Newspaper Page Text12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14,' .1808.' i WORLD'S MARKETS UIIIFORIil SACKS FOB POTATOES System of Handling Stock Here in Voffue Now Does Xot 3Ieet With Favor. TODAYS WHOLESALE MARKETS New system for potatoes. Potato market firmer. IjOvaX eggs are easier. Eaeteru eggs are holding. Turkeys are coming again. Milk fight has merely started. Bananas come In fair shape. Strawberries from Los Angeles. California tomatoes higher. Bell peppers shoving advance, l Vew potato SeUiag System. That the resent method of selling potatoes In this market Is not satlsfac tory to any Interest is known by all but to data there has been, no combined ef fort 1 to change conditions. Sacks of -.potatoes come to this market allowing all aorta of weights; some scarcely 100 . nnunds. while others showing 160 ' nnunrfa The latter, however, is an ex caption to the -rule as most sacks weigh around 110 and 115 pounds each. Aa potatoes sell generally in this market at so much per pound at wholesale and '. so much per sack at retail the troubles of the, trade can therefore be easily tint aH Th nroduaar on the Other hand receive ao much per pound and as far i as he is coneernea me present ramnuu is the best ami most profitable. That there must be a change of some sort In tho nvitem Is believed by most ln- '. terests for the retailers are crying for It and it is quite possible tnat tne re tail Grocers' association may take some action on the matter in the near future. Retailers claim it Is unfair to them to bo compeUed to sell potatoes by the sack and buv" them by the-pound. If - nnn sella a sack of notatoeg at 11.35 sack his competitor must of necessity . meet this value and Unless all sacks ' are uniform In weight some one ls go- . inr to lose most of his profits. It 1 now proposed to have all sacks of pota- toes weigh Just 100 pounds. Whether the producer will fall in line with this ' iaea remains to ds seen. Potato Market Is Pinner. There, la a firmer tone in the local 'potato market at this time and prices , have stiffened somewhat In a Jobbing way ' Demand from the south is in creasing somewhat for the better grade , but prices are still out of line for any grea F ' Improvement in local shipments. Growers as a rule are firm In their views most Of them having a change of heart during the past week. Early Rose for seed are in liberal de mand but supplies are scant and al though buyers are freely offering 1" a pound they are unable to fill the bulk of their orders from the south. Market for sweet potatoes Is rather firm with best stock holding at 12. n Xrfwal Xffgs Airs Easier. While receipts of local eggs are not showing any heavy Increase, the volume . coming forward is greater than during recent weeks. The quality is greatly improved for this reason. Because of 'the larger supplies, however, retailers are not buying so freely with the ex . pectation of a lower- range of values. : Various values are still ruling, some dealers charging as high as 42 He while others say they are selling as low aa 40c. However, none of the select stock ; is going at the lower figure. Eastern eggs are holding rather . steady with a wide range of values for the seme goods. Supplies in storage ; are well nigh, exhausted. Sales from 30 to 35c a dozen. ' Chicken Market Zs Easier. There is an easier feeling in the lo cal chicken market and sales are being made around 12 He with the market not verv attractive at that figure. Creamery butter market is steady to firm although some interests says .that with the slight Increase in cream sup plies they do not clean up as readily aa formerly. No change in values today. Cheese Is quoted firm and rather scarce for best quality. No change In price. Strawberries Are Coming Again. Two refrigerator crates of strawber ries were among the rail arrivals from Los Angeles. Sell at 26c per -pound box. Four cars of bananas were unloaded this morning. Fair shape. Generally ripe. Bell peppers from Los Angeles are quoted higher. 20c a pound today.

"I believe that the Drlce of cattle will break a few high records in the spring and that beef prices will likely break a few high figures as well as the con sumers' pocketbook." So said William H. Daughtrey, president of the Port land yards today. In commenting upon me general situation. 'I believe that The Journal's esti mate of a half shortage in feeders from a year ago or .recent seasons Is very conservative; In fact, I believe the shortage will reach still higher flgurea There is only about a third as manv cattle helna fed in the Butter creek country this season than Is usu ally the case) and what reports I have from the -various sections show gen eral decreases In available auDnllea. Of all the districts the Hudson Bay coun try tin Walla Walla way Is the only one to show a larger number of feed ers than a year ago. Yakima is fully half short and there Is about the same decrease shown in operations around Ontario." High price for a Cow. A record price was paid for a cow for recent operations in the local yards when the Union Meat company nur- chased an animal weighing 1450 pounds at 34.25. This Is an enormous price for a cow at this time but the buyers say it was extra select and well Worth the money. The general trend of the cattle market is toward additional firm ness. Steers are bringing top figures quite easily while the lower grade stuff is disposed of at better values. AH other fines of livestock show a very firm tone today with values about the same. . Today's arrivals In the yards com pare with this day in recent years as follows: Hogs. Cattle.

There Is quite a liberal demand for Oregon apples In the California mar kets for the holiday trade. A number of fair sized purchases of No. 2 and ordinary Hood River and Up per Columbia fruit have been reported during the past few day?. The movo ment of valley stock" to this market seems to be over: at least the bulk of it. There is still quite a heavy load of small sizes in this market and some five tier Spltzenberga have been sold as low as 75c a box. For ordinary ap- les the prices are badly mixed, but it takes something exceptional at this time to bring over 31.00i&31.25 a box. The movement, however, to the outside Is Increasing and the trade Is now an tedating higher values in the late win ter or early spring months. PORTLAND PRODUCE RECEIPTS frisco mm .

Lawson's message tellinsr the trade to sell steel at anything over 60 had but little effect upon the market. While there was a reaction from the high mark, the loss waa a natural one and fitted In with general conditions. Southern 'Pacific was bullish as was Reading, with good advances early, which were lost later on liquidation.
