Movement to Market Is Showing
an Increase Today.

Kigg marKet is winner wiu ,wwo
again. Receipts for the day on Front
street were about the heaviest of the
season, and with an absence of outside
demand stoelc was harder to move.
Preparations are well under way for
the storage season, but the price is still
too high to admit of any business in
that direction at present.
California market is not -nearly so
weak sine the storage of eggs began
there, and for extra Zoa was being
generally quoted at San Francisco to
day. On Puget sound there Is no change
in quotations, 24o a dozen being nomi
nally in effect at Seattle, although It
is slated that this price is shaded once
in a while. . .
The market here has mystified even
the larger operators and some of them
have paid about as much for supplies
as they get from dealers. One large
concern which was offering a fraction
better than 20c a dozen t o, b. Port
landv has suddenly change Its mino.
and has sent out another card canceling
the first price at once. The new price
offered la equally mysterious, the print
ed price being 20c, while 19o is written
on the card in ink.
Salos were made along the street at
Soo to 21c this morning, the latter be
ing for select candled atock. .,
- WALNUT PRICES REDUCED .
Price of walnuts has been reduced
about a cent a pound by the California
association. It has been found that the
surplus waa unusually heavy and the
lower figure Is named to induce buying.
ASPARAGUS IP IN THE SOUTH
111 "her prices are again being named
for asnaraeua in California on account
of ihe colder weather and latest arriv
als here cost more money.. There Is
at ill considerable old stock available
which Is selling at lower figures.
UllTEIl M.utKbT la UUUD
The dressed meat market Is weaker
along the street today. The 'weakness
is more apparent in dressed veal than in
other lines; In fact, that Is the only
branch of tho provision trade that
shows any material easiness at this
time.
Sales of dressed veal were made In a
limited way as Inch as 13 He a pound
today, but some of the lending .handlers
were not quoting above 12 foe a pound
tor oest otrerinss.
While the' hosr market Is not brisk
along the street. It is not showing the
strength so easily noticeable during the
previous week. Sales as a rule are
etui being maae at previous figures.
The only real strong branch of the
dressed meat trade today is the mut
ton market. While offerings have been
fairly liberal along the street recently,
the trade hsa been good and sales of
lambs are firm up to 10c. while pack
era are getting 10V4o for this class of
stuff. "
A very rood movement of butter Is re.
ported by all Jocal handlers. While
prices are still being cut by some, most
of the dealers are asking 84 to 3vq a
pouna lor oest prints. '

and 11.90 ner cental was being offered
for choice potatoes there -Is not be

While there has been considerable agi
tation recently regarding the price of mo
hair here and elsewhere the sason has
not really opened and it would be im
possible for anyone to say what price
will be' in effect when shearing starts
and fleeces are offered.
The pring haa been rather cold and
the shearing season is somewhat de
layed. No hair is therefore being of
fered.' Dealers are nominally quoting
from 30 to 32c a pound Portland deliv
ery for year-old hair.
As an interesting development of the
recent report that the big Kanford mills
had paid 36c a pound in New Mexico for
six months old hair, a special message
from the mills In answer to an inquiry
from Herman Metzger, their represent
ative, says that the report Is without
foundation, for not onlv did the" mill
not pay 8 Jo a pound, hut Is not In the
market at all for six months hair.
The message follows:
"Sanford. Maine. March 12. Herman
Metsger, Portland, Or. Believe we have
seen in print ene report rererreo te cred
iting us with paying 35e in New Mexico
for six months growth mohair and
would say the report Is absolutely un
true and we deny it in toto. We are
not Interested In six months' growtrt
mohair at any price and discourage all
shipments Of this class of hair as far as
wt can. SANFORD MILLS."

