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

demand for dreaaed veal could scarcely

Brewers' BuppUea Bother Hop Trad.
" 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. Paul Weldner. a
prominent grower of Yamhill, and a
dealer of national reputation at Detroit.
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

Peaon eolpt Kot Liberal.
Shipments of peaches to ths Portland
market are showing a dally increase.
There la a Ilk Increase In quality from
both local and outside places, and this
Is considerable help to the trade. The
arrivals ar heavier from the Willam
ette valley and southern Oregon than
th eastern section of the stat thus
Loganberries show badly mixed qual
ity. Best fruit la firm at 11.75 a orate,

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

never better in th Portland yards than
today, and the continued famine In of

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.

MISTS TODAY
UlllOII PACIFIC
AT HIGH RECORD
Advances to 198 7-8 or 1 5-8
Points Above Closing of
Yesterday's Market.
New York, July 20. 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

Wheat Above Estimate.
Colfax. Wash.. July SO. 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.
The arrain atread' threshed. In the
vicinity of La Crosse and Hooper indi-i
catea tnat tne yieia in mat locality will
be even greater than at first estimated,
and the quality Al. Fields of Jones'
Hfe estimated at 25 oushela to the acre
a month ago threshed from 40 to 42, and
tne Jf'orty roia ana Turkey Ked la
running aa hlah aa 10 bushels oer acre
over the estimate. The only indication
of off grade atuff ia among the hybrid
varieties propagated by the state ex
perimental station at w. a. C These
while yielding well are Inclined to amut
badly thia season, but the other varie
ties, particularly blueetem, promlaea to
be of a quality aeldom aeen outside of
the hard wheat aections in the middle
west
Although Colfax Is the recognized
wheat buying center of this section of
eastern Washington, no quotations are
being made by the line buyera, and only
oontract offers, and these presumably
mor for advertising than anything
else, are belnr made by the lndeDtnd-
nts. 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. The labor situation seems to be better
