: Trad in Tranrplnted Oytr.
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 has, how-

them have their supplies pitted and are

jcet Is firm, trade Is not very extensive.
Prices remain as previously listed. j
Dressed Vee.1 Is High. .
The market for dressed veal Is very
high with supplies scarps and buyers
anxious to secure their requirements.
The general price for best dressed- veal
along the street today Is lOo a pound,

Portland Union Stockyards, Dec. 22.
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

Market la Peculiar!
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.

While every effort Is being made by
Mexican millers to secure supplies of
wheat here practically no business has
passed. 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.

Chicago, Dec. 22. 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. Paris closed at exact
ly the same figure as on Monday.
