' - There Is a firmer tone throughout the
local onion market. The inability of the
trade to secure supplies rrom the val-
' ley at former prloea has caused whole
salers to boost their Quotations accord
ingly. V , f.. y . - . . - - :
First class onions are unobtainable In
tha country under $1.76 per cental, f. o,
b. stations. This means praotically fl.SS
to deliver here. Jobbers, therefore are
quoting these onions at f J and say that
this price will show a further advance
as ti.e profits in handling; are too small.
There is, still quite a fair supply of
No. S onions in the market.' These on
ions consist principally of those sup
plies that failed to show good keeping
quality: therefore- cannot be held for
any extended period. These onions are
being quoted by wholesalers from $1.7(
to $1.86 per cental and are showing; an
Improved movement at that range. Bo
: far . as nearby consumption' is concerned,
these onions are equally as good aa the
No. 1 stock; It is -quite possible that
- they will hold up for a month or so but
' their life beyond that period Is uncer-

EGO MARKET SHOWS WEAKNESS!
,',.
Trade In the local ' egg market Is
weaker along Front street today. Quite
' heavy supplies were carried, over from
Saturday owing, to the lack of demand
at that time. There is a wide range of
opinion regarding the price that should
rule, various interests , quoting from
. tl to So a dosen. , -.. - -v:;-
CHICKENS ARE WEAK- TODAY.
v Chicken market prices remain weak.
At the opening of the week thera was
practically no business offering. The
trade Is well filled with supplleaiand
therefore quotations are nominally
placed at tha same range- as Saturday.
STEAMER BRINGS CABBAGE.
- The California steamer unloaded to
day brought, forward an assorted sup.
ply of fresh greens. Cabbage was in
cluded In the shipment. This la the
usual stuff that oomea from the aouth,
bttinir untrlmmed, - therefore showing
much waste. - The southern stuff is
quoted here at 11.80 per cental, the
same as the usual local growth, al
though it is worth but half as much.
DRESSED HOGS REMAIN QUIET.
There remains a very quiet tone in
the dressed hog trade along Front street
with some stock carried over from Sat

Owlnj to the severs freeze through
out the orange country In California re
cently, quite . a large per cent of the
fruit was frosted on the trees. Ar
rivals of frosted oranges have been re
ported in the Los Angeles market, for
soma days and the prices obtained are
in most Instances barely sufficient to
cover the , cost of packing and ship

Br far the greatest bunch of live
stock that has ever entered the local
market, was reported In at North Port
land today. There was a total of 80
carloads available for the trade this
morning. The shipments consisted prin
cipally of cattle. Of these 60 cars ar
rived. - The remainder were 9 cars of
hogs and 11 cars of sheep.
For the first time in a very long
time California has started to ship cat
tle to the, Portland market. - The trade
there had found it unprofitable to aend
stock In. this direction heretofore this
season and praotically all of the sup
plies have been going to markets In
the southern state. .The. shipment to
day consisted of lffht loads. The stock
name from Oaselfa and was sent for
ward by Goodale A Cassady who al
ways try the Portland market when
ever prices here are right.
While the bl bunch of stuff that
came forwsrd today naturally caused
some weakness and fractional price loss,
me snowing or prices waa good in view
of I he record movement Most , of the
stuff that came forward was unex
pected, therefore caught the trade by
surprise. That the big buyers knew
nothing of this Is Indicated by the fact
that the Union Meat company was re
cently foroed to go out into the country
and purchase stock direct through a
stockyard representative. This cattle
waa purchased at $6.26, but the same
class of stuff could be secusad for less
in the yards today, owing to the huge
offerings. , -
- ' 111 Ship at Ones.
Tne shipment of so much cattle to
the local market today cornea as a re
sult of the recent Improvement in the
situation here. The trade haa been fam
ished for - good cattle for some time,
and while this class of stuff is almost
always in demand at' good prices, ths
greater movement wiu uaeiy aiiecl tne

With the severe weakness in foreign
markets, duo to the better weather con
ditions in Argentina, there waa little
inclination to do business in the local
wheat trade today.
Practically all foreign markets were
under Saturday at the closing today and
ss this has a direct bearing upon the
cargo market exporters were not very
strong In their views.
On the basis of export values, buyers
here say that club wheat Is not worth
above 80c per bushel 'track Portland,
but notwithstanding this millers are
occasionally offering as high as 81o for
a limited supply. , At the higher price
their needs are not extensive but they
are unable to buy for less.
With the opening of spring work,
horse owners are feeding their stock a
better class of hay. This accounts for
the latest Improvement In the call for
timothy and the weaker feeling for poor
grain - stock. Best eastern Oregon
timothy is this morning finding
bids at $17.60 to $18 a ton and
Willamette valley stock from $15 to $16,
according to quality. Alfalfa Is not
finding so much call and Is nominally
showing bids around $12.60013 a ton
here, while the general run of grain
hay of quality is quoted at $12012.60
by buyers, cheat and oats hays are
weak around $11912.
The oats market la steady with only
a limited movement around isj.bu.
