Turkey Cleapap at Top Prloea.
The few remaining dressed turkeys
held along Front street yesterday and
today were quickly cleaned up at top
prices for best birds, and other grades
ruled accordingly. The market this
year closed In better shape and with
higher valuea to producers than ever
before. The way turkeys sold was a
aurprlse to the trade In seneral. Re
ceipts were somewhat more liberal than
expected, put this had no visible effect
upon the market, for there were prac
tically no turkeys remaining in storage
for the Christmas trade. That the re
tailers themselves were surprised as
well aa were the Front street handlers
is thus noted by the big buyers:
Joe Green of Mace's "We had no
cold storage turkeys at all, and this fact
alone caused a larger demand for the
fresh birds than would have otherwise
been the case.- The' aeneral nubile did
not believe that there wre not heavy
stocks of storage blrda on hand. Even
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market Inspector
for the city, thought that the markets
were full of them. After making an
examination of the entire building she
told me that she had not found a single
one. xnis iaiK or storage Dirds hurts
the trade, but everything went off all
UK"!--
Mr. Goodwin of Dresser's-Sealy-
Mason Co. -"Trade In turkeys for
Christmas was quite good and every
thing was cleaned up. There waa no
cold storage stock offered."
Mr. Friedman of Franklin-Barnes
market "Christmas turkey trade was
heavy .and as there was no cold stor
age atock the fresh stuff moved off bet
ter than expected."
Chloken Market Is Tair.
While the tone of the chicken market
is not yet strong there is a slightly bet
ter feeling. Dressed stock sold thli
morning along the street at lS016o a
pound.
- juggs are weakening somewhat and in
eome quarters stocks are showing an ac
cumulation. While he general price
along the street remains at 40o the
stocks are not moving fast enough and
some of the trade Is cutting 1 to 2e
below that figure. General reduotlons
are likely on Monday unless there is a
radical cnange in tne situation.
In the butler market a steady tone Is
ruling for best known makes, but there
is increasing easiness in ordinary
graaes.
Idaho Bays Stager Cheaper.
Still further discrimination against
Oregon, California and Idaho consumers
and the trade' Is shown in today's an
nouncement of a 6o reduction in the
price of Idaho firms, deliverable at San
Francisco. This markes the discrimina
tion against the three coast states 70o
per loo pounds.
Brief Botes of Tront Street Trade.
Jim- Pincua, of Isaac Plncus & Sons
of Tacoma, is In the city. Look for
something doing In hops.
Onion ouyers oosjplain of their In
ability to aecure sufficient supplies for
tnetr trade rrom Oregon growers.
Potato market Is steady locally.
Small shipments continue to the south
west. .
All grain prices are very firm In "the
local cash market. No session of the
board of trade or other exchanges to
day. Dressed meats remain very acarce
with prices stiff at the top.

Its a very slow market that Is now
rullnc in the local yard for livestock.
While there remain very good prices
In all lines' the .buying is not very
aggressive for, the reason that buyers
are waiting until after the turn of the
year oeiore lining up witn supplies.
Packing operations are on a very
small scale over the holidays and there
fore for that reason alone there la
likely to be but small demand for the
hogs In the yards until after January
1. With good prices still the rule for
hogs In the east there Is little doubt
in the minds of the trade here that
values will do better after awhile. To
day the top price for Willamette val

favorable for good prices with the start

FUEL DEALERS
ffllit ANSWER
Say Cord of Wood Shrinks
, When Cut Into Store
w i Lengths. -
When an ordlnaryv-eord of four foot
wood Is sawed twice,' as is the usual
custom, thers Is a shrlnkase of about
one filth in measurement according to
the fuel dealers of Portland. This is
given out In answer to the warning la-
sued to the public by Fred G. Buchtel,
city sealer of weights and measures.
calling on consumers to have all coal
weighed and wood measured If a short
age is suspected.-
An official of the Alblna Fuel oonv
this morning giving the wood dealers'
version. .-.-:,.
He said that ordinarily when a ner
son bought a cord of wood and ordered
the four foot sticks cutetwlce he ex
pected three' full tiers. Instead it
would be found that after being cut
there were really but about two tiera
and a half.
This is because there are more stlcka,
they are packed closer. ,
The Alblna man said that this was a
well known fact to all persons familiar
with the wood business and said that
he would be perfectly willing to give a
practical demonstration to any one who
would take tne trouoie to can at nia
wood yard. All wood Is measured by
the cord when It Is sold. Then it Is
sawed. If ao ordered by the -customer.
Because there Is seemingly a shortsge
the buyers imagine that they are being
cheated, the wood dealer's assert
