr. Foulkes and
J. F. Ewlng were appointed a committee
to vinlt the eastern cities and make
notes of Improved church Btructures and

3. pun which will probably be acted
upon by tbo congregation In the near fu
ture. The plan Includes moving tha parson
age from the corner of Thirteenth street

tak In that property. A new Sunday
nchool room has long been needed, aa the
present quarters for tha little children
are dark and crowded.
A committee waa appointed last
spring, of which. H. C Campbell Is the
chairman, to solicit funda for the enter
prise nmong the church members but
as the summer vacation Intervened noth
ing definite has yet bean dona along
that line. ...
The action which Calvary church will
take this evening on the matter of union
with the First church may have an In
fluence In determining the scope of the
additions and enlargements. Aa tt
tanda, however, the First church la In
adequate to house the congregation.
which is constantly growing and now
numbers about 1,200. There la need of
additional rooms for tha young people
and the adult Bible classes. All of these
things will be included in tha new build
ing. A Joint meeting of tho session and
