No supplies can be shipped to San Francisco because of the low prices there and shipments to Arizona and Texas are out of the question because , of the very low figures California grow ers are still willing to let bo at The local demand for potatoes 1b quite fa"1, but most of the trade is at this time being supplied by growers direct from wagons to tlie retail grocers and for that reason there is only a nominal (movement along Front street Holding Onion Market steady. The market for .onions Is being held tn firm hv the a-rowers and ' Crnnt street values are unchanged from ni-vinim fieures. Efforts of some houses to break the local market By importing supplies from California have " failed although the Imported stock has had the effect of keeping local values from climbing higher.- Without the re cent Importations from the south there would not have been a sufficient amount of home grown onions offered to fill the requirements or tne traae. . . , rill December Bop Contracts. Now that Thanksgiving is over, the .op trade has begun to awaken and sev eral sales have been reported around previous figures. It Is stated that a number of short .eontraets for December tk-llvery" are now being filled. Plncus of Taeoma Is still holding; off his pur chases and it is stated that outside of the settlements he recently made In cash he still believes that lower prices will prevail. Hops of quality nre. get f ting very scarce, but there is still plen ty of ordinary goods offering around former values. Efforts to booBt the market have failed. Just as did the ones to pull prices still lower. The New York Producers' Price Current gives the following view of the hop market in its latest issue: "The market in New Tork state the past week has been somewhat quieter ' with a consequent easing off of prices, r Transactions have been limited to small lots here and there. Range of prices re '. norted are from lie to l!V4c to grower. Jocally an uninteresting market con tinues. No buying; of any importance Is reported. Business with brewers con tinues very slow. Reports from Ger many are of a slightly better feeling over there on best goods, rouowtng tne decline of last week. English markets are quiet, with large offerings of low rrade, hops." i ' Haw Tork Bop prices. State, 1908, prune to choice, per lb . 1S14 State, 1908. medium to good.

With the birds averag ing 12 pounds each it is estimated that just about 1,000 birds were put away owing to the luck of purchasers. While much the larger per cent of the turkeys rushed Into storage bv the dis appointed retailers were of poor quality --thin or badly dressed stock quite a number of birds put away were of prime stock. . Turkeys continue to come to the Front street markets and there is no demand at this time.

There Is a slightly easier tone In the local wheat market, with some buyers offering; a decline of lc a bushel from former quotations. The volume of buy ing Is email, except at one or two places, and there quite fair sized purchases have been reported. With a mixed tone in other world's markets today local buyers were not inclined to venture one way or the other in a decided manner. Some report purchases of small lots of club around 89c basis, track delivery here, but some that are not buying say the market still remains at 90c. f oreigners are disposed to hold their hands off the market for the time being and today's quotations for futures at Liverpool and Antwerp are lower. Un the Portland board of trade todav there was a slightly firmer tone in oats for prompt shipment and a sale of 500 tons of No. 1 white was made at J31.75, which is 25c above previous values. For oats or wneat rutures there was no change on the board of trade during the uay a session, tne market reflecting a holjday character. There was an easier tone in the bids for barley futures on the board of trade today, with a fractional decline in val ues.

Pendleton, Or., Nov. 27. Wheat in Pendleton yesterday reached 77 cents, til? highest price quoted since early In the season, and as a result several crops were disposed of by Umatilla county growers at that price. Aitnougn tne rirst quotation received by local Duyers were at a considerable less' price, the grain advanced during the day, and when 77 cents wa reached the offer was accepted by several far mers, who disposed of whole or parts of crops. Acordlng to the buyers, however, tht-re are still growers who are waiting a return 01 u cents, a price wrncti was offered early in the season. The price of 77 cents was paid for wheat of first class quality yesterday, and it Is said that considerable or the grain unsold in the county as yet will scarcely come up to the standard which brought that price. Early In the present season SO cents was offered by the buyers, and a big Sortlon of the crop went at that price. ,ater wheat dropped, and most of the farmers held for a return which they were confident would follow long be fore the present time. In this thev were disappointed and during the last few weeits a Dig portion or wnat wag held has been disposed of at better than 76 cents. Portland Union Stockvarda. Nov. 27. During the past few days there has beei considerable weakness In the eastern livestock situation. more esnecinllv hogs, and this has brought about a weaker feellna In the Portland vards. Today hogs are selling from 10c to 16c lower ror pest Blurr put ordinary stock Is almost 25c lower than a few day ago. Arrivals of hogs continue quite liberal and the taking by killers have not kept pace with the Inward move ment. The result is that killers are more discriminating in their purchases and to secure the top prices hogs must come up to tne scratch. (Tattle Advance Is Expected. While no sales of steers have been made over 34.26 In the local yards of late, the market Is aainlns In firmness every day and now the general expecta tions of the trade are that nrlces will do better the coming week. The run of steers today was verv llcht and Included altogether but 75 cattle. While yester day was a holiday and 172 head ar rived the market was in very good shape ior an gruaes mis morning. A few sheep nut in HDDearance last night and found an anxious and walt- ng marKet. The demand for KheeD is increasing ana uvesiocK commission men all agree that prices will do better. todays arrivals of livestock com pare with this period in recent years as iouowh: Hogs. Cattle, 141 10 25 115 20 19 What the Dealsrs Bay. Tom Benson of Benson & Gould: cattle market is In better shape many inquiries for good stock. small receipts shown. Prime steers are very nrm. as nign as J4.26,. with poor stock selling down to J3.50. The pros pects for an advance In the local cattle market were never better than at this time and I believe there will be a rise next week unless the situation changes materially. Six cents Is the top buy ers are offering for the run of hogs to day and the tone Is somewhat slow in consequence. Only a few sheep are ar riving and the market Is in very good shape." Hunt & Lacey: "We look for a better market for all lines of livestock al though hoas now comtns are not bring ing former top levels. Uood steers are In demand and prices look better al though no change is shown today. Sheep are slow In arriving and we have little doubt that extra good wethers will bring 34,25. or maybe better. Lambs are so heavy that they are now selling at al most the same price as ordinary sheep." A year ago today there was a slightly better feeling In livestock but va,lues were unchanged.
