Chickens are showing very heavy ar
rivals for the last few days and sup
plies are accumulating with low prices
the rule. Because of the better demand
for turkeys there is scarcely any call
for chickens at this time, but later on
there may be an Improvement In select
stock of the latter because of the scarc
ity of best quality turkeys.
Dressed ducks and geese are In good
demand, 'especially for select quality,

-more especially In the select local fresh.
Arrivals of fresh Teggs in the Front

are In most Instances firmer today, as
high as 0c a dozen. Several dealers
continued st talk 7o this morning;,
but it is likely that they will ail be

Eastern eggs, while firmer, are show

Salem Territory Does Not Contribute

(Salem Bureau of Tbt JoaraaLi
Salem. Or., Nov. 23. Shipments of
turkeys to outside markets from 8a
lem this week will not be heavy. The
local market has started strong, rangint
from 20 to 22 cents for best dressei
turkeys. The local market must be sup
Piled first and Dresent conditions in
dlcste that as good if not better prices
can be obtained at Salem by the raisers
as at Portland. Best prices quoted hers
uy r-oruaid mercnants are not constu
ered attractive.
Thrp nrp hnw.rpr fdr farniara
that have already bargained ijith Port
land mercnants for the delivery or large
quantities or turkeys but It is expect-,
eil shipments to Portland markets will
be mucb below the average. Nearly ail
turkeys raised in the vicinity of Salem
will be consumed in the local markets.
Those iwho raise turkeys near the
smaller settlements will ship the most
turkeys to the city and of the extent
of those shipments Salem dealers are
not In a position to Judge.
It is thought the past season has
been an average one for raising turkevs,
but few farmers have paid much at
tention to that side of the poultry in
dustry. The labor is too bothersome
end Income too uncertain to offer al
luring Inducements to the average farm
er of the valley, with his large fruit or
bop Interests. So that it Is pretty gen
erally estimated turkey shipments from
the Immediate vicinity of Sa.em will
not be large this week.

Portland Union Stookyards, Nov. IS.
The livestock market wants good
quality more than ever and Just now
best stuff Is rather hard to get. Ftvet
loads of California stuff were ready
for the market this mor:,?ng. The steers
wo in eiceueni snaye ana wtfignea
close to 1,200 pounds on an average.
They brought $4.26 for best and the
market would have taken more at this
figure. To be select the steers must
weigh close to the figures shown by
the California arrivals and but little of
this quality Is now coming from local
points. The best steers recently shown
from northwest sections of late have
not brought over $4 and medium steers
have recently sold down as low as
$3.60.
While some low nrlces have been ef
fective in the cattle market recently It
was through no fault of the market for
the tone just now Is quite good. The
trade wants the best and Is willing to
pay for It but because of the over
supplies of ordinary and poor stuff the
trade Is very discriminating In what It
selects and pays for. While In some
Instances It waa possible to secure top
price for ordinary ..goods. It was not In
a period similar to this when killers
had too much ordinary quality and
practically none of the stock that will
be called top.
Better Tone la Bbeep Market.
While there was a fair run of sheep
over Sunday, there Is still a
scarcity In the local market. No sheep
were received either Friday or Satur
day, a nominal number Thursday and
none at all on Wednesday.
There was a slightly softeV tone In
the hog market today but trade was not
hurt to any extent and former Values
continue to rule.
Today's arrivals of livestock in the
yards compare with this day in recent
years as follows:
Hogs. Cattle. Sheep.

Chicago, Nov. S3. The Record-Herald
says: "The ' average
banker, makes no secret of ac
count that he has been disapr
pointed In the after-election de
mand for money for business
use. The reaction In money
rates clearly shows that the re
vival In trade since the election
; has not been on the great scales
suggested by many of the exag
gerated reports which have been
published and the unreliability
of these reports la accentuated
by the fact that New York banks
last week actually gained several
millions of dollars In cash, near
ly one million of which came
from the interior. The AUls
Chalmers Company reports an
Increase of over 60 per cent In
new business for the month, of
October compared with the pre
vious month. A decided better
ment Is also reported for the
first half of November.
New Tork, Nov. 23. A foreign situa

generally lower. The market was not
active at anv time during the day
although the sales were aulle good.
Late In the day the small losses made
at the opening were recovered In many
instances, but some of the leaders closed
