TODAY'S MARKET FEATURES.
Vegetables are cjlmbing up.
Eastern coffees are advanced.
Jigg market Juki holding
i Break in chicken values.
Turkey demand to be good.
Dressed meats hard to gel
' Idaho potatoes offering here.
Cheese is firm; butter easier
' Cabbage market holding well.
Big movement of apples.
Cranberry market is mixed.
Vegetable PricMi Are Climbing.
With the colder weather and the
greater Importation of vegetables from
the south as a result or local scan-uy.
prices are beginning ? move upward.
Just at this time with both local and
outside supplies the market Is generally
showing a full condition. Tomatoes
from California while very firm In tone
and high in price are In somewhat bet
ter supply. Pears are arriving more
freely from the same direction but the
price has been advanced along trout
"street to lie a pound, while string
beans are selling at 15c with a good de
mand even at this figure. Cabbage a
In quite good supply but the demand is
Increasing and for that reason prices
" are holding steady and unchanged.
'Celery is still coming from local places
In ouite good condition and is therefore
securing the bulk of the trade on this
account and the lower prices the trade
Is able to sfell at but the arrivals from
the south are showing a better move-
.. tnent.
Idaho Bund Potatoes Offering.
Idaho Rural potatoes are now offering
in this market but so far as known no
shipments have thus far been made in
this direction. One party is offering
60 cars for shipment here but the trade
is awaiting samples before closing any
deals. It is not believed that the Rurals
will find much demand here or In the
south except perhaps at lower prices
than the Burbanks, for that is what the
majority of the trade wants. While
nth.r nwtlnns of the country east of
the Rockies consider the RuthI to be a
very good potato, It does not meet with
much favor along the Pacific coast.
California paid from 25c to 35c a hun
dred pounds more for Oregon Burbanks
during the year when Colorado shipped
out so many cars of potatoes, than it
would for Rural s.
Xarly Bom Potatoes "Very Bearoe.
Early Rose potatoes are very scarce
at this time and in consequence offer
ings to the south are small. While the
trade here has not been willing thus far
to offer anything over lc a pound for
Rose, the greater demand than supplies
is expected to cause a slight increase
In the price.
Cranberry Market Is Mixed.
There Is a badly mixed market In
local cranberries with all sorts of prices
. ruling. 1-atest arrivals from the east
cost considerably more money but some
dealers who still retained supplies from
former arrivals are still offering berries
freely at $13.50 314, while those who
have only the latest arrivals to offer
cannot possibly sell under 115 and earn
their salt.
Break In Chicken Values.
Chicken values have broken again
, along Front street and while there ia
scarcely any market for the birds todav
and for that reason prices are only
guess work, a summary of the situation
shows the majority of the buyers un
willing to offer over 12c a pound and
; some would not move above 11c. On
this account receivers are trying to find
an outside market for their supplies,
while the dullness continues here. This
may help matters in the end. but It Is
frenerally the rule for chickens to sell
ow at this time of the year. Receipts
are quite heavy and are Increasing.
Turkeys to Sell High.
I'nless all present signs go astray
turkevs will sell around 2 2 He for
dressed birds for the Christmas trade
and some select stock may move even
, higher. There is every indication that
receipts will not be very heavy. If they
are the market will break In tw.,. All
depends upon arrivals therefore.
Eggs are holding their own with most
ales of local ranch around 4fc today.
Brief Bote of Front Street Trade.
Dressed veal Is very scarce with
price high. Dressed hogs. too.
Owing to Increase of freight rate oc
casioned by close of navigation, eastern
Sackage coffees are advanced 13c per
undred pounds.
Cheese market Is holding very firm
with offerings light.
Butter is steady with no change In
- values. Outside brands only are af
fected by the dullness.

prices. Those paid shippers aro less

That a firmer and higher market is
assured for coarse grain providing only
ttie normal demand ror tne Faclnc
northwest product comes from the
south is shown by the action of the
markets today at various Pacific coast
centers, and the receipt by the Portland
board of trade of information from re
liable country sources as to the avail
able supplies for market. The tele
grams Indicate that small, stocks at
both oats and barley are for sale at
primary points. Some stocks of oats
are offered and may be moved on a
basis of $32.50 and $33 a ton, track
Portland, and barley at $27.50 and $28
a ton, same delivery.
In the south today a better tone was
shown In barley, especially for deferred
unlivery. On the Portland board of
trade the bids for oat were very firm,
but holders ' were inclined to advance
their ask prioes about us much as the
bidders moved up their prices. Today's
market shows an Advance of 2&e in
the bids lor December at $1.60 a cental
and a like sum for January at $1.62 H-
Local barley futures were firm, with
no change In either the bid or asked
prices today.
While there was no change In cash
wheat prices, futures here were disposed ,
to do better because of the Improvement i
in .san Francisco prlctts. On the Port
land board of trade there was an ad
vance of 'ic In the bids for both De
cember and January. No business was
transacted during the session.

