The weakness In the potato trade all
ever the Paclfio slope ia causing ship
pers to wonder what has become of all
the usual demand for tubers.
For awhile some of the local and oth
er "Willamette valley shippers were
sending quite fair supplies to tiie Hay
City and southern California markets,
and their returns have almost in every
Instance either been at a lower price
than they paid or Just about equal, to
Late digging is new general In' the
tlver section of California and the crop
there as well as In southern California
and In the Pacific northwest Is the
f reatest in the history of the industry.
Regarding the general situation in the
Ban Francisco market, a leading dealer
there wrote to his representative In
J'ortland under date of November II
as follows:
"Our potato and onion market is in a
deplorable condition, the Japanese grow
ers have been holding back digging po
tatoes as their potatoes would not keep
until after we had rain. They are .now
digging freely and what they cannot
sell ere consigning to our market. Re
ceipts yesterday were 10,000 sacks and
today 16,000 sacks, about three times as
many potatoes as can be sold to ad
vantage, as we nave no snipping outlet.
The very finest selected river potatoes
are selling for 6o pr 100 in 20 to 25
sack lots, and a really fine river po
tato is selling for 45 to bOc per sack
of 118 to 120 pounds."
Another dealer writes from the same
City under similar date:
"In regard to Garnets, we do not think
it advisable to buy too many ahead. The
gardeners have a good share of their
e-eed. Market here on rivers is very
weak the last few days, und looks as
though for the next month we are go
ing to have extremely low prices. There
has been too many Oregc-ns coming In
here from different points and the mar
ket is very slow. tVe think It, advisa
ble to hold back shipments from Ore
gon to this market for the next tnre
weeks. The holidays coming on. It looks
to us as though the market will be in
very poor share."
Regarding the onion situation in the
south, a dealer from there writes as fol
lows: " "The onion market ia in a worse con
dition than potatoes. Many of our on
ions got more or less vfet tn the late
rain and these are being thrown upon
th market at anything they will brine.
We, ourselves, sold this morning a large
bunch ol onions iti mo per saca, wquo
several lots were given to anyone who
would haul them away. We do not
think the.se conditions will last long, us
onions that will not keep will have to
go to the dump and poBslbly the better
lota will then advance in price. Condi
tions look bad for at least 60 days."
rOl'LTUY -MARKET IS WEAK
While th receipts are not excessive
there is only a nominal demand for
chickens In the Front street trade today
ami the riirkt is elow at 12c a pound
for best offerings.
COUNTRY BUTTER SLOW
Market for country creamery butter
-isslow iwrr- -Receivers are- not able
to command highest prices for the rea
son that th.re is a sufficient city
creamery to fill all the call. Buyers
will not take the lesser known outside
goods at the same price.
BANANA TRAiy DELAYED
Owing to a late'start at New Orleans,
.the banana train that U due here on
Friday will not Hkoly arrive until the
first of next week. The market still
"has quite fair supplies, therefore no
famine is shown.
' EGG TRADE IS STEADY
Trade in the egg market is steady
along Front street. bales are being
made in a limited way at 45c for se
lected fresh stock, but only a very
small percentage of the limited arrivals
grade No. 1. Most of the sales at 43 4j)

Another spell of weakness Is shown
in the local turkey trade. ' Bales of
dressed birds were made generally dur.
ing the last 24 hours .- at iZ&2io ,a
pound, although some extra selected
stock sold in small lots a cont higher
than, this range. . ,
Receipts of 4ressed turkeys are quite
fair -along the street. As a rule very
little of the stock shows good quality
and this Is one reason why. the market
Is not so favorable.
More Inquiries have been received by
local dealers regarding ; the probable
price of i turkeys than ever before
known, although few have made any
deoided attempt to. secure supplies this
season owing o the congested condition
of trade -.generally. . Fanners all over

