It is quit -likely that this quotation
will become general within the next
; few "day; The market for butter Is
holding very firm and all makers say
that higher prices are Justified because
-of the decreased supplies and the very
liberal demand,- While tb recent rains
have helped the grass in the valley to
a considerable extent, still th make of
'butter Is scarcely affected.
Cheese market is firmer but unchanged
In price. Practically everything that ar
-rived on the last Tillamook steamer has
already been spoken ror ry retailers.
. Eggs are just about holding - their
own around $80 dnten.. gome sales
may be made a fraction higher but this
1s unusual and scarcely justifies put
ting the general market above that fig
ure. Even as matters stand the tone
,pf the market is pot any too Strong.
Alaska Buying Potato. V
According U W. H. Dryer of Dryer,
Bollman A Co, of . this city, who has
' Just returned from a short business
and pleasure trip to the north, several
sales of -Oregon potatoes for future
shipment have already been- made direct
to Aiasna mercnanis. me inaicauons,
says Mr. Dryer, "are that the north
will buy ouite a bunch of potatoes here
this season, but because of the good
crop and quality elsewhere, . w must
pui up oniy xancy simi 10 go in mat di

X,ooal potato market Is rower.
With Increasing arrivals of local
stock and some very liberal showings of
uaiuorma stun, too looai potato mar

Stances prices are being shaded. Tht
top of the market today is 2o a pound
and some ordinary stock Is reported
sold down to- lo. Prioes have been
so high up to this time that the buy

point to decreasing prices from this
time forth. 1 ,
Melon Plght Only a Bluff.
Much ado is being mad by some In
terests along the street of a big fight
and slashing of prices In watermelons
but It la noticeable that the only ones
who are receiving- the low prices spoken
of are the hawkers and this is stated to
pe ror indirrerent - quality. ueneral
price for well selected melons along
Front street today is llc a pound:

firm has shipped the first full carload
of melons to Vancouver. Wash. , ;
Cabbage Market Xs High.,
. While there Is no famine of cabbage
supplies In the Portland market th
receipts are not nearly as great as ex
pected 'and prices are therefore holding
more rigid than usual at this time of

i "Tho market , has ; taken on' renewed
strength owing to the very poor reports
from the continent and continued bad

complaints from. 'California of exces

worry. 'Estimates in California have

Foreign markets were rather Indiffer

most centers the ting of weakness was
quite pronounced.
The weaker cash situation, due to the
better crop prospects, brought out a
large number of selling orders. Every

corn and has been furnishing free seed
from com grown on tho college farm
and acclimated so that It wlu matur in
this country where tb nights are cold
and the season short. Last year inore
than 800 packages of seed eorn were dis

farm was soon exhausted and a lot of
Corn was bought from farmers near
Pullman, who hav been raising it for
several years.
Phil W. Cox of Hay station has .458
acres of corn this year that promises
a record Dreaking yield. Fred Hungate,
living neariiAlmota, 1ms 260 acres, and
fields of from 10 to 60 acres are com-

r-armers now . predict high prices for
hay, despite the fact that alfalfa, clo

The first crop of alfalfa has already
been cut and stacked, and th recent

result the Palouse country had to im

that came from Montana &nd rmit t h.m

That farmers will maka

, .it ii tn select stun mat is wasted
and - that only. ..Ordinary and medium
stuff is taken as last resort in order ti
keep.th yards from becoming clogged
wun supplies, omi even men to-prices
offered a not quit so satisfactory.
iuvervon is seeminalv after fat steers
at this time and the premium being
ucierea is in oest in years, ilven me
dium stuff Is rather hard to obtain at
this time, practlcaHy nine-tenths of the
arrivals consisting of poor stuff stuff
that will not make sufficient beef to
pay Duyer to nandi it.
, Dont Want Cows at AH.
While killers are purchasing a few
cows here and there In the yards, they
aro not caring for this class of stuff
Their surplus of cows is daily increas
ing and they are not disposed to take
on additional supplies unless offered
them at materially lower values. There
is no cow good enough at this time to
bring over 53.60 In the Portland yards
today and that figure is not offered
for much Of thfr stuff now in evldencn.
A more representative price would be
placed at 33 - with safety.
Hun of cattle during the past 24
hours was fair a regards quantity but
poor- in Quality. A total of 339 head
were received since yesterday's report.
This compares with 289 Tuesday, 866
Monday, non Saturday, 323 Friday. 210
Thursday and 1090 a week ago today.
Medium Hogs Cto to 8.7fl.
One sal of medium bogs was made
In the yards during -the past 24 hours
at 38.75, the highest price of the pres
ent run. A still Higher value would
of course have been received for some
thing select. However, ta the nog
market buyers are in tha role of th
bearrar who was told not to be a chooser
for the latter are quit willing to ac
cept anything offered, so small are the
offerings and so liberal is the prevail
ing? demand. Just 85 head of hogs
arrived in the yards today, this being
tha first run since last Friday morn
ing when only 84 head Were received.
No additional arrivals reported dur
ing .the week. A week ago today 80
head of hogs arrived, and gladdened
the hearts of killers who have been
led to believe that no more hogs -re
mained in the entire Paclfio northwest
Cant Oct Xogg for Block Work.
Wholesale butchers and packers have
been against . a situation In th hog
market recently that -they scarcely rel
ish. So few arrivals hav aooeaxed in
the yards and so high hav been prices
in the east, together with th scarcity
there, that packers have been at their
wits' ends to find sufficient stock for
block work, not alone getting enough
for packing. -
Sheep market showed quite fair ar
rivals in tha Portland markets during
tha past 24 hours. Demand is good in
all line but best - in lambs and the
top for these remains at 35.25.
Run of sheep and lambs for the day
was 612 head, compared with 357 yester
day, 495 Mondays none Saturday. 250
Friday, 870 Thursday and 497 a week
ago today.
