Chickens steady. ' Pressed meats firm. Apiilo market .steady.' , Prunes sell low. Ho;-, irado at standstill. Potatoes remain quiet. Cheese and butler firm. e ,F. TV. Hennlngsen has sent out the word that Oregon eggs art to ba quoted at a higher price. At first glance this would Indicate that tho market would jusuiy such a movement, mere is way a reason for Bitch sentiment. Some times it is due to a scarcity or tne home prorluet ahd o tiler times to manipula tion. Just at present the Inttr is the cause. Tliuro in a good supply of local eggs at the moment nnd dealers are experi encing soma difficulty in netting Myers for o,ulck movement. Case count sales are being made alone the street at 23c to 23 Ho a dozen, while the best price that buyers are willing to pay shippers Is 22c. Onndled eggs are selling generally at HGc a dosen wltli some willing to un load nt 14 H: nnd others asking as high as 2(io In n vory limited way. Kven .tlii latter price Is considered too low bv Mr. llcrinlnHen. who. by the way, Is almost an exclusive dealer In eastern egs-e. If 'lOcnl egg values are boosted higher It will allow the Importer of the eastern stock to get more money for their goods. Al the present time there Is a smaller margin between the local market and the earn than for many years. This belnn tho ease, the importers of the Utter ere practically out of business unless they can force a higher price- for the home product that would eventually cut out their sale and allow the eastern stock to be sold t a fractionally lower value. Much of the eastern stock that has arrived recently has not been of very good quality and this had hurt their sale. To some extent local egs are not "as f;ood an tin1)' might he, because country nterests hold them too long. PEACH MARKET IS FIRM There Is no change In the peach mar ket situation, sales of Crawford and Elhertas ranging as high as 75c a box. Oregon stocks are selling from 0c to 70e for most offerings but tops are bringing the market's extreme. PRUNES AND PLUMS LOW Owing; to the prers of other fruits Upon tho market, prunes ami plums are selling lower In the Front street trade. Pest offerings go at 60c a crate of four baskets, but some off grade stuff sold down to 20c. TOMATO MARKET EASIER Market for tomatoes Is easier. Re ceipts arc slightly heavier and best offerings jro at 50c for box, and it Ik hard to Met flits .price. Quality Is en erally good from tho homo territory. CANTALOUPES HOLD AT $1.35 While offerings of cantaloupes are rather liberal, the movement outward Is pood and sales are generally around per crate for good quality. Watermelons are steady at previous SFJ.SS.fi : .. ... DRESSED MEATS HOLD HIGH An advance of a half cent a poum provisions today. A new price list has been issued bv Fred Danlelson of the local house of Frve, which shows a rise was geneTauy iuiu i" ."- n f He for nams, nacnn nun mru boo for compound. PackhiB house beef and tnutton is unchanged but hogs are up He. HITTER MARKET CLEANS VT Tn th butter market a very rood movement Is reported. All local and outside handlers report demand as good as supply at 'present values and as here was no cnange receuuy the general situation Is unchanged.

PORT YARDS E SITUATION IS HOLDING EVERYWHERE Eastern Price Renialna Unchanged and No Change Id Made at Tllla mooki Oregon Product la Helped bj Freight Hate. All attempts of packing interests to depress the price of cheese here as well as in the east have failed. The eastern market remains unchanged at 15 a pound, in carlots while Tillamook stands at 16c f. o. b. that olt", The local mar ket remains at 17 o for flls and there Is no indication of any serious change within the immediate future. According to a messeage from Tilla mook Interests this morning sellers there were experiencing no difllclty in getting the price for their entire output. California ts still a buyer. It costs 17c to land Tillamook cheese in the Cali fornia market while the eastern stock cost 17Hc. While the differential Is small it is believed to be great enough for the trade here to retain Its hold. . Even at the same price of landing eastern stock here as It would cost to bring in the Tillamook make, tho local market would still be favorable to the home product as buyers will not pay as much here for tho eastern make as they will for the home output.

Court; Decides Against Fight Films In Test Case; May :: t&aL In spite Iff the fact that Judge Mor row, as presiding judge of the circuit court, held this morning that the mov ing pictures of the" Johnson-Flynri prise fight at Las Vegas, N. M., July 4, could not be shown at the Bijou theatre, the pictures are being exhibited there to day. - O. F. Woody, who Is managing the films in Portland, submitted to arrest yesterday in order to test the matter peaceably in the local courts. When the case came up this morning Judge Morrow held that Inasmuch as he considers prizefighting demoralising and degrading, the pictures should not be shown in Portland. The unofficial board of censorship comprised of Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, representing the As- sociatca cnarmes; Mrs. A. c. McNewij, representing the Woman's club; Mr: Maurice Goodman, representing the Council of Jewish Women, and Mrs. M. R. Trumbull, representing the Child Labor commission, was present at the hearing and opposed the exhibition of tho pictures. Attornejr Alex Bernstein, who ap peared for Woody, said the Johnson Flynn pictures are more In the nature of a "pink tea" than a priie fight. A. law passed by congress and ap proved by President Taft July 31 pro hibits the depositing or sending of any pictures, films or other pictorial repre sentations of any prize fight or encoun ter of cuallists from one state, territory or the District 6t Columhla to any other state, territory or the District of Co lumbia In the malls, express companies or other common carriers. It also pro- hlblts the receipt or carrying of any such contraband articles mailed, deliv ered or carried In Interstate commerce. Representatives of the ministerial as sociations of the city are to call upon the t'nlted States district attorney this afternoon and It Is expected that com plaints will be drawn up against the proprietor of the Bijou and other thea tres which have advertised pictures of this description for exhibition. The pen nlty for violation of this act is a fine fvf not more than $1000, imprisonment of not more than a year or both at tho discretion of the court. not larger than one-fourth inch In dla- meter or two smaller spots aggregating the same area or less, blze limited to 200. Orchard Run Grade Onlv such an pies as may be classed as choice or bet ter may no piaeea in orcnara run pa ex. No full green specimens or a red va riety will be permitted. No else smaller than 185. Iower grades of apples will be disposed of for cooking or cider apples. The Hood River apple crop is now estimated at 875,000 boxes, which Is 100 per cent Increase over any previous crop.
