10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL,' PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING, MAY" -29, 1909. r v DEALERS HOLD SMALJJPIES Onlv a Few Cars of Potatoes of Old Growth Available Here Just Now. TODAY'S WHOLESALE! MARKb 1 3. Potato market steadier. Great scarcity of berries. Asparagus scarce and high. Krtsh salmon hi to lo lower. Kggs are slightly easier. Drop in cheese drawing near. Hop trade promises activity. Tomatoes come from Florida. Potato Market Steadier. A steadier feeling; is shown in the . local potato market. This follows the Improved demand for our stock in the south and the maintaining therefor rather good prices despite the more Hb v eral offerings from , this direction than ! expected., -It has been found upon care ful inquiry, that practically nine tenths ' of the car held by shippers here a week " or 10 dav ago, have already been shipped out and remaining supplies are small. When the full meaning of this becomes known there will likely be a frlbr Imnrnvement In the potato SltU- atlon both here and in the south. While there are quite liberal offerings of new tV California stock- at this time, the slock 'i cannot take the place of the old growth for some time. Few of the late ship- . ments show belter maturity than a month ago; this fact Indicating that the supplies there are being sold as fast as ' dug. v Max Shcrtea late Prodnctiom. So good is the present price for new potatoes as well as for old ones, that growers in the south are digging more liberally of the new growth than during normal seasons. If this condition is continued for a month it will cut down O the California production fully a thlr.1 nd may be much of a help to the late or early crop here. Oreat Scarcity of Berries. Strawberries were unusualy scarce In the Portland market today. Of course the Southern Pacific train from Califor- J nla was late as usual that being a con dition that the trade here iiaa become accustomed to because the frtllt from the south has not arrived on time for many a week. Even with the arrival of the train there will be little offering of California fruit because of the close of ihe first crop season there. Local berries are coming somewhat more free ly but supplies are not quarter of what demand Justifies because, of the absence of other -stock. Best OregOns today were selling as high as $5 a crate for 24s and from that figure the market, ruled down to $4 for good fruit. California berries are quoted at" $1.5 1.75 per crate for small crates. '"" - , Asparagus barce and Sigh. -Because of -the small Offerings of lo cal asparagus supplies' are again' being brought in from California. There is little Walla- Walla stock to be had and prices therefore are very firm at yes terday's advance. Rhubarb offerings are scant and the , price is generally He a pound higher. Fresh Salmon Is Lower. -A-dr of from 'J4 to lc a ppund Is shown In the local fresh fish market for Chinook and bluebaek salmon. Receipts from he upper rive' continue quite ilb- era! bur- the eateh tin the lower Columbia has not been encouraging. Chinooks tod. iv at 8fi8Uc. bluebacks. 7 (. Brief Votes of Wholesale Trade.

The wheat was taken and paid for by the Patterr house making about 4.000,000 bushels In all taken, care of on this month's deliveries. It Is claimed that nearly half of the wheat brought here from Duluth has been sold to millers and others Instead of going on the regular delivery. The .cash market re mains very steady; also the milling demand shows some Im provement, while the general crop conditions continue of a bullish character. Cbleajro Wheat Market. May 29. May 28.

Nothing could have been managed better than the transac tions In May wheat for the past 30 days, and the market closing as It did with out any excitement under extreme high point of year was proor In Itself that the market Is and has been on a legiti mate basis, so far as wheat futures are concerned. If any further proof of this Is necessary. It can be found In the fact that a good portion of the. Duluth wheat brought here In the shape of cargoes to break the backbone of the bulls found Its way Into milling and commercial channels before the final delivery day, and 600,000 bUBhels or more of it was not delivered on May -contracts at all. In corn there was considerable snap to the trade, both early and late. Much wiy depend on whether the country con tinues to sell reserves freely. The feature of the oats market for the day was the decided Btrenffth In the new crop months. Shipping sales were 85,000 bushels. It Is time to begin to look this provi sion trade situation squarelv in the face The big packers own the property.

(Special Diipatcb to The Journal.) Centralia, Wash., May 29. J. R. Bux ton, prosecuting attorney of Lewis county, yesterday had pictures taken of the scene of the murder of James M. Corp by Joseph Ware, to be used in evidence at the trial of Ware. Ware shot and instantly killed Corp Tuesday night because a son of Corp, while play ing, found a piece of rope In a road and carried It away. The rope belonged to Ware. Corp leaves a widow and 12 children. Ware Is a wealthy farmer and formerly respected. M. xi. Jaques, a Centralia business man, returned yesterday from a trip through eastern Lewis county. He re ports (hat engineers of the Tacoma Eastern railroad (Milwaukee) have run a line from the terminus of the road near Morton Into tho Big Bottom coun try, through Rainy valley and across the Cowlitz river at Cosmos. After crossing the Cowlitz river a spur is pro jected eastward along the Clspus river, where the Milwaukee has rich timber holdings and another line runs south west, supposedly for a Columbia rTVer polot. The survey can be easily traced by the stakes left by the engineers. Two through freights, one northbound and one southbound were tied up for two hours here yesterday morning by reason of tne engineer of the north bound freight being placed under ar rest for blocking the city streets for a longer time than the city ordinance permits. A. P. Putnam, the conductor, arersted entered a plea of guilty in po lice court and was fined $6 and costs. His excuse was that the Northern Paci fic does not have adequate yardage fa cilities to care for the trains that pass through Centralia.
