i Tha weakness in ths egg market jeon
itlnuea,, Expectations of even a frac
, ttonal Improvement, In' tha outlet and
price have not been -fulfilled, and tha
trade l not inclined to withhold sup
piles, no matteif. what prlea la offered.
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. GOOD CALL FOR MEATS
There is a very good call for coun
try-killed meats In the local - produce
traae. uotn nogs ana veais are now la
demand, the latter selling readily, at
ISO for top qiiAIlty and beet hogs going
In a limited way up to 10c.

With Christines only a few dava off
there is considerable speculation among
the trade as to the amount of turkeys
tnat will come forward. 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. Government In
vestigation report regarding the al
leged merger of copper producing com
panies which pool their Interests In
order to boost the price of metal, had a
boosting effect upon - all values to
day. Judging by past experiences with
government investigation, speculators
bought for higher prices. Amalgamated
closed with an advance of 24, Ameri
can smelter 4 Anaconda and U. S,
Steel common !? points.
Railroad shares followed the advance
in the industrials, yesterday's rise in
Reading dividend being the basis for
the movement of prices today in this
group. The better foreign political
situation also a contributing factor.
Germany was offering 8 per cent to
day for 80 day money in Mew York.

Enlarging on this subject, President
Taft said the plan was not new, and
that a favorable report was mads In
the thirty-eighth congress on a plan
which was almost Identical.
The message also predicted that the
postal savings banks, which now are
running at a deficit of $300,000 per an
num, would be self-sustaining when the
deposits reach $60,000,000.
Tha president s message also defends
the recent placing of 88,000 third and
fourth class postmasters under civil ser
vice and denies that tha reform was
undertaken from political motives. .
