Locks like lower butter. Cheese market very firm. Peach price are higher. Hops are moving again. Poultry market is weak. 'A Dreised veal demand pood. ' Bartlett pears sell high. Crabs are rather scarce, Grain markets are more active. Weaker Ton Boles Eggs- ' - While the general market price for strictly fresh local ranch eggs remains at 87ftc a dosen today, the market can not by any means be considered firm: The tendencies are all the other way. One or two dealers were this morning offering to clean up their stocks as low as -STte lut buyers were not inclined, to do business at this figure. They made the atatement that eastern eggs were ' so much lower that they could get along .; with them unless the price of local stock shows a narrower range. Receipts ef eggs along Front street are slight , Iv Increased and the trade believes that with a continuation of sunshine there will be more liberal arrivals during the coming week with the chances good '"for lower prices. Weak Ton la Chickens, " There is a rather weak tone In the chicken market at this time. While -clean ups are reported made at 11c, . some or the receiver are not willing to accept this figure and arrivals ar therefore accumulating on this account. 7 Arrivals of turkeys are mixed some dealers receiving quite fair supplies while others are scarcely receiving any. . Weakness Gathering In Butter. Prices are unchanged In the cream ery butter situation today but the tone of the market is somewhat easier. There has been a disposition among receivers of outside creamery to cut values In order to keep down their supplies. City creameries are. charging the . same old prices for their best product but even among .them there has been' a disposi tion to ahade storage stuff. Cheese market values are stronger, but no change is shown in the list. Only Best Bops rind a Bale. There is an increasing demand for best quality bops around 884c a pound, with reports of 8 He business, but ordinary quality Is not wanted, except at very low prices and these figures growers are snowing no disposition to accept. This aame condition in existing . in various market centers. The New York Producers Price Current gives the following view of the markets: "The local market remains quiet and : uninteresting. In New York state there is a continued Inquiry for the best hops 1 at 12uU3ftc and several lota are re ported, sold at these prices. Lower grades are somewhat neglected and dragging. There Is very little business ..i transpiring with brewers, who are gen erally holding off until after election. English and German markets. are un changed, with a weak undertone on everything but the choicest goods. The ' scarcity of the choice goods the world over accounts for the wide range In quotations which are beginning to be shown. Mew Tork Bop Price.

There continues a very good demand for the better class of dressed veal along Front street and the call for ordinary stuff Is somewhat better. This leads to the impression that retailers are not so heavily stocked aa had been believed, and a good steady market is now anticipated. Dressed hogs, unless strictly fancy, are rather hard to sell even at the prices now In effect Brief Botes of Front Street. .Market for peaches Is cleaning up quite well and select stock Is now sell ing as high as S0o a box. Oregon and Washington celery Is In , quite fair-supply t this time. Quality Is far superior to tiat brought from the : south and the trade Is therefore willing to pay better prices. Fancy Bartlett pears are finding a ready sale along the street at this time, beet stock moving at 11.75 box Fresh crab supplies are rather scant la the wholesale fish markets at this - time, rrlces the same. Apple market Is showing a slightly better movement but ordinary stock ts not selling so high because of the much, more liberal supplies coming forth from upper Columbia sections.

The tone of the live stock market is exceedingly quiet at the moment. After a spurt or activity in cattle for select stock, dullness ts again the rule and for best steers killers are not offering over 34, which la li6o under the recent advanced figure. According to killers the general market ror top steers was soarcely over this figure Our- inc recent days, the only sales at $4.25 being in two Instances and these were for shipments from the south. Packers and killers say they are still loaded with steers and are trying to discourage the shipment of any more stun until tney clean up. Continue Demand for Oows, Although there Is a very slow and rather dull- tone In steers locally, killers are still quite willing to take up all the cows and heirers at recently quotea values. The claim Is made that the quality of the cows is better In compari son with steers than ever before. Sheep market remains quiet with prices unchanged. Hogs are steady nt 38 for best stuff, but even then the tone of the demand Is rather quiet. Packers are not in clined to hurry purchases owing to the heavy arrivals In the hog market of late. - A year ago today all lines of live stock were weak In the local yards with' hogs and sheep especially dragging. Today's arrivals t livestock compare with this day in recent years as fol lows: Hogs. Cattle.

The raisin f :rowers of Kings county are today stgn ng an agreement to hold their entire crop of raisins fori 4 cents a pound as a minimum price. 'The growers back of the pool agreement are making a vig orous campaign today to secure the sig natures of all the growers In the county following the signing of 755 tons as a starter. It is estimated that the crop of rais ins in Kings county this year is 3,000 tons, but the movement of the crop has been so slow on account of the low price that the growers have adopted the pool agreement to raise the price. The decision to combine in a pool was reached yesterday after a stormy meeting of growers. Many Vrape men of Fresno county, the greatest raisin growing section in the world, have al ready signed in pools to hold up the price, and the growers here will hold as long as they do. Ine failure of the California Ratsln Growers' association several years ago has given the "high five" a hold on the raisin market that the growers are try ing to defeat In these pool movements. If they are successful, it will mean mil lions more for the California raisin crop this year. News Gossip of Finance New York, Nov.-6. With the heaviest transactions on the exchange since last October the New York stock market broke a few more high records for the year today; gaining constantly during the day with an enormous demand. The public was in the market today and it therefore showed a demand for lmt every share on the big list. Grett Northern Ore Lands - led the advance with a net gain of 54 -points. There was an advance of 3V4 points in Amal gamated Copper, due to the advance in copper metal. For the day Anaconda Mining was 2V4 points higher. Startling galnB were made in some of the leaders at the opening of the market today but the real advances were made all through the session. There was not the slightest sign of weakness at anv time: Ilouidatlna longs being able to get out without even causing the market to quiver, it there- was any short selling It did not show In the trail sanctions for everything was bullish and short sellers would not have stood the slightest chance of coming but with a wnoie sain, xne marKet continuea nrra to the last trade. - World's Wheat Prlois.
