Egg Market Turns Wnnsr.
There was a firmer tono In the egg
market along. Front street today. Ar
rivals of strictly fresh local stock are
very light, although s6me nandlers are
securing better supplies than they were
a short time ago. Today the market
was very firm at 374 c for best .quality
and unless there is a change for the
better In thevoIume of supplies there
is Utile doubt that higher prices will
be the outcome within the next few
days. There has of late been a firmer
tone in the eastern market, and prices
all along the coast are materially high
er than nt Portland. At San Francisco
the price of selected ranch eggs stands
as high as 65c a dozen as compared
with 374e, the best prices that has
been available here. While the market
in the north Is quoted much higher than
at Portland It is noticeable that when
ever supplies of select Oregon ranch
eggs are sent there the returns are no
higher than are allowed by Portland
commission men, even though our mar
ket is much lower.
Best selected eastern eggs are now
selling ss high as 3 So a dozen in Port
land market, with sales of various qual
ities down as low as 27 He
Most Turkeys Are Tory Poor.
Unlike the arrivals of last season the
receipts of turkeys in the Portland mar
ket thus far this year have been gen
erally or poor quality. Few of the
birds haVe consisted of select stock,
and for that reason the top price was
seldom available. The high cost of
feed Is very likely the cause of the off
quality. Best turkeys (alive) are sell
ing along Front street around 18c a
pound, although sales of poor birds are
reported made as low as 16c. From the
present Indications there will be a very
wide range in. turkey: prices this rea
son ttie good birds will evidently com
mand a premium, while the poor qual
ity will find Just fair aala. .. . ,
Heavy Arrivals of Chickens. v
Heavy arrivals of chickens continue
in the Front street markets and the
channels of the trade ere completely
glutted at the moment. The indurations
are that a lower range of values will
rule, because this is the time, of year
when chickens usually sell low. Were
the chickens of good quality they Would
likely find a better call, but they are
Just about as poor as the ordinary run
of turkeys.
Steady Ton in Butter.
A very steady tone is noted in the
.-local butter market, but there are no
Indications of any early change in val
ues. While the make of local butter
Is small the-market- la. so full of East
ern Storage' stuff that were the local
people to advance their values It would
result in helping the sale of eastern
stock at the materially lower values.
While the cheese market is steady,
no change is shown either in the de
mand or price.
Brief Notes of Front Street.
Arrivals of dreeRed meats and espe
cially hogs are quite heavy along Front
street. Prices same: A .better move
ment of dressed veal 1s likewise report
ed. Some come In Just fair shape, and
therefore did not bring top values..
Cranberries are quoted firmer, accord
ing to Front street handlers, and the
best eastern stock is selling as blgh as
$12.60 a barrel.
Most hop dealers are out In the coun
try today, and some deals are likely
to be reported within the coming 48
hours. General trend of the market is
unchanged.
Offerings of potatoes are more lib
eral, and with an entire absence of out
side business some of the dealers are
offering to sell potatoes In round lots
at a decline of 10 lo ISc.
Onion market la rather easy, ,wlth
California stock being freely offered
here at 11.10 a sack.
Sllverslde salmon Is very scarce and
about the only arrivals in the market
at this time is bright fall salmon. Price

MILK AT THE DALLES
The Dalles, Or., Nov. 19. There Is a
scarcity of milk In The Dalles, owing
to an increase In population. Dairy men
who operate the sanitary milk depot
complain that they cannot procure a
supply at Portland, Washougal or any
place near The Dalles. It Is probable
that larger herds will have to be estab
lished near the city. There are already
over half a dozen large dairies near this
city that send all their milk to The

