Increase in offerings of tomatoes Is
much heavier than the trade 'ha ex

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

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

PACKERS FACE LOSS .
IN SELLING SALMON

Average Cost of Packing Chum Is

By Hymnn H. Cohen.
Packers of low grade salmon all along

Tha fnllnwintr I considered a Very

present time. In Borne localities It is

Per case of four dozen:
Cans ......1.15
Labor .
Insurance Incidental 40

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.

There were no hogs arallable for tho
market at North Portland today al
though there were arrivals of 111 head.
The few that came were a direct
shipment to a local meat company.
Considering the standing of the hog
trade yesterday and the big supplies
now held by killers as well as the liber
al offerings that are pressing for salt)
in the country; til indications are. that
tops will drop to $8.50 during the com
ing week or 15c below the present mar-
At the rate of the advances In the
eastern trade this would put Portland
in fourth place among tne livestock
markets of the country instead of third
place as yesterday and first place this
market has held for many years.
There was a better tone in the hog
trade everywhere except Portland today,
Chicago was up another nickel, with
tops bringing $8.80 in the yards. Run
there was 6000 head, compared with
8600 a year aso.
Kansas City cattle market was 69 10c
higher for, the day, which would place
the price there on a par witn cmcago
Kansas City had a run of 1200 head to
day. South Omaha hogs were 10lSe high
er than yesterday, with tops at 1 8. 6 J.
Run was 2200 head.
The only shipper of hogs In the yards
today was C. K. Lueche, who scans the

ket trading today. .The bank statement
was better than anticipated and It has
been said quite authoritatively that
some of the South African gold arrivals

the better in monetary conditions and
also the satisfactory fundamentals
which have been the subject of favor
able discussion for quite a period. It
is unlikely that further advancing ten

The market for wheat Is easier and
bids are being shaded a cent a bushel
all around. Club offers today stand at
7 8 f 7 9c a bushel, track basis tidewater,
with bluestem Hl&fic.
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. No change was made In
export, which stands at 13.603.70.
