Into the city at this time that selected
quality brings the premium quite easily.
-Increasing warmth has caused a cur
tallment of dressed hog shipments to
the Frsjnt street trade, and values to
day are firm at 13o-a pound for best
quality. - Owing to weather conditions
. only the smaller size porkers art want

thing that-is very heavy or big will
not bring these values. .- . .

" While It is generally agreed that the
ioiai uuiput or nogs in tno Jfacuic nortn
west will be rreater thla neotnn than
for some years, swine will be scarce for
some weeks and perhaps months.
Further Importations of eastern hogs
must come to all Paclflo coast centers
In the immediate future because of this
condition. This ; has recently . caused
middle west and eastern swine values
to nuctuate upward and naturally this
will be reflected In Portland prlies.
While It is true that the bis- rTftck.m
will be forced to buy the bulk of their
Immediate requirements from Nebraska
points, smaller killers -will be forced
upon the local market and unless ar
rivals Increase materially the outcome,
so far as prices are concerned, should be
most pleasing to shippers.
Only one load of hogs arrived in the
North Portland yards this morning and
these found a ready buyer at $10.86. The
average was 206 pounds, or. somewhat
ngnier wan ins $iu.35 sturr of yester
day. . -

show a very heavy decrease from what
has been expected.
" According to growers recently in the
city, the potato crop is at a. standstill;
no growth having been shown reoently
owing to the general lack of moisture.
. Late planted potatoes are principally
affected.' Some were planted only a
month ago and since that time have nad
no moisture to start sprouting and
growth. - Early planted potatoes are not
doing as well as mtgnt be expected.
Rains are badly needed to mature these.
Owing to the lack of moisture there
remains a shortage of potato offerings
by local growers. Outside stock Is still
needed and this is forcing the Port
land market far above any on the ooast
Puget Sound is buying from the Yakima
country while California is helping the
local trade to supply its wants.