Portland Union Stockyards, Nov. 19.
Good fat cattle are quoted very firm in
the yards at this time around $4.25, but
in order to bring this price the quality
must be good. It is in the ordinary
stuff the lean and improperly fed cat
tle that the market is inclined to show
any degree of dullness. J Packers and
killers welcome the arrival of fat fin
ished cattle, but they have been fed
upon a diet of poor, thin stuff for so
long that their stomachs have revolted.
Just now they are doing everything in
their power to discourage the shipment
of off-grade cattle to market. The
method they take in this discouraging
work is simply to cut the price to such
a figure that there is necessarily much
complaint from the shippers when their
iviuiiia cuiiie in.
While this method of stopping ship
ments of livestock that is not wanted
has been effective in ireliiinE the end
desired, at other times it seems to have
failed utterly thus far in the Portland
market for this movement. The run of
poor quality continues liberal and day
after day a large portion of the ar
rivals are carried over by commission
handlers simply because buyers want
the market to be slow.
Higher Price in Ehep.
A higher price Is rullnar in the local
sheep market becaue of the Improved
demand. Because of the UmitpH arrival
killers are todav offering an advance of
about 25c for the better class of stock,
although ordinary quality Is unchanged.
i.amns are now corning about as heavy
as eheep and for that reason the killers
are not willing to pay such high prices
as formerly. The commission trade is
now quoting as high as $4 for select
wethers with some going down to $3.76.
Straight ewes are flndine a demand
around $3.253.60 and mixed ewes and
wetners (about half and half) are belne
quoted at $3.60!gi3.75.
Hoks are sliowintr a Rtendv tone with

While the San Francisco market
shows a serious decline in the price
of barley today, local holders do not
show the slightest change In their
views. In - San Francisco May barley
dropped from $1.63 to $1.49 l'pr cen
tal todav while the December delivery
went from $1.51 to $146'!', While
this Is ona of the most serious de
clines noted In the coast harley mar
kets for some time, the local trade
takes the view that Ban l- rancisco nas
been advancing its barley prices alto
gether too fast.
Locally the market for barley futures
has not kept pace with the many late
advances of the San Francisco market.

Interesting as a novel instructive as a text-book. It gives the
history ot accounting, starting centuries before the time when
contracts were recorded by notches on a stick. Gives in concrete
form hundreds of suggestions for short cuts in accounting, and
new ways for handling detail that will help any business man
president, manager or clerk to attain to a better day's work.
It Is not a Burroughs Catalogue. It is a result of scholarly
research and business experience which you'll reed with
pleasure and profit It's worthy of a place in your library.

While the prices. In the south were
frolng upward at a pace that would
nvite heavy shipments, now that these
shipments are going forward there is
no need to decoy growers further so
today values in the south went to a
basis where the local trade believes
they should have been all the time.
Among the Portland barley trade the
opinion Is general that barley will sell
higher at a distant date this season arrfl
for that reason the fact that local
warehouses are full of barley has not
in the least disturbed them.
California Is again buying oats In
this market and is paying around for
mer quotations. Today the Portland
Board of Trade reports the sale. of 400
tons of January oats at $31.50 track
this city. There was no change In any
of the grain futures on the Board of
Trade today.

OFFICIALlPiT OF
CROPS IH ARGENTINA
Secretary Fred Muller of the board
of trade Is in receipt of the report of
the Argentina government Just issued,
giving complete details of the last har
vest of wheat, linseed, . and oats, as
well as the exports and other data up
to July 31, 1908.
This report shows a rapid expansion
of cereal culture and exports. The re
port Is as follows:

, 492,770 883,117 147,360
Including flour.
It Is estimated that 1,300,000 tons of
wheat and 100,000 tons of Jtnseed are
needed for consumption, while nearly
the whole production of oats is export
ed, therefore the quantities of wheat
and linseed available for expqrt are
estimated at 4.0.00,000 and 1.000,000 tons,
respectively, leaving still to be export
ed this year 800,000 tons of wheat. 150,
000 tons of linseed, and 100,000 tons of
oats.
The present price of these grains is
higher than last year, so that the com
parison of this year's harvest with that
of last year Is favorable to the agricul
tural Industry, while the future harvest

show why Burroughs is better than
