While dealers report Jbat once In awhile they are able to obtain over 42c tor supplies, it Is generally im possible to secure more. Several prom inent Front stceet handlers state that eggs ere not moving any too well, even at the lower price. With milder weath- here there is every promise of some IncrVae In the arrivals. Already front etreet is getting more eggs than It was a week ago. and while every case In stantly moved out at that time at high est values a slower movement la shown est values a slower The 8ier tone in local eggs is not at all reflected In the eastern storage Sroduct; Some of the handlers who were still quoting as low asJSOc , m . down for irood eggs, have advanced their quo tation to Slo today, while others are Ihsrglng from that flfure to 84c. Some with eggs they call ''fresh -eastern" are ' asking a still higher figure. The big surplus of eastern Stock, has been en tirely cleaned up. , - . While the price of cranberries is ad vancing with swift strides in the east. the local market for imported goods is rather quiet, although the market can not bv any means be considered weak. The price of cranberries has already topped a figure where the general pub lio will buy. and for that reason the consumption will be smaller than is usually the rulaat this time; of the year, with cranberries at their pres ent price at wholesale the retail trade . . via ...

While there are some local cranber ries remaining in the market, they are : not usually of good keeping quality, and therefore find little sale. .

The late frosts did considerable dam- age to vegetables, and a scarcity is shown in some lines. There is a short age of first class cauliflower along vmnt strt. and nrices are firmer.

Fancy Ladv apples have sold as high " as $5 a box in the Front street markets riurlnr the oast 4 hours. The pack in the United States of canned apples this year was not to ex ceed 60 ner cent of that of 1907. This means better prices later on for the canned product. The markets already ahow an advance over opening prices. Front street sells at the following prices.

There was only a nominal run of live stock in the yards during the past 24 hours and in consequence the market Is firmer at former prices. While no salos of cattle are reported at the re- rnt advance in price, 4.(u is stm De- Iiik offered for select steers for the holiday trade. The cattle market is firmer' all the wav throuKh and cows and other grades aro feeling the Improvement made by the more ilDerai steer oemana, mere is no trouble at all in getting $3.50 for the better grade of cows and when bulls sell as high as 32.25 there must in conseuuence be quite a good demand at good prices for the better class of stock. sneep wanec is signer. There is a firmer tone with better price offered for sheep by local and northern killers. Ko sheep arrived in during the past 24 hours and the previ ous small arrivals were mostly gobbled up by local killers.' This has forced the outsiders to offer a higher price and even mixed sheep are today quoted stiff at 4. Bert' grades of wethers are in all probability worth 34.50 4.76 to day, practically an advance of 26c over former figures. Best trades of hogs are still in de mand around $6.25, but no recent ar rivals of top stuff have been shown ;ln the yards. Today's arrivals in the local yards compare with this day in recent years as follows: IIAs. rStl Shun J , ... v . . . UlltV, 1967 80 v 200 ... 1906 120 242 600 905 249 79 A vesr aeo todav cattle and hoes were firm but sheep were. slow at un changed values. Good Demand for Sheep. There is a very good demand for heep," says Tom C. Benson of BenSon c Oould today. "There are few, ar rivals and the call is therefore quite j nronounced. Any ao-rt of rat Bheep will bring $4 in the. yards at this time, i LOCAL CHEESE . HAS ADVANCED Some Sellers Move Flats Up to 10c a round Demand Greater Than Supply. Owing to the Inability of local people to secure sufficient supplies of cheese at the low figures which. have ruled so long recently there was an advance in Portland wholesale prices today. Some dealers are now askinsr 16c for flats although others have not yet advanced the price over 15c today. However, some of the latter were only charging 14 He recently. For Young Americas toe same advance is shown. Puget sound markets are again buy lng cheese here. For a time they made their assertion that the price of the Oregon product was so high that ship ments of largo quantities would be brought from the east, but as. cheese cannat be landed here from the east at lower figures the local trade believes it was merely a blurt. Thece is a very firm tone in local butter prices which are unchanged from yesterday. cranberries, local, $11.60 bbl; eastern. flZ.bO DDI.

While the demand is not extensive there are few offerings of supplies and this is holding the price quite steady. On the board of trade today there was quite fair bidding for oats but none were offered at figures that met the ap proval of buyers and no sales were shown. While wheat is being held very firm by producers there is little buying" re ported. The recent chartering of a steamer to take out a load of grain has caused a further stiffening of the views of holders.

It is difficult for them to believe that the same people would elect a Republican legislature and at the same time instruct the member s so elected to choose a Democrat But nuch a result is , , entirely explicable, even supposing there was no scratching. Mem bers of the legislature were elected by counties, while the expres sion on the senatorship was a general .state vote. It is entirely pos sible that the, suppressed minorities in the counties aggregated enough-to change the plurality in the state-wide vote. , Besides, these are days of independent voting, and Governor Chamberlain ,eems to be a man who is bigger than party a man to whom an .independent voter would be apt to be drawn.
