Were It not for the change In weather conditions the local egg market would likely be higher today but the warmer temperatures Indicate that the arrivals wiU again show an increase and for that reason the trade is quite willing to sell at present figures for awhile to see how supplies are going to turn out. Recently the arrivals of iresh ranch eggs have been very scant In this market and much the larger per cent of the sales were in eastern siock. ' How. to Sreii Poultry. At tMa time of the vear dressed nout ! try begins 10 taice- rroni ran it in m u 1 nirk.t ..For that reason The Jour nal has secured from Thomas Q. Farretl the following Instruction on how ; to properly send chickens to market: ' : .. "Pressed chickens may be dry picked m .rairlrl hnt shinments of dressed should be made in the fall or winter ' only during cool weather. In killing birds for rSarket never use any other than fat plukip stock, it will not pay to dress poor fowls, as each will always fnr morA money if snlnpea auve. This is especially true as to turkeys and we aesirjr to impress upon snippers the fact thaft dressed cull turkeys are the caueCf much worry to handlers during holidays. In dry picking hens or turkeys, kill with a thrust of a sharp pointed knife in the throat from the ln- ; vide of the month and into the brain. Hang. up by the-legs while the bird Is still struggling, remove nulekly all feathers but those on the head and a few on the neon, jsome leave a. lew feathers in the tail and a few at the tip of the wings but I recommend that all these be removed." In scalding stock cut the throat or kill as for dry plek- Ing) and holding by the legs dip for " eight or ten seconds into water, almost, but not quite, at the boiling point. They "" must be scalded enough and yet not ; Xnn, much- Experience will determine ' -l this for. Vow. The 'feathers may then be removed without breaking the deli "" cats skin. Again dip the bird into water of the same temperature for a few see . onds (about four or five), to "plump" "' It and immediately throw Into lee cold " '".water. When thoroughly cold remove .the birds, hang them -up to drip and dry, wrap heads and necks with parch went or other paper, and pack In light canes. Never pack poultry until thor oughly cold be sure as to this.' Gedse, chickens, hens and ducks may be scalded, but turkeys should always be dry picked. Poultry for dressing must be kept from food for at least 12 hours (twenty-four would be better), and should never be drawn. If poultry Is drawn the air obtains entrance to the interior and the bird la soon "tainted' or slimy.' This seems strange to many but it is the truth. Chickens Sre gen erally in large supply and dull about Thanksgiving, for turkeys and geese are wanted by the irade at that time. There is a growing disnosition on the 4 Tart of the trade to demand dressed turkeys and geese for Thanksgiving. Christmas and New Years business, but this is not, so marked as to chickens. Dealers are busy then snd do not enre to dress these birds. The demand for ' fancy fat geese is never satisfied at that time Remember the injunction never market any poor poultry In a dressed state; If you must dispose of such be sure and ship it alive." 4 Chickens Coming Quite freely. . - Arrivals of chickens in the Front street markets during the past 24 hours ; were quite liberal. The market remains - steady at former values. Only a few turkeys are coming and these consist 1 principally of live birds. The weather ' Is too warm to successfully ship dressed '' birds at this time and It is too far from the holidays to keep such stock in- a dressed state. Orange Market Is tower. ' . Another car of new navel oranges arrived in this morning and colors were slightly bettes than first arrivals. How ever stock is still far from being first class. While the market is 25c lower here It Is stated that the tone is stead ier In the south owing to the closing down of the packing houses until after Thanksgiving. Provision Market Is Lower. ' The new meat list Issued today by the Union Meat company shows a de cline of He a pound in all avfrages of hams and breakfast bacon. Lard and other provision values are unchanged. Pressed meat market is still firm for veal with U continuation of the scarcity of arrivals. Brief Votes of Front Street. The new card of the Portland Lin seed Oil Works show an advance of 2c -a gallon in linseed oil. New lift as fol lows: Pure raw In barrels. 68c; ket--tle boiled, barrels, 6c; pure raw in ( cases, 64c; kettle boiled cases, 66c a ' gallon.

The advance In Chi cago had no effect upon the local mar ket today, for Liverpool was weaker and lower, and Just now this market is fol lowing the foreign situation ' rather closely. - .,...... The market for barley is the firmest for all the grains. The many late ad vances in the San Francisco market have caused intense strength here, but at this time the trade is not disposed .-.. . ,-.. klahAr Tn realitv the southern advances are Just putting the San Francisco maKkOto line wkh ours, the recent strength aWWowniiBS of of ferings' being the cause of the advance there. California, is not buying any barley in this market Just now, because of, the tight holding by local people. While the warerooms are full of grains the trade is not disposed to let go. A few small sales of oats for Cali fornia account are again reported by local people, but besides being firm no change is shown tn the situation here. Local flour trade is increasing, but there is still an absence, of outside business. ' ' Board of trade prices today: CLUB WHEAT. Bid. Ask. HnmW 91t 92 V December 92 93 NO. 1 WHITE OATS.

