Everything in the chicken line now sells around the i same prices, the difference between the various grades being nominal. There is . "no longer any premium for springs and . these are selling at tne -same price hens, the latter Being down another a pound. Ducks are likewise In heavy i supply with little movement at tne mo meat. Turkevs are in fair demand con' siderlng the general tone of the poultry I market and. former prices are being maintained. '? '. , Mors Eastern Batter Coming1. s Supplies of eastern-made butter in the 5 Portland market aro increasing very fast v because of the wide Tange in prices be ' - tween the two places. While the east- ; em market has of late shown a better tone and somewhat higher' price, the f difference between the values here and ', those in Elgin, or other sections makes the Importation of outside stock very Jrofi table to local sellers. Then again oca! make supplies are somewhat ln- creased and for this reason the market may be considered fractionally easier with some prospect of a slight decline when the rains become general. Eggs are holding steady with small arrivals. Brief Votes of Wholesale Markets. i Tmnorted olive oil is showing an ad ) vance of 60c a case owing to the short Run of silver side salmon Is increasing .

News Gossip of Finance Portland Union Stockyards. Oct I. It would be straining the market some what just now to quota anything over 37.16 for hogs, for this has bean th extreme top for late arrivals. This means practically a decline of lOo from the former high level, the trade being unable to secure 17.25 for anything that has lately arrived. The quality la not worth 'it say th buyers. The run of hogs in ths yards Is somewhat better and because of this fact paqkera ara not Inclined to bid quite as high as they were a short time ago. The price or hogs has reached such a high limit of lata that packers say they are unable to mane any money ana ror mis reason their anxletv to secure supplies Is some what decreased. Despite this fact, how ever, it la quite probable tnat if some one had quality out of the ordinary tney would be able to secure a slight prem ium over present Quotations, but It would be unfair to call this the real market. raw Top Steers Are Arriving-.
