Best butter very firm. Peach movement restricted. e) Onions art held Bteady. Apple trade very slow. More Jackrabbits arrive. Hop movement quit fair. Dressed meatf. stead v. . The car shortage U the mc-st acute ever seen In .the local; market and in .many lines of trad,e business has been stopped almost altogether. . , The lack of rail transportation for po tatoes Is holding buying In check In the Willamette valley and although there is ?ulte a fair amount- of Jauslness of ered, none can pass owing to the lack , of equipment on the railroads. . Dealers report that they cannot do business under present conditions. They cannot eonttrm sales of supplies to Ari zona and Other points because they are unable to tell when cars for shipment can be obtained. Reasonably prompt de livery Is demanded by the buyers, and this sellers cannot guarantee. It is stated that some of the potato men have been waiting for box -cars for over three weeks and still cannot make con nections with the railroads. Refrige rator cars are entirely out or the ques Mon so far as potato shipments i are tson- - Mrnad. although it Is stated that other jirtatea are given somewhere near their needs In this respect. W th rather cool -weather, it would be taking very big " chances to ship potatoes across the mountains at this time, therefore most of the trade finds itself unable to do any business. , , - . . Nominally speaking, the price offered for fancy potatoes In the country stands at 60c per cental. , ' . , George Davenport, the local dealer, who was out in the Sherwood district yesterday, reported some very fine fields of potatoes there, although in Other fields blight was severe. 'The early crop is generally of good quality, - says Mr Bvonport,.. "and waa not at Xected by the blight" CHEESE MAY ADVANCE AGAIN A further advance of Ho a pound is ' likely in the Cheese market on the next Shipment. The Block that came forward on the steamer Elmore has about been '.leaned )ir old order taking the. bulk of the stock. The market is very firm at prices quoted. PEACHES HARD TO MOVE So far as the bulk of the demand Is concerned, the season for peaches n t only, demand la a very limited one for same as quoted yesterday. .ONION MARKET IS STEADY f . , Onion prices are being held steady in the local market with practically no i change in the price. Best stock is sett ing at 11.1691.25 a cental in the Front Street trade. No outside demand Is .shown because onions are cheaper elsa- where than here. FIX)RIDA GRAPEFRUIT COMING A carload of grapefruit from Florida - Is due to arrive In the local market dur- Ing the coming week. J The lot will be distributed among various dealers. Quality and siscs are said to be ex tremely good this season, , ; CHICKENS MORE ACTIVE GERulAIY BUYING SALT Sill Oil COLUMBIA; SERIES ARE SENT Catch Is Reported Very Small for Good Fish, Most of the Stock Com slstlng of Chums; Steelheads in a ' Very Small Supply. -Fresh-salmon is being salted on the lower Columbia river, and Is finding a very good demand In Europe. Germany Is a buyet-At-lhls time? and ;onte..plant on the river the Altoona company Is taking: all the sllversldes it can get and salting them for the foreign mar ket , "There has not been a very good catch of sllversldes this fall In the Columbia," says John Nelson , of the Pillar Rock Packing company, and captain of the steamer Harrington, operated by the company during the regular season. "The price paid is so low at this time that there Is no money In It for fisher men, and therefore few are operating. Those ih the business report a small catch. AVhiie last season 4c was paid fishermen for sllversldes, and there was much complaint on the lowness of the price at that time, this season the price rules from 2 to 2 c. "Most of the catch this fall has con slsted'of chums or dog salmon, and for these tha fishermen are obtaining only 6 to 10c each; Few steelheads have been caught to date, and there Is no telling whether there will be any run this season." The market for canned salmon con tinues to reflect weakness for the chums. The recent offering by a small Chicago broker of supplies at lower prices than named at the opening of -the season is said by packers' to be an at tempt of the big companies to continue their bearish tactics through other in terests, and thus force independents to the wall. cantaloupes, J1.50 per crate; water, melons, 9to per hundred lbs.; pears, !.;(&& 1.B0 per bojc; grapes,- baskets, ltxaiiuc; crates, 6Oe1.0o; cranberries, f S.604j)1.60 per bbl. i-oiAiUiT-balling price: Bxu choice, 7 60; choice. 5c; ordinary, so per cental; buying price, carloads. 6O0; country sweets, li.'i&Qfi.hu per cental.

While the class of hogs that came for ward to the North Portland market were not good enough to bring even the former top figures, the market may safely be considered a nickel better than yesterday. On the basis of the sales this morning better quality would read ily have brought $8.66 this morning. There was another fair run of sup piles In the hog division this morning, totals being 468 head, compared with 614 last Friday, none a year ago and 180 head this same day two years ago. Hog business In the local yards this morning was practically confined to out siders, local interests not being buyers. Purchasers of hogs are complaining about the quality and say that the stock now coming forward la fed too much here and therefore shows too great a shrinkage in dressing. It is contended that while hog prices here have been lower than in the east, the difference is more than made up by the greater fills here as well as the greater natural shrinkage of Pacific northwest hogs. Ksavy Eogi Take the Lead, At Chicago ttie market wus a shade better tor .good and heavy hogs, tops going to $9.36, while the best value ob tainable for mixed loads, which re cently went at the high point, wan $9.30, while light stuff sold at $9.25 for best offerings. In the local market the prltse bus beerr-beat- for- blocker stock; while heavy hogs have recently been shaded. Chicago had a run of 9000 hogs for the day, compared with 21,000 a year ago. Kansas City hog market was 6c higher for tops, which sold this morning at $9.26. Run for the day was 2600 head. South Omaha hog market has been doing better recently. This morning tops sold at $8 90. -Run for the day -was light, only 6000 head appearing. Hog shippers today: W. 11. Fields, Idaho Falls, , Idaho, 3 loads; Fred B.

Blackwell Bros... 20 76 - Much -strength- Is shown in the local markets for first class butter, but only a small amount of business is reportea from icehouse stock,' not withstanding the great difference that Is ruling la prices. Make of butter along the Pacific coast today Is the best ever known at this season, the total output being esti mated at fully 26 per cent more than last year. Some creameries report an Increase of rally 69 per cent, others re port 26 per cent, and atlll others show only 16 per cent more than this same time a year ago. The, action; of tho butter market here Is. good for. first class stock, and the same is true f the situation generally throughout the. United States. Cold storage stock is the only bearish factor and to move more of it the price oi the fresh product ha recent been manipu lated in the east, and this has forced the aditional advance here. Receipts of butter at New York for September1- were 103.480 packages, against 212,166 packages . last year, falling off of 18,686 packages. The average price of extra creamery was 29.76c and of firsts 2S.21c: New York Produce Review reports a reduction in local storage stocks daring the month of 26,900 packages, and gives the hold ings on October 1 at the four leading centers as follows: 1912 1911 1910 New York. 267,200 228,000 316,700 Chicago . . 3f8,fl0 400,000 634,000 BORton 298,000 259,600 338,100 Phila. . 83,000 68,000 100,000 WHEAT MARKET IS VERY FIRM EVERYWHERE; BALKAN TROUBLE HELPS Situation Abroad Better Than Here - and Local Cargo Trade May Be AU fected; , Club .
