TTBL MARKET LARGE CARGO FOR r.T0ST GROWERS HOLD POTATOES 3fany Unwilling to Let Go . i Until Spring at Aiy Jrice 5 . Onions Too. PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKETS, i (Growers hold potatoes stiff. Good onion rather scarce. . " Banana shipments arrive In. . : Bayou beans advanced 15c. - Eastern cranberries have arrived. No demand for fwor hop. Tressed veal market la active. ;, . . ; Eggs and poultry are holding. '- Growers Holding potatoes Tift. Buyers who have been out In the eountrjr during the past week tell of the r Inability to secure suppim. iu : AvArv awttAn th vmwri are holding, Most of them have decided not to sell .V their supplies until spring and for that reason many of-them have not put a price upon them. On this account there Is extreme dullness in ttiaiocat iraae. The few growers willing to sell are asking audi high prices that shippers cannot possibly purchase , and send " stocks to the south with any profit.- In fact If they were to purchase potatoes from local growers at the figures they now demand they would hot be able to get their money back on a basis of present prices Jn Ban Francisco. , i ... , ' May Bring California Potatoes. While two or threAcan of California river potatoes have already been un loaded upon this ' market because of the lack of offerings by Oregon prp- , ducers. It is understood that some lib eral shipments are to start from the south In the near future unless grow ers her change their attitude In re- . gard to holding all their sltoplleir for an advance. Tne fact of their holding has caused a shortage of potatoes in some quarters and unless supplies are brought In from the south there will be a famine here. While to date only the poor river stock has been shipped here from the south, according to one of the California men now here, future ship ments would consist or tne oeet auaiuy grown -there. The ordinary California river potato la too full of water to . hold up In cooking and for .that reason does not find a -good demand nor even a . fair price. . -- ' . Stiff Holding by Onion Ken. - The attitude of onion growers here Is surprising the commission trade in gen eral. - While It waa the general belief of buyer that producers would at least let go of their- holdings whioh were nipped, by the frosts, they ara la fact holding everything. Only a nominal amount of stock is being offered and - most of this consists ot very small pIips. Prices are therefore stiff along Front street. - i -v Bgga and" Poultry Holding. Pricea are holding In both the egg and poultry markets along Front street, whiip, th mediate of erars are some what better, the demand remains good around 37 He n a general way although one or two dealers are said to be will ing to. clean up at 7o. .; ' ; Buyers, true to their promise, came into the market and bought the sur plus supplies of chickens along Front street during the past 24 hours. Their purchases while quite liberal had no effect upon prices values showing no change for the day. -.-' ' " Weakness continues to gather In the creamery butter market but values are generally unchanged. , - Bayou Beana Are Advanoed. , s About a week or 10 days ago there were two advances In white beans, which were mentioned In The Journal at that time. Today the market Is firmer all around and bayous ara snow ing an advance of 16o per hundred pounds. Whites are showing no change. w4f Votaa of rront Street. Eastern cranberries have arrived and are In good shape. Several cars of bananas arrived In this morning. There la practically . no demand at all for poor quality hops at this time but good quality ia wanted, - Dresses veal market Is firmer ow ing to the better demand but prices rA nhnwlnr no change for the day. There Is an oversupply of bell pep pers In the market and supplies can scarcely be moved at any price, -Some - good stock was being offered today as low as 60c per orchard box with no takers. . . . .

T". uwing to tne very low price orrerea, shippers are not offering cattle so free ly aa they wore a short time ago. Kill ers are not willing to tav more than $4 for stuff that reoelvers say should be wortn at least X4.Z&. Killers on me other hand assert that they are offered more cattle than they know what to do- wltht this time and are therefore justified mh holding prices in cneca. . Taney Bora as yoor. While there - have been o ' sales of hogs in the yards during recent days beyond $8, the trade la of the opinion that - food. ' select eastern Oregon stuff can be moved around 16.25 but until si(ph i transactions . are . actually maae the market remains at former figures. "I believe that select east' or the mountain wheat fed hogs can be readi ly moved at $6.25," said Lee M. Lacey of Hunt A Lacey today. "Arrivals of late have consisted mostly of Willam ette valley hogs and most of these were not In prime condition.?

If any one thought- the market of the last three days waa manipulated and not the pub lic, they were thoroughly undeceived to day. There was a genuine bull, market and stocks in every crowd moved up In response to orders that came from every side. There was tremendous realizing on the part of interests who have been compelled to sustain the market during the past eighteen months but stocks were -easily absorbed and well distrib uted so that with the good news which the trade expects" to be published dally in the papers there Is every expectation that a higher plane of values will be reached. Of course there will be minor fluctuations but a runaway market with the accumulated savings of the world which has been economical for two years behind it means a big advance oyer looays ciose. - - Range of New York prices furnished oy uverPecg at cooke Co.; SOUTH Bill UP FOB BARLEY Prices There Higher, but No Changes Noted Here Shows More' Strength.'

The ad vance of d -in Liverpool prices was one factor toward stiffening values, all of which, however, showed no change from yesterday. A feature of the market was the stronger tone in barley. With another advance in both cash and futures in San Francisco today, holders here stiff ened in their views regarding the fu ture, and while no changes are report ed locally today, it is not believed that the holders are wilHng to let go at the quoted figures. -There has been more demand shown from Europe than for some time past, and recently two more cargoes were sold by local people. Oats market is quiet with producers still holding their supplies, unwilling to offer at present price, and buyers not willing to offer more.

I began seeing persons I knew as soon as I landed in the United States: As I neared home I began to see more friends and at The Dalles two sons and their families came aboard the train, unexpectedly to me. Today it seems that I know everyone I see." Since Mr. Metschan left Portland for a visit to his old home In Germany his two sons, Phil and Otto, have been attending to the hotel business .and among other things they have accom plished Is a new hotel which Is to be bum Dy xneouore a. wucox lor tne Metschans.
