Vhera is aulto a strong tone in the
-. lo "potato' situation. While outside

is possible, for a wbiio ih
I lieves It is Improbable.
Those dealers who have a regular
i trade for our onions in the south every
year, and who have been doing practlc-
illy nothing In that line recently; are
now awaiting offers of supplies from
. e?oera The dull period has extended
For so long a time that the dealers
are not exactly aure where they stand,
t and therefore are inviting offers to sell
, from growers so they can wake up.
- Ixcallv the onion market is firm, but
dealers are offering for a fraction less
in a jobbing way. W 'lmi!
street liava recently been too high, con
slderlng the buying cost, and re now
( being adjusted. Generally speaking the
value today on best onions Is 12.
The tlop In sentiment of Messrs. Isaac
Plncus & Sons of Tacoma, as told In The
Journal reeterday has created much talk
" In the trade here. While some dealers
. profess to believe that the Tacoma firm
-has somethlng up Us sleeve in making
- the bullish announcement, others are of.
the opinion that the talk will send prices I
to a higher point here and stimulate
1909 contracts. Several sales were re
ported during the past 24 hours, but
; they were for' am all amounts at the
range ouoted bv The Journal of late.

New York, Jan. 21. Declaration of
the regular dividend on Amalgamated
Copper was a help to that security and
American Smelter common In the trad
ing today, and at the close of the ses
sion a net advance of a full point was
shown. The disposition of London to
steady somewhat its otherwise weak
views regarding the copper price has
had a stiffening efTect here and sellers
yesterday were Inclined to buv back
today at least a part of their sales.
The improvement In copper shares
was an Indirect aid to the rest of the

prices to which millers have boosted
values here, Mexico buyers have prac

wheat here. It is stated, however, that
some of the recent purchases made in
this market for San Francisco account
were In reality to go to the southern

Taking advantage of the famine prices
which have ruled In this market dur
ing? the rjast few dava m&nv shtnners
bave started' carloads of cattle In this
direction and the result la the same
as In former periods wherein supplies
were accumulating prices are moving
down hill. . ...
While something extra select in steers
may still possibly squeeze 15.26 out of
buyers, the aeneral run of ton stuff
Will not bring over $5.10 and $5.15 and
most commission sellers believe the for
mer price to be the extreme high mark.
There was another heavy run of cat
tle In the vards during1', the nast 24
hours 485 head putting In appearance
compared with 698 yesterday and 765
on Monday. The bulk of these offer
ings consisted of ordinary quality and
for that reason caused more- easiness
in prices than would have been tha case
were a omewhat better showlna made
of top quality.
raokers Are Buying' at Decline.
While unwl!l!n.B to nav the famine
top of the market today killers did not
neglect the market and their purchases
averaged quite well. However, there
was no disposition among them to bid
for aupplies and unable to sell at the
former ton commission handlers took
the next best course and met the pack
ers orrerings nair way.
- There continues a verv firm tone
hea for hogs although the run for the
past few days in the yards has been
quite fair--even better than expected.
Several loads of top stuff were sold
todav and- $7.25 is still obtainable in a
limited way for select quality.
No sheen are coming forward to the
yards, there being; no arrivals here since
Sunday night. Tha market is therefore
unusually firm with prices nominally
quoted.
Today's run of livestock In the yards
compares with this day in recent years
as follows:

Harvey E. Lounsbury. district freight
agent of the Harrlman lines In Oregon,
notified the Rose Festival association
this morning, that he would make ar
rangements to have the Liberty Bell
hauled free of charge over his lines,
contingent, of course, upon the sending
of the relic to the Festival next June.
Similar agreement has already been se
cured through .the efforts of the
Million club" of Ban Francisco from
