"There has been a great improvement
in the poultry situation oiiaie," says
Fred H. Bchmala of the Front street
firm bearing bis name. "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

Grapes that cost them practically $1.60

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.

BENEFITED BY RAINS
An advance of lc a dozen Is today
being quoted in the price of local ranch

ice house stock from the east Is selling

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.

Today's run of hogs was the largest
for coast shipment that has been re
ceived In the North Portland yards for
many a day. 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.

The movement of peaches Is now tha
greatest ever known along Front street.
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. The ship
ment was of good quality and sold

There was a further advance in the
price of oats here and an advance of f 1
a ton was being offered this morning
for No. 1 white at Willamette valley
points.
White oats are being purchased up
to $29 a ton, track delivery, Portland,
compared with $28 as the beBt price
available recently. The sharp advance
today Is due to the holding back by
Willamette valley growers who are not
content to sell their supplies below the
price Bsaea py growers in oiner nonn-
weat -districts.
Up to this time only about 10 per
cent 01 tne oats crop of tne Willamette
valley has passed out of the hands of
growers, therefore producers will profit
most oy tne advances now talcing el
feet. At the higher prices, dealers are
more willing to buy oats than they
were at the start of the season around
$Z4Z4.60 per ton.
While there is practically no busl
nesB passing in the barley market here,
trade stands on a very good foundation
while growers of the interior are ask
ing more money for the limited stocks.
While there was weakness In Liver
