Fully double tha amount of strawbar

of any day this seaann. Receipts were
from all directions with tha following
from each place Increasing.
Hood River has started to ship In
earnest and the arrivals from there; were
rather liberal this morning. White Sal
mon and Moalar also contributed fruit.
There were arrlvala of ISO crates from
Clackamas and 75 crates from Milton.
Local berries were likewise offering
hut only In small lots Some California
berries ware likewise In evidence today
but they mat with poor reception on
account of the much better quality of
the home product and tha lower pricea
now available.
The strawberry market was rather
mixed as tn price and character this
morning Wltn such a heavy Increase
In offerings, It was but natural that
buyers should hold back for lower quo
tations and these were generally forced
all around Hood River fruit sold from
14 to 4 25 a crate but generally at the
lower figure while Kennewlck stock
sold at $3 and . i.iamettaevalley offer

Strawberries Are Developing.
Puyallup, Wash., May 81. The straw
berry crop is developing Tory fast. Most
of the strawberries in this part of the
country are grown on the hill lands as
they find that they do much better
on tho higher lands than in the valley
land. In the valley land the plant growth
Is rather excessive and in moist weather
amies the berries to rot, but tha hill
land appours to get more sunshine and
lias li-fcH of plant growth, so that the
berries are more accessible and receive
more sunshine.
The berry station at Auburn Is now
being erected by the Northern Pacific
raUway and will be ready for use by
the association within the next 10 days.
As quickly as the Auburn plant Is com
pleted the carpenters will go to Thomas
at which point tho second warehouse will
bo erected

Hog Market Zs Firm.
Only a handfull of swine came Into
the Portland yards today and therefore
regular prices were not fully tested.
The outlook seems quite hopeful, al
though there was a further weakening
of values at South Omaha today. Pricea
there dropped 5c to 10c, which puts
tops at $6.95 or $7.06 to land here. This
is atlll 15o above the best price that has
been offered here recently.
With local packers getting all their
requirements of hogs from Nebraska
and with only a limited amount of locol
swine available for the trade recentlv 11
would be difficult at this time to state
