The fact that growers' organ izations have practically cleaned up their entire holdings thus early In the season Indicates that there is sure to be a shortage of supplies in the Pacific 5 coast apple market before the season . closes. Along Front street Jobbers are - disponed to ask higher prices for all . grades. The very cheap apples have en- t reiv disappeared from me markets ana the next cheapest grade is selling at higher prices than the very choice . stock was a few weeks ago. ' A short time ago it was possible to purchase small sizes of almost any variety or apples at no nigner man si a bo, hut it in a very poor apple, in deed, that will not bring that figure to 1 day. Ordinary apples are selling around SI. 15 and 11.25 a box, and holders are not disposed to hurry sales, even at . that range. Seed Potatoes Are Wanted. While there continues extreme dull in ess in the demand for ordinary pota toes, seed stock is being Inquired for from the south and for Early Rose, the trade Is freely offering as high as $1.10 per hundred pounds at country shipping points with growers not disposed to sell the small remaining holdings even at this figure. Garnets are finding a seed .demand from the same source around 11, but as In Early Rose offerings are There has not been the slightest Im provement in outside potato markets. . and no movement to the south is re ported outside of the occasional car of seed stock. "The views of growers' here are entirely out of line with prices in the south at .this time," says Fred v l)osa of Woodbum, "and for that rea son we are not able to make any shlp- merits. At this time the only business in sight is'for the Portland market and naturally the requirements from this one source are not very heavy, we are IS THIS A SCHEME TO DO ONION GROWERS? receiving many inquiries for seed stock. nut growers are not willing to sell at prices that would allow of shipments. This refers to Burbank seed. Wo can . not even name prices to the south, be cause there Is no telling what we can . buy the goods at. Present prices are i too high and growers will not sell for less." ; - Brief. Hotes of Front Street Trade, Cold snap interfered greatly with the . produce trade along Front street today. While dressed hog arrivals have been more liberal during the past few days prices are still holding firm. So few veal are coming that the . market Is nominal. Fish supplies are still liberal, hut a continuance of cold and stormy weather would cause a light catch and' force the trade into storage Ralmnn the first time for the present season. Hop trade Is again at a standstill but shipments to the outside continue. Flour market Is firmer but the trade does not believe an advance likely. Radical change in weather conditions caused a slightly firmer tone to rule in city creamery butter, and those cut ting prices yesterday went bark to top figures today. No change in outside . creamery. Same condition exists In egg market With prices stlffer and some interests asking 3Br40c today. Future of prices depends unon weather.

California po tato and onion men are at their old jjanie and a scheme to tempt the grower im .said to be (iuii-tly working. It is stated tliat although Wolf & Sons formerly located nt Portland are -selling and offering onions freely to the raii' Frunclsco jobbing trade on a hRsis of SI -5 per hundred pounds de livered there, immediate shipment, the same interests are offertng si. 60 per hundred pounds at Oregon points. Just who is to act for th California parties in this matter is not known, or ran the scheme te rally confirmed. However this is an old game o( Cali fornia dealers and has been exposed by The Journal in former years. It Is stated that Wolf & Sons have urchased 70 cars of onions altogether cleaned out the following districts Lonapoc, 30 cars; Salinas, Guadalupe, soieuao. Ban Juan. Rla Grande and Watsonville districts, 40 cars. These (v cars will feed the San Francisco market for some time.

Jaggar and Herren here are the ones llknlv rennonslhle Tf the California parties can artificially boost vi iuca , iiure ana tnus cause uregon growers to hold all their supplies for a nigner market they will likely clean up a neat sum, while Oregon growers are still waiting for higher prices.

' owing to the poor service rendered the district in which the members of the club reside, the residents believe that It would be little worse to have no lights at all than the few which now serve the community. we've got migaty little use for that corporation down here," . said J. H. Nolta, a prominent member of the club this morning, "and we aren't sroin 10 see one set or individuals owning the city. Not if we can help It. We want to own a little of It ourselves. We don't have any lighting service to speak or anyway and the car service is a disgrace. We want to see the mayor keep up the fight. After the session or the Push club the Rose Culture club held a meetlna and discussed plans for the planting of many roses early In the spring. There was a good attendance.
