Efforts to deceive the meat trade by shipping dressed goat and calling thorn veal are still being made by interior shippers who continue to send this stock , to market. The, recent great scarcity of dressed veal, and the high prices therefor caused some of the interior goat men to kill a few of their stock and ship them to market carefully dressed ano made- to resemble veal as much aa possible. For awhile It Is stated some of the butchers took these goats In the place of veal expecting to make good profits but the meat evi- oenuy am not give uivnui when the arrivals became more liberal the demand stopped suddenly until at this time It is hard to sell the bogus veal ;at any price. ' throughout the dressed meat market today owing to the nearness of Thanks giv'ng and the fact that the retail shop will open for but a few minutes tomor row morning and under present weather conditions the meat would not be sale able Friday morning. Thia applies more to the veal market than hogs for th former will not keep so satisfactorily as the latter. Price about the same. Soma Washington Hops Bold. According to McNeff Bros, there have been a number of deal In Washington hops during the past . few-days around -6Vt(lc a pound. There Is nothing of Interest In the local market at this time; trade showing a holiday char acter. Dealers are busily engaged In shipping their contracted stuff and for that reason have little time to enter the n-.arket ev(en though they had oraers to buy. Colorado Frosts Kurt Potatoes. Information received by a local ship- rer states that the recent frosts in the "olorado -potato districts flW Consid erable damage to tne crop. 11 is now eat (mated that about 15 oer cent of the total crop was still In the ground at the time CI tne irosi ana mai luuy iu per cpnt of this was entirely ruined: the remaining 6 per cent being badly nipped and will not likely enter the market This means the withdrawal of a considerable amout of Colorado stock from the market thus allowing the California surplus to clean up easier and earlier tnan expeeiea. Accoramg to the Colorado advices the bulk of that state's crop has already been sold. Sell Potatoes Lower. During the past 24 hours a sale of quite a stock of fancy potatoes was made along Front street between deal ers at 80c a sack. The local market Is extremely quiet with no outside shlp menta because of the low prices else where. Some srrowers are evidently set ting frightened for the offerings of stock by proaucers are increasing. Onion market continues to drag wear ily along with producers letting go of second grade stock out noiaing on to tne best quality. Brief Votes of Pront Street.

The average price, for good birds Is therefore about 23 He. . ; Some dealers who did hot receive more than a doxen birds retailed them to their friends at a fractiosi better than Zbo m some instances wher select quality was wanted. Trie nig packers wnue n some Instances asking a higher price, were not, willing to purchase any more turkeys along Front street,, for all of them had as many as they needed . be cause of the high values. Live turkeys came In quite freelydur Ing the 24 hours and unless . showing fancy quality did not meet with much demand. All the big retailers have all the turkeys thev need and the only shortage la among the smaller handlers. However, some of the larger retailers were- selling birds to the smaller ones, thus indicating that supplies are not so short as some .thought A heavier supply of dressed geese ar rived than expeqted but fancy stock sold freely around 15lo a po,nd. Live ducks, geese and chickens were neglected generally although the tone In chickens was not quite so stagnant as a day or so ago. f and grease,. 2 2 He, CHITTAM BARK ' 4H6c lb.

The stock mar ket lost heavily late In the sesHlon with the appearance of rumors that the Erie railroad was about to Issue bonds for a heavy amount. Previous to this there had been a liberal advance In the gen eral market with the leading Issue sharply highef. i:hpf among those af fected by the. early bullishness were the Harriman shares, and principally South ern Pacific. The announcement that the Southern Pacific had applltsl to the stock exchange to list an additional $74,864,000 In common stock which will eventually result in the retirement of the preferred Issue, was what caused the sharp upward movement 4n that security early in the day. All or this advance was lost previous to the duose. Southern Pacific closing 4 of a pant under yes terday and Union Paclflf of a point lower.

"The cattle market Is rinfn htfr" says Tom Benson of Benson & Oould, today. ,-I believe that the miarlrot tnr cattle will improve soon and that high er prlcea will rule. Hogs are not quite ou j inn iwisy. j nere is a Detter de mand for sheeD in fact the i are many w-lth practically no arrivals." j. j. ionergan says or tne situation: 'I believe that the cttl mnrir.i will do better In the near future, both as regards prices and demand. Sheep mar ket is very firm at present prices with some of the northern packers Inclined to offer a fraction higher for select quality. Hog prices will probably re main where they are for the present." ah nmrneis are steady, ' says Lie Lacey. of Hunt A Lacev "and nrire are generally well maintained. Cattle are -firmer with more inquiries, too, for sheep. Few of the latter are com ing forward at this time."

The cash wheat situation Is showing more than the ordinary holiday dullness, and nothing of Interest has transpired in the market during the oast day or so. Cash oats market Is steady to firm with little business In sight, but tnere is some movement of barley to the south at for n)er values. Business In export flour has become so dull and lifeless that the millers are no longer receiving dally cables regard ing conditions. On the Portland ftpard of trade today the attendance was light, with little In terest In the bidding. November and December wheat options are down c In both the bid and ask price. There was no chance In oats futures, but to day's weakness in San Francisco with the lower prices there for barley caused a loss of c In the bid for No vember and lc oer cental for the De cember.

Many of them believe it is an Incurable disease, which is far from being the truth, as I have demonstrated not only hun dreds but thousands of times. Varicocele results from partial paralysis of ' the delicate nerve fibers that have a part In controlling local circulation of the blood. The muscular coatings of the veins, being deprived of nerveous communication and control, become Inactive, weaken and relax. The blood vessels expand from the pressure within, the circulation in the parts becomes sluggish, and frequent stangnant pools form In little nooks and pockets that constantly enlarge as me relaxation contin ues. The possibility exists that clots may form In these stagnant pools and then pass out into, the general circulation. Should one find lodg ment In a valve of the heart, the result might be Instant death, or should it be carried to the brain, general paralysis would follow. I guarantee to cure varicocele in one week by a method that Involves no painful processes. No other physician employs a like method, and so thorough Is my work that there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse Into the old con dition. It Is not a question of whether you can be cured, but whether you will be cured. Don't wait Until It Is too late. My method for the treat ment of varicocele is perfect and quick. The cure Is absolutely certain. I use NO KNIFE, cause no pain, and you need not be detained from vour work for one day. I especially solicit those cases in which the many so-called treatments have failed, or where money has been wasted on electric belts and other appliances.
