Egg Market Is'llasler.
For strictly fresh local eggs the Front
trcet market stands today somewhat
easier. 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

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

or pound, and the general public nas
been taught to expect them at 15c.
. Hence the slower sale. .
While there are some local cranber
ries remaining in the market, they are
: not usually of good keeping quality, and
therefore find little sale. .
While the general market for dressed
1 meats has scarcely been changed along
Front street during the past few days,
some of ' the'dealers are said to be ob-

. One seller la said to be charging all
small butchers 10c a pound for veal,
' while the. usual price does not range be
vond '&c.'- For dressed hogs the
market is holding firm ,.at unchanged
prices. - ' .
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.
KAviren tmm California state that
the frost ahere has caused damage sf
bout $20,000 to tomatoes in the vr
clnity Of Fuilerton. Placentla. Whlttier
and La.Habra. Aoout 4Z cars, or twu
thirds of the crop have been shipped by
the California Vegetaoie union, ana at
least half the remainder, has been de
stroyed. Growers have been getting
$40 per ton since November 1."
Cabbage offerings are more plentiful,
nil the nrine la holding rather easy
around 1&1C a pound, the latter
for crated stock.
V Movement of apples continues heavy
at low prices, - . ., .
Rwnet notato crices are still mixed,
. but most dealers are now asking 2c for
best stock.
Brief Notes of Front Street Trad
Walnuts are being offered at lower
prices.
Colors of recent arrivals of oranges
? are better. Price same.
Tone In notato market is very slow,
with producers offering quite freely
.. again at low prices. Some dealers try
ing to unload.
Onions are firmer again, but outward
movement is small.
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.

Portland X'nion Stockyards. Dec. 8.
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

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.

There is a slight improvement in the
tone of the local oats market. 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.
There Is nothing doing in an export
way in the local flour market and values
are unchanged.

In fines, dismissed on a plea In abate
ment by the supreme court owing to the

been in the courts many years, again
comes to light on account of an appeal
taken by the government to the United
States circuit court of appeals.
When the question of collecting the
fine was dismissed bv the United States
supreme court, David M. Dunne, admin
istrator of the Mitchell estate, filed a
petition in the United States circuit

aismissea, getting rortn tne fact that
the fine h.'id been abated owlna- to the
urain vi me iramur. i ne contention
of the petitioner was upheld by Judge
Wolverton.
The governument claims that it la en
titled to the ftne. and has taken M
action to collect the money from the
estate of the former United States sen
ator. The first annual meeting nf th of
ficers, directors and agents of the Ore
gon Societies for Mutual Insurance con

.Voice of the Press Childish Pari
' .' . 1 . , From the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. ,
' The Oregon anomaly of a Republican Jegislaiure being instructed
" to vote for the election of Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, to the
United senate is creating a decided unrest among the Republicans
, ; of that state. 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. '
THE EFFORT TO NULLIFY THE VOTE BY THE CIRCU-