Chicago, Dec. 16. With a firmer tone
abroad and higher prices in effect at
Liverpool both at the opening and clos
ing of today's session the local wheat
market opened a shade higher and
closed with a good sized advance over
yesterday.
It was In the May delivery that some
real covering of shorta brought the
price Into prominence bv sham and de
cisive advances. The publication of the
government report just previous to the
close yesterday gave the shorts but a
few moments to cover their sales and
therefore they began to get under shel
ter as soon as possible this morning.
There was an advance of Vic all
around at the opening of the market
this morning, hut this rise soon spread
until at the closing there was a net
gain of 1 Vc In the May and e in

THIEF'S VICTIM
hlle Councilman W. T. Vaughn was
attending a committee meeting at the
city hall yesterday afternoon a sneak
thief entered his office, 618 Chamber of
Commerce building, and prying up the
cover of a roll top desk, stole an old
gold watch which Mr, Vaughn had car
ried for years and which he valued as
a keepsake. The time piece ia worth
about $45.
Mr. Vaughn was absent only an hour
and believes that somebody who had
seen the watch lying In the desk com
mitted the theft. Mr. Vaughn had
bought a new watch only a few days
before.
W0MAX BURGLAR'S

A complete outfit of woman's wear,
but not a cent of cash was stolen from
the store 'of Samuel Kafka, 16 Grand

"Was it a woman who robbed the
store?" Is the question the police are
asking themselves. Apparently no ef
fort whatever was made to obtain any
money, though It would not have been
Impossible to Ret It.'
The store was entered through th
"basement. Two "pairs of shoes, two
corsets and a quantity of undergar
ments were taken from the stock.

New York. Dec. 16. The liquidation
In American Smelter Is attracting much
attention, from the trade. That the
heavy selling of this security has been
by longs instead of by shorts as had
been generally believed. Is shown by
the certificates now coming: forward.
dated 1906 and indicate that the holders
are awfully tired and after having
bought around the top they are now
quite content to get out around low val
ues. There was more pressure in copper
shares and some of this is believed to
be due to the recent activity of Mr.
Lawson.
The general market opened mixed with
most shares lower. There was a show
ing of support for a few leaders like
Union Pacific and St. Paul at the start
but outside of this liquidation was gen
eral in the list during the day.

Winnipeg. Man.. Dec. 16. Sixty mem
bers of the Livestock Shippers' associa
tion, covering three prairie provinces.
In session here today, made a protest
against the service given by the rail
roads. They claim that the cattle are
not moved eastward with sufficient
speed and urge the railroad managers
to remedy the situation at once. They
say the delay Increases the cost of
meat and causes a heavy loss to the
cattle breeders of western Canada. It
is also asserted that the present atti
tude of the railroads is working serious
injury to the export trade.

Portland Union Stockyards, Dec. 16.
The entire livestock situation Is very
firm. The firmness Is more pronounced
in cattle than in other lines, but in no
instance is any easiness or dullness
shown.
A number of cars of California cattle
are due In time for tomorrow s market.
Some of the stock is said to be select
and' will be for the Christmas trade
The demand for well finished steers Is
very heavy and for that reason prices
may be stretched a notch higher Dy
some killer who has a trade which he
wants to please. Arrivals of cattle for
the day were scant and scarcely made
a stir In the market. Cows are up 25c
with the better demand.
Hog prices aro very well maintained
with fair arrivals for the past 24 hours.
Uberal Ian of Sheep.
There was a very liberal run of sheep
during the day, a total of 1006 head
appearing. This is the heaviest run for
some months and Indicates that the cold
er weather in the Interior and the high
cost of feed with scant range has forced
owners to part with some of their bands.
Demand Is still heavier than supplies
except for lambs and If the latter are of
good quality they are as eagerly sought
as other grades of the sheep 'marker
Today's run of livestock compares
with this day In recent years as fol
lows: Hogs, Cattle. Sheep.

HELD TO FATHER'S
GIFT; GIRL STARVES
(United Preas Leased Wtre.t
San Francisco, Dec. 16. A small
painting from the brush of A. C. Rod
riguez, depicting a scene at Adams'
Point, on Lake Merrltt, entitled "The
Passing Storm," is given added value
by the story of tragedy revealed by
the death At the artist's daughter. Car
lot ta Rodriguez. .
When the girl was very youngr, Rod
rlgues gave her the painting. Its com
panion piece, now In the possession of
Colonel Isaac Trumbo, Is valued at
11,000. During adversity and suffering;
the girl refused to part with her

want clung- more tenaciously to the heir
loom. It was found near her whan .ha
died of starvation several days ago and
at her last request will be sold In Paris

grandmother, Maria Rodrtgues.
Rodriguez, the artist, was. well known
in San Francisco a decade or more ago
He was achieving fame with the brush
when he was stricken with consump

motherless girt to face the world. He
had left many paintings and from time
to time these were sold to obtain the

Anty Drudge Solves a Naval Problem.
Captain "How dare you come on my quarterdeck witty
clothes like that! Isn't there any soap forward T
SaUor"Aye, mr But, begrsrin' your leave, sir, it's no
good. We've worked weary over hot suds, bat we
can't get the grease and bloodstains off."
Anty Drudge "Sh! my brave laddies! I'll tell the Captain
about Fels-Naptha soap; how it takes out grease,:
blood, or any other kind of stains in cool or lukewarm!
water. Then there'll be no more hot suds,"nor hardW
rubbing, nor growing."
Black grease spots 'on a white mohair
coat.
Discouraging, wasn't it?
The young woman who owned thq
coat sent it to a professional cleaner. Hd
wouldn't touch it. "No use," he said.
Then the young woman bought a cake
of Fels-Naptha and tackled the spots her
self. The Fels-Naptha took them out,
entirely. She is wearing the coat.
This actual occurrence illustrates that
Fels-Naptha will clean anything that is?
cleansable. It will take out grease spots
from wraps, men's clothes, cloth dresses,
rugs, curtains, draperies, without injuring
the fabric in the slightest.
It does this by loosening the dirt and
dissolving itinto tiny particles that can be
wiped away with a wet cloth or sponge.
Tattle rubbing is necessary.
In all kinds of cleaning, Fels-Naptha
is as superior as it is in washing clothes.
Use only cool or lukewarm water, never
hot. Follow directions printed on the
red and green wrapper.
Nothing else acts on dirt in the way
Fels-Naptha does.
