' (:. :,i U ; : Chioaft Is to taste Oregon grown on tons for the first time, and those that know , the quality say that this will mean repeat orders by the score, Tho first carload of Oregon onions ever sold to Chicago parties, or a far eaet as the Windy City, will start east ward within a day or so. The sal was made at 12. tS per cental net tq grower at country shipping point Several cars nave likewise been sold for the account of Kansas City parties on the same basis. . The market for onions la very firm. With leas supplies on hand than during any previous year at this time. With the greatest demand ever known and with growers In a position to dictate prices, it is stated that the entire ooun iry win oe oniomsss long peiore iue new crop is available even from Ber muda. While official report made some time ago would Indicate that there were about 128 ears left at the close of the present' week. It Is believed that not over 100 oars remain. Even this figure Is considered big by some parties. The regular weekly meeting or the Confed erated Onion Growers' association ' wHl be held late this afternoon, during which the situation and price will be thorough ly discussed, TURKEYS STILL DRAGGING The turkey trade Is still drag-ring wearily along Front street. One leading handler was unable to dispose of extra food stuff at toe a pound and put a on In the Ice house for keeping. Re ceipts are far the greatest ever known at this period of the year. POTATOES BELLING) FASTER till another Increase In the selling movement of potatoes la shown at near by points In the country. Dealers re- Itort that they are able to set quite a arte amount of choice at $101.05 per cental. At this figure they r able to ship to the outside. No fancy or extra fancy moving. SUGAR FIRMER IX THE EAST ? There was a further advance of JOo er hundred pounds m the price of re ined sugar st eastern eenters today. This Is expected to Influence the local trade. DRESSED MEATS ARB SLOW All lines of dressed meats showed a low tone along Front street today. The weakness was most severe for hogs and tops sold no higher than Ho a pound. CHICKENS ARE NOT FIRM No strenrth Is shown In lha chicken trade locally. Quite a larse amount of iock is Deing- camsa over irom my to day because dealers fere trying to keep the market from dropping too far. This, however, seems to have no effect. FISH DEMAND IS ENORMOUS " While there Is less ealT for Columbia river smelt in the local market at this time than during any previous season, the demand for fresh salmon is enor mous. Owing to the Inability of Pugret Bound to get thin fiah at home, it Is compelled to send here for supplies and this,, together with the Urge demand from the Portland territory,, lias caused a call that Is fully 19 times as great as offerings Of fish. FORECAST FOR SHIPPERS Weather bureau sends out the follow ing notice to shippers: Protect shipments ss far north as Be. attle against minimum temperatures of about 46 degrees; northeast to Spokane. 16 degrees: southeast to Boise. 82: south to Siskiyou, S3 degrees.

Only three loads of stuff arrived In the killing division and one of these was a direct shipment from the ooun try for a local meat company. Hogs available for the market today totaled but 146 head, but arrivals were 219 head. These compared with 101 head last Saturday, Top hogs sold this morning at North Portland at $6.76, the previous high price. The stock that has betn coming forward recently has been picked up very quickly by killers. With a cam paign for the greater production of hoga In full force, (his seems to be an influ ence that is causing killers to come forwsrd more quickly than usual.

Tops sold at 16.15 for both mixed and heavy loads of quality. Kansas City had 4000 hogs for the day with the market steady. Cattle Surplus Still Available. , There were no offerings of cattle on the North Portland market today. This, together with the small showing of 89 head yesterday and the limited amount that oame forward Wednesday, bas given some the Impression that the market was firmer and higher. While It Is true that cattle sold yes terday at 18 for Btflera mnA IK KA tor cows, tha price was due to the unusual ly good quality of offerings and not to any betterment of the demand. It Is generally believed that local killers have about 700 surplus cattle at this time, and it is but natural that these should oe women on Derore the trade oan pos sibly reflect any improvement It Is likewise stated that the cattle contract ed In the country by S. 8. prior to their temporarily quitting the local field ha been sold to the killer here at a lower prloe than the contract Thi. too, is a bearish Influence.

J. , WORST IN HISTi THE PORTLAND TRADE Not Over 50 Cases of Freeh Tilla mook Stock Held in All Hands Here and Only a Small Per Cent ' of Grocers Have Any to Offer. . It is safe to say that there are not SO cases of Oregon chess of fresh make In the entire Portland market at this time. The famine in the cheese trade has been prolonged for so long a period that dealers are getting accus tomed to the report of their dealers that they have none to offer. Even the few arrivals that have come forward recently have been so far over sold that there Is a continual fight for the stock. According to dealers It is far worse to get a few cases now and then than to get none at all. Retailers get the Idea that they are discrimi nated against and in favor of some other dealer but cheese sellers say they are forced to deliver to the firm placing the first order. Nominally Tillamook fresh cheese Is selling here at 19020c a pound but re ceivers say they could readily get the extreme top without difficulty If they cared to hold up their customers. To make matters worse there are practically no stocks of eastern cheese alvallable here. In some of the leading groceries of the oity no cheese has been available for several weeks. STEEL TONNAGE IS NOT SO FAVORABLE New York, Feb. 10. The tonnage statement of the United States Steel Corporation did not meet with the favor of the speculative trade today, and this Influenced a break of 1H points In the common stock. The report shows that the tonnage Increased but 196,000 tons, while the un filled orders are placed at 6,879.721 tone, or somewhat less than had been ex pected. The general market was weaker and fractionally lower, London was steady for American shares today. The number of idle cars in the United States decreased 67,704 In the fortnight ended January tl. Owing to the fear of strike there Is an unusually heavy demand for coal cars. Range of New York prices, furnished by Overbeck & Cooke Co.: Description I Openl Hlirhi Low I Bid Amal.

H, M. Haller, former president of the Portland chamber of commerce and the Associated Chamber of Commerce of the Paolfio Coast, returned yesterday from the annual meeting at San Fran cisco of the associated chambers. W. S. Bobbins, president of the San Fran cisco chamber, was elected ss Mr. Hal lcr's successor, with J. D. Loman of Seattle, as vice president. Mr. Loman Is president of the Seattle chamber of commerce. Among- the most important matters discussed at the meeting was the ques tion of free tolls through the Panama canal and the meetkig- in this connec tion took a firm stand for free tolle to American vessel. Arrangements were made for running a big excursion of business men of the Paoiflo coast cities to the canal some ttmo In April, when a large, newly equipped liner will be chartered for that purpose. The vessel IS now at San Francisco undergoing a general overhauling. It is expeoted that at least 200 business men from the various coast cities will par ticipate In the excursion. A cablegram was received from the Chinese Associated Chambers of Com merce stating that it was very doubtful that an excursion of business men to the states oould be held the coming summer owing to the political difficul ties over there. However, It la hoped to make the visit soon. Mr. Haller says he found business conditions much improved in California. Heavy rains have fallen recently in the San Franclsoo dlstrlot, with the result that the orop prospeots are excellent Southern California la still In need of rain, but for tourists the weather haa been Ideal. "Southern California la alive with tourists." said Mr. Haller, "and Portland can look for a large number of. these people passing through here next spring and during the summer. It Is said that thetourlat travel never waa greater In California than this year. "Another thing I notteed wa a greater spirit of harmony among the cities on the Pacific coast, and this I attribute In a large measure to tha or ganlsatlon of the aasoclated chambers of commerce."
