Dressed meats are stiff.

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.

Portland Union Stockyards. 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

There was a sharp advance in the
hay market here today, following th
cold weather. 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.

The Dalles. Or.. Dec 19. Th con
struction of a large power plant on the
Deschutes river, near Shcrar's bridge,
has been commenced by the Interior De
velopment company. If present plans
ar carried out it will mean a great deal'
toward the development of Wasco and
Sherman counties. Notices of appropri
ation of water have been filed In the
county clerk's office. A force of about
16 or 20 men Is at work on th proposed
canal.
A dam (0 feet high will be built 1600
feet above th falls of the Deschutes
and from this a canal 85 feet wide and
85 feet deep wtll convey the water for
two thirds of the distance to the site
of th proposed plant Th water wtll ,
be conveyed the remainder of the dis
tance In eight parallel pipes, each eleven j
feet in diameter. A fall of 106 feet can
be secured. With the immense volume
of water an enormous horse power can
be developed.
It is estimated by engineers that suf
ficient water can be thrown into Bner
man county to irrigate tha entire coun
ty. At the end of the pipe Un a power
house will be ouut ana nyaro eiecinc
machinery installed.
M. A. Moody and other oromlnent cap

STAIID H ON
BROADWAY SITE
At a meeting of h North Albina
Push club held Thursday night a res
olution was adopted deprecating the
movement that has been inaugurated to
bring about a change in the location of
the proposed Albina bridge from Broad
way to Hancock street. The following
is a copy of the resolutions passed by
the club:
"Whnreiui th common council of the
city has adopted a resolution and or
dinance submitting the question of a
bond Issue In the sum of $2,000,000. for
the construction of a high bridge aoross
the Willamette river, terminating at
Broadway and Larrabee streets on the
east side; and
"Whereas, said location has been rec
ommended by the eminent bridge engi
neer, Mr. Modjeski, as the least ooiec-
and the most practical and economical
of the locations considered for said
brldse: and
"Whereas, said Broadway site would
accommodate all the Deoole or the north
east aide, those on the peninsula and
east of Union avenue, as well as those
north and west of said Broadway street:
Now, therefore, be It resolved. That
we Indorse the aotlon of the council In
adopting the said location for the high
bridge and approve of the same; and
"Whereas, efforts are being made to
influence the council to change their
plans and submit to th voters the Han
cock street and AiDina avenue location,
for a low bridge: and
"Whereas, said location was not fa
vored by said Modjeskl nor by the mem
bers of the Port of Portland; and such
location for such bridge, or any bridge,
would prove objectionable to th navi
gation Interests of this city; and
"Whereas, th submission of two lo
cations to the voters might so divide th
vote that a majority could not be se
cured for such bond Issue, and might de
feat a bridge at either location, and
deprive the people of the north eaat side
of any bridge: now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we deprecate the
movement for the submission of any
other but the Broadway location at such
election."

any confusion or loss of bills during
the hurry of the session.
During the past few weeks Mr. Barry
