THC OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, fl TURDAY nvr.-N'ir.'G. i. w A , CEASES II POTATO MARKET AT ALL VALLEY POINTS Everyone Is Laying Low Owing to t General Expectations of Contin ual Dullness; Only Nominal Prices Are Xow Dclng Quoted. - Peruana 'Waolesale Market Eggs are holding. Chickens shaded. Cheese holding firm. Potato market quiet Onions scarce. , Cabbage very flnn. Wool and mohair firm. Hops remain quiet. Dressed meats steady. Buying in the potato market at Wll llamette valley points has entirely ceased. So tar as can he ascertained at tliis time no business la passing. While a small number of old orders have been filled during the last few , days, this Is the extent of the trans actions since the recent sharp Recline In the price In California. While the buying price has been nominally placed at $1.75 for extra fancy stock, dealers tiave turned down offers of this quality at the price men tioned, during the past 14 hours, Front street dealers are buying some potatoes from carload buyers, but even this business is limited, as everyone seems to anticipate a slow market for some time to come. - . ' There has been no change In the po tato situation at California points dur ing the past 60 hours, accumulations at the leading centers being rather severe ' and there is no inclination among buy ers to take on additional supplies. DRESSED MEATS ARE STEADY There was a steady tone in the dressed meat trade along the street to day. Supplies of ail kinds werecleaneil up and prices fairly well maintained to : the last. ... . - CHICKENS SELL LOWER Borne of the chickens tfcat arrived a week ago were sold this morning at 16c for best offerings and l&ttc for others. This was slightly lower than what fresh stock would have brought but was all that receivers could get. This Is .the first opportunity they had to sell during the week. GREEN GOODS TRADE STEADY : The market Is generally well sup ' plied with green goods and the trade Is steadv. While some weakness is showing- for spinach and lower prices-are resulting, asparagus and other lines are holding...- .. BUTTER. MARKET VERY FIRM Increasing strength is show,n in the butter market although receipts from country creameries are again Increasing. Kastern butter is still coming forward. Much talk is being heard regarding the Hue of this under state brands, but the Refusers have never been able to bring forth the slightest proof, GOOD ONIONS ARE SCARCE Good onions are rather scarce in the local .trade and prices are unusually firm. Few carload lots are now being offered at any price. Most of the stock is retained in the Sherwood district.

CHEESE LIE K " SUFFICIENT T E Price Is Held Intact Here at Recent High Record; Tillamook Able to Sell All Its Offerings at Extreme High Figure. A special advice from Tillamook this morning stated that the market thcie was hording rather steady for offer ings. According to the report a suffi cient amount of business Is at present available to take care of the small in crease In offerings and for that reason prices are not being shaded. While showing somewhat greater than duFlna- the trevious week, th out put of cheese at the Tillamook centers is not nearly as heavy as some had-expected.- The flow of milk is still small compared with, what may be expected within a few weeks. Demand for cheese is coming from both the north and south and as Tilla mook is about the only one to supply this call for first class stock at the moment makers are able to hold up their prices. The fsct that thev are still paying record values for milk is evidence sufficient that they do not In tend to lower the price quicker than absolutely necessary. The high priced milk contracts run only for March therefore a revised sit uation may be expected after the pres ent make Is out of the way. PRICE OFllEC ALONG THE COAST Ban Francisco; March 80.

There was a firmer tone In the en tire livestock market today at North Portland. ; A fractional advance Was forced in the price of cattle but upper limits are unchanged. There was only a light run fur the day, but little stuff is expected here on the last day of the week. The fact that the offerings were received with favor indicates that tha trade Is in a better position than form erly. One lot of heifers that averaged 1109 pounds went at 15.75, which is consid ered quite a liberal price at this time. Steers did not bring above $6.40. but this was due to the rack of quality. One load that sold at that figure aver aged 1111 pounds. Today's run of cattle was (8 head compared with J 2 8 last Saturday. At Chicago there was a steady tone in the cattle trade, with a run of 100 head. Prices were nominal Kansas City had but 200 cattle In the yards today, therefore not enough came to fully test prices.

No change was made In-the price of hogs at North Portland during the last day of the week. There'1 was only a small supply available for the market; most of the stock coming direct to a local meat market from its regular buyer In the vallev. Top hogs sold this morning at $7.50 in the North Fortland yards. Run for the day was but 160 head, but cone arrived here last Saturday. .Elsewhere the market was exceedingly firm. 'Chicago prices established an en tirely new high record for the present movment within a fraction of the $8 mark. Tops sold there this morning at $7.97. Run for the day there was 8000 head, compared with 12,000 a year ago. At leading cacklne Centers of the middle west there continues a shortage of tog offerings. - For the day there was a loss f 7000 head compared with the same day In 1911. Kansas City hog market was firm with a rise of 10c for the day. Run there was 40 head, and these were quickly snapped up. Outside of the few head of hogs that came from Condon, together with other stuff, the only shipper to North Port landtrffiday was C. E. Luckev, the form er Canby butcher,-, who had two loads of hdgs and sheep in from the Clack amas city this morning. They were a direct shipment to the Union Meat com pany: v.

There is a steady tone in the egg market "and prices are held intact at the figures quoted.

Storers continue to offer their "dirt ies'' around 20c a doxen In order to clean up more promptly and this H hurtirfg the regular trade to some ex tent These eggs are Just as good as the clean stock but the appearance in against them. They cannot beSused for storage because the dirt will isoon rot the rest of the eggs in the casf. . In general. Front street Is obtaining 20ft to 2lo a dosen for eggs. Thefhigh er price is in effect in a HmltedNwaj while the lower figures rules for Job bing transactions, which in reality are the basis for the market. The egg market continues rather firm elsewhere. In the south beat candied stock is holding at 21c a doxen and (n the north 23 to 24o a dosen is being quoted. . Storage operations here are only fair owing to the extreme values.
