That there haa been a very liberal In creasy in tha marketing: of fresh ranch eggs here recently - is shown by the fact that leading; retallera who are in the habit of soliciting consignments from tha country are overburdened with ; offerings atui scarcely know what to do with some' Borne of them have made ' f. o. b. offers to shippers that are over 6c a dosen over tha prlca that la now ruling here, and are therefor forced Ho take 'their losses, , - One leading retailer sent 10 eases of . his surplus slock to a Front atreet com mission house yesterday afternoon and .-:. was willing to accept even the low price then in effect giving the handler tha .usual commission. - ' - ' Fresh ranch eggs were selling frem So to tic a dosen along Front atreet today. The lower price was for caae count, or Just as the stock la sent In Jspm the country. The higher figure aa seldom obtained, average sales of candled goods being around Ho thla ' morning. 1 ....:, -,:. CHICKEN MARKET IS LOWER About a naif cent haa been out off -the price of chickens In the Front street trade owing to the greater ar ': ; rivals than expected and the smaller " demand. All lines are included. CHEESE MOVEMENT SMALL . Only a very small movement is shown ! in the cheese trade. Buyers are indif ferent, and while not asking for lower r rices, are allowing handlers to hold he surplus.. CALIFORNIA PRODUCE ARRIVES California eteamer arrived and was unloaded this morning. A very liberal shipment of freah greens came from the south' for the Christmas trade. Prices In general are unchanged. ROPE UP A HALF CENT POUND Another advance of a half cent a pound has been forced in the price of all grades and varieties of rope in the local market by the Portland Cord , age company. There has been a series of adyanoes In this line recently, HOP TRADE IS QUIET . Whlla a few orders for hone are still J - being held by local dealers, no bual 1 ness of note , is passing in the trade. 1 ldeaa of holds are stilt elevated over I those that buyera are willing to pay ' C.

Run for the day included 774 head, compared with 3 yesterday, 1447 last Thursday, 80S a year ago and (29 head this day two years ago. The fact that conditions elsewhere are' rather steady, with prices in some instances higher, leads to the conclusion that prices nave about struck the low level, and might possibly do better here unless shippers continue to overfeed the trade. At Chicago there was a firmer tone In the hog trade, with an advance of a nickel ui the price. Tops went to 17.85 again. Run for the day was 17,000 head, compared with 27.000 a rear ago.

Special ad vices received by The Journal from its correspondents as well as through pri vate sources, are conflicting. Home reports Indicate tnat stations that have been liberal shippers of tur keys to the Portland market in other seasons, will not have enough for their pwn requirements. On the other hand other reports, and from the same places, indicate tnat foruana win get irora there a greater supdy than usual, be cause the larger per cent ot the birds were 100 poor to snip ror me Tnanas- gtving trade and were therefore held over for fattening. The general opinion seems to be that there will be fully 5 per cent more birds In the Portland and Seattle mar kets than last Christmas. This estimate included stocks held In storage from Thanksgiving. " Heattle advices still are of a very unfavorable trend with no indication ot any quantity moving above 22c a pound and with the prospects of the bulk ot the birds not reaching above 20c. A mall advice from Ban Francisco Bays that the - receipts of -dressed turkeys were light, but receivers were not able to aavance prices, owing to unfavor able weather and no demand from the holiday trade -except from parties hav ing refrigerators and those willing to take chances by putting in cold storage. The price at which they sold was 20c to 22c a pound for choice to fancy. Low er graaes soia ror less money. In the Portland market sales .of ex tra select birds are reported in a very limited way at 22o a pound, but not enough stock Is moving to base an ac curate Quotation. Receipts are begin nlng to show an Increase. The bulk of the stock for tbe Christmas trade will arrive Sunday. Talk of Government Investigation Sends Metal Shares Higher. New York, Deo. 13.
