Eastern cranberries have arrived.
No demand for fwor hop.

Buyers who have been out In the

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. . . . .

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.

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.?

New - York, Nov. 7. 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

There was a firmer tone throughout
the local grain situation today. 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.
Wheat is disposed to show added
strength, but no change is noted In
either cash of future values for the day.

price or potatoes here has dropped $4
a ton In the last few da vs. Becausoj
of the sudden reduotion ranchers In
this valley will lose thousands of dol-
ars. But the loss Is not nearly so
eavy as It. might have been because
many of the growers have disposed of
their crops at the rormer .price, or fie
a ton. The cause of the reduction- ia
the receipt in Seattle of large receipts
of an Inferior stock from California-
Potato growers here will not make
much - money this year, as in addition
to this low Dt-ice of $12 a. ton. the
crop wag not nearly so large as usual.

Hbtei "Mii;hr 'Returns From
Extended Trip Through
Europe.
"The greatest event of my 16 months'
trip abroad," said Phil Metschan, of tfte
Imperial hotel this morning, "was my
arrival home last night. I had a fine
trip and a good time and- all that, but
there Is nothing like getting home. 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.
"The boys have done all right fine
in fact." Mr. Metschan continued. "And
just think! You have passed through
a money panic since 1 went away. Yes,
the boys did all right. I couldn t have
done better myself. ,
It had been 64 years since Mr.
Metschan left his old home In Germany,
While away he visited all the princi
pal cities and countries of Europe. . Mr.
Metschan was accompanied by Mrs.
Metschan. his daughter. Miss Lillian
Metschan and Miss Pansey Bweetser.

largest cargoes ever set afloat from this
port on a sailing schooner and it ex
ceeds In siv.most of the cargoes car-,
rled by foreign windjammers of larger
regimerea . lonnage.
The Crescent was exDresalv built for
the lumber- trade and the lone hold
has no obstruction whatever In the way
between decks or stanchions to obstruct
the stowing of the lumber, excepting
the heavy - timbers ' that separate the
hold into two sides. The Crescent is
considered one of the finest specimens
of the typical American lumber drogher
and as compared with the square-rigger,
only a small number of men are re
quired to handle her. The sails are
hoisted by steam power and It is hard
ly ever necessary for anyone to go aloft
except to keep the rigging in flrst-clas
Most of the material being shipped
on the - ereseen-t Is to he used In rail
road construction work. Mexico is con
tinually getting increased railroad fa
cilities and a considerable portion, of
the timbers- ara supplied by mills in the
city and on the lower Columbia. Down
