The movement of apples along Front

the prices In effect on most of the sales
are very low. Quit good apples are

exceptional In Quality to bring 11.26 or

iT.BOr while "the : 11.15 apples of today
were priced at $1.60 or 1.75 a few
weeks ago. While the lower prices In
effect on oranges has something to do
with the drop in apple values, the enor
mous supplies of the latter are the prin
cipal cause. The past season because ot
its unusually prolonged dry spell turned
out more small sisea of apples than ever
Kfni-a anA the bulk of these were
shipped to the Portland and other coast
,. markets. "
OooA Movement ef Cheat) Hops,
According to the local trade there Is
now quite a gooa movement v
. Them lit on an occasional
sale In choice goods, because -of the
small offerings in the hands of produc
ers, but medium grade Is plentiful, and
for this quality the bulk of the demand
is now shown.. Prices are about the
same. . ' "
jap Oranges Are Selling Well.
. There Is quite a good demand shown
for Japanese oranges because of the
good quality of first shipment ' Yester
day's price still in effect. 4
. the regular orange market la rather
mixed aa to prices. Receipts are in
creasing., and a number of -ears of
navels are now due. A feature of spe
rlal interest this season la that the
bulk of the early orange crop consists
ef small sisea, and for that, reason
prices on the larger fruit show a prem-
. A car of bananas arrived In green but
good condition this morning. . --.r
- Cheese Market Movement Setter. .:
Quite a good improvement la being
shown tn : the cheese market Local
handlers -report much larger volume of
sales to the north, and this has taken
out such liberal supplies' that some of
the orders can not be filled on time.
While - the Indications now are that
- cheese values will advance, there was
no change today.
Creamery butter is firm, but un-
; changed tn price.
!T:C&ickea Xarkri Is Higher. ,;
Another advance, of o a pound Is
shown today in the chicken market.
With smaller arrivals and the retail
trade retting over its scared condition,
there is a much stlffer tone tn chickens. '
Itttmand'is now shown for all lines, with
12o for mixed lots and 12efor hens.'
No turkeys are arriving, and prices in
that line are nominally quoted. 1

Local hothouse cucumbers are ar
riving, with price at $i.GQ a dozen.
Cabbage market is firm for beet qual
ity, but ordinary stock is Just steady.
Demand for dressed meats continues
heavy, with light arrivals. . However.
? resent price for veal Is so high that
nw of the butchers can afford to han
dle It. . .
. Potatoes and onions are unchanged.
' With the aDroach of Christmas there
is a better demand for pumpkins around

rhlr-jiB-n. Dec. 4. Foreign cables were
sufficiently strong today to cause in
itial advances la wheat prices here, but
the market drifted into extreme dullness
shortly after and at' the close there waa
little change in values from those In
effect at the close yesterday. For the
December ontlons the nrlce was
higher at 11.06, but the, May and July
deliveries were showing, no change at
all. ,
There was real strength abroad all
day. Liverpool opened to .d above
yesterday for the three options of wheat
and made a further gain during th
day, closing to d above Thursday'
final fia-urea. - .
The market responds easily at this
time to any nows from either Argen
tina or Russia. The market ls very
heavilv oversold from all Indications and
it - does not take much, to scare the
shorts into Covering. .

prospects no changes of moment , are

There is a very firm tone In other
lines of livestock, with cattle firmest.
For the 24 hours the arrivals of cattle
were very small, only 68 head appear-

and this is the reason why the ton
