9 . Onions Held Down. , 4
For the first time this season
. x ront street onion sellers are
not In accord with the action 4
taken by the Confederated Onion
Growers" association in the mat-
ter of prices, and Saturday's ad-
ance oy me organisation was
not followed by the street V ' ,
, Front street is bearish on the onion
situation. Produce mercnants have
come to the conclusion that there is
such a thing as putting prices too high
and for that reason there is a- tendency
to complain at the latest action of the
Confederated nnlnn rimmi1 nxii.
Von, adva"cln the prloe to 12.50 per
A . country snipping points.
' Onions are being sold by Front street
jobbers today at the same price that
onion growers are asking at their coun
try stations., This means that pur
chases from the association , at the
minimum price today would ' cost $2.60
; to land at Portland, plus So cartage.
While some wholesalers are not very
well supplied with onions others say
they retain quite good holdings and as
most of these were purchased below 12,
sellers see a handsome profit at $2.60.
-On the other hand producers seem to
be confident of their ability to unload
air their supplies at the higher figure
and some are even talking of advancing
further at the next meeting.
Australian Onions Kowsr.
One extreme bearish factor in the
onion situation at this time and one
that the growers have been warned
against, la the fact that Australian
onions are now being offered at Cali
fornia points around 2c a pound. This
means that the Imported stock can be
landed at San Francisco at 10c per
cental under the. price that Oregons
could be sent In that direction.
.Not alone Is there a. discrimination of
10c In the price against the Oregon
Product, but the Australian nffnrtnra
are of new crop and. from a buyer's
point of view are to be desired against
old crop stock.
A late msir advice from San Fran
cisco says that tnis year's crop of
onions in the Gochella valley will reach
100 eir and In the Imperial valley 60
cars. Both of these are greater than
has been produced heretofore In either
section. The offerings from there will
be ready for market either the latter
part of March or around April 1.
May Hurt northern Trade.
Not only will the offerings of onions
by Australia at $2.76 f. o. b. coast
points hurt the sale of Oregon onions
in California where direct shipments of
the foreign product have already been
ordered, but the Pupet sound territory
is likely to be Invaded because the
stock can either be sent north by steam
er at cheap rates or else Imported dl
rect. The Vuget sound territory has
been the best buyer of Oregon onions
this season and the loss of anv of that
trade would have a serious effect upon
the market here.
EGG8 ARE SOLD LOWER.
Mixed Opinion Fails to Keep Price
From Dropping on Street
Notwithstanding the reported sales of
fresh ranch eggs by some interests at
higher prices, transactions were con
firmed as low as 18c a dozen along the
the street today. Some receivers are
proae to hold for higher prices on
account of the stdfrmy weather but
others Were equally as glad to unload
at the reduction.
POULTRY MARKET GOOD.
Mixed Chickens Selling as High as
18c With the Demand Good.
Week starts with the poultry market
n good shape, especially for chickens.
While turkeys did not find such a ready
movement during the last few days,
chickens sold better with 18a the latest
quotation for ordinary lots and straight
ooops of fancy hens from that figure
to ltc
OUTDOOR ItHUBARD HERE.
California Shipments Are Sold on
?--. Street at a Fair Quotation.
Outdoor rheubarb from California is
coming forward to .the local market
and sales have been made generally
around $8.60 to $4.00 per box of 40
Sounds. The quality was In good con
ltion. HOTHOUSE LETTUCE SLOW.
Ordinary Stuff Sells Down to BO and
. t 00c-Demand Is Limited Here.
Trade in hothouse lettuce is slow and
some ordinary offerings have been sold
on the street recently as low as 60c to
60c per box. Extra fine quality some
times sells as high as $1.1:5 per box of
four dosen. -
CELERY MARKET HIGHER.
Advance In California Causes Trade
Here to Revise Quotations.
. On account of the advance In Cali
fornia, celery will be higher in the
Front street trade. - While a car was due
: today from the south, the. market has

Weaker feeling is showing in the local
apple situation and'prlces are practical
ly 26 cents a box lower for certain
varieties today.
During the past Week there has been
a very heavy increase in offerings of
apples from Hood River and. other sec
tion. -This has had the effect of de
moralizing .quotations. The weakness
In the orange market is ...likewise hav
ing a bad effect upon apple values.
Oranges are selling here at $1.90 to $2.50
a box with few sales above $2.25 and at
this range are generally preferred by
the trade to apples at $2 for ordinary
quality.
There are no first class armies show

although some are marked extra, fancy
by shippers, The quality and not the

The best spples on display In the
wholesale trade today, such as Spitxen

Yellow Newtowns in - the market at
present; the best of this variety going
under the choice grade and selling at
$1.60 a box. Choice Ortleys sell around

