The market for dressed bogs has reached llo a pound In the Portland market This Is the highest valu ever attained .for the dressed product, and Indicates the sxtreme scarcity of sup plies, both la the live and the dreaaed market. The Front atrt prlc for the dressed product llkewlas la on a basis f better than 19 In tha stockyards, a figure that has not as yet been reached there because no top stuff bas been in evidence for some time. Dressed meats of all kinds except mutton show wonderful strength In the to. ..w a tfcla tlma, - The demand for dreaaed veal could scarcely be better than shown today In the wholesale eectlon, and prloea generally rule between thi and 10c a pound, with a allghtly higher figure apoken of but not confirmed.

" Juat how many balea of hops brew rs have purchased of tb 10 crop la a mystery to the dealers here and elae- wnere, ana consequently m mun peetjletlonr among the buyers as to the available supplies.

Mich., tells The Journal that recently while making a tour of his trade he waa surprised at the number of bales of the 1908 crop brewers had secured un der contract "Instead of wanting to buy hops at present prlcea" he aaya "brewere were quite willing to sell me some at the figurea I waa asking. - I believe that conatderabl bualness oould be secured If growera were mors rea sonable In their demands. 'Hops are looking quit fair around Yamhill. A short time ago I dldn"t be lieve my yard there would go very heavy, but latest prospects are for 'a crop of about a ton an acre in" my 60 aore yard." Melon Trade Is Quit Oood. Trade In fruits generally la Improv ing. Watermelons are " moving, mneh better around $1.28 per 100 pounds. Un usually good quality is shown In thia r ear's arrivals from California, and here haa perhapa been lesa complaint thia year as regards quality than ever before.

There was a aomewhat better ton dis played In th oattl market generally today and for best stuff the Improve ment was especially noticeable in th buying. ' "... .Cows coo tinu to show signs of sta nation although thor Is not, ths slight est chang In th situation from th on la effect yeaterday- Th fact that arrivals of. cows havs been so liberal of late and promise to . continue so for a while, has added to th weakness. Killers say they already have mor cow than they know what to do with In th Immediate future and therefor ven for - tb beat stuff ar unwilling to bid mor than $8.60. It take some thing exceptional In quality to bring even this figure. Fancy Steers Bagerty ought Killers continue to request fancy steers and for this grade ths market today Is quite firm at $4.60 while or dinary stuff Is bringing within a frac tion of that sum. Poor stuff is selling for mors than it Is really worth con sidering tha extent of the supplies In this regard but th premium between frood and poor stuff la likely to be noreaaed within tb very near future. Today's run of cattle Included 289 head comparing with 166 yesterday, none Saturday. 828 Friday, 210 Thurs day, 1090 Wednesday and 162 a week ago today. Sheep and XrfUnbs are Firmer, General market for sheep atands in much better position locally than for aome time. Arrivals are rather lim ited and demand, both from home and outside packess. Is increasing. Sellers are not receiving the slightest diffi culty In getting rid of all tbe best lambs that come at $6.60 and sometimes ordinary stuff brings within lOo or 16o of that amount so great Is the call compared with available suppllea at this time. Today's run of sheep and lambs was 867 head comparable with 495 yester day, none Saturday, 260 Friday. 870 Thursday, 497 Wednesday and 667 a week ago today. Sogs Would Bring S9. So fVw hoga cam into th Portland rards during the past 24 hours that hey could not be considered among the arrivals. The market for hogs was never better in th Portland yards than today, and the continued famine In of ferings la causing packera to look else where for practically all their suppllea Sales of the few Hogs received during the past 24 hours were on th basis of $9 for select quality, and according to dealers any one who has the latter quality will find no difficulty In ob taining the price.

Foreign buying sent Union Paoif lo to its high record at 198 today and It closed within hi, point of that price or H point of the former record.- Nevertheless at today's closing It was 1 points above yester day final prlca There were many explanations of th recent advances . in Union Paolfio but the one which too It beat with th trade was that a party of strong; forelgnera were trying to wrest control from Har rlman. - Practloallv all of the heavy gain made in Union Pacific today occurred during the latter part 01 the session. The market had taken a spell of weak ness early In the day and not until tbe noon hour was th tide turned. Then the Harrlman pet began to climb steadi ly, and Us upward course was scarcely arrested until lust previous to the clos- lng 198; when it went te its record at There was a rain In some of the specialties after Union Padflo started Its. performance In lta effort to touch 200. Southern Pacific received direct aid from Us ally and closed S higher than yesterday. Amalgamated Copper waa active with a closing bid of point over yesterday. Smelters was weak for common and lost a fraction at the end ot th day. St Paul was one of the firm ones although not very active. Its dote was H higher. New York Central proved one of the leadera and at the close was lhi points above yesterday. Hill abarea were aomewhat easier with alight loasea in both North ern Pacific and Great Northern. Steel stocks did not make much of a demonstration and the closing was at exactly the same figures as yester day for both the common and preferred. a Mm Tnrlr iiHfn, fnrnlaheA py uveroooa at jooae company ; DESCRIPTION.

Harvest is on in full blast in th western portion or wiutman county, ana tne next iu aaya will see operations under way alt over the Palouse, cutting- machinery having already been put in commission in tne greater part oi the country al ready. The weather conditions for the last week have been Ideal for the crops, the daya being warm and bright and the nlghta cool enough to keep tho moiature to the surface and th tem perature at a .point where the early grain la ripening and hardening in good shape and the late grain filling; nicely.

All of the line company represen tatives were seen toaay Dy The Journal correspondent and they state that they are not making prlcea for th reason tnat notning is in tne marxet yet, Dut ir there waa anything In eight the coaat and Chicago markets would justify 90 cents for blueatem, 86 cents for Forty Fold, 83 cents for club and fife, and 80 cents zor red Kusaian. There is prac tically, no export market for oats and barley but local feed men are offering il.io zor oats arm at zor Dariey. A number of the most extensive farm era In the Palouae were seen today, and they say that the farmers, generally are noiaing ueir Diuesiem at i per ousn el., but the other varieties they are will lng to take market quotations for. Their reasons for the belief that they will be able to command ' $1 for blueatem Is based on the shortage of this particular variety last 'fall among th mills, and they claim to havs received assurances from the mill buyers that they will pay a sufficient premium for It this Fear to insure their getting It from the armor direct Instead of having to buy from the exportera at a liberal advance, aa they were compelled to do at the end of th last season. The line buyera. however, refute thia argument by saying that there waa a shortage in the blestem crop last year, while thia year there will not only be a greater yield but a larger acreage, and that in conaequence of this there will b no demand for it aufficient to warrant even the mills offering a pre mium.
