"I am very glad to an nounce that at the opening of the Len- , . ten season." says C J. B. Ualarkey, a local wholesaler, "that there Is a great supply of fish to take care of the trade.

That California Is very well supplied with potatoes and that prices are snow ing no indications of advancing there is the report brought back by Charles Levy of Levy & Splegl, a local commis sion merchant. Mr. Levy has been spending Ms vacation in California. - According to Mr. Levy, potato prices in San Francisco range from 11.65 for rivers to 12.26 for 8allnas stock. The quality of the river production this year Is said to be unusually good, and most of those seen by the Portland man com pare quite tavorably with the bulk of the shipments from Oregon. Mr. Levy brought back samples of the Salinas stock, and they were 1 among the best potatoes ever seen here. "The situation in onions," says Mr. Levy, "is unusually peculiar. , Oregon onions are selling there as low as $2.60 a sack, but the bulk of the business of good quality Is around SS.60OS.65. There are lots of onions in the market of the south at this time. Some ex ceptionally fanoy goods ire coming from the Lompoo district and some rather .fine nes are showing up from Nevada points. "I was attracted by some onions from the east. They were of red color and of fine quality." II.Y.SIIMM'. New York, Feb. 27. A decision In the trust cases was expected today but failed to materallze. The market was in a waiting attitude and will likely remain so until the news Is given forth. The list In general opened lower but closed mostly, higher. American stocks were weak. to lower In London today. Range of New York prices furnished by Gverbeck & Cooke Co. Description I Openi High Low I Bid Amal. Copper Co. Am.

Probabilities are for a further reduc tion of 20o a barrel In the price of pat ent flour here. The market for flour Is weak end with all interests expecting a reduction It will likely be forced. 'Millers believe that a reduction of 20c Is likely after which the market will strengthen and the next mpvement will therefore be an advance. While there are reports of great amounts of export flour selling to the orient, millers say that trade is so slow that they are seriously considering the closing of their plants at an early date. The situation on the sound is very sim ilar to the one here and it is stated that the Taooma plant of the Centennial Milling company was scheduled to close today for an Indefinite period. There are said to be quite a few orders on hand to operate the Centennial mill at Seattle on half time, but even this plant is likely to follow the Tacoma mill Into retirement unless there is an improve ment in the situation. Wheat prices are at present on a basis where millers could out the price of patent 20o a barrel, but grinders say ther are unable to purchase more than a nominal supply at prevailing i)gure because farmers win noi lei go. ine movement toward tidewater a!) week was one of the smallest since1 the sea son started. - While a reduction in patents is prov able, export figures are likely to re main at $3.60 less the usual discounts.
