There is an increasing trade In trans planted eastern oysters in the Faciric coast markets and a lesser demand for the native product which Is likewise decreasing in supply. 4lon Shoalwater bay there has in late years been a very heavy Increase In the number of oyster beds. It has been found that the waters of the bay produce a better oyster than other localities. Because of the very fat stock now offering In transplanted east ern ovslers the trade Is mostly In that line and with hlKh prices and smaller nff.rii.ra the native product seems to nave seen its best days. The transplanted eastern oysters coming from Shoalwater bay." says C. d iaiaritv a lnciil operator, are v'erv fat and jiilcy and the people have been buying them mrre readily of late than in former years. we Tlnd mat r.eonle along the north Pacific coast prefer oysjters put up Jn cans from tihoaiwater bay to those from the south for not only are they fresher because of the difference In time for transportation but they are the best as regards qual ity." : - Onions Beinf Inquired Tor. There has been culte an Improvement In the sentiment of the California trade regarding onions and prices in the south are showing ft material advance. Sup plies of California onions are getttogr rather low and it la now -stated that a large per cent of remaining; holdings are not of best quality. For that reason the California trade Is looking toward Oregon for supplies and several sales of carlots harte been reported here dur ing the past 24 hours on a basis of II per hundred pounds, Portland. Buying Potatoes for South. Not only Is the south looking after our onions but there has been a disposi tion among the trade of California dur ing the past day or so to take -on a few cars of our potatoes around 75 and 85c per hundred pounds.

There Is a rather quiet tone in the live stock market of the local yards In gen eral today, but values are generally un changed. While there was a disposi tion among buyers to depress the bog market of late, arrivals have been so far short bf the demand that it is quite likely for a while at least values here will rule steady. However, practically everything depends upon the attitude of the eastern markets. Quotations there during the past few days have been quite steady. Basep Market Is Firmer. For good sheep there is quite a firm tone ruling today In the local yards. Arrivals are aeain small and practi cally all the recent run was for one or two packers. --Therefore the general packing trade is still very short of sheep supplies and for best quality sometimes bids a fractional increase in the nrlce. ! Cattle market is firm for the various grades, but arrivals were light during the na.it 24 hours. Of late the ship ments have been of but ordinary quality and this accounts for the absence of sales at former top figures. The best otuff now coming forward In the steer market will not bring more than $4.50 In the yards. Today's arrivals of livestock com pare with this d,- y in recent years as follows: Hogs. Cattle.

The Portland turkey market was In peculiar shape today but all depends upon arrivals this afternoon and to morrow morning. Along Front street arrivals have not been liberal to date but there was quite an increase in supplies this morning. However, ad vices rrom the country Indicate that the bulk of the arrivals will be In by tomorrow morning. West turkeys sold along the street this morning at 25c, but . there was a shading of vslue for anything except select stock. The Puget sound markets seem to be filled up, for some of the larger dealers cut their orders to local people in half late yesterday and to day. In the north they were astonished at the high prices ruling here and stated they could buy cheaper there. There fore the future of the market can onlv be judged by supplies. In any event the situation is critical Tor the price. BET A SUPPLY Wheat Stocks So Small Here That Southern Republic Is Unable to Purchase.

Remaining supplies of this cereal In the Pacific northwest are be lleved by the general milling trade to be smaller than the requirements of the mills until the new crop Is ready for the market. There are grave fears In the minds of some millers that there will be an actual shortage of wheat supplies in the Pacific coast states be fore the 1909 crop Is ready for grind ing. Had it not been for the fact thst California has this season purchased quite a, portion of its requirements from east of the Rockies Instead of taking everything needed from Oregon, Ida4io and Washington, It Is quite likely that wheat prices all along the Pacific coast would now be several cents high er than at present. However, the mar ket Is in the best shape imaginable from a producer's point of view for at this time ho Is able to command almost any price he asks within reason. There was a very dull session today on the Portland board of trade and no changes are shown In oats, wheat or barley futures. The spot market Is likewise very firm at unchanged values There will be no session of the Port land hoard of trade either Frtaav or Saturday, following the custom of other exchanges in closing during the holiday perioa.

It was a change of sentiment among foreign trade that brought about a firmer, livelier and higher wheat market here during to day's trading. To Liverpool belongs the honors, for after opening unchanged there from yesterday's closing, today's market ended with advances ranging from 4d to d above yesterday's final figures, and last quotations there were among the firmest and highest of the day. Wheat started In Chicago with n firm tone and an advance of He. and with some short covering and a stoppage of liquidation of longs, who have been so badly scared of late, the price began to climb, and at the close was c to e above yesterday for -May and July options, respectively. The change In sentiment at Liver pool, resulting as It did In higher prices there, caused a firmer feeling all through Europe, and while quotations were generally unchanged elsewhere, the market was in better shape than for some time.
