So far aa colore are concerned the southern fruit la better than the local product thla year, but tha keeping quality la absent POULTRY MARKET REVIEW Trade Experts Better - Demand on Account Boa Festival. ' A TYont street houaa haa Issued the following review regarding the poultry market: Poultry market waa poor for the en tire week, especially on bene and small springers. Toward tha latter Dart of the week, however, receipts were lighter and stocks for the week were pretty wen cieanea up ner Saturday night. Hens sold for from lo down to 15c and generally at the last named price. We got Ko early In the week for some, but most of them sold for lie. Springers generally aold at 12 0 13c. Large onea are mora desirable than are the small onea Large spring ducks (must be three pounds or more) will bring Z59 tic, but old ducks ar dull at 14 16c. Fat dreaaad turkeya will bring ti& 17 Ho, and good live turkeya too Old geese dull at llQllo and large young ge will bring It 14a It Is our opin ion that thla will be a good week for spring eniekens, if or good alt, and that ft will be wall for you to aend all you can. It la Ukely also that hena will be pretty good oellera at about aoove prices. Oet the goods in early if you can; we will have lota of visitors in me city tnia weeK, ana many of them will want chicken. CABBAGE MARKET HIGHER POTATO OFFERS ARE NOMItML HERE Market Is Very Firm for Both Old and.

Tha trad la awaiting a decision. which will b rendered today. In regard to tha. two care of Texas atock that waa loaded with potato bug, and later condemned by Fruit Inspector gtane- berry. Th potato shippers, a Ban Fran cisco firm, secured an injunotlon against burning ujt th atock and thla will be arruea tooay. The rasa la attracting much attention from commission handlers aa. well aa producer. If th shippers ar allowed to unload tha bug here thay say it will ruin tha potato industry of Oregon and will eventually ahut- thla atate out of coast market a so far aa th tubere ar concerned. .

The pear crop , in tne Rogue River vauey inis aeason will be a banner one, surpassing last year's production to a considerable ex tent, according to Professor P. J. O'Gara, who has Just completed a tour or tne principal orcnara in me val ley, Hlllcrest, Burrell, Gore, Allen, Bear Creek and other orchards wer visited and th crop will be a splendid one. Winter Nells alone of the pear fam ily will not produce a large crop, owing to defeotlve pollination. This crop will be about 60 per cent of the one har vested last year. The apple crop in the valley will range between 40 and 60 per cent of last year's production, this being aa off year for apples. "The - orchards were never In a healthier condition than at present" states Professor O'Gara. "Blight has been entirely eradicated and every thing lends to assure a large pear crop. A large number of reports have reached this office to th effect that several orchards had loat many of their pears, but I found on my In spection that these reports wer un founded. , "From present indication pears will nrnduca more this vear than ever be fore, with the exception of Winter Nells. These did not pollinate as they should." 1 Tons of Asparagus. Eugene, Or.. June 6. These are busy days on the Sprlngbrook farm, for th succulent asparagus is now in full crop.