FRACTIONAL ADVANCE
IN NEW YORK MARKET
Week ago. 180
The extreme strength of the cattle
situation elsewhere la likely to cause
a shortage in local supplies after the
present surplus Is out of the way.
Cattle prices are firm all over the
country, Portland being a notable ex
ception. The wants of the trade here
are not heavy and therefore whenever
a good run is presented it has a reac
tionary effect Upon values.
Without a place to take' care of the
surplus , except at high priced - feeding
grounds, the local trade is not in a po
sition to successfully compete with
mere fortunate centers In this respect.
Only a few cattle came forward to
North Portland today, but this did not
move quickly.' .
Competitive Karxets Good.
Competitive markets are showing a
real good tone for cattle. Advances
are general everywhere and the re
quirements of killers are not being
taken care- of, All through the United
States, and especially east of the Kock
lea, the situation Is the best In years.
Even though they have fairly good runs
in the yards at Chicago, Kansas City
and South Omaha, trade today Is far
the best ever shown during the Lenten
season.
At Chicago they had a run of 13,000
cattle tor the day with the market show
ing an advance of 10 to 16o over yes
terday. ' .-'.--.-. '.:............-
. Similar strength but to a greater
degree was shown at Kansas City this
morning. Cattle offerings for the day
there were 6000 head. Prices closed
15 cents better than yesterday with
firm trading right up to the end of the
offerings.
South Omaha cattle market was strong
with an advance of 10 cents in the
price. Top steers went at $8.00 this
morning. '

Portland today lost its reputation of
being the highest priced swine market
in tne country, v Chicago- overtopped
North Portland by at least 15o during
the day and the market was very firm.
Locally the arrivals were quite fair
during the day. -A total of 341 head
arrived, compared with 180 head last
Wednesday. Sales were made as high
as $8.85 for tops but only one load
brought this figure while another went
at $ti.80 and still another at $6.76. The
advance for the day was therefore 10c.
Chicago showed its strongest tone for
hogs today and the highest price of the
season was in effect. One of the feat
ures of special note in the swine trade
everywhere was the fact that arrivals
are smkller than a year ago. At Chi
cago they were 31.000 for the day com
pared with 36,000 a year ago. Tops sold
there . at $7 this morning. This was
for heavy packing stock while mixed
loads went at $8.95. ' - .

' Wo Bheep Are ATallable.
There waa' still another famine day In
the mutton market at North Portland
today, The only arrivals were-48 head
and these were brought in by the reg
ular buyer of, the Union Meat company
for that concern.
The situation in the - mutton . trade Is
extremely good. Demand Is increasing
while offerings for . this market are
smaller. This is due entirely to the
fact that better prices are available at
other centers. Therefore the movement
of sheep is away from here.
At Chicago the situation in the mutton
trade was so good that a further ad
vance of 10c was forced In the price
even though they had offerings of 20,
000 head this morning;,.
All ' of the eastern markets seem to
have fallen in with one another today,
for at Kansas City the, sheep trade was
advanced 10 to 15c for the day and
the 13,000 head that came forward
were quickly knapped up by waiting
buyers. .'. . '
Similar strength was noted at South
Omaha this morning, where an advance
of lOo wns shown in the price. Top
lambs Bold at $7.15, yearlings $6, weth

CHICAGO
RADE
The oats market Is excited and a
high as $34 a ton has been offered and
paid for No. 1 white during the past
34 hours. --The general market stands
at $33.50 for that grade, based upon
track delivery Portland.
California Is now the big factor In
the oats trade and la anxiously bid
ding for all the oats that it can secure.
Most of the sales durlnsr the present
week have been for that account ao far
as the Willamette valley is concerned.
There. Is practically only a nominal
supply of oats now remaining In the
hands of. the Pacific northwest produc
ers, and these are being held for "higher
figures. Speculators have a fair supply
but are asking more money. The situ
ation is the best of the season with the
posslbllky of a "corner" before the
season closes. .
Wheat Is firm at 87o track basis' for
club and 90e for bluestern.
Flour market is f lrin but quiet. , No
change Is announced in the price of
either patent or export Business abroad
is practically at a standstill, - .
MAY WHEATiMPED

ket had a severe break in the May op
