Mini- .mum temperature at Portland to- 4 4 night about 40 degrees. 4 W. 8. Broaddus, the well known po tato dealer, - has made a trip to Cali fornia, spending 10 days among the dis tricts. He reports the situation to The Journal as follows; ' --'-v5 "On my arrival there I foond two other men.'one a large grower,, and the other a big dealer, who wanted to know as badly as I the exact amount of po tatoes left in the district -" ' v ; "We agreed to divide the territory and make a personal canvass of It, and get the best estimate possibte, by get ing a count of the acreage not dugand estimating the yieid by that of tho parts of the -same fields already dug out. Then wa went through the ware houses and got an actual count of what was in storage. r t When we got together we compared notes and computed the aggregate of all our estimates. This gave us as a total of all the rivers In sight In Cali fornia of 824,000 sacks. We have ac cepted this as the best estimate that can be made, and we beHesre it to be very close . to the actual ' amount of spuds in that district It includes everything in the Stockton and San Francisco warehouses,' as well as that left in the ground and on the banks. "Dealers are paying from 90 cents to 11.26 per sack, of about 118 pounds, to the growers there, and there Is a strong tendency on the part of the growers to hold back for more, with very little , business. In - fact there are less spuds movtng. than I ibave seen at this time of tb year for many years. '':... ''.. ' "Colorado Is quoting- Texas and Ari zona markets away oeUow what Cali fornia dealers can, and are getting all the business. At present prices, all of the potatoes In California and Oregon must be used at home.1 If Some one will tell me the exact amount of spuds In Oregon ' I will tell you Just what the market price will be. provided Colorado maintains her present low quotations. - "We have no potatoes to equal the fancy rivers put tip by ; the , , Japanese, Oeorge Shima,- whoowns about -200,000 sacks of what is left there, and con trols that many more, California po tatoes are in strong hands and will be held late." Commission nouses Change " Owing to expanding business, George Rice has moved his commission house to the old Oregonisn building, : Front and Stark streets. W. T. Turner & Co., have secured temporary gnarters with Townaend & Van Schoonnoven, across the street from the old location.

Salvador this last year produced something like 800,000 quintals rof v coffee , and prac tically all, of it has moved out of first hands at much higher prices 'than three years ago .when the Brarillan goverp ment took .initial steps in the now fa mous valorisation scheme which was at first looked upon as very foolhardy, but which has proven the real salvation of the coffee industry. The price pf coffee since that time has been steadily on the-increase and. there will never b a reversion to the old retail 10 and. -15 cent coffees which were highly adver tised and sold extensively ; throughout tha United States. The companies which 1 built Up this great business in cheap coffee cannot afford to keep it going. ' They are all marketing ; much higher-grades now and advertising these, leaving tha cheap coffees to look after themselves in the market On the one well known New' York coffee that sold as low as 10 cents in years gone by, there has been a retrenchment in the individual line of nearly 500 per cent .The green coffee cannot be sold at prices as low as that at the present time." , v . , ALOXG THE WATERFRONT Laden with 270 cases of cheese, the gas schooner Delia, Captain Anderson, arrived thjs morning from .Nestucca.

Everyone seems to have sheep to of fer. There was a report current in the yards today that 10 double .decks of sheep were en route to this city from Idaho, and naturally, this had a depress ing effect upon quotations in general. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is in disposing of feeders. At this time. of the year there are few buyers for feed ers in the market, A and therefore offer ings show . neglect. , J . -r t . The sale of a lot of feeder sheep re ported by The Journal yesterday as 60 ewes averaging 86 pounds, should have read 260 feed ewes, and the price should have been 32.25 instead of 32.80, as re ported.