what dealers are going to get for their

There was a ellalutv weaker feeling
In the cattle trade for the day at North
Portland. Stock that would have brought
$7.25 quite readily-at the start of ths
week or last week, aold a- dims, lower
at $7.16, with both local and Puget
sound Interests buyers at this figure.
Several loads went at ths hlgn mark.
Run of cattle for ths day in tne local
yards was rather light- with only 140
head reported. This compares with 171
a week ago, a single head a year ago
and 699 head this earns day two years
..
cattle situation generally mrougnoui
ths 'country showed a weaker tone for
the day. There were liberal runs every
where and as a rule prices were lower,
Chicago had 26,000 cattle On the mar
ket this morning, causing much weak
ness, which resulted in a loss of 10c
to Ific in the price. ,
Kansas City cattle market continues
to reflect nothing but weakness and
today's prices were at a decline of 16c
from yesterday. The Kaw river mar
ket showed a run of 8000 head this
morning.
South Omaha cattle trade was weak
er, while tops remained at the same
price as yesterday, $9.75 being obtained
in a limited way, ths general trade was
a dime under yesterday.

a slight showing of weakness and some
stuff that would have probably been
taken at the extreme top a few days
ago. sold from 5o- to 10c lower. Bales
of tops were sgsln made at $8 during
the mornlnar trade.
This places the North Portland market
a dime above any other market In the
country.
Fnr the first time In many months,
South Omaha leads all of the middle

company brought forward three more
loads from Montana. Total supplies
were rather heavy but most of the of

though tons are scarce everywhere.

CABBAGE GROWERS IN
TIGHT PLACE; CANNOT
- SELLTHEIR PRODUCT
Practically No Demand Is Showing
' at This Time and .Most Offerings
. Are Sent to Dump Because Buyers
. Are Not in Sight,
What has become of ajl those eld
fash Ion ed New England dinners that
were formerly served in this section?
The style seems to be caanglng because
for cabbage there Is practically no de
mand in the local market at this time.
There Is less cabbage being sold in
the local wholesale market today than
ever before known, although the quality
of offerings it th best. -
For months there ha been scarcely
any movement in the oabbage trade here
and the bulk of the arrivals have been
sent to the dumo owlnsr to the inabil
ity of receivers to find buyers at any i
price. Cabbaga has been so plentiful
at times that wholesalers could not give
It .ui.v r .
While cabbage is todsy being quoted
at c to 1 Mo a pound for crated stock
in the Front street trade, there is not
enough moving to really establish quo
tations. Growers of cabbage are. losing muoh
money and it is likely that many will
abandon that branch of the industry
after the present season is over.

.Under the belief that they are likely
to rutoh soma of the Pacific northwest
grain sellers short of bright feed bar
ley, action has been taken by the San
Francisco Merchants' Exchange to re-
ioct any feed barley from Oregon, Wanh
Ington-and Idaho that has the slightest
showing of stain.
This is the first time ever known
that such action has been taken. It
has been the usual rule to accept
stained barley at a discount under tho
established price, the . difference being
decided bv aualltv. - This year, how
ever, the Ran Francisco Interests refuse
to accept Paclfio northwest stained bar
ley on contract at any price.
Just why this action has been taken
aside from the belief that some of the
leading interests In the Bay City may
be ble to squeeze Pacific northwest
sellers, is what the trade here Is won
dering at. The local barley standard,
which Is taken by the leading exchanges
of Europe, has been ignored this season
by the San Francisco exchange.
The standard set by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce this season Is
from 1H to 3 nounds per bushel heavier
than the San Francisco standard, there
fore, calling for a really better grade.
The slight stain that may be shown on
of this section Is not really a detriment
an it is much better feed than what the
California standard calls for.
The Portland chamber of commerce
grain committee hus taken up the mat
ter and the Seattle Merchants' Exchange
has already entered protest against the
alleged discrimination.
The wheat market Is a very quiet
ffnlr locally. The small amount of
business which recently developed has
suddenly ceased because of the failure
of the local tfaoe to ooiain sausiaciory
rirlcnn far carsoff; No wheat cargoes
have been "sold in the Pacific northwest
for several weeks, therefore, the trade