The Improvement has been expected and did not find the trade unprepared. The great shortage of sheep is attracting much attentjon from the trade and the general predictions are for advanced values. The few sheep now arriving are sold before arrival and the market at- present stands in fine shape with demand in all lines except lambs; these being dull. Cattle Are 35 Cents Higher. Cattle market is 25c higher all around for good stuff, with arrivals very small again. Trade in cattle Is show ing the uest improvement of the entire livestock market and top east of the mountain steers have been sold as high as $4.25 during recent trading. There Is an especial good demand for speyed cows and heifers and for the oetter class of this stock sales are being made around $3.60 3.66. Ordinary cows are ruling from $2.76 to $3, but the market is good. in the hog market best stuff is today ruling from $6 to $6.25 with most of the sales around $16ffi6.20. Receipts of hogs are light and this is Helping- tne trade somewnat. . Calves are in good demand for prime stuff but the season for good quality Is about over. All Look for Improvement. Among livestock commission handlers the opinion still prevails thRt condi tions will show an improvement from this time forth. Of the situation the various handlers say today: W. P. uould of Benson & Gould "Hog prices are going to hold about the present range from what I can Bee. C'attle'are sure to Improve but to some extent the big people have liberal sup plies at this time. Sheep are in good demand with few coming. The trade wants all kinds of mutton sheep. Lee M. Lacey of Hunt & Lacey "Cat tle market is firmer and higher anil there is a sood tone in hoes. In fact the demand is good at this time for all lines. Even sheep are now quoted firm with a good demand for everything. J. C. Lonergan "The market Is strong on hogs with higher prices rul ing, liecent arrivals of cattle have all been moved out and the market is in good shape at higher prices. There is a good demand for all sorts of Bheep ex cept lambs and packers seem to have plenty of these or awhile." A year aso todav all lines of live stock were weak at unchanged values.

Argentina cables were the influence which brought about a very sharp advance today in the Chi cago wheat market in the face of weak ness and lower prices agroad. While the closing at Liverpool was not so weak as at the opening of to day's session, the marxet there was far from showing bullishness. Liverpool opened to d under yesterday and closed unchanged at Vd under Mon day. While the latest advices from Argen tina contributed most to today's sharp advance here, the weekly report of the visible by Bradatreet also helped the bull side. - The big decrease In Europe and afloat1 is whut pulled down the world's visible, which shows as fol lows, according to Bradstreets: Wheat East of the Rockies.

Tht stock mar ket was generally easy today, with the exception of a few leaders, which closed higher. There was heavy buying of American shares In London by American banks, and this had a good effect upon an otherwise drooping; . market there.

A poUto that Isn't a potato and still la a potato was brought Into Tho Journal office this morning; by a man who wanted the freak of nature ex ploited. If the potato Isn't a potato it is probably a hand. It looks like the mlt of a ball player soon after the be- ? inning of the season. There are five lngera and all of them are terribly swollen. Some one suggested that the freak Is in reality a potato and .aat it was planted by a Seattle man who was, of course familiar with the big mlt Oth ers hold that providing the thing Is a potato. It was planted by a south paw who was thinking of bis favorite gams on the diamond, no doubt Or possibly the seed was planted by the light of the moon, by a cross-eyed col ored man when the wl:4d was blowing gently from the south and at a Tims when the stars were out and not behind a cloud in the sky. Anyway the thing grew and eventually some one dug il up. And the result is shown In the ac companying illustration. But as was said. It Isn't a potato, and It Is. The only way to decide what the thing really Is will be to take It home. If li fries or mashes or shoe strings of minces or bolls or bakes or lyonnaises, or anything of that sort It Is a potato, but In disguise, as sure as the world Is round. But If It doesn't do any of these stunts, why it simply isn't a potato. Is It? - K IS OPPOSED Councilman Annand's resolution, In troduced at yesterday afternoon's coun cil meeting, seeking to create a new paving district in the northwestern part of the city to be paved, with vitrified brick, met with a counter resolution from -Councilman Kellaher. who wants the district paved with Belgian blocks. Mr. Kellaher's resolution was a part of the fight he has made for some time against, what he calls "patent" pave ments, and is a part of a general plan that the east side councilman has out lined to secure open competition for all contractors in paving wor. While the Arinand resolution calls for alj the streets in the district tO'be tmved with vitrified brick, it does not specify the product of any one brick company; and as there are over 260 con cerns in the United States manufactur ing vitrified or paving brick, the term "patent" as applied to this class of pavement is thought to be out of place by a large number of the property- owners in tne proposea oisinci wno have signed up for vitrified brick pave ment. Paving, experts, who are familiar with the cost of the various paving materials, declare that the most expensive, brick i , i -J . f lavement is cheaper than Belgian block, s Just as durable and far more suitable to the streets Included In the district proposed to be created by the Annand resolution. The district named In the resolution Introduced by Mr. Annand is the terrU tory bounded by Thurman street, from Multnomah street to Front street; thence on Front to Twelfth: thence to Fif teenth, to Northrup, from Northrup to Nineteenth and from Nineteenth to Thurman. A small portion of this dis trict has already been paved and under the resolution has been excepted frprn Its provisions.
