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.

While there was no change from yes
terday in future wheat prices on the
Portland board of trade the market is
firmer all round. 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. '

Portland Union fetockyards, Nov. 17,
There is a very good tone in all lines
of the local livestock market today.
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.
To-day's run of livestock compares
with" the movement on this day in re
cent years as follows:

Chicago, Nov. 17. 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

NOT DISCUSSED
The regular monthly meeting of the
Northern Pacific Terminal company was
held In the offices of Superintendent
l.yons at tne union depot yesterday.
Although General Manager Nutt of ne
Northern. Pacific coast lines was among
those, present at the meeting it ts said
that -the question of the 8, P. com
ine Into' the Union !enot was not dis
cussed. The matter, it was explained.
Is up to the legal departments of the
Bill and Ilarrlman roads in New York
city.
New York, Nov. XT. 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.
Union Pacific and Chicago Great
Western were the leaders of today's
trading, the latter showing heavy buy
ing, with a sharp advance to Its credit
Within the space of about a month the
price of Great Western has more than
doubled. ' ' ,
The summary of the Wall Street Jour
nal says today:
"Americans in London Irregular, with
strength in Reading and the Harrimans.
New Uaven and Boston St Mains merger
hearing; comes before the' court In Bos
ton today. Iron and steel trad show
ing Improvement every, day. Severe de
cline in Japan stocks on the exchange
on account of the; death of the emperor
and empress of China. Steel is expected
to show unfilled orders equal to last
spring. Foreign visible copper Novem
ber 16 was 62,835 tons, an increase of
about 1,303 tons.". ,.

Freak Potato Grown Near Portland.
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? -

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.
WON'T LIVE WITH WIFE
BUT oUPPOETS HER
Frank H. frighten, arrested yester
day on a charge of non-support made
by his wife, was released from the
county Jail this morning on giving a
$300 bond. He declares that his wife
had him arrested because he would not
live with her, but that he had given
her $100 for support within the last
three weeks.
Blacks Jail Bird's Eye.
,f?o angry was Jack Kenney when ar
rested last night on a charge of drunk
enness that after he bad been put in
Jail he gave vent to his. feelings by
assaulting several of the jyrlsoners, pre
senting one of them, Harry Kllgare.
with a black eye. Kenney was haled
into the police court this morning,
where he told his troubles to the Judge
and was fined $5.
