Turkeys firmer and higher, r ' Chickens In bad' shape. Kites ar Just holding. : Potatoes steady but slow. Dressed meats are stiff. ; Cold affects fruit sales. i Continuance of hop business. ; R.itter arrivals are heavier. All sorts of cranberry prices. , Hay is showing advance. . Tina Ton tor Turkys. The market for turkeys in bettor shape along Front street, While the bulk, of the arrivals will not start in this direction until Monday or Tues day, there have been bettersupplles during the past few days. Prices are higher and sales of first class quality have been made as high as 24c a pound for dressed stock along the street, al though some have been at 220'and others at JOo a pound. Juat what the turkey market will do during the coming week cannot be fore told but the Indications are for a con tinuation of the good feeling -now shown. The market seems to .have reached the top in fact It is a trifle too high for safety if arrivals are more 1 b eral than now expected. It is generally dangerous for dressed turkeys to go above S2tto In the wholesale, market, which would put the Price to consumers at retail around 25c With birds sell ing above that figure It would be im possible for the retail trad; to sell un der SOo a pound and at that pries there Is always a heavy cut In the demand, fclttl Hop for CMcksns. There seems little hope for the chick en market just now; Arrivals are very heavy, everyone having a coop seeming to be anxious to get them to market when they are least wanted and this la the time The price is down another notch or two and while some receivers have been holding out for 10lle a pound, they have been unable to clean tip- above 10c and perhaps this may be the figure later in the day. Trade In the egg market is only fair around 40c for local ranch stock and In order to get a freer movement some receivers are said to be willing to clean MP at a fraction less. Arrivals of eggs are just about the same. Market for eastern stock here t is unchanged. Cola Affect Fruit Bales. The cold weather of the last two days has greatly affected the sale of fruits along Front street While the move ment of apples Is still quit liberal the trade is not willing to bid up on its quotations and good stockU still mov ing around 81 a box. V ' ; routoes Are Steady but Slow. Although showing practically no out side business, except perhaps for Early Rose seed and these are scares the local 5 market for potatoes Is quite steady. In the south prices continue very low and vctues are below a profit- j able salnplng business for Oregon po-i latoes. mere were reports mis morn ing that a large quantity of potatoes were hurt by the late heavy frosts but the Information cannot be confirmed. Brief Votes of Wholesale Trad. " Movement of outside creamery butter to this market la increasing and for that reason an easier tone Is reflected In the market for anything except the best known brands. Cheese market is firmer. No price change. . Hop business at low prices continues rather liberal for a period so close to the holidays. Dressed meats of all kinds are firm at unchanaed Drlces. - Ijocal cauliflower Is practically out of mantel out some supplies are coming from California and are being quoted higher.

Dec. 18 Ther was weakness In the hog market today and the price Is fully lOo lower than during the past few days. Pacific coast packers have begun to bring in shipments from Nebraska points and as the market there has of late shown con siderable weakness, they are table to bring supplies here and land them at slightly lower prices than they are at present offering locally. Cattle market is firm with prl-es quite well maintained and the same la true of sheep. "The hog market Is 10c lower today," said Tom Benson of T. C. Benson & Son. "Owing to the arnroachlnr holi days, packers are not inclined lo bid up on the supplies and I do not expect any Improvement In the tone during the coming week- Cattle And sheep are firm for good stuff." Bring; Eastern Hogs Cheaper. "With nsckers able to buy hogs In the Nebraska market and brlnnr them out here and still save money from what they have been paying iocally, there Is a weaker feeling In the local Unit ar.d the nrlce Is down lOo for the day." said Lee M. Lacev of Hunt & Lacey. "Cattle and sheep are both rlrin for good rat stuff. Fersonallv I look for a lower range for hog values from mis iime tortn ana small ariv&nces in best cattle and sheep from time to time." 1 Today s arrivals of llvesr.tclt In the yards compare with this day In recent years as 10110 ws: Hos, V.108 ........... 325 1907 106 10 Cattle. 21 65 Sheep. 210 100 1805 88 A year ag today hoa-a un-I cattle were firm; sheep easy with no change in values. .

Prices are advanced frdin $1 to $2 a ton with the market very firm at th higher range. The change in weather has forced feeding In the country with the result that ther is a heavier demand for hay and feeds at primary points and a much smaller number of arrivals is coming in this direction. Today's reoelpts were th smallest of the week. The market for grains is being held very firm here both for cash and future deliveries. On the Portland Board of i raa mere was no cnange in values during the day and yesterday's quota tions were continued. There was an other advance of lo in the San Fran cisco market for barley today and this tended toward making this market more bullish although holders AA not advance their asking prices for the grain during me aay. v Today 1000 sacks of bluestem mixed with forty fold were sol A on th RmH of Trade at 97c tracks.
