Increase in offerings of tomatoes Is much heavier than the trade 'ha ex pected, and the big showing caught buy ers - unawares. 'I heref ore a quick re sponse was made lu the making of values. Bouthern s Oregon and - the Columbia river sections are shipping the bulk of the stock to tht trade at this time, al though quite a few shipments from home places are being mude. Quality is again rather good, al though some, overripe offerings as woll as spotted stock are still showing. ...Owing to tii baUer quaiiiv iiuw avail able tor, the home product and the low er prices named therefor, Importers of California tomatoes have been unable to unload their recent shipment, EGG MA11KET HOLDING FIRM Market for eggs Is holding firm along Front street, Sales of most lots are being made at 32c a dozen for extra fancy candled, although a nominal amount Is moving as high as 36c. Bey- eral small sales were made at this fig- tire during the morning. CHICKENS ABOUT AT TOP Frloe of chickens is seemingly at the top for the preiient movement. Owing to the Importation of so much eastern frozen stock, dealers are unable to squeeze a further advance. In fact, practically all the springs are moving at l&c. To get more than this stock must be extra select and perhaps not 1 per cent would grade thus. CHEESE FIRM AT THE RISE The cheese market is firm and prices are firmly hold at the advance of Me reported yesterday. While the advanced price will not take effect until Mon day, there is no cheese here at the pres ent time, and therefore nothing is avail able at prices quoted today. SWEET POTATOES EASIER An ep.sler tone Is showing In the sweet potato trade, and some. sales are being made down to 2c a pound, al though extra fancy is still quoted to 2 Vic. Quality gonerally good. PEACH MARKET FAVORABLE Market for peaches is favorable, with bent offerings Kolng at 60c a box. Ship ments from The Lulles and Yakima are again increasing. Quality is good, but quite a lot of green stuff Is in evidence. DRESSED MEATS EASIER All through the dressed meat market an eazler ton Is showing today. While somo dealers report their ability to se cure lBc for a nominal amount of No. 1 veals, tho trade In general Is not ablo j to sell above 14V4c, ni-oauml Ihium urn easier at 11 He to- i day.

IN SELLING SALMON AT OPENING VALUES Average Cost of Packing Chum Is 69 i Centa Per Dozen While Only 62H Cents Is Received; Some Sell Even at a Lower Quotation. By Hymnn H. Cohen. Packers of low grade salmon all along the Paclf io coast are facing a bis deficit ; 4 in their accounts, owing to the low price tnat was named oy the Aiasaa raea. era' association.

Tha fnllnwintr I considered a Very Bd average o.' the cost of packing cheap grade or chum salmon at the present time. In Borne localities It is more ana in others less man tne amoum SDeclfled. Per case of four dozen: Cans ......1.15 Labor . Insurance Incidental 40 Boxes .., U Labels 04 Fish ; .6ft Total .. ...$2.78 This shows that it costs practically 69 He to pack a dozen can of chum sal mon even at 6c a fish, which the trade is now paying instead of 10c as hereto fore. The opening price for this fish was 62'Ac, therefore the actual loss to th packer this season is fully ?- -'a dosen. . Some sales of chums have been made recently as low as 60o a dosen, there fore the loss will amount to 9 Vic a case. In the cost of canning the fish the items labeled insurance and Incidentals, include besides insurance taxes, office expense, salt, wood and other Incidentals that experience has shown to be fully as high as that listed. It is therefore small wonder that Co lumbia river packers are going to quit fall operations as soon as they are able to fill contracts already confirmed. Many Alaskan packers are holding their fish In the hope of an advance In the price eventually. There has been a very heavy demand for pinks and chums but little call for medium reus. Ptiget sound soekeyes and. in fact, all high grade fish, have been in such heavy demand that few cases remain. None of the spring pack of the Colum bia river is available. Puget sound soekeyes in halves are aclllng at 1.36 or 10c more than the ooening price asked for the Columbia river article. WANT PRICES LOWER Packers Frown Upon An Attempt to Shade Salmon Value. Special to Tb Journal.) Seattle, Wash., Sept. 21. Advices from Alaska and other districts point to the smallest fall pack of salmon on record. On Pugct sound the output will also be light. Fishermen who ordinarily sell to the canners are making arrangements to sell fish fresh in the cities. A few me dium reds will be packed in Alaska, but not many, The ligiit iaii operations are due to such low prices that canners cannot break even or at best can make very little money. The price of fall salmon has not yet been fixed by the pursa seiners, but will be within the next few days. The demand for red salmon has been so active that the bulk of the 1912 pack has been sold. Rockeyes have also sold well. Pinlia and medium reds have not cleaned up yet but brokers ffre still op timistic. Salmon interests here are frowning cn the attempts of eastern firms to shade prices below opening prices. The lead ing firms here are Absolutely refusing to meet that sort of competition, declar ing that conditions do not warrant price reductions. vei,l ' HHV'lSo; ordinary, 13Hl4c; poor, lie; lHiiios, iuioc, munon, y. be; coats. icc; oeei. iuiva.

Tho weakness In the trade here Is due to the inability of buyers to secure their previous purchases in the country. Most of them have liberal stocks already pur chased, but are unable to get them to tidewater. The warehouses of the in torlor ar filled to overflowing, there fore there Is no Inclination to take hold at previous high Ttces. The oats situation Is mixed. Shorts continue to talk of lower prices. For foed they are talking $27 and say that good stuff can be purchased at this fig ure, but It is not likely that No. 1 mill ing could be bought under $28 for spot. Considering the damage that has been done the quality of oats by the rains. It Is believed that the price of No. 1 mill ing oats will remain extremely high during tho remainder of the season. Barley market is quiet, both for feed and brevrlng. Although the latter is quoted firm, no business of Importance Is passing. Feed Is fractionally weaker at the, prices quoted. Flour prices were put down 20o a barrel for patent, effective today. This places the market at $4.20 and is the lowest price reached here for many years, considering the height of the wheat market.
