"The market is very good and receipts are not equal to the call of dealers. Prices are being stretched almost every- day." Springs are selling at about the same price as hens and anything that wears feathers Ib in excellent demand Just expected to show a better tone before long. The Chines are taking hold of ducks more eagerly and are paying the top price for good young stock. Even at th advance they are more anxious for 'young ducks than for old ones. PRESSED MEATS ARE FIRM While there were somewhat better offerings of both dressed veal and pork in the local wholesale trade during the past 24 hours, the market remains in a very good condition. "About 20 per cent of the veal that comes to Front street at this time," says Frank Tem pleton, "are of such size and quality as to bring tho top price. The remainder are big grass stuff and sell from 9c to 12c a pound, according to quality. At this time of the year the Front street trade gt-ts few really good calves." GRAPE TRADE DISASTROUS Prices In the rrane market have dropped so suddenly and so much re cently that Front street dealers sre In for sonic? of their heaviest losfces. Grapes that cost them practically $1.60 to land here are being freely offered at 11.00& 1.25 a crate, and they con sider themselves lucky to obtain the higher figure. Quality of present ar rivals is very good. . ECO MARKET IS HIGHER Sugar market price advanced Sle per hundred pounds all along the Pacific coast this morning.

Walla Walla, Wash., Bept . Heavy rains throughout the Walla Walla val ley yesterday and today, totaling nearly an inch, were warmly welcomed oy resi dents of both oAy and country. Es pecially were the farmers pleased, re porting little damage to standing grain and great benefit to summer fallow land. There is little grain unthreshed in the valley.. The damage by the rain will be light, perhaps bleaching the grain some what. Grain stacked In the fields did not suffer. The atmosphere haa been cleared by the downpour, which was unusually heavy for this time of the year, and the dust on the roads is settled so that wheat hauling will be expedited. Hot weather ends with the first fall rains, and it is taken for granted tha.t warm days are over for this year. But the most good was done to sum mer fallow land that is waiting for seed. The ground has been put in ex cellent shape for seeding, and the heavy rains will start the weeds so that work can be begun at once. With an average season this year, all the summer fallow land should be put in before winter stops work. PRICE OF PRODUCE AT SAN FRANCISCO i San Francisco, 8ept. 6.

There was a total of 644 head li during the day, compared with 160 yesterday, 420 Monday and 103 head this day a week ago. There were no sales of hogs made early In the day, but trade was gener ally considered steady, notwithstanding the weakness shown at other centers. At Chicago today there was a clos ing loss of 15c from yesterday in the hog division, with tops at $7.60. South Omaha hogs were likewise showing weakness today, with a loss of 15c In tho price. Tops sold there this morning at $7.06. which means $8.15 to land here. On this basis it Is not believed that the local price can be maintained. As packers already get practically all their stock from the eaV. and can land them here at about 60c less than they are paving for local tops at this time, the presumption Is that the price here will drop unless there Is a change in the situation elsewhere. Chicago had a run of 24.000 head to day, compared with 21.000 head a year u-o. The weakness in the (situation there is indicated bv the fact that pack ers were slow buyers during the past 24 nours, ana 300 neaa or yesteraay s run was left over to add to today's ar rivals, owing to tha weaker feeling. While the arrivals at South Omaha today were not more than 7000- head, this was considered a heavy supply. In view of the bearishneus of leading pack ers there.

Recently reduced quotations have caused the public to take hold better than even during last week. Sales' as a general rule are being made from 750 to 80c with an occasional transaction of something select at 86c to 90a a box. Dealers attribute the present strength of the market to th fear that a large Cer cent of the fruit has been ruined y recent rslns both In the Willamette valley and in the Yakima country. Almost all varieties, except the earli est stock, are now coming forward. Crawfords are In best demand for all around peaches, but for canning alone the Elbertas are taking the lead. Another carload of peaches came for ward from California this morning. This was ordered some time ago and will likely be the last to arrive here during the present season.
