Unpleasant Feelings.
STODArS ; WHOLESALE ' MARKETS
AU vegetables are firmer.
Onion controversy l on.
Potatoes are holding- steady,

Chickens and turkeys firm, ; ., .?
flood demand for ducks.
Dressed meats are scarcer.
Hop transactions at low point.
Controversy Bsffardlatf Onions.
Tliat the directors of the Confederated
Onion Growers" association made a seri
ous mistake in their selecting iwoktooj
rtreet firms as exclusive handlers of
their product for this season, is the
opinion of the trade In general. At the
last meeting of the directors of the as
sociation E. J. Jaggar and George Her
jen were appointed as agents. While
both of the men named are well and
favorably known along Front street the
trade believes that the monopoly of the
trade. If anv, should not pass out of the
lianas of the association Itself. As mat
ters stand the opponents of the plan say
that the two firms will have everything
their own way and If they do tiot want
to sell onions to certain houses- they
cannot be compelled to.' inis "cer
tain, say some dealers, to drivs these
rejected houses into, other markets. Al
ready some purchases have been made
In Washington and Nevada which would
have gone to this state had the buyers
been able to do business with the rep
resentatives appointed by the. associa
tion. That Jt would have beerf far bet
ter for the association to handle Its
own product or else appoint a represen
tative entirely -v outside ths-F001
utreet trade is the opinion of the latter
Itself. In this wav the association
would have been able to name Its prices
very day and would market its crop,
easier without paying brokerage fees
and forcing some dealers' to buy else
where as at present. - r-vi ..:.Y.:.
Much reeling OW Matter.
"While I have no part in the contro
versy in the onion market," says a well
known local shipper, "I believe that tne
association has made a most serious
mistake In putting all tha business in
the hands of two dealers who are real
competitors of myself and other deal
ers who will be forced to buy onions
from them if present plans carry. I
do not like the idea' of being forced to
go to those dealers and beg them to sell
tne onions to compete with their own
lirms in the California market. If they,
choose to they ean keep me from get-;
ting supplies altogether, and giving the
preference to their own house In the i
south. This would be merely human
nature. Personally I believe that Mr. j
Fanno, the president of the associa
tion, would have been the best to handle
the matter alone. It Isn't proper to
turn down all the dealers and favor sne
or' two." -,- .'v .
jro Xffect Upon Local Market. '
While it is believed that in time the
action of the Onion Growers' assocla
t ton will have some effect upon the local
market, -no change is shown at this
lima. The market hers is full of partly
; 1 rosen stock and to get rid of these
with the least delay dealers are coming
. their prices in check. Just what effect
the action 'Of the association wllj have
upon the California market remains to
be seen.
All Vegetables Are firmer.
- There is a firmer tone all through the
local vegetable market owing to tha cool
weather. . Stock that comes from the
outh is showing another advance with
supplies scarce. String beans- have ad
vanced to 1518o a pound, while peas
have moved to 17e. California tomatoes
are firm at 11.76 8.00. the latter price
for select quality. Local cabbage of
, best quality is selling crated at $2 in
some Instances, although some dealers
are still offering at $1.76.. For ordinary
stock tne price is it.eu loose.
More Strength la Chickens.
The market for chicken Is in fine
chane alone Front street. The price
is moved up another fraction.' Arrivals
ere small in comparison with the de
mand, although a great ran is expected
this afternoon and tomorrow. Along
Front street today mixed lots are sell
ing at lZtflSHo: nens, lzgfisc;
broilers,' HfrHHc; fryers. 12le.
There is also a very rood demand for
ducks around 170180 for either
live or dressed, but the call for geese
la less pronounced around 10 11c for
the live birds. .
Brief Jfotes of Trwt Street Trad.
Some dealers are offering eggs In
large lota as low as J7 He, while others
are asking 3839e. Occasional lots
move st 40c, too. Receipts are increase
Jng. Eastern eggs lower here, with the
t fit at SO32c, and some being offered
around 28c. .
Dressed meats are almost too scarce
to quote. Fancy hogs around 8 He.
Several fair sired deals are again re
ported In the hop market around former
low price.
Dullness reigns In sugar here, owing
to the overcharge made to Pacific slope
dealers aa compared with the Idaho
prle for same delivery.
Potato market Is holding rather
steady here. Some interests have
moved tip Jobbing price to 1.2$ for
best.
Front street sells at the following
prices. Those paid shippers are less