Thirteen-Year-Old ? Lad Spent
Money at Moving Picture
Shows. .
Elmer Green, the 18-year-old boy who
stole $15 from his foster mother shortly
after her death Friday afternoon, has
been taken in charge by the authorities.'
He admits the theft He says part of
the money was spent at moving picture
theatres. The lad was allowed to leave
the reform school to go to the home
of Roxana Green, who raised him,
when she was thought to be
on her death bed. Soon after her
death; Elmer began looking around the
home. His eyes fell upon her handbag.
Opening this the lad found the pocket
book containing $15. This was quietly
shoved Into his trousers pocket, and
he left the house. The first place he
went was to the Star theatre. After
seeing the show he went to Council
Crest In hopes of riding; on the "Joy
wheel."
Thinking the officers would be after
him, he went to Vancouver at night
Saturday the boy returned to Portland,
and took In more moving picture shows.
Saturday evening he returned to Van
couver to escape the officers. Testerday
he returned to Portland and was caught
by L. H. Baker, master of the detention
home. This morning the boy was taken
before the juvenile court and will be
returned to the reform school. The boy
had no hesitancy in talking about the
matter. He admitted taking the money
and said he knew his foster mother was
dead. ,
Answers to the complaints of the
United States charging the Harney
Valley Development association and
William Jones with fencing public
lands have boen filed in the United
States court by C. E. S. Wood, attor
ney for the defendants. The defense
of the development company la tht
the fences in question have been erect
ed by Peter French, whom they bought
out while Jones sets forth the excuse
made by him in a similar crlminar ac
tion brought by the government that
he fenced the land to keep Cattle from
eating poisonous seeds.
The Harney alley Development com
pany claims French built the fence It
is aocuaed of being responsible for and
that, anyway, the fence was not actu
ally an lnclosure, as it was down In
many places. Jones says his fence was
down In spots, too, and that the coun
ty road ran through It Both defend
ants state they have had what remains
of thjr fencos removed since the Insti
tuted, oc proceedings against them.

One select load of corn fed steers
from Idaho brought $7 In the yards to
day at North Portland, this being the
full price that was received here a week
ago for similar quality. The lot Includ
ed 24 head that averaged 1880 pounds.
Sale at such a high figure does not In
dicate that the market for, real a-ood
cattle is any lower than a week ago,
even though the offerings of poor qual
ity have been heavier. - .
Ten loads of cattle were brought, in
from California this morning by oni
party and there were liberal shipments
from eastern Oregon. The 8. & 8. com
pany is reported to have a fine bunch
of cattle in from tho Prlneville country.
These did not enter the local trade at
all.
Sheep shipments were heavy an!
therefore there was a reduction of about
10c in prices formerly obtained. Soma
very good wethers were sold during the
morning at $4.65 compared with former
transactions at $4.76 or even better.
Weakness hss again developed in the
sheep market at eastern canters, after
temporary showing of strength and
slightly advanced quotations. r
Hogs were weak everywhere today and
this had an Indirect effect upon locfl
conditions, although only two loads cams
forward for today's market '; '

union fishermen to control the salmon
business of the Paclflo coaat and new
developments are shown almost dally.
The Union Fishermen's Cooperative
company with headquarters at Astoria
which by the way is one of the few
cooperative concerns that proved a suc
cessis negotiating for the erection of
additional plants. -
At the present time It is figured that
a cannery is needed by the Union Fish
ermen's company on Orav"n Harhnr.
While the necessary site of the plant
ntis noi yet Deen seieatea, tne company
is making an effort to raise tho money
In advance.
The Cooperative, as the fishermen's
company is generally known to the
trade, completed a new cannery at Ne
halem and operated it for the first time
the past season. The venture proved a
big success and therefore it is the de
sire of the management to expand. After
the Gray's Harbor plant is started it is
understood thst Puget sound wlllrbe in
line for competition from the fisher
men's' union.
The market for canned salmon is ex-treml-
firm at all centers with only
nominal offerings at advanced quota
tions. C0RBETPS RECOVERY IS

KELLAHER BOBS UP
WITH H Bill
Tries Again to Have Portland
? Gas Franchise Repealed .
v by Legislature.
(Bpeeiil Dispatch to The Jonrnsl.)
, Salem, Or., Feb. 13. Senator Dari
Kellaher, training his b(atteries for a
second time on the Portland Gas &
Coke company, after one bill repealing
that concern's franchise had been slain,
ran Into, ambush in the senate this
morning. Protesting vainly,' his pet
measure was caat out of the Judiciary
committee and sent to the Multnomah
delegation.
What will happen to It there is per
uana well forecasted by the previous
action of the delegation, when the
measure was turned down at a meeting
when Kellaher was absent Declaring
the bill covers, subject matter, already
passed on by the Multnomah members
and not properly before the Judiciary
committee In the latter days of the ses
sion. Chairman Malarkey dragged it out
Upon his suggestion It was reref erred
to Multnomah. .-
Kellaher significantly said he had
reason to ask that the bill be handled
by the Judiciary committee. He said
it Is a new bill, and not like
the one that, was killed, because
it contains a new section pro
viding the measure shall be referred
to a vote of tho people of the state in
1912. He expressed doubt whether the
Judiciary . committee had even held a
meeting sine It received the bill.
Malarkey retorted that Kellaher ap
peared to doubt every man but himself
and appeared to think he is the only
honest man In the senate.
"I don't sea why you should Itlss" j
this bill from, one committee to anoth
er." said Kellaher.
"This new clause providing for sub
mission to the people makes it rather
hot, and it seems the Judiciary com
mittee don't want to take if The senate-voted
strongly in favor of Malark
ey's views and sent the measure back
to the Multnomah delegation. Kellaher
promises to pay the delegation a visit
and handout a few hot ones. He claims
the gas ' franchise should be forfeited
for alleged fH"re to comply with pro
visions it contains. , . -i !
