Sales of ordinary coops were made as high as "0c, while those that had straight coops of selected hens were able to squeeze a .tnL.ivii uiuio iiimu mis. Receipts of chickens continue rather limited, . while for some reason or other the consumptive call is much better than usual. While the big retailers are making every effort to bfat down tho price by handling eastern storage goods they aro not able to do It so easily as a few seasons ago, because of the pub lic dislike for ice house stock. ' - Some fancy dressed chickens sold up to 2Sc a pound along the street during the past 24 hours, but this Is an ex treme figure and was obtained, as stat ed, only for first class birds. The reg ular price would be about a cent below this. , . The lack of demand for turkeys is a surprise to the trade and live hens are today bringing as much if not more, than the former. This is a most tin nsnal 1 occurrence and indicates two things the extraordinary call for Chicken and the lack "of demand for turkeys. . ; 1 PRICE OF PRODUCE V AT SAN FRANCISCO San Prancleco, Feb. 24.

The shipment was to the Benson Commission company, and the sule mads to the Union Meat company. Tha carlot was brought through sim ply as an experiment, and cpnslsted of 21 head of steers that averaged here about 1225'pounds.The shrinkage from the. east was unusually great, and this is said to be the only bar against great er niyuriHiions. The Nebraska cattle were corn fed and well finished, and are said to be of extremely good tiuallty. While the ex act cost of bringing the shipment through is not known, purchasers believe it will be around $7, or perhaps a frac tion more. The rhipment will be held and fed for several days and then killed. According to those that brought for ward the shipment from Wood River the arrivals are somewhat In the na ture of an experiment, and will be used td show local interests what real fancy fed cattle are. . . .. , - Only One Load Hogs Available. ' While only one load of. hogs was offer ing in the entire livestock market at North Portland today, this brought $8.76, or the full prices of last week. The decline of yesterday Is therefore fully recovered. The rest of the arrivals In the hog market were contracted In Nebraaka by a local packing company, and there? fore did not enter the trade at all. While no sheen arrived todav. some that came forward .yesterday were dis posed or. lamos aoid up to 5.60 or about 16c less than previous shipments of like quality. .

Stock market values began to crumble at tha opening of today's trading and there wera very severe losses sustained during; the first half of the session. Particularly abroad was the feeling of depression noted and at London there was a sharp downward sliding of ?uotatlons for American shares.. In act the session of the London exchange was almost a panic today. Reading shares suffered most there and a net loss of 7 points was shown. ' At home Reading showed unusually severe pressure and at one time it had dropped 6H points but a portion of this was regained toward the closing. Today's losses were due entirely to the failure of the railroads te secure higher freight rates as announced by the Interstate Commerce commission yesterday. .
